Chapter 85 My father is Chen Youmin! My mother is Zhou Yao!
Only the old lady and the Marquis of Yong'an could get the privilege of using a card to invite the imperial physician. Even Liang Shi could not do so easily.
Not to mention that Su Ye, who was beaten half to death this time, did not even call a royal physician.
At this moment, Su Ye was walking over with the support of Zhou Yao, and the two of them happened to hear the words of Yong'an Hou and his high praise for Su Rui.
Neither of them is happy.
Su Ye was angry that Su Rui had made him look like this, yet she was still sitting there fine. He became more and more certain that she had deliberately pretended to be unconscious that night so as not to plead for him.
Zhou Yao was resentful and jealous. Marquis Yong'an was still praising Su Rui today. It was supposed to be an occasion for her to be the center of attention, but now everyone's eyes were on Su Rui.
Why.
Everyone knew that she was the lowest military slave, but because of Yun Ji, they all worshipped her.
She hated it, but there was nothing she could do.
Liang told her again and again that she must not cause any trouble today.
She had tasted enough bitter fruit the previous two times, and this time, she would never be fooled.
"My cousin is dressed so gorgeously today." Su Rui's gaze passed over Yong'an Marquis and fell on Zhou Yao.
When she spoke, everyone realized that Zhou Yao had arrived.
Today she was indeed dressed extraordinarily luxuriously, unlike her usual appearance as a little flower. She wore a pleated skirt embroidered with gold thread and hundreds of blooming flowers, and a blue silk gauze dress covered with a Shu brocade jacket with light and dark patterns of flying butterflies.
She wore a gilt headpiece covered with gems and kingfisher feathers, ruby lotus petal earrings, and around her neck hung a pure gold lock-shaped necklace inlaid with white jade and three agate pearl tassels.
The whole house is full of gold and jade, shining brightly.
Her whole body was silently filled with the reflection of how much the Yong'an Marquisate valued her and the family's wealth.
Even though Su Rui had taken away so much money, he was still able to hold a grand banquet and dress up his stepdaughter like this.
Even if some people suspected that the Marquis' Mansion was just trying to be rich, no one dared to say it for sure, so no one dared to neglect it easily.
The purpose of Yong'an Marquis Mansion has been half achieved.
"I dare not compare myself with my elder sister. I am just a weakling, but I am very happy that my elder sister is willing to come today." She pretended to be happy and seemed to be really beautiful and kind-hearted.
"Of course I have to come and congratulate my cousin on such a big event." Su Rui's smile did not reach her eyes. Zhou Yao's appearance was reflected in her beautiful peach blossom eyes, which made Zhou Yao feel cold in her heart.
"Congratulations? Who knows what you're up to?" Su Ye said indignantly. Meeting the warning look from Yong'an Hou, he curled his lips in dissatisfaction and said, "Since I came to congratulate you, I don't see you preparing a gift."
Changing one's surname is a big deal, and it also means rebirth in Da Zhao, so guests will prepare gifts to celebrate for the person who changed his surname.
No matter how big or small, it must be there.
Looking at the whole audience, it was indeed true that Su Rui was the only one with empty hands.
"We are a family, so there is no need to prepare any gifts. The thought is the best gift." In front of others, Liang immediately acted like a virtuous mother to smooth things over for Su Rui.
"Of course I have to prepare a gift." Su Rui smiled even more deeply, "I have prepared a big gift for my cousin, and it will be on the way soon."
Hearing Su Rui say this, Zhou Yao and Liang's hearts skipped a beat.
But before he could think about it, the elders of the Su family came in and he became busy for a while, and he had no time to think about anything else.
…
On Jinling Street.
Changning was half lying in the carriage, playing pot-throwing to relieve his boredom.
"Princess, today the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion is changing the stepdaughter's surname and hosting a banquet for all the families in the capital. Even the eldest prince is attending. Do you want to go and see the fun?" The nanny suggested while serving tea.
Chang Ning threw an arrow into the teapot, took the teacup, and said disdainfully, "She's just a stepdaughter. Marquis Yong'an is obsessed with lust and can't figure it out. The eldest prince is just as useless, bewitched by that slut Su Rui. This princess has no interest in bringing happiness to Zhou Yao. If Marquis Yong'an hadn't protected her and my father was about to return, this princess wouldn't have endured until now."
She hasn't settled the score with Zhou Yao about the zoo yet.
Even if there is no evidence that she was the one who threw the bag of venison in, it couldn't be anyone else except her.
She actually dared to disregard Li Li's life. She would remember this account and settle it with that little bitch after some time.
"It will take more than a month for the prince to return to the capital, but this morning my son-in-law sent a letter saying that he will be able to return to the capital in a few days."
When Chen Youmin was mentioned, Changning frowned, showing her disgust without a trace.
The nanny watched and patiently advised, "Princess, in this situation, the son-in-law is indispensable, otherwise it will arouse suspicion. Even if it is a show, you should act it out again."
Chang Ning understood very well that in her current situation, she had to have Chen Youmin as a shield. She just had to pretend to be deeply in love with him and would never leave him.
But, it's really annoying.
When I first met Chen Youmin, I did like him, and I liked the feeling of snatching him from someone else even more.
But as time went on, no matter how beautiful a face was, she would get tired of it after looking at it for too long. In addition, what happened five years ago was a thorn in her heart. However, she could not disobey the order at that time, otherwise, she would not want that unfaithful thing.
"Know..."
Before Changning could finish his impatient reply, the carriage suddenly stopped, causing the teacup in his hand to fall and the tea to wet his sleeves.
"What's going on! Don't you want your head anymore?" The nanny pushed open the car door and cursed.
The coachman was so frightened that he trembled as he explained, "I didn't dare. It was this little brat who suddenly rushed out to stop the carriage, so I had to stop."
The coachman never thought that anyone would dare to stop the carriage of Prince Long's mansion. People on this street would run as far away from the carriage as possible when they saw it. No one would dare to risk his life.
That's why he subconsciously pulled the reins hard when the person in front of him rushed out.
The nanny was also surprised. She stretched her head to look out and saw a little kid of about four or five years old. He stretched out his hands to block the car, raised his head, and stared at it with his eyes, like a wolf, but also like...
The nanny's face suddenly changed drastically, and she shouted anxiously: "Catch him!"
The guards on both sides immediately stepped forward to arrest the man, but they didn't expect the wolf cub to be very agile and evaded capture. He rushed to the front of the carriage and shouted, "Why are you arresting me?! I'm here to find my father. My father is Chen Youmin, the master of Prince Long's Mansion. I want to see him!"
When he shouted, people on both sides of the street, although far away, heard it and stretched their heads to look.
Then isn’t Chen Youmin… an extinct family?
Changning, who was in the carriage, also heard it. He immediately stood up and pulled away the nanny who was blocking the door. He saw the wolf cub who was caught by the guards and was still holding on to the shaft of the carriage tightly.
You can tell at a glance that the face is Chen Youmin's.
"Tell me, who is your father?" Changning asked through gritted teeth, holding the edge of the car tightly and leaving scratches on it.
"My father is Chen Youmin! My mother is Zhou Yao! I am their son, Zhou Cheng! I am here to find my father, let me go!"
"Zhou, Yao." Chang Ning repeated these two words in disbelief. Everything that happened five years ago quickly turned over in his mind, as well as what Su Rui said at Old Madam Su's birthday party.
It’s Zhou Yao!
She actually underestimated her and dared to give birth to such a bastard under her nose!
"Okay! Get in the car, I'll take you to find your parents right away!"
