1555 Cheng Su’er’s Abnormality (1)
Before they reached the place where the banquet was held, a maid walked over. After bowing to Cheng Zhong and the others, she carefully lowered her voice and said to the servant, “Helper Brother, can we talk in private?”
The servant recognized that the maid was Cheng Su’er’s subordinate and thought that Cheng Su’er wanted to find trouble with the Cheng family. He couldn’t help looking troubled.
Even though Cheng Su’er was still doted on, Cheng Xin’er’s current identity was Liang Yingjun’s fiancée. She wasn’t someone he, a servant, could afford to offend.
Seeing the servant’s concerns, the maid stuffed a brocade bag into the servant’s arms.
“Don’t worry, my mistress just wants to chat with the City Lord’s wife and her daughter. I guarantee nothing will go wrong.”
Squeezing the weight in the brocade bag, a hint of greed flashed through the servant’s eyes, but he said, “I definitely wouldn’t dare to take matters into my own hands. However, you can ask the City Lord’s wife and Second Miss Cheng for their opinions yourself.”
The servant obviously wanted to take advantage of her, but he didn’t want to get himself involved.
The maid’s expression changed slightly, but thinking of Cheng Su’er’s repeated instructions, she still braced herself and went forward to invite the City Lord’s wife to Cheng Su’er’s courtyard with Cheng Xin’er.
“No.” Cheng Xin’er rejected her without thinking.
“Second Miss Cheng, my wife really wants to invite you to meet the City Lord’s wife.” The maidservant was anxious and begged.
Cheng Xin’er didn’t believe it at all. “If she’s sincere, she should have e out to invite you herself, not send a maid like you.”
In Cheng Xin’er’s heart, Cheng Su’er was a poisonous snake that couldn’t be warmed.
One moment, she was smiling, and the next moment, she might bite her master back.
So, she didn’t like the excuse of getting together and talking about family matters at all.
“Second Miss Cheng, my mistress…”
“Sister, you’re right. I didn’t think it through. I should have e to invite you myself.” Before the maid finished speaking, a gentle voice suddenly sounded from the side.
The few of them looked over and saw Cheng Su’er, who was wearing thick makeup and a gorgeous outfit, walking towards them slowly with a smile.
“Greetings, Madam Su.”
Even though Cheng Zhong resented his daughter in his mind for embarrassing him as a father, he still had to put on an act because of her identity.
The City Lord’s wife also wanted to bow, but Cheng Su’er stopped her first.
“Madam, there’s no need to be so polite.”
Cheng Su’er held the hand of the City Lord’s wife and showed a friendly smile.
The City Lord’s wife looked at her indifferently and retracted her hand without a trace.
Feeling the resistance of the City Lord’s wife towards her, a bitter smile appeared on Cheng Su’er’s face.
“Madam, Sister, I really want to invite you. Can you give me a chance to make up for it?” Cheng Su’er said weakly with a hint of pleading.
Cheng Su’er’s abnormality made the City Lord’s wife frown slightly. Before she said anything, a slightly evil voice entered their ears.
“Haha, I was wondering why City Lord Cheng wasn’t here yet. It turns out that he’s already here.”
Seeing Duanmu Chun walking over from afar, the three members of the Cheng family bowed respectfully.
“Greetings, Your Highness.”
Duanmu Chun waved his hand, indicating that they didn’t have to be so polite. He continued, “Su’er often mentions the City Lord’s wife and Second Miss Cheng to me and even said that she misses them very much. See, I took advantage of this celebratory banquet to ask City Lord Cheng to bring the two of you here so that you can meet Su’er and talk to her.”
