Chapter 142: The Responsibility of the Eldest Daughter (Part )
Su Rou suddenly beamed with joy and cried out, "Jiulang!"
After saying that, she quickly leaned forward and said, "Driver, stop the car, stop the car!"
At this time, Su Liuyue also saw the familiar figure not far away, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
It turned out to be her cheap ex-fiancé—Zheng Baizong. Needless to say, everyone in that group must be from the Zheng family.
Why do I meet so many annoying people along the way?
The Zheng family had a total of four carriages. At this time, they all gathered around the first carriage. Upon closer inspection, they found that the front right wheel of the carriage was stuck in a puddle.
It had just rained this morning and there was still a lot of water on the ground. There was probably a crack in the ground below the small puddle, but it was covered by the rain, making people mistakenly think that it was just an ordinary puddle.
Su Liuyue and his friends' carriage finally stopped next to the Zheng family's carriage. Su Rou hurriedly walked down and greeted Zheng Baizong with a happy look, "Jiulang, why are you here?"
Zheng Baizong frowned slightly and said, "We are heading to the villa where Princess Changxi is holding a banquet. You...are going there too. Why haven't I heard you say that?"
Speaking of this, Su Rou's face turned ugly.
How could she say that they went there to take advantage of Su Liuyue?
She said vaguely: "I didn't hear you say you were going there..."
As the two were talking, a gentle and cheerful voice suddenly came from not far away, "Is the person in the carriage from Doctor Su's residence? We have some problems here, so please forgive us for not being able to come forward to greet you.
Jiulang, the wheels of this carriage are stuck tightly, come over here first, and we will pull the carriage out together."
The person who spoke was a handsome man wearing a white robe with a blue edge and auspicious cloud pattern. He looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old, and exuded a natural noble demeanor.
Zheng Baizong seemed to be very obedient to the young man's words. He responded immediately, and without saying a word to Su Rou, he turned around and walked back.
Su Rou couldn't help showing a bit of disappointment on her face, but her eyes couldn't help but look shyly at the man not far away.
Su Liuyue in the carriage took all of this in and couldn't help but feel curious.
Who is that young man?
Suddenly, a disdainful sneer came from the other side, and then Su Liuxue's voice sounded, "Third sister, you'd better not look at it. You were engaged to Zheng Jiulang before, which was considered marrying above your station. There is no way Zheng Qilang would be interested in you."
Su Liuyue turned to look at her, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Is this Zheng Qilang a legitimate son?"
The Zheng family is a large family with so many men and women in it that Su Liuyue really can’t recognize them all.
Su Liuxue raised her chin and snorted, saying, "Zheng Qilang is of course a legitimate son, and he is the only one of the Zheng family's current generation who has not yet married at the appropriate age.
He just turned 19 this year and he has already taken up an important position in the Dali Temple. His future is immeasurable.
For a man like this, both he and the Zheng family would definitely attach great importance to his marriage, so you should forget about it."
If she tries hard, maybe there is still a chance.
Among the men that her mother asked her to pay attention to, Zheng Qillang was one of them.
However, Zheng Qilang's official position is still a bit low, he is just a Dali Temple Sizhi. Although A Niang said that this position was just given by the Zheng family to Zheng Qilang to test the waters, if there is a better candidate, why wouldn't she choose it?
Su Liuyue? Forget it.
Su Liuyue looked at her with a half-smile. In her eyes, she was like a sex-hungry ghost who would eat anything.
However, it seems that among the people from the Zheng family who are traveling this time, the one with the highest status is Zheng Qilang.
At this moment, with the neat shouts of "one, two, one, two" not far away, the carriage that was stuck in the puddle was finally pulled out.
Zheng Qilang's smiling voice sounded, "Okay, we can finally get going! Yu'er, Jiulang, come with me and pay our respects to the people at Doctor Su's residence." A female voice that I had only heard a few days ago sounded, "Ah! Brother Qi, what's so good about meeting those people from the Su family? We might as well hurry up and get on the road..."
