The day of the birthday banquet arrived in a blink of an eye. Although Jiang Xuening's skin was two points whiter, it was still not good-looking, so she dressed fresh and neat.
The concubine on the left is dressed very luxuriously, wearing a crimson embroidered shirt and skirt, with a emerald ruby hairpin on her head. Her whole person is extremely bright, and her slightly raised eyes are full of momentum.
Jiang Xuening sincerely praised, "The concubine looks beautiful today."
The concubine on the left smiled brightly and said, "I guess you are discerning."
The two of them took a carriage together and headed to Shen's mansion. Concubine Zuo warned her worriedly, "You should follow me carefully tonight, don't act alone, don't wander around, and remember to stay away from the pond."
The pond is a place where accidents occur frequently. This is something she has learned from countless banquets.
Of course Jiang Xuening knew her good intentions and nodded obediently.
When the two arrived at the entrance of Shen's Mansion, it was already late and Shen's Mansion was bustling with activity.
The fourth young lady of the Shen family came out in person and said with a smile on her face, "The princess and the concubine are here, please come in quickly."
Along the way, I saw Shen's mansion decorated with lanterns and colorful lights, and the sound of silk and bamboo could be heard all the time.
As soon as they arrived, there was a moment of silence among the people at the table. The concubine on the left laughed loudly and said, "I wish the old lady a happy birthday and may she live as long as Nanshan."
An old lady with silver hair wearing a dark red dress with auspicious patterns and a forehead wipe stood up and said, "Concubine, you're welcome."
The two exchanged pleasantries, but Jiang Xuening, the princess, became transparent.
The best seats on the ladies' side were still vacant, obviously reserved for them.
Jiang Xuening walked over and sat down calmly. Since they treated her like nothing, there was no need for her to rush up.
Mrs. Shen is already 68 years old, which is considered a long life. On such an occasion, everyone laughed and said auspicious words, and the atmosphere was peaceful.
Jiang Xuening has a high status, but no one talks to her.
She took a sip of tea and didn't care much. It was not easy to fit into the family circle formed around family interests.
Concubine Zuo was tired after socializing for a while, so she sat quietly in her seat.
Jiang Xuening seemed indifferent, but was actually absent-minded. This night was destined to be extraordinary.
Suddenly there was a commotion at the banquet, and the girls around him became excited.
Jiang Xuening raised her eyes and saw that a group of young men from aristocratic families, led by Shen Shiyan, came in. All of them have extraordinary bearing and graceful demeanor. Walking together makes people unable to take their eyes away.
Aristocratic families have been married for generations, and they are more or less related by marriage. So a group of people all congratulated Mrs. Shen on her birthday.
The old lady was coaxed to smile, "They are all good children."
Jiang Xuening's eyes flashed past Shen Tingsi without stopping too long. He was dressed very luxuriously today, like a flower in full bloom, warm and gorgeous, and impossible to ignore.
The old lady waved to him lovingly, "Xiaosi, come here."
Shen Tingsi walked up and knelt down next to the old lady, "Grandma."
The old lady said "Hey" and said lovingly, "My poor Xiaosi, how are the injuries on your body?"
As soon as these words came out, someone subconsciously looked at Jiang Xuening. The grudge between the two was the most lively topic in Li'an City.
Shen Tingsi smiled pitifully, "It's getting better now."
The old lady touched his head and said to Jiang Xuening, "It was Xiaosi who was at fault that day. I would like to apologize to him. I hope that the princess will be generous enough to let him go."
What he said was interesting, as if Jiang Xuening had done something to him.
Tonight is the old lady's birthday party, and she is an elder. No matter what the rules, she had to give her face by speaking in person. Jiang Xuening smiled slightly and said, "Old Madam, this is serious. I have long forgotten what happened that day."
The old lady obviously didn't believe it and said to Shen Tingsi, "Xiao Si, go and toast the princess. If the princess drinks it, the matter will be considered cleared."
Shen Tingsi lowered his eyes and responded "Yes" obediently. He felt cold all over his body. The Shen family was indeed a place that eats people without spitting out their bones. From top to bottom, they were all wolves in sheep's clothing.
Of course he is not a good person either.
He turned back to the seat left for him, turned his back to everyone, filled the glass with wine, and brought it to Jiang Xuening, "I respect the princess, what happened that day was because I said the wrong thing."
The two people's eyes met, and Jiang Xuening saw too many complicated emotions in his eyes.
Her eyelashes trembled as she took the wine, "This glass of wine is really heavy."
Shen Tingsi suddenly raised his glass and drank all the wine in the glass decisively, "I'll do it first as a token of respect."
Opposite him, Shen Shiyan looked very unhappy and looked at Jiang Xuening nervously.
Jiang Xuening was holding the wine but didn't drink it for a long time.
The young master in Qingyi next to Shen Shiyan received his hint and said unruly, "The mistress has already drank. It would be inappropriate for the princess not to drink."
Jiang Xuening looked at him with a half-smile, "You're in such a hurry, then come and help me drink."
The young master in Tsing Yi's face changed slightly, "Humph, the princess is really arrogant. It's already miserable enough that Xiaosi has lost half of his life, and his marriage was ruined. The princess is still unwilling to let him go. Could it be that he is bullying others and insists on forcing him to do so?" He must die!"
This hat is too big, it seems that if she doesn't drink this glass of wine, she is narrow-minded and evil.
Shen Tingsi still turned his back to them and said to her with his eyes: Don't drink.
Jiang Xuening had already noticed that something was fishy. She raised the cup, tilted her hand and the wine in the cup was poured onto the table in front of everyone. She raised her eyebrows and said, "This is called bullying others if you watch."
The atmosphere was completely silent and no one spoke. Some people have begun to fear whether blood will be splattered on the spot.
Shen Shiyan suppressed the anger in his eyes and said, "Xiao Si, since the princess won't drink, then you can step back and don't make the princess unhappy."
It sounds like they are discouraging to avoid further intensification of conflicts. After Shen Tingsi heard this sentence, his expression changed.
Jiang Xuening clearly saw him revealing the sleeve arrows hidden in his sleeves, and he smiled at her.
That smile was so sad.
At the critical moment, Shen Tingsi stepped forward, turned over the table, and put the dagger across the old lady's neck.
The man on the left and the woman on the right. Jiang Xuening and the others represent the palace. They are seated at the first table on the right, only a few steps away from the seat of the old lady. The accident happened so fast that everyone was confused.
Only Shen Shiyan shouted angrily, "Shen Tingsi!"
A weird smile appeared on Shen Tingsi's face, blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, and he threw out the sleeve arrow in his hand.
"Sure enough, the third brother has done his best to poison the wine. As long as the princess drinks this glass of wine, she will be poisoned and die on the spot. If she doesn't drink it, then I will give her an arrow with a huge arrow on it." Poison, she will die as well.
No matter what the ending is, as long as she dies. It can be said that I was holding a grudge and waiting for revenge, and the two of them died together.
Even if they are all avoided, as long as I die. You can also throw dirty water on her and completely ruin her reputation, blaming her for being aggressive and driving me to death. "
The blood at the corner of Shen Tingsi's mouth was flowing more and more, and tears came out of his eyes as he laughed, "No matter what, Third Brother and the Shen Mansion will definitely win."
The concubine on the left is dressed very luxuriously, wearing a crimson embroidered shirt and skirt, with a emerald ruby hairpin on her head. Her whole person is extremely bright, and her slightly raised eyes are full of momentum.
Jiang Xuening sincerely praised, "The concubine looks beautiful today."
