The people at the men's table were talking at once, and every word and sentence they spoke was like a sharp knife, ruthlessly stabbing into Zhao Yuting's heart.

It seemed as if her every move and every word was showing off her ignorance.

She felt so ashamed that her face turned red and she didn't even know what to do with her hands and feet.

At this time, the sister-in-law at the table next to her noticed that the atmosphere was not right, and she quickly said, "Oh! I didn't expect Jinhua to be so concerned about this family dinner that she could even find such a precious fish. This is the first time I've heard of such a fish! Today really opened my eyes, and I'm lucky enough to taste such a rare delicacy."

Xue Jinhua smiled and responded: "Sister-in-law, you are too kind. I just spend more time doing housework, and occasionally I hear some relevant knowledge. If you do housework more often, you will naturally learn this information!"

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, my sister-in-law, who was sitting at another table, hurried to smooth things over: "Okay, okay, everyone, stop chatting. The food is getting cold. Hurry up and eat! Don't let Jin Hua down!"

Xue Jinhua didn't care. Her mood was not affected at all and she even ate a lot.

Zhao Yuting wanted to embarrass Xue Jinhua, but she ended up making things worse. She was so angry that her heart ached. She couldn't hold it in any longer, so she didn't eat anymore, threw away her usual self-cultivation and reserve, and left the table angrily.

Seeing this scene, everyone was at a loss to say anything.

Finally, after the banquet, Zhao Yuxuan sent away the men among the guests, and Xue Jinhua sent away the women.

Xue Jinhua was just about to sit down and rest when Yinghua came in and reported, "Miss, the maidservant beside the old lady came to tell her that the old lady wants you to come over immediately."

Xue Jinhua sighed helplessly, a hint of displeasure flashed across her eyes, but she still replied, "I'll be there right away."

When she walked to Wang's door, she heard Zhao Yuting's angry complaint from inside the room: "Mom, I'm so angry! She must have targeted me on purpose, just to see me make a fool of myself, so she didn't tell me those things in advance and made me embarrassed at the banquet. If this matter gets out, how can I live with dignity in the future?"

Then, Zhao Yuting's coquettish voice came again: "It's fine at home, but there are so many guests at this banquet! Young Master Zhang, people from the Shangshu Mansion... are all here, I'm so embarrassed. Mother, I don't care, you must set rules for her and teach her a lesson, otherwise she will become more and more lawless in the future."

The maidservant beside Wang saw Xue Jinhua stop and was about to remind her when she heard a voice coming from the room.

She looked embarrassed and coughed lightly, and the voice inside stopped, "Madam, please come in!"

Xue Jinhua walked in and saw that Wang's face was very bad. "Xue Jinhua, what's wrong with you? Why didn't you inform Yu Ting in advance before the banquet? And you made such a big joke at the banquet?"

"Mother, you are right. I was not thoughtful enough to remind my younger sister of these things in advance." Xue Jinhua's voice was very steady and her attitude was very good. "But I didn't expect that my younger sister usually doesn't care much about these things. I don't know why she suddenly mentioned this at the banquet today. I was just about to tell my younger sister, but who knew that the words of the male guests at the table would ring out?"

"Oh, it's all my fault. I didn't think it through. I should have placed the women in our backyard. That way, even if my little sister said something, the men wouldn't be able to hear it."

When this matter was mentioned, Wang suddenly looked embarrassed.

At first, Xue Jinhua planned to hold the banquet for the female family members in the backyard, but Wang took it upon herself to hold the banquet next door.

At that time, Xue Jinhua didn't understand until later when she found out that Zhao Yuxuan had also hosted a banquet for other people.

Now, Zhao Yuting has passed the age of 15, but is still unmarried.

It’s not that no one came to propose marriage, but Zhao Yuting was proud and arrogant and looked down on ordinary people.

Originally at this banquet, Zhao Yuting wanted to attract Young Master Zhang's attention by provoking herself, but who could have expected that she would lose face instead.

Now that something like this has happened, people are blaming me for it. That’s impossible.

"You are talking nonsense. When did I say that I was afraid that the men would hear it? Stop talking nonsense and ruining my reputation." Zhao Yuting was anxious. She certainly didn't want outsiders to hear such little girl's thoughts.

Xue Jinhua pretended to be enlightened: "Oh, it's my fault. I misunderstood what I meant. I'm not afraid that the male guests will hear it. Then don't worry. The people at our table are all from the clan. I don't think they will say anything."

"If I'm still worried, I'll go door to door and tell those aunts and sisters-in-law to shut up and not ruin my reputation."

The fire in Zhao Yuting's heart was instantly ignited at this moment. Isn't this just a case of trying to cover up one's own faults?

Maybe there was nothing wrong in the first place, but when she came to my house and told me about it, did that mean I was admitting my ignorance? Wouldn't it be known to everyone then?

"Sister-in-law, don't go too far. Are you just jealous of me?"

Xue Jinhua looked very aggrieved. "Little sister, what are you talking about? How can you have such vicious thoughts? You are my little sister, I naturally hope you are well. I am doing this for your sake. What do you think I should do? This is not okay and that is not okay."

"You..." Zhao Yuting was so angry that she was speechless for a moment.

"Alright, don't be disrespectful. She is your sister-in-law after all. She didn't mean it. Let's leave it at that."

"Mom..., you..., how can you speak for her?" Zhao Yuting stomped her feet in anger, very angry.

"Alright, I said, this matter ends here! Do you have to make a big fuss about it and let everyone know about it?" Zhao Yuting shut up. Wang turned to Xue Jinhua and said, "After all, you are the eldest sister-in-law, so you also have a certain responsibility."

Xue Jinhua said nothing, while Wang said impatiently, "You go down first!"

Seeing Xue Jinhua leave, Zhao Yuting couldn't sit still anymore, "Mom, I'm your daughter, how can you side with an outsider?"

"You, you are too impatient. Your brother is just using the family dinner this time to test the Shangshu's attitude. Now he has loosened his stance, and he will just give him money. Now is the most critical time for your brother's promotion, so don't do anything weird at this time. As long as the matter is done, we won't need her in the future, so just be patient!"

After all, the money she was spending now was Xue Jinhua's dowry, and she didn't want to make Xue Jinhua unhappy at this time.

Zhao Yuting knew that what her mother said was true, but she was still very angry.

But think about it, as long as his brother gets promoted, his own status will also rise. What's the point of a young master Zhang? Maybe he can even marry a prince!

Xue Jinhua returned to her room not long after. Yinghua followed in a moment later, "Miss, don't worry, I have done as you asked, Prince Zhuang's Mansion is aware of this now."

Looking at the sunset outside the window, Xue Jinhua curled her lips. "You, Zhao Yuxuan, want to use the family dinner to get your promotion? Dream on!"
