After rebirth, dribbling and leaving

The moonlight is like water, pouring down on the earth. The moon on August 15th is especially bright, and the treetops, branches, and green leaves are all pouring with silver light!

Because there is a second branch in Xin'an Marquis' Mansion, and they need to worship the moon together during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Liu Yunjia brought her daughter back to the mansion!

As the mistress of the house, she arranged for the maids to prepare the sacrifices according to the custom!

Place the altar in the direction of the moon, arrange the offerings, light the red candles, and lay the mats.

Liu Yunjia led everyone to sit at the worship seat, and Su Wenjie handed over a prayer in praise of the moon. Using the moonlight and candlelight, he recited to the moon:

The Han spirit of Yanling gathers at the South Gate

Worship the moon and pray for blessings

The toad bathes in water, the light shimmers

Stars and misty leaves

The wrinkled ripples are open and open

Guanghan Yaotai Heaven and Earth

Su'e stands still, and the red osmanthus flowers are scattered

The Jade Rabbit is bright and the Silver Toad is busy

Su Family Children Dressing Up

The clinking of glasses and the feasting of cups

Candlelight flickers, cigarette smoke lingers

Looking up and bowing to the god, never forgetting to offer sacrifices

Colorful clothes in the wind, silk sleeves fluttering

Protect my country and enjoy good weather

Sincerely offer your respects and pray for your blessing

The sacrifice is complete, pray for the night light and feast

Then put the prayer words and moon paper in a small basin in front of the table and burn them.

Participants go to the memorial table in order of age, kneel, burn incense (three or one stick), pray silently for their wishes, and then pay homage to the Moon God.

The ceremony continues until all female participants have finished worshipping. The praise song is sung: "The ceremony is over". At this point, the Mid-Autumn Festival Moon Worship Ceremony is complete. The sacrificial table is removed and a Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet is set up under the moon. Everyone enjoys the moon and feasts together.

Lord Su and the Second Master of the Su family were not present at this year's banquet. Although the Second Master Su was only a fourth-rank honorary official, he also went to the enclosure!

In fact, Tang Lishi also wanted to go with them, but unfortunately the officials' families had a fixed number according to their ranks, so she had to give up!

Su Wenjie is now a fifth-rank director of the Ministry of Clan Affairs. His daily affairs are not easy, but he enjoys them!

He is the most senior man at the family dinner today, followed by the second wife's legitimate son Su Junjie, and the illegitimate son Su Lianjie. The women, except for the mistress Liu Yunjia, are the second wife Tang Lishi, the eldest daughter-in-law of the first wife Dong Churou, the eldest daughter-in-law of the second wife Li Fangfang, and then Su Qingling, Su Qingya, and Su Qingli!

The aunt had no right to sit down, so she had food brought to her and went back to her room!

In fact, people really don't agree with each other. The people in the second house are not on the same page with the first house from the bottom of their hearts. No matter how affectionate they are on the surface, the jealousy and alienation in their bones make people lose all good impression on them!

Su Qingling didn't want to go back to her parents' home, but her mother felt sorry for her living alone and insisted that she go back with them. Su Qingling just wanted to say that she was not alone, but she didn't want to refuse her mother's kindness, so she followed!

At the table, she sensed two malicious intentions that could not be ignored!

When I looked up, I saw Su Qingya's fleeting look of jealousy!

Su Qingling just felt that Su Qingya was mentally ill. She was jealous of a divorced woman. How dissatisfied was she with herself!

As I was guessing, I heard a pretentious voice:

"Aunt, why did you let my elder sister come back? Although she is divorced, but on this great day of reunion, letting a divorced woman attend, this... Aren't you afraid that it will cause any disturbance to our mansion?"

Su Wenjie's face suddenly turned cold, no longer as warm and gentle as usual!

Dong Churou didn't wait for her mother-in-law to speak, she stopped working and said coldly:

"The third lady probably feels that the food is not to her liking. If you don't want to eat, you can go back to the kitchen and eat by yourself!"

