After I stopped being a lady from a rich family, I fought all over the capital

Chapter 272 Miscellaneous Fish
Song Lan raised an eyebrow as she looked at the Su family members who had come to visit again, not particularly surprised.

"I made some mixed fish noodles at home and thought I'd bring you some so you could try something new."

Tan Ci brought out a food box and explained his purpose.

"The old woman who cooks at the stove has some family traditions. The mixed fish sauce she makes has no muddy taste at all, but is very delicious."

"I was worried you wouldn't eat spicy food, so I made both spicy and non-spicy versions."

Song Lan raised an eyebrow: "You're very kind, Madam."

It's just a matter of delivering noodles; does the whole family have to come?

She smiled and looked at Tan Ci and the others: "I wonder if there's anything else, Madam?"

"Why don't you tell me first?"

"Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't feel comfortable after this meal."

Tan Ci glared at Su Wenheng: It's all his fault for coming up with this terrible idea!
If you insist on bringing some food over, at least you'll have a reason to come in.

Now look what happened, his thoughts have been exposed, and he's in an awkward situation.

"It's nothing serious, it's just..."

Tanci shared some of her previous speculations from when she was at home with others.

Song Lan raised an eyebrow: "Does Madam suspect the Xue family?"

Tan Ci nodded somewhat embarrassedly: "Although it's wrong to make such malicious assumptions about others, but..."

She couldn't shake the feeling of unease that Xue Wan had sent her.

It's just too much of a coincidence.

"That's quite a coincidence. I also think there's something wrong with the Xue family," Song Lan said calmly.

Tan Ci immediately became alert: "Does Your Excellency also think there's something wrong with the Xue family?"

So, is the Xue family really one of the murderers who harmed her daughter? Or did they realize that her daughter had been rescued and want to harm her again?
Tan Ci was instantly thrown into a state of utter confusion, feeling bewildered and at a loss.

I don't know if there's a problem.

Song Lan said calmly, "However, Miss Xue sent me an invitation."

"They've even found out where I live, but they still call me Miss Xie."

"It's as if my eligibility to be invited to her so-called flower-viewing and garden poetry gathering is entirely due to my status as a cousin of the Xie family."

She chuckled softly: "I think this person is either incredibly stupid or mentally ill."

"what?"

Tan Ci was stunned for a moment before saying, "Just because of this?"

Isn't it a little hasty?

But thinking about it carefully, it does seem to be quite problematic. Even when she was oblivious to everything else and only wanted her daughter to wake up, she had heard about Song Lan severing ties with the Xie family.

For a wealthy family like the Xue family, since they had decided to hold a flower viewing party and entertain dignitaries from the capital, how could they not carefully inquire about these matters to avoid offending anyone and causing unpleasantness for both sides?

This is not the negligence that a noble family should have.

Unless, the Xue family's invitation to Song Lan was intentionally meant to humiliate him.

But now, even the most blind person should be able to see that Song Lan is someone the Princess is protecting.

Offending Song Lan and humiliating him would be tantamount to hurting the Princess's pride.

What is the Xue family up to?
Tan Ci realized the unusual nature of the situation and couldn't help but look at Song Lan: "Then..."

"Are you planning to go, sir?"

She thought that if Song Lan went, Su Xianyun could come along as a companion.

With Song Lan protecting her, she shouldn't just stand by and watch her daughter get into trouble... right?
