Chapter 48 He is so short of a daughter



Several eyes fell on Sheng Pingbo.

Su Juan said in a humble and gentle tone, "It is cold. I think it will snow in two days."

Sheng Pingbo's narrowed eyes flashed with a cunning light, "I've heard my wife often mention you before, saying that you are smart, clever, and filial."

Su Juan was surprised, "Countess?"

Sheng Pingbo: “Yes.”

Su Juan said shyly: "Thank you for your praise, Madam. I'd like to ask you to thank me on her behalf."

Sheng Pingbo smiled, "Okay, okay."

Liu Xuan on the side glanced at his father. Why had he never heard his mother mention Su Juan?

Among the people present, only Xie Xun saw through Sheng Pingbo's plan. Tsk, the abacus beads were about to hit him in the face.

This was something Su Juan had not expected. [I didn't expect Liu Xuan's mother to know me? ]

As far as she could remember, she had only seen him once, at Princess Jing's birthday party.

Thinking of this, she suddenly realized, "I understand. It must be the birthday banquet that day. Song Qianfan left a deep impression on Countess Shengping. When she returned home, she must have mentioned it a few words, right?"

[I am taking advantage of Song Qianfan. ]

Earl Sheng Ping cleared his throat. His wife was not talking about these things. She was looking for a wife for her son and kept talking about Su Juan.

Previously, he thought that the lady was over-praising the daughter-in-law of Prince Jing, but now it seems that he was just superficial.

But it doesn’t matter if I can’t become a daughter-in-law, there are always some roundabout ways!

As they were almost at the palace gate, Sheng Pingbo suddenly sighed, "It's a pity that my wife and I don't have a daughter. It would be great if we could have a daughter like you."

His expression was melancholy and regretful, which made Su Juan feel embarrassed. "Sir, you are too kind."

Duke Ping liked to hear people praise Su Juan, and smiled, "Old Liu, I'm not saying that your two daughters combined are not as good as Little Su."

[Ahem, it’s over, it’s over. If you keep praising me, I won’t be able to hold my face.]

Xie Xun shook his head. This father probably didn't even know what Marquis Sheng Ping was thinking, yet he was still helping him.

"How can my two daughters compare to Xiao Su..." Sheng Pingbo laughed, "Xiao Su, come to my Earl's Mansion often in the future. I have many rare things in my mansion, you can pick whatever you want!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes were on Sheng Pingbo. How come this usually stingy old man suddenly became so generous and was willing to pick whatever he wanted?

[The sun rises from the west today? ]

Su Juan was puzzled and her eyes became suspicious. She always felt that Sheng Pingbo seemed to have some plan for her.

But what do I have that Sheng Pingbo wants?

When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong. It is better to be cautious.

She smiled and declined, "I appreciate your kindness, sir, but it's inappropriate."

[After all, everyone in Beijing knows that Lord Shengping is stingy. ]

Sheng Pingbo was not embarrassed at all. He waved his hand with a generous look on his face, "If you feel embarrassed, why don't you become a half-daughter of my Earl's Mansion, and then you can be my home and come here often. There is nothing inappropriate."

Su Juan was confused: "Huh?"

[Does he need a daughter so badly? ]

As soon as these words came out, Duke Ping was the first to be unhappy, and he yelled at Sheng Pingbo, "You old man are so unkind!"

Sheng Pingbo's face was thicker than ever at this moment. "Old Xie, it doesn't matter whose daughter this is. I think Xiao Su wouldn't mind having an extra parent..."

[I don’t mind it too much. After all, who would complain about having too many rich and powerful parents? ]

Duke Ping was firm in his attitude: "Xiao Su is from my Xie family, don't dream like a fool!"

[Wow, Duke Ping treats me like one of his own, I’m touched! ]

Sheng Pingbo: "Old Xie, why are you so selfish? At least ask Xiao Su and let her decide for herself..."

