Shengjing Noble

Chapter 428 8 Lifting the sedan chair

Su Yongcheng brought Su Shenghao and Su Lanxin into the lobby. After looking around, his eyes were fixed on the table in the center.

There were still a few empty seats over there, and the people sitting next to them were either the Shangshu or the General of the Nation.

In the past, he disdained socializing and was not good at flattering others. After all, he was arrogant and always looked noble and proud.

But now, without Lu Wanjun helping him plan and pave the way behind the scenes, he no longer acted pretentiously and hurried over to greet her with a fawning look on his face.

Unfortunately, no one at the table paid any attention to him. Even if they heard him, they turned a deaf ear to him and instead continued chatting and laughing with others, pretending he didn't exist.

If it were in the past, if Su Yongcheng encountered failure, he would definitely turn around and leave, leaving the mess to Lu Wanjun.

But now, he felt that he could not miss this opportunity.

As long as he can stay in Beijing and work, he can continue to climb up. And now that Liu Ruyan is gone, there is no obstacle between him and Lu Wanjun, so they will still reconcile.

He thought to himself and sat down in the main seat.

It would have been fine if he hadn't sat down. As soon as he sat down, everyone else at the table stared at him with an unhappy look on their face.

"This is Shopkeeper Lu's seat. Who allowed you to sit down?"

The men were too embarrassed to speak, and Ji Yun didn't care. She directly questioned Su Yongcheng about her unhappiness, not giving him any face at all.

"Who are you? You sneaked in here to get a meal, and you sat in an inconspicuous place. You even went to the seat of the master. You didn't even take a piss and look at yourself!"

She came from a family of military generals, and although she was considered a lady of noble family, she did not have the qualities of a virtuous lady.

This is also the reason why she and Lu Wanjun have similar personalities.

The people at the table looked disdainful, and the meaning was self-evident.

Su Yongcheng was immediately embarrassed and hurriedly explained, "Madam Li, Wanjun and I are the original couple after all, and we will reconcile sooner or later. I am her man, and I sit in this position, so why can't I do that?"

These words made Ji Yun laugh out of anger. She slammed the table, stood up, and looked down at him, with disdain evident in her eyes.

"You are worthy? At first you thought Wanjun was a merchant's daughter and was not worthy of a poor scholar from the countryside like you. Why are you so shameless to cling to her now? Lord Su, you are really an eye-opener!"

Li Shian also asked back, "Yes, my wife is right. Su Yongcheng, as far as I know, you and Shopkeeper Lu have already signed a divorce agreement. Since you have already divorced, that means there is no relationship anymore, right?"

Without waiting for Su Yongcheng to speak, General Helan Lu, who had been silent for a long time, slammed the table angrily.

"This general is here only because of the invitation of Shopkeeper Lu. If you had told me earlier that you were going to sit in this seat, I wouldn't have eaten the meal!"

After saying that, he looked at his wife and son beside him.

Yu Hui first pulled Helan Ye to stand up, her face cold: "My husband and I agree. Since it is Lord Su who is treating us, we will take our leave."

After saying that, he turned and left, and Helan Lu hurriedly followed.

Li Shian and Ji Yun looked at each other, then left hand in hand.

The remaining people at the table immediately stood up, and as if afraid of walking too slowly, they rushed to leave.

When Su Yongcheng saw this, he felt as if his face was being trampled upon, but he could not care less and could only hurry after him.

Lu Wanjun happened to be at the door. When she saw them coming out, she immediately greeted them with a smile.

"What's going on? Why are you coming to the door to accompany me instead of sitting and waiting for the food?"

"Manager Lu, we are here today just for your sake. Why do you let us sit at the same table with that ungrateful Su Yongcheng? You are clearly looking down on us!"

Ji Yun was the first to attack. She seemed to be questioning Lu Wanjun, but in fact she disliked Su Yongcheng.

Others also followed suit.

Lu Wanjun frowned and looked at Su Yongcheng who was chasing after her, and she understood.

"This is all a misunderstanding. I reserved that table for myself and my children. How could I let others sit there?"

Helan Ye said in a baby voice: "But that annoying uncle sat down. Ye'er doesn't like him, and neither does mother and father."

The child's words touched everyone's heart. Everyone who came today knew what Su Yongcheng had done.

To say that they don't like it is already a sign of their good manners; to put it bluntly, they hate it.

When Su Yongcheng heard this, he stood behind and hesitated whether to come forward.

Finally, he thought that since he had come here in vain, he must not give up until he achieved his goal, so he gritted his teeth and went over.

"Everyone, I know I was wrong in the past, but I had no choice. Liu Ruyan is the daughter of a marquis. She has the final say in the family. How can I, a scholar from a poor family, dare to compete with her?"

"Besides, I wrote the divorce letter for Wanjun's sake. I was afraid that she would continue to suffer in the Su family. Now that Liu Ruyan has run away, I can finally be myself again, so I hurried over to apologize."

"To be honest, I came here today to ask Wanjun to forgive me. As long as she is willing, I will immediately take her back with a sedan chair. From now on, she will be my legal wife and the legitimate mistress of the Su family."

"Not only that, the children she gave birth to also became legitimate sons and daughters. This can be regarded as my compensation to her and the children. What do you think?"

He looked at everyone expectantly, and in his heart he felt that his proposal was perfect.

And Lu Wanjun suddenly became the principal wife from a concubine. Isn't this what she wanted?

After hearing these words, everyone's expressions were indescribable. They felt as disgusted as if they had eaten a fly, but they were helpless.

Su Yongcheng has a mouth on his face, and no one could have predicted that he would say such disgusting words.

Lu Wanjun had long been accustomed to his self-righteousness. She sneered inwardly, and for the first time, she seriously re-examined this man.

When she was a young girl, she just started to fall in love. She had never experienced any emotional setbacks and had always been the apple of her father and brother's eyes.

But they were often busy with business and had no time to take care of her.

When she needed someone to accompany her, Su Yongcheng appeared and gave her brief comfort.

So, she mistakenly thought that was love.

She told her father that she wanted to marry Su Yongcheng, but was rejected on the spot. It happened that at that time she wanted her father's attention and her personality was in a rebellious stage.

In a fit of anger, he made a fait accompli with Su Yongcheng without knowing it.

She regretted it at the time, but then she thought that she had no choice, and Su Yongcheng treated her very well at that time.

After gritting his teeth, he really got married.

Fortunately, Su Yongcheng worked hard and ranked among the top three in the exam. She thought that her good days were finally coming and her father would recognize her vision.

Unexpectedly, Liu Ruyan appeared...
