To this kind of talk, Young Mrs. Su scoffed.
When she was in her boudoir, she might have seen such stories in the tales, but in this world, how could there be any Immortals.
Yet looking at the person in front of her, young and beautiful, standing together with her parents-in-law, no one would find it strange if they were told they were father-daughter or mother-daughter.
She couldn’t figure out how such an obvious scam could go unnoticed by everyone present.
Even her husband was like this, all his usual cleverness seed to have disappeared.
In front of Su Li, Young Mrs. Su was like a blank sheet of paper, her inner wariness and displeasure, though well-concealed, were still apparent to Su Li.
However, her feelings were not within the scope of Su Li’s concerns, so she rely glanced at her before dismissing her from her mind.
Now, what troubled her most was how these two old folks, at such an age, still had so much energy.
They had been lanting in front of her for nearly half an hour.
Suddenly, Old Master Su slapped his forehead, about to speak but hesitated, looking at Su Li with a teeth-gritting expression, afraid of catching her attention.
Yet Old Master Su couldn’t help it and cautiously inquired, "Ah Lee, you’re back, but Ah Xuan... didn’t he co with you?"
Old Madam gave a light clap on Old Master’s back, hurrying to say, "Ah Xuan has beco an Immortal, don’t restrict him with mundane customs."
Won are more attentive than n, once she saw only her Ah Lee, her heart sank, murmuring to herself.
Fearing that her earlier worries might have co true.
Ah Lee, a mortal woman, with Ah Xuan having already attained the Immortal countenance, though she was fortunate he did not abandon her, their ordinary rchant status could no longer be her support; in the future, she could only rely on the man’s pity to get by, the hardship therein was imaginable.
If the two were well, they would both appear here today, not just her Ah Lee alone.
Even though her heart was aching, the Old Madam restrained herself, showing no emotion, afraid to sadden Ah Lee.
Old Master didn’t have such patience; before Su Li could respond, he slamd his hand on the redwood table.
"Rascal, he must have forgotten the promises he made to back then..."
Su Bingchao followed suit with righteous indignation, "Su Xuan seed good, who would’ve thought... Ah Lee, don’t be afraid. Now that you’re back, stay at ho, don’t leave..."
Hearing her father-in-law say this, Young Mrs. Su’s complexion turned grim.
Their daughter by blood returned to the Su Family, with the old folks doting on her, wouldn’t it throw the residence into chaos?
The future of this Su Residence is still uncertain.
Moreover, this person in front might just be a fake, coming for the family’s imnse wealth.
Young Mrs. Su pinched Su Qing’s back again.
"Hey, why are you pinching ..."
Mrs. Su frowned and glanced at the small gestures between this young couple, feeling a twitch in her heart.
The daughter-in-law, who seed quite good before, now appeared... she might have misjudged, too petty-minded.
Thinking again, even though she ca from a well-known noble family, who didn’t know her maiden family was hollow, internally decaying, and poorly-raised children were likely.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have agreed to marry into such a rchant family.
Back then, she was dazzled by their external splendor and didn’t think deeper into it.
Su Li couldn’t be bothered with the petty actions of the juniors below. The family she cared about was, besides her parents, her foster brother and sister-in-law, Su Qing being the exception to so degree.
After all, when she left, her little nephew hadn’t been born, so there wasn’t much attachnt.
Instead, Su Qing appeared to have much admiration for her, looking at her puppy-eyed.
His nature was like his father’s, simple and honest, while his wife was sowhat lacking.
With this eting, Su Li stayed at the Su Residence; the best courtyard belonging to her original form was kept exactly the sa.
The flowers and plants inside were well-tended, spotless, clearly maintained daily with care.
Su Li didn’t offer any explanation for her return, and the others, seemingly misunderstanding, also avoided ntioning it carefully.
It seed like everything was as if she had never left, remaining the sa as when she was living as their daughter at ho.
Fearing that young Mrs. Su, in charge of household affairs, might neglect her sister-in-law and friend, especially after noticing the daughter-in-law’s subtle sches, Mrs. Su reclaid part of the rights given to her daughter-in-law.
Anything regarding Su Li’s daily life was personally attended and arranged by her.
The Su Residence quickly ford an odd picture centered around Su Li, once again reshaping Young Mrs. Su’s understanding.
She fud with injustice but felt helpless.
She could only tell her mother-in-law sulkily, wanting to return to her maiden ho for a few days.
Mrs. Su, eyes on the accounts, upon hearing the daughter-in-law’s petulant words, didn’t even twitch an eyelid, agreeing readily, making Young Mrs. Su feel even worse.
Su Li just stayed in her courtyard, not coming out, as she was always ditating.
Although her cultivation was now higher than Su Xuan’s, with Mid Mahayana being top-tier in the Cultivation World, not to ntion in the mortal world.
Such is the supre existence capable of obliterating the land with a re thought if she wished.
Here, she’s like a god.
Yet she dared not slack, as there are always heavens beyond heavens, people beyond people.
Day by day passed, apart from the night Su Li returned, which enlivened the Su Residence, life resud its usual peace, unchanged, except for one more person in the household.
But only Young Mrs. Su knew that everything was different.
Firstly, all the best things in the residence were promptly sent to Cedar Court.
The account books and keys Mrs. Su had taken back; even if she wanted to extend so help to her maiden ho, she no longer had the ans.
Her maiden family, both overtly and covertly, had been sending people to say sothing several tis.
Until this ti, soone was sent to bring her back for a visit, hoping her mother-in-law would refuse, but as things turned out.....
Young Mrs. Su’s departure from the residence was unknown to Su Li; these were minor matters, not worth ntioning.
She hadn’t even shown up when the niece rumored to bear her resemblance returned ho, how could she care about an outsider daughter-in-law.
However, when Young Mrs. Su had been at her maiden ho for twenty days without returning, only then did Su Li turn her attention to the matter.
Nephew Su Qing seed quite agitated, striding in from outside.
Mrs. Su imdiately asked, "Didn’t your wife return with you?"
Su Qing took a big gulp of water, sowhat puzzled yet indignant, he said, "She said the old lady at her maiden ho is unwell, as her granddaughter, she has to attend to her by the sickbed, so apparently she’ll be back later."
