Shen Yunjiao was surprised, "So you're here too."

Zhou Yuanzhen walked over with a smile, "I came here with my mother. It's great that we can keep company."

As Zhou Yuanzhen moved, the jade pendant hanging around her waist collided and made a crisp sound.

Looking at her dress again, her bun is dotted with pearls, her eyebrows are decorated with flowers, her eyebrows are drawn thinly, and her lips are painted red, which is very solemn.

Zhou Yuanzhen looked at Shen Yunjiao's eyes and knew what she was thinking.

Zhou Yuanzhen said helplessly: "My mother has to make me look like this, and there is nothing I can do about it."

In that compartment, Mrs. Zhou came to greet Mrs. Su, and they were about to go to Lu's house together.

Mother Lu came out and said, "Aunt, Mrs. Zhou, you are all here. Stop standing outside and come in and sit down. Mother Xiao, please be careful and you can bring the distinguished guests in."

Mrs. Zhou smiled and asked, "Mrs. Lu, won't you go in?"

Mother Lu smiled enigmatically, "I'm waiting for the guests here."

Before Mrs. Zhou came, she had wanted to be on good terms with Mother Lu.

After hearing what she said, he advised: "Just let the person in charge wait at the door for these things. I think Mrs. Lu is taking medicine from time to time, so don't be tired."

"I'm not tired, I'm not tired."

Mother Lu insisted on waiting at the door and urged Mother Xiao to lead them in.

In the end, Mrs. Zhou said nothing and followed Mrs. Su and others to the Lu family's house.

Shen Yunjiao of the Lu family has also been here several times, so she is very familiar with it.

The group of people sat down in the front hall of the Lu family.

There are two large tables in the front hall, and there is no room for any more.

Fortunately, there were not many guests here today, only the female relatives of the Su family and the Zhou family, and some people that Mrs. Lu knew well after coming to the capital. Two tables would definitely be enough for a full meal.

After everyone sat down, Mrs. Zhou said calmly: "I don't know if Mr. Lu will show up today."

Zhou Yuanzhen couldn't help but retorted, "It doesn't matter whether Mr. Lu shows his face or not."

Mrs. Zhou said angrily: "You kid, I also want to see what kind of beauty Tanhualang is."

Mrs. Zhou kept casting warning glances at Zhou Yuanzhen, signaling her to calm down.

Although Zhou Yuanzhen was dissatisfied, she was still quite content.Everything that happened today was caused by her.

Shen Yunjiao quietly shook Zhou Yuanzhen's hand under the table.

Zhou Yuanzhen smiled secretly at her.

More guests arrived one after another, but Mother Lu never returned.

About half an hour later, when all the guests in the front hall were waiting impatiently, they finally heard Mother Lu's voice.

"It's my fault that I came late and made it easier for Madam to wait." Having said that, Wu Qingshan didn't feel the slightest bit ashamed on her face.

She relies on her extraordinary status, and it is also an honor for others to wait for her for a while.

Mother Lu said hurriedly: "It won't be too late, you came at the right time."

The two of them walked all the way inside and soon entered the hall.

The originally lively Ming Hall suddenly fell silent after Wu Qingshan appeared again.

Wu Qingshan was not dressed grandly, but the intricately crafted and valuable gold and jade hairpins on her bun silently demonstrated her status.

In her comparison, Zhou Yuanzhen looked like she was dressed in colorful clothes to entertain a bride, dressed too deliberately.

Zhou Yuanzhen noticed it himself, and suddenly felt ashamed, and his eyes turned red with anger.

Among the people present, Mrs. Zhou had met Wu Qingshan before and asked, "Why is Second Miss Wu here too?" It was really out of character to come here alone, without any elders by her side.

Before Wu Qingshan could speak, Mother Lu said protectively, "Of course I'm the one who invited you. Miss Wu is an honored guest today. Come and take a seat."

Mother Lu's particularly attentive attitude toward Wu Qingshan made everyone else frown.

Mrs. Su was particularly displeased. Wu Qingshan was a distinguished guest, so what about her?

Shen Yunjiao looked at Mrs. Su and said softly: "Old madam, Aunt Lu will not be so imprudent."

Just as she finished speaking, she saw Mother Lu enthusiastically pulling Wu Qingshan to sit on the main seat.

Wu Qingshan said: "I am young and cannot sit in such a position."

Mother Lu said: "You are here today on behalf of the Wu family, so of course you can sit. You have the most honorable status here. If you don't sit down, who else can?"

The two pulled together, completely ignoring the increasingly ugly expressions on the faces of the people next to them.

Shen Yunjiao also felt that Mother Lu's behavior was really disgraceful, so she simply put away her smile and watched coldly.

Mrs. Zhou had a cheerful temperament, so she couldn't stand it and said, "There is also an older elder here. If a junior sits in that position, wouldn't it ruin her luck?"

Mother Lu was startled and looked towards Mrs. Su. She was so focused on trying to please Wu Qingshan that she forgot about everyone else.

Mother Lu said awkwardly: "Auntie won't mind, right?"

Although Madam Su was dissatisfied, she would not let it out in these days. She hummed deeply and did not want to say more.

Wu Qingshan glanced around with disdain. All the people here together were not as noble as her.

But what Mrs. Zhou said just now is correct. If she is allowed to sit on the throne, won't she be ruined?

She will live a long life.

She sat down on the chair next to the main seat and smiled arrogantly and reservedly: "I'll just sit here. I'll give this position to Mrs. Su."

A concession was given to Mrs. Su only if she didn't want it. If we really wanted to fight for it, this position would definitely belong to her.

After hearing this, Mother Lu went to invite Mrs. Su to sit down.

Mrs. Su didn't move at all, "I can't sit in that position, so I won't sit down. It's quite nice here."

Mother Lu tried to persuade her several times, but Mrs. Su refused to move, so Mother Lu had no choice but to give up.

The main seat was empty and no one sat down.

Shen Yunjiao was afraid that Mrs. Su would be angry, so she comforted her softly.

Mrs. Su smiled and said, "My old lady still has some belly."

Shen Yunjiao sat back.

When Mother Lu saw that all the guests had arrived, she ordered the banquet to begin.

Looking around, all the people serving and preparing dishes are servants of the Su family.

Wu Qingshan looked at these servants who clearly did not belong to the Lu family, and felt a little unhappy. She was angry about why Lu's mother didn't ask the Wu family for help.

As long as Mother Lu is willing to speak, the Wu family will definitely help many servants.

When the dishes arrived, Wu Qingshan couldn't take a bite. It wasn't until Mother Lu persuaded her again and again that she picked up her chopsticks and took a generous bite of the pork ribs.

As soon as she had it in her mouth, she frowned and spit it out again.

"Bah, bah, bah, why does it taste so bad? Aunt Lu, where did you hire the cook from?"

Mother Lu was surprised and hurriedly picked up a piece of elbow with chopsticks and tasted it. It was delicious, fat but not greasy. It obviously tasted good.

But these words came from Wu Qingshan.
