Wei Tongrui looked at Mo Sang in disbelief. This usually delicate and frail person was actually speaking to her like this today, even though she was an elder.
She turned and glared angrily at Su Luo and Yi Huan. It was because of these two women that Mo Sang dared to treat her like this.
Wei Tongrui nodded, and through her covered mouth, she uttered a few indistinct words: "I won't say anymore, I won't say anymore!"
But her fierce, scarlet eyes showed no intention of letting Su Luo off the hook.
Su Luo smiled wickedly, looking at her with a calm yet disdainful gaze, which infuriated Wei Tongrui.
"Huanhuan, what do you want to eat? Mom will get you some!"
The more Wei Tongrui tried to stop her from eating at the banquet, the more determined she became to eat in front of her.
"Mom, I'm not hungry, but that dish looks nice. Can you pick one for me to admire?"
The dish Yi Huan was pointing to was the one in the middle of Wei Tongrui's noodles.
Su Luo stood up and reached out to pick it up, slowly and leisurely, taking a long time to pick it up and place it on Yi Huan's plate.
"Mom, there's also that plate, the one in front is pretty good too."
Every dish was placed in front of Wei Tongrui.
Wei Tongrui was furious when she saw Su Luo's hand waving in front of her.
Picking up her chopsticks, whatever Su Luo picked up, she would use her chopsticks to scrape the food off Su Luo's chopsticks.
But how could she possibly be a match for Su Luo? Every time, Su Luo would cleverly pick up the food and put it into Yi Huan's bowl.
The two were like oil and water, and no one at the table dared to reach for food, only eating the small dishes in front of them.
Mo Sang was extremely anxious; she couldn't give all the dishes to Su Luo, nor could she not give them to her.
The bowls had become a battleground between Su Luo and her aunt.
Wei Tongrui didn't manage to get a single dish, so he angrily slammed down his chopsticks, stood up, and pointed at Su Luo's nose while cursing.
"Don't you have any manners? You've put so much food on your plate. Can your child finish it all? What are we supposed to eat?"
Su Luo sneered! "Heh, an old lady like you, still fighting with a child for food, aren't you ashamed?"
Or are you using my child's name to complain that Mrs. Mo's banquet didn't satisfy your hunger?
Su Luo's patience has its limits. She gave Fu Zhengqing face, but Mo Sang couldn't handle Wei Tongrui, so she decided to lose face for both families.
"I didn't say that, don't make false accusations."
The Wei Tongrui family is counting on Mo Sang and Fu Zhengqing, who are their closest relatives. If they are misled by Su Luo's words, that would be absolutely unacceptable.
"Since that's not what you think, why do you care whether my daughter and I eat a lot or a little? Aren't you just worried that there won't be enough food at Madam Mo's banquet?"
Su Luo then asked Mo Sang with a mocking tone, "Madam Mo, we can't eat too much at today's feast, can we?"
Mo Sang panicked upon hearing Su Luo's words. How could the dignified prefect of Lucheng not let his guests eat their fill at his banquet?
"No, Madam Su, you can eat as much as you want."
After saying that, Mo Sang immediately put all the dishes that Su Luo had just picked up in front of Su Luo.
"Yi Huan likes to eat, so these dishes are all for Yi Huan. Even if she doesn't eat them, it's nice to look at them."
“Sangsang, you…you…”
Wei Tongrui was furious. Did the wife of a prefect really need to fawn over a businessman? Had she forgotten how the Mo family had fallen on hard times and how Old Madam Mo had come to the Fu family to live out her days?
"Auntie, why don't you go in and keep my grandmother company? The banquet outside is cold. Go and see if my grandmother has eaten yet. Hurry up."
Seeing that Mo Sang was really angry, Wei Tongrui reluctantly moved the chair away.
After taking two steps, he stopped, turned around, walked behind Yi Huan, and said to Mo Sang.
“Sangsang, Madam Mo’s favorite thing is this old duck soup. Since none of you at the table are eating it, I’ll take it to Madam Mo.”
Before anyone could answer, Wei Tongrui had already reached his hands to the middle of the table and lifted the entire soup bowl.
The soup bowl was still steaming. When it passed over Yi Huan's head, Wei Tongrui's face turned cold. He slightly opened his hands and poured a bowl of hot soup over her.
Startled by the sight, Su Luo instantly pulled Yi Huan into her arms, and with a swift swing of her right forearm, knocked the soup bowl away, but her entire forearm sleeve was soaked in soup.
Fortunately, it was cold, so the soup wasn't too hot anymore, but Su Luo knew that her arm must be bright red.
"Oops, sorry, my hand slipped, haha..."
"Mother, are you alright?"
Su Luo made Yi Huan sit down, her eyes flashing with rage, and her whole body radiating murderous intent.
Wei Tongrui covered her mouth with a handkerchief and chuckled, but her laughter stopped abruptly when she saw Su Luo suddenly seem like a different person.
Gritting her teeth, Su Luo grabbed Wei Tongrui's shirt and slapped her twice with all her might, then kicked her out of the living room.
If that soup had been boiling, and if she hadn't been by Yi Huan's side, what would have happened? Wei Tongrui was trying to kill her child.
Su Luo had no intention of letting Wei Tongrui off so easily. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, a dagger fell from Su Luo's sleeve into her hand.
She walked briskly towards Wei Tongrui outside the reception room.
Mo Sang ran over and grabbed Su Luo, but she couldn't stop her at all.
Seeing this, everyone at the banquet stood up. Since they couldn't stop Su Luo, they could only protect Wei Tongrui.
"Stop, Madam Su! What are you doing?"
Fu Zhengqing also stood in front of Wei Tongrui, along with a middle-aged man who bore a slight resemblance to Fu Zhengqing.
"Zhengqing, save me! That woman wants to kill me and ruin Xiaobao's full moon celebration."
Wei Tongrui, the villain, accused Su Luo first, hiding behind the two men, and his fear of Su Luo disappeared.
"Hmph! I want to kill someone? Who exactly wants to kill someone?"
Su Luo held a dagger in her hand, and no one dared to approach her. She was in a fit of anger, and anyone who wasn't careful could get hurt.
Mo Sang ran to Fu Zhengqing's side and told him about the argument between Wei Tongrui and Su Luoqi.
Fu Yinghua glanced back at his wife. She was such a troublemaker. Knowing that today was a banquet for the Fu family, why was she still making a scene with the guests?
“Jiali’s father, why are you looking at me like that? I really slipped when I made that soup, it wasn’t intentional, but when that Su lady hit me, it was intentional.”
"Look, everyone, look! My cheeks are swollen on both sides, and she even tried to kill me with a knife."
After saying that, she grabbed Fu Zhengqing's arm and said, "Zhengqing, quickly get this person out of here. She has a knife, and it's hard to say who she might hurt."
Fu Zhengqing sighed. He knew his aunt's character very well; she liked to act on her own and then come to him to solve problems when they occurred.
"Madam Su, I'm sorry, my aunt didn't mean it. I apologize on her behalf. Your clothes are wet too, why don't you let my wife take you to change?"
Fu Zhengqing wanted to let it pass without asking Su Luo's opinion.
"Lord Fu, I came here sincerely to congratulate Xiaobao on his one-month celebration, but if I hadn't been quick, this bowl of soup would have landed on my daughter's head."
Getting burned is one thing, but being hit on the head with a soup bowl is another. She needs to give me an explanation today.
