Lady Su’s Revenge

Chapter 278 Dongfang Huan’er

Along the sound of footsteps, people saw a beautiful woman in a palace dress and a young man in a golden robe. Surrounded by more than a dozen of people eagerly, they came resplendently.

The man in a golden robe was Dongfang Yang, who met Zhao Xiyuan before, while the woman in a palace dress was the protagonist of the feast, Dongfang Yuyan, Fourth Princess.

At once, many men from ordinary families immediately got up to salute.

“Fourth Princess and Fifth Prince.”

The woman in a palace dress smiled. Her gentle voice spread all over the feast, “The feast I hold today is a private one. You don’t need to be too polite. Sit down, please.”

“Thank you, Forth Princess!”

After they took their seats, Fourth Princess glanced around, and then turned her attention to Su Li and Ling Li. Finally she turned to Dongfang Yang and said with a smile, “I’m flattered that you have time to attend my feast even if you are so busy.”

Dongfang Yang laughed and said, “You regard me as an outsider. This is what I should do.”

Dongfang Yuyan gently hummed and didn’t talk any more. Of course, she knew clearly that Dongfang Yang didn’t come here to support her. But there was no need to offend Fifth Brother for merits.

“I propose a toast!”

Dongfang Yuyan picked up her wine cup and said with a smile, “You are all the newly wedded people in Yunjing City in recent years. Here, wish you grow old together!”

Receiving the blessing of the princess, a lot of people were very excited. They picked up the cup to drink and said together, “Thanks, Princess!”

Su Li also held up her glass and took a sip gently, which aimed to respect Dongfang Yuyan. Ling Li only concentrated on eating and drinking, and had no intention of talking with Dongfang Yuyan. Since he sat in the forefront, his performance certainly spoiled people’s enthusiasm.

Feeling that all the people were looking at him, Ling Li raised his head and smiled, revealing his mouth full of food. It was disgusting. Even Su Li quietly turned away.

Dongfang Yuyan hated him because of what happened in those days, but now seeing Ling Li, who had not changed, she frowned slightly and immediately smiled, “You’re so hungry in your last life that you have to eat like this? Don’t be choked.”

Hearing the sarcasm of Dongfang Yuyan, people were nervous. The feast that had been bustling was immediately quiet.

“Cough…”

Ling Li seemed to be choked. He couldn’t help coughing. He snatched Su Li’s teacup and drank it up. Then he hammered his chest several times before he could breathe. He said, “Sister Yuyan, how can you still curse people after so many years?”

“You…”

Seeing that Ling Li dared to talk about what happened in that year, Dongfang Yuyan immediately had a different look. She was very angry. After a while, she calmed down. She turned to look at Su Li, who looked slightly embarrassed. She felt more comfortable. She said softly,

“Well, for the sake of Sister Su Li, I don’t make a fuss about that today.”

After that, she clapped her hands gently. There was a group of dancers dancing in the feast, accompanied by the gentle melody in front of the rockery.

Su Li paid attention to the dance floor and took a sip of the osmanthus wine from time to time. The feast held by Dongfang Yuyan was really costly. The wine was the first-class osmanthus wine of the Linli Building. The wine would cost millions of silvers.

“Honey, am I good today?”

Ling Li suddenly got close to her and breathed in her ear. He stared at Su Li’s chests. His eyes were full of desire. He wanted to reach out and touch her.

Su Li thought about it. She understood Ling Li’s meaning. She was a little shy and annoyed. She moved slightly to the distance. She was very aggrieved and was about to cry.

The man sitting in another table beside them saw this and immediately became angry. Ling Li didn’t succeed because of the inconvenience of his legs. If it was not so, he would be desperate to give the playboy a few slaps!

At the same time, several people sighed after seeing that.

Third Master Ling was so lecherous. It was pathetic for Princess Li to marry him!

Dongfang Yuyan and Dongfang Yang saw this scene, but they were thinking about something coincidentally.

“Father asked me to invite Ling Li and Su Li to the feast, mostly for testing. They were not really chummy. Although Su Li had always shown obedience to him, I could feel her grievance and dissatisfaction.”

Dongfang Yuyan sneered. What was Father worried about? He really thought that Ling Li and Su Li really loved each other, and that the Ling Family and Lord Rui’s Mansion would really cooperate for something?

The Ling Family had always been unfriendly to the Dongfang Family. Uncle Rui was worried about his daughter and had been dissatisfied with Ling Li for a long time. Now, the Ling Family and Lord Rui’s Mansion might have complained about each other because of their marriage.

Father was muddleheaded. He couldn’t understand such a situation and had better give the throne to her!

As for Fifth Brother…

Dongfang Yuyan turned her head and glanced at Dongfang Yang lightly. Dongfang Yang felt it and turned, smiling gently and brightly, “Fourth Sister, is there anything on my face?”

