MTL - The Legitimate Daughter Returns: The Real Daughter is Reborn-Chapter 23 Where did this country girl come from?

Chapter 23 Where did the country girl come from?

Zhao Mingyan smiled heartily, took her arm and led her to the backyard.

"Sister, don't be too polite. Just treat this place as your own home. Don't be restrained."

The Zhao family and the Sun family have always been on good terms with each other as they both come from the same lineage of warriors. Just now, Mother-in-law had asked her to take more care of Miss Yun'er, who had just returned to the capital.

 “Thank you, sister.”

Su Leyun suppressed the sourness in his heart, smiled and thanked her.

Su Wan'er saw the interaction between the two and felt disdainful in her heart. She secretly thought that the Haoying family was nothing more than that, so what with General Zhao's house. They were not just trying to curry favor with the Sun family.

She just hated that this fawning was no longer directed at her, and Su Leyun took everything away from her as soon as he came back.

Hum, she wanted to see who else would be with her when this true daughter-in-law made a lot of mistakes and was in a state of embarrassment.

Just as she was thinking about it, a delicate reminder of the rest of her life came back to her thoughts.

“Wan’er, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time, why did you come here?”

A girl wearing a light green coat walked towards her, with a pair of slightly raised phoenix eyes, with a hint of arrogance and sharpness.

 “Sister Mengyao.”

Su Waner saluted her, and looked helplessly at Su Leyun who was talking to Zhao Mingyan with her watery eyes.

Li Mengyao understood. She curled her lips contemptuously and said in a voice that could be heard by others: "Is that your sister who came back from Jingzhou City? Humph, she has caused you a lot of trouble these days."

Su Wan'er hesitated to speak, looked around, pulled her to the corner next to the beam, deliberately lowered her voice and said: "Sister, don't say that, she is my sister after all."

Li Mengyao hated the fact that iron cannot become steel, and glared at her angrily: "Because of your good temper, sooner or later you will be bullied to the top of your head."

There is no airtight wall in the world. As early as when Su Leyun was rescued by His Royal Highness the King of Jin on the moat, the news that the Suhou Mansion had a daughter raised in Jingzhou City spread among the powerful circles of the capital.

The Piansu family never responded directly. They only said that they had been raised in Jingzhou since childhood and were now brought back.

Everyone is curious, Jingzhou is remote and wild, it is a ghost place where birds do not shit, how come the good-looking man in the Suhou Mansion would send his legitimate daughter to be raised there?

Li Mengyao heard a lot of gossip and lowered her voice: "Tell me the truth, is your sister a foreign wife, or is she even more shady?"

For the wealthy people, the sister -in -law will ask the master to see it. If you calculate that the number of life is not good, he is good at the parents of his parents, and he will be raised at most in the suburbs of Beijing. When he gets old, he will talk about marriage or open the house alone.

I have never heard of anyone being sent to Jingzhou, thousands of miles away!

What kind of education can someone who grew up in that place have?

　　Unless her life experience is unknown, she was recognized by Su Hou only now.

Su Waner looked embarrassed, biting her lower lip and refusing to speak. She looked at Li Mengyao as if begging for mercy, and said softly: "Sister, please don't embarrass me."

Li Mengyao looked at her hesitant expression and confirmed what she was thinking, raising a sneer on her lips.

“If a foreigner dares to dress so flamboyantly, I must have suffered a lot for you and your aunt at home!”

 Hum, everyone said that Su Hou was deeply in love. In order to marry the daughter of the Sun family, he had sworn in front of His Majesty that he would only marry one person in his life. Unexpectedly, he had a concubine who was about the same age as his legitimate daughter.

 Men are really unreliable!

If Su Hou had not made a vow to marry only one person, how could the Sun family, which was at its peak at that time, marry the most beautiful woman in the capital to a shabby household.

 You are so shameless!

"Don't be aggrieved, look at me saying this for you and your aunt!"

Li Mengyao patted Su Waner's arm comfortingly and walked towards Su Leyun with an unkind expression.

