Xiao Shao looked down at her. Jiang Ruan was still young, and even though she was already considered tall among her peers, she only reached Xiao Shao's chest. Xiao Shao listened to her words, but was not angry. His long and slightly curved eyelashes drooped down as he said, "Xia Cheng will not let you off."
"There are many people in this world who will not let me off," Jiang Ruan looked straight into his eyes, "I may not really die." She smiled slightly, "Your Highness can't even take care of yourself, how can you still have the leisure to care about others?"
Xiao Shao was slightly startled. In the court, everyone respected him, feared him, and flattered him, but there were also countless people who wanted to harm him. It was very similar to the situation of the di daughter of the Jiang fu, but he had never been afraid, even if there was danger everywhere, because … he said lightly, "Ben Wang has the ability to protect myself, do you?"
"Your Highness should not worry about Ruan niang," Jiang Ruan cautiously kept a distance from him. Once bitten, twice shy. He had once saved Jiang Su Su, who knew what he was planning. But as long as it was related to Jiang Su Su, she would not hesitate to classify it as an enemy, and Jinying Wang was the same, "Whether Ruan niang has the ability to protect herself or not, isn't it clear to Your Highness?" After thinking for a while, she added, "Although it is good to be a fence-sitter, it is still shameful. Since you have chosen a side, don't change it at will. Be careful not to please both sides." After saying this, she walked outside and no longer paid attention to Xiao Shao.
Xiao Shao stood where he was. Jiang Ruan's words were to remind him not to be a fence-sitter, and he naturally understood that. Ye Feng said, "This Eldest Jiang Miss is really rude. Master is kind enough to help her, but she still ridicules him."
"Ye Feng," Xiao Shao interrupted him, "Return to the fu."
In the room, Yu Ya was silently wiping her tears. Xia Cheng's face was gloomy, and after glancing at the deathly pale Xia Jun, he finally could not hold back his anger and pointed at Jiang Su Su, "Evil girl, kneel!"
Jiang Su Su panicked and hurriedly moved closer to Xia Yan. Xia Yan protected her in her arms and whispered, "Father, what are you doing?"
"Don't think that I don't know why Jun 'er went to the ancestral hall for no reason last night. It was all because of this evil girl! Now, nothing has happened to Jiang Ruan, but your cousin has fallen into someone else's trap! "
Xia Jun frowned, but Yu Ya shrieked. The way she looked at Jiang Su Su suddenly changed, "Is this true?"
Jiang Su Su evaded her aunt's sharp gaze and said, "This matter was agreed to by Biao Ge himself. Moreover, I only asked him to comfort Da Jiejie. If it wasn't for Biao Ge having such thoughts, how could things have developed to this stage?"
Xia Jun's eyes darkened when he heard that. He snorted coldly and said, "Comfort? Do you really think no one knows that you put an aphrodisiac in the incense burner?" This was something he figured out after the fact. At that time, the ancestral hall was filled with smoke, and he only thought that it was the incense burning in the ancestral hall. However, when he lost his rationality, he immediately thought of something suspicious.
Yu Ya finally could not bear it any longer and rushed forward. She pulled Xia Yan away and slapped Jiang Su Su's face. Her blow was extremely heavy, and Jiang Su Su staggered from the impact. The veil covering her face fell off, revealing half of her ugly face. She screamed and covered her face, shouting, "What are you doing?"
"What am I doing?" At this moment, Yu Ya had completely shed her usual noble and dignified image of a noblewoman. Her face was ferocious, as if she wanted to swallow Jiang Su Su whole. "You schemed against Jun 'er like this, and even used an aphrodisiac. Do you have any shame?"
"Second Sister-in-law!" Xia Yan shielded Jiang Su Su behind her. "You've gone too far. Jun 'er is also responsible for this matter. How can you blame Su Su?"
Shen Rou was somewhat at a loss. She had not expected that Jiang Su Su, an unmarried daughter, would actually use such a despicable method. Xia Yan, a gentle sister-in-law, would also act like an angry tigress, baring her fangs and brandishing her claws.
