Chapter 37 First Year Banquet

Now the people in the streets are talking about this fake general's wife, and many people recognize her face. Su Qinghuan probably won't be able to go out on the streets for a long time.

[As expected of my mother, she made that woman be honest with just one move. 】

"Mom, why do we still need to help her pay back the money?"

Although the matter was settled smoothly, Lu Zhiyan still lost a sum of money as expected, with a grimace on his face.

【My poor second brother...】

Hearing Lu Zhiyan's aggrieved voice, Lu Youyou couldn't help but sympathize with him.

[Compared to other foreign debts she may owe you, this time is not bad. It is better than you having to continue to pay the bills in the future. 】

"I will never cause any further trouble, lest you have to pay for her in the future."

Lin Yuyan was obviously a little disgusted when she saw Lu Zhiyan with such an aggrieved expression despite being so tall.

"By the way, how are you preparing the things I asked you to prepare before? The first birthday party is coming soon."

"Everything is ready, just waiting for dad to finalize the guest list."

Because the fabrics were cut off by Su Qinghuan last time, Lu Zhiyan bought some fresh fabrics and prepared Lu Youyou's birthday party early, without any hesitation.

This was the first time Lu Youyou felt that she was so valued, and she felt a little flattered for a while.

Seeing that he was turning one year old, Lu Youyou couldn't help but sigh a little.

According to the plot of the original book, his whereabouts had long been unknown at this time, and the General's Mansion was slowly falling into defeat. They, as a family, would also play supporting roles and gradually step off the stage of history.

But now I don't know if it's because of her appearance here, but all this seems to have changed somehow. Lu Youyou also looks forward to her being able to speak as soon as possible, so that she can avoid more disasters for her family.

Finally, on the day of Lu Youyou's first birthday party, everyone in the general's mansion was happy.

Lin Yuyan also knew that since she gave birth to her daughter, she has been like a lucky star and has changed many things. She also likes her daughter more and more, as does everyone else in the General's Mansion.

"elder brother!"

Although he couldn't speak clearly, Lu Shengqing was still very surprised. After the imperial examination, the emperor paid special attention to him, so he had been very busy during this period, so busy that he didn't even know that his sister could call him brother.

"When did my sister start talking?"

The expression on Lu Shengqing's face was both surprised and happy, which actually made Lu Wushuang next to him a little disdainful.

"Brother really doesn't pay attention to my sister, and he didn't know until now."

"You are no better than eldest brother. The first time my sister called me brother, she called me."

No wonder Lu Zhiyan was so arrogant. He had just gone out that day when Lu Youyou called his brother, but he didn't hear it right away. His mother told him later.

"Come and say hello to all your uncles and uncles."

A sudden voice sounded behind everyone, and Lin Yuyan couldn't help but frown.

On an occasion like today, they had not planned to invite Su Qinghuan, for fear that this woman would cause something else to happen at the banquet, but before the banquet, she came with her daughter in her arms. At that time, the seventh prince had already arrived at the general's mansion. In front of all the ministers and princes, they couldn't drive her away, so they could only make the mistake and let her stay.

However, Su Qinghuan couldn't find his place correctly, so he walked around with Lu Xuanhe in his arms, and when he saw dignitaries, he came up to say hello.

[This time I was smarter and didn’t dare to claim to be the side wife of the General’s Mansion in front of everyone. 】

Lu Youyou felt a little unlucky looking at it, but after all, this was her first birthday party, and the whole family had been preparing for it for so long, and no one wanted to disturb their mood just because of this woman.

"Sister, is this my little nephew?"

Su Qinghuan stepped forward with a smile on her face, as if she was not the one who was embarrassed on the street earlier.

"It's not the first time I've seen you, why do you look so surprised?"

Lin Yuyan didn't have a very good attitude towards her, but she was just decent on the surface, so it was hard to be loud to her.

In comparison, Lu Wushuang directly expressed his unhappiness on his face.

"You have been in and out of the general's mansion so many times all day long just to see your daughter. Don't tell me that you didn't know it was my sister's first birthday party today."

Lu Wushuang just couldn't stand the innocent look of the woman in front of him. From the first time he saw her, he knew that this woman was not an economical person.

"Young Master Third, what you said is wrong. I come to see my daughter at this time every day. Besides, today is Youyou's first birthday party. After all, I am also the adopted sister recognized by my sister, so I always come to send my blessings."

[It's best to give it a blessing. Don't think that I don't know that you want to take this opportunity to find a way out for your daughter. 】

The flattering smile on Su Qinghuan's face could not be concealed at all. She was very familiar with the way she walked among the dignitaries.

"How many words can you read now? Xuanhe is very stupid. After being friends for so long, he can only recite an ancient poem."

[No, Lu Xuanhe is a few months younger than me. Children at this time are unconscious of anything they say. How can they learn to read? 】

Although she was just a college student before, it doesn't mean that Lu Youyou has no common sense at all. Even if she has the aura of a heroine, she won't be able to read and write before she is one year old, right?
  Seeing that few people around her were silent, Su Qinghuan became even more proud. She was in and out of the General's Mansion all day long, and even if she listened to what the maids were chatting about, she could still guess the right answer.

Although this deer Youyou is loved by the whole family in the General's Mansion, he is already one year old and cannot speak a complete word yet.

In comparison, Lu Xuanhe is much smarter in this regard.

Lin Yuyan might not admit it otherwise, but on this point, she did admit that Lu Xuanhe was smarter than the average child, and could even point to picture books and say something.

But Su Qinghuan didn't know that even if Lu Youyou didn't speak, he was already much better than Lu Xuanhe, and he couldn't compare with a child at all.

"Smart is smart, but if you hold the same picture book every day and ask your daughter to read along on the same page, no matter who the child is, she should be able to read it, right?"

Lin Yuyan's short sentence exposed Su Qinghuan's pretense of vanity. She came here every day just to make her children sensible earlier.

Even the grandma who takes care of Lu Xuanhe can't stand such a young child.

However, after all, this was not their own family's business, and Lin Yuyan didn't bother to care.