When Su Liuyue looked out just now, she saw Zheng Jinyu.
Standing with her were Ye Yujun, whom she had met in the teahouse that day, and the woman in blue.
Su Liuyue looked up at the sky silently.
She didn't really want to see them.
It would be best if Zheng Jinyu could stop her nosy seventh brother.
However, Zheng Qilang obviously still had some dignity as an elder brother, and immediately lowered his voice and said, "How dare you! What do you mean by those people from the Su family? Yu'er, the fourth lady Su is still here, and she is now Jiulang's fiancée! The Su family and our Zheng family are also related, and your attitude is really too rude!"
When Zheng Qillang said this, he did not deliberately lower his voice, and it was obvious that he was speaking to them.
Su Liuyue couldn't help but think to herself, never mind who this Zheng Qilang is, he appears to be quite well-educated and well-mannered.
Soon, Zheng Qilang's voice came from outside the carriage, "We were busy dealing with our own affairs just now and were unable to come over to greet you in time. I hope everyone in the Su family will not be offended.
I am the seventh son of the Zheng family. I wonder which members of the Su family are here this time?"
Su Liuyue is the eldest daughter of the Su family after all, so she is the only one who can come forward at this moment.
She lifted the curtain, smiled faintly at the people outside, and said, "Zheng Qilang is polite. This time, I am the only one in our family who received the invitation from Her Royal Highness the Princess. My mother asked me to bring my two younger sisters to the banquet, so only the three of us came.
As we are both juniors, Zheng Qilang should just speak casually. "
When he saw such a beautiful and graceful girl coming out after the carriage curtain was lifted, Zheng Qilang was stunned and even in a trance for a moment.
Zheng Baizong and Zheng Jinyu were shocked.
They had not paid attention to the Su family's carriage just now. Deep down, they believed that even if someone from the Su family was going to the banquet, it couldn't be Su Liuyue!
Zheng Jinyu couldn't even control herself and shrieked, "How could it be you!"
Su Liuyue turned to look at her, raised the corner of her mouth slightly and said, "Why not me? Didn't I say that Her Royal Highness the Princess only invited me this time?"
Su Rou and Su Liuxue, who were standing by, were both angry and anxious. Su Liuyue's statement was simply saying that they were here to take advantage of her!
However, what she said was the truth, and no matter how aggrieved they were, they did not dare to say anything more.
Zheng Jinyu's eyes widened and he wanted to say something, but was stopped by Zheng Qillang's eyes.
Zheng Qilang turned around and said with a look of sudden realization, "I heard that at the lotus viewing banquet held at the Princess's residence last time, a girl from the Su family stepped forward and caught the green snake that suddenly appeared and caused chaos. Could it be that the girl... is the girl?"
Zheng Qilang immediately thought of the reason why she was invited by Princess Changxi.
Quite clever.
Su Liuyue smiled and said, "I don't deserve to step forward, I just happened to step on you. I'm the third child in the family, Zheng Qilang can call me Miss Su San."
Zheng Qilang couldn't help but be stunned.
The woman in front of him had bright eyes and white teeth, was generous and bright, and smiled happily. She was not as unbearable as the rumors said!
Because she had been engaged to his ninth brother, and...something like that happened, Zheng Qillang had of course heard of her.
But this is the first time I’ve seen him in person.
Seeing that he just stared at her without saying anything for a long time, Su Liuyue couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly, "Zheng Qilang?"
Zheng Qilang suddenly came back to his senses, and hurriedly coughed lightly and bowed, saying, "It is fate that we meet Miss Su San and her group on the road. If Miss Su San doesn't mind, please go with us to the Princess's villa!"
Su Liuyue chuckled, and glanced at Zheng Baizong and Zheng Jinyu, whose faces were more sinister than the other, and said leisurely, "I don't care, but I'm afraid... Zheng Jiulang and Zheng Wu will not welcome us."
