After several banquet experiences, Yunling now understands everything.

While the men were fighting in the court, the women behind them were playing games in the backyard.

If it were her old self, she would have just taken a step back when faced with such a thing. What she pursued was making money through harmony. There was no point in arguing with such an unreasonable person.

But now, it is not okay to continue with this mentality.

Standing behind her was not only the Zhenxi Marquisate, but also the Tang family.

No matter whether Liu Shuyan wanted to provoke or was instructed by someone else, since she had opened her mouth, it was like a slap in the face, so she had to fight back.

No matter whether the people watching around are enemies or allies, behind every verbal confrontation is a test of oneself.

Test her bottom line of patience and also test whether she is weak and can be bullied.

The final result is the standard they will hold themselves to in the future.

That's why she held Xu Xiangxiang down and prevented her from speaking up for her.

She can't live under the high walls built by her elders all her life, she has to learn to face the wind and rain on her own.

Liu Shuyan was about to explode with anger.

It was true that she was just trying to show off her verbal skills, and Yun Ling's counterattack was just a few metaphorical and sarcastic remarks.

But unexpectedly, Tang Yunling did not play by the rules and went straight to the point of questioning her upbringing and humiliating her parents in public!

"Tang Yunling, how dare you talk to me like that? Do you know who my father is?"

"Ms. Liu, have you ever heard that good advice is unpleasant to the ear and good medicine is bitter? Now that you are asking me for advice, I will answer you truthfully without involving others."

As she spoke, Yun Ling raised her eyebrows, "Or are all the girls of the Liu family like you, unable to win with your quick words, so you resort to using your master's official title as a backup?"

"If this is the rule among the ladies in Ruidu, then I will just admit defeat."

"You, you are so eloquent, I didn't mean that!"

"Puchi." A lady nearby couldn't help laughing.

Others couldn't help but laugh secretly.

The eldest daughter of the Tang family is so straightforward and cute.

When Yun Ling saw that the person who laughed was Yue Jinhua, she nodded at her.

At this time, Liu Shuyan on the opposite side was extremely embarrassed. She didn't know that Tang Yunling was so eloquent, and for a moment she didn't know how to refute.

"Yan'er, sit down and stop making trouble."

Liu Shuyan's mother, Madam Liu, reached out and pulled her embarrassed daughter back, "My daughter is young and acted a little rashly. I'm sorry to have made you all laugh at me."

Madam Cui immediately smiled and tried to smooth things over, "Miss Liu Er is just at the age of innocence and naivety."

Xu Xiangxiang's beautiful eyes moved as she said coldly, "If I remember correctly, Miss Liu Er is two years older than my Ling'er. But judging by her conversation, she does seem quite young, haha."

Mrs. Liu choked.

She knew that her family was rude first, but the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had clearly asked for favors, but they were still being unreasonable. She was not a pushover.

According to her rank, she didn't dare to offend Xu Xiangxiang, but she was not afraid because Tang Yunling hadn't entered the Zhenxi Marquis' Mansion yet.

He immediately snorted coldly, "Whether it's a person or an object, noble or humble is determined by nature. How can we confuse birth because of a temporary need? Since Miss Tang asked for advice, as an elder, I will kindly advise Miss Tang that flowers do not last forever. As a human being, you should be more cautious and restrained."

Yun Ling smiled and nodded, "Thank you Madam Liu for your advice. As an elder, you have such awareness. The children you teach in the future should not be too bad."

"Miss Tang is really eloquent."

Xu Xiangxiang put down the wine cup in her hand and snorted, "It's better than being tongue-tied."

The situation was tense between the two sides, and Mrs. Cui felt extremely embarrassed.

He quickly stood up and raised his glass to everyone: "Thank you all for coming today. I toast to you all."

Everyone hurriedly picked up their wine glasses.

Finally, the awkward atmosphere was slightly relieved. Old Madam Cui continued, "The house of my Cui family is ordinary. Although it is a banquet, the flowers in the backyard are really not presentable..."

A familiar lady hurriedly said, "The flowers in your garden are indeed ordinary, but you have a famous Ruidude Treasure Tower in your garden!"

In the Cui family’s garden, there is a library filled with family collections handwritten by members of the Cui family. They are all rare and excellent books that cannot be found outside.

The Cui family also relied on these books to impress the powerful people in Ruidu.

When Madam Cui heard this, the wrinkles on her face also started to smile, "Okay, Ru'er, take the young ladies to the library for a look."

Then, she turned to the ladies and said, "Let the young people go and have a look. I have arranged a troupe of actors. How about you accompany me, an old woman, to watch the show?"

"Well, let's go to the theater. Even if you ask me to read a book, my old eyes won't agree."

"Oh, you sound like you were younger?"

"Yeah, everyone knows that when you were young, you didn't do the homework assigned by the teacher yourself, but only copied other people's homework. You didn't copy it properly, and you even copied your name. The teacher was puzzled as to why you handed in two homework assignments...hahaha."

There was a sudden burst of laughter in the room, and the embarrassment disappeared without a trace.

However, in the hearts of all the ladies, they already understood what kind of person the future wife of the Marquis of Zhenxi would be, and what attitude they should adopt if they were invited to a banquet again in the future.

Cui Wanru took the young ladies to the Cui family's garden.

It was indeed as the noble lady had joked, the Cui family's garden was not very big and there were no exotic flowers or plants.

But a small building shaped like a pagoda was built in the middle of the garden.

The small building has three floors, and each floor is filled with countless bookshelves, all of which are filled with books.

There are a few tables and chairs randomly placed in the middle for people to sit down and read.

"Sister Cui, there are so many books here. Have you been reading here since you were a child, but you have only read half of it?" someone exclaimed.

Cui Wanru smiled and shook her head. "In my spare time, I not only read books, but also like to paint, so I have only read one-tenth of what is here. But learning is endless, and life is long. I believe I will be able to finish it one day."

Then he said to the crowd, "Ladies, please take a look at it. If you find something you like, you can take it home and copy it. Then just return it after you're done."

The Dongrui Kingdom attached great importance to talent and learning, especially after Emperor Tai'an came to power, he paid great attention to the knowledge of talents, so many court officials developed the habit of reading widely.

Basically, most of the officials in the court had come to the Cui family to borrow books, and the female family members had also heard of them.

I heard that there are quite a few rare manuscripts in this building!

I didn't expect the Cui family to be so generous today.

The young ladies were delighted and went their separate ways to choose books.

Cui Wanru walked slowly to Yun Ling's side, "Sister Ling'er, is there anything you want to see?"