It happened that Zhao Mingyan went to greet others, while Su Leyun stood alone by the plum tree admiring the flowers. Several noble ladies from aristocratic families nearby were chatting alone, looking at the Miss Suhoufu whom they had never seen before with their peripheral vision, and exchanging glances with each other.

Li Mengyao stood in front of Su Leyun, the red gold hairpin on her temples reflecting the sunlight and dazzling her eyes.

 “Su Leyun?”

Her tone was unkind. For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the two of them, and their eyes were full of excitement for watching a good show.

  “Exactly.”

Su Leyun straightened his sleeves and answered with a smile. The Li Mengyao standing in front of him was the eldest daughter of the Zhenguo Duke's family. She was a legitimate daughter and had a high status. She had been engaged to the eldest son of the Prime Minister's country since she was a child, and could only get married in the spring of the new year.

She has always been on good terms with Su Waner. In her previous life, she looked down on herself, a local girl from Jingzhou City, and always helped Su Waner get in trouble for her.

 It will be the same in this life too.

“I heard that you were raised in Jingzhou since you were a child. This is strange. You are the legitimate daughter of a noble prince…”

Li Mengyao paused, deliberately emphasizing the word "legendary daughter", and spoke with a bit of sarcasm: "Why do you go to such a poor and remote place? How can you raise a noble daughter with dignified conduct in the poor mountains and harsh waters?"

Li Mengyao spoke quickly and directly pointed out the doubts in everyone's hearts. Everyone stopped talking and looked at Su Leyun curiously.

In order to protect Su Wan'er's legitimate daughter status and for the reputation of the Su family, Mrs. Su had been covering up the fact that she gave birth to the wrong child. Only a few families who were close to Sun Jiarou knew the truth.

But Zhao Mingyan was not here and could not help her.

Su Wan'er looked at Su Leyun with gloomy eyebrows. She made a mess at the banquet for the first time. She wanted to see how the legitimate daughter would explain herself after returning home.

"The elders in the family have their own opinions on this matter, I dare not speak for myself. As for upbringing, if you have an upright mind and a upright body, you will have good conduct. The rest of the family will learn slowly, and no one will know it from birth. "

Su Leyun's words were polite and polite, neither humble nor arrogant, so that people could not fault him at all, and his words and deeds did not show any trace of the restraint and vulgarity of a remote country.

“We are all of the same generation, why should we bring up our elders to suppress others? Why, there is something shameful about your life experience that you cannot tell others about?”

Li Mengyao pressed forward step by step, not giving in at all, her arrogant eyebrows were full of lust, she just wanted to bring this outsider back to her original shape, so that she would not dare to be arrogant again!

"You have your own reasons for not saying anything. Why should Miss Li be so aggressive? Is this the etiquette of a noble lady in the capital?"

Su Leyun put down the smile on his face, and his words were a bit distant and cold.

Seeing how stubborn she was, Li Mengyao became more and more angry and retorted: "The etiquette of a noble lady in the capital? I don't understand. Do you, a country girl who grew up in Jingzhou, understand?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everything was silent. Zhao Mingyan just happened to lead a man in expensive clothes, wearing a red gold phoenix hairpin, and walked in with graceful steps.

Everyone was silent and bowed in unison.

 “Princess Anle is a thousand years old.”

Princess Anle was wearing a scarlet coat, with a pair of watery eyes carrying a bit of royal majesty, and she raised her hand slightly.

“No need to be formal, please get up. I am here today just to celebrate my birthday.”

Everyone stood up. Princess Anle's eyes fell on Su Leyun, she raised her eyebrows and asked curiously: "Are you from Jingzhou?"

Su Leyun nodded in agreement and thought to himself, this is the direct sister of King Jin, the direct princess left behind by the late queen.

 In her previous life, Princess Anle went to the desert with her family after King Jin left. I don’t know how she lived afterwards.

“Jingzhou, you are the daughter of the Su family, why did you go so far away?”
