In her past life, she didnât even qualify to attend the spring banquet.
Every year, it was either on the eve of the spring banquet that Su Yurou would embarrass her so much that she couldnât face people or Su Dingheng would scold her severely, making it impossible for her to leave the house.
This year⦠Neither of them would be able to stop her!
Inside Shaonian Court, Su Dingheng was lying on a pair of delicate knees. Liu Shulan had lit his favorite bamboo leaf incense and gently massaged his temples.
Seeing him open his eyes slightly, Liu Shulan served him tea with her soft hands and brought it to Su Dinghengâs mouth. After he finished drinking, he reached out and touched her tender, delicate hand. His heart stirred uncontrollably, and a touch of affection appeared in his eyes. âLanâer!â
He turned over, pressing Liu Shulan beneath him. At first, Liu Shulan felt shy, but she soon matched his eagerness, allowing him to remove his clothes as he sought fulfillment from her.
After half an hour had passed, Su Dingheng felt greatly satisfied. He carefully helped Liu Shulan dress and held her in his arms, full of tenderness. âAfter all these years, youâre the one who understands me the best, Lanâer.â
âMarquis has treated me so well, showing me favor for so many years. Even though you are in the Marquisâs Manor, your heart has always been with me. Naturally, I will serve you diligently to bring you happiness.â Liu Shulan had an even more charming appearance than Su Yurou. Her eyes were so charming that they could mesmerize men.
Whenever he met her gaze, Su Dinghengâs rationality seemed to vanish, and he wished to offer her the best the world had to offer.
After Liu Shulan satisfied him, she brought up the topic, âFor grand events like the spring banquet, I may not personally arrange everything for Marquis, but 1â11 make sure to dress our daughter beautifully. Iâll remind her to not bring any disgrace upon you, Marquis.â
Su Dingheng playfully called Su Yurou over and planted a kiss on her cheek. âRouâer would never bring disgrace to me. Sheâs a proper young lady from a noble family. Whenever I bring her to events, she always adds luster to my image. Itâs only Yingxue who truly vexes me!â
Mentioning Su Yingxue, the happiness Su Dingheng had felt from Liu Shulan instantly faded. His dark brows furrowed. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Liu Shulan then summoned Su Yurou and gently stroked Su Dinghengâs chest. âCertainly, itâs Rouâer who hasnât performed well at home, which is why the relationship between Marquis and Eldest Young Miss has become so strained. Rouâer, Mother canât bear to see you unhappy. Have you upset your sister again?â
Su Yurouâs innocent face appeared timid, her eyes filled with grievances. Apologetically, she said, âItâs all Rouâerâs fault for failing to gain sisterâs favor. Mother, Iâll give sister all the gold and silver jewelry youâve given me to please her.â
âGood child, thatâs very good.â Liu Shulan patted Su Yurouâs hand and praised her.
Su Dinghengâs anger grew upon hearing this. He kicked the cushion away and cursed Su Yingxue, âWho does she think she is?! She wants my Rouâer to please her? She should be the one pleasing Rouâer!â
âMarquis, Eldest Young Miss is the legitimate daughter with noble status. How could she be the one pleasing Rouâer? Our Rouâer canât endure treatment from Eldest Young Miss like that. Even if Eldest Young Miss wanted Rouâer to be her servant, 1 would properly guide Rouâer on how to serve her.â Liu Shulanâs eyes were sincere, brimming with tears, portraying a gentle and caring demeanor that would touch anyoneâs heart.
Su Dinghengâs heart softened at her words.. âHow could 1 bear to let our flesh and blood serve her? Su Yingxue doesnât even consider if sheâs worthy! What legitimate daughter? If it wasnât for her slut motherâs reputation, would I have married her to trick the old master into passing the title to me? Otherwise, you would have returned with me to the Marquisâs Manor and lived a comfortable life!â
