Chapter 327 - 327 A Good Show
327 A Good Show
As Lin Suisui watched everyone’s exciting performance, although she didn’t show it on her face, she was shocked.
As she had expected, there was a witch from the southern border among these people. Moreover, from the performance in front of her, this witch’s strength was extraordinary.
Such a novel performance was naturally rare in the north. Having such a successful performance was also very glorious for Marquis Beining’s ministry.
Previously, the fourth prince graced them with his presence, and now, there was such a performance, so the old lady couldn’t hide her smugness.
She even forgot about her unhappiness when Lin Suisui appeared previously.
Seeing that the old lady was in a good mood, Madam Beining heaved a sigh of relief. There couldn’t be any more trouble at today’s birthday banquet. As long as it ended safely, her life here would be better in the future.
Lin Suisui didn’t intend to stay in Marquis Beining’s ministry for long. After lunch, she originally planned to leave and return to the residence. However, Bai Guo secretly sent her Lu Ze’s message. Lu Ze actually told her to calm down.
“He said to stay here with peace of mind. There’s still a good show to watch.” Bai Guo whispered into Lin Suisui’s ear.
The corners of Lin Suisui’s mouth twitched. She knew it. With Lu Ze’s temper, how could he let the birthday banquet end so peacefully?
So the real show had yet to start.
Since it was Lu Ze’s idea, Lin Suisui wasn’t anxious anymore. She sat in her seat calmly and waited for the host’s subsequent arrangements.
Marquis Beining’s ministry naturally arranged a place for esteemed guests like Lin Suisui to rest.
However, because of her relationship with Zhou Ningqian, when it was time to rest in the guest room, Zhou Ningqian took the initiative to invite her to sit in her courtyard.
“I didn’t expect Minghui to rush back to accompany me as soon as he found out that I was back.”
At the mention of what had happened after she returned to the Song family, Zhou Ningqian couldn’t hide the blissfulness on her face.
Song Minghui had promised her to change, but she didn’t take his promise seriously. This time, when she didn’t tell Song Minghui that she had returned to Marquis Beining’s ministry to deal with everything, Song Minghui followed closely behind her and returned to Marquis Beining’s ministry.
Unlike before, he didn’t just stand at the side and endure his family’s criticism. Instead, he stood in front of her and dealt with the malicious people without hesitation.
This was the best start.
“It’s also because of this that I realized that those people who were originally high and mighty and untouchable to me were actually paper tigers that could be crushed with a gentle poke.”
Zhou Ningqian whispered about her feelings over the past few days to Lin Suisui. Thinking of what had happened in the reception hall today, she looked a little apologetic and said in embarrassment, “Old Madam is used to getting her way. When people get old, they become a little self-centered.
Ever since Yu Niang entered the residence, she had been fawning over the old madam. She wasn’t from a prestigious family, so she wasn’t so particular about things.
She’s biased towards her sister-in-law and sixth sister because firstly, her sister-in-law is the old lady’s nephew and granddaughter. Secondly, her sixth sister had been raised by her since she was young. Therefore, they’re naturally closer.
Now that Eldest Sister-in-law and Sixth Sister are still detained in the Imperial City’s government office, she’s naturally dissatisfied with you.”
Zhou Ningqian explained vaguely. There were some things that she really didn’t know how to explain. However, she believed that Lin Suisui would definitely understand.
Lin Suisui nodded at Zhou Ningqian with a smile. “I understand. She’s just taking her anger out on you.”
Previously, I had also heard from my husband that Marquis Beining had humble beginnings. It was because he followed his ancestor to conquer the world that Marquis Beining’s ministry has its current status and glory.
Therefore, the old lady has always been very dissatisfied and picky with well-educated women from noble families.
On the other hand, she likes people who are willing to suck up to her and cater to her.”
Lin Suisui had actually seen such things many times before.
Previously, when she was treating outsiders with her mentor, it wasn’t uncommon for her to encounter such domestic affairs.
Zhou Ningqian sighed as she nodded in agreement with Lin Suisui. “That’s right. Although my mother-in-law is unsatisfactory in every aspect, she’s filial to the old lady.
To be honest, this was the first time I’ve seen a dignified Madam keeping watch at night because her mother-in-law was sick.
But even so, she didn’t receive any gratitude.”
Lin Suisui chatted with Zhou Ningqian for a while before the topic shifted to her fetus. She raised her hand to take Zhou Ningqian’s pulse again and asked about her condition after returning to the residence. After hearing Zhou Ningqian say that everything had been normal during this period of time, she heaved a sigh of relief.
“Don’t tire yourself out too much.” Although Zhou Ningqian was in a good state now, Lin Suisui didn’t forget to remind her, “When the commotion passes in the next few days, you should recuperate in peace.
Since you’ve already said that Mr. Song will arrange everything now, you might as well ignore those troublesome things. You’ve already had a child before, so you also know that pregnancies are very important.
No matter what, your body belongs to you. If anything happens again, even if your body is made of iron, it probably won’t be able to withstand it!
I’m not joking with you. You have to know your limits.”
“Yes, I know.” Zhou Ningqian nodded as she listened to Lin Suisui’s advice. Just as she was about to say something, she saw a little girl rushing in from outside. When the little girl saw Lin Suisui, she was so shocked that she even forgot to bow.
“What’s wrong?” Seeing the little girl react like this, Zhou Ningqian could more or less guess that something had happened outside. However, she didn’t expect the little girl to look so surprised to see Lin Suisui.
“Mrs. Song asked me to send a message. He said that something had happened in the guest courtyard.” The little girl only reacted when Zhou Ningqian called her. Then, she hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Lin Suisui and Zhou Ningqian. “Someone saw General Wei Bei’s wife… meeting someone in the guest room.”
