Rebirth of the Poisonous Daughter

Chapter 39

Supported by Yin He, Su Ruiran walked among the crowd. The wives and ladies from the surrounding families gathered together in twos and threes, talking and laughing, which was very lively.After all, it was the first time for her to come to such an occasion, even if there were such occasions in the past, it would not be her turn, it was all Yanran and Erniang who went there.

The young ladies of each family were well-dressed, laughing and laughing, as if they were among the flowers in spring.

She looked around and asked Yin He, "Where is Er Niang?"

Yin He replied: "Madam suddenly fell ill early this morning, and specially invited the doctor to come over, so the only one who came to pay homage to our prime minister's mansion today is the young miss."

What a coincidence, in fact, she knew very well that Erniang was really sick, but she used to bring Yanran here, but now she was replaced by herself, if those young women asked, she would not be able to save face, Simply say that you are sick and not present.

Yin He found a shade under a tree for her to enjoy the shade: "Miss, wait a minute, the master will be here in a while."

Yin He fanned Su Ruiran, and the two of them stayed in the shade like this.

However, not long after, I suddenly heard an arrogant voice from the side: "Hey, didn't you see you walking in front of our lady?"

Su Ruiran and Yin He turned their heads at the same time, only to see a woman and a maid standing beside them.The woman had some looks, and she was dressed very gorgeously. The embroidery on the clothes was all mixed with gold thread, and the hairpins on her head were all gemstones inlaid with gold. The workmanship was exquisite and extravagant.

Judging by her attire, she must not be a woman from an ordinary family.

Since this is the first time for me to come to such an occasion with my father today, it is better to be patient in everything and not to cause any trouble for my father.

So she pulled Yin He back to the side, giving way to them.

The woman raised her face, showing a smug expression, and walked over with her servants, but stopped in front of Su Ruiran.The woman looked at her from head to toe for a while, and her attitude became even more arrogant: "Who are you? Why have I never seen it before? You look pretty good, even if you are dressed so plainly, your father is not a high-ranking official in the court."

Su Ruiran smiled slightly: "Of course I can't compare to this elder sister. She is beautiful, so she must be from a wealthy family."

The woman smiled triumphantly when she heard it: "That's natural, don't call me sister and sister, I'm different from you, don't let me get into your bad luck."

Yin He frowned as if he was going to have a fit, Su Ruiran secretly pulled her, signaling her not to act rashly.

The servant girl next to the woman also looked arrogant, and she didn't take Su Ruiran seriously at all: "Our young lady is the daughter of the Yuntinghou family, and being able to talk to you today is also a blessing from your past generations of cultivation. Come and see our young lady soon."

It turned out to be Guan Mushuang, the daughter of Yun Tinghou's official family. Su Ruiran thought of this and helped her up and saluted her: "I've met Miss Guan."

Although she is in her boudoir, she has heard some people's names before.For example, this Guan Mushuang has always relied on her father's position as marquis, bullying people everywhere, and being arrogant.As long as it is the daughter of a courtier whose official position is not as good as her father's, if she doesn't cling to her, she will be trampled under her feet.

He didn't expect to let himself bump into her today.

Seeing that Su Ruiran was obedient, Guan Mushuang was in a good mood, and looked at her with a condescending attitude: "Not bad, not bad, what kind of official is your father in the court?"

She said lightly: "My father's official position cannot be compared with that of Yun Tinghou."

"That's natural." Guan Mushuang was even more proud, with a generous attitude, "I'll tell my father later, you let your father pay homage to the Hou's mansion, and when the time comes to promote your father to an official position, it's okay. I don't know because the official position is too low to speak out and not be able to get on the stage." After she finished speaking, she covered her mouth with her maid and laughed.

Yin He's complexion was already very ugly, such an arrogant woman humiliated Miss in public.If you let her know who our master is, see if she can still laugh.

However, looking at the young lady again, I saw that the young lady was not angry, but kept a smile on her face: "In this case, I would like to thank Miss Guan for her kindness."

At this moment, someone reminded Guan Mushuang that Yun Tinghou was here.

As soon as Guan Mushuang heard her father coming, she yelled "Daddy" from a distance, and waved at him.

Su Ruiran and Yin He also turned their heads and saw a middle-aged man with a slender figure and a purple gold crown on his head. He had a beard that was as long as a finger, his eyes were steady, and he exuded a noble aura.The first time she saw Yun Tinghou, Su Ruiran felt that although he and Guan Mushuang were father and daughter, the feelings of the two were quite different.

One is calm and introverted, and the other is frivolous and flamboyant.

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to imagine that they were father and daughter.

Yin He gently tugged at her sleeve, motioning her to look aside.I saw a person walking side by side beside Yun Tinghou, but he was short in stature, half a head shorter than Yun Tinghou, so he didn't attract attention in the blink of an eye.

In the entire Nan Kingdom, who can walk side by side with Yun Tinghou and who is short in stature, except Dad?

Guan Mushuang smiled and bowed to Yun Tinghou: "I've seen Daddy."

Yun Tinghou stopped in his tracks: "It's Shuang'er, get up quickly." Pointing to Su Chao: "This is Prime Minister Su."

Guan Mushuang also bowed to Su Chao, "I've seen Prime Minister Su."

Su Chao nodded slightly as a signal, and raised his hand to make her stand up, but his gaze soon fell on the person behind her.

Rui Ran?How could you be with her?
Yun Tinghou also saw the woman behind her, and asked her, "Shuang'er, who are they?"

