Chapter 303 Retreating to Advance
The Song family has prepared not only snacks and fruits today, but also fried chicken.
Because the fried chicken business has been booming lately, and it's usually sold out if you go too late, the guests were very happy to be able to eat it at the mansion today.
Chu Muyao's eyes lit up when she saw the fried chicken. "I've heard that fried chicken is delicious in the palace recently, but my mother has been keeping an eye on me to learn etiquette, so I haven't had a chance to leave the palace. Today I can finally taste it."
"Today we've prepared not only fried chicken, but also grilled sausages. Try them and see how they taste. This shop will open in a few days."
Song Ruozhen smiled. Ever since her fried chicken business became a hit, she decided to open a shop and make more delicious food.
On the one hand, she can make a fortune, and on the other hand, she can eat whatever she wants whenever she wants, satisfying her appetite.
When Meng Qin and Yun Nianchu heard that there were other snacks, they both showed expressions of anticipation.
When the grilled sausages were served, everyone couldn't wait to try them. One bite and their mouths were filled with fresh and delicious flavors. The meat juices burst in their mouths, making them incredibly tasty.
"My goodness, Ruozhen, you're such a great cook! I had no idea!"
Yun Nianchu was shocked. She felt that she hadn't known Ruozhen well enough over the years. She had no idea that Ruozhen was such a good cook, and that every dish was so delicious!
Meng Qin nodded repeatedly, not bothering to say more, and ate very quickly.
Seeing how fast these two young ladies from prominent families were moving, Chu Muyao quickly grabbed another one. If she had been any later, there probably wouldn't have been any left!
The Song family's wedding banquet was extremely lively, and a lot of effort was put into the food. Song Ruozhen specially improved several dishes, which drew praise from everyone.
Everyone knows that the Song family is wealthy and powerful, and this wedding was a grand affair. The banquet featured top-notch ingredients and delicious food, which was highly praised.
At this moment, the Liu family arrived in a grand procession.
When Liu Ruyan saw the Liu family, her face darkened. She had already said last time that she was severing ties, but these people came again today. She knew without a doubt that it was not a good thing!
"Ruyan, today is a joyous occasion for Yanzhou. As his maternal grandmother, I must come. You won't be unhappy, will you?"
With a cautious smile on her face, Liu's mother saw Liu Ruyan's cold expression and wiped her eyes sadly, looking quite pitiful.
"I know you're still angry about what happened last time, but no matter what, we're family. How can we really sever ties like this?"
You are a piece of my flesh; if you truly disown me as your mother, wouldn't that be like stabbing my heart with a knife?
Liu Ruyan didn't want to see the Liu family in the first place, but seeing that they had come, she only planned to keep the peace for the time being and deal with it after today's wedding banquet.
Unexpectedly, when Liu's mother arrived, she immediately brought up the matter of severing ties with the other family. Her face darkened instantly, clearly indicating that she was deliberately trying to cause trouble today!
"Sister, it's all my fault. If you have any complaints, just vent them on me. You can't sever ties with Mother over such a small thing. That would make her so sad!"
Liu Feiyan stepped forward and took Liu Ruyan's hand, her face full of guilt and apology, but her eyes were filled with smugness.
Liu Ruyan's attempt to sever ties with them to get rid of them is absolutely impossible!
If she makes a scene today, given her soft nature, she'll be easily manipulated by them.
Upon hearing that someone from the Liu family had arrived, Song Ruozhen realized something was wrong. When she arrived, she saw the two sides facing off, and a look of disgust flashed in her eyes.
Taking this opportunity to apologize shows no remorse whatsoever; they're just trying to take advantage of the situation to manipulate their mother!
Once Liu Ruyan smooths things over in this situation, it will be a golden opportunity for them to take advantage of her!
Seeing Liu Ruyan's changing expression, and having heard the rumors about the Liu family recently, the people around her understood the situation better.
"I heard that Madam Song has severed ties with the Liu family. There were rumors a few days ago that Madam Song was unfilial. I didn't know if it was true or not, but after seeing it today, it's probably true."
“I believe in severing ties with relatives, but I absolutely do not believe that Madam Song is unfilial.”
My family lives near the Liu family's place, so I know their ways very well. They've already taken a lot from the Song family over the years, and they still aren't done!"
"I've heard that the Liu family is extremely biased towards the two sisters, Liu Ruyan and Liu Feiyan. They've given Liu Feiyan all the best things since she was little, and that hasn't changed at all as she's grown up."
Strangely enough, although Liu Feiyan was inferior to Liu Ruyan in every way, the Liu family seemed to be bewitched, showing unwavering favoritism towards her.
Liu's mother came here today with the intention of not letting Liu Ruyan sever ties with them. The Song family is a lucrative prospect; as long as the Song family is involved, they will benefit.
It would be a great pity to break it off so easily; it would be detrimental to them in every way.
With so many people around, if Ruyan were to feign pitifulness, she would be condemned by everyone. In that case, even for the sake of the children's future, she would have to take back all those words.
Once it's done, she'll never be able to threaten them with those words again!
Unexpectedly, the situation was different from what I had imagined. Why were all the people around me speaking up for Ruyan?
Song Ruozhen and her siblings exchanged glances, not surprised by the situation. The Liu family liked to spread rumors, and they naturally wouldn't let them have their way.
"I've also heard some rumors recently that Liu Ruyan might not be the Liu family's biological daughter at all, which is why they mistreat her!"
In the crowd, someone spoke of a rumor they had recently heard. Those around them were also surprised to hear this, as they had also heard it, but they were too embarrassed to say it directly in front of the Liu family.
Unexpectedly, someone said it out loud, and they actually felt that what they said was very likely the truth!
Mother Liu was shocked and immediately said sadly, "My God, who is saying such heartless things outside? Ruyan is a piece of my flesh and blood. I carried her for ten months and gave birth to her. How can she not be my own child?"
"Sister, you can't believe such words! How heartbroken Mother would be!"
In the end, you just don't like me. Fine, I'll leave the Liu family. Just don't hold a grudge against your family, okay?
Liu Feiyan looked heartbroken. "Mother, it's all my fault. Since my sister is angry, I won't go back anymore and I will never make you angry again."
Seeing that Liu Ruyan hadn't said anything yet, but it seemed like she was forcing her to never enter the Liu family again, Song Ruozhen and the others sneered.
Unexpectedly, Liu Feiyan's skills have improved after a short time apart. She used to only know how to argue and make trouble, but now she has also learned a trick of retreating to advance.
"When did I ever say I wanted you to leave the Liu family? Sister, I really don't understand why you always try to pin the blame on me?" Liu Ruyan said incredulously.
