Chapter 10 sisters' Thoughts

At this moment, the sky had already darkened. According to the rules, all the young masters of the Prime Minister's Mansion had to eat together. Gu He was the last one to arrive, and as she looked at these long-lost relatives, she felt a wave of emotion.

"Elder sister, why did you come so late? Yue is starving." Su Wanyue spoke in an innocent and naive tone, her pure and lovely face gazing at Gu He with watery eyes.

"So it's little sister Wanyue. You're my sister, aren't you? I'm sorry for being late and making you hungry. You should eat more later." Su Wanyue, the daughter of Lady Xia, was only five years old.

Who would have thought that at her age, her little sister would be filled with all sorts of calculations, always thinking about how to gain benefits from her elder sister and then discard her.

In her previous life, if she hadn't trusted her little sister too much, how could she have fallen for her scheme and had her child drowned by Su Manjing?

Gu He looked at her little sister, whom she had loved and protected so much in her previous life, and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes. With just a few words, her sister had placed herself in a position that disregarded the head of the family.

In her previous life, she had just woken up and felt dizzy, and it was at this time that Su Wanyue had asked her the same question. Because of her, she had lost her composure and obediently admitted her mistake to Su Hu.

As the current Prime Minister, how could Su Hu be willing to see his daughter in such a 'unworthy' state? Naturally, he was furious and punished her, preventing her from going out to pay respects to her mother on her memorial day, and she was labeled as an unfilial daughter.

"Little sister, you should eat more and not let people think that our father is mistreating you and making you hungry." How could she possibly offend Su Hu's sore spot again in this lifetime? Gu He smiled at Su Wanyue.

Upon hearing this, Su Wanyue pouted discontentedly, glaring at Gu He. She may be young, but she could still sense the implications in her words, that she was being uncultured and forgetting her place like a beggar when she saw food.

Seeing the situation, Lady Xia discreetly tugged at Su Wanyue's sleeve.

Displeased, Su Wanyue glared at Lady Xia but ultimately remained silent, unwillingly lowering her head.

Gu He naturally noticed Lady Xia's and Su Wanyue's actions, but she pretended not to see and gracefully greeted Su Hu, who was sitting at the head of the table.

"Daughter is late due to poor health, please forgive me, father." She didn't think there was anything wrong with being late.

"Get up quickly. You are my daughter, how could I punish you for such a small matter?" Seeing Gu He's graceful and composed demeanor, Su Hu was slightly taken aback before saying, "Your health is not good, sit down and don't tire yourself."

Gu He looked around the table and noticed that instead of her mother, Lady Li was sitting in the position to Su Hu's left, which should have been her mother's place. To her right was Su Manjing. It seemed that her father didn't give her the dignity that a legitimate daughter should have. She furrowed her brows slightly and spoke.

"I wonder where father wants his daughter to sit." As the legitimate daughter and the eldest, it was inappropriate for her to sit in either the second position to the left or the right.

Upon hearing this, Su Hu was slightly embarrassed. He hadn't expected Gu He to raise such a question at this time, and she naturally knew the reason. As the legitimate daughter and the eldest, it was inappropriate for her to sit in either the second position to the left or the right.

Gu He looked at Su Hu with a faint smile on her lips.

Meeting Gu He's gaze, Su Hu felt somewhat awkward and coughed before saying, "Jing'er, give up your seat for He'er."

Upon hearing this, Su Manjing's smile faltered, and she rose, almost gritting her teeth as she said, "Yes, father! He'er, I will repay you twofold for what you have done to me today."

"Elder sister, I fainted these past few days, so I couldn't come to see you. Are you angry with me?" Gu He had just sat down when she heard Su Wanqing's voice.

"How could I be? Although you couldn't come to see me in person, you sent a gift and even the purse you sent is really useful. Look, I feel much better now than this morning. I'll have to ask you for more in the future." Gu He praised generously.

Su Wanqing was Lady Hui's daughter.

"As long as elder sister likes it." Su Wanqing shyly lowered her head, but at the same time, she glanced uneasily at Su Manjing.

However, Su Manjing pretended not to notice Su Wanqing's uneasy gaze and said, "If I had known that elder sister was going to visit, I should have gone with her. That way, elder sister might not have been angry with me."

Saying this, Su Manjing picked up a porcelain bowl, filled it with a bowl of soup, and handed it to Gu He, saying cheerfully, "Elder sister, you just woke up and your health is not good. You should drink some ginseng chicken soup to nourish yourself. This is specially stewed for you by the kitchen."

Jiehe raised her head, a faint smile on her face, like a few leaves falling into the water, causing ripples.

"Thank you, Second Sister, for your concern. My body is almost recovered. It's actually Second Sister who needs to copy the female precepts next. If not, you might lose weight, and both Father and Aunt Min will worry about you."

Thinking of her past life, Sumanjing had also brought a bowl of ginseng chicken soup at this time. However, she had never doubted Sumanjing at that time and had directly reached out to take the soup. Little did she know that the soup was exceptionally hot. She spilled it on Sumanhui and Su Hu, and in her past life, she had inevitably been punished for such a situation.

Sumanjing's face began to change as she said, "What are you talking about, Eldest Sister? This soup was specially stewed for you in the kitchen, and it's also my heartfelt gesture towards you. If you don't want to accept it, does that mean you're still mad at me?" Sumanjing seemed eager to get rid of the soup in her hand.

"How could I be mad at Second Sister? It's just that Second Sister is delicate, and I wouldn't dare to trouble Second Sister to serve the soup personally. But since Second Sister said this soup is rare, I naturally have to have a bowl."

As Jiehe finished speaking, the eldest sister immediately understood and stepped forward to serve Jiehe a bowl of soup.

However, before Jiehe could even put the spoon into the bowl, a scream rang out.
