Chapter 267 Hosting a Banquet for Lin Jie's Family
Su Nian'an smiled warmly, her smile like a beautiful flower blooming in spring, and said softly, "That's good. If there's anything you're not used to, be sure to tell me."
Her radiant smile seemed to dispel all the gloom in the world, making people feel as if they were in a gentle spring breeze, immersing themselves in unparalleled comfort and ease.
Brother Lin Jie quickly responded, his face full of sincerity and gratitude, his tone firm and powerful, like a resounding bell: "It's all good, it's all good, there's really nothing I'm not used to."
His resolute face was filled with heartfelt sincerity, and his eyes revealed deep gratitude for this care, like clear lake water reflecting the bright moonlight.
Sister-in-law Lin Jie looked on with curiosity, her eyes sparkling with wonder.
The light contained a hint of doubt, as if trying to pierce through layers of mist.
Having uncovered a little-known secret, he asked, "Sister-in-law, what kind of prominent family did your sister marry into?"
The interior of this house is so beautifully decorated, it's breathtakingly luxurious.
No, I heard from my mother that your eldest sister didn't get married, but raised her son alone.
Besides, your eldest sister looks like an angel descended from heaven, could it be...!
Upon hearing his sister-in-law's words, Lin Jie became extremely anxious and hurriedly shouted to stop her, "Sister-in-law, you mustn't say such things!"
The eldest sister gained the emperor's favor through her extraordinary abilities and was personally bestowed the title of Princess Anguo by the emperor.
Moreover, the baby's father was the powerful regent. Everyone in the capital knew this.
"Eldest sister, Nian'an and the others' maternal grandmother is the highly respected Dowager Madam of the Duke's Mansion, and their uncle is the incomparably noble Duke himself."
He became more and more excited as he spoke, his eyes sparkling with a bright, star-like light, filled with admiration for Su Yinyin.
It was as if this glory could also be transmitted through his eyes, illuminating everything around him and drawing the attention of the whole world.
Sister-in-law Lin Jie pursed her lips and muttered softly, "So that's how it is, no wonder."
Just look at the luxurious grandeur of this mansion, and the noble and extraordinary air about the eldest sister; you can tell she's no ordinary person.
Suddenly, Sister-in-law Lin Jie seemed to have thought of something extremely important.
Her expression became cautious, and she asked timidly, "I... I talked back to your older sister like that before, will she blame me for it?"
Her face was filled with deep worry and unease, her expression like that of a child who had done something wrong and was trembling with fear, waiting to be punished, her heart filled with terror and remorse.
Su Nian'an said with a serious expression and earnest tone, "Sister-in-law, my eldest sister is broad-minded and magnanimous. She wouldn't take such a trivial matter to heart."
But we must never act like this again in the future.
Furthermore, my eldest sister's affairs are not something to be discussed casually; you must carefully consider the implications and consequences involved.
Sister-in-law Lin Jie nodded quickly, her face sincere and her gaze firm, and said, "I know, I know, I was just asking out of curiosity."
With your words, I feel much more at ease.
I promise I will definitely correct my bad habits from now on, live an honest and law-abiding life, and make the most of it.
As she spoke, she nodded repeatedly, her eyes filled with determination and resolve, as if she had made an unwavering vow.
At this moment, Su Yinyin walked in gracefully, her voice clear and melodious like a babbling brook in the mountains, and a gentle smile on her face like the warm spring sun. She said, "What are you all talking about? It's so lively."
Upon hearing her voice, everyone immediately stopped talking, and for a moment the atmosphere became somewhat awkward, as if time itself had frozen and the surrounding air had become heavy.
Seeing this, Su Yinyin's smile became even more friendly, like a spring breeze trying to ease the tense atmosphere. She said, "Don't be shy, just say what you want to say."
Her smile is incredibly approachable, as if it possesses an invisible power that can instantly relax people, like basking in warm sunshine, soothing both body and mind.
Brother Lin Jie's eyes darted around, and he seemed a little uneasy, as if his thoughts had been read. He said, "It's nothing, we just chatted for a bit."
Looking at Su Yinyin's elegant and noble demeanor, Lin Jie's sister-in-law finally realized her previous rashness and rudeness, and couldn't help but feel afraid.
Now, when she recalls the words she once said to Su Yinyin, she suddenly feels that she was simply unreasonable and utterly absurd.
So she mustered her courage and said, "Everyone is here today, and I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to Mother and Sister Nian'an."
I shouldn't have said those awful things. Mother, Sister Nian'an, I'm sorry!
Her voice trembled slightly, and her face was full of guilt. Her appearance made people feel sorry for her, like a flower withering in the wind and rain, which made people feel sorry for her.
Seeing her eldest daughter-in-law's guilty face, Lin Jie's mother quickly comforted her, "We're all family, let's not talk about the past anymore. Let's just live our lives well from now on."
Her tone was kind and tolerant, like a warm spring breeze gently caressing everyone's heart and nourishing everyone's soul.
Su Yinyin smiled and said, "It's good that you understand, sister-in-law. We're family, so there's no need for formalities."
Her eyes were filled with relief and tolerance, as if they could encompass all the mistakes in the world, like a vast and boundless ocean that can hold all rivers.
Why did Su Yinyin ultimately bring Lin Jie's sister-in-law along, and why did she forgive her so easily?
That evening, Su Yinyin walked lightly into her aunt's room. She found the room spotless and clean, with a floor so smooth it seemed to reflect her image.
The environment was quiet and peaceful, making it ideal for patients to recuperate. Furthermore, the patient's clothes and blankets were brand new, emitting a faint, fresh fragrance.
That room was clearly the best room in their house.
The fact that he was able to give up the best room without hesitation and tidy it up so neatly shows that this person's nature is not completely corrupted and there is still room for redemption.
Unlike those ruthless and vicious people who take lives without a shred of mercy.
Therefore, Su Yinyin was still happy to give her a chance to reform and start anew.
Sister-in-law Lin Jie said with deep gratitude, "Thank you, Mother, thank you, Sister Nian'an."
Her voice was filled with sincere gratitude, trembling slightly as if she were overwhelmed with emotion, her inner feelings surging like a turbulent wave.
