The character design of the Flower of the High Ridge has collapsed

Chapter 41 Vicious Frame
The matter of fugitives was over. After the poinsettia lobbied, Emperor Wen of Zhou didn't go into the matter.

Under the urging of Mrs. Shen, Jiang Youzhi also returned to Pei's residence.

However, because Pei Yuzhi helped Liang Yifei report Jiang Youzhi before, she was lectured by Pei Xunhao, and now she has even more grudges against Jiang Youzhi.

The weather is getting warmer and warmer, and everyone in Pei's house is busy. The reason is that Mrs. Pei's birthday is coming up.

The night before the birthday banquet, Pei Yuzhi brought a lot of jewelry to see Pei Yuyun, and Pei Yuyun was also very greedy, so he followed Pei Yuzhi's advice after a few moments.

Pei Yuzhi said sadly: "I see, the second brother has already been bewitched by that Jiang Youzhi. If she is really allowed to enter the mansion, we will have no good results in the future."

Pei Yuyun has always held a grudge because of Dao Yuanjie: "Yes, we must not let her be too arrogant! How can we drive her out?"

Pei Yuzhi smiled slightly, leaned closer to Pei Yuyun, and whispered something to her.

After hearing this, Pei Yuyun thought for a while with heavy eyebrows, and hesitated: "But..."

Pei Yuzhi lowered her voice and said, "Sister, don't forget how she hurt you."

After hearing this, Pei Yuyun nodded, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

……

On the day of the birthday banquet, the mansion was full of guests and friends, all civil and military officials and dignitaries arrived.

In the dining room, two little maids sneaked together and looked around, but no one was around. One of them picked up a teacup and wiped the inside of the cup a few times.

"Sister Suho, we won't be discovered."

The maid called Su Ho lowered her voice: "As long as you keep your mouth shut, no one will notice. Also, you must put the teacup on Jiang Youzhi's seat later."

Another maid, Qinglian, said with some fear, "But..."

But was interrupted by Su Ho: "Don't do it! If it goes wrong, Miss San will not spare us."

Qiu Ye, who happened to pass by the door and came to put things, heard this, and the bowl in his hand fell to the ground in vain.

This surprised Su Ho in the dining room, she went over and pulled Qiu Ye in, and said viciously: "What did you hear!"

Qiu Ye stammered: "I...I...I didn't hear anything..."

Su Ho stared with vicious eyes: "If you still want to continue working in Sanjie's courtyard in peace, don't worry about it. I chewed up this matter today, you hear me!"

With tears in her eyes, Qiu Ye nodded in fear.

After repeated assurances from her, she left the dining room, but in her mind, she was not only deducted a month's wages by the third lady for knocking over the teacup that day, but also received a severe beating.

Because her mother was sick and needed money urgently, she hid in the corner of the garden and cried alone. Miss Jiang saw it, comforted her, and gave herself a sum of money, which saved her mother.

For a moment, she didn't know what to do.

After Jiang Youzhi tidied herself up, she was about to go out, but suddenly she heard the sound of "bang bang bang" knocking on the window.

As soon as she opened it, she saw Qiuye with tears all over her face, and asked with concern: "Qiuye, what's wrong with you?"

Qiu Ye waved her hand to let Jiang Youzhi get closer to her, then told her what she saw in the dining room just now, and then ran away without looking back.

The birthday banquet was about to officially begin, and a group of little maids were walking on the corridor with a cup of tea each.

Mi'er shouted at them from a distance: "Hey, the people who carried the plaques have gone somewhere, Mammy Liu said to find some people, come quickly!"

The maid looked at each other, and Mi'er urged: "Don't be in a hurry for tea, the guests have not all come, come here first, it's too late to enter the plaque, but it's a big taboo!"

As soon as the maids heard this, they immediately put the tea on both sides, and all ran to the west, but Qinglian thought about it for a while, put the tea in the corner and went too.

Mi'er hurriedly walked up the corridor, and first replaced the teacup in her hand with the cup of tea that Qinglian put down.

Because the Pei family has many rules, the teacups of the sons and daughters are different in color and appearance, so she followed the method taught by her own girl and wiped the third lady's teacup several times with her fingers.

A few quarters of an hour later, the group of maids came back, picked up their teacups, and headed towards the main hall.

The birthday banquet has begun, and everyone is celebrating Mrs. Pei's birthday one by one.

However, Jiang Youzhi felt the two fiery gazes.

One was from Pei Yuyun, and the other was from Crown Prince Chu Zan. Of course, Pei Yuyun hoped that he would drink tea quickly, so that would satisfy her.

Jiang Youzhi took a sip of tea slowly, so you should feel relieved.

She didn't intend to raise her eyes, and met Chu Zan's gaze. This scene happened to be seen by Pei Yuzhi, and her expression was not very good.

Seeing her about to explode, Jiang Youzhi suddenly had an idea in his mind, and a smile inadvertently overflowed from the corner of his mouth, but he didn't know that this smile made Chu Zan feel physically and mentally weak.

When the birthday celebration was over, everyone went to the garden to watch the opera, but Pei Yuyun felt dizzy and still very hot. She wanted to call Su Ho, but found that the girl had gone somewhere.

Then he muttered: "Damn girl, and lazy, see if I don't beat you to death when I go back!"

Suddenly a maid appeared behind her, and she said to Pei Yuyun, "Miss San, Madam, please come over."

Pei Yuyun was helped out of the garden in a daze like this.

Jiang Youzhi was idle in the garden at the moment, listening to the footsteps behind her, a cunning flashed in her eyes.

Chu Zan said respectfully, "I was in such a hurry that day that I forgot to ask the girl's name."

Jiang Youzhi turned his head and saluted respectfully: "See His Royal Highness, little girl Jiang Youzhi."

Chu Zan hastily stretched out his hand to help her up, and never took his eyes off her: "So it's Miss Jiang."

Jiang Youzhi suddenly covered her face, and coughed delicately. Chu Zan looked at it and said anxiously, "Get some tea for the girl to moisten your throat."

Chu Zan carefully handed the tea to her. Jiang Youzhi smiled shyly and was about to take it, but his hands were unsteady, and the whole cup of tea spilled on Chu Zan's sleeve.

Jiang Youzhi was shocked and said: "His Royal Highness, you are too reckless, your sleeves are soaked, what should I do?"

Chu Zan couldn't care less about whether his sleeves were wet or not. Seeing the beauty's anxious weeping look, his heart was about to be crushed, so he comforted him, "It's fine, it doesn't matter."

Jiang Youzhi raised her eyes slightly, the autumn water in her apricot eyes was rippling, the corners of her eyes were reddish, and there was a trace of grievance: "But..."

How could Chu Zan bear this: "Then I'll go and change into clean regular clothes, is that okay?"

Jiang Youzhi nodded, then called the maid beside her, and when Chu Zan left, she turned around triumphantly.

But he met Pei Xun's eyes not far away, and for some reason felt guilty and caught.

But Pei Xun just cast a cold glance and stopped looking at her.
