Lord Li still felt proud that his beautiful concubine was being stared at like this, so he didn't care about Su Juan's uninvited visit.
He brought his beautiful concubine and took his little son from the nurse, laughing loudly, "Thank you all for giving me this honor. You don't have to be polite. Eat and drink well. If you need anything, just tell the servants in the mansion. Please forgive me for any inadequacy of our hospitality."
Su Juan's eyes suddenly lit up, [Okay! ]
Everyone: “?”
Xie Xun turned his head and looked at Su Juan, "?"
[Two more bowls of pork elbows, and a pot of good wine! ]
Lord Li: “….”
[The chef at the Li Mansion is pretty good. This pork elbow is really good. It would be even better if I could bring some back.]
Lord Li's face turned green. I told you not to be polite, but if I didn't tell you to be rude, you would be impolite!
Some people almost laughed out loud. Lord Li was just being polite, but the official was really rude.
Some smart people have already started observing which table's pork elbows are eaten the fastest, and Su Juan specifically went to that table.
In fact, Su Juan was the only one at the table who moved her elbow.
Xie Xun held his forehead with his hand. He had never seen a servant eat more than the master at the table.
After looking around, they couldn't find where Su Juan was, so they had to give up.
After the guests had eaten and drunk well, Lord Li held the child and placed him in a place that had been prepared in advance. He placed many things on the place, including the four treasures of the study, an abacus, and many other valuable items, for the child's one-year-old celebration.
Su Juan also went over to watch the fun, only to see that the child could not move further after crawling two steps amid the noise, and he did not catch anything.
Su Juan narrowed her eyes, [It seems that this child doesn't like these things. ]
Lord Li became anxious, walked over, and carried his son back to the middle position.
Just as he was about to stand up, everyone exclaimed in surprise. They saw the baby's little hand grabbing Lord Li's sleeve and giggling.
"Master Li, your son has caught you!"
Lord Li was also stunned, then burst into laughter. After all, he was his son and had good vision. These things on the ground were not worth their weight in gold for a father like him!
"Your son has good vision. I think he will be a promising man in the future."
"I will definitely be filial from now on."
Amid the flattery of the guests, Lord Li picked up his son, his face beaming with joy. He became even more fond of the beautiful concubine beside him and hugged her tightly.
The beautiful concubine, despite the angry glare of the main wife, snuggled in her husband's arms and smiled reservedly.
Madam Li was almost going crazy with anger, but her husband, who was so affectionate towards his concubine and loving his son to his father, did not even consider her position as the legal wife!
Su Juan looked at the scene in front of her and sighed, "What a happy family of three."
Madam Li and several young ladies and gentlemen looked even uglier immediately.
[Why did you catch an old man when you could catch anything else? ]
[It seems that this little brat will have no future. ]
Some people almost laughed out loud. This gentleman should not be too honest.
Lord Li's face turned black and he was so angry that he wanted to drag Su Juan out and throw her out.
I didn't send her any invitation at all. She's just a little girl, but she's so shameless!
Mrs. Li and the others laughed: This girl is good at talking, she needs to say more.
Xie Xun suddenly felt that he should not go out today, and he should not bring Su Juan with him.
Looking at Lord Li's face, it seems to change every moment. I really don't know how Su Juan can survive the court session on weekdays. The person she offended has a lot of words to say.
He looked around and began to consider which direction he could run faster from if a fight broke out.
Just then, there was a noisy sound outside, and three people rushed in, making a fuss, and the servants couldn't stop them.
Su Juan raised her eyebrows, [The show is about to begin. ]
Good show! ?
Everyone looked curiously and saw a couple with a boy who looked about 17 or 18 years old standing at the entrance of the flower hall. They stood there for a while, as if looking for someone. When their eyes fell on the beautiful concubine beside Lord Li, they cried out, "Ruru! Daddy and Mommy have found you!"
Xie Xun was surprised that the people Shen Ruhui had brought were actually the parents and younger brother of this beautiful concubine.
The concubine had never expected to see her parents coming to visit her. She looked surprised and exclaimed, "Why are you here?!"
Lord Li frowned. When Judge Wu sent the person here, he did not say that Runiang had parents. Now it seems that she even has a younger brother.
Everyone was puzzled by his reaction. It seemed that Lord Li had never met the parents of his concubine, so how did he take her in?
Su Juan watched the drama in front of her with great interest. [It seems that Li Hutu really didn't know that his concubine had family members. This concubine was also confused.]
The couple came up and grabbed the concubine, crying for a long time. The young man complained, "Sister, we went to Wu Tongpan's house but couldn't find you. They said you were dead, but my parents didn't believe it. We searched all the way here and finally found you."
[Wow, you actually said someone was dead, that's interesting.]
The couple's gaze fell on Lord Li and their eyes lit up. Could it be that he was the high-ranking official their daughter had just hooked up with?
"Ruru, aren't you at Lord Wu's residence? Why are you here...what is this?"
When he heard these people mention Wu Tongpan, Lord Li's expression suddenly changed, and his voice was threatening, "Runiang, who are these people?"
[Listen, everyone! This is a threat! ]
Everyone: I heard it, I heard it! Don’t interrupt!
Lord Li looked unhappy, knowing that the appearance of this Su must be no good.
The concubine looked a little unhappy, and she remembered what Judge Wu had said to her, and immediately shook her head, "Sir, I don't know them."
[Wow, just now I asked him why he came, but now he doesn't recognize me. This is totally irrelevant. ]
When everyone heard this, they were puzzled and curious. He clearly acted as if he knew him just now, but now he said he didn't know him. There was inconsistency between what he said and what he said. There must be something fishy!
The young man's eyes darkened when he heard this. He glanced at the man next to his sister. Although he was older than Judge Wu, his clothes and attire seemed much better than Judge Wu's. Just by looking at his mansion and the table, it was clear that he must be a high-ranking official.
It seems that this sister has climbed up the social ladder and wants to get rid of these burdens.
The couple looked at their daughter with resentment. They were the ones who helped their daughter enter the Wu Mansion that day, but she hadn't gained any benefits yet. But now their daughter had hooked up with a high-ranking official in the capital and wanted to dump them as her parents. But it was really unreasonable!
Even if I don't acknowledge this daughter today, I have to ask for some money back!
"Your Excellency doesn't know that we are her parents..."
But before the couple could finish their words, they were interrupted by Lord Li, who called over the people in a stern voice, "What are you all standing there for! Didn't you hear Aunt Ru say she didn't know her? Why don't you kick her out right away!"
[Ha! Li Hutu is so angry that he wants to chase people away! ]
Everyone: I saw it, I saw it!
