Chapter 215 The Real Birth Date
Sheng Yunzhu behaved very generously and sensibly, so even Madam Lan couldn't say anything more.
Since she stopped interfering in Sheng Yunzhu's affairs, she had no other demands on Sheng Yunzhu, as long as she didn't interfere with Yangyang.
As for other matters, whoever wants to take care of them will, and she has no intention of interfering.
Madam Sheng also praised, "Zhuzhu is so sensible. Your aunt will come over to give you a gift."
Zheng Hui was quite dissatisfied, and pulled Sheng Yunzhu aside to whisper, "Why do you always give in to her? How can the coming-of-age ceremony be changed? Why should she be on the same day as you?"
Sheng Yunzhu was secretly annoyed by Zheng Hui's brainlessness, but on the surface she just put on a wronged look and didn't say anything.
Lu Yangyang scoffed lightly, then suddenly raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is two days in advance enough? If I remember correctly, your coming-of-age ceremony is in a few days, isn't it? You agree, right, Third Miss Sheng?"
Sheng Yunzhu's expression suddenly changed.
Her actual birthday was before the Lunar New Year, not at the end of February of the following year. In fact, she was more than two months older than Lu Yangyang.
However, she did not celebrate her birthday when she was young. After taking Lu Yangyang's identity, every year she celebrated her birthday, it was Lu Yangyang's birthday, not her own. As a result, she had long forgotten when her real birthday was.
"Lu Yangyang, what are you doing? You..." Zheng Hui couldn't stand it. Even though she knew what her mother was thinking, she was still dissatisfied. Especially when she saw her third cousin, who used to be a proud daughter of heaven, having to give way to Lu Yangyang in every way, she was even more dissatisfied. She immediately forgot her mother's instructions and stood up to stand up for Sheng Yunzhu.
"Hui'er! Sit down! What kind of behavior is this!" Madam Sheng immediately shouted, then stood up with a smile. "Yangyang, your cousin is being silly. Your aunt still needs to visit your grandmother, so I'll take your cousin there first."
Then, turning to Lan Shi to say goodbye, he said, "Sister-in-law, I'll take Hui'er and leave first."
Lan was not happy about Zheng Hui's two rude remarks to Lu Yangyang, and responded with a faint "Mm".
Sheng immediately pulled Zheng Hui out.
Seeing that Madam Sheng had left, Sheng Yunzhu did not dare to linger. She stood up, curtsied, and said, "I have troubled Mother and Sister. I dare not ask for anything, I only ask for a place to stay for the time being. Thank you for your kindness, Mother. I will take my leave."
Madam Lan frowned slightly, but said nothing more and told her to leave.
Sheng Yunzhu stood up, and the moment she turned around, her face darkened.
Zheng Hui is a good-for-nothing who only brings trouble!
Madam Sheng pulled Zheng Hui out of the courtyard. Zheng Hui angrily muttered to Madam Sheng, "Mother, why are you pulling me? What's wrong with all of you? Why do you always have to give in to that Lu Yangyang? Isn't she just a distant relative of my aunt's family? Is it really necessary for you to be like this? Even Grandmother doesn't like her, what's the use of you liking her? There are so many noble ladies in the capital, why do you insist on letting her marry my brother? My brother just passed the imperial examination last year, and Grandmother even said she would carefully choose someone for him. Of all the people you like, why did you have to choose Lu Yangyang? And you expect me to give in to her too? Why? Who does she think she is! An ugly hag, with no status and no looks, aren't you ashamed of yourself!"
As her words became increasingly absurd, Madam Sheng raised her hand and slapped her on the back: "Shut up! When did it become your place to interfere in your brother's marriage? Control your temper. You'll be of marriageable age next year, and it'll be time for you to get married. Stop harping on these irrelevant things all day long. I'll say it one last time: keep your mouth shut. Whether you like her or not is irrelevant, but she has to marry your brother. Don't let me hear your nonsense causing me any more trouble!"
Although Zheng Hui was used to being willful, she was frightened by her mother's stern expression and reluctantly pursed her lips, remaining silent.
Not far behind them, Sheng Yunzhu emerged from behind a tree. Watching the two figures walk further and further away, she couldn't help but frown. What was going on? Why did her aunt, such a shrewd person, insist on marrying her cousin to Lu Yangyang? Could it be that just because Lu Yangyang was the biological daughter of the Duke of Sheng's family, she didn't even care about Lu Yangyang's appearance?
In the past year or so, Lu Yangyang has obviously grown up, becoming taller and her skin is much fairer. However, she has always worn a mask because the injury on her face can never heal. Under these circumstances, why does her aunt insist on Lu Yangyang?
……
After everyone else had left, Madam Lan finally cheered up. She quickly told Granny Hui to set the table, got up and pulled Lu Yangyang to sit down. She personally served her soup and looked at her carefully, saying, "Yangyang, you don't need to worry about what they do about your coming-of-age ceremony. In my eyes, it's your birthday, and I will make sure you have a good birthday celebration. Other things are none of my concern."
“My elder brother wrote to my aunt, asking her to arrange things for me. My aunt told me about it during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but I didn’t want to trouble her, so I didn’t agree.” Lu Yangyang didn’t care much about this. She had done it this way in previous years, so whether she celebrated this birthday or not wouldn’t make a difference.
Judging from today's situation, Sheng Yunzhu probably has some plans. This is a golden opportunity, and she wants to see what Sheng Yunzhu is up to.
In fact, she had been busy studying at the academy and learning medicine from her master for more than a year, and hadn't paid attention to Sheng Yunzhu for a while. It seems that before she could restrain herself, Sheng Yunzhu couldn't restrain herself first.
Lu Yangyang thought for a moment and then changed her mind: "If Madam is willing to go through the trouble, then I will trouble Madam."
Just as Madam Lan was feeling down about not being able to personally arrange Lu Yangyang's coming-of-age ceremony, she suddenly perked up upon hearing Lu Yangyang's words. She nodded eagerly, "Okay, okay, no trouble at all! I've been waiting for this day. This is a big day for a young lady, and I will definitely make it a grand affair for you, so that everyone in the capital will know that you..."
“Madam, I’m doing very well, thank you.” Lu Yangyang interrupted her in time.
Lan Shi then realized what she had almost blurted out. She wanted to say that she wanted the whole capital to know that Lu Yangyang was her daughter.
Initially, it was they who didn't recognize Lu Yangyang. They disregarded her feelings for the sake of their enemy's child, trying to have twins, and even misunderstanding her time and time again, until she completely didn't want this family anymore, nor did she want these family members.
Ms. Lan's eyes reddened slightly, her heart aching.
Lu Yangyang understood Lan Shi's gaze, but didn't know how to comfort her. The rift between her and the Duke of Sheng's mansion was already irreparable, and even after she figured it out, she didn't necessarily have to live in the Duke of Sheng's mansion.
But I'll occasionally come to visit the Lan family.
