After rebirth, dribbling and leaving

With the addition of Liao Wengpo and her two grandchildren, Su Qingling felt more at ease living her life. However, as her grandmother was back, she naturally had to go back to see her!

On September 16th, the ancestor of Xin'an Marquis Mansion finally returned!

In the morning, it was Yuanning who came to deliver the message to the Marquis, saying that the ancestors had already entered the city and should be here in half an hour!

Liu Yunjia hurriedly took the masters of the first and second wives to the side door of the Marquis' Mansion to wait!

All the servants in the mansion are in their positions, waiting for the old lady to come back and welcome her!

As the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion, Liu Yunjia dressed up specially today. She wore a hydrangea-colored satin gown that flowed like water, and a folded skirt with hibiscus purple!

She had her hair tied up in a bun with auspicious clouds on her head, and accessorized with a golden hairpin with a phoenix pattern dotted with kingfisher feathers, and a few mustard-colored pearl slits dotted with the same color as the dress. She had a red gold comb dotted with kingfisher feathers on her head, and a pair of transparent jade-colored earrings on her ears!

Su Qingling looked at her mother's outfit today. She found her mother's temperament elegant, dignified and low-key. Even if her grandmother wanted to be picky, she would not be too harsh on the surface!

Because of her pregnancy, she had gained a lot of weight and could not wear her usual clothes. She wore a small jacket in the color of acacia with a pleated Ruyi moon skirt. Because the weather was a bit chilly, she also wore a long gown with Ruyi cloud pattern on the outside!

Her hair was tied into a bun, with two gold hairpins inlaid with fish-eye-sized pearls, and two small teardrop-shaped red coral earrings in her ears!

In such an occasion, this legitimate granddaughter dressed like this, neither ostentatious nor petty!

Dong Churou was wearing a madder-colored long skirt and a long jacket with cloud-patterned edges. She was holding Ping Ge'er's hand and standing behind the eldest wife with a serious look!

Next to her was Li Fangfang, who was wearing a light yellow top and a light-colored striped skirt. She had a nonchalant look on her face, as if it had nothing to do with her!

Today, Tang from the second house had her hair covered with pearl hairpins, and she wore a spring-colored outer gown with a pipa-collared collar and an embroidered skirt. She was covered in jewels and looked as if she was the mistress of the marquis's mansion!

She looked back at Li Fangfang several times. How could her daughter-in-law be so unsociable? Why were people from your second house hanging out with the first house?

Su Qingya was so excited that her grandmother came back. She thought back to the time when her grandmother was especially fond of her before she went to the ancestral temple to chant sutras for her grandfather's soul.

However, for some unknown reason, suddenly one day, the family claimed that my grandmother dreamed of the old grandfather every night, asking her to go to the ancestral temple to pray for his soul that died in battle!

Logically speaking, it was said at that time that grandmother would stay in the ancestral temple to accompany the old marquis’ tablet. I don’t know why she suddenly returned this time!

However, it would be of great benefit to the second branch if grandmother could come back. After all, grandmother had doted on the second branch since she was young. If grandfather had not been suppressing her all the time, the title of marquis would have gone to my father!

Su Qingya was dressed very festively today. Her grandmother's return was a big day for the second house. Although she didn't have red and green hair like her mother, she had thoughtfully combed her hair into a double bun, a new style she had worn when she was a girl.

She wore a hairpin with butterflies and cordyceps flowers, and a lifelike carved magnolia hairpin. She also wore a cloud satin skirt with hundreds of gold butterflies and flowers. On her wrist, she also wore the transparent and flawless jade bracelet that her grandmother had given her. She looked like a riot of colors and was extremely eye-catching!

Since Su Qingli was a concubine's daughter, she naturally did not have so many clothes. Her mother Liu also did not allow her to dress up too much. She just wanted her to dress decently to avoid being hated by others!

Following closely behind were the two concubines!

The men had been waiting on the steps in front of the side door, ready to go forward to greet the person as soon as he arrived!

Finally, a low-key carriage stopped outside the side door, and there was no movement inside for a long time!

The two brothers of Lord Su followed closely behind and got off the carriage at the back. They approached and asked:

"Mom, we're home now. Let me help you get out of the car!"

Then I heard a hum from inside, and a fairly clear female voice came out:

"What? I can't even enter the main gate, and you guys went to so much trouble to welcome your parents, but you let them in through the side door. Don't I, the old lady of the Marquis' Mansion, have any dignity left?"

Su Mingzhe was about to speak when he heard his elder brother's voice become colder:

"Mother, if you don't want to be laughed at, then let's go in properly. You came back this time to see your granddaughter off to get married, not to cause trouble for her!"

"You unfilial son, is this how you make your mother sad? You are such an ungrateful person!"

The voice in the carriage revealed a bit of anger, a bit of resentment, and a bit of unwillingness!

"Mother, you probably forgot the teachings left by father. I am unfilial and can only follow father's teachings! Please forgive me, mother!"

Seeing that there was no room for maneuver, the people in the carriage remained silent for a long time. Su Mingzhe had no choice but to step forward and persuade them:

"Mother, my elder brother asked you to return to the capital to marry Ya'er, which is against the ancestral teachings. If you embarrass my elder brother here, I'm afraid you won't be able to stay for two days before you have to return to the ancestral temple!"

But after a moment, there was movement in the carriage. The curtain was lifted, and an old woman in her fifties dressed as a servant came out first. She jumped off the carriage swiftly, put the stool on the side, and reached out to help the old ancestor inside!

A well-maintained hand stretched out. The hand did not look young, but it was fleshy and had some age spots, which could not be seen unless one looked carefully!

Then, an old lady with white hair came out with her back straight. The first thing you see is the smile of a Bodhisattva, and she looks like a plump old lady!

Although she was smiling, the smile did not reach her eyes. She was like a masked doll, making it impossible to tell what she was thinking.

No one could have imagined that this old lady was the person who was talking in the car just now!

"Zhe'er, it's been five or six years since we last met. You've made great progress now, even reaching the fourth rank. You haven't forgotten your mother's expectations of you!"

He ignored the eldest son and directly greeted the younger son. Anyone who saw this would feel unhappy!

Su Mingyuan did not have any extra emotions, he just maintained his original expression, neither sad nor happy, and walked aside with his two sons!

Su Mingzhe and Su Junjie walked on either side of the old lady, chatting and laughing as they walked towards the side door!

Liu Yunjia led everyone to greet the old ancestor with a smile. Old Madam Su took a look and said with a fake smile:

"Ok!"

Tang smiled and walked past Liu Yunjia and said:

"Mother, I am glad to see you at last. Your daughter-in-law and children have been talking about you all the time!"

Madam Su then revealed a genuine smile and said in a falsely scolding tone:

"I'm afraid you guys are just paying lip service to me!"
