Reborn to be married, the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion is so sweet
Chapter 88 Banquet
Everyone looked up and saw a woman in a loose dress walking in, followed by many servants and maids carrying jars of wine and dishes.
It is the willows in the smoke.
Yan Liu straightened her waist, with a smile on her face, looking dignified and enthusiastic. She led a group of servants and walked to Lu Tingxu with a smile.
Everyone was still in a daze, but she had already raised her hand to have the servants put the wine and food on the table. She smiled like a hostess and said, "I'm pregnant, so it's not convenient for me to drink. I'll serve tea to you all."
Yan Liu felt that her current performance was simply excellent. This was the kind of help that Lu Tingxu needed in the inner house, not a woman like Lin Wan who only knew how to follow all kinds of old-fashioned rules and stayed in the inner house and refused to come out.
Lu Tingxu will definitely be happy!
In order to show off like this, she even used the money Lin Wan gave her to ask the kitchen to arrange for these drinks and bring them along. What she wanted was the momentum when she entered the door, so that everyone would know how good she was at entertaining guests!
Yan Liu drank a cup of tea with a smile on her face, then turned the empty cup upside down to gesture to everyone as she did when drinking wine before.
But she was only concerned with her own performance and didn't notice that Lu Tingxu's expression changed and became cold as soon as he saw her appear.
Everyone finally came back to their senses from their daze. They had never seen Lin Wan before, they only knew that Lu Tingxu was married. Now seeing Yan Liu coming out openly to entertain the guests, they thought she was Lu Tingxu's wife.
"This is my sister-in-law, right?"
"Sister-in-law is so generous! Come on, let's drink this glass of wine!"
Listening to the calls of "sister-in-law" one after another, Yan Liu's heart felt like blooming and she couldn't suppress the smile on her face.
She did not explain her identity, and continued to smile with dignity: "You are all so generous, worthy of being men. Thank you for taking care of Tingxu in the Duwei Mansion on weekdays. You must have a good time today, and don't be restrained!"
She greeted him warmly, acting like the mistress of the house.
Everyone laughed and praised her, and Yan Liu couldn't help feeling a little elated.
Lu Tingxu looked at this with a cold face. When he saw that everyone started drinking and eating again, he stood up and pulled Yan Liu aside, "Why are you here? This is not the place for you!"
"I'm here to help you entertain the guests! Didn't you always like to take me with you to meet friends? They are all your friends, so I should come and get to know them!"
Yan Liu looked like she was saying, "I'm doing this for your own good," and Lu Tingxu was choked by her self-righteous tone.
"Brother Lu, my sister-in-law is devoted to you, don't be so stingy!"
"That's right, we are all brothers, let's toast to my sister-in-law!"
"My sister-in-law is pregnant, Brother Lu is so happy! I congratulate Brother Lu on the birth of a baby boy!"
Everyone laughed and joined in the fun.
Yan Liu was very excited when she heard these compliments and praises. Yes, that's right, she deserved to be praised and admired like this.
Lu Tingxu's face became darker and darker, and he felt an indescribable sense of embarrassment and awkwardness in his heart.
He once competed with others in the brothel to spend money to snatch Yan Liu, and even wanted everyone to know that such a wonderful woman belonged to him. He proudly took Yan Liu to meet all his friends, and liked the unique remarks she made in front of others, which surprised and praised everyone. Even though she was of low status and behaved casually, he felt very proud.
But later, after the failure of opening a shop, he wanted to hide her from others and didn't want her to say those unusual things.
He seemed not to like it so much.
Later, when he found out she was pregnant, the joy of having a child made him start caring about her again, but the feelings in his heart seemed no longer the same as before.
And now, she was standing here fine, and there was nothing wrong with what she said, but he still felt unhappy.
Moreover, those sitting here were all his colleagues at work, not his former drinking buddies. Why would a woman like her come out to get involved?
As the legitimate wife and mistress of the mansion, he asked her to host the banquet, but Lin Wan did not show up, letting him take the spotlight. Why can't Yan Liu learn to be sensible?
At this time, Dong Qiang, who had just come in from outside, saw Yan Liu and stood at the door in a daze.
"Boss, why are you standing there? Come in quickly. This is Brother Lu's wife."
"Old Dong, you are Brother Lu's master, so my sister-in-law should also call you master."
Everyone greeted him one after another. Yan Liu looked over at him when she heard what everyone was saying. When she saw that Dong Qiang was dressed in ordinary clothes, she frowned with some disgust.
What kind of master? How can such a person be qualified to be the master of the son of a marquis's mansion!
Dong Qiang faced her disgusted look and said blankly: "Ah? What, what Madam? She is not Tingxu's wife!"
"what?"
"I've already seen Tingxu's wife before I came in just now, and she doesn't look like her!"
Hearing this, everyone in the room was stunned and turned to look at Yan Liu.
If it wasn't the young lady of the Marquis's Mansion, then who was it? She responded when they called her sister-in-law just now! Moreover, she was pregnant, so... then she was Lu Tingxu's concubine?
Everyone's eyes looking at Yan Liu changed instantly. It was no longer the respect they had just shown, but instead turned into disgust.
Isn't this the kind of restless concubine in the back house who wants to use the fact that she is pregnant to provoke the mistress?
"What nonsense are you talking about! How dare you speak nonsense in the Marquis' Mansion regardless of your status." Seeing that everyone's attitude towards her had changed, Yan Liu took out her anger on Dong Qiang.
As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Tingxu pulled her into the cubicle with a dark face.
"She is really not Brother Lu's wife? But what she did just now..."
"Boss, are you really sure?"
Dong Qiang nodded seriously, "It's true, I just sent my daughter to the Madam, and the Madam even talked to me!"
At this time, a person who also had some background thought about it, "That concubine actually came out to pretend to be the main wife. What Brother Lu did was a bit unkind!"
Everyone nodded secretly. Originally, Lu Tingxu was of high birth, easy to get along with, and serious about his work. Everyone liked him and secretly regarded him as the leader. But now, some people doubted whether he was the kind of person who favored his concubines and killed his wife.
"Don't make random guesses. Tingxu is not that kind of person. It's probably that concubine who is restless!" Dong Qiang spoke up to help Lu Tingxu.
"Old Dong, you don't know, those wealthy families have a lot of chaos in their inner houses! They have three wives and four concubines, tsk tsk tsk tsk ..."
"Ah, I've heard something before. Brother Lu once spent 12,000 taels of silver to buy a girl from a brothel. He doted on her. Could it be the one just now?"
"I guess so. That's what I said. The daughter of a respectable family came here even though she knew we were all grown men. It turns out she came from a brothel."
"Have you heard about the incident at the clothing store a while ago? It is said that this girl had a lot of fun. No wonder Brother Lu was so obsessed with her!"
"Enough!" Dong Qiang saw that everyone was getting more and more outrageous, so he shouted. "You are a guest in someone's home, you are treated to delicious food and drinks, and you still gossip about them like this, is that decent?"
Seeing him lose his temper, everyone looked at each other and then shut up silently.
"No more talking, drink!"
"Yes, let's drink. This is the best wine in the mansion. Let's drink a few more glasses!"
Everyone laughed it off and stopped talking. But in their hearts, they couldn't help but recall the appearance and figure of Yan Liu that they had just seen, and secretly complained about it.
