Chapter 579: Ah, it's just a green tea
Su Nuan stepped over the threshold and stood at the door, where she saw the old lady and mother-in-law sitting in the main room.
They sat side by side, with a young girl in a goose yellow dress sitting below them.
Although she had changed her clothes, Su Nuan still recognized her at a glance. This was the person who was on par with Ling Cang.
She has delicate facial features. She looks heroic when she is not smiling, and sweet when she smiles. This contrast gives people a great visual impact.
Su Nuan suddenly understood that there was a reason why such a woman was popular among soldiers, because she gave people the feeling that she could kill the enemy on horseback and play the piano on foot. Who wouldn't want such a woman?
Men are arrogant creatures. They want a strong partner to share responsibilities, but they also want a gentle and affectionate woman to add to their charm.
Su Nuan knew that women who could do these two things were rare, and Bai Tong was one of them.
Of course, Su Nuan didn’t think she was bad either. She stood quietly at the door, waiting for their reaction.
I don’t know what the three of them were talking about. They had deep smiles on their faces, but they froze when they saw Su Nuan.
Su Nuan ignored the silence and bowed with a smile, "Greetings, Grandmother and Mother-in-law."
Such a distant address made the old lady and Mrs. Xue look at each other. They didn't know what had happened to make Su Nuan suddenly become cold.
When Ling Yun walked into the house, the old lady and Mrs. Xue looked at him with eyes as sharp as knives. They thought that Ling Yun must have been naughty and offended Su Nuan.
The looks of the two elders frightened Ling Yun so much that he took a step back. He felt panicked but couldn't find the reason, so he could only remain silent.
The woman sitting at the bottom slowly stood up and said with a smile, "This is my sister, right? Grandma, please let me get out of the way. Bending your knees like this will be tiring."
These words sounded like she was pleading for Su Nuan, but in fact, she was showing off her face in front of Su Nuan so that the old lady would listen to her.
Hearing this, Su Nuan raised the corner of her lips into a smile that was not a smile.
Instead of standing up straight, she behaved even more politely, with her knees bent perfectly and her skirt not moving at all.
Su Nuan smiled slightly, "Thank you for your consideration, Miss. This is the rule of our Ling Mansion. When a daughter-in-law meets an elder, she needs to perform the formalities for a full cup of tea."
As he spoke, he looked up at the old lady with a sly glint in his eyes, "Grandma, is that right?"
The old lady put the teacup in her hand on the table. She wanted to agree with Su Nuan, but she really couldn't bear to see Su Nuan suffer.
"What Miss Nuan said is right. This Miss Bai is a guest and doesn't know the rules of our family."
Her words clearly defined the host and guest, and reminded the white girl to be careful.
Then the old lady said distressedly: "My granddaughter-in-law is the most important gift. I have said many times that as a family, we should just be casual and there is no need to be so formal."
Mrs. Xue also felt sorry for Su Nuan who had been bending her knees, and hurriedly said, "Yes, you are always so pitiful. Hurry up and sit next to me."
"Miss Bai has never been taught the etiquette of a noble lady. She doesn't understand. Please don't mind, Nuannuan."
The white girl next to her was worthy of her name, because her face was as white as paper.
A quarter of an hour of courtesy? Are you sure you're not mistreating your wife?
She bit her lip and didn't calm down after being reminded by the two. Instead, she said aggrievedly, "Just now you told me to treat this place as my home and you will treat me like your own daughter."
"Now that my sister is here, you're driving me out. Are you afraid that she'll be angry?"
"I see that my sister is so gentle, she's definitely not the kind of person who can't tolerate others."
Su Nuan walked to Xue's side and sat down gracefully, as dignified and elegant as a blooming peony.
The sharp voice of the space spirit appeared in her mind, "Ah, damn green tea."
Bai Tong lowered her eyes, her pretty face full of grievance. She thought Su Nuan was a shrew with no talent or looks, and wanted to take the opportunity to suppress Su Nuan, but she didn't expect to be outmaneuvered.
This Su Nuan is not only beautiful, but also has very standard etiquette. I end up being outdone by her, and I feel so unwilling to accept it.
At this moment, Ling Cang also walked in from outside.
Ling Yun suddenly retreated to the corner, reducing his presence to avoid being involved in the women's war.
Ling Cang didn't know what was going on. He couldn't help but frown when he saw Bai Tong's aggrieved look that seemed to be about to cry.
He asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Bai Tong tried hard to force a smile, and said in a trembling voice, "Please don't blame me, it's all my fault. I made me unhappy."
Ling Cang looked at Su Nuan suspiciously.
Su Nuan sat upright on the chair with an elegant posture and a smile on her face.
It is not difficult to see that she has dressed up today. Although she is not wearing any makeup, she is more beautiful than a peony.
Su Nuan doesn’t dress up on weekdays. Is today a special day?
Oh, by the way, mother said she wanted to celebrate Su Nuan’s birthday, so she must have dressed like this.
Thinking of this, Ling Cang smiled, "You look really good today."
Su Nuan blushed when she heard this, and her heart skipped a beat.
But if you look closely at Ling Cang's eyes, you can see that he doesn't have any admiration in his eyes. His praise is just a casual remark, as if he saw a flower or a beautiful decoration.
Ling Yun also secretly looked at Su Nuan. She was indeed very beautiful today, but she was more pleasing to the eye at other times. Now Su Nuan was like ice that was impossible to approach, making people afraid to get close to her.
The old lady didn't smile, but said with a stern face: "This Miss Bai is your guest, you can take her away."
Mrs. Xue also said angrily, "She came up to you and complained that Nuannuan bullied her. You should take her out."
Ling Cang was just a rough guy, and he didn't realize that Bai Tong's words just now were blaming Su Nuan.
He was confused at the moment and asked, "What are you blaming Nuannuan for?"
Bai Tong bit her lip and hurriedly explained, "No, I don't mean to blame my sister. I'm just afraid that the city lord will misunderstand my sister."
Su Nuan smiled slightly and stood up. "My husband asked you what happened, and you told him not to blame me. Isn't that telling him that I bullied you?"
Ling Cang suddenly realized that he had forgotten what he was asking when he saw Su Nuan just now, because he didn't care about Bai Tong at all.
Su Nuan eased the atmosphere and said with a smile, "Since you are a guest, how could you not stay for dinner? It's almost noon, we can't lose our hospitality."
Bai Tong's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "Lord City Lord, I can cook too. Why don't I cook two dishes for everyone to try?"
I can’t compare with you in looks or manners, and you’re definitely no match for me when it comes to cooking, right?
She gave Su Nuan a provocative look.
Su Nuan was laughing so hard that she burst out laughing. Suddenly, she didn't find Bai Tong annoying anymore, because she was like a self-deprecating happy person who could make her happy.
Ling Cang looked at Su Nuan, "Nuan Nuan, what do you think? You are responsible for all the big and small things at home."
To put it bluntly, this means "You are responsible for all matters big and small at home, and you make the decisions."
Su Nuan's eyes flashed. Ling Cang was a bit sinister. He pretended to be rough on the surface, but was actually very meticulous.
Every word he said was like a needle piercing Bai Tong's heart, not fatal but painful.
