Chapter 148: Like the Music of Heaven (Part )
After Su Liuyue separated from the Zheng family, she found a seat and sat down.

Because they arrived early, except for the first few rows which were already full, the other seats were still empty.

The place where Su Liuyue sat was the closest to the main seat among the existing empty seats. Even if Su Liuxue and the others were dissatisfied, they had no other choice and sat down next to Su Liuyue in silence.

Su Liuyue couldn't help but smile at them.

Although they were definitely not caring sisters, but seeing that no matter how resentful they were, they had no choice but to follow her obediently, it was... quite refreshing.

No wonder people in ancient times always loved to fight over who was the eldest son.

Soon, the seats here were filled one after another, and Princess Changxi was helped by everyone to sit on the main seat.

The following process is similar to that of the lotus viewing banquet.

Everyone had their meal first. After the meal, Princess Changxi came out and said a few words about how thankful everyone was for coming here for the banquet. Then she started to invite the women who did not perform at the last lotus viewing banquet to come up and perform one by one.

However, Su Liuyue had no appreciation for these elegant arts. She thought she had heard and seen enough at the last lotus viewing banquet, and now she couldn't help but look around bored.

There were indeed few people coming to this banquet. A rough count showed that there were at most thirty or forty people present, and women made up the majority of them. If some of the women who came this time were from ordinary families and were only able to come because they failed to perform last time, then the men who were invited this time were all young men from aristocratic families. Those with ordinary family backgrounds were not qualified to come.

Therefore, many women present were like her, their minds were not on the performance, their eyes kept secretly looking at each handsome young man.

Su Liuyue looked around with some boredom, but there was really nothing to see, so she turned her attention back to the performance of the girls in front of her. She found that the performer was a familiar face.

If she remembered correctly, the woman was in the same room with Sancho, and seemed to be a member of Zheng Jinyu's sister group.

The name seems to be... Song something...

Su Liuyue was struggling to recall the past when Su Liuxue suddenly sneered, "Song Nianrou is actually performing flute. Her musical skills are really wasted."

Su Rou, who was sitting next to Su Liuxue, seemed to be inspired as well and said, "Back then, the fourth girl of the Song family was the best in the capital in terms of her zither skills. At the age of eleven, she won first place in the hairpin flower ceremony held by the former empress with her zither skills. The ancient chief priest who was also present at the time even gave her the evaluation of 'like listening to the music of the gods and having a clearer ear'.

It's a pity that ever since she lost to Miss Zheng Wu in the art of playing the zither, she swore not to play the zither again. I'm quite curious about what the zither sound is like that made Gu Jiji so intoxicated..."

"Humph!"

Su Liuxue snorted disdainfully and said, "How could she really lose to Miss Zheng Wu? Many people secretly said that she lost to her on purpose just to please her!"

Although Su Rou didn't like Zheng Jinyu who didn't look at people with respect, she was going to marry into the Zheng family in the future. She was not happy that Su Liuxue slandered the Zheng family. She couldn't help but mutter, "But Miss Zheng Wu really plays the piano very well. If she hadn't suddenly felt unwell and didn't go to the hairpin flower party, Miss Song Si might not have won the first prize.

Miss Zheng Wu was unwilling to give in, so she challenged Miss Song Si privately..."

Su Liuxue was obviously very unhappy that Su Rou actually refuted her. She glared at her and said, "Fourth sister, you haven't even entered the Zheng family yet, but you're already so biased. It's a pity that Miss Zheng Wu has never respected you as her future sister-in-law."

Su Rou's face turned pale and she was speechless for a moment.

Seeing that their conversation was beginning to become meaningless, Su Liuyue turned her attention back to Song Nianrou who was performing.

She remembered that the Song family was once prominent, but then gradually declined, and now only held the title of Marquis of Ping An. The Sang family where Sancho belonged was better than the Song family, but not much better.

Not to mention Ye Yujun, she is just a girl from a small family. The Ye family she belongs to is at most similar to the Su family she belongs to.

Why does Zheng Jinyu like to play with girls whose family background is worse than hers? It turns out that she is a bully who only cares about the weak and fears the strong.

After Song Nianrou finished her performance, it was Sancho's turn.

She was performing calligraphy, but perhaps because she was too nervous, she wrote the last word crookedly. When the attendant next to her held up her work for everyone to see, she secretly bit her lip and looked at Zheng Jinyu's position with an embarrassed look.

She didn't perform well in her talent show, so why would she look at Zheng Jinyu like this? Zheng Jinyu doesn't care how she performed.

I’m afraid she was not looking at Zheng Jinyu, but Zheng Qilang who was beside Zheng Jinyu.

Su Liuyue couldn't help but raise her lips with interest.

She finally found something interesting at this banquet.

After waiting for a long time until everyone had finished their performance, Princess Changxi came out as usual to give a closing speech. Then, just like last time, she asked the women who had just performed not to leave in a hurry, as someone might come to look for them soon.

Su Liuyue immediately stretched a little and stood up with a relaxed and happy look on her face.

To be fair, many of the women performing this time are very talented. I'm afraid those women are the ones that Zheng Jinyu designated to drug Ye Yujun at the last lotus viewing banquet.

But she still felt a little sleepy while watching.

She was destined to have no chance of experiencing these elegant things.

She turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly saw Zheng Jinyu and her little sisters walking towards her not far away. They looked aggressive and it was obvious that they had no good intentions.

Finally, they stood in front of Su Liuyue's seat. Zheng Jinyu raised her chin and said, "My seventh brother has always told me to get along well with you, and I am not someone who doesn't listen to advice. Although we had some unpleasantness before, I will not bother with you for the sake of my seventh brother.

There is a lake to the east of this villa. It is said that half of the lake is inside the villa and half is outside the villa. The whole villa is built facing the lake. The scenery is particularly spectacular and unique. Do you want to go with us to take a look?"

Su Liuxue and Su Rou, who were standing by, were extremely surprised when they saw this.

Su Liuyue looked at her for a while, then raised her eyebrows slightly, smiled politely and distantly, "I'm really sorry, I got up a little early today, and I'm a little sleepy, so I want to go back to my room to rest.

Go on your own and have some fun.”

Zheng Jinyu seemed to have not expected that Su Liuyue would reject her so straightforwardly. Her expression suddenly changed. Seeing that Su Liuyue was really turning around and about to leave, she hurriedly said, "Wait! I came here specially to invite you, and this is how you turn your back on me?

It's just a short walk to the lake, it won't take more than a quarter of an hour, are you so sleepy that you can't even wait for such a short time?!"

Su Liuyue pulled the corner of her mouth, made a helpless expression and said: "I am really too sleepy to even walk. I appreciate Miss Zheng Wu's kindness. There are more than just me in the Su family. Miss Zheng Wu wants to get closer to our Su family, so it's the same if I let my fourth sister and sixth sister go with you..."