[There should be a lot of good things in the Earl's Mansion...Alas, who would complain about having too much money? ]

Duke Ping: "You are talking bullshit! You have two daughters and two sons, and now you are trying to snatch them from me. Do you have any shame? You are still a great earl! Bah!"

[That's true. Earl Sheng Ping already has four sons and daughters. How can I get any good things? ]

Seeing that the two were about to fight, Su Juan was shocked, [So I am so popular and loved? ]

[Wow! Fight, fight! ]

Xie Xun: “…”

Liu Xuan saw the look of watching a show from Su Juan's face: "......"

Su Juan was reluctant to leave here. After all, here, there were people who loved and cared for her, people who supported her, and she had a job. The most important thing was that the salary was not small, and she didn't have to work overtime. She had a week off for two years, and she had 15 days of annual leave...

My God, doesn’t it smell good here?

Of course, if Song Qianfan does not ascend the throne.

Liu Xuan stood there, watching the two people fighting. He had a puzzled look in his eyes. He didn't think that his father really wanted to adopt Su Juan as his adopted daughter, but the two people were definitely fighting.

Xie Xun looked at Liu Xuan, feeling sorry for this idiot who couldn't hear what Su Juan was thinking. He didn't know how much fun he had lost in this life.

But he suddenly came to his senses and wondered: Why couldn't Liu Xuan hear it?

If one is related by blood or has a distinguished family background, one can hear what Su Juan is thinking, but Liu Xuan is the eldest son of the Earl of Shengping and will inherit the title in the future. Isn't his status distinguished enough?

After all, even Wu Ziyu could hear it.

Suddenly, Duke Ping roared, interrupting Xie Xun's thoughts, "You old thing, you just want that warm dress, I'll give it to you!"

When Sheng Pingbo heard this, he smiled and said, "If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have argued with you."

Having four kids at home is enough of a hassle on a daily basis, and he doesn't necessarily want to suffer.

Liu Xuan was silent. It turned out to be a treasure for keeping warm. It should be the one in His Majesty's hand just now.

Su Juan's heart sank. [Alas, I thought that the couple of Sheng Pingbo really liked me, but it turns out that they just wanted to keep me warm. It was all a trick and calculation.]

Su Juan shook her head, [Disappointment, true disappointment never comes from making a big fuss...]

At this time, Marquis Sheng Ping had obtained a good thing, so he didn't care what Su Juan thought. The smile on his face was almost reaching his forehead, and he couldn't wait to take off the piece of clothing from Duke Pingguo.

Duke Ping snorted twice, flicked his sleeves and turned around, "Xiao Su, come on, have dinner at my house, and don't have to interact with Lord Liu anymore!"

Su Juan immediately followed, [Duke Ping is really kind, he even gave up his warm clothes for me~]

When Sheng Pingbo saw the two running away, he immediately chased after them, "Old Xie! I will go back with you first, grab the things and leave!"

Now that I have this thing, it doesn't matter even if I don't have any contact with you in the future!

Duke Ping said disdainfully: "Go away! Stop following us. I will have someone send it to your house later..."

Sheng Pingbo: "No, that won't do! I want it now!" Who knows if this old guy will go back on his word.

The three of them left, leaving Xie Xun and Liu Xuan alone there. They looked at each other and even doubted whether they were biological children.

But Xie Xun felt that Liu Xuan was more miserable. After all, he couldn't hear anything and was now standing here stupidly. He probably didn't even know why his father, Lord Liu, didn't want him as his own son.

Just when Xie Xun was thinking about whether to comfort Liu Xuan, he saw Liu Xuan's sympathetic eyes, patting Xie Xun on the shoulder, "I think the Duke thinks his daughter is more considerate, not that he doesn't care about you, don't be sad."

Xie Xun: “???”

At least I am outdone by others, but in your father's eyes, you are not even as good as a piece of clothing!

Who are you comforting!
