After rebirth, dribbling and leaving

For some unknown reason, ever since Duke Liang died on the battlefield, this old Madam Liu no longer had any contact with her family!

The current eldest princess is the wife of a duke, and she never mentions her elder sister-in-law in front of outsiders, which is really strange!

However, this is the family affair of the two dukes' houses, and outsiders are naturally not allowed to guess!

Tang wanted to argue with her sister-in-law, but she refused to listen. Not only did she not gain any benefit, but she was also very angry!

Soon, someone came in with a message that the old lady had woken up and ordered dinner to be served!

Because it was a family banquet, there were only a dozen people including the masters of the first and second wives combined. Since ancient times, concubines were not allowed to sit at the table, so men and women each occupied a table, which was placed in the main hall of the main courtyard!

Liu Yunjia was very attentive to the banquet. After all, she was the old lady of the Marquis's mansion and the master's mother. The food on the west side of the table was mainly based on the old lady's taste.

There are braised pork tenderloin, eggplant, cucumber, liver tip, cherry meat, fried oyster mushroom, soft fried shrimp, eight-treasure tofu...

Roast duck is a must, braised deer tendons, sweet-scented osmanthus shark's fin, and eight-treasure chicken are also the old lady's favorites, and they are indispensable. There are also several soups, various dumplings, jade bean cakes, and small sugar-coated steamed bread...

Old Madam Liu was still sitting at the table, complaining, but after taking a glance, she could only stop talking and smiled awkwardly:

"My eldest brother's wife, you really put in a lot of effort. However, I'm afraid that the food on the table will cost a lot of money. Although our mansion is large and powerful, we must be careful with our spending. If we want the family to prosper, being the mistress of the house is of utmost importance..."

After saying that, he glanced at his eldest daughter-in-law with a fake smile and said:

"I know you are a confident person, but no matter how strong the foundation of our mansion is, it cannot withstand uncontrolled spending!"

It is of course far-fetched to say this, but it is just to intimidate my eldest daughter-in-law. Although I have not been away for many years, I am the elder in the mansion after all. I have thousands of reasons to teach you a lesson!

Liu Yunjia only responded calmly: "Thank you mother for your reminder, daughter-in-law knows!"

Having hit a soft nail, Old Madam Liu stopped pestering and smiled again, saying in a friendly manner:

"Everyone, don't be shy, let's eat first!"

The old lady sat at a table with her son and grandson, while Liu Yun's family sat at a table with the female relatives, so as to avoid the annoying sight of the mother-in-law all the time!

Su Mingzhe waited for the servant to cut the eight-treasure chicken into pieces, and smiled as he used a spoon to put the pieces, including the skin, into his mother's fine porcelain bowl with lotus edges and lotus patterns, and said:

"Mom, try your favorite eight-treasure chicken and see how it tastes."

He spoke as if he had done it himself!

Old Madam Liu looked at the Eight Treasure Chicken sent by her dearest second son and smiled:

"Okay, I'll try it!" He took a small bite, chewed it carefully, his eyes lit up, and he immediately praised it:

"Mm, it's delicious, it's really delicious, it still tastes the same as it did back then!"

Then, a trace of sadness appeared on his face, and he said sadly:

"Alas, what a pity! Ever since I went to the ancestral temple to pray for your father, I, your mother, have never tasted this eight-treasure chicken again!"

Su Lijie saw that his grandmother's start seemed a bit bad, so he quickly and cheerfully took the serving chopsticks, picked up a piece of fried shrimp and passed it over:

"Grandma, please try this soft fried shrimp. It's crunchy and delicious, just the right amount of flavor!"

Old Madam Liu looked at the shrimps handed over by her grandson. She didn't want to turn her face away, but she was interrupted just as she started to talk. She was naturally unhappy, so she just nodded and lowered her head to eat!

Ever since Su Mingyuan learned that the old lady was coming back to marry his granddaughter, he knew that there would be a period of chaos in the mansion and unrest in the family. He had already made up his mind not to bother the old lady no matter how much trouble she made. After the third lady returned home in three days, he would send the old lady back to the ancestral temple according to his father's instructions!

But Old Mrs. Su was just thinking in her heart, today is only the first day, so she should eat peacefully first, and it won’t be too late to talk about it after she has rested well in the next two days. Anyway, she will not stay in the ancestral temple anyway!

Although Su Junjie didn't know why his grandmother insisted on guarding the ancestral temple, he knew it was not a simple matter. Now that she is back, he should make use of her as much as possible and try to get some benefits for the second house!

So, Su Junjie changed his usual gloomy look and frequently picked up food for Old Lady Su, acting like a virtuous grandson to the fullest!

Old Madam Su was already particularly close to the people from the second house, so she was naturally delighted that her grandson was so understanding. It seemed that if she wanted to stay, she had to start with the second house!

Although Tang was sitting at another table, she would lean forward from time to time to chat with the old lady. Su Qingya showed her deep admiration and paid special attention to the old lady!

Compared to the people in the second room, who were all very enthusiastic except Li Fangfang, the people in the first room were much more normal. They ate quietly and occasionally made eye contact with each other.

Even Ping Ge'er, who had just learned to eat, sat close to his mother and aunt, holding his own small rice spoon, and struggled with the soft and sticky food in his bowl!

During the meal, the old lady drank a glass of her daughter's red wine and said with a smile:

"It is said that daughter red wine is buried by the father for his daughter, and it will not be opened until the day of her wedding! Zhe'er, I wonder if you have taken out the wine you bought?"

Su Mingzhe said hurriedly: "Mother, the wedding date is still a month away, so I am not in a hurry. I just want to get it in a few days. If you want to drink it, I can come over now!"

Mrs. Liu saw her son was so filial and said with a smile:

"I'm not craving for that glass of wine, I'm just feeling a little guilty because I didn't do anything to help my granddaughter get married!

Su Junjie said hurriedly:

"Grandma, you are so biased. You didn't even come back for my wedding!"

"You naughty monkey, you don't need to say anything. When you got married, your grandmother was ill and couldn't travel far, so she didn't come back to attend your wedding. Don't blame your grandmother!"

Su Junjie was joking, of course. He couldn't take his words seriously. Who knew what was going on behind the scenes? Even her granddaughter could come back, her beloved grandson. A person like the mistress would naturally be unable to sit still!

However, at the dinner table, he didn't dare to talk nonsense and only said good things!

After the meal, everyone stayed in Wanshou Hall to drink tea. Because they didn't like the people from the first house, but they also wanted to ease the relationship with their son so that they could stay smoothly, so Madam Liu didn't do anything to embarrass them!

The whole family was talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very good. Only the old lady suddenly saw Su Qingling was pregnant. Because she didn't know what happened to her recently, in order to show her concern for her grandchildren as a grandmother, she asked with a loving smile:

"In the blink of an eye, Ling'er is already married and pregnant. Time flies, and time is unforgiving!"
