Shengjing Noble

Chapter 438 Heartless

"I didn't know the whole story just now, but now I know. It's true that you went too far. Any prince with a temper would definitely be angry and embarrassed. It's too hurtful to her self-esteem."

"Okay, stop talking. I've already apologized. What else do you want?"

"Well, since the Seventh Prince has forgiven you, then I will naturally forgive you, young lady. All right, everything is ready, young lady, go eat something first, otherwise it will be noon soon and you will definitely be too hungry to bear it."

"Ah."

Su Lanyin looked at herself in the mirror, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

It must be said that Cuizhu’s skills have always been amazing, not only in dressing but also in makeup. She is an expert in this field.

Su Lanyin always felt that this girl had artistic talent. If she had discovered it earlier, she should have let Cuizhu learn to paint.

When I have time later, I will definitely find a master for her.

……

For the whole morning, Su Lanyin followed Lu Wanjun to greet guests, and then performed the coming-of-age ceremony.

After finally waiting until lunchtime, she had to go to each table to serve tea and continue dealing with the situation.

After the whole round, she was so hungry that her stomach was sticking to her back.

Fortunately, Cuizhu, the clever little girl, stole a few snacks and put them in her sleeves, and quickly stuffed them into her mouth while she was drinking water.

The two were hiding aside and eating secretly when they heard a notification behind them.

"King Xiaoyao has arrived!"

Su Lanyin didn't swallow any of it and started coughing.

She turned around and saw Fu Wuyang walking in from outside the yard, accompanied by a pretty woman.

"Welcome King Xiaoyao..."

Everyone hurried forward to greet her, and Lu Wanjun even turned around and winked at Su Lanyin.

She quickly turned around and drank some water to wash down the snack, then quickly walked to the front.

"Your servant respectfully welcomes King Xiaoyao."

Fu Wuyang just glanced at her lightly, then walked straight inside with the woman beside him and sat in the VIP seat.

This was the first time that King Xiaoyao did not give Su Lanyin face in front of everyone.

Everyone looked at each other, their eyes filled with curiosity for a moment.

Lu Wanjun hurriedly broke the awkward atmosphere, asked everyone to take a seat, and then urged them to serve the food.

Su Lanyin wanted to dodge, but was caught by Lu Wanjun, who forcibly took her to the table where Fu Wuyang was sitting to serve tea.

She couldn't resist and had to go ahead with it.

"Thank you all for coming to attend my coming-of-age ceremony. I salute you all."

After saying that, he drank the tea in one gulp.

Everyone raised their glasses and nodded politely at her.

Only Fu Wuyang sat in his seat without even looking at her, making it clear that he didn't even bother to pretend.

Lu Wanjun nudged Su Lanyin with her arm and blinked her eyes to signal her to quickly take the initiative to talk to Fu Wuyang to ease the awkward atmosphere.

But how could Su Lanyin listen to her?

At least when it comes to her emotional issues, she will not compromise with anyone.

If Lu Wanjun was clear-headed in her relationship, how could she have been controlled by Su Yongcheng for so many years?

So, she would not listen to her mother, put down the teacup, turned around and left.

Fu Wuyang seemed to have no expression, but his brows were slightly furrowed. He glanced at Su Lanyin's leaving back with the corner of his eye, and a dry look flashed in his eyes.

Lu Wanjun sighed helplessly, but after all, it was her daughter's marriage, and she had to figure out what was going on whether it could succeed or not.

So she hurriedly apologized, "Your Highness, this child is immature. She probably forgot to serve you tea, so I, as her mother, served her tea. By the way, this girl looks unfamiliar..."

Without waiting for Fu Wuyang to speak, the woman next to her stood up and bowed.

"Hello, Madam Lu. I am the daughter of the Grand Tutor, Shen Ruchu."

"Oh, so you are the daughter of the Grand Master. I am so disrespectful. I hope you will not be offended by my poor hospitality."

"No, I came here with the prince today. Since the prince is an acquaintance of yours, I will naturally not be shy."

"That's good, come sit down and eat, and feel free to ask if you have anything to say."

After saying that, Lu Wanjun quickened her pace and left to look for Su Lanyin.

……

dining room.

Su Lanyin and Cuizhu were so hungry that they had no time to care about entertaining the guests, so they rushed into the kitchen and started looking around for something to eat.

Unfortunately, all the food was sent to the front, with only a few cold steamed buns left.

But at least it can fill my stomach.

The two of them found a stool to sit down on, and swallowed the dry buns with water, almost choking several times.

When Lu Wanjun found them, they looked like starving ghosts, with their cheeks stuffed with steamed buns, like two puffer fish.

"It's already this late, and you're still eating here so heartlessly!"

Although she scolded him, she still helped Su Lanyin straighten her back, then turned to Li Ma and said, "Go to the front and find some food for the young lady."

"Yes, I will go right away."

Su Lanyin took a sip of water and swallowed the steamed bun, then asked, "Mother, why am I so heartless?"

"Why did King Xiaoyao bring another woman here for no reason? He is clearly trying to slap our Lu family in the face!"

Lu Wanjun was a little angry. Some time ago, the relationship between Su Lanyin and Fu Wuyang was a hot topic.

An unmarried girl is tied to a man's reputation for no reason. If they don't get married, based on the title of King Xiaoyao, who would dare to marry Su Lanyin in the future?

Cuizhu didn't know what to say when she saw this. She could only take the maids and servants around her and leave quickly to make room for the mother and daughter.

Su Lanyin sat on a stool with a nonchalant expression on her face: "Just take them if they want to. What does it have to do with us?"

"Fu Wuyang used to treasure you like the apple of his eye, coming to you every day and couldn't be driven away. What is he doing now?"

"It's up to him. It has nothing to do with me."

"Don't say such nonsense. Even if you two really have nothing to do with each other, outsiders will think you two are related. If you go out with other people for no reason, then won't you be the one being abandoned? People will definitely say bad things about you then."

"Do you think I'm afraid?" Su Lanyin looked at her indifferently, "Mom, if I really cared so much about my reputation, wouldn't it be fine if I just stayed at home and became a lady from a wealthy family?"

"Since I wanted to be a business woman, I never thought about my reputation, so I never hesitated to get along with any man in front of outsiders."

"Throughout history, even a rare female general would be surrounded by rumors of scandals, let alone someone like me. So, whatever they say or think is up to them. I don't care."

Su Lanyin had known that this day would come, and she accepted the prejudice that this feudal society had imposed on her.

However, if she is defeated by these, how can she develop her career?