Su Qingya didn't expect that the eldest sister-in-law would angrily rebuke her with just one sentence. She was naturally unconvinced and refused to believe it. She rolled her eyes and said strangely:

"Sister-in-law, don't be sarcastic. Isn't what I said the truth? What married girl would stay at her parents' home on this day of reunion? Wouldn't she be embarrassed to tell others about it?"

Su Qingli was about to pick up some pickled bamboo shoots with chopsticks when she heard what her elder sister said. She nodded in agreement: "That's right!"

Then Su Qingling laughed and glanced at her:

"Third sister, this is really like a monk scolding a Taoist priest - you are too nosy! I ate your rice and spent your money. If you are smart, just eat your food honestly. If you feel uncomfortable, please get up and go back to your room to eat!"

Everyone was surprised. Although the eldest daughter of the Su family was lively when she was a girl, she was very soft-hearted and never had conflicts with her brothers and sisters. It was unexpected that she was so ruthless to others as soon as she spoke. It was really surprising!

Su Lijie frowned slightly but didn't say anything!

Instead, Su Qingli glared back:

"Big sister, when did you become so vulgar? Even if you were divorced, you are still the daughter of our Su family. If others hear it, they will say that your aunt didn't teach her well, right?"

Su Qingling looked at the thirteen-year-old concubine's daughter from the second house. She had always been the Third Lady's yes-man, so naturally she had to protect her legitimate sister everywhere!

He glanced at Su Junjie, pretended not to hear, and took the wine glass to drink with his elder brother!

He smiled. It seemed that the second house still didn't see the situation clearly. Second aunt was involved in the scheme to frame the first house, but because the emperor was hunting in the south, he had no time to deal with them!

All of them, cling to the first wife's body to drink her blood and eat her flesh, yet they are still not satisfied. Each of them is like a leech attached to the bones, wishing to get rid of all the people in the first wife so that their second wife can inherit the title!

It’s a pity that ever since the young master found out the truth from Wang Yan, my father has had some plans in mind!

The eldest wife is only pretending to be nice on the surface now, so they can forget about getting any influence from her!

"It seems that the third and fourth girls are very unhappy about your eldest sister returning home...!"

As the mistress, Liu Yunjia was suppressing her anger, and her words were soft but without a trace of warmth!

Su Qingya hurriedly explained with a smile: "Aunt, Ya'er has no ill intentions. I just heard rumors that if a divorced woman returns to her parents' home for dinner on reunion night, she might bring bad luck to her family!"

"Oh? I don't know where this rumor came from? Or did you make it up yourself, Third Miss? Another thing, your eldest sister wanted to divorce herself, so how come you said she became an abandoned woman?"

Liu Yunjia's voice suddenly slammed the chopsticks on the table:

"Everyone else knows that your elder sister is the victim, and they speak up for her everywhere. But how come you guys are saying that she is the wrong person in every way? I want to ask, what is your intention?"

Seeing their aunt suddenly get angry, the two were so scared that they quickly stopped talking and lowered their heads. They never thought that their aunt's anger could be so terrible!

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Su Junjie quickly rebuked the two of them:

"You two are so ignorant. How come you have never heard of the principle of "prosperity together, prosperity together, and adversity together"? How can it be good for you to frame your elder sister like this? Why don't you apologize to your elder sister right away!"

It was openly referring to the two younger sisters, but the hidden meaning was that Su Qingling's divorce had a bad reputation and had implicated the sisters in the Xin'an Marquis' Mansion!

Su Qingling's eyes darkened. Su Junjie was scolding her openly but mocking her secretly. She was afraid that her and the divorced woman's names would be mentioned many times by them in the future!

Su Junjie's words carried a hint of oppression. Su Qingya was dissatisfied and kept muttering:

"Why should you apologize? You're already married and have paid back so much dowry. Now you're coming back in disgrace. Are you going to marry again and ask the Marquis's Mansion to supplement your dowry?"

Although the voice was low, Su Wenjie, a warrior, heard it clearly, and his eyes were full of fierceness!
