After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

No one else even responded to what Liu Yunxiang said.

What Yan Mu said was ridiculous, and what Liu Yunxiang said was even more unfathomable, so no one cared.

Liu Yunxiang frowned. She and Yan Mu knew some inside information, so it was understandable that others did not believe it if they had such speculation.

Moreover, they are both confused now and cannot see the situation clearly. I always feel that what they saw and guessed seems very shallow and has not touched the truth.

The broken arm was taken away by the officials. People from the Dingyuan Hou Mansion came out to greet everyone to the front yard, and the banquet would begin immediately.

Liu Yunxiang and Yan Mu couldn't think clearly, so they stopped thinking about it.

"Go, Mr. Xue seems to be waiting for you." Liu Yunxiang glanced at the Chuihua door to the west and said.

Yan Mu looked back and saw Xue Changfeng waiting there, looking eagerly this way.

He sighed helplessly: "How can a grown man be so verbose!"

Liu Yunxiang smiled: "It's good, at least it won't be boring."

"I prefer peace and quiet."

"go quickly."

Watching Yan Mu go over, he saw Xue Changfeng chasing him, mumbling incomprehensibly. Liu Yunxiang smiled, she really thought it was good. Although Yan Mu was the King of Zhenbei, he was a thorn in the side of many people, so many people would deliberately alienate him.

I don't know whether Xue Changfeng is a brainless person or a real person. It's rare that he is willing to get close to Yan Mu.

"I have told you so much, do you understand clearly that my cousin is a fairy-like figure, and there is no way she will like you, a bastard, let alone be your King of Zhenbei's concubine!"

Yan Mu turned his head and saw Xue Changfeng staring at him with wide eyes, eager for him to nod to express his understanding and approval.

He twitched the corner of his mouth, then narrowed his eyes and said: "Your cousin seems to be indifferent, but in fact, the city is very deep, and her methods are extremely high, and she can fool you, a fool."

"You!" Xue Changfeng gritted his teeth, "I don't allow you to talk about my cousin like that!"

Yan Mu hugged his shoulders and snorted, "As a friend, I'm telling you this. Do you like to hear it or not? Anyway, you will suffer a loss sooner or later in her hands."

"Anyone who insults my cousin is definitely not my friend!"

"Oh, idiot!"

The table had been set up in the east courtyard. After Liu Yunxiang passed by, Su Rumeng called her to the seat next to her and sat down.

Liu Yunxiang glanced around and didn't see Bai Jingyu, "Where is the fourth sister-in-law?"

"She's not feeling well, so she's going back first."

Liu Yunxiang nodded, Bai Jingyu looked very bad, and he shouldn't be here today.

"Jingyu is inconvenient, and she doesn't like the excitement. She didn't want to come, but that bastard the Fourth forced her to come." Su Rumeng sighed.

"Why is this?"

Su Rumeng leaned forward and leaned in front of Liu Yunxiang, and whispered: "The sixth girl from Dingyuan Hou Mansion is as delicate and pretty as a peachy plum. Ever since the queen told the fourth child, she wanted him to marry the sixth girl from Dingyuan Hou Mansion." The concubine, the fourth child, was already interested in her, but the Queen inquired about the old lady of the Hou Mansion, and the Hou Mansion seemed dissatisfied with the marriage. After further questioning, it seemed that the sixth girl was unwilling. This old fourth child is not here today. We must ask Jingyu to come and let her meet the sixth girl and act as a lobbyist."

Liu Yunxiang snorted coldly, "What does he think when his wife comes forward for such a thing!"

Su Rumeng sighed, "He's stupid!"

"Hmph, it's so abominable."

Liu Yunxiang was angry for Bai Jingyu, but it was useless for them to be angry about other people's family matters.

"But Mrs. Dingyuanhou is a strong person. If she agrees, then it will be useless if the sixth girl refuses."

Su Rumeng shook her head, "This sixth girl has a strong temper. When she saw an injustice, she beat up a betrayed man on the street. The beating made the betrayed man cry for father and mother. Six girls also became famous in one battle, so the old lady really may not be able to control her. .”

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "This kind of temper is rare."

"She is indeed a girl with a true temperament."

