Chapter 140 The Lady is Nice to Everyone

"Our lady is so pretty!"

The more Yuchuan looked, the more satisfied she became. Jinchuan also said, "Our eldest lady has always been extremely beautiful!"

"Hey, hey, hey, mother, you look like your sister when you dress like this, not like your mother at all."

Gu Zixuan walked in from outside, and his eyes lit up when he saw Su Jin like this.

He was a Tanhua Lang, but he had not been awarded a position yet, so he had no official robes to wear. He simply put on a decent set of clothes and dressed himself neatly, looking more handsome and energetic.

Jin Chuan joked: "Did the emperor also think our Xuan brother is good-looking, so he specially gave him the title of Tanhualang?"

Isn't it said that since ancient times the third place winner has always been the most good-looking? Even if one has the best literary talent, but because of good looks, he will have to move from the first to the third place. I don't know if it's true or not.

Jinchuan joked, and Yuchuan replied, "Of course he is. Our Xuan brother is really talented and handsome!"

The people around burst into laughter, even An Xiaoniang couldn't help laughing out loud.

Soon, Gu Sui Yu and Gu Zilu also arrived. The two children were carefully dressed up and looked bright, energetic and neat.

Su Jin was very satisfied. After all, they were children of the Marquis's Mansion. Their temperament and manners were outstanding.

As they were talking, Gu Changqing came outside.

"Are you all ready?"

Gu Changqing was wearing the robes of a fifth-rank official, and looked quite respectable. Officials' families were also allowed to attend today's banquet, and as it happened to coincide with the Mid-Autumn Festival, the emperor ordered more people to come to join in the fun.

So Gu Changqing planned to take all his children to participate, regardless of whether they were legitimate or illegitimate.

Seeing that Su Jin didn't answer, Jin Chuan said, "Everything is ready, and my brothers and sisters are ready too."

Gu Changqing looked at the three children with satisfaction. Seeing that each of them was well-dressed and beautiful, he nodded with satisfaction.

No matter what Su Jin is like, these three children are all very outstanding, and Gu Changqing is very satisfied with this.

"Then let's go. The banquet will probably last until very late. Yuchuan, remember to bring your cloak."

Gu Changqing whispered the instructions and Yuchuan turned around to prepare. After everything was ready, Gu Changqing waited for Su Jin, and the two walked out of Liuting Pavilion together.

Outside, Gu Ruyu, Gu Zifeng and several illegitimate sons were already waiting. When Gu Changqing came out, they followed him out. In the yard, Lin Wanhui looked at the backs of everyone leaving with resentment in her heart, and her mood instantly became bad again.

That was a palace banquet, a palace banquet that ordinary people would never be able to attend in their entire lives. But now, Su Jin went there so easily, and brought her own children with her?

Lin Wanhui felt all kinds of emotions in her heart. She understood that she couldn't go only because she was a concubine, but what if she was the mistress?

If she sat in Su Jin's position, would she also be able to attend the palace banquet so glamorously?

"The lotus crown on your sister's head is the one given by the old lady, right?"

Lin Wanhui murmured. She had originally wanted to go to her sister's room to take a look, but her sister didn't open the door for her. She couldn't even get into the listening room, let alone take a look.

Oh, after all, isn’t Su Jin also on guard against me?

She sneered, turned around and saw Aunt Mei passing by.

Seeing her, Lin Wanhui said coldly: "You are calm, Su Jin also took your child there, are you so relieved?"

Aunt Mei sighed, "Wanhui, Su Jin is the mistress after all. She has never treated her children harshly over the years. What else are you worried about?"

It would be fine if this wasn’t mentioned, but Lin Wanhui would get even angrier if this was mentioned.

Yes, just because Su Jin had never been harsh on her children, she became even more angry. She was angry that Su Jin was pretending. He clearly didn't like her and they often quarreled, but he was still so good to his children. Isn't this hypocrisy?

"In short, she doesn't want my children to be well. Her son has found a matchmaker with a huge sum of money from the Shangshu Mansion, which is the best proof!"

Aunt Mei looked at Lin Wanhui speechlessly: "That's because the eldest lady's son is the eldest son..."

"Just shut up!"

Lin Wanhui scolded coldly: "Who the hell are you? If I hadn't helped you, do you think you could have conceived these two children? Bah! Mei Qingqing, know your place!"

After scolding, Lin Wanhui turned around and left, leaving Mei Qingqing unable to help but sigh.

Gu Changqing had five concubines. Lin Wanhui was the first concubine, and she was the third. There was another concubine before her, but they still had no children. And because she was old, she was not loved by Gu Changqing, so she spent the rest of her life in the Buddhist temple, praying to the Buddha with green lamps every day.

The two concubines after her both had children, but one gave birth to a daughter, the six-year-old Gu Wenyu, and the last one was An Xiaoniang, who just gave birth to a son. An Xiaoniang was able to give birth to her son because of Su Jin's help. If Lin Wanhui was there, the child would never have been born.

As for her, she had to juggle both sides and finally had a son and a daughter. But what's the use of having children? With Lin Wanhui's children above them, her own children would always have to avoid their limelight.

Fortunately, the eldest lady was kind-hearted and instructed that all the children in the mansion learn from Mr. Zhuzhi, so her son Gu Zifeng had the opportunity to come into contact with good teachers and good resources.

After all, the only person Mei Qingqing is grateful to now is Su Jin.

As she was thinking, she looked in the direction of Liuting Pavilion, and just in time she saw An Xiaoniang taking her son out for a stroll.

The chubby little kid is wrapped in a red quilt, staring at her with a pair of big black eyes. At first glance, it looks like a chubby little fellow.

Mei Qingqing immediately thought of her son when he was little, and smiled as she walked over to him, "He's this big now?"

An Xiaoniang smiled and said, "Yeah."

"Still breastfeeding?"

An Xiaoniang smiled shyly: "Madam asked me to feed it for a while longer."

Mei Qingqing's face showed a little more envy: "The lady is so good to you."

"No, no, no, the lady is kind to everyone. I'm just lucky that the lady saved my life."

Mei Qingqing glanced at An Xiaoniang.

This was the last concubine to enter the mansion and the youngest. Her eyes still retained the innocence and brightness of a young girl. Mei Qingqing felt that it might really be thanks to Su Jin that An Xiaoniang was able to retain this innocence.

Thinking about it, she smiled and said, "Yes, the lady is indeed kind to everyone."

Some people are born with a true temperament. They like something if they like it and hate something if they hate it. These people can stand up straight mostly because they have a strong family background and can stand up to it. But what do these concubines have?

Even when you are carried into the house, you have to be humble and kind even to servants, because you are not the most favored one and cannot become arrogant by relying on favor.

"Okay, let's go back quickly. Mu Ge'er is still young, don't scare the child."

Mei Qingqing smiled and looked at An Xiaoniang's departing back with envy.
