Dou Ying's face stiffened, and she slapped him again: "Shut up!"
The crowd's expressions were varied, and they all understood the general situation.
Half a month ago, Su Xingzhe was imprisoned for raping a woman under the guise of official business. During this time, the second master of the Su family had run all over the Jingzhao Prefecture without success.
No wonder Dou Ying was so humble today, sending gifts and saying nice words. It turned out she had something to ask for.
Su Yunmo sneered in her heart.
Indeed, she was a weasel.
Zhou Wanyou frowned and asked them to leave: "If she is unwilling to apologize, so be it. The birthday banquet is about to begin. Sister-in-law, you should take your daughter back."
"I'm really sorry today. This girl is too ill-mannered. I will definitely make her apologize later and won't let Momo suffer injustice. Fourth sister-in-law, please rest assured." Dou Ying pleaded earnestly.
She forcibly pulled Su Yinyin up from the ground, covered her mouth, and dragged her to the side, but did not leave: "Don't delay the auspicious time. Fourth sister-in-law, you go ahead and busy yourself."
Zhou Wanyou couldn't forcibly drive them away, so she could only arrange food and drinks: "The children are noisy, and I apologize to everyone for the laughter. The mansion has prepared a sumptuous feast. Please be seated."
The guests had come to make friends with the General's Mansion, and at this time, they all congratulated Su Siqi and took their seats.
The hall became lively again, drowning out Dou Ying's scolding of Su Yinyin from the corner.
A large table of fruits and pastries was also set up for the children.
Chen Mingmo finally had the chance to take out the specially prepared pastries for Su Yunmo: "Momo, don't listen to Su Yinyin's nonsense. You are the cutest child." xxs壹贰
"That's right, that's right." Su Siyuan chimed in, secretly pinching the corner of the red cloth bag and pulling out a piece of bamboo.
Su Siqi slapped him, and Su Siyuan wailed, covering his head and squatting to the side.
Su Yunmo opened the cloth bag and said ingratiatingly, "Second brother, do you like it?"
Inside was a bamboo flute.
"You made it, so I like it." Su Siqi pinched her face, took the bamboo flute, and his heart trembled.
Although the bamboo flute looked ordinary, the moment he touched it, a strange power surged. It wasn't heavy, but it had a weighty feeling.
This contained power was something that even the most skilled old craftsman could not achieve.
"Momo, tell second brother the truth, did you really make this?"
He had handled many good things, and this item was definitely not ordinary.
The little dumpling nodded, swinging her small feet: "Mmm~ Time was a bit tight, and although it's a bit rough, the benefits of the bamboo flute will gradually appear over time."
Nourished by the glazed lock for a night, and with her own infusion of abilities, wearing it as an accessory could strengthen the body.
The other children also crowded around to touch it curiously, and their eyes lit up after each touch.
Chen Mingmo was particularly envious.
It was so nice. If only Momo could come to my house. Last time it was my birthday, Momo didn't give me such a good gift.
Su Siqi was very happy and couldn't help but kiss the little dumpling's face: "As expected of my sister!"
So capable at such a young age.
Su Siyuan rubbed his hands and pouted enviously: "Momo is so biased. She never gave third brother such a good gift."
When he was the one who usually protected her the most.
Su Yunmo: "Next time it's third brother's birthday, Momo will make one for you too."
Su Siyuan: "Okay!"
On the other side, Su Sizhuo coughed.
Su Yunmo immediately turned her head to ingratiate herself: "Of course, there's older brother's too."
There was a smile in Su Sizhuo's eyes.
That's more like it.
The other children also gathered around Su Yunmo, demanding better gifts for their birthdays.
Su Siqi affectionately put the bamboo flute away at his waist, preventing them from touching it: "Second brother is happy today. I'll take you somewhere fun later."
Momo was so well-behaved today, he had to show some appreciation.
Su Siyuan's eyes immediately lit up: "I want to go too!"
Chen Mingmo also clamored to go upon hearing this, pulling on Su Yunmo's sleeve at the same time.
She had finally seen Momo, and they hadn't even spoken a few words. She couldn't let her be taken away again.
Su Siqi generously waved his hand: "Everyone go. I'll cover all the food and drink expenses for today."
The children became even more excited. It was rare to have a chance to get money from the stingy one.
While Zhou Wanyou was still entertaining guests, the children discussed sneaking away.
With the mute slave providing cover, they circumvented the corner and went out.
Just as they reached the door, Dou Ying stopped them.
"Are you few going out? Take Yinyin with you."
Su Yinyin was pushed in front of them. She saw the bamboo flute on Su Siqi's waist, tightly clenched both sides of her feet, and her red eyes were filled with indignation.
She really didn't understand. How could such a simple broken flute be compared to her jade fan? Why was it worth him cherishing it so much!
Su Yunmo yawned, leaning in Su Siqi's arms.
Dou Ying was really persistent.
Su Siqi rubbed the little dumpling's face in his arms: "We're not going out. Momo is tired, so we're taking her to sleep."
Dou Ying didn't believe it, but as an elder, she couldn't expose the children's obvious lie of evasion. She just pushed Su Yinyin forward.
Su Yinyin held back tears and apologized to Su Yunmo: "Momo, I'm sorry. I was wrong just now. Can you let me go with you?"
Mother said that if she couldn't please them today, she would be kicked out of the house.
She knew that for her elder brother, her mother could abandon her without hesitation.
Su Yunmo frowned.
Su Siqi pressed the little dumpling's head with one hand, hugging her to prevent her from looking.
"The banquet has already begun. If Second Aunt doesn't plan to leave, please take your daughter and be seated. I won't accompany you."
He walked out, and the others followed.
Su Yinyin watched their retreating backs, her nose stinging, and tears were about to fall.
"So useless! What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and chase after them!" Dou Ying angrily pinched her arm.
Su Yinyin cried out in pain, tears in her eyes: "Mother, you saw it too. They won't let me go. What can I do?"
To put it bluntly, her elder brother was locked up because he was incompetent. Why should she bear the blame in the end?
"If they don't let you go, just follow behind. Can they still hit you?" Dou Ying paused and added.
"Even if they hit you, you have to endure it. If you can't even bear this little grievance, your elder brother really doted on you for nothing!"
Su Yinyin's forehead was poked, and facing Dou Ying's indifferent gaze, she could only swallow her grievances, wipe her tears fiercely, and follow.
A carriage was prepared at the entrance of the General's Mansion. Several people squeezed into the same carriage.
Su Siqi ordered the carriage to move.
The carriage curtain was lifted, and Su Yinyin crawled in.
The people in the carriage looked at her simultaneously, their faces showing clear displeasure.
Su Yinyin felt increasingly wronged and resentful. She said nothing, just squatted in the corner.
Her pitiful appearance made even Su Siyuan, who wanted to drive her away, speechless.
"Let's go," Su Sizhuo said.
The others continued to surround Su Yunmo, chatting, and no one paid any attention to Su Yinyin.
Su Yinyin clenched her fists, swallowed her tears, and secretly made a vow.
