Chapter 87 What a great gift

Qin Yi was slightly surprised, but his face showed nothing strange. He walked slowly to Su Shixia's side, nodded to Su Jingheng, and said a few polite words.

Su Jingheng's eyes scanned Su Shixia and Qin Yi's bodies in turn, as if he wanted to find out something, but in the end he didn't say much and led them into the Changyi Marquis Mansion with a smile.

's door.

After all, it is the fiftieth birthday of the old lady of Changyi Marquis, and there are quite a few people coming to the Su family to celebrate her birthday today.

Su Jingheng was also very busy. As soon as he led Qin Yi and Su Shixia through the gate, another servant came to report that another distinguished guest had come to celebrate his birthday.

Su Jingheng could only apologize to Qin Yi and the others first, and called others to guide Qin Yi and the others, while he quickly went out to greet the guests.

"what happened?"

After Su Jingheng left, Qin Yi slowed down his pace and walked side by side with Su Shixia, moved slightly closer to her, lowered his voice and said, "I thought you were too lazy to even keep up the appearance.

The Changyi Marquis must also act separately from me."

"I just don't want the situation to become tense at the gate."

Su Shixia looked forward, not looking at Qin Yi at all.

"The matter of reconciliation is, at best, a private matter between the two of us; at worst, it is just a family matter between the Su family and the Qin family, and it is not the turn of outsiders to laugh at us.

"

Qin Yi seemed to agree with what she said and didn't even refute it.

Mrs. Yao, the old lady of Changyi Marquis Mansion, is the real host of today's birthday banquet.

People are in high spirits when happy events happen, and she seemed particularly happy today. She kept smiling and chatting with the guests who came to celebrate her birthday.

When the little maid guarding the door reported that King Pingxi and his wife had arrived, the originally noisy main hall suddenly became quiet.

When Qin Yi and Su Shixia entered the main hall, those who were not as high-status as Qin Yi naturally stood up and greeted Qin Yi politely.

Even the old lady Yao stood up, but it was Qin Yi who took the initiative to step forward and give her a little support, and then she sat back on the main seat.

After some courtesy and humility, the guests in the room took their seats again.

Su Shixia and Qin Yi sat in the seats closest to Yao.

Mrs. Yao held Su Shixia's hand affectionately and kept talking to her. She also pulled Xiao Qin Zhan into his arms and praised her several times.

Su Shixia secretly looked at the Yao family in front of her.

Although they haven't seen each other for five years, Yao's appearance is actually not much different from what the original owner remembered.

Although she is fifty years old, she looks like she is only in her early forties due to proper maintenance.

In order to match today's exquisite and luxurious clothes, Yao's makeup was a bit heavy, and the makeup covered the lines of time at the corners of her eyes and lips. At first glance, just by looking at her facial features, you can still vaguely see her gorgeous face when she was young.

looks.

Frankly speaking, Yao's appearance cannot be said to be bad, but the Yao in the original owner's memory hardly ever showed a good face when facing the original owner, so she naturally seemed not that amiable.

Now looking at Yao's hypocritical and enthusiastic look, Su Shixia only felt funny in her heart, but she also maintained a polite smile on her face.

She had already thought it through before coming.

After all, the Su family had raised the original owner for five years. Although there was a lot of unhappiness in the end, her adoptive father had good intentions when he adopted her.

Even considering that her adoptive father had paid for her biological father's medical treatment, she should have been more patient with the Su family.

Today, if the Su family still cares about their face and can maintain their superficial politeness, then she wouldn't mind cooperating in a good show of a loving mother and a filial daughter.

But if people like the Su family had some bad intentions in inviting her here, then...

As soon as Su Shixia had this idea, he heard someone among the guests present say with a smile: "Speaking of which, there has been a lot of buzz in the capital recently, saying that King Pingxi and your husband are going to have a divorce.

"

As soon as these words came out, the entire main hall suddenly fell silent.

The person who spoke seemed not to realize there was anything wrong with his words, and continued: "Those people said they had noses and eyes. I almost believed them before, but now I see that you and your wife actually came together to wish Mrs. Yao her birthday.

, then thinking about it, the reconciliation thing should be just a rumor, right?"

Qin Yi glanced sideways at the person who spoke, and when he saw that it was a strange looking woman, he looked away indifferently, with no intention of actively opening his mouth to explain.

Su Shixia also glanced at the woman, but did not recognize her identity. She turned to look at Yao who was sitting in the main seat, and saw that Yao was also looking at her at this moment.

The two people's eyes met, and Yao was obviously a little guilty, so he took the initiative to look away.

Su Shixia narrowed her eyes slightly, slightly raised the corners of her lips, and said with a smile, "That's not a rumor. I, King Ping Xi, do..."

"Ahem! Today is my birthday! The fact that the princess and the prince come to see me together is enough to show their filial piety. They are both young and the prince has been at the border for many years. Now that they have just come back, the young couple

There was inevitably some quarrel between us, and I don’t know if some gossipy servants spread the word, but it became so public."

Before Su Shixia could finish speaking, Yao suddenly coughed.

Not only did he interrupt Su Shixia's words, he also explained the reconciliation for Su Shixia.

"Today is a good day. Let's just say that we are happy. Let them solve their own affairs as a couple. Don't worry about it."

Yao smiled and changed the topic.

Su Shixia originally wanted to take this opportunity to make her reconciliation with Qin Yi completely clear, but she didn't know if it was a coincidence or if Yao had given a secret hint to her servants before.

After Yao finished speaking, before Su Shixia could speak, a little maid came in and reported happily: "Old madam, the birthday gifts for King Su and Princess Su have been delivered!"

That was a congratulatory gift from her biological daughter. Upon hearing this, Yao's face immediately burst into a bright smile from the bottom of her heart.

"Quickly, let someone bring the things in for me to take a look at."

As she spoke, she even took the initiative to explain for her daughter and son-in-law.

"Rao'er sent me a letter to apologize a few days ago, saying that there was a snowstorm in Cangzhou. The disaster was so severe that many people froze to death."

"She went to Cangzhou with Prince Su to provide disaster relief. It is the busiest time now and she cannot come back to wish me a birthday in person."

"I have written to them, telling them that my birthday is celebrated every year, and it doesn't matter if they don't come back. It's because the two children have the intention. Although they haven't come back, they have taken the trouble to give me birthday gifts. They took the time to give it to me.

Sent."

As soon as Mrs. Yao said this, the guests present all flattered her, saying that Mrs. Yao had given birth to a good daughter, and praising King Su and his wife for their filial piety.

Su Shixia also cooperated and said a few words, but she didn't take this matter to heart at first.

But when the two birthday gifts were brought in, Su Shixia's eyebrows couldn't help but raise slightly.

What Prince Su and his wife gave you is really a great gift.
