Ma'am, I was wrong

Hearing Mrs. Chen's words, she looked in the direction of Mrs. Chen and recalled that Ayan had handed her a picture album before, which contained descriptions of ladies and ladies.

Thinking about it, the person who just spoke should be Mrs. Chen's family who have a close relationship with them.

A decent smile appeared on Liu Yanshu's face, she pinched the handkerchief and walked towards Mrs. Chen, smiling: "Mrs. Chen is teasing me again. I am a person who walked out of a ravine. This is not the first time that I have lost my way at the gate of such a deep mansion as Duke Rongguo's Mansion.

Are you saying it's ridiculous? "

Hearing this, the smile on Mrs. Chen's face froze slightly. If Mrs. Liu had never seen the world, wouldn't they, ladies who came from unknown places, have to feel ashamed?

"Mrs. Liu was joking." Mrs. Chen showed some embarrassment on her face and forced a smile on her lips.

In response, Liu Yanshu responded with a smile. Although she didn't know why Mrs. Chen said such weird words to her, Liu Yanshu was not a good person.

The few words Mrs. Chen just said were clearly saying that she entrusted Dana Qiao to not take them seriously because of her noble status. Liu Yanshu is lazy, but it does not mean that she can let a stranger take a pot of water. Splash sewage on yourself.

After greeting the ladies and ladies around her one by one, she chose a quiet place to stay. The purpose of her coming today was to see her mother.

It was not that she wanted to talk to these ladies face to face, nor did she want to have a close relationship with them. However, Liu Yanshu did not take the initiative to find those ladies and ladies. Some people did find her uninvited.

"Presumably, this is Mrs. Liu?"

Mrs. Li, who had also chosen a secluded place, asked, her tone even more cowardly and timid. She looked timid, like an innocent little white rabbit.

Liu Yanshu glanced at Mrs. Li beside her and nodded, saying 'yes'.

Mrs. Li picked up the cloud cake on the side, opened her lips lightly, took a bite, and whispered softly: "Mrs. Liu, do you want some?"

Liu Yanshu looked at Mrs. Li in front of her with a smile. She was obviously very scared, but she still pretended to be calm and invited herself to eat cakes together. Then, she followed Mrs. Li's example and picked up the cloud cake on the side and fed it to her mouth.

A faint sweetness instantly filled the entire palate, and her eyes narrowed slightly. The cloud cake from Duke Rongguo's Mansion was unlike anything she had eaten before, with a vague floral fragrance.

"Is it delicious?" Mrs. Li asked cautiously, looking at Liu Yanshu timidly with her deer-like eyes.

As soon as the words fell, Liu Yanshu nodded in the next second, "It's delicious, but there's a floral fragrance in it. I tasted it carefully for a long time, but I still couldn't figure out what kind of flower it was?"

"Peach blossom." Mrs. Li narrowed her eyes and said the answer.

Liu Yanshu asked subconsciously, "How could it be peach blossoms?" She intuitively felt that there was a faint smell in it, but she didn't expect it to be the fragrance of peach blossoms.

Mrs. Li nodded vigorously, lowered her head slightly, and said softly, "Isn't it true? Duke Rong Guo has always loved his eldest daughter in the family. When he was in the capital, he was already extremely doting on him. Even now in Cangzhou, he still loves her. He has not weakened his love for his daughter. Duke Rong Guo is an excellent father, and I heard that Duke Rong Guo also built a new courtyard for his legitimate daughter, named Zhaoyue Yuan."

'Shoyuein'?Liu Yanshu recited the word "Zhaoyue" silently for dozens of times in her heart. The word "Zhao" means bright and eye-catching, while "月" is taken from Su Yueming's "月".

Just the name of a courtyard has extinguished the hope that was rekindled in Liu Yanshu's heart and turned it into a cold puddle of ashes.

"Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Liu?" Mrs. Li waved her hand in front of Liu Yanshu, wondering what happened to Mrs. Liu?
Suddenly, Liu Yanshu chuckled, and the hesitation in her eyes gradually became firmer, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Li, I was a little panicked just now. I didn't expect Duke Rong to be so doting on his legitimate daughter."

The corner of Mrs. Li's mouth moved, and she was about to continue saying something, when she saw the host, Mrs.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Xie suddenly felt unwell just now and asked the second lady to come to take charge of the matter. However, the ladies and ladies from various houses met Mrs. Xie, not Mrs. Xie's younger siblings.

Everyone slowly stood up and bowed to Mrs. Xie Yingying, which was regarded as a courtesy. The Xie family belongs to the hairpin family in Cangzhou. The Rongguo Duke's Palace is only one branch of the Xie family, but it is also the most important one.

Mrs. Xie smiled, and her gentle eyes swept over everyone present. However, when her eyes fell on Liu Yanshu's face, she froze, with a few tears in her eyes.

Then something was said. Liu Yanshu stood far away and did not hear what her mother said specifically, but her eyes could clearly see her mother's current face.

My mother is getting older, there are obviously a few wrinkles in the corners of her eyes, her black hair has also become more silvery, and her whole person does not look as energetic as before.

Seeing this scene, Liu Yanshu felt somewhat uncomfortable. As her biological mother, Mrs. Xie should have given birth to her grandson Chenghuan at this age.

According to the age at which most girls marry, Liu Yanshu would have been married long ago, and maybe she would have several children now, if there had not been all the changes in the past.

She spends her life like an ordinary woman, but Liu Yanshu is no longer the Xie Shu she used to be, and it is impossible for her to live as she did before.

"Mrs. Li, do you know why the birthday girl didn't show up today?" Liu Yanshu asked Mrs. Li sideways. Today is Su Yueming's birthday.

She has been here for so long, but she has not seen the protagonist, which is a strange thing.

"Mrs. Liu, are you talking about the eldest daughter of Duke Rongguo's family?" said Mrs. Li.

Liu Yanshu nodded.

"The eldest lady said she is weak and rarely sees people on weekdays. She usually doesn't go out to such lively occasions easily. Most of the time she stays in her own yard." Mrs. Li frowned and looked around Looking around, he found that no one was paying attention to them, so he continued: "Moreover, at this time last year, the eldest lady had already come out once. I think she won't come out again this year."

In the following time, as Mrs. Li said, everything was extremely normal. The banquet was held smoothly, no different from those banquets Liu Yanshu had attended. (End of chapter)
