What else could Su Nanxi have asked them to come for? Of course, it was to chat!

It's been so long since we had a proper chat. Now that we're finally back home and have some free time, we have to get together and have a good get-together!

They have so much to talk about, they probably wouldn't finish in a day!

It's alright, we're all in the same residence, so it's very free and convenient. Whenever we get bored, we can just call them over, it's not a big deal!

Su Nanxi's purpose in bringing the mother and daughter here was not to interrogate them or to test them. In her words, she genuinely wanted to have a chat!

Of course, she wasn't entirely kind-hearted; she just wanted to see how the mother and daughter would react, which was quite satisfying!

She was very busy after returning to the manor, and her concubines and other women were not allowed to approach her directly. They were all required to stay in their own courtyards.

The Marquis of Anping and his wife, along with the old lady and their three sons, surrounded Su Nanxi, so much so that they couldn't even get close enough to her. They wouldn't let anyone else get close!

Everyone who is not important, step aside!

When she had a little free time, she would start chatting with people. If anyone in the manor was summoned and acted arrogantly or gave her a hard time, there was no need to ask any further questions; punishment would come quickly.

She deliberately called the mother and daughter last, and seeing their suffering made her feel quite relieved.

"It's nothing! I've missed you all so much since we last met. I haven't had a chance to come back, but now that I do, I couldn't help but think of you all, so I had someone invite you over for a get-together! Father won't let me wander around, so I had to have someone call you over. I hope you don't mind?"

Su Nanxi tried her best to speak in the way the original owner of the body, based on her memory. However, she found that she was not cut out for it and could not learn it at all!

The original owner spoke sweetly and softly, with a hint of coquettish elegance in her voice, which didn't sound pretentious at all. But Su Nanxi couldn't do that. She could pretend to be sweet all day, but she couldn't keep it up for long!

I feel so self-conscious, like I'm being overly dramatic, like I'm turning into a hypocrite, and I feel really uncomfortable!

Sure enough, anything that doesn't suit you is unpleasant!

She simply went her own way, which was neither as gentle as the original owner's nor as sharp as her own; it was a compromise.

However, she was quite willing to put on an act in front of this mother and daughter, well, not for any other reason than that she found it quite interesting!

The mother and daughter exchanged a glance, both seeing suspicion in each other's eyes. Neither of them believed that Su Nanxi had simply invited them to chat!

The atmosphere is completely different!

They could clearly sense that Su Nanxi was different, but they couldn't find any flaws to prove that Su Nanxi was an imposter.

Su Nanxi gently lifted her eyes to look at the mother and daughter. Seeing that they were so close, communicating with their eyes instead of speaking, she smiled.

Guess, guess, guess what she's thinking, and you'll win a prize!

Su Nanxi invited them to sit down and personally poured tea. Then she had various snacks and pastries served, making it seem as if she had invited them over for a casual chat.

The mother and daughter were forced to stop exchanging glances and, at Su Nanxi's enthusiastic invitation, sat down, but did not dare to touch the food on the table.

They were full of suspicion, knowing that Su Nanxi wouldn't do anything to them openly, but they just didn't dare to try!

In the past, they could have easily enjoyed those snacks and the like. As long as they wanted them and asked, Geng Yuepeng would naturally take care of it and fulfill their requests, no matter how difficult it was!

So they used to eat a lot of delicious food, and they've tried all sorts of high-end dishes!

But ever since Geng Yuepeng went crazy, his attitude towards them has deteriorated day by day, and he has always lost contact with them. They have lost their convenience, so they haven't been able to eat top-notch delicacies for a long time!

Seeing those pastries and smelling them so delicious, it wasn't that I didn't want to eat them, but I didn't dare to touch them!

Su Nanxi treated them as warmly as ever, sparing no expense on any good food. However, the Su Nanxi of today felt somewhat unfamiliar to them!

"There are no outsiders here, just family. Don't be shy, take whatever you want to eat. Why are you being so polite with me? These are all your favorites, and they're hard to find outside! Come and try them! Why have you become so distant with me after not seeing me for a while? Did I do something wrong?"

Seeing that the two were just sitting there without eating, Su Nanxi kept urging them to eat and chat at the same time.

But precisely because of this, the mother and daughter found Su Nanxi even more suspicious and dared not eat her casually.

Luo Xiaoniang was the first to politely decline, "Miss, I am but a concubine of low status. It is not proper for me to sit with you, let alone eat with you! If anyone sees us, we will surely be punished! We appreciate your kindness, Miss, and thank you very much! We are happy to accompany you on whatever you wish to discuss!"

Seeing her mother so meek and submissive, Su Mingyue felt very unhappy. She blamed her mother for being so humble, and then blamed Su Nanxi, thinking, "Is this on purpose?"

I was right, they just wanted to embarrass them!

He seemed to be doing everything perfectly, but she just couldn't stand looking at him!

Su Mingyue really wanted to slap Su Nanxi twice. Su Nanxi was smiling so brightly, she seemed to be glowing, which made her look dull and lifeless!

That's what she hates most; whenever she's with Su Nanxi, she's always just an extra!

No matter how well she does, people will never notice her immediately!

This made her very unhappy!

However, she dares to think about it but not to do it, and now she can only endure it.

After struggling with her thoughts, she followed Luo Xiaoniang's example and declined Su Nanxi's offer. She really wanted to say, "Who knows if there's poison in the heart?"

Su Nanxi wasn't upset when they refused. She simply asked, "Wasn't this how we always were? Whenever I had something delicious or fun, you were all envious and wanted it too. I would bring it to you, and you would happily accept it. Why can't it be like this now? Is it because we haven't seen each other for too long and you've grown distant?"

I'm afraid not.

I guess they're worried she might poison or drug them!

Sigh! She really didn't plan to do anything this time; everything was clean and non-toxic!

Look how badly you think of her!

Her bad side is yet to come, not now!

When the mother and daughter heard Su Nanxi mention the past, their expressions changed instantly, not for any other reason than that Su Nanxi had indeed done just that in the past.

That also suggests that the person in front of them is very likely the one they want to kill day and night!

How could they not be afraid and worried?

The alarm bells in my heart rang instantly!

Su Nanxi, however, acted as if nothing had happened, her face innocent and pure, blinking her beautiful big eyes as she looked at them innocently.

This was originally an endearing appearance, but in the eyes of that mother and daughter, it became a terrifying monster!

"Miss, I suddenly feel unwell. May I leave now?"

"I'll go back with my mother!"