When the two of them said this, the old lady of the Dingyuan Hou Mansion came out and first apologized to the female guests present. She found a broken arm in the back garden, which disturbed the female guests' interest in admiring the flowers.

Everyone was very considerate to the Hou Mansion. Except for the fourth imperial concubine who left because she felt unwell, everyone else was still there.

The old lady toasted everyone first, and then invited everyone to take their seats.

When we were using the banquet, the courtyard gradually became lively, and the female guests were chatting and laughing. At this time, Murong Lingyi came, wearing a crimson gauze skirt, ruby ​​​​hair and hair, with her bun down, and returned to her girlish look, very bright.

She walked into the courtyard, raised her chin, lowered her eyes and glanced around. When she saw Liu Yunxiang, she glared at her. Finally, her eyes fell on Jiang Yunying, who was sitting with several noble ladies from aristocratic families, and she snorted contemptuously.

With her arrival, the scene suddenly became quiet.

Mrs. Dingyuan Hou obviously did not expect her to come. After being stunned for a moment, she hurriedly stepped forward to greet her: "Princess, I didn't expect you to come. Please take a seat quickly."

Murong Lingyi sneered coldly: "Why, this princess can't come?"

"Oh, what did the princess say? I'm so happy that you can come."

Mrs. Dingyuan Hou personally led Murong Lingyi to the seat next to her. This seat was better than the seats occupied by Liu Yunxiang and Su Rumeng, and it was logically speaking that it was against the rules.

But the eldest princess is the emperor's biological sister. The eldest princess has made great contributions to the emperor's ascension to the throne. Therefore, the status of the eldest princess's palace has always been high, surpassing that of the prince's palace and the prince's palace.

The old lady of Dingyuan Hou gave Murong Lingyi plenty of food, but Murong Lingyi stood in front of the table and refused to sit down.

"Elder princess, what are you doing?" Mrs. Dingyuan Hou was a little embarrassed. After all, she was so old. She was smiling to lose face, but Murong Lingyi looked indifferent and refused to sit down.

Murong Lingyi looked at Jiang Yunying, "Everyone here is either a relative of the emperor or a daughter of an aristocratic family, but there seems to be something dirty mixed in here. Looking at this dirty thing really affects my mood."

Mrs. Dingyuan Hou followed Murong Lingyi's line of sight and saw Jiang Yunying. She really didn't know him, so she only found out after asking a lady sitting next to him.

She came with the honor of Wuchang Hou Mansion, the daughter of the gatekeeper.

The old lady frowned. Even so, the visitor was a guest and she couldn't really drive them away.

"Princess, why don't I accompany you to sit in the house?" Mrs. Dingyuan Hou said with a smile.

Murong Lingyi snorted coldly: "It seems that this princess is not worthy of sitting here!"

"No, no, the princess has a noble status, no one can compare with her."

The old lady did not dare to offend Murong Lingyi, so she could only look at Jiang Yunying, hoping that she would be wise enough to leave.

At this time, Jiang Yunying's cheeks were flushed, and she was sitting there awkwardly. People around her were looking at her, and some comments reached her ears.

"I heard that her father is a goalkeeper and has no moral character."

"With such a lowly background, how can she have the nerve to come to the banquet?"

"She has taken advantage of the Marquis of Wuchang Mansion. I heard that her mother and the late Madam Marquis of Wuchang are cousins."

"Oh, who doesn't have relatives who are in ruins, but they are so far apart, it's really not a shame."

Even sitting at the same table with her, the girls from aristocratic families who had played well before showed disgusted expressions.

Jiang Yunying lowered her head, clenched her fists, took a deep breath, then stood up, walked down the corridor, walked to the middle of the yard, then raised her head and looked forward.

"I still have something to do at home, so I won't disturb everyone's interest, so I will go back first."

After finishing speaking, she turned and walked out.

Su Rumeng sighed here, "A group of people who flatter others and flatter others can really abuse people."

Liu Yunxiang said silently, "If I were her, I wouldn't come here today."

"You think she's embarrassed too?"

Liu Yunxiang shook his head: "People can't decide their own origins, and people don't distinguish between high and low. You have to follow the right path and move forward based on your own abilities. Only with strength can you have the confidence."
