"With Grandmother and Mother Supervisor working together, Wan is so lucky. How could she not like it?" This sentence made Old Lady Su smile until her eyes curved in amusement. Tonight's family banquet, at Old Lady Su's request, was placed in a courtyard called the Wind Hearing Courtyard. Su Qiu had all sorts of requests for Su Xiuting to attend the family banquet, but Old Lady Su still did not nod in agreement.

When everyone arrived at the Wind Academy, Su Qiu was already waiting for them. He quickly went up to Old Lady Su to support her, but she shook her head and politely rejected him.

"Please take a seat. I have Wan to accompany you, so there's no problem." Old Lady Su's tone was cold while Su Wanrou lowered her eyes, concealing the strange look in her eyes. She could guess the reason behind the gap between the two of them.

After waiting on the madame for a while, Su Wanrou finally took her seat. However, this seat was a little awkward as it happened to be opposite of Su Qiu. The two of them sat beside the madame.

Su Qiu frowned, then reprimanded, "Child, do you have any rules? How could he sit opposite of an elder? Hurry up and go sit down! "

Madam Ning's hand that was holding the bowl tightened. She raised her eyes and signaled Su Wanrou not to contradict Su Qiu. After all, in front of Old Lady Su, this kind of thing would make people laugh, and Old Lady Su feel that Su Wanrou wasn't filial.

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet. Su Qiu's concubines were all looking at the table with their mouths and noses as if they were just watching a show. Old Lady Su looked around and saw Su Wanrou put down the small bowl, getting up to change seats.

At this moment, Su Wanrou froze. She felt a hand on her arm. Looking down, Old Lady Su said with a kind smile, "Sit down. Grandmother wants you to stay with me for the rest of today."

Su Wanrou's gaze turned warm as she understood that her grandmother was standing on her side. She immediately sat down and gave Old Lady Su a piece of fresh, tender fish.

Su Qiu felt that he had lost some face, but he couldn't make a move on his mother. The anger in his heart shifted to Su Wanrou. No matter how he looked at his daughter, she was not pleasing to his eyes.

Su Qiu always felt that compared to his Xiuting, she was not obedient at all!

"Mother, drink some soup." Mother, drink some soup. Madam Ning suddenly said. She stood up and scooped up a bowl of soup for Old Lady Su.

Old Lady Su laughed. Su Wanrou stood up to take it for Old Lady Su. "Grandmother, Wan has returned today. She will be by Grandmother's side every day, making Grandmother smile often and having a good appetite!"

This time, the atmosphere between the table was joyous and harmonious. Su Qiu felt even more uneasy. He had a feeling that he was an outsider.

"Alas, Ting Er should miss her mother a lot for today's banquet …" Su Qiu spoke with a rather desolate tone.

Old Lady Su frowned, unhappy that her son would mention Su Xiuting at such a time.

Seeing this, Madam Ning hurriedly tried to comfort her, "Mother, don't be angry. Husband was just missing his children …"

Su Wanrou secretly laughed. Her mother was really something. Didn't she just say that Su Qiu didn't miss her? This pit was dug out well!

The concubines sensed the atmosphere and lowered their heads to pretend to be deaf.

"What is it? Do you think Wan isn't your son or daughter? You just have to worry about that woman who can't make it onto the stage! " She had fought in the backyard all her life, and she herself was also a proper wife who valued rules the most. But right now, her family was in decline, so she hated those foxes the most. And Aunt Ji had offended her in every way, even Su Xiuting, who didn't know the rules, hated her.

Now that Su Qiu's words were heard by Madam Ning, she was immediately angered. If this son of his was helping his concubines like this inside and outside, wouldn't Su Family become a joke if word of this were to spread?

Su Qiu's face slightly swelled up. He didn't expect that his mother would not give him a nice face in front of so many people. He immediately became displeased, "Mom, Wan is your granddaughter, so Ting Er isn't? "Ting Er is younger than Wan, why can't you be more tolerant?"

There was a dark glint in Su Wanrou's eyes. Su Xiuting was only a few months younger than her. She was 12 years old and was still so delicate. When she thought about how she suffered a huge loss at the hands of such a person and even lost her life, she felt like slapping herself twice. This was too stupid!

Old Lady Su's anger was obviously not light. Her chest was heaving up and down. Su Wanrou stretched out her hand to try to comfort Old Lady Su. Her gaze shifted to Su Qiu as she said in a clear and cold voice, "Since that's the case, let Third Sister come out and enjoy the feast."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Madam Ning glared at her without anyone noticing. What was this foolish girl talking about? The empress dowager had ordered them to be locked up and thought about it. She actually wanted to release them?

She knew that Su Xiuting had hurt Su Wanrou a few days ago, so it was only natural that she felt a little bit angry. However, hearing Su Wanrou's words now, she did not seem to care at all, and only now did she realize that this granddaughter of hers was not as quiet and obedient as she used to be. Her eyes were deep and profound, and her black pupils were like a bottomless black hole.

This surprised Old Lady Su. She felt that Su Wanrou had changed too much in the past few days.

However, in the next moment, Su Wanrou smiled at Old Lady Su. She looked three times more obedient and three times more gentle. The rest of her smile was filled with benevolence and ignorance.

Seemingly the most ordinary girl in the room, Old Lady Su blinked. She felt that she must have been mistaken.

After a long while, Su Qiu hurriedly waved at the servant beside him, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and invite the C-list sister over!"

Su Wanrou sat down, unperturbed by the stares of the crowd. Madam Ning felt helpless and that her daughter was being too kind.

While everyone waited, only a few people spoke. Old Lady Su gradually calmed down and Su Xiuting arrived late.

Su Xiuting was dressed in a light yellow dress. Her usually pretty and sweet face was now very careful, making people feel sorry for her. At least, Su Qiu couldn't wait to pull her over and sit down to comfort her.

However, Su Qiu restrained himself. After all, the empress dowager had ordered Su Xiuting to think things over. He was too concerned about her, so he was a little dissatisfied with her. Su Qiu was still more concerned about his career than Su Xiuting.

"Sit down. Today is a feast for your elder sister. Your elder sister said that you could come out." Old Lady Su sighed as she slowly spoke. When one was old, one would desire to see the Inner Academy at peace. Old Lady Su was no exception.
