Half a step behind Mr. Su San, he followed him into the main hall where the old lady was entertaining guests. As soon as Su Ningxin appeared, everyone's eyes were focused on her.
The old lady stood up even more excitedly, and the nanny beside her immediately supported her from the side. Su Ningxin also had the foresight to see it. She stepped forward a few steps faster but without losing her manners, and allowed the old lady to hold her hand.
The old lady called her "darling" before sitting back on the couch and letting Su Ningxin sit next to her.
"Mom, everyone praises the fourth girl in our family as the most outstanding one. Now that the eldest girl is back, she may be inferior to these younger sisters."
An aunt at the back looked at Su Ningxin's appearance and praised her, her intention to please was obvious.
The smile on Su Ningxin's face did not change. She could be accused of being a concubine to the prince. She was from a poorer family background, but she must have some good looks. However, it was a bit intriguing to be mentioned at this time.
He looked at the person who had just spoken. He was wearing a woman's hair. He was about twenty years old and had the best appearance in the concubine's room.
She probably stayed with Mr. Su San just because of her looks, Su Ning thought to herself.
It's no wonder that Su Ningxin thinks this way. At this time, she doesn't care about whether she, a girl who has been away from home for more than ten years, is living well outside. Instead, she praises her appearance.
By the way, she also caused a wave of hatred from all the girls, mainly in front of the old lady and the third lady. Su Ningxin gave her full marks for this operation.
Probably because she was really stupid, Su Ningxin looked away calmly and inadvertently glanced at everyone in the room.
Regardless of whether it was true or not, the faces of everyone in the room were full of joy, and the expression on the third lady's face was a bit unnatural. This was Su Ningxin's biological mother. After all, she must be a little uncomfortable knowing the truth.
The old lady ignored the aunt and didn't even look at her.
The old lady had many legitimate sons and daughters-in-law, and many serious daughters-in-law. She didn't care about an aunt, and just focused on Su Ningxin, the lost and found granddaughter.
"You must have suffered in the nunnery. Why are you so thin?" the old lady said distressedly.
"Everything is fine in the nunnery, and there are maids and women taking care of me. How can I endure hardships? Grandma, don't worry."
"After all, people in the nunnery eat vegetarian food. How can we take good care of people? We must take good care of them when we return home."
"It's all according to grandma." Su Ningxin responded particularly obediently.
Only then did the old lady remember to introduce the people in the room to her. Although there were many people, Mr. Su San had told her before that as long as she matched up, it would not be difficult to recognize them.
Su Ningxin gave the gifts she had prepared in advance to her younger siblings. Her younger sister gave her jewelry, and her younger brother gave her rice paper, pens, and ink.
They are not expensive things. Naturally, she would not take out the things brought out from the palace like this. She just asked the maid to prepare them casually on the way.
Su Ningxin, who grew up in a nunnery, shouldn't have anything valuable, so Su Ningxin wouldn't go wrong with these small details.
After greeting each other, the old lady patted Su Ningxin's hand and told her,
"We are all a family. If we get along well in the future, we will naturally become closer."
"Yes, Ning'er will definitely get along well with her siblings."
"My Ning'er must be tired from the long journey. Your mother has already arranged the yard for you. Go and have a rest first, and then have a family reunion dinner in the evening."
"Yes." Su Ningxin said softly, looking like a boudoir lady.
Pretending to be cute or domineering are Su Ningxin's special skills, and she doesn't panic at all when using them.
The maid led her to the Tinghua Xiaozhu prepared for her by the third lady. From a distance, she could see her maid Shuanghua greeting her at the door.
Just after entering the house, her maid and grandma went to the yard to place her things. She didn't bring many things, and the yard was tidied up in advance. It seems that it is tidied up now.