Guan Mushuang quickly stepped forward and took Yun Tinghou's arm, glanced at Su Ruiran, with contempt in his eyes, and said to Yun Tinghou with a smile: "My daughter only met today, and I don't know whose daughter it is. , because her father's official position is too low to speak out. The daughter still wants her father to beg her father to see if she can be promoted or something, so that she won't be ashamed."

Su Chao coughed slightly.

"Nonsense." Yun Tinghou frowned, "Your little daughter's family can joke about the court affairs." After speaking, he turned to Su Chao and said, "Su Xiang, I made you laugh."

"It's okay, it's all a joke from my little daughter's family, so why would I take it to heart." Su Chao's expression was a little awkward, and he wanted to smile to ease the discomfort on his face, but he couldn't.

Su Ruiran saw her father's expression, and the atmosphere was a little stiff, so she came out and bowed to her father and Yun Tinghou one by one: "I've met my father, I've seen Lord Hou."

Daddy, Yun Tinghou's father and daughter were suddenly speechless in surprise, did you hear me wrong, she actually called Su Chao Daddy.

It has long been heard that the person who came to Su Xiang's house today is the eldest daughter from the first line, could it be her?

Guan Mushuang opened her mouth wide in shock, and sized her up a few times in disbelief. Dressed so plainly, she didn't look like a daughter of the Prime Minister's family.

When Guan Mushuang thought of what she said just now, that she was brazen enough to ask her father to promote her father, she immediately felt so ashamed that her face turned red to the neck.

Looking at the people watching the excitement around, it seems that they are all laughing at themselves.It made her wish to find a seam in the ground and drill down. She looked at Su Ruiran, and a trace of anger suddenly rose in her heart.

It's all her, since her father is the prime minister, why didn't she make it clear earlier?On the surface, she pretended to be approachable and obedient, but in fact it was all intentional. She just deliberately wanted to make a fool of herself in front of everyone, and wanted to use this to humiliate herself.

The more Guan Mushuang thought about it, the angrier she became, her teeth itching with hatred, but it was a pity that her father and Prime Minister Su were by her side, so she couldn't get angry.But at this time, Yun Tinghou asked her to apologize to Su Ruiran in public.Even if there is a million unwillingness in my heart, but because of my father's words and the identity of the other party, I have to obey.But even more, she felt that the eyes of the people around her were full of sarcasm. She had never been wronged like this, which undoubtedly added fuel to the anger in her heart.

It's a time when people climb high and fall hard. Although she can't do anything to her today, she secretly vows that she will avenge today's humiliation.

Su Ruiran, just wait for me.

After the pilgrimage to the emperor, the young ladies ordered the wives to pay homage to the concubines in the harem. This time, not many concubines followed the emperor to hunt.Apart from the queen and the most favored concubine Li Gui, there are also a few nobles who are often favored on weekdays.

Just now because the master and Yun Tinghou were both there, Yin He didn't dare to speak on such a grand occasion, and now he helped the young lady to the queen's yurt, and finally said after holding back: "Miss, you didn't see it just now. That Miss Guan's complexion is really ugly, who made her arrogant and rude first."

Su Ruiran calmly helped the hairpin on the bun: "Okay, don't mention this matter after it's over, or let the gossip-loving people hear it and wonder what it will say."

"Yes." Although the young lady said so, Yin He still felt happy in his heart.

Su Ruiran looked at the big and small yurts in front of her. The queen's yurt was in the middle, only a little smaller than the emperor's.The dome of white cloth is like a chess piece, and she seems to have entered a game of chess, deeply trapped in a maze, surrounded by dangers.

Today, she deliberately tolerated it, but judging by Guan Mushuang's appearance, she thought that this problem must have been forged.

It was really unintentional, and she didn't expect things to turn out like this.

When we got outside the queen's yurt, most of the wives and ladies had arrived, and people came one after another, all waiting outside the yurt.

As soon as Su Ruiran arrived, she heard someone calling herself: "Sister."

When she turned her head, she saw a woman in a lavender chrysanthemum-patterned shirt walking over with a maidservant smiling, and helped Su Ruiran up: "My sister has met my sister."

Su Ruiran sized her up, and greeted her with a smile: "This younger sister looks strange, who is it?"

The woman said with a smile: "My name is Yuerong, I am the daughter of a senior scholar, Fang Hu, and my sister is the eldest daughter of Su Xiang's family?"

Knowing that before the pilgrimage this morning, Guan Mushuang had already exposed her identity by making such a fuss.Then at this time, it is reasonable for someone to be strong again, or even curry favour.

Several palanquins came over, and everyone became quiet all of a sudden, only to hear the eunuch's shrill voice announcing the position of concubine, and then the eunuch immediately raised the curtain and helped their masters go in.

Su Ruiran listened to three or four concubines being announced back and forth, but she was the only one who didn't hear about Concubine Li, so she couldn't help feeling strange, and asked Fang Yuerong, "Why don't you see your concubine?"

"My sister is here for the first time and I don't know." Fang Yuerong's words carried a deep meaning, "How respectful is the imperial concubine, naturally she will not go with other concubines."

Su Ruiran thought to herself, if she heard that Concubine Li Gui dotes on the harem early in the morning, if she can be compared with the empress, it is naturally incomparable for ordinary concubines.As soon as she thought of this, she heard a eunuch shouting in a shrill voice: "Ms. Mingfu enters the palace to pay homage to the sixth palace concubine."

Everyone began to rustle in, and stood in order, silently.Only the sound of thin footsteps was heard, accompanied by the crisp sound of the collision of the rings around the waist.