"Shut up!" Xia Cheng could not bear it any longer. He pointed at Jiang Su Su's nose and scolded, "Idiot, you don't have the ability, yet you want to learn from others to harm others. Aren't you afraid that your little tricks will make you laugh your head off? You can't compare to Jiang Ruan's scheming, yet you were still schemed against by her. Idiot! "
Although Xia Yan was dissatisfied with how Xia Cheng spoke of Jiang Su Su, she had always been afraid of Xia Cheng and did not dare to speak. However, Xia Cheng's words, "I can't compare to Jiang Ruan," had provoked her. Immediately, she disregarded everything and said, "Maternal grandfather is right. I can't compare to Jiang Ruan, and I don't have any schemes. But what about Maternal grandfather's own methods? Snacks? Wasn't it still seen through by others? You made a fool of yourself in front of His Highness the Crown Prince and Eighth Highness. Is Maternal grandfather not stupid? "
Xia Yan was shocked and hurriedly covered Jiang Su Su's mouth. Jiang Su Su fiercely glared at Xia Cheng, her eyes full of resentment. Xia Cheng was extremely furious. He flew up and kicked Jiang Su Su to the side. Panting, he said, "Evil girl, get out! Tomorrow morning, take your Jiang family members and get out of my Xia fu. I will treat it as if I never had you as a daughter and never had you as a grandson! "
"Maternal grandfather!" Seeing this, Jiang Chao, who had been gloomy all along, hurriedly said, "Younger sister was just impatient for a moment. She didn't mean to contradict you. I apologize on her behalf!"
Ever since Xia Cheng had inherited the title of nobility, he had received a lot of flattery. When had he ever been contradicted? Moreover, Jiang Su Su's words had hit his sore spot. For a moment, he flew into a rage out of humiliation. He found the Jiang family extremely unpleasant to the eye. Without even looking at Jiang Chao, he sneered, "I'm afraid that she simply doesn't care about me, her maternal grandfather!" Finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left.
Jiang Su Su fell to the ground from Xia Cheng's kick. She covered her face and didn't say anything. However, her gaze was as gloomy as a poisonous snake's. Yu Ya walked in front of her and coldly said, "This matter will not be settled so easily. You harmed my Jun 'er. Within three years, he will not be able to step into the official career. If you don't give me an explanation for this, I will make sure you regret it for the rest of your life. When that time comes, don't say that I didn't give you, my niece, any face!" Finished speaking, she supported Xia Jun and left without looking at Jiang Su Su and her daughter.
At this point, it would not be good for Shen Rou to stay any longer. She smiled and said, "I will go and see how Jiao Jiao is doing." She also left. The two young masters of the Xia family were not there. Otherwise, who knew how the situation would develop.
There was no one in the room. Jiang Su Su suddenly covered her face and wailed, "Mother, mother, how could they do this to me!"
Although Xia Yan was also angry that Jiang Su Su had acted on her own and fallen into Jiang Ruan's trap, she was, after all, a piece of flesh that had fallen from her body. She also felt sorry for her current sorry state. She pulled her into her embrace, "It's Mother's fault. Originally, Mother wanted to get your maternal grandfather to help plot against Jiang Ruan. I didn't expect that Jiang Ruan would be so cunning. Su Su, it's Mother's fault. Mother should not have kept that slut. Five years ago, I should have sent her and that short-lived mother to meet the King of Hell together. It's just that my Su 'er has suffered."
"Da Mei is not simple." Jiang Chao gloomily said, "Right now, maternal grandfather is dissatisfied with Meimei, and Second Biao Shen's family is hostile towards us. What should we do now?"
"Don't worry, Chao 'er, don't worry," Xia Yan wiped away Jiang Su Su's tears, "Mother still has a way, I can definitely make that slut unable to make a comeback."
On the other side of the room, Jiang Ruan was drinking tea with Lian Qiao. She had brought two servant girls with her, but now there was only one left, which made one sigh. Seeing Lian Qiao's rare silence, Jiang Ruan said, "Do you think that I am very cruel?"
Lian Qiao stared blankly and asked in confusion, "Why does Miss say that?"
"Shu Xiang was harmed by me. I clearly had the opportunity to save her, but I did not say a word. Do you think that I am too cruel?" Jiang Ruan asked.
