    Chapter Table of Contents General’s Mansion

    By the time Mrs. Su and Su Tao arrived at the General’s Mansion, there was already a lot of traffic at the front entrance, blocking a street outside.

    Mrs. Su was afraid that she would not have enough time, so she had to ask a few servants to carry down the birthday gifts and let the coachman stop the carriage. She took Su Tao and several servants to the main entrance.

    But after taking a few steps, Mrs. Su realized that she had made a big mistake.She was originally afraid that being late would be disrespectful to Mrs. Mu. She didn’t want everyone to have expected this, so she sat upright in the carriage and was not in a hurry until the carriage stopped at the front door. She handed over the invitation and the gift list, and entered the house leisurely after the guard loudly announced.

    Now she asked servants to carry the birthday gift, but walking on the road in person seemed nondescript and weird. She hurriedly asked someone to stop the carriage, and the birthday gift bearer followed closely behind. Unfortunately, it was too late for anyone to see it.

    “Pfft, where did this country squire come from? He actually gives gifts to people without asking, but he doesn’t even know how to give them. It’s really ridiculous.”

    Mrs. Su’s eyes turned red when she heard the sound. When she heard the sound, she saw that it was not Mrs. Fan’s family who was sitting in the carriage. She stopped walking and replied with a half-smile, “What are Mrs. Fan’s words? The general’s office personally sent the message, specifically asking to bring a little lesbian to congratulate her. How could she come uninvited?”

    Mrs. Fan naturally knew what this meant, and her smile suddenly became stiff. Her eyes couldn’t help but turn to Su Tao, who was quietly at the side. She stared at that delicate and delicate face, which became more and more unpleasant to her eyes.Humph, it doesn’t matter that he is the son of a general. Her son-in-law is the legitimate son of Duke Rong’s mansion. How can he be compared to these grassroots who came to power?

    Fanzhen also looked through the curtains and couldn’t help covering her mouth and laughing, “Su Tao, why are you walking here to congratulate Mrs. Mu? Although the previous dynasty ordered merchants not to ride carriages in the city, the old order has been abolished. Could it be that you have been doing business for generations and are already used to it?”

    Su Tao glanced at Fan Zhen quickly, lowered her head, and moved her body behind Mrs. Su’s back.

    Mrs. Su didn’t look too good, and she was afraid of being seen by more people, so she said, “It seems that the team’s turn is about to come, so I won’t disturb Mrs. Fan.”

    Seeing Su Tao’s appearance as a young man, Mrs. Fan smiled lightly and lowered the curtain.What’s the use of having a foxy face? It can’t compare to the dignity and elegance of her family’s Zhen’er.

    Su Tao quickly followed Mrs. Su back to the carriage. Just as she was about to get up, she saw a carriage arriving in a hurry. It passed directly through the long motorcade and arrived at the main entrance of the General’s Mansion.

    Mrs. Su also saw it and said excitedly, “General Mighty is indeed highly appreciated by the Emperor. Even the princes in the palace came to congratulate him. This is really a God-given honor.”

    When Su Tao got into the car, Mrs. Su was still mumbling, “If you marry into the general’s palace, wouldn’t you have the opportunity to meet the emperor’s grandson in person in the future? Humph, I don’t believe that anyone would dare to laugh at me at that time.”

    “It’s a pity. I can only think about it. Hey, my miserable daughter is fine everywhere, but her life is too miserable.”

    Su Tao kept silent. She had heard words like “she” many times since she was a child. When she was younger, she always thought that she had done something wrong, and was especially afraid of being punished by her mother. But when she grew up, she realized that it wasn’t something wrong with her, but that she felt even more uncomfortable in her heart. It was so heavy that it made people breathless.

    There were too many people coming to congratulate her. Su Tao followed Mrs. Su and was invited to a side hall, where several ladies were already waiting. Their eyes widened when they saw the visitors, but after a while they all looked away and continued the previous topic, with the same attitude as before.

    Except for the servants in the house who came up to bring tea and water, everyone else seemed to regard her mother and daughter as transparent people.Mrs. Su suffered a lot before, and now she understands that she cannot take the initiative to say hello, otherwise she will just stand there, neither walking nor standing.

    Only the second wife of Mu Mansion, who was entertaining guests here, came forward and said, “Mrs. Su is here too. The new rouge gouache from your Chenxiang Pavilion is really good, but it’s a bit hard to buy. I asked my servants to line up to buy it several times and still couldn’t get it.”

    Mrs. Su was a little proud. The rouge and gouache at her house was probably only as good as the ones in the palace. “If the Second Madam likes it, the newly made batch will be delivered to Madam’s doorstep.”

    The second lady smiled and said, “Then I’ll trouble Madam Su.”

    As he spoke, he glanced at Su Tao from beginning to end, then turned around and continued to entertain the others.

    The smile on Mrs. Su’s lips had not returned yet. She picked up the tea and took a sip before returning to normal.

    After waiting for a long time, someone came to inform Mrs. Mu to see her. At least the ladies did not show any constancy on their faces. Everyone knew that the third prince had just arrived, and he must have gone to sit in the room first.

    After the personal maid arranged their clothes, they all walked away together, while the second lady stayed in the palace to wait for the next group of guests to arrive.

    The first ones to walk were Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Fan. The two families had just gotten engaged, and they were extremely affectionate along the way.

    Su Tao followed her mother and was at the end of the queue, and those who met the old lady were also at the end. The old lady recognized several girls and happily pulled them forward to talk. Especially Fan Zhen, Yan Ning, and Xu Qingqing were all rewarded with ice jade bracelets, which made many people envious.Of course, the other daughters, including Su Tao, also got some hairpins, which were very delicately made, but you could tell which ones were good and which were bad at a glance.

    When everyone had received their rewards and was supposed to retire, the old lady suddenly said to Su Tao, “Whose girl is this? She is so beautiful. This is the first time my old lady has seen such a beautiful girl in her long life.”

    As soon as he finished speaking, the whole room fell silent, and for a moment all eyes in the room moved to Su Tao.

    Su Tao was a little nervous and didn’t speak for a while.

    Mrs. Mu looked at Su Tao coldly, and then looked away casually.

    Mrs. Mu frowned when she saw this. Just as she was about to say something, a maid came in at the door. “Old madam, the second young master said at the door that he would come to wish you a birthday.”

    The old lady laughed and scolded, “This bastard just came here before, but he came to visit me again half a day ago. Forget it, let him come in. If your children and grandchildren are filial, I can still stop him.”

    Everyone in the room knew what was going on, but the old lady was so obviously partial and protective, so everyone could only laugh and cater to her, and admire the good relationship between the old lady and the second young master.

    Seeing that everyone no longer focused on her, Su Tao finally breathed a sigh of relief, hid in the crowd, and secretly looked at the man who came in.

    I saw a tall and thin man striding in wearing riding boots, and went directly to the old lady to salute and congratulate her, his movements were very smooth.

    Su Tao couldn’t help but look up. All the young men in the capital had tender skin and tender flesh. Some of them paid more attention to them than the women. This was the first time she had seen someone with such dark skin.I didn’t want to see a pair of dazzling black eyes as soon as I raised my head. I was so frightened that I quickly lowered my head and didn’t dare to look again.
