Chapter 35 Lifting the Stones

Now Su Huayue said that there were ten East beads in her gift?

Why didn't she get even one of the ten Dongzhu?

Now, Su Xuan is about to be gifted two East Pearls. Su Huayue still has eight East Pearls, but he is not willing to give her two as earrings?

Among the three young ladies in the Suhou Mansion, she is the only one who does not have Dongzhu!

But since Su Huayue rejected her, she couldn't just ask Su Huayue for it directly, she could only get angry.

Su Huayue looked at Su Ruozhi's deflated look and sneered secretly.

At this moment, there was an announcement of "The Marquis has arrived, the old lady has arrived, the eldest young master has arrived", and Su Hou, Su Xian and Mrs. Cen entered the hall at the same time.

Everyone present stood up and saluted Su Hou and Mrs. Cen: "Greetings to the master/father and the old lady/grandmother/aunt."

Su Xian also nodded slightly to Cen Qiulan and Liu Yan.

After what happened in the previous two days, Su Hou felt a little more relaxed when he saw his whole family here today, but when facing Cen Qiulan, he was much more indifferent than before.

Su Hou respectfully greeted Mrs. Cen and sat down.

Mrs. Cen had put on a good show, with bright makeup on her wrinkled face, and she still looked like a monkey that had gained power while sitting on her seat with her arms raised.

Mrs. Cen's eyes swept across everyone. When they fell on Su Zhong, Su Wei, Su Ruozhi and Cen Qiulan, they were all satisfied. When her eyes reached Su Huayue and Su Xian, her brows furrowed. Especially when she saw

When Su Huayue looked at him, the disgust in his eyes almost burst out.

Su Xian saw the dong bead on Su Huayue's hair and said, "Hua Yue, I bought the dong bead after looking for a seller in the border area for a long time. It really looks good on your head."

Su Huayue smiled at Su Xian: "My brother still has good taste."

This wave of conversations related to Dongzhu received a few jealous looks.

Even if it's a hair-length gift, why don't you share it with them?

Su Hou saw that Su Huayue looked much better and said, "Hua Yue, is the poison on your body better than yesterday?"

Su Huayue said: "I saw Dr. Mo this morning and he said that if I take a few more medicines, I'll be fine."

Su Hou nodded: "That's good."

Although Su Hou and Su Xian had just returned home not long ago, they had already met each other before the family banquet, so they started to eat without saying anything.

Although Su Huayue has a somewhat unruly temperament, she observes etiquette when dining. During the meal, except for the few chopstick dishes that Su Xian gave him, she only ate from the few plates in front of her.

Everyone talks about eating but not talking. It is a family banquet for everyone in Suhou Mansion, so it follows this rule.

The meal was originally a good one, and although there were many people who seemed to be incompatible with each other, there was no fuss after the meal.

Su Huayue stretched out her chopsticks towards the plate of thin slices of pork belly in front of her. However, at this moment, another pair of chopsticks reached out at the same time and collided with her chopsticks.

Bang - the force of the collision even made the chopsticks tremble slightly in Su Huayue's hand.

Su Huayue looked calmly at the owner of the other pair of chopsticks.

She discovered that Mrs. Cen, who was separated by Su Hou and two seats from her, happened to extend her hand to pick up vegetables and collided with her chopsticks.

Seeing the vicious look on Mrs. Cen's face, Su Huayue immediately understood that her move must be intentional.

At that moment, Su Huayue pretended not to know anything and used a trick on the chopsticks in her hands, following Mrs. Cen’s strength and pressing down on Mrs. Cen’s chopsticks——

Mrs. Cen was just trying to find an excuse to stir up trouble with Su Huayue. The chopsticks in her hands did not relax for a moment. Su Huayue used her skill to lower her whole arm and hit the few people in front of her.

Dish.

One of the soup dishes was so soupy that she dropped her chopsticks: "Oh."

Old Madam Cen screamed in pain, flinging her hand, and the chopsticks she let go hit Cen Qiulan, who was near her, in the face. The chopsticks picked up the leftover vegetables, which also affected Su Ruozhi, Su Wei, Su Zhong and others who were near Cen Qiulan.

In an instant, several people at the table exclaimed: "Oh/my dress..."

Su Hou frowned lightly, and because he was close to Mrs. Cen, he reached out to help her: "Auntie."

Su Xian ordered his servants to clean up the spilled food.

Su Huayue pretended to be fine and said, "Auntie, are you okay?" There was actually a hint of provocation in her words.

Mrs. Cen originally wanted to challenge Su Huayue, but before the matter was settled, she suffered a disaster, and she felt dissatisfied.

After hearing Su Huayue's inquiry, she was only sure that her hand suddenly lost control just now, and it must have been Su Huayue's move.

Mrs. Cen pushed Su Hou away, pointed at Su Huayue angrily and said, "It's you! It's you who caused me to be scalded by the soup!"

Mrs. Cen's words shocked everyone at the table.

Su Xian frowned slightly at Mrs. Cen's inexplicable anger and said: "Auntie, Hua Yue has not moved by my side. Are you mistaken?"

Mrs. Cen said: "I and Hua Yue just shared a dish. It was Hua Yue who pressed Lao Shen's chopsticks, and Lao Shen uncontrollably crushed the soup with her hand. Hua Yue, do you still see Lao Shen as your grandmother in your eyes?"

Cen Qiulan rubbed her cheek that was hurt by the chopsticks and said, "Hua Yue, my mother knows that you don't care about the importance of things, but you shouldn't make fun of the old lady. If you admit your mistake to grandma, this matter will be over."

Su Xian glanced at Su Huayue, who sneered and said leisurely: "If I apologize for something I haven't done, doesn't that mean I did it?" Cen Qiulan is really good at talking.

Then he said to Mrs. Cen: "Auntie, if Hua Yue accidentally touched your chopsticks with her chopsticks just now, and you feel that the chopsticks are not stable, you can just throw them away. Why did you drop your chopsticks into the soup?

?”

"This dish just now was far away from my great-aunt. Could it be that my great-aunt stretched her hand too far and couldn't hold it for a while, so she dropped her hand?"

So what if she did it? It's just you who brought it upon yourself.

Do you really think she is still the Su Huayue manipulated by her predecessor?

What she just said made Mrs. Cen a little speechless.

Indeed, as everyone watched, it was just the two of them sharing a plate of food.

Even if Su Huayue really touched her chopsticks with chopsticks, she would subconsciously throw them away and nothing would happen.

She was able to throw her hand into the soup like that. It was most likely that, as Su Huayue said, she stretched her hand too long when picking up the vegetables.

However, in order to make it easier for people at the table to pick it up, there are actually two dishes of each dish on the table.

The five-flower slices that Madam Cen and Su Huayue shared just now were on a plate on the side next to Madam Cen. She didn't have to go all the way to pick up the plate in front of Su Huayue.