Lian Qiao paused, and after a moment, she understood what Jiang Ruan meant. She lowered her head and knelt in front of Jiang Ruan, "This servant has never had such thoughts. Although Shu Xiang died a miserable death, she only had herself to blame. If Miss had not done that last night, then the person who would have died in the hall today could have been Miss. This servant's master is Miss, and this servant's entire life is to serve Miss. If anything were to happen to Miss, this servant would not be happy for the rest of my life. " Her tone was light, and her words were nimble. She said each word in a straightforward manner, "Miss is not cruel, and I ask Miss not to think that you are cruel. What the Jiang fu and Xia fu are thinking now, this servant can also see a thing or two. It is already extremely difficult for Miss to continue living, so why should there be a need to differentiate between the means? It is only self-preservation that matters. They were heartless first, so how can they blame Miss for being unjust? "
"Get up." Jiang Ruan sighed softly, "The waters here are too murky, and I do not want to drag you all into it. It's just that you have also seen what happened today. From now on, such things will happen to me from time to time. It will also be beneficial for you all to be more vigilant."
Lian Qiao's nose turned sour, and she stood up in a soft voice. Ever since Jiang Ruan returned to the Jiang fu, many things had been handed over to Lu Zhu to do. It was not that she did not have any thoughts. Lu Zhu was a second-rank servant girl, but it seemed that Jiang Ruan trusted her more than a first-rank servant girl. However, after this incident at the Xia fu, with real danger in front of her, that strange feeling of hers immediately vanished into thin air. She raised her head to look at Jiang Ruan. They had lived with Jiang Ruan since she was a young lady of a noble family who was ignorant of worldly affairs. They had accompanied her all the way through the pain of losing her mother, being bullied and humiliated in the rural residence, being despised by her biological father, and parting with her elder brother. Scenes of the past flashed before their eyes. Unknowingly when, that weak and meek girl had disappeared, and in her place was the cruel, beautiful, and decisive Jiang Ruan. Such a change really made one feel gratified and sad at the same time.
"Miss, coming to the Xia fu this time, there must be another purpose." Lian Qiao said, "At present, I am afraid that Miss has already become a thorn in the side of the Xia family."
Jiang Ruan smiled slightly, "What other purpose could there be? The Eighth Prince is here, and Xia Yan rushed over anxiously. It is nothing more than to ask the Eighth Prince to be a middleman and make peace with the Li family."
"Then now …" Lian Qiao asked.
"Second sister has already angered the Xia family, for the time being, the Xia family will not stand up for the Jiang family. A married daughter is like spilled water. Will Marquis Xia give up his own grandson for a grandson? The Xia family's Second Young Mistress could not swallow this. Second sister treated her son as a fool, how could she be willing? Don't worry, the Xia family's Second Young Mistress is not an ordinary person. This time, there will be a good show to watch. "
Lian Qiao thought for a moment, "According to Fifth Yiniang, Master will marry Miss into the Li family. Miss should make plans early."
"What is there to be afraid of?" Jiang Ruan said lightly, "If the Xia family does not say anything, the Eighth Prince will not take the initiative to discuss this matter with the Li family. Even if Father personally wants to make peace with the Li family, Li Dong will not be so easily dismissed. Moreover, after this period of time, I am afraid that Li Yang will not have the life to marry a wife. "
Lian Qiao was startled. Looking at Jiang Ruan's indifferent expression, her heart skipped a beat, and she lowered her head in deep thought. Jiang Ruan smiled, "The Xia family personally invited me to visit, but it was because Mother had prepared a gift for me. I still have a big gift for them."
Lian Qiao raised her head to look at her, "Miss?"
"Regarding Li Dong's matter, I will have to trouble the Xia family's Eldest Young Mistress to make a trip," she said. As she finished speaking, she took out a letter from her bosom and handed it to Lian Qiao, looking for an opportunity to stuff it into the hands of the Xia family's Eldest Young Mistress.
Although Lian Qiao did not know why, she still accepted it. Jiang Ruan smiled slightly. The Xia family's fu was in a foul atmosphere. Shen Rou and Xia Cai already had a beginning and an end. The beautiful and moving Xia family's Eldest Young Mistress, the infinitely romantic Xia family's Second Young Master, sister-in-law and brother-in-law. She wondered if Shen Rou would be so frightened that her face would turn pale when she saw this letter.
However, it was better to use this chess move later. Jiang Ruan's gaze was somewhat regretful, "It is still raining today."
"Yes," Lian Qiao followed her words and said, "It still hasn't stopped." The spring rain should not have lasted for so long.
The day of the refugees entering the capital was getting closer and closer.
Early the next morning, Xia Cheng had indeed ordered people to prepare a horse carriage, with the attitude of chasing people away. It was said that Xia Furen had 'awoken' last night and had begged Xia Cheng for a long time, but he had not changed his mind. Perhaps he was so angry that he even vented his anger on Xia Furen.
