After rebirth, I teamed up with the scumbag's mistress

After no more guests arrived, the old lady, Li Jianzhang and Liu Yuefu went to the longevity hall from the main gate. The Li family members divided into two lines. Li Jianye, the eldest son of the Li family, led the others to pay their respects and congratulated in unison: "Your sons wish mother a long life and eternal happiness." Li Chengxuan, the son of Li Jianwen, the second son of the Li family, jumped out from the crowd and said in a childish voice: "Ah Xuan wishes grandma to live to be a hundred years old!"

The old lady smiled from ear to ear and said, "Ah Xuan, come to Grandma."

Li Chengxuan skipped to the old lady, who hugged the child tightly and touched his head with a smile.

The old lady then said, "Everyone, please follow me to the flower hall to have a drink."

Everyone went to the flower hall together. The outside of the flower hall was decorated with red silk with various longevity characters embroidered on it. There were many pots of flowers in the flower hall, red, white, blue, purple and all kinds of colors, which were very beautiful. After everyone sat down in the flower hall, Li Jianzhang came forward and said, "Thank you all for coming to my mother's birthday banquet. I am honored. Your arrival makes my humble home glorious."

After that, the maids filed in, holding trays with pomelo leaves, hot water, and towels. After washing their hands, the maids left the hall one by one.

Soon after, several maids came and poured wine for the host and the guests in turn.

Everyone started eating. The table was full of delicacies such as Baiwei Yuntang, Dongpo Pork, Orange Stuffed Crab, and Roasted Bones, but there was only a bowl of longevity noodles in front of the old lady. During the meal, Li Jianzhang raised his glass and toasted the fifth prince Liang Jiuan, who was the most noble among the people present. Li Jianzhang then toasted several colleagues and wished them well. Everyone toasted and exchanged glasses, and it was very lively.

Soon the banquet came to an end, and everyone began to wish the old lady a happy birthday and present them with the gifts they had prepared.

After the ceremony, the old lady said in a gentle voice: "Thank you all for coming to my birthday banquet. Men can follow my son to the front yard to drink tea and listen to music, and women can follow me to the back yard to listen to opera."

All the ladies followed the old lady to the backyard garden, but strangely, they didn't see any opera troupe. The old lady sent someone to call Wu Ximei over. Wu Ximei, who was taking care of things in the kitchen, hurried over and said, "Mother, why did you call me here so urgently?"

"My dear sister, didn't we agree to arrange for a troupe to perform? Where is the troupe?" the old lady asked.

Wu Ximei looked at the stage and thought: Oh no! Why hasn't the troupe arrived yet? !

This birthday banquet was held in a hurry. A good opera troupe usually needs to be invited a long time in advance, and a better one needs to be invited at least half a month in advance. But this time, when she was given the task, she only had one week.

She contacted many opera troupes, but none of them had time to perform. Helplessly, she finally had to find an unknown opera troupe from another place, which she happened to meet while shopping. She thought she was very lucky to be able to invite an opera troupe at a much lower price than usual, otherwise she would have to bear the pain of spending a high price to find someone with connections to invite the opera troupe to make some time for herself.

Who would have thought that I would be cheated and I had given the money to a liar? What should I do? !

Wu Ximei looked at the situation and didn't understand anything. Her face turned pale and she whispered to the old lady, "I'm afraid this troupe won't come."

The old lady's face was icy, and she scolded coldly: "Is this how you do things?! You are really my good daughter-in-law."

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing why.

Wu Ximei knelt down, bowed her head and admitted her fault: "It's all my fault. I hope mother won't get angry and hurt herself."

Liu Yuefu felt happy when she saw Wu Ximei's frustrated look. She really shot herself in the foot. Wu Ximei originally wanted to give Liu Yuefu a week to host the birthday banquet, but Liu Yuefu refused to do so. This time, Wu Ximei had to take charge of the event, and she was really miserable.

In a trance, Liu Yuefu's mind flashed back to the scene in her previous life where Wu Ximei arrogantly threatened her.

"You rotten-hearted, vicious woman, are you really going to watch your eldest brother die?"

In my previous life, I treated them wholeheartedly, but they spoke ill of me and only knew how to morally blackmail me.

