Chapter 410: Xu Xuan hosts the family reunion banquet, Xiao Ying receives a letter from the Marquis of Zhenyuan
With the previous preparation, this matter seemed very normal, and even Xu Xuan did not show any surprise.
Rich and powerful families attach great importance to face, so the matter of recognizing a legitimate daughter will definitely be announced publicly.
Besides, Xiao Ying was a first-rank Lady Anguo after all, so this was a good opportunity for her to show her face in front of noble ladies.
"Then I'll trouble you, mother."
Xiao Ying also agreed. This was Ning Leshu's intention and he couldn't refuse.
Xu Xuan immediately said sincerely, "Mother, why don't you let your daughter-in-law handle this matter? It can be considered as a token of my gratitude to my elder sister."
Ning Leshu glanced at her, thought for a moment, and then said, "Since you have this intention, then I'll leave it to you."
"But I'm going to be frank with you. If you don't do it well, don't blame me for not giving you face when the time comes."
Xu Xuan was secretly happy, but she swore to herself confidently.
"It's my honor that Mother and Eldest Sister trust me. I will not let you down."
"Yeah." Ning Leshu nodded slightly, and then said, "But time is a bit urgent, I'm afraid you will be too tired alone."
"Well, second daughter-in-law, if you help your eldest sister-in-law, it will be considered as your best effort for your eldest sister."
Xu Xuan's face darkened slightly. The old woman really didn't trust her.
But Tan is simple-minded and should be easy to fool.
Tan Yunshi was suddenly called and stood up immediately.
"Yes, mother, your daughter-in-law will definitely help your sister-in-law and not let her work too hard."
She suppressed the joy in her eyes, understood Ning Leshu's meaning, and secretly decided to perform well this time.
Finally, Ning Leshu sent his trusted confidant, Madam Zhao, to supervise and report to her at any time if anything happened.
Xu Xuan became even more annoyed. The old woman was really wary of her.
This is how the matter was settled.
Ning Leshu took Xiao Ying and others and left first, going to the Pear Blossom Garden prepared by Xu Xuan.
Pear Blossom Garden is the largest courtyard in the Marquis's mansion used for entertaining guests, and it is right next to Ning Leshu's residence.
Even so, there was no room for all the people Xiao Ying brought.
Xiao Ying only asked Kang Ruolan and a few others to serve him, and the rest were arranged to stay in another guest house.
"Would you blame Mother for handing this matter over to Xu?"
In the yard, Ning Leshu pulled Xiao Ying to sit in the pavilion and asked with some uneasiness.
Xiao Ying smiled and said, "Of course not. I know what mother means. She wants to take this opportunity to test her."
"If she really has a problem, she will definitely take this opportunity to reveal it."
Ning Leshu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, his eyes full of approval.
"Sure enough, Yingying still understands my mother's heart."
"I've never liked this eldest daughter-in-law. I think she's arrogant and cunning."
"Just look at Zijing and you'll know what she's done to that good girl."
"The second daughter-in-law is quite good. She has a simple personality and doesn't like intrigue, so I am often bullied by her."
Xiao Ying nodded in agreement, and the image of Tan Yunshi's performance came to his mind, and he couldn't help laughing.
"He is indeed a simple-minded person."
Everything is shown on his face, no wonder he was bullied by Xu Xuan.
At this moment, Nanny Zhao suddenly came forward with a respectful look.
"Madam, this is a letter from the Marquis."
"It has been sent home for more than ten days, but because you are not at home, it has been put aside until now."
Ning Leshu was immediately delighted: "Oh? The old man actually still remembered to write to me. The sun has risen from the west?"
Ever since the war broke out in the north, Marquis Zhenyuan has never written to her again.
Although she missed him very much, she also knew the priorities of things, so she could only wait.
She quickly opened the letter and read it carefully as if no one was around.
The letter was very thick, about four or five pages.
At this moment, Ning Leshu seemed to have transformed into a young person, with her expression constantly changing, and she didn't look like the mistress of the house at all.
Xiao Ying smiled secretly, it seemed that these two had a good relationship.
After reading it in one breath, Ning Leshu's brows relaxed and he handed the last page of the letter to Xiao Ying.
"This is something your father wrote specially for you."
"He already knows what happened back then, and he also knows how much you've grown over the past two years. He's been praising you like a flower."
Xiao Ying took it curiously. Her cheap father actually wrote it specifically for her? Wasn't he worried that it wouldn't fall into her hands?
She calmed down and looked at it, and found that it was indeed written specifically for her.
Han Ce not only knew what happened that year, but also apologized to her and asked about her well-being.
I blame myself for not being able to accompany her all these years, and blame myself for causing her so much pain and suffering.
Hearing about her changes in the past two years, I feel happy and proud of her.
And I hope to meet her and recognize her as soon as possible.
Finally, I hope she can return to her ancestral home, return to the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, and become the real daughter of the marquis.
Xiao Ying's emotions didn't fluctuate much. This was the normal reaction of an ordinary father.
We will only know what Zhenyuan Hou really thinks when we meet him in the future.
That night, Xiao Ying and his family stayed temporarily in the Marquis' Mansion.
She knew that Ning Leshu and her two aunts had already prepared a house for her in advance, and it was not far from their homes.
But at least they have to wait until after the family recognition banquet before they can move there.
At night, she did not bring the children into the Immortal Palace to practice.
Because she had to go to the palace to receive the reward early tomorrow morning, she needed to get up early.
So Chen Xingyun and the other two girls squeezed into one bed and chattered all night long.
Everything revolves around the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, and Xu Xuan's family is the top priority.
"That Han Zijing is too stupid to provoke me in this way. She should be taught a lesson."
Chen Xingyue smiled contemptuously when she said this.
Do you really think they are those fragile little girls? This time they will learn their lesson.
Chen Xingyun said, "If we weren't cultivators, she would have really succeeded this time."
"She's very strong. An ordinary girl would definitely be knocked to the ground by her."
"Not only will you get hurt, but you'll also be disrespectful and bring shame to Mother and Grandma."
"So she's not stupid at all. She's been plotting against us for a long time, but she just hasn't figured out our strength yet."
Meng Qingying also nodded in agreement: "I think she is very scheming. Who knows, she might cause trouble in the future."
"And Han Ziming, he has no secret of his hatred for us, so we have to be more careful with him."
The three of them analyzed almost everyone in the two branches of the Han family.
In the end, not only was I not afraid, but I was aroused by the desire to win and became curious about what these people would do next time.
Similarly, Xu Xuan's family also gathered together.
However, except for Han Ziyang, the others all had gloomy expressions, and their hatred almost became tangible.
"I, Han Zijing, will remember this grudge. Mother, sooner or later, I will repay you a thousandfold!"
Xu Xuan was not so impulsive. She stared at her injured arm and clenched her fists.
"Have you ever wondered why she is so strong?"
Han Zijing was stunned for a moment, then showed a bit of fear.
"Mom, what do you mean..."
Han Ziyang calmly replied, "It's obvious that Chen Xingyun is also a cultivator."
"Not only her, I suspect the others are also monks."
"Don't provoke them anymore, we are no match for them."
Unexpectedly, Han Ziming sneered and made sarcastic remarks on the spot.
"Brother, I think you're becoming more and more cowardly. Big sister has been bullied like this, and you still want to be a coward?"
"So what if I'm a monk? I will definitely avenge my elder sister and make that bitch kneel down and apologize!"