As a result, it was completely different from when they had arrived. When they left, not a single person from the Xia family came to send them off. Jiang Li was naturally overjoyed, but Jiang Su Su and the other two people's faces were ashen. Jiang Dan was still quietly huddled in a corner. The only one who was completely unaffected by the atmosphere was Jiang Ruan.
By the time they returned to the Jiang fu, Jiang Quan had already learned the whole story from the messenger that Xia Yan had sent over. Naturally, he was angry at Jiang Su Su for not being able to accomplish anything, but more than that, he was angry at the Xia family's ruthlessness. When Xia Cheng had not yet inherited the title of nobility, he had been extremely fawning over him as his son-in-law. Now that he had the title of nobility, he also put on airs in front of him. He also heard that Li Dong had recently been searching for famous doctors in the capital at a high price. Presumably, the life of the Li family's di son had been saved, but this made things even more difficult. Thinking about all these things, Jiang Quan only felt a headache.
Seeing him like this, the manservant beside him comforted him, "Master, you haven't slept a wink all night. Do you want to rest?"
Jiang Quan waved his hand. At this moment, he was already badly battered, so how could he still be in the mood to rest?
Seeing this, the manservant muttered, "Speaking of which, it's strange. Ever since Eldest Miss returned to the fu, there has been no peace in the fu." As he spoke, he stole a glance at Jiang Quan's expression. When Jiang Quan heard those words, his body stiffened. His entire person seemed to be stunned for a moment, and his brows gradually wrinkled. After a moment, he suddenly fiercely slammed the table, "Evil star!"
The manservant jumped in fright and retreated to one side, mumbling to himself. However, Jiang Quan suddenly recalled that after Zhao Mei's death, there had been a wandering Taoist priest who had passed by who had performed a divination for Jiang Ruan. He had said that she was an inauspicious person, born to bring misfortune to her husband and mother. However, Jiang Quan was not a superstitious person, and did not pay much attention to matters of ghosts and monsters. It was just that at that time, Zhao Mei had just died, and Xia Cheng had inherited the title of nobility. He had repeatedly urged him to promote Xia Yan as the official wife. At that time, he also had the intention to do so. Thinking that Jiang Su Su and Jiang Chao had been wronged for so many years for no good reason, he had followed the Taoist priest's advice and placed Jiang Ruan in the rural residence. Firstly, it was to let Xia Yan feel at ease. Secondly, as long as he did not see Jiang Ruan, he would not think of that hateful Zhao Mei.
Now, after hearing the manservant's reminder, Jiang Quan suddenly reacted. Ever since Jiang Ruan had returned to the fu, the Jiang fu had indeed been in constant turmoil. First, Jiang Su Su had mysteriously lost her reputation, then Jiang Chao had failed in the imperial examination and had his finger chopped off. Now, there was enmity between the Li Dong family and the Xia family. All these things seemed to have a subtle relationship with Jiang Ruan. However, relying on her own strength, it was naturally impossible for her to achieve such a stage. She did not have that kind of scheming, nor did she have that kind of means. However, there was something fishy about the matter. The only reasonable explanation was that, as the Taoist priest had said, she was truly a lone star with natural ill luck.
Jiang Quan clenched his fists tightly. He had originally thought that having one more daughter would give Xia Yan and the other two a bargaining chip. Who would have known that this was an evil spirit that had come to claim his life? Since that was the case, he could only eliminate her!
The manservant had followed Jiang Quan for many years. Seeing Jiang Quan's expression, he quietly withdrew from the room and left without saying anything.
When Jiang Ruan returned to Ruan Ju, the first thing she did was to dismiss the few servant girls that Xia Yan had previously sent over. She said, "Mother has promised that I will send you back. You can return to Yan Hua Yuan on your own."
The few servant girls looked at each other in dismay. One of them plucked up her courage and said, "Eldest Miss, Furen has sent us to serve you. We wish to stay by your side."