The old lady didn't care about Wu Ximei's face at all and humiliated her in public. After this incident, Wu Ximei's reputation in the outside world would probably plummet. People would definitely say that she was disrespectful to her mother-in-law and not good at housework.

Liu Yuefu shook her head and let them deal with the rest of the matter. She was afraid of getting into trouble if she stayed here, so she quietly left the garden and walked towards the back garden.

Liu Yuefu sighed inwardly. In her previous life, she was the one who organized the banquet. She had spent a lot of effort to invite the opera troupe from outside Beijing at a high price by using the Liu family's connections. She spent money and effort, but she didn't get a single good word in return. Why did she bother?

Is it because you are in the situation and can't see through it? Or do you simply not want to see through it?

It was not until I saw the bloody reality and could no longer deceive myself that I learned to accept it slowly...?

When Liu's mother saw Liu Yuefu leaving the garden, she hurried to follow her and said, "Liu Er Niang, wait for me."

When Liu Yuefu heard her mother's voice, she slowed down her pace and stopped waiting.

Not long after, Liu's mother caught up.

The two of them walked towards the back garden together, and just as they entered the garden, they saw Kang Miaoqing coming towards them.

She walked forward with a smile on her face and said, "Aunt, Sister Yuefu, are you guys here to visit the garden too?"

Mother Liu smiled and said, "Miaoqing is here too, what a coincidence. We can enjoy the flowers together."

Kang Miaoqing smiled and nodded, saying, "How can I not obey what my aunt said?"

Mother Liu smiled and tapped Kang Miaoqing's forehead, saying, "You are the only one who has a sweet mouth. Your little mouth is always as sweet as honey."

Kang Miaoqing said coquettishly to Liu's mother: "No, if there is, it's because my aunt taught me well."

Not long after the three of them had been traveling together, Kang Miaoqing whispered to Liu's mother in a coy voice, "Aunt, I'm not feeling well. I want to go back and rest for a while."

Mother Liu looked at her worriedly and said, "Good girl, why don't you ask a doctor to come and take a look? Let's go back first."

Kang Miaoqing shook her head gently and said, "Aunt, I just need to take a rest. It's okay."

Seeing that she was insisting, Liu's mother said, "Go and have a rest. If you can't hold on any longer, send someone to tell your aunt, and she will accompany you home."

Then he instructed Kang Miaoqing's maid Songxue, "Take good care of Miaoqing, and come to me if you have any problems."

Songxue quickly agreed and left with Kang Miaoqing.

Seeing Kang Miaoqing leaving in a hurry, Liu Yuefu's heart sank. Could something have happened to her that made her so hurried?

Liu Yuefu then said to her mother, "Mother, I'm a little worried about Miaoqing. I'll go see her and come back to enjoy the flowers with you later, okay?"

Mother Liu smiled and said, "Okay, okay, my Yue Fu is the most sensible."

Seeing that Kang Miaoqing was about to disappear from sight, Liu Yuefu and her maid Qiu Tong hurriedly followed her. They followed Kang Miaoqing around in circles and lost her. Liu Yuefu and Qiu Tong walked casually until they came to a place where rosemary was in full bloom. A large area of ​​purple flowers mixed with green branches and leaves, dancing in the wind, like a small sea of ​​flowers, beautiful beyond words.

Liu Yuefu thought to herself that there was such a beautiful place in the back garden, but it was too remote and she had never been there. It is said that rosemary symbolizes loyal love and precious friendship.

Following the rosemary bushes, you will come to a rockery landscape. This place is in a very remote corner of the back garden and usually no one comes here.

With the trees and rockery blocking the view, Liu Yuefu saw that on the corridor not far away, a man in purple and a woman in purple were standing very close to each other. The man on the corridor was saying something, and the woman was laughing.

A single man and a single woman met someone to have a secret meeting.

Men are not allowed to enter the backyard, except the owner Li Jianzhang.

If that woman isn't Kang Miaoqing, then who else could it be?

Such a remote place, obviously they had made an appointment long ago. I didn't expect them to start so early.

Liu Yuefu looked at the rosemary all over the ground and felt it was ironic.
