Chapter 140 Her Greatest Sincerity (Update )
Su Liuyue looked at Guo in astonishment and instantly got goose bumps all over her body. She almost suspected that Guo knew that her Man Yifang had started doing it again and was planning to take advantage of her.

After patiently listening to what Guo said, she suddenly understood.

Princess Changxi was actually going to hold another banquet, and this time she announced that she would only invite those women who were unable to perform at the last lotus viewing banquet, as well as several major families in the capital, and no one else.

Just when the Su family was fully convinced that this banquet had nothing to do with them, someone from the Princess's Mansion came and respectfully handed them an invitation.

Guo was so surprised and flattered. This banquet was more like Princess Changxi's private banquet. Compared with the previous lotus viewing banquet, she would have more opportunities to interact with Princess Changxi. Not to mention, Princess Changxi had already said that she would also invite several children from Xinjing's aristocratic families to attend.

How could ordinary people dare to dream of such a banquet? As long as you can go, it is a symbol of status!

However, when Guo happily opened the invitation, she found that only Su Liuyue was invited to the banquet! It was said that Princess Changxi was very grateful to Su Liuyue for helping her subdue the evil snake last time, so she invited her to attend the banquet.

What Su Liuyue didn't know was that Guo's expression immediately became very interesting.

Then, she returned home and fell into the trap.

After understanding the whole story, Su Liuyue raised her eyebrows slightly and said with a smile, "Mother, do you want me to take my fourth and sixth sisters with me?"

Guo's face froze slightly, secretly cursing this girl for being so naive, but she still smiled brightly and said, "Yes, it will be so boring if you go there alone without anyone familiar to accompany you. Mother is not invited in this post, so it's not easy for her to go with you. But you can take your two sisters with you, just like an elder sister taking her younger sisters to see the world. When Princess Changxi finds out, she will praise you for being a thoughtful elder sister.

If you three sisters go together, you can take care of each other, and your mother will be at home, so she won’t have to worry so much..."

After returning from the lotus viewing banquet, she just couldn't understand why Princess Changxi didn't accept her Xueer as her student!

Mingming Xueer said that when Princess Changxi met them alone, she kept praising her and admired her very much.

Because of this incident, Xueer stayed alone in her room for several days and didn't eat much.

The only thing to be thankful for is that Princess Changxi was not blind enough to take this dead girl in.

However, even if she couldn't become Princess Changxi's student, it would be good for her Xue'er to get closer to Princess Changxi. Besides, her Xue'er hadn't gotten engaged yet! During the last lotus viewing banquet, they were so focused on the talent show that Xue'er didn't have the chance to meet those children from aristocratic families. This time was a great opportunity!

Su Liuyue looked at Guo with a half-smile, neither saying anything good nor bad, and only said, "Mother said that I can't be so shameless as to follow her. I'm afraid that my fourth and sixth sisters don't have such thick skins either."

The smile on Guo's face froze even more. She couldn't help but clench her hands at her sides into fists, but she still said with a smile on her face: "You are sisters. How can you be called shameless when you act together as sisters? Princess Changxi's invitation didn't say that only you can go to the banquet..."

Su Liuyue didn't want to make things too awkward with Guo. After all, she still wanted to live a peaceful life in the Su family for a few more days.

But it was impossible for her to bring Su Rou and Su Liuxue to the banquet without any hesitation and serve as a stepping stone for them.

She looked at Guo with a smile and said, "Mother is right. We are sisters after all. But... last time I went to a banquet, my aunt said that I was dressed too plainly and didn't look like someone who was going to a banquet. Fortunately, there were many people at the Lotus Appreciation Banquet last time, so not many people noticed my dress.

But there are not many people attending this banquet. If I still dress so plainly, wouldn't it seem...too disrespectful to Princess Changxi?"

Guo secretly took a deep breath, and the smile on her face could no longer be maintained. She said stiffly, "What do you want?" Su Liuyue smiled, "Nothing. My aunt said at the last lotus viewing banquet that my grandfather had only my mother as a daughter, and he doted on her. When my mother got married, he specially found a famous craftsman to make a set of red gold, ruby-inlaid, and silk-wrapped peony headdress for my mother. If my mother were still alive, she would definitely give me that set of headdress to dress up on such an important occasion..."

The Xue family was not a wealthy family, and this set of headwear was the most valuable set of jewelry in the original owner's mother's dowry.

The rest were basically some worthless little things, and it would be easy for her to ask Guo for them later.

What's more, this set of jewelry was designed by the original owner's grandfather himself, and the original owner's mother cherished and loved it very much when she was alive. Getting this set of jewelry back can also comfort the original owner and her mother in their afterlife.

Guo never expected that the first thing she said was to cut out her heart and liver!
The jewelry was so luxurious that she fell in love with it the first time she saw it, and she had secretly taken it out to wear many times over the years.

She originally... originally wanted to play dumb and just keep the jewelry for herself!

It's all the fault of the Xue family! When this dead girl's mother died, she was only a few months old. If it weren't for the Xue family fanning the flames behind her, how would she know that her dead mother's dowry had such a set of jewelry!
Guo secretly took several deep breaths before she calmed herself down, and said with a twitch of her lips, "You mean that headgear... that headgear is luxurious, but because it is too luxurious, it is generally only suitable for wearing on some important occasions.

This banquet is not like the last lotus viewing banquet. It is more like Princess Changxi's private banquet. It would be too exaggerated for you to go with this set of headgear.

Why don’t you pick out some suitable and elegant jewelry for you from A Niang or Xue Er’s jewelry…”

"I have never seen that headgear, and I have no way of judging whether it is suitable for me to wear it to this banquet."

Su Liuyue said innocently, "Besides, everyone has different aesthetic tastes. Maybe in my mother's opinion, this headgear is too expensive, but in my opinion, it's just right.
Never mind. I just felt that Princess Changxi thought so highly of me that she was willing to invite me to the banquet even though she knew that I only stepped on the snake accidentally. I wanted to dress up nicely and go there in a way that best showed my sincerity.

If my mother doesn’t want me to wear my mother’s headgear, I won’t go to the banquet at all…”

"How is this possible!"

Guo's face suddenly changed.

Does this damn girl know how rare this opportunity is?

Finally, she could only grit her teeth and force a smile, saying, "Okay, since you think that only by wearing your mother's headgear can you show your greatest sincerity, I will have someone send that headgear over in a moment.

When the time comes, you have to act like a good elder sister and take good care of your two younger sisters."

Su Liuyue stopped when she saw that things were going well, and immediately smiled and said cheerfully: "This is natural, don't worry, mother!"

She is relieved, but if she is relieved, there will be something fishy!
Guo felt that her heart was about to explode and she didn't want to stay here any longer. She pretended to be a loving mother and asked her to have a good rest. Then she turned around and walked out quickly.

As soon as she walked out, Madam Lu, who was supporting her, said viciously, "This little bitch is getting more and more arrogant! But, Madam, are you really going to return the headgear to her? That bastard General Wu is still coming here every day to knock on the bamboo pole, and the inner treasury...is it almost empty?"

If that set of headgear were pawned, it would be worth a lot of money!
