Shengjing Noble

Chapter 121 I Won’t Learn

Wanshou Pavilion.

Before Su Lanyin entered the room, she heard laughter coming from the hall. Everyone quieted down when they saw her come in.

The old lady sat in the upper seat, and her smiling face suddenly turned serious.

She said unhappily, "You are a concubine's daughter after all. You have no respect for rules. When the elders invited you, you had to refuse and resist before coming. I don't know where you got your airs from."

After she finished her sarcastic remarks, she rolled her eyes fiercely, full of disgust.

Su Lanyin didn't care. She walked forward and reluctantly bowed. Then she asked, "I wonder why grandma sent someone to deliver the message?"

The old lady snorted at her and turned to look at the man next to her.

"This is the young master of the Song family, an old acquaintance of the Su family. He is only a few years older than you. He happened to be in Shengjing to take the imperial examination, so I specially summoned you to meet him."

Su Lanyin naturally followed the old lady's line of sight, looking calmly at the man's relatively clean face, with a hint of a smile on her lips.

But the light in her eyes was particularly cold, making people feel extremely uncomfortable.

Song Rui met her gaze and immediately frowned. He felt as if he had seen her somewhere before, but couldn't remember where. He was absent-minded for a moment and stared at her for a while.

Su Lanyin winked at him and asked with a smile, "Why is this brother looking at me like this?"

Being asked so bluntly, Song Rui was stunned. He quickly stood up with his head lowered. He bowed and said, "Sorry, I just felt that the Sixth Miss looked familiar. I think I have seen her somewhere before."

"I usually don't leave the house, brother must have made a mistake."

"Oh, that might be my problem. I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Song Rui."

"My little girl Su Lanyin."

The two of them greeted each other and became acquainted.

Seeing this, Liu Ruyan's eyes were full of smiles, and she said casually: "Oh, you two children look quite a good match."

Su Lanyin immediately frowned and said angrily, "Madam, please don't say that. Yinyin is not even 15 years old yet. If your words get out, people will think that Brother Song is a bad person with ulterior motives."

When Song Rui heard this, his face turned grim.

After all, he was a student who was about to take the imperial examination. If it were to be spread that he had something going on with a girl who had not yet reached marriage age, it would affect his whole life.

Thinking of this, he immediately looked serious: "Madam, don't say anything careless. I came to Beijing to take the imperial examination, not for anything else."

Liu Ruyan suppressed the hatred in her eyes and glared at Su Lanyin coldly, then smiled awkwardly: "Oh, I was just joking, you two are really funny."

Su Lanyin sneered in her heart.

In her previous life, she originally didn't want to marry Song Rui, but Liu Ruyan always joked about them being a good match in front of others and behind their backs.

It wasn't long before her scandal with Song Rui became known to everyone.

So in the end she had no choice but to do it, and could not resist the rumors outside.

She will never tolerate it again in this life.

From now on, whenever Liu Ruyan dared to say this in front of others, she would immediately refute and make her attitude clear.

The old lady winked, then coughed a few times and said, "Cough, cough, cough... I'm tired, and it's time to take medicine. I won't keep you here to talk. Lanyin, take Song Rui to familiarize himself with the mansion."

Su Lanyin wanted to refuse when she heard this, but then she thought of something else and nodded in obedience, "Yes."

The two left Wanshou Pavilion and walked towards the back garden.

Su Lanyin deliberately chose a small path with few people, but the flowers and plants on both sides were extremely bright and ornamental.

The winter sun is shining brightly on a quiet path, and two figures are taking a leisurely walk.

"This is Rongyue Garden, which is the garden that my father and the eldest lady love to visit the most. The flowers, plants and trees in it are all carefully selected by the eldest lady. Even in winter, they will not wither and die."

Su Lanyin introduced as she walked, with undercurrents in her eyes.

Song Rui followed her slowly, looked up and looked around, and then asked casually: "It must have taken a lot of effort to set up this forest, right?"

Su Lanyin curled her lips and thought to herself: You probably want to ask about money, right?

Ha ha……

Snob stuff!

She smiled and nodded: "Yes, not only did it take a lot of effort, but it also cost a lot of money. However, the eldest lady is a noble lady from a marquisate, and her dowry is generous. In addition, my father favors her, so naturally she is not short of money."

In fact, this garden was paid for by her mother Lu Wanjun. At the beginning, Liu Ruyan coaxed Su Yongcheng to have a garden for her to paint, and said that she had found out that the noble ladies in Shengjing loved to look at paintings of flowers and plants.

So in order to help Liu Ruyan and that group of ladies break into the upper class, Su Yong went to Suiyuexuan for three consecutive days just to persuade Lu Wanjun to pay the money.

He also said sternly and righteously that helping Liu Ruyan was helping his career. If he helped his career, the Su family would be well off, and Lu Wanjun would be well off as well.

In short, it was clearly their own selfish desires, but in the end they wanted Lu Wanjun to pay for the construction in the name of being useful to her.

But her mother was a fool and actually believed it.

A lot of money was spent on building this garden. Now looking at every tree and blade of grass in it, Su Lanyin feels pain in her heart.

If she leaves the Su family in the future, she will destroy the garden completely even if she cannot move away, and will never let those beasts in the Su family get away with it.

As he was speaking, Song Rui had already walked into the garden. At this moment, the sound of a piano was heard. It sounded like a beginner's playing, awkward and stumbling.

Then, the person playing the piano became obviously impatient and slapped the strings hard.

"Dang, dan, dan. You force me to learn all day, but I won't learn! You said I forgot, why do you have to remember it?"

It was Su Lanxin's voice, and Su Shenghao's consolation was beside her.

"Fifth sister, father is doing this for your own good. You used to love playing the piano the most, and your piano skills were outstanding in Shengjing. How can you just forget it now?"

"But I've already forgotten it! Even if you force me to learn it, I won't be able to do it the same way as before!"

"Anyway, let's practice some more..."

As they argued, Song Rui couldn't help but whispered, "Who are they?"

Su Lanyin immediately explained: "It's my second brother and fifth sister."

"Oh, so it's the eldest lady's daughter?"

"Yes, where are the legitimate son and daughter?" Su Lanyin nodded, suppressing a sly smile.

Song Rui did not hear the sarcasm in her words. His mind was filled with the word "legitimate child". He immediately walked towards the pavilion.

Just now, Su Lanyin deliberately revealed that the garden was built with the money of the first wife, and told her that Su Yongcheng loved the first wife the most, just to make him change his target.

In his previous life, Song Rui couldn't reach Su Lanxin, who was favored by the prince, and he coveted the Lu family's wealth, so he married her.

But this life is different. At this time, Su Lanxin failed to win Fu Mingheng's heart.

In other words, Song Rui has every chance to marry the legitimate daughter.

And she is a legitimate daughter with status and wealth!

Everyone knows how to choose, let alone that snobbish Song Rui.
