C96 (2/2)
Perhaps it was … The messenger was delayed? Lian Shi Ya thought for a while, then put down her chopsticks and said, ”Mother, I'll go take a look.”
”Ya Er...” Auntie Xiao wanted to say something, but Lian Shi Ya had already rushed out of the Qing Quan Yuan Yuan.
Once he walked into his mother's house, Lian Shi Ya heard her say to others:
”The master's health is better, and Moon has returned. She should be bringing you out to meet someone. I have already asked Xi Er and the Song mama to choose some good materials made in Jiangnan for you to wear. I have also instructed Xi Er and the Song mama to choose some good materials made in Jiangnan to make some clothes for you.
”Yes, thank you Grandmother.” Lian Si Yue would not appear too excited or indifferent. She expressed her gratitude and happiness perfectly.
Lian Shi Ya's expression became a little ugly. Normally, at banquets, even her mother would prepare some clothing for her, but she was actually troubled by Lian Si Yue, afraid that she would cause trouble. She would always wish to hide her and not bring her out to lose face.
Just like how a few years ago, when Lian Si Yue beat up the direct daughter of the Shang Shu Fu, Liu Xi Ren, he got so angry that he wanted to complain to the empress about him. In the end, the mother even personally came to apologize and gave him a thousand taels of silver.
Every time she went out to show her face, she would bring it along with her. As time passed, people outside would completely forget about Lian Si Yue, the direct daughter, and instead remember that in the Prime Minister's Palace, there was a Third Miss, although she was a concubinage, she was extremely beautiful and elegant, far more than her direct wife.
But this time, Grandmother did her best to prepare for Lian Si Yue without mentioning her at all. It seemed that even her mother was beginning to feel disappointed in her.
”Fourth girl and Seventh girl, choose some as well. When the time comes, let the wife send some over.” His mother said to her other two granddaughters.
”Yes, thank you Grandmother.” Lian Wan Yin and Lian Sheng Ru were overjoyed. As concubinage, they had always been trembling with fear, and never dared to fight for it. Now, even their mother wanted to bring them to the Princess Mansion.
”Fourth Sister, Seventh Sister, don't worry, just follow Grandmother and Mother at that time.” Lian Si Yue saw that the two of them were uncomfortable, and comforted them.
”I-I'm really nervous. I've never been to such a place before.” Lian Sheng Ru's face was flushed red, as he said softly, causing everyone to laugh out loud.
However, no one bothered to care about Lian Shi Ya. She felt a little awkward while sitting in the corner, so she smiled awkwardly and said, ”Seventh Sister, don't be afraid. If there's anything you don't understand, you can just follow me.”
”You don't need to go.” However, his mother was fiddling with the thumb ring in her hand. She didn't even raise her head as she spoke in a neither cold nor hot manner.
”...” Immediately, Lian Shi Ya's smile froze on her face, she did not know whether to laugh or cry, and only felt that she had been humiliated greatly. ”Why?”
”I've even heard that your health is not good, and you have a heart attack. In an occasion like the Princess Anguo Mansion, the slightest carelessness would cause someone to fall into their trap, so you stayed in the mansion to recuperate. There will be many more of these kinds of banquets in the future.”
”My illness has already healed. Grandmother, I came here especially to tell you that I am fully recovered and have no heart disease. Look how energetic I am, I can go to Princess Mansion.” Lian Shi Ya tried to reveal a bright smile towards his mother.
Seeing that Lian Shi Ya was actively fighting for a chance to go to the Princess Mansion for her, Lian Si Yue could not help but shake her head, as she did not understand and advanced. The Grandmother saying that she had a mental illness was clearly an excuse, and she had to force others to say her unpleasant words.
”...” So that's how it was!
A layer of mist floated in front of Lian Shi Ya's eyes. When had she ever suffered such grievances? She kneeled down and quickly said, ”I'll follow Grandmother's arrangements” before hurriedly leaving Qing An Hospital. She endured her tears all the way until she returned to Qing Quan Yuan Yuan and laid down on the table crying.
Seeing that, the Auntie Xiao hurriedly walked over and asked, ”Why did you come back crying after going out.”
”This is too much!” Lian Shi Ya sat up with tears in her eyes and said, ”Princess Anguo's chrysanthemum viewing feast, Grandmother's … Grandmother actually thinks that I have lost face, and is unwilling to take me with him.
When the Auntie Xiao heard it, she was shocked, ”She said that?”
