Chapter 38
On the day of the Qi family banquet, the weather was exceptionally sunny.

The autumn is crisp and sunny, and it is really a good day for a family banquet.

On the side of the Liang family, the old lady brought Liang Wansu and Lin Yuru to the banquet.

Due to the fact that the British government proposed marriage to the Minister's House, the Liang family attached great importance to this banquet. The day before the banquet, they arranged for Mrs. Li to bring four girls from the family to meet.

Unexpectedly, early in the morning on the day of the banquet, news came from Mrs. Li's natal family, saying that Mrs. Li had been feeling unwell since she woke up this morning.Because Mrs. Li was worried, she greeted the old lady, and took Liang Yunxi back to Li's residence.

Liang Hanyue also caught a cold the night before the banquet, and started to have a fever the next morning. Wang felt sorry for her daughter and wanted to take care of her by her side.

As a result, the old lady had to go out in person and take Liang Wansu and Lin Yuru to the British government.

The Royal Palace of the United Kingdom is located in Wuyi Lane, North Street of the capital. The people of this generation are all well-known dignitaries in the capital, and the courtyards of each family are magnificent and extremely luxurious.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the British residence, Liang Wansu and Lin Yuru helped the old lady get out of the carriage.

You can see the majestic vermilion gate of the Duke's Mansion, with two lifelike stone lions standing on both sides, adding a bit of majesty to the mansion of the general's family.

Entering the mansion, the eyes are full of wealth and honor.

The majestic and majestic buildings and the details of carved beams and painted columns all show the grandeur of this mansion.

In addition, everywhere in this mansion, there are rare and precious trees, lush flowers and plants, bustling pavilions, and exquisite pavilions.

Lin Yuru was dazzled by the sight and longed for it, until the old lady coughed several times before she looked away.

Under the leadership of the servants, the three old ladies walked around the front hall, walked through the veranda, and finally came to the flower hall of the British government.

Mrs. Qi, the mother of the Duke of England, apparently did not expect that Mrs. Liang would bring the two girls in person.

So as soon as she came in, Mrs. Qi, who was still sitting upright, got up to greet her in person.

Back then, the old man of the Liang family was the grandfather of Wan Su, who was a prime minister who was deeply respected by the late emperor. Unfortunately, his health was not strong, but he died of illness when he was just over 40 years old.

However, Mrs. Liang's character and achievements are praised by the world, so even if Mrs. Liang is gone now, Mrs. Liang is still deeply respected by the female relatives in Beijing.

"Old sister, long time no see! I was worried that you would not come, so I just arranged for a junior in the family to come over! I never thought that you would come in person. This will make our Duke's Mansion flourish! " Mrs. Qi said.

"Old sister, look at what you said, your family's move to a new house is such a big event, how can I not come to rejoice! At least you don't think I'm a troublesome old guy." The old lady said.

The two old ladies came and went like this, complimenting each other.

Outsiders didn't know how deep their friendship was, but in fact, if the two really talked about it, they only met occasionally at some banquets and exchanged a few pleasantries.

The sun was rising and the people who came to the banquet began to enter the mansion one after another, and the courtyard became more and more lively.

Lin Yuru obviously often attended such banquets, and soon found a few daughters she was familiar with. She looked coldly at the lonely Wansu, her eyes full of sarcasm.

"Ah! Second Cousin, so many wealthy daughters have no one to talk to you? I have never been excluded, but it must be the feeling of being isolated! The few of us don't dislike you, why don't you Being a follower by our side is better than standing here alone!" Lin Yuru's tone was full of yin and yang, and she couldn't help laughing after she finished speaking, full of malicious intentions.

Wan Su didn't care about this at all, she just smiled lightly and didn't argue with her, then walked leisurely to a comfortable place and sat down.

A school of flowing clouds and flowing water, dignified and generous, like a peony blooming alone, even without the surrounding of flowers, it can still be beautiful alone.

"Your cousin has an extraordinary temperament!" A lady who was with Lin Yuru exclaimed.

Lin Yuru was not happy when she heard this, but she couldn't directly say Wansu was bad, so she echoed: "Isn't it, my second cousin has a good temperament, and if she said that she was scheming, it was someone else. It's incomparable!"

Lin Yuru's eyes moved cleverly, obviously pointing to something.

These words quickly aroused the gossip of those daughters, and they hurriedly asked her what was going on.

Lin Yuru said reluctantly: "This was originally a family matter, and I shouldn't talk nonsense. Since you asked, I will talk about it. My second cousin, she was originally recuperating in the countryside, and now it's only a matter of returning home Two months. As soon as she entered the mansion, she satirized me as a borrowed uncle's house and slandered me for bullying her. As a result, my grandmother put me in confinement, and she took this opportunity to replace me and win the favor of my grandmother. A few days ago, the third cousin in our family offended her for some unknown reason. She actually framed up that my third cousin had harmed her. In the end, my grandmother was furious and imprisoned the third cousin in Zhuangzi. Coincidentally, within a few days she replaced the third cousin. My cousin and some other sisters in my family went to Baiyun Temple to offer incense, and met the Crown Princess, who fell in love with her very much, and she actually admired her. Now he is the most respectable young lady in our Shangshu Mansion!"

As Lin Yuru said, there was jealousy in her tone that she hadn't even noticed.

"In this way, you cousins ​​are really not simple. In order to climb up, you have planned so carefully step by step, and even killed your sisters for your own selfishness. You are really vicious!" The ladies on the side all echoed.

"It's just that she is also the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion's heirloom, and she won't marry too badly just by virtue of her status, so that's not the case!" A daughter asked puzzled.

At this time, the other daughter seemed to have thought of something and asked: "I heard that the British government proposed marriage to your daughter a few days ago. Could it be this second young lady?"

Lin Yuru sighed in embarrassment, as if she was suffering, but in the eyes of others, she acquiesced.

"No wonder she climbed up so step by step. This is because she feels that a girl who grew up in the country is not good enough for the young father-in-law. She is afraid of being divorced! It's something that a vulgar woman would do!"

All the daughters spoke to each other, making Wan Su extremely unbearable. Lin Yuru felt complacent when she heard everyone's belittling of Wan Su.

These people talked more and more vigorously, and from time to time, they would look at Wan Su with contempt or ridicule.

Even if she couldn't hear their conversation clearly, Wan Su couldn't ignore the strong malice.

Fortunately, Liang Wansu in her previous life was a genius with a super high IQ. It was common for her to be slandered and envied by others, and she never minded it.

But Caixiang next to her couldn't bear others' slander against Wansu, her beautiful willow eyebrows were almost raised to the sky.

"They are really too much, just hearing Miss Biao's one-sided words and wronging you so much."

Wan Su smiled: "It doesn't matter, you are not afraid of the shadow slanting when you are upright. Don't ruin your good mood just because of this insignificant judgment. It's not worth it. If you are upset, accompany me to the garden far away let's go!"
