Chapter 8: Like or not is King Xiao's business
Su Rongyan's face flushed with anger. Just as she was about to explode, she heard Su Wanyan say softly, "Father, when did our Su family become so unruly? How come this kind of thing of usurping someone else's power is so common?"
When Su Hongan saw his daughter, he couldn't help but think of the severe pain of having his arm removed yesterday. Hearing her sarcastic tone, he didn't want to give her a good face.
Su Wanyan continued with a smile, "First, the concubine is grabbing the wife's dowry and refusing to let go, and then the concubine's daughter is occupying the eldest sister's position and refusing to give it up. Tsk tsk tsk tsk, with such rules, you still dream of climbing up the high branch of the crown prince? Haha! How funny!"
Ji and Su Rongyan both changed their expressions. Who could keep their dignity when someone pointed at their faces and scolded them?
But Ji knew Su Hongan very well and knew that he cared most about face and rules. Otherwise, he would not have married Meng Jinwei and taken her as a concubine when his mother-in-law brought her to him.
Meng Jinwei has been dead for so many years, but Su Hongan still refuses to make her his equal wife. Isn't it because he is afraid that people will say that their Su family is not as good as the noble families in Beijing, and that they are unruly.
Unexpectedly, Su Wanyan also understood Su Hongan's temper. After knowing what she said, even if Su Hongan disagreed in his heart, he would not speak for the mother and daughter.
Ji hurriedly pulled her daughter to sit next to her and said with a smile, changing the subject, "Master, it's rare that the eldest daughter is willing to come and eat with us. Why don't we ask the kitchen to prepare another dish that the eldest daughter likes?"
"Okay, add another dish." Su Hongan nodded. No matter what, Su Wanyan was still his daughter. Besides, even if Su Wanyan didn't come out today, he would have someone call her to the study after dinner.
Su Wanyan was not being pretentious. She was the legitimate daughter of the Su family. Almost all the expenses of the family were paid with her mother's money. As the only daughter of the original owner's mother, what was wrong with her eating one more dish?
The Su Mansion usually has eight dishes and one soup, with chicken, duck, fish and meat all served. Su Wanyan is a meat lover, and when she eats, except for the new dish added for her, she eats every dish with gusto.
Well, the master of the Su Mansion is not that good, but the chef’s skills are pretty good. I wonder how the chef’s skills are at Prince Xiao’s Mansion?
If there is no good chef, she will poach the chef from the Su Mansion so that he can cook more delicious food for her during her exile.
Su Rongyan had just been "bullied" by Su Wanyan, and she hadn't vented her anger yet. Seeing Su Wanyan eating so voraciously, how could she let her go?
"Sister, if you eat like this, I'm afraid Prince Xiao will be displeased when you get to his mansion. It's like you haven't eaten in eight hundred years."
In fact, Su Wanyan's eating habits are not ugly, but unlike other noble ladies, she chews her food slowly and carefully.
This is the speed she developed when she was a secret agent in modern times. After all, when you are on a mission, where is the time to leisurely enjoy delicious food?
"Whether he likes it or not is King Xiao's business. How can my second sister have any say in this?" Su Wanyan tore off a roast duck leg, removed all the meat from the bones, and said as she ate.
Upon hearing this, Su Hongan glanced at Su Rongyan, looking somewhat disdainful at his second daughter's petty appearance. "Have you forgotten the rule of not talking while eating or sleeping?"
Su Rongyan didn't dare to say anything. She glared at Su Wanyan hatefully and lowered her head to pick up the rice grains.
