Su Chengxun, in his thirties, was dressed in a blue Suzhou embroidered brocade robe, elegant and steady. Beside him was his third wife, Lady Hai, gentle and dignified.
"Qingyu is already this big? If she were to walk down the street, Third Uncle wouldn't even recognize her."
Hai also said, "The last time I saw Qingyu was four years ago. She has become more and more beautiful."
Su Qingyu smiled brightly at Su Chengxun and his wife. "Third Uncle and Third Aunt haven't changed much. I think Third Uncle has become more dignified, and Third Aunt looks younger than before. They say that Jiangnan nourishes people, and it's really true."
Hai was a little surprised. Su Qingyu had never been so close to them before. Then she thought, after all, they were blood relatives. Perhaps the girl had grown up and was more polite and sensible than before.
"Sister-in-law, you have taught this child so well. Not only does he have a first-class appearance and demeanor, but his little mouth is as white as honey." Hai said with a smile, holding Lin's hand.
Then she pulled twelve-year-old Su Zhilan and fourteen-year-old Su Yuanyi forward. "You two, quickly bow to your sister."
Su Qingyu looked at Su Zhilan and thought to herself that this child was a true lady from a noble family. Unlike Su Yihui, who always deliberately acted pretentious, Su Zhilan's every move exuded elegance and grace. At only twelve, she was already a beauty in her element.

"Uncle San, sister-in-law, let's go to Songhe Hall now to pay our respects to mother." Lin stepped forward and said.
Hai's gentle face subconsciously stiffened a little.
She still remembered why Su Chengxun was sent out. If it weren't for the transfer order from Lord Chen, which was difficult to refuse, she wouldn't have wanted to return to the capital.
Lin knew what Hai was thinking and whispered beside her, "Don't worry too much, sister-in-law. If mother-in-law makes any more unreasonable demands, just tell me."
Hai, born into a noble family, was always afraid of being labeled unfilial. But Lin, now that she had come this far, was no longer afraid of anything.
