Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 31
Today is the flower viewing feast, in the back garden of the Bai family.

When Ji Wuyan came, many carriages had already parked in front of Bai's house. Most of the coachmen were familiar with each other, and they were chatting together in twos and threes.

Ji Wuyan handed over the post, and the nanny bent down to welcome him into the mansion, and looked back at Ji Wuyan as she walked, thinking to herself, Fengchenju... I have also sent the post before, but people have only been evading it and saying it was just now. There are a lot of trivial things to come to the imperial capital, and later I heard that the invitations from all the government offices have been rejected, so the old lady knew that the aunt in charge is not meddlesome.

It's just that this post is still posted every time. What the old lady means is that this is their affection and attitude.

Unexpectedly, there were three of them this time, and one of them... looked familiar.Looking at the girl in the veil again, the eyebrows and eyes are quite amazing. She claims to be Wuyan, and she presumably is the one who is said to have invited her back with a lot of money.

He became more polite now.

It's summer, and the back garden is full of flowers. The girls' clothes are more colorful and delicate than the flowers, while the wives are more elegant.At this moment, no matter how high or low the family is, everyone smiles at Yan Yanjian with a decent, polite expression that is almost perfect.

Mammy stood under the steps and made a gesture of invitation, "Miss, the flower hall is here. Please come in."

Ji Wuyan thanked her with a smile, and stepped up the steps.

But I heard a voice that was so exaggerated that it felt sweet to my ears, "Yo! Isn't this... my... sister?"

It's actually an acquaintance who once met... an acquaintance.

Shen Lewei.

She came under the banner of Fengchenju, Shen Luoxin didn't want to cause trouble, so she just followed behind Ji Wuyan without making a sound.

Shen Lewei is actually not qualified to attend such a banquet, she is just the concubine daughter of the Shen family.At that time, the old lady ordered that the invitation be sent to the Shen's residence. What the old lady meant was that although Xu Siniang and Mr. Shen lived in separate residences, but after all, it was a serious Mrs. Shen, so the invitation would naturally be sent to the Shen's residence.

Unexpectedly, it was cheaper for Shen Lewei - the Bai family had no reason to drive out the guests who came to the door.

But even so, Shen Lewei's days at the Bai family banquet were really like sitting on the bench and no one cared about her.

Those who came to the banquet were of course invited, and they also came for the young master of the Bai family. Everyone knew this well, so it was impossible for those wives to bring the concubine daughters of the house with them—to bury them for no reason. who?Therefore, among the concubines and concubine daughters gathered together, without the concubine daughter brought by the wife, it seemed weak and unpopular.

Except for a few girls who are not of high family status and want to use this to climb up to the imperial doctor, they usually can't say a few words to her all day long, and even many people in the hall don't know this person who is always a little out of place. girl.

At this moment, she giggled, her voice was sweet and greasy, but it attracted the attention of many people. The girls looked at each other, "This is..."

"Not familiar, I seem to have heard her say that she seems to be a concubine from some family..."

"Concubine? What is concubine doing here? Do you still want to fly on a branch and become a phoenix?"

"No... I heard it belongs to the Shen family."

"Shen's family? Doctor Yushi?... I heard that their inner house is a mess. The serious wife brings the concubine daughter to live in a separate house, and the concubine brings the concubine daughter to dominate the inner house... The people in the house also have no rules. , and call the concubine who came out of the Goulan courtyard his wife..."

"How do you know so clearly?"

"My mother told me...to let me have less contact with such people, and to ruin my reputation for nothing."

Her voice was not high, but she didn't deliberately lower it, and it was heard clearly in Shen Lewei's ears. Her face froze slightly, and Shen Luoxin's gaze fell on her body, and she felt a burning pain. Come on, I couldn't help it at the moment, "Shen Luoxin, what kind of eyes are you looking at? Do you think you are really the daughter of a high-ranking royal doctor? A joke! You are the daughter of a coward! You shouldn't be here, you know I don't know how many ghosts are lingering around me!"

The flower hall is not big.

Most of the girls and wives who were closest to the door moved in quietly, leaving their identities there, so they naturally wouldn't say unflattering things like Shen Lewei, but they were somewhat taboo about these unclear things.

I would rather trust it to have it than to trust it to have nothing.

What Shen Lewei wanted was this kind of result - she wanted the people in the flower hall to isolate Shen Luoxin, and it would be best if she could force Chen Luoxin away.

The girl who was directly facing Yang Shaofei at the gate of Fengchenju, who was not at all weak, just followed behind Ji Wuyan and looked at everyone's reactions as usual, with the corners of her mouth slightly twitching, a little ironic.

However, she couldn't ruin Ji Wuyan's plan, so she just followed behind with her head down.

She wanted to calm things down, but Shen Lewei didn't want to. Seeing that the other party was ignoring her, she took another step forward and pushed Shen Luoxin, but was stopped by Ji Wuyan who just walked to her side, "Miss Shen, respect yourself. "

"Why is it you again? You, the daughter of a rich businessman, can also be invited to such a party?" After thinking about it, she guessed that the daughter of a rich businessman came here with Shen Luoxin. She became more and more disdainful, and sneered, "Raw of the same breed. Shen Luoxin Luo Xin, before Mrs. Bai comes over, hurry up and take these people back together, don't embarrass yourself here."

"Speaking of embarrassment..." Ji Wuyan still kept her hand in place, protecting the people behind her, "In the end, they are all surnamed Shen, no matter what happens in the nest, they should act as sisters when they go out Shen, if you can't act, it's great to be like a stranger. The so-called family ugliness should not be exposed, Miss Shen doesn't seem to know this truth, and people have seen many jokes for nothing."

"Speaking of shame, isn't it Miss Shen?"

Shen Lewei was furious, "You...what are you?! If you have some money, you want to sneak in and climb high branches. Do you have a place to speak here?!"

"Shen Lewei! Shut up!"

Shen Luoxin called by name and surname, and the expression on her face completely sank, "What dissatisfaction is directed at me, why bother to blame others? Besides, I didn't intend to expose your little trick at first. , let me ask you, how did you come to this banquet? Could it be that you secretly used the post that Mrs. Bai sent to the Shen family? That post...you ask yourself, is it really for you?"

The voice is not high, but the words are straight and round, even though the face is not alluring, but the serious look is full of momentum.

Suddenly, "Let me just say, although this old lady Bai is hospitable, she would definitely not invite such a person over. I heard that her mother was born in Goulanyuan, and the daughter she taught has learned a lot since she was a child. Be careful..."

"It's said that others want to climb high branches... Heh, I really can't hide my little thoughts."
