Lin Wan looked at Dong Yue, then at Dong Qiang. Based on their appearance alone, she couldn't imagine that they were father and daughter.

It's not that Dong Yue is so stunningly beautiful. If you really count, Lin Wan's appearance is better than hers. But when she stands in front of you, her gentle and gentle feeling makes her appearance even better.

"This must be Miss Dong, right? She is indeed beautiful and has a good temperament!" Lin Wan greeted her with a smile.

"You're too polite, Madam. My given name is Yue, so you can just call me Yue'er." Dong Yue smiled shyly and lowered her head slightly.

Lu Tingxu was stunned again for a moment.

"Young Madam, you are too kind. We were both born in poor families. How can we deserve your praise?" Dong Qiang laughed twice.

Lin Wan withdrew her gaze and saw Dong Qiang's honest smile. She felt moved again that such a rough man could have such a delicate daughter.

"Prince, the banquet is ready. You and Master Dong can go first." Lin Wan looked at the stunned Lu Tingxu and frowned slightly.

"Oh, OK. I'll go over then." Lu Tingxu came back to his senses and saw Dong Yue lowering her head with a blushing face. He said a little embarrassedly, "Then I'll trouble you with sister Yue'er. She's new here, please take care of her."

When Lin Wan heard him addressing Dong Yue, her heart skipped a beat. She looked at Dong Yue again, and when she heard Lu Tingxu's words, she slightly raised her head and smiled at him. Her face flushed, but her eyes were looking at him affectionately.

A smile unconsciously appeared on Lu Tingxu's face.

"Don't worry, Prince!"

After the two of them left the yard, Lin Wan smiled and invited Dong Yue into the house.

But I no longer have the simple good impression of her that I had when we first met. Instead, I feel a little more tentative?

If she noticed correctly, Lu Tingxu had some feelings for Dong Yue. She didn't know whether the "Yue'er" he called was referring to the one in front of him or the one in his heart.

What about Dong Yue? Did she notice Lu Tingxu's misbehavior? Did she have the same thoughts?

"I don't know what Yue'er likes to eat, so I just prepared some randomly. You just have to make do with it for now, and after dinner, just tell Qinglian what you are not eating and what you like." Lin Wan said politely with a smile.

Dong Yue smiled and looked at the dishes on the table, and said gratefully, "I'm not picky, Sister Wan, these are already very good."

Lin Wan looked at her and saw that she had changed the way she addressed herself, raised her eyebrows slightly and smiled.

This Miss Dong is a very casual person, but I don't know if she is really innocent or just trying to get close to me.

During the meal, Lin Wan was very polite, but Dong Yue was very familiar with her and started to call her sister. She also asked about the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion in a roundabout way. Lin Wan replied half-truthfully and felt a little distant from her.

It was just that because of the relationship between Lu Tingxu and Dong Qiang, she had already agreed to teach Dong Yue some things about being a housekeeper, so she didn't show it.

After dinner, Lin Wan asked Qingping to take Dong Yue to the guest room to rest.

She arranged a small courtyard for Dong Yue to stay temporarily next to her own courtyard, and assigned a maid to serve her. She treated her like a proper guest, leaving no room for Lu Tingxu to complain.

Qingping sent Dong Yue back with a smile, and after coming back she ran to Lin Wan to complain.

"Madam, this Miss Dong is too familiar. She called me sister the moment we met!"

"This is just politeness, just listen to it."

"I know, but it feels weird. Just now on the way, she asked me how many masters and concubines there were in the mansion. She said she was afraid that she didn't know clearly and would offend someone and cause trouble for the prince."

Qinglian, who happened to be carrying tea and snacks, heard this and asked in surprise, "Causing trouble to the prince? Isn't it causing trouble to the young lady?"

"Who knows!" Qing Ping curled her lips. "I only said there were two concubines, but I didn't say anything else. Who knows what she was thinking?"

"Okay, Qingping did a good job." Lin Wan praised with a smile.

Seeing that the two of them were busy with their own things, Lin Wan took a sip of tea and began to think slowly in her heart.

On the other side, Lu Tingxu and Dong Qiang arrived at the banquet hall. Soon the table was served. Everyone ate and drank, chatting loudly about some interesting things that happened during their daily work. Both the host and the guests had a great time.

At this time in Yurongxuan, Yanliu also heard about Lu Tingxu's banquet today, and a little maid said that she saw the prince taking a woman to Xuanli Pavilion, and the young lady also arranged a courtyard.

"Woman? What woman?"

"The servants in the garden said it was a young lady, the prince, who took good care of her."

Nonsense, everyone saw Lu Tingxu's loss of composure when facing Dong Yue, and they all started to gather together privately to speculate about Dong Yue's identity.

But Lin Wan specially arranged a courtyard for her, and it was obvious that she was going to live in the mansion, and she also sent a maid as a dowry. No matter how you look at it, she is not an ordinary woman!

"What about the prince?"

"I am entertaining guests in the banquet hall. Many of the prince's colleagues are coming to eat today."

Hearing that a lot of people were coming, Yan Liu's expression relaxed a little. Maybe they were the women of some family, so they were sent to Lin Wan.

"Didn't the young lady come out to entertain the guests?"

Qiuyue was stunned by the question, "Today, the banquet hall is full of male guests. The young lady is a female guest, so she will definitely not show up. The prince is accompanying us!"

"How feudal!" Yan Liu sneered. She was indeed a feudal woman. She didn't consider Lu Tingxu at all. If the hostess didn't show up at such a banquet, wouldn't she be neglecting the guests!

"Let's go to the banquet hall to help the prince entertain!"

After Yan Liu finished speaking, she stood up and walked out.

Qiuyue was startled by her, "My dear girl, please don't mess around! This is against the rules!"

"Rules, rules, you only know how to talk about rules. I used to eat with Lu Tingxu's friends often, and I was always happy!"

After saying that, he ignored her and walked away on his own.

Qiuyue was extremely anxious but couldn't stop her, so she could only accompany her.

At this time, three rounds of drinks had already been served in the banquet room.

Lu Tingxu enjoyed this meal very much. In the past, when he had meals and drinks with friends, they would always talk about dirty jokes, but today's meal was completely different.

Those who came today were all people with positions in the Jinwu Guard. Lu Tingxu was the most senior among them. Now they were gathered together, eating and drinking and talking about daily official business. More importantly, he could build relationships so that he could get better support from everyone when he was on duty in the future, which would facilitate his promotion and work in the future.

Lu Tingxu was very satisfied with today's banquet. He was a little concerned about Dong Yue's situation with Lin Wan, but Lin Wan was always courteous in doing things, so he thought of going over to check on her later.

Whenever he saw Dong Yue and heard her voice, Lu Tingxu felt as if a hidden corner of his heart was touched, making him want to see her more and listen to her talk more.

After taking a sip of wine and suppressing his thoughts, Lu Tingxu greeted with a smile, "Everyone, eat and drink well, enjoy everything, don't be polite to me!"

"Good! Brother Lu is generous!"

Everyone started to toast Lu Tingxu.

"We are all friends. There are plenty of good wine and delicious food in the Marquis' Mansion. Let's drink as much as we want!" A female voice came from the door of the banquet room.
