Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

After returning from Lu Siheng's place, Dong Jiafu settled down and continued writing the storybook, and did not stop writing until Cui Yaying's son's full moon ceremony.

When leaving in the morning, Xu Yiwan brought her the congratulatory gift he had prepared.

"Afu, can you go alone? If you can't, my mother will go with you." After packing her things, Xu Yiwan took Dong Jiafu's hand and said as she walked out.

"Don't worry, mother. Yaying is my friend. I've been to Shen's house a few times and I'm quite familiar with it. Mother doesn't like to participate in this kind of game, so just rest at home. I'll be back soon."

If it hadn't been for Cui Yaying's promise when she went to see her last time, Dong Jiafu wouldn't have wanted to go to such a crowded place.

Xu Yiwan nodded, "Okay, let Xia Zhi follow you and go home early after the banquet."

The carriage was waiting at the door. Dong Jiafu walked over and said, "Mom, please go in."

Xu Yiwan waved her hand, "Don't worry about me, get in the car quickly."

Xia Zhi helped Dong Jiafu into the carriage, and the wheels turned forward.

The carriage approached Shen's Mansion, and you could hear the congratulations outside the carriage.

After the car stopped, Dong Jiafu got down from the car and saw Mrs. Shen and Shen Zhiming welcoming guests outside the door.

"Mrs. Shen, Mr. Shen, congratulations."

Dong Jiafu asked Xia Zhi to put the gifts on the table aside, and someone from the Shen family would pick them up.

The last time she left the Shen family, she had met Mrs. Shen.

"Thank you, Miss Dong, for coming. Please come in quickly." Mrs. Shen greeted warmly with a happy face.

Shen Zhiming knew her, "Ya Ying is waiting for you, please come in."

Dong Jiafu was guided by her servants to a room where many ladies and ladies were sitting. Cui Yaying sat in the middle with her child in her arms.

Hearing the servant's reply, Cui Yaying looked towards her and waved happily, "Afu, come quickly."

The originally lively room fell silent for a moment, and everyone turned their attention to her.

Dong Jiafu just glanced briefly. She couldn't stand the crowd of people for a while. She nodded slightly as a courtesy, and then walked straight towards Cui Yaying.

"Yuzhu, give Afu an embroidery stool." Cui Yaying ordered.

Dong Jiafu sat down in front of her and listened to her say: "I heard you went to Yangzhou a few days ago. I was worried that you wouldn't be able to make it to Brother Quan's full moon ceremony. Fortunately, you are back."

"It happened suddenly, but fortunately I didn't miss it." Dong Jiafu said warmly.

"Look at Brother Quan, is he longer than when you first saw him?" Cui Yaying turned the child over to show her.

Brother Quan was wearing a festive red dress, he was chubby, his big clear eyes that looked like Shen Zhiming's were rolling, and when he looked at Dong Jiafu, he even opened his mouth and smiled.

Cui Yaying was very surprised, "Brother Quan actually smiled when he saw you. He must like you too."

Faced with such a young child, Dong Jiafu also likes it very much, "I haven't seen him for more than 20 days, and my brother Quan is getting more and more energetic as he grows older."

A lady on the side joked: "This girl is beautiful. Not only is it pleasing to our eyes, but even Brother Quan, a baby who has just turned one month old, knows how beautiful she is. Otherwise, so many of us would have been teasing him here for a long time. I’ve never seen him smile like this at anyone.”

"Niece-in-law, what kind of daughter is this friend of yours? He looks very handsome, isn't he from our capital? Otherwise, with such a good appearance, anyone who comes to propose marriage would have to cross the threshold." Another Shen asked the wife of the family branch.

Cui Yaying hugged the restless brother Quan and introduced to everyone: "This is the only daughter of Mr. Dong, the left deputy censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The family has just arrived in the capital not long ago, so they don't know many people."

Dong Jingtang is now highly respected in the court, and the people present are all family members of officials, so naturally they know something about the affairs of the court.

"It turns out that she is Lord Dong's daughter, no wonder she is so outstanding."

Mrs. Zhou, the Marquis of Zhongjing, had recognized Dong Jiafu early in the morning, and waited until this moment to speak: "I heard that Miss Dong had been living in the capital the year Lord Dong's accident happened, and she happened to work as a servant in Duke Dingguo's mansion. I didn't believe it at first, but now that I see that Mrs. Shen and Miss Dong are so close, it seems that the rumors are true."

Zhou's eyes were full of contempt when she looked at Dong Jiafu, "A good official's daughter has been working as a servant in someone else's house for several years. Miss Dong really has a hard life."

"Is there such a thing?" Someone was surprised.

Not many people knew about Dong Jiafu's previous affairs in Duke Dingguo's palace, and Princess Minghui reminded her in the palace that no one in Dingguo's palace could talk about it outside.

"It seems true. I also heard that Mr. Dong's family was exiled to Mobei, but his daughter was missing. I don't know what went wrong in the process, so she was allowed to enter the Dingguo Duke's mansion as a servant. "Someone whispered.

"What a pity……"

An older lady shook her head. She didn't say everything she said, but unfortunately everyone understood everything.

If there hadn't been this thing in between, with Mr. Dong's current status, as his only daughter, and with such an outstanding appearance, there would definitely be many high-ranking families vying to come to ask for his hand in marriage.

But white jade has flaws, and anyone who wants to save face should hesitate. After all, no one wants their future daughter-in-law to work as a servant for someone else's family, and she may be criticized by others for the rest of her life.

Zhou was secretly happy as she listened to their discussion. Today's trip was not in vain.

Ever since she learned that Lu Siheng was interested in a girl from the Dong family, she spent money to find someone to find out, and she actually found out some secrets.

As long as the Dong family girl's reputation in Beijing is bad, she will have more reason to refuse to propose marriage to that evildoer. Even when she was in front of the Marquis, it could be said that she was doing it for the sake of the Marquis, and no one could find fault with her.

She just wouldn't let that villain get his way, so it didn't matter that he was the deputy commander of the expert department, his marriage was still in the hands of her aunt.

Cui Yaying's face darkened after hearing these words, and she quickly went to see Dong Jiafu. She was relieved to see her sitting there with an expression that was neither humble nor arrogant as usual.

Cui Yaying handed Brother Quan to Qingdai next to her and said, "Miss Dong was accidentally separated from her family. She was seriously ill and couldn't remember anything, so she couldn't help but come to Dingguo Palace. Mr. Dong is an honest official. , was maliciously framed. The Holy Emperor has issued an order to clear Mr. Dong’s innocence. I believe all the ladies have heard about it. What happened to Ms. Dong is really an accident. Please don’t speculate."

"Mrs. Shen, why should you be anxious? We didn't say anything more, it's just the facts." Mrs. Zhou said indifferently.

"Mrs. Lu Hou probably doesn't know the facts as well as I do."

The eldest lady, Princess Minghui, came in from the outside with a smile, followed by the Crown Princess of Kang Palace and the other three ladies of Duke Dingguo Palace, as well as Cui Yalan and Cui Yatong, as well as Qingyun County Lord Li Mizhen.

Everyone immediately stood up to greet them, "I have met the princess, the prince concubine, and the county lord."

"You are all here to attend my grandson's full moon ceremony. There is no need to be formal. Please take a seat." The eldest lady walked towards Cui Yaying.