Dongfang Yuyan was stunned for a while, and then she said with a smile, “Nothing. You have become more and more handsome these years. I think you must have fascinated many young misses. I don’t know if there is a suitable person in your heart, and the position of the princess can’t be available all the time.”

“You’re right.”

Dongfang Yang nodded and said with a smile, “However, I think a man should give priority to his career and shouldn’t get married earlier.”

Dongfang Yuyan smiled stiffly. She thought Dongfang Yang had something to say.

But at this time, the music behind the rockery suddenly became uplifting, and the dancers heard it and stopped dancing, standing in the middle, panicked and confused.

Why did the musicians suddenly change their rhythm?

Dongfang Yuyan’s expression changed. She stood up and shouted, “Who dares to make trouble at my feast? Come out!”

Thump!

The music behind the rockery stopped immediately, and then a teenager appeared, looking pure and innocent. She was not afraid to face the stunned guests and clapped her chest lovingly.

“Humph! You are ordinary people. After listening to my music, you should kneel down and thank me!”

Dongfang Yuyan recovered and laughed immediately.

“Eighth Sister, don’t be mischievous!”

The beautiful girl who came suddenly was Eighth Princess mentioned by Dongfang Yang, Dongfang Huan’er.

“Fourth Sister!”

Dongfang Huan’er’s eyes were bright. She rushed into Dongfang Yuyan’s arms and groaned discontentedly, “You didn’t even bring me here for fun when you had such a lively feast. Huan’er was very angry!”

Dongfang Yuyan smiled fondly, “You come here uninvited. Do you sneak out of the palace?”

Dongfang Huan’er immediately covered her mouth and stopped talking. In a moment, all the discontent in people’s hearts disappeared. It was the famous naughty Eighth Princess. Now they saw her and thought Eighth Princess was very unsophisticated and lovely.

Su Li looked at Dongfang Huan’er, who was wantonly acting like a spoiled child in Dongfang Yuyan’s arms. She frowned slightly. She had never seen Dongfang Huan’er, but she felt very familiar with her. And her intuition was true from her naughty word…

“What’s the matter? Don’t be dazed. Dongfang Huan’er is talking to you.”

Ling Li suddenly said, and Su Li was shocked. After recovering, she saw Dongfang Huan’er pointing at her and saying to her, “Are you Su Li from Eighth Uncle’s family? I heard in the palace that you are the first talented woman in Yunjing City. You are proficient in lyre-playing, chess, calligraphy and painting, but you are only 16 years old. Even if you have started learning since you were born, you can’t be good at all, right? I don’t believe it!”

“Huan’er, don’t be rude. You should call her sister.”

Dongfang Yuyan frowned gently. How could this girl suddenly start to make trouble for Su Li? In fact, Dongfang Yuyan was quite kind to Su Li, even a little compassionate. Compared with her husband, Ling Li was obviously inferior.

Dongfang Huan’er snorted and called out, “Sister Su Li.”

Su Li smiled gently, and her sweet voice echoed in the garden, “Sister Huan’er is right. Although I have read books and learned skills for several years, I am not the first talented woman in Yunjing City.”

Then the people who were still intoxicated in the voice were immediately surprised. Someone comforted her instantly, “Princess Li, why do you say that? Compared with the elder teacher in the National Academy, your teaching in the Affiliated School of the National Academy is more brilliant and erudite. We have witnessed that by ourselves. You deserve the title of the first talented woman!”

“Yes, I heard that you were once the owner of the embroidery workshop in Qinghe Province. Your embroidery skills are superior. You are an outstanding 16-year-old embroiderer. There is no second person in the whole Dahan Country.”

“Besides, I also heard that Princess is proficient in cooking. The precious Beggars’ Chicken in Yunjing City was created by you!”

People said one by one. Many people who didn’t know Su Li were stunned. At the same time, they doubted whether the information was true or false. There were too many people seeking fame. Su Li was liked by men in Yunjing City by her beauty. Did she need to learn those skills?”

Dongfang Huan’er saw so many people support Su Li. She seemed to lost face. She became angry and said, “Everyone thinks that you are excellent, but I don’t believe it! Since you are proficient in lyre-playing, chess, calligraphy and painting, do you dare to compete with me in lyre-playing skills?”

When she said this, people immediately calmed down. Many people looked at Su Li and their eyes were full of expectation. If they could appreciate Su Li’s performance, this trip was not for nothing. They could boast in front of their friends later.

Before Su Li spoke, a rude voice suddenly echoed, disturbing the rhythm of Dongfang Huan’er.

“What do you want to do?! Little girl, you dare to let my wife compete with you. Her performance is only for me. How can she perform to ordinary people? You’re not qualified to listen?!”

Ling Li glared at her and yelled at her. Everyone was in panic. Ling Li was the most “ordinary” person in the feast.
