Chapter 180: Family Dinner
On the day of returning home, Xie Xuan still did not ride a horse, but rode in the same carriage with her.
After what happened last night, the atmosphere between the two became even more subtle.
Su Shengsheng could feel that he was a little confused.
So, he would look at her with unfathomable eyes from time to time.
And Su Shengsheng could only pretend not to know.
Finally, they arrived at the Su Mansion. Many people had gathered in front of the door, knowing that Xie Xuan would take her home today, and had come to watch the fun.
And there are my grandfather and father.
This time, Cui Chong was very tactful. Without waiting for Xie Xuan to speak, he informed the men of the Su family last night that they did not need to go to work this morning.
Therefore, Su Ruilin, Su Yuanzheng, Su Wenxuan and Su Hengji were all there.
After today, Su Jingshan will also return to work.
Although his leg injury has not completely healed, he is afraid that he is being closely watched by people behind the scenes, so it is better to have less trouble than more.
Fortunately, he was doing clerical work and didn't need to move around.
The Su family dinner was still missing the fourth wife and Su Nianwei.
As soon as she entered the house, Su Shengsheng was pulled away by her mother.
Although her daughter was marrying a prince, Li felt really uncomfortable that she had to get married in such a hurry.
She took out a bundle from the cupboard and took out the embroidery she had been working on for a long time.
"Mom wasn't here on the wedding day, so I couldn't give you many things."
Li couldn't help but wipe her tears with a handkerchief.
"I know my daughter has plenty of money now, but as a mother, how could I not prepare some for you? Take these..."
Li was choking with sobs and could hardly speak.
The two sons-in-law whom he had been watching for so long were snatched away by a Shura prince who suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Even though Mrs. Li was worried about her daughter's situation, she was powerless to do anything in this situation.
Only by preparing a large dowry for my daughter can I prevent her from being looked down upon by some snobbish people.
"Okay, mother, our family is safe and sound now. This is the greatest happiness."
Su Shengsheng didn't miss her mother, the little crybaby, and she was worried about her.
At this time, Xie Xuan had already taken his seat in the main hall.
After a few brief greetings, no one knew what to say.
In the end, Brother Heng became the most conspicuous person in the whole room. He broke the silence in the hall and kept asking Xie Xuan questions.
Although Brother Heng asked a lot of questions, the Su family's impression of Xie Xuan changed a little after hearing these innocent words.
He seemed to be of no airs, and showed no dissatisfaction or impatience at the child's innocent questions.
Su Jingshan, who has always been worried about his daughter's almost forced marriage, is somewhat uneasy.
There were rumors that Xie Xuan was somewhat cruel, and he was really worried about his daughter, who could not get along with this bloody general on the battlefield.
"These are prepared for you by your eldest aunt and second aunt." Li took out another package.
To this day, the two families still owe Su Shengsheng six hundred taels of silver. As soon as they came back, they let the embroidery room continue to operate.
If it weren't for the many things going on at home, and if they hadn't been caught off guard by what happened with Old Master Su yesterday, they would have wanted to buy a shop as a dowry.
But time was too tight and they were unprepared and did not have time to purchase a store.
He could only reluctantly take out some money, thinking of letting Su Shengsheng marry to Chiyan City and buy her a house there.
"My eldest sister-in-law and fourth sister both need money, and my second aunt is not well off either. My daughter doesn't need these, so let them take them back."
Mrs. Li had anticipated her daughter's refusal. "Mother said the same thing. Your eldest and second aunts said you didn't accept it because you didn't consider them family members... The reason they didn't give it to you personally was in front of the prince. This little dowry is really not worth it..."
Su Shengsheng now understood why Xie Xuan was unwilling to take on the position of prince.
He believed that this was the royal family's contempt for his father and the tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians at the border.
And last night, he also warned him not to call him Prince anymore.
Su Shengsheng sighed and could only accept the silver.
He also reminded his mother that when she met Xie Xuan in the future, she should ask her family to call him General.
It seems that he only calls himself the King when he is really angry.
Li had no suspicion of any hidden agenda, so naturally, she had to consider her daughter in everything now, as long as they were well.
After the mother and daughter finished their conversation, they rushed to the main hall.
When Su Shengsheng arrived, she heard her father telling Xie Xuan about the Su family's treatment of the fourth branch and Su Nianwei, as if reporting to him.
In the eyes of the Su family literati who always reflect on themselves in everything, this human disaster was caused by their lax discipline.
Especially Su Deyong, who did such a despicable thing because they neglected to discipline him.
So, this time, without waiting for Su Shengsheng to make arrangements, they asked Bao Er to bring people to guard the courtyard of the two people.
First, they were afraid that these four people were feeling aggrieved, but due to the situation, if they indulged them easily, it would cause trouble.
Second,...
Now that Su Shengsheng is marrying Xie Xuan, the daughter of a criminal minister is already marrying up. If she is implicated by these four people, she is afraid that her daughter will be ridiculed.
"These four people are from the Su family. Grandfather and father-in-law will take care of how to deal with them." Xie Xuan did not ask any more questions.
However, his gaze still turned to Su Shengsheng who was walking aside.
Seeing him stand up naturally and lead Su Shengsheng to sit down, everyone's eyebrows moved.
Fortunately, with Brother Heng’s warm-up, the atmosphere quickly turned into a homely one.
Apart from the eldest sister-in-law who was in double confinement, Su Yuanling also didn't come this time.
Although Su Shengsheng was a little worried, she didn't ask too much.
I only heard my grandfather say, "The Su family is able to enjoy temporary peace this time, thanks to the help of the people. We didn't have time to invite the villagers to a banquet on the day of Sheng's wedding. Why not find a time to set up a few tables?"
As for finding a time, of course, I would ask Xie Xuan whether he wants to come and whether he is free.
Upon hearing this, Su Shengsheng's face turned bitter.
She wanted him to go to the camp earlier.
Xie Xuan's eyes swept across her face before he replied, "That day was a bit rushed. I wanted to invite some military officers' families, so it was just right to invite them on the same day."
Then, Su Shengsheng listened to her grandfather and Xie Xuan, and they decided the matter one by one.
I totally ignored her...
Well, now she is married and has to obey her husband, she has no choice.
While she was eating her food silently, Xie Xuan looked at her several times.
The people at the table were also looking at him quietly.
Why do I feel that Sheng girl has the upper hand?
After seeing this, Li couldn't help but feel happy.
This Shura King, who looked a bit scary, seemed to be quite nice to his daughter...
A return banquet ended quietly with the interaction of glances between the guests.
Su Shengsheng went to the teahouse on the way. Although Xie Xuan did not follow her this time, before she could be happy, she heard Xie Xuan say that he would come to pick her up before dinner.
Su Shengsheng watched in silence as Xie Xuan rode his horse to the camp.
Qing Ning Ningyu didn't dare to speak all the way. Only when she saw Mu Ze and Chu Zhao, her two generals, also left did she breathe a sigh of relief.
"Miss, I heard from Mu Ze that the general didn't have a mansion because he had always lived in the barracks. And this time he renovated the palace because Miss likes hot springs."
Qing Ning looked serious, completely unaware of how horrifying her words were.
Su Shengsheng: “…”
