The Fourth Lady novel Chapter 97

When Su Yun and Luo Bing arrived at the city's gates, they received a warm welcome from all the common folks. That look appeared as if they had seen a legend.

But to these commoners, Su Yun was like a deity in their hearts. If it wasn't for Su Yun guarding over Qinzhou all these years, these common people would probably be living a destituted life.

Seems like that girl certainly has a way." Sitting inside Julong Zhai, Xuanyuan Yuzhen smiled when he saw this scene, "Now, I'm really quite looking forward to seeing how she will deal with the Qingguo Marquis manor."

"That girl has plenty of crafty ideas." Murong Jingxuan smiled as he said this, "However, this year's Dragon Gate banquet will definitely be unusually lively."

"That's naturally so." Xuanyuan Yuzhen began to twirl the jade ring on his finger, "The old man said, it's possible that he'll let Su Yun stay in the capital this year. As for the specific reasons why, it's probably because of those things Jingguo Marquis said. But the old man also said that he definitely won't take away the military rights in Su Yun's hands."

"Old man sure knows how to behave." Murong Jingxuan picked up the teacup and drank a sip of the tea, "But could the old man have discovered something?"

"The old man is very sharp." Xuanyuan Yuzhen looked to him and reluctantly spoke, "However, this year, royal aunt will also attend the Dragon Gate banquet."

"But the Grand Princess really likes Yan'er very much." Murong Jingxuan stroked his chin as he spoke, "Just don't know how Yan'er thinks of it."

"Master, miss let me come and ask, when can the dishes be sent to the yard?" Fengqing suddenly appeared and looked to Murong Jingxuan, politely asking.

"How about I invite you to come see a good show tonight?" Murong Jingxuan listened to Fengqing's words and smiled.

"Of course, I'd be very happy to watch a show." Xuanyuan Yuzhen knew that Murong Jingxuan was probably preparing to personally deliver the dishes. But even if Su Qingyan didn't like it, when the time comes, she won't be able to refuse.

"Alright then, I'll need to trouble you to invite out the old man."

Xuanyuan Yuzhen looked to Murong Jingxuan in surprise; he'd never thought that this was what he was planning. But whatever, since he could see a show, why go against it?

Furthermore, he really wanted to see just how this Su Qingyan has survived in the Su manor thus far.

At the same time, drums and percussions clamored outside the Su manor gate. Just when Ning Siyao felt it was noisy, she heard Nianchun frantically rush over, "Madam, General and the first madam have returned. They're right outside the door right now."

Ning Siyao immediately stood up, "What did you say? Big brother and sister-in-law have returned!?"

How could that be? Didn't they say everything was flawlessly arranged? Didn't they say that Su Yun and Luo Bing were definitely not returning alive? What kind of situation was this now?

"Madam, it certainly is them. Just now, the fourth miss went to welcome them." Nianxia looked to Ning Siyao and replied.

Ning Siyao could only hurriedly have Nianchun dress her, and then rush to the front yard.

As soon as Qingyan heard the news, she immediately rushed to the entrance. When she got to the entrance, she saw Su Yun and Luo Bing dressed in armor, standing there in high spirits.

This was Su Qingyan's first time seeing Su Yun and Luo Bing, but she remembered she'd also looked forward to her father's return like this in the past. Qingyan wiped the tears from her eyes and ran towards the entrance.

"Father, Mother."

"Yan'er." Luo Bing immediately hugged the girl that jumped into her arms, "My daughter, you've suffered."

"Father, mother, I've really missed you." Qingyan wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes and looked to them with a smile as she spoke.

"Silly girl, aren't we back now?" Su Yun looked to her and gently patted her head.

His daughter he hadn't seen in three years, yet she has already grown into an elegant and slender lady. Thinking back to Qingdai's words previously, his heart sank.

"So elder brother and sister-in-law have returned, I really did forget." Chai Yiyun and Ning Siyao, who'd rushed over, sounded their voice simultaneously. Su Ming and Su Yan, who'd just returned home, also saw Su Yun's figure.

"Big brother, you're back." The brothers looked to Su Yun with a smile.

When he saw Chai Yiyun and Ning Siyao, Qingdai's words once again surfaced in his mind. He could only dryly respond.

Ning Siyao saw that Su Yun and Luo Bing were without a scratch, so she asked, "Big brother, sister-in-law, did you encounter anything on the way back to the capital?"

Qingyan smiled as she listened to Ning Siyao's words. Looks like she'd guessed right, it was Ning Siyao who'd joined with the Ning family in setting up a trap like this. Looks like the Jingguo Marquis manor must be eliminated.

When Su Yun heard this from Ning Siyao, it seems he'd instantly understood something. On the contrary, Luo Bing looked to Ning Siyao and spoke in a harsh tone, "What could we possibly run into? Don't tell me sister-in-law doesn't wish for us to return?"

Luo Bing had always been someone that wasn't easy to get along with, so hearing this from Ning Siyao naturally made her angry. However, even if she didn't understand the tactics and schemes of the back manor, hearing this from Ning Siyao, she still understood some things.

Evidently, Ning Siyao didn't expect Luo Bing to say such, "How could that be? How could I not wish for big brother and sister-in-law's return?"

"That reminds me, second aunt, I remember father and mother's welcoming dinner is usually prepared by second aunt. I wonder what second aunt has prepared this time?" Qingyan looked to Ning Siyao and slowly spoke.

Ning Siyao instantly didn't know how to reply to this question, "I've been too busy lately I forgot about this matter."

"Oh!" Qingyan looked to Ning Siyao nonchalantly. "Then that's perfect, I've prepared a welcoming dinner for father and mother. Father, mother, why don't you come eat in my yard today?"

This slap directly sounded on Ning Siyao's face.

Ning Siyao glared to Qingyan with resentment, but Qingyan blatantly ignored her gaze.

"Yan'er, this is elder brother's gift to you." Su Qingyu appeared next to Qingyan dressed in armor, in his hand was a mink.

Su Qingyu looked to Qingyan, shyly scratching his head, "Yan'er, don't tell me you don't like this mink?"

When Qingyan looked up, she immediately pulled on Su Qingyu's arm, "That's not it, Yan'er loves the gifts from elder brother." She took the cage from him as she said this.

However, this made Su Qingyu become rather embarrassed. After all, Su Qingyan seemed to have never been this close with him before.

Seeing Su Qingyu's blushing cheeks, Qingyan laughed, "Elder brother, Yan'er is a grown lady now, don't feel embarrassed."
