Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In terms of hurting someone’s feelings, Su Yingxue felt that no one could match her. Especially when it came to hurting her father’s feelings.
Su Dingheng’s hand trembled as he held the teacup, showing slight discomfort. “If you’re going to do it, do it well!”
“Father’s ‘doing it well’. What requests do you have?” Su Yingxue sat down calmly, having a chat with Su Dingheng.
Surely, he wouldn’t just request a birthday banquet without any underlying intentions for his enjoyment.
“Yingxue.” Su Dingheng’s voice carried a tone of helplessness. “Now that your grandfather is away on an expedition and your brother has gone to the borders. In this huge Marquis’s Manor, only you and I are left. It’s so deserted!”
“So, Father, you mean to ask me to bring Lady Liu and Su Yurou back to celebrate your birthday?” Su Yingxue raised an eyebrow, her eyes emitting a chill.
Su Dingheng earnestly responded, “Isn’t that the right thing? At my age, I simply want to enjoy family happiness!”
Su Yingxue’s tone turned cold. “Of course, it is. Since Father has said it, I’ll do it.”
After finishing, she stood up and left. The aura of coldness around her even made Su Dingheng feel a bit afraid.
He sat in the hall for a while, only to confirm that Su Yingxue had agreed to the matter. It was unusually smooth.
Su Yingxue agreed to arrange a birthday banquet, but she didn’t agree to invite back Liu Shulan and her daughter.
Zhilan saw Su Yingxue preparing for the birthday banquet and was furious.
“The Marquis is making things too difficult for you.”
Despite knowing Liu Shulan and her daughter’s ill intentions, Su Yingxue was expected to invite them back. Wasn’t this a humiliation to Su Yingxue?
“Do you think I’d invite them back?” Su Yingxue glanced at the guest list, her lips curling with coldness.
“But didn’t Miss promise the Master to let them return?” Zhilan’s eyes were filled with doubt.
“I won’t refuse if they come back on their own, but they’re not worthy of being invited by me.” Su Yingxue’s tone was filled with arrogance.
“Pass this guest list to the steward for preparations. Have him write the invitations himself. Also, go to the Thousand-Jiao Pavilion and let Sister Jinyan know who I’ve invited.” Su Yingxue swiftly completed her tasks and went to sleep.
Zhilan checked the list and saw a name, admiringly exclaiming, “Miss is truly clever!”
As expected of Madam’s daughter!
How intriguing!
In Yaoguang Garden, Su Yurou finally regained her spirits after being comforted by Liu Shulan for a while, along with Su Dingheng’s affection.
But seeing that Su Yingxue hadn’t yet come to ask them back, Su Yurou couldn’t contain her impatience. “Mother, why hasn’t Su Yingxue come to ask us back? Father’s birthday banquet is just two days away! Is she going to embarrass Father?”
Liu Shulan, holding a flower, tried to soothe Su Yurou. “Don’t be too hasty, or you might fall into Su Yingxue’s trap again.”
“I’m just angry! I won’t return until she comes to beg me! Even if she does beg, I want her to kneel before I’ll agree!” Su Yurou was so proud that she forgot how harshly Su Yingxue had taught her. She was living in a dream.
Liu Shulan, worried about her becoming despondent again, gave her some money to buy clothes and jewelry to lift her spirits.
While arranging flowers alone, doubts about her plan began to spread. Her plan would surely make things difficult for Su Yingxue, but it had only just started, and she couldn’t yet grasp Su Yingxue’s strategy..