However, Jiang Ruan did not seem to have heard anything. She instructed Lian Qiao, who was beside her, "Oh yes, when you have time, make a trip to the Xia fu and help me bury Shu Xiang's body. After all, she has followed me for a while. She cannot end up being buried in a mass grave to be fed to the wolves. "
The few servant girls stared blankly at her words and looked at Jiang Ruan. Sure enough, Shu Xiang's figure was no longer by her side. Lian Qiao said, "This servant understands. Shu Xiang died so tragically. Miss, please do not take it to heart. She only has herself to blame. "
Jiang Ruan smiled slightly and looked at the few servant girls. "What did you say just now?"
"Nothing." The servant girl hurriedly replied. She lowered her head and did not dare to look at Jiang Ruan again.
Jiang Ruan left, satisfied.
In Yan Hua Yuan, the travel-worn Xia Yan had just returned to her room when she heard Li momo come over and say, "Furen, Master's servant, Wan Cai, has something to report."
"Let him in." Xia Yan took the tea that Lin Lang had handed over and sat down on the carved wooden chair in the room.
When Wan Cai entered, he said to Xia Yan, "Furen."
Xia Yan waved her hand. "If you have something to say, speak frankly. How is the matter that I entrusted you with?"
Wan Cai nodded. "It has been settled. Master believes that Eldest Miss is a lone star, but he does not know what to do now."
Xia Yan's lips curled into a cold smile. "Since this is the case, tell Master that in a few days, a very intelligent wandering Taoist priest will be coming to the capital. Recently, there has been a lot of trouble in the Jiang fu. I would like to invite this expert to come here and perform a ritual to get rid of the bad luck in the fu."
Wan Cai rolled his eyes and said, "I understand."
"You may leave." Xia Yan waved her hand tiredly.
After Wan Cai left, Li momo stepped forward and gently massaged Xia Yan's shoulders. "Furen, are we going to use the previous method again?"
"We have to find an excuse." Xia Yan narrowed her eyes. "There has been a lot of trouble in the Jiang fu these days. If we can push all the blame onto Jiang Ruan, everyone's eyes will not always be on Su 'er and Chao' er. On the contrary, Jiang Ruan's reputation will go down in history. This is the best way to clear Su 'er and Chao' er's reputations. "
Li momo laughed. "Furen is brilliant. No matter how brilliant Eldest Miss is, it will be difficult for her to fight against public opinion. Moreover, Master is already suspicious of her, so we just have to do it boldly."
"In order to prove that these words are not false, in a few days it will be Mother's birthday. Arrange for it to be on that day, so that the Taoist priest can also pray for blessings with Mother. In front of so many people, he can prove that Jiang Ruan is an evil star. In this lifetime, Jiang Ruan can forget about making a comeback."
"Furen, are we still looking for the Taoist priest from five years ago?" Li momo asked.
Xia Yan's hand paused in the middle of her forehead, and she laughed fiercely. "Naturally, the words of an old friend are the most convincing. Five years ago, I was able to send her to the rural residence, and five years later, I will naturally be able to do the same. It's just that five years ago, Master told me to hide this matter. Now, I want the whole world to know that Jiang Ruan is a lone star who brings bad luck to her parents! "
Five years ago, in order to find an excellent excuse to send Jiang Ruan to the rural residence, she bribed a Taoist priest to make Jiang Ruan an ominous star. Originally, she wanted Jiang Ruan to die in the rural residence, but she did not expect that she would actually survive and return to the capital ahead of time. As early as when she returned to the Xia fu, she had left a trick up her sleeve. If things did not work out, she would destroy Jiang Ruan. In short, Jiang Ruan had made Jiang Su Su suffer, so Jiang Ruan could forget about escaping unscathed. Wan Cai had already worked for her a few years ago, so blowing wind and blowing grass in front of Jiang Quan was a simple matter. Moreover, Jiang Quan had always disliked Jiang Ruan. If there was even the slightest sign of trouble, the first person he would suspect would be Jiang Ruan.
No matter how Jiang Ruan schemed, because she was not favored by Jiang Quan, she was destined to never have a chance to win in this battle!
The Old Jiang Madame had just regained consciousness a few days ago, and her body was slightly better after recuperating. However, she was, after all, in her later years, and was not as healthy as when she was young. Illness came like a landslide, and in just a few short days, she had become a lot more haggard, and her face also showed signs of aging.
Du Juan walked in with a bowl of medicine and gave Cai Que, who was guarding the Old Jiang Madame, a look. Cai Que hurriedly stood up and smiled at the Old Jiang Madame, who was looking out the window in a daze, "Old Madame, drink the medicine while it's hot."
