Chapter 98 Appearance of a Corpse I

Just then, a shrewd voice sounded, and when Qingyan turned to look, she saw Murong Jingxuan and Xuanyuan Yuzhen with a bunch of people standing behind them. Those people behind them she was rather familiar with, they seemed to be the cooks she'd reserved from Julong Zhai. But to make this big of a clamor...

Could it be that Murong Jingxuan and Xuanyuan Yuzhen were here to watch a show?

Qingyan glared to Murong Jingxuan, her gaze seemed to be saying, 'I can't believe you brought the Fourth Prince to my house to watch a show."

Murong Jingxuan helplessly shrug his shoulders. The eunuch beside Xuanyuan Yuzhen already began to read the imperial edict, saying that for Su Yun's return, this delicious meal from Julong Zhai was specially bestowed to him. The imperial edict even emphasized that this meal was for Su Yun.

After reading out the imperial edict, the eunuch left. And yet, Xuanyuan Yuzhen and Murong Jingxuan remained behind.

Qingyan saw the dishes in the cooks' hands standing before her and looked to Su Yun with a smile, "Father, do you want to eat in the main hall or in my yard?"

Su Yun glanced to the eager Su Ming and Su Yan and unwittingly thought of those things. He'd always felt he was sorry towards Qingyan, and seeing their expectant gazes, he simply said, "I'm a bit tried from the journey today, since second sister-in-law didn't prepare anything, then I'll just go to Yan'er yard."

With that said, Su Yun went ahead and left, pulling Qingyan away, and following after was Luo Bing and Su Qingyu. As for Murong Jingxuan and Xuanyuan Yuzhen, they naturally followed as well.

Seeing the crowd's back walking away in the distance, Su Ming and Su Yan could only angrily grind their teeth, but couldn't do anything about it.

Ning Siyao watched their retreating backs and could only claw into her skin. Didn't her elder brother say everything was already arranged so that Su Yun and Luo Bing won't be able to return alive. So then why did it become like this now?

Not only returning safe and sound, they even received his Majesty's bestowment of honor. Even though it was only a table of dishes, it was still his Majesty's immense favoring.

"Just what in the world is going on, second brother?" Su Yan looked to Su Ming with a look of doubt.

d second sister, that's not too possible."

In other words it meant: 'Over there, I was nothing more than an outsider.'

And who would really sincerely take care of an outsider, furthermore, an ignorant idiot.

"Yan'er, this time father's returned, do you have any wishes?" Su Yun grasped Qingyan's hand as he said this. In the end, it was all this father's fault. All these years, he's overlooked this daughter of his.

"Father, I really have been well." Qingyan looked to Su Yun with a smile, "Grandmother treats me really well too."

Su Yun didn't let anyone go invite Su Jiashi, which made Qingyan feel rather odd. Su Jiashi was Su Yun's biological mother after all, but Su Yun didn't go report to the old madam when he returned, nor take any other course of action.

And at that moment, Qingyan had invited over Su Yan's Deng Yan.

Deng Yan looked to Su Yun and Luo Bing and faced them with a bow, "Greetings elder brother, sister-in-law."

Su Yun and Luo Bing didn't have much of an impression of Deng Yan. Seeing this, Qingyan instead walked over to Deng Yan's side and spoke with a smile, "Father, mother, Deng yiniang treats me just like her own daughter."

Su Yun, seeing Qingyan and Deng Yan's intimate appearance, grew a more favorable impression of Deng Yan. "Since that's the case, then sister-in-law have a seat."

Qingyan liked Su Qingcong and Su Qingxue very much, so she called them over to sit next to her. She looked to Qingcong with a smile, "Cong'er if you like, you can eat lots today."
