"Letter?" Su Liu quickly captured the key information, "Can you elaborate on it?"

"It's just some letters without clearly indicating their origins. Miss always reads them secretly in her room. We don't know who sent them."

Qingbi said while recalling all the details of the past.

"Then where did she put these letters?" Su Liu suddenly became excited and asked impatiently.

After Qingbi heard this question, she shook her head in confusion.

"Miss, she never let us touch those letters, let alone where she put them."

Hearing this, although Su Liu was a little disappointed, he was not surprised.

Through getting along with each other in the past few days, she could see that Wen Ruoshui was a cautious person and would not be easily caught.

But judging from the importance she attached to these letters, they were probably written by those seeking official positions. She and those people should have negotiated the price through letters before conducting further transactions.

After Su Liu came to the conclusion, he smiled and waved his hand:

"Thank you, Qingbi, you go and do your work first."

Qingbi came in confusion and left in confusion. From the beginning to the end, she didn't understand what she was going to do.

Su Liu secretly made up his mind to follow this clue and uncover Wen Ruoshui's true face.

During dinner, Mrs. Li suddenly announced a shocking news.

"There will be a dinner party held in the house in the next few days, and many guests will come. You brothers and sisters, please remember to prepare."

Su Liu was startled, and the food she just swallowed almost got stuck in her throat, so she quickly patted her chest to smooth it down.

Unexpectedly, she had just talked about similar things with Shen Luochen during the day, and then heard the news about a dinner party in the evening.

"Is there any festival coming soon? In previous years, at this time in the house, there seems to be no habit of holding banquets."

There was some reluctance in Wen Ruoshui's tone. Her face was not healed yet and she still needed to wear a veil. Naturally, she was unwilling to participate in these social activities.

"Indeed, there were none in previous years." Mrs. Li nodded first, then suddenly looked at Su Liu with a gentle and watery gaze, and said with a smile, "Liu'er has returned to our home now. Of course, everyone should get to know her."

Hearing this, Wen Ruoshui's face turned even worse, as ugly as if he had eaten a fly.

It turned out that this dinner was specially held for Su Liu, probably to introduce her biological daughter to her colleagues with whom she had good friendships.

Su Liu was a little flattered, shook his head, and said sensibly:

"Mother, you don't have to worry so much about me."

After listening to her words, Mrs. Li just smiled faintly and looked at her with eyes full of love.

"Silly boy, this is also to help you integrate into our general's mansion as soon as possible. All of my parents' friends want to see you."

Su Liu naturally understood her intentions. It was only a matter of time before her biological daughter came back and integrated into their social circle. What she just said was just to be polite.

So, she pretended to be well-behaved and said with a smile:

"In that case, it's all up to Mother."

It's just right that you can test Shen Luochen's words and see what the way of making friends in this upper class society is like.

The dinner was scheduled for three days later. Early that morning, Su Liu was pulled by Qingbi to the dressing table to dress up.

For such an important occasion, Wen Ruoshui would prepare early, dress up in an extremely gorgeous and high-profile manner, and pay attention to her makeup, which would often take a long time.

"Qingbi, you can just comb your hair casually, it doesn't have to be so grand."

Su Liu looked in the mirror and saw her busying with her hair, braiding it and tying it into a bun. She couldn't help but have black lines all over her face. “Second Miss, there are many ladies from aristocratic families coming to the dinner party, so you have to dress up properly.”

Qingbi persuaded softly, but the movements of her hands still did not stop.

"No need, it's not a beauty pageant." Su Liu raised his eyebrows calmly and said with a smile, "As simple as it is, just be more dignified."

With her insistence, Qingbi finally did not use those fancy decorations on her, and simply put on light makeup on her face.

As for clothes, Su Liu chose a skirt with an elegant color but expensive fabric. After all, she was the legitimate daughter of the general's palace, so she couldn't lose face to the palace.

Looking at the bright and elegant woman in the mirror, she nodded with satisfaction.

"Very good. For this kind of occasion, simplicity and grandeur are the best."

Qingbi nodded as if she understood. She didn't expect that her two masters' preferences and aesthetics were so different.

Before the dinner party even started, many guests came one after another.

Su Liu stood next to Mrs. Li and greeted the guests one by one. Most of them were children of aristocratic families who had some friendship with the General's Mansion.

Wen Ruoshui was standing on the other side. She was wearing a gorgeous pink dress today, which was very eye-catching. Unfortunately, she still wore the veil on her face.

After finally waiting for the guests to arrive and take their seats, Mrs. Li and Su Liu appeared in front of everyone.

"I would like to introduce to you again, this is my biological daughter who has been separated for many years, and now I have finally found her."

She introduced it with a smile, her expression full of pride and elation.

Su Liu felt a little embarrassed. Ever since he was a child, he had never been taken seriously.

"It's so touching that they can be reunited after being separated for so many years."

"If you look carefully, the second lady's eyebrows are very similar to the madam's."

……

The people below began to compliment each other. After all, this is the home court of the General's Mansion, and most of them still have to rely on General Wen and his wife.

After introducing everyone, the dinner officially began.

Su Liu was taken to his seat. Most of the table was occupied by young women, including Wen Ruoshui.

She glanced around lightly and saw a familiar figure.

It was Pei Xuening. She was wearing bright yellow clothes and looked extremely petite and cute. The moment she looked at her, she lowered her head in panic.

Su Liu withdrew his gaze, thinking that this was quite reasonable. After all, he had long heard that the Pei family and the Wen family were family friends, so it was not surprising that Pei Xuening appeared here.

As soon as she sat down, she heard Wen Ruoshui seeming to be whispering to the female companions around him, and from time to time he would cast disdainful glances at her.

"Is this your sister who grew up in the country? No wonder she is so ordinary."

The tone of several people was very unkind. They didn't seem to intend to hide it from her, but they raised their voices a bit, obviously deliberately telling her to hear.

"That's right. So what if it's your biological child? It's not like you have no education at all."

"Haha, there will be times when she will be embarrassed..."