The Old Jiang Madame withdrew her gaze and looked at the bowl in Du Juan's hands. She coldly said, "Why do I still need to eat medicine? I think this person can't wait for me to die!"
Cai Que jumped in fright and hurriedly said, "Old Madame, what are you saying? Everyone hopes that you will live a long, long life. For the sake of Second Young Master, you must also be healthy."
"Chao 'er," The Old Jiang Madame's gaze suddenly deepened, "He takes after his mother's temperament. I originally thought that he was a good person, but now he is arrogant and conceited. He is the same as his younger sister, both short-sighted. "
Cai Que was startled. The Old Madame had evaluated Jiang Chao and Jiang Su Su in front of the two of them, and they did not know how to respond.
The Old Jiang Madame glanced at Cai Que and reached out to take the bowl of medicine from Du Juan's tray. She raised her head and drank it cleanly. The medicine was really too bitter. She closed her eyes and furrowed her brows tightly. After a long while, her expression gradually relaxed.
"Old Madame, it will be your birthday in a few days. Madame said that she would personally make arrangements for you." Du Juan saw that the Old Jiang Madame's expression had somewhat eased and cautiously opened her mouth.
"It's just a cover-up." The Old Jiang Madame sneered, "Does she think that I don't know what she's planning?"
Cai Que and Du Juan looked at each other. The Old Jiang Madame had always been serious and composed, but after this illness, it was as if she had changed into a different person. She was especially dissatisfied with Xia Yan and her two sons. They only heard the Old Jiang Madame say, "But this time, I'm afraid that her calculations will be in vain. Eldest Miss is not an ordinary person."
Cai Que and Du Juan lowered their heads and did not make a sound, but they naturally had other thoughts in their hearts.
For the next few days, there was a pitter-patter of light rain in the capital, and the dark clouds never seemed to leave the sky above the capital. Even the food stored in the manors of the rich and powerful had begun to grow moldy and damp; naturally, there was no need to say more about the poor.
However, the newly built zhuangyuan's manor in the capital was washed by the rain until it shone brightly. Even the gloomy weather could not disperse the joy on the signboard of the Liu manor. In the study, Liu Min stood in front of the window, lost in thought as he watched the rainwater dripping from the eaves.
It had been a long time since it had rained for such a long time in the capital. It did not appear to be very heavy, but the pitter-patter was incessant. The water level of the moat had risen considerably, and even in the newly built zhuangyuan's manor, one could still feel a trace of gloomy dampness in the room.
The maidservant behind him thoughtfully offered him a cup of ginger tea, "Young Master, drink some to warm your body."
Liu Min turned around and took the teacup from the maidservant's hands, lightly taking a sip. He was not very old, but he had a deep and aloof pride. Compared to the impetuous disciples of the noble families in the capital, he was like a cool and refreshing bluestone. Just looking at him made one feel respect from the bottom of one's heart.
He asked, "In the past few days, have there been any letters from me?"
The maidservant was startled and shook her head. "No."
A trace of disappointment flashed across Liu Min's face. Ever since he had been appointed zhuangyuan, he had not seen that mysterious person again.
At this time, Liu Furen walked in with quick steps. In her hand was a gilded invitation. "Ah Min, why are you dressed so thinly?"
Liu Min smiled and shook his head. Seeing the invitation in her hand, he asked, "Mother, what is this?"
"The wife of Minister Jiang from the capital sent an invitation. She invites us to her family's old madam's birthday banquet." Liu Furen was a bit hesitant. "I originally wanted to refuse, but now that you are also a person of the bureaucracy, it would be good to have someone to take care of you. This invitation is written very clearly. It says that we have just arrived in the capital and have come to pay a special visit. Mother thinks that it is only a birthday banquet. There is nothing to worry about if we go. " She thought of something and suddenly smiled. "Moreover, there will be many noble young ladies attending this birthday banquet. If there is one you like, Mother will keep an eye out for you. You are not young anymore and should worry about your marriage."
"Mother," Liu Min was a bit helpless. "I only want to start a career and have no thoughts of starting a family."
"Nonsense." Liu Furen glared at her. "Mother still wants to hold grandchildren." Finishing, she looked at Liu Min and asked, "But Min 'er, do you think Mother should go to this birthday banquet?"
Seeing her mother's expectant gaze, Liu Min could not bring herself to refuse. She smiled and said, "If Mother wants to go, then naturally you should go."
