Huh? The Tyrant Cries After My Inner Thoughts Were Exposed!-Chapter 136: We Are Her Parents...

The beautiful concubine being stared at like this made Mr. Li feel quite proud, so he didn’t mind Su Juan showing up uninvited at all.

He brought the beautiful concubine, took his young son from the wet nurse, and laughed heartily, "Thank you all for giving Mr. Li this honor. Please make yourselves at home, eat well, drink well. If there’s anything you need, just tell the servants. If there’s any shortcoming in our hospitality, please forgive us."

Su Juan’s eyes lit up immediately, [Great!]

The crowd: "?"

Xie Xun turned back to look at Su Juan, "?"

[Another two trays of pork knuckles, and another jug of good wine!]

Mr. Li: "....."

[The cook at the Li Mansion is actually pretty good, this pork knuckle is really well done. It would be even better if I could take some home.]

Mr. Li’s face turned green. He said to make themselves at home, but he didn’t mean literally!

Someone nearly burst out laughing. Mr. Li was just being polite, but Vice Director Su really wasn’t being polite at all.

And some smart people already started observing which table was eating the pork knuckles the fastest, and Su Juan must be at that table.

In fact, at Su Juan’s table, she was the only one eating the knuckles.

Xie Xun rubbed his forehead, never had he seen a servant sit at the table and eat more than the host.

He looked around, but couldn’t find Su Juan anywhere, so everyone just let it go.

The guests ate and drank well. Mr. Li, holding his child, placed him in a pre-arranged spot, surrounded by various items, including the four treasures of the study, an abacus, and some precious objects, for the child to pick from at his birthday ceremony.

Su Juan also joined in to watch the fun, only to see the child crawl a couple of steps amidst the jeering but couldn’t crawl any further, grabbing nothing. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Su Juan squinted her eyes, [It seems this kid doesn’t like these things.]

Mr. Li got nervous, went over, and brought his son back to the center.

Just as he was about to get up, everyone exclaimed in surprise when the chubby little hand grabbed Mr. Li’s sleeve and laughed with a squeal.

"Mr. Li, your son grabbed you!"

Mr. Li was also stunned, then burst into laughter. His own son had good taste; nothing on the ground could compare with having him as a father!

"Your son has good eyes, he is bound to be promising in the future."

"He will definitely be filial."

Amidst the flattery of the guests, Mr. Li picked up his son, beaming with joy, and liked the beautiful concubine beside him even more, holding her in his arms.

The concubine smiled demurely, snuggling in her husband’s arms, despite the rightful wife’s glare.

Mrs. Li was so angry she nearly went insane. Her husband was being affectionate with his concubine and their child was being doted on. What about her position as the legitimate wife!

Su Juan watched this scene and sighed, [What a harmonious family of three.]

Mrs. Li and the young ladies and gentlemen’s faces turned even more grim.

[Of all things to grab, why grab an old man?]

[It seems this little brat has no prospects for the future.]

Some nearly laughed out loud, this Vice Director really is too direct.

Mr. Li’s face turned dark, grinding his teeth in anger, wishing he could drag Su Juan out and throw her out.

He had never even sent her an invite; how thick-skinned she was!

Mrs. Li and the others laughed instead: This girl sure knows how to talk, she should say more.

Xie Xun suddenly felt that he shouldn’t have gone out today, especially not bringing Su Juan along.

Watching Mr. Li’s face change like it was magic, he wondered how Su Juan managed her days in the court, with all the people she offended, with her rhetoric.

He looked around, estimating which way he could run fastest if a fight broke out.

Just then, a commotion was heard outside, three people barged in, and the servants couldn’t stop them.

Su Juan raised an eyebrow, [The real show begins.]

A real show!?

The crowd looked on curiously. A couple with a teenage boy around seventeen or eighteen stood at the entrance of the hall. After standing for a while, seemingly searching for someone, their eyes landed on the beautiful concubine beside Mr. Li, and they cried out, "Ru’er! Father and Mother have found you!"

Xie Xun was astonished. The people Shen Ruhui had brought turned out to be the concubine’s parents and brother.

The concubine was utterly surprised to see that her parents had found her, and exclaimed, "How did you come here!?"

Mr. Li frowned, when Judge Wu sent her over, he didn’t mention that Ru Niang had parents, let alone a brother.

The crowd watched his reaction, confused. Mr. Li seemed unfamiliar with the parents of his concubine. How did this marriage happen?

Su Juan watched the drama unfold with great interest, [It seems Li the fool really doesn’t know his concubine has family, and the way he married this concubine seems really foolish.]

The couple grabbed the concubine, crying profusely. The young man spoke with blame, "Sister, we couldn’t find you at the Wu Mansion. They said you were dead, but Father and Mother didn’t believe it. We searched all the way here to finally find you."

[Wow, they said she was dead. That’s interesting.]

The couple’s eyes fell on Mr. Li, lit up with interest; could he be the high official their daughter recently attached to?

"Ru’er, weren’t you at Lord Wu’s mansion? How did you end up here... and who is this?"

Upon hearing them mention Judge Wu, Mr. Li’s face changed instantly, his voice threatening, "Ru Niang, who are these people?"

[Listen, folks, he’s getting threatening!]

Everyone: We heard it, we heard it! Don’t digress!

Mr. Li looked grim, knowing that Su’s presence spelled trouble.

The concubine’s face turned somewhat bleak, recalling what Judge Wu had told her, and shook her head immediately, "Master, I don’t know them."

[Oh ho, just now asking how they got here, now saying she doesn’t know them, what a contradiction.]

The crowd, both puzzled and curious, realizing she seemed familiar just moments ago but now claimed she didn’t know them; there’s bound to be something fishy here!

The young man, upon hearing this, grew somber. He glanced at the man beside his sister. Though older than Judge Wu, this man dressed far better than Judge Wu ever did. Just looking at this residence, this feast, it was clear he was a high official.

It seems his sister had climbed a higher branch and wanted to shake off these burdens.

The couple felt resentment in their gaze at their daughter. They had helped her into the Wu Mansion, but received no benefits. Now the daughter immediately turned and attached herself to some high official in the Capital City, wanting to shake off them, her parents, completely unjust!

Even if it meant not acknowledging this daughter today, they had to get some money out of it!

"Master, you should know, we are her parents..."

But before the couple could finish, they were interrupted by Mr. Li, who sternly called for his men, "Why are you all standing by! Didn’t you hear Madam Ru say she doesn’t know them? Hurry and throw them out!"

[Ha! Li the fool is furious and wants them out!]

Everyone: We saw it, we saw it!
