Chapter 92—The First Step of Revenge
An Qingran is determined to revenge in this life, and nobody can stop her.
So she began the first step of formal revenge!
Lian Jinrong and An Yanran did not expect that they would be invited to attend *Dongwenge’s family dinner.
Dongwenge is East Warm pavilion.
In the afternoon, they thought they had been scolded by father. The two mother and daughter had no hope of appearing again. However, they did not think that Anfu had come to inform them personally. That’s the General’s confidant.
Presumably, my father still remembers their good.
Lian Jinrong dressed up carefully. She wore a water-blue dress on her. She was more than one or two years younger. She looked at the charming appearance in the mirror. Her frustration from the afternoon flashed away .
An Yanran looked at her mother more beautiful compare with Muqin(Mother). She felt injustice for her mother. She compared with that An Qingran is also not lacking slightly. It was unreasonable. Their mother and daughter have always been under them!
TN: concubine children call legal wife Muqin ( Mother).niang is mommy , calls Lian Jinrong.
As a matter of fact, she now knows that if she gets her father’s attention, she will have a chance to overthrow them.
However, how to get the father’s attention, she was somewhat embarrassed. Her previous failure in Yuehua Temple, left a very bad impression on her father, how to do?
The dinner was on schedule.
.
The Dongwenge is brightly lit with candles in thick arms were shining brightly. Still, Mingwa lampshades were shining everywhere in the room.
Lian Jinrong arrived very early and the General had not come yet. She looked at Lian Jinyu and said, “jiejie, may have something want meimei to do?”
Lian Jinyu looked at her beautiful appearance, and could not help sighing that she was also a beauty, just a little evil!
If she hadn’t squeezed herself into the General’s Fu. She might not have been become foul with her.
She did not open her mouth, Lian Jinrong’s face was embarrassed: “Maybe it’s Meimei who came early…”
“Well, you came here just right. I have a scripture here given by Master Kong. It’s the best way to meditation. If you have time, you should copy it!” Lian Jinyu asked people to look for scriptures.
Lian Jinrong’s face was flushed red and white for a while. “Jiejie is saying that meimei is lacking of temperament and needed recuperation, isn’t it?”
“You don’t have to think too much about it. It’s a matter of cultivating good fortune, doing more and doing less. It’s all personal. I can’t divide up half of your share…” Lian Jinyu said half-joking.
Because she took back the management of the General’s Fu and got all the attention of the General. She was in a good mood and did not feel so offend when she looked at Lian Jinrong.
Lian Jinrong stiffened her mouth for a moment and then laughed :”It’s jiejie’s thoughtfulness. That meimei is not good enough. Therefore it’s reasonable for the General not to let meimei to manage the household. But jiejie has to work hard from now on. Jiejie doesn’t know that those servants will try to shirk work or responsibility behind the backs . If you don’t have shrap eyes , you will be deceived by them.”
“Thank you for reminding me. I’ll pay attention to it!”
Here, An Yanran came in. Her eyes were looking around. Unexpectedly, She didn’t even see An Qingran’s shadow. She felt a little strange.
Soon after everyone formally took seat, An Yanran first raised her winecup to respect everyone a toast, which was very highfalutin.
An Zhongtao did not say anything. He just raised his cup and drank it. His face is relaxed little. An Qingran knew that after all, An Yanran was also his daughter, sighing and drank the wine.
An Yanran had a smile on her face.
An Qingran also laughed and said, “Meimei has become more and more obedient recently…”
“If jiejie can make a point from time to time, meimei is willing to listen. but jiejie is very busy now and meimei can’t see jiejie’s figure…” An Yanran suddenly said.
An Qingran knew she wanted father to ask herself (AQR) what she was doing.
She also knew that An Yanran had gone to her yard to find herself. But she didn’t know that there was another thing she was doing, which was enough to stun her for a moment.
Lian Jinrong also raised her cup and said with a smile, “jiejie has been working hard these days. Meimei should be respect.”
Lian Jinyu said, “Meimei is really polite and not less tired at home than I am. You’re also working hard!”
An Qingran still thought in her heart that her mother was really a good person. She knew clearly what people were doing behind their backs. As long as they spoke well, she was embarrassed to refute people face to face.
Although An Zhongtao was not satisfied with Lian Jinrong’s mother and daughter for a while. But after all, it is a family reunion dinner. Naturally, it could not be too ugly, but the knots in his heart were still unraveled.
An Yanran was really disgraced and lost his face. Everyone in the capital now knows that his youngest daughter is jealous of his eldest daughter and makes slanderous remarks in front of everyone!.
Just then, Hong momo came in, with a plate in her hand, and filled the dishes for everyone. Only then did six dishes appear on the table. It was reasonable to say that all the dishes should have been served.
Lian Jinrong did not dare to open her mouth today. Anyway, it was a banquet arranged by Lian Jinyu. She enjoyed it. It was better for her to make a joke.
Lian Jinyu opened her mouth, ” Hong momo, why is it so slow? Hurry up the kitchen people!”
An Zhongtao beside her said,: “What’s wrong? You haven’t been at home these days. wouldn’t those kitchen people making trouble again?”
This is obviously said to Lian Jinrong..
Lian Jinrong listens unlike, but dares not answer in disorder. She is depressed and hates in her heart, for fear that there will be no good feast.
How can I get back to this game?
Before she could speak, Hong momo said, “Because the maids in the house have been busy cleaning things. Just now Furen instructed some to do the lantern. They are all busy still not enough. Let Cui Er a waiting person to lend a hand , but don’t know what the second Furen think?”
Lian Jinrong nodded: ” Actually , the maids in jiejie’s room are not enough. Just say a word , meimei will help you. What’s that?Cui Er, you go!”
“Yes, Furen!” Xiaocui worshipped Lian Jinrong and went out.
An Qingran suddenly said, “Mother, this maid is really strange, how to call Yiniang as Furen. Actually have poor eyesight to work!”
Hearing that, Lian Jinrong’s face suddenly changed color, she looked at An Qingran and said: “Qingran, must have misread, how could she call me Furen. She should have called your mother…”
“That’s what I hear!” An Qingran picked up her eyebrows and laughed sweetly. “Or I heard it wrong!”
An Zhongtao also heard it clearly, but he didn’t care. Now when An Qingran said that, he felt wrong all of a sudden. He said, “This maid is in your yard? How come there are no rules?”
Lian Jinrong turned round and shouted at Cui Er and said, “What’s wrong with you? How come there are no rules? How do I usually teach you?”
Cui Er immediately knelt on the ground: “Furen, Cui Er is in accordance with your usual teaching, dare not not disobey ah, you do not let all the slaves call Furen?”
Lian Jinrong heard this raised her eyebrows and standup: “Stupid things, still don’t get out of here . Why did I teach you to shout like that? you are stupid, but I don’t even understand the superiors and inferiors ?”
