flamboyant - Kapitel 75
I think I'm probably growing taller, otherwise why would I eat so much?
I'm ignoring the two fire-breathing dinosaurs, I'm going to eat.
Just as I was racking my brains, a not-too-unpleasant voice exclaimed in surprise to Lu Susu, "Sister Lu? Is it really you?" "Hello, Sister Zhenxin." It seemed she knew her and hadn't mistaken her for someone else.
The little girl took her seat without being invited.
I ate while looking at her. Her appearance was average, her hair was average, her temperament was average, her voice was average, her maid was average, and her figure was average. She was a failure.
"You're not allowed to sit at my table." You're already so arrogant, yet you still want to sit next to me? It's beneath my dignity.
Liu Ban frowned, as if he had just noticed me: "Who are you?"
"How dare you ask a man's name!" How rude! You have no manners. You're already seven-tenths rude, now add a glance to that list.
Lu Susu gave me a reproachful look, then said gently to Qi Ban, "Please excuse my sister, Eleventh Brother. This is the sixth daughter of Master Gao, the scholar of the Imperial Academy."
I shoveled rice into my mouth and peered at her through the gaps in the rice: "Sixth daughter? Why not the seventh daughter?"
"Eleventh Brother!" Lu Susu looked at me warningly. I shrugged indifferently. It wasn't my fault; it was just that she wasn't very good.
"Sister, this is Shen Ziyi. He is the eleventh child in his family. You can call him Eleventh Brother."
"No, I don't know her." I have high standards for people who call me brother.
Seventh Brother glared at me with his toad-like cheeks. Lu Susu awkwardly explained, "Eleventh Brother, Miss Gao will be moving into our house next month. We can't be rude."
"Why would she stay at our house?" She's crazy! Doesn't she have her own home? My house is very cramped.
Qi Ban's toad-like cheeks grew even larger, and Lu Susu's embarrassment almost reached its limit. "Miss Gao is about to marry into the Shen family."
"I'm not getting married." Who is he going to marry? I'm not marrying him. My first impression of him is terrible; how am I going to get along with him? No, no.
Lu Susu smacked me on the head without any politeness and said to Qi Ban, "I'm sorry, little sister, Eleven is usually busy with official business and doesn't pay much attention to things at home."
My poor, soft-haired self, why did you hit me too? Am I just that annoying to hit?
Seeing that I looked aggrieved, Lu Susu patted my head apologetically.
Lian'er coughed, spoiling the mood. Lu Susu noticed something was wrong, withdrew her hand, and said to me, "You can't be rude. Miss Gao is married to your fourth brother, so you still have to call her fourth sister-in-law."
"What? Marry Fourth Brother?" I stood up in surprise, staring at her with wide eyes. "Are you kidding me? How can you marry him? At most, you'd be a concubine."
After saying that, Qi Ban stood up angrily: "Sister Lu, I'll take my leave now."
Lu Susu tried to sit up. I quickly pressed her down and said to Qi Ban, "Take care, don't bother seeing me out."
After Miss Qiban walked away.
Lu Susu pulled her hand away from mine and complained, "Eleventh brother, do you know who she is?"
“People! I still recognize such obvious features.” Lian’er and Beibeixiong stood behind Lu Susu, covering their mouths and chuckling.
Lu Susu couldn't help but curl her lips into a smile: "You! No wonder my husband dotes on you the most, you're such a rascal. She's the daughter of Lord Gao Yanxing."
"Oh! A second-rank official."
"That's right, so you must not disrespect her."
"Tch, what's so great about a second-rank official? I wouldn't even give a first-rank official a second glance. Why would Fourth Brother marry her? To be a concubine, is it really necessary to marry her?"
Lu Susu nodded knowingly: "Although she is the sixth young lady, she is the daughter of the principal wife. Logically speaking, she is marrying down, and it is only right for us to marry her."
"Aren't you angry?" That's too much. Lu Susu shook her head indifferently: "What's there to be angry about? In the end, the result is the same."
"What did you say."
"It's nothing, eat quickly, it'll get cold soon."
Aren't you going to eat?
"I have no appetite."
"Because of that woman. I took care of her for you."
Lu Susu smiled and wiped the bean paste from the corner of my mouth: "You're talking nonsense again. You're getting married soon, you can't be so thoughtless." "Don't tease me. We haven't even seen the birth date yet."
"Who said that? The old lady mentioned your marriage to the master just the day before yesterday."
"Pfft! What did you say?! Talking about my marriage? You don't mean you want to sell me off, do you?"
Lu Susu hurriedly cleaned up the spilled bean curd stains for me, while Lian'er muttered bad things about me.
“You’re not young anymore. It’s time to settle down. When your husband was your age, he already had several concubines.”
"I won't compare myself to him." He's a guy, I'm a girl. He's a pig, he's a pig, and I'm just a pathetic wretch, wandering the streets unwanted by anyone.
"I'm not eating anymore, I'm depressed. I'm going to listen to music." I pushed away my bowl and chopsticks and turned to leave.
Lu Susu got up as well. After taking only a few steps, she collapsed and leaned on Beibeixiong, clutching her stomach and panting. Lian'er anxiously stepped forward and patted her back: "Is Madam feeling unwell? Let's go back."
Berenstain Bear quickly added, "Let's go back. If anything happens to the young master, no one can bear the responsibility." After saying that, Berenstain Bear gave me a meaningful look.
Lu Susu waved her hand weakly and said, "It's okay, I just need to rest for a bit."
I looked at Lu Susu and asked Lian'er, "Does your wife often react like this?" She's four months pregnant; she shouldn't be reacting like this. Back then... "Often, it used to be once every two days, but now it's almost every day."
"Lian'er, you mustn't talk nonsense."
