On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Yan Ruyu was just about to ask the first lady why she said that when Madam Wu San arrived.

She walked into the front hall and said with a smile, "Everyone, my mother has gone to the flower hall to wait for you. Please go together."

Yan Ruyu was slightly surprised and looked at the eldest lady. The eldest lady raised her eyebrows slightly, indicating that it was expected.

Everyone followed Mrs. Wu San to the flower hall.

On the way, Yan Ruyu asked the eldest lady: "Mother, how do you know that she won't come?"

"The Third Madam has been scolded several times, and the seating arrangement in the hall was not according to their original arrangement. She will definitely exaggerate when she goes to see Old Madam Wu."

"Why did Madam Wu hold this flower viewing party? Isn't it just to save our face? Just wait and see, there will be trouble in the flower hall again."

The eldest lady said this, not at all angry, but rather eager to try.

Yan Ruyu smiled secretly and let the lady play. She was free anyway and it was rare for someone to come to her house and play with her.

When they were almost near the flower hall, the third lady pointed to a flower shed not far away.

"Look, everyone. That's our flower shed. There are three or four kinds of flowers in it, and they are in full bloom."

"My mother has asked me to cut the flowers and put them in a vase in the flower hall. Please enjoy them, ladies."

Princess Mingzhao whispered to Yan Ruyu, "You only have three or four kinds. You are so shameless to show off. The ones you gave me are more than ten kinds."

Yan Ruyu nodded. Those were the ones grown in the abbot’s space. They were naturally different, with many varieties, blooming well, and a long flowering period.

Madam Cao had sharp ears. When she heard what Princess Mingzhao said, she came over and asked, "What kind of flowers are these? Are there more than ten kinds in this season?"

She looked at Yan Ruyu with anticipation and a hint of resentment in her eyes.

Yan Ruyu: "...I'll give some to Madam when I get back."

Mrs. Cao immediately smiled and said, "Okay."

Princess Mingzhao rolled her eyes silently.

As the Third Lady spoke, she kept glancing at Yan Ruyu from the corner of her eyes, thinking of her lonely look.

It was true that the palace was rich before, but it is definitely different now. Instead of laughing at the poor, she prefers to see other people's families broken up, their fortunes falling, and their phoenixes falling from grace. Once they fall from the white clouds, they will be covered in mud and stepped on by others.

But not only did she not see what she wanted to see, but she saw Princess Mingzhao and Madam Cao whispering with Yan Ruyu, and she had no idea what they were talking about.

The third wife was depressed and said loudly, "Madam Cao, mother specially prepared a large vase for you. Take a look at it later and see if you like it."

Mrs. Cao was in a good mood, but after hearing what she said, she felt a little disappointed. She snorted lightly as a response.

Entering the flower hall, the old lady was sitting in the head seat drinking tea, and tea was also placed on other small tables.

That's nothing, but what's eye-catching is that on each seat there is a piece of paper with the ladies' surnames written on it.

In this way, who sits in which seat has already been decided.

Yan Ruyu glanced around and saw that her name was the second to last, and the eldest lady's name was at the very end, the last.

Madam Cao sat in the first seat, and Princess Mingzhao was finally given some face and sat in the second seat.

If it was anything else, even if the words were spoken in a sarcastic tone, Yan Ruyu would not want to argue with them, but as it was happening now, and it was so obvious, she could not tolerate it.

She glanced at the eldest lady. Her face was sullen, but her eyes were bright with excitement of joining the battle.

Yan Ruyu: “…” Mother, please hold back a little.

Mrs. Cao was also shocked. She thought the Wu family didn't know how to handle personnel matters, but she didn't expect them to be so incompetent.

Putting her first and letting Yan Ruyu and the eldest lady rank second to last, isn't that like putting her on the fire?

Is that a good seat? Is that a charcoal fire?

Absolutely ridiculous!

Princess Mingzhao's face also turned dark. What the hell is this?

Everyone was looking at Madam Cao. They had never attended such a banquet with Yan Ruyu before, so they didn't know her temperament well, but they knew Madam Cao's character.

Especially since Mrs. Cao was very respectful to Yan Ruyu just now, as soon as they met, she asked them to follow her in performing the greetings.

Everyone was very shrewd and no one dared to sit over there.

Madam Wu smiled and put down the teacup, then stood up and said, "Ladies, all are here, please take your seats!"

"Madam Cao, this time it's Xiangfeng. Knowing that you are willing to come, our whole mansion is filled with joy. Come on, take a seat."

Mrs. Cao raised the corners of her mouth, which was considered a smile.

"What are you talking about, old lady? Didn't you send me an invitation? Since you invited me with courtesy, it would be rude for me not to come."

"My master is a rough man, unlike Old Master Wu who is a teacher in the academy and knows a lot, but this lady also knows the hierarchy."

Madam Wu was stunned: "Madam, what you said..."

Mrs. Cao had been patient for a long time. She picked up the piece of paper with her name on it and tore it in half.

"Then let me be frank. This kind of hospitality is really unheard of."

As soon as Mrs. Cao tore it, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became cold.

Old Madam Wu's expression also changed.

Madam Wu frowned slightly and stepped forward and said, "Madam Cao, this matter..."

Madam Cao raised her hand to interrupt her: "It's none of your business. Whoever came up with this idea has the final say."

Yan Ruyu slowly spoke: "Madam Wu, let's be frank. You acted like this, writing my name and my mother's name at the end. Are you trying to slap the palace in the face?"

"Is it because you are a distant relative of the Princess of Yongchang, or is there another reason?"

Yan Ruyu originally wanted to watch the show for fun, but now she couldn't let Madam Cao take the lead everywhere.

She came up with the problem directly, which caught Mrs. Wu off guard.

The eldest lady sneered, "If you're talking about coming for the Princess of Yongchang County, then you're coming for me, Madam Wu. I've never met you before, and we have no grudges against each other. When I received your invitation, I could have refused to come, but I thought it was out of courtesy. I came this time, but I've been fighting since I got to the door, one thing after another."

"I have seen a lot in the capital, but this kind of thing of writing names to arrange seats is the first time I have seen it. It is worthy of a family with a scholar, the method they come up with is very creative."

The third lady said, "What the princess and madam said is unreasonable..."

"This princess is talking to the mistress of your Wu family who sent the invitation. Is it the Wu family's custom for others to interrupt?" Yan Ruyu's eyes narrowed.

The ruby ​​hairpin on her head sparkled and gleamed, reflecting her cold eyes, making her look noble and majestic.

Mrs. Wu also had a ruby ​​hairpin on her head, which looked dull among her gray hair.

Madam Wu gritted her teeth secretly: "Princess, what you said is a bit biased. I am afraid that you will sit in the wrong seats, like what happened in the front hall just now."

"Was it the wrong place to sit in the front hall just now?" Yan Ruyu chuckled and glanced around. "Is it the right place now?"

"It is true that the princess is of noble status, but... the times are different now. You are exiled here, and this position... is already good enough for you to have one."

"If we really want to argue, I can deny you the seat."

Mrs. Cao gasped—it was really fucking crazy.

Yan Ruyu smiled instead of getting angry: "You don't want us to sit? Okay, then what do we need this seat for?"

She tilted her head to look at Linlang behind her.

Linlang could no longer hold back and pulled out the whip from her waist.
