Dressed as a vicious stepmother, farming and raising cubs

It wasn't until Wen Shiche and others took the lead in applauding that the others reacted in shock and followed suit.

Su Liu landed gracefully amid the cheers of the crowd, put his sword behind his back, and bowed slightly to salute.

"As expected of General Wen's daughter, it's an eye-opener!"

During the banquet, some people couldn't help but exclaimed. This sword dance has become the best in everyone's minds.

Su Liu thanked them all in a low-key manner, and then sat back in his seat.

"Sister Liu! You're so handsome!" As soon as he sat down, Pei Xuening rushed towards her, her eyes turning into starry eyes, like a little fangirl.

But Su Liu just smiled faintly, which was actually not worth mentioning to her.

Then, she noticed that Pei Xuening seemed to be in the same outfit from beginning to end, and did not change into performance clothes, and she was suddenly curious.

"What about you, what are you going to perform?"

Hearing this, Pei Xuening suddenly showed a playful smile and winked at her mysteriously:

"Just watch it!"

Then, she cleared her throat and stood in the hall.

The moment she opened her mouth, Su Liu was shocked. He didn't expect that this girl, who usually sang like a bleater, would sing so clearly and beautifully, like an oriole's cry.

What she sang seemed to be a Jiangnan tune. The tune was melodious and long-lasting, but also had a touch of sadness. It had a sense of desolation, which was very inconsistent with Pei Xuening's childish and cute appearance.

Others also changed from being lively to listening quietly, as if they were afraid of disturbing the tranquility.

What followed were mostly instrumental performances, as well as calligraphy and embroidery displays, but no one could surpass the sword dance.

When the banquet was about to end, Pei Xuening suddenly waved to Su Liu and motioned for her to follow.

Although Su Liu didn't understand her intention, he followed the instructions. Unexpectedly, he pulled her up a rockery and lay down behind a rock to hide.

"Xiao Ning, what are you..." Su Liu felt very puzzled.

But Pei Xuening made a silent gesture toward her, looked outside, stretched out a finger, and pointed in a certain direction.

Su Liu followed her finger and looked over. It turned out to be Wen Ruoshui and her companions. He frowned immediately and didn't understand what she was going to do.

Pei Xuening raised a mischievous smile, picked up a slender branch from the ground, and gently hooked it from top to bottom. The whole movement was coherent and fast, and almost no one noticed.

The veil on Wen Ruoshui's face was suddenly lifted up by a force, and then fell lightly to the ground.

There was a burst of exclamation around them because they saw Wen Ruoshui's face.

The red sores on her face have not yet healed, and scabs have formed in some places. It looks a bit scarier than at the beginning.

Wen Ruoshui was so frightened that he screamed, hurriedly covered his face with his hands, and squatted on the ground.

"Ruoshui, are you okay?" Her companions around her reached out to help her, but they were pushed away by her.

Others also started whispering, and some even took several steps back, as if they were afraid that they would be infected.

"What's going on with Miss Wen? Could it be a plague?"

“It’s really…”

Amid everyone's discussion, Wen Ruoshui felt increasingly ashamed and finally collapsed completely.

While crying, she rushed out of the crowd and ran towards her residence. Seeing this situation, Pei Xuening's face became even more proud, smiling like a child who had succeeded in a prank, and raised his eyebrows at Su Liu:

"How about it, she didn't give face to her sister in public today, I'm going to make her look embarrassed too!"

Su Liu never thought that she was going to "revenge" herself by doing this, and she suddenly felt dumbfounded.

She didn't sympathize with Wen Ruoshui, but she didn't expect that Pei Xuening had so many clever ideas at such a young age.

"Okay, don't do this next time." She stretched out her hand and flicked her forehead lightly.

"Why!" Pei Xuening suddenly frowned, his cheeks bulging, and he was very unconvinced.

"You're still young, you can do this kind of thing when you grow up." Su Liu blurted out that wise saying.

After returning to his yard in the evening, Su Liu completely relaxed.

After this banquet, it was really tiring. Not only did she have to perform, but she also had to say hello to various elders and uncles. She was always in a tense state.

When she saw Shen Luochen's familiar and friendly face, she even had the urge to pounce on him.

"I have received a reply today. Nineteen has sent people to start taking action." Seeing her return, Shen Luochen took the initiative to show the envelope in his hand with a faint smile on his lips.

"Really? That's good."

Su Liu nodded and fell onto the bed.

"You seem very tired today?" Shen Luochen noticed her state and asked with concern.

"Don't mention it. This kind of situation is really troublesome. It's not easy for you gentlemen and ladies."

While Su Liu was thinking casually, he pulled out the red hairpin from his head and gently threw it aside. His hair fell down and he felt much more relaxed.

Seeing this, Shen Luochen couldn't help laughing and said softly:

"You are now the legitimate daughter of the General's Mansion. This will happen to you more often in the future, so get used to it as soon as possible."

Su Liu suddenly let out a wail and had the urge to move out of the general's mansion overnight.

After resting for a while, she finally recovered a little. She slowly sat up, put on a serious expression, and said:

"I have an idea. Wouldn't it be more convenient if we could allow Nineteen and others to come to the house to do things?"

During the day today, she had been thinking about this issue. It was always troublesome to exchange letters like this, and it was easy for someone to get physical evidence, which was extremely risky.

Just at the dinner party, she suddenly had an idea and thought of a solution.

Therefore, she kept holding these words in her heart and didn't speak until she saw Shen Luochen.

"What's your idea?" Shen Luochen suddenly became interested, strode to her side, and sat down as well.

The corners of Su Liu's lips curved up in an unpredictable arc, and she gently leaned against one of his ears and whispered:

"As long as you and I cooperate and put on a show."

Shen Luochen was still confused as to what she was saying. He didn't understand her intention at all, and the expression on his face became even more confused.

Naturally, Su Liu didn't show off to him and continued to explain very patiently:

"At the beginning, I didn't ask the General's Mansion to arrange guards for me, so there was no one to guard our yard. If... there were some problems, I could justifiably recommend people I knew to come in as personal guards. I believe, General And Mrs. Li will agree."
