Chapter 62
Lu Lianzhi pursed her lips. Although she was a little unhappy, she still explained: "Brother, my mother originally entrusted me to organize this family dinner. If I dress too casually, wouldn't it be a loss?" The face of the county prince’s palace.”

"I'm not asking you to dress casually, it's just..."

Before Lu Shangxuan could finish his words, a servant had already come to announce the arrival of a distinguished guest. He could only give up and warned Lu Lianzhi in a low voice to be cautious when treating guests later, then straightened his clothes and headed to the main entrance of the Duke's Mansion.

Lu Lianzhi followed behind, preparing to go to the side door to greet the female guest.

But before going there, she made a special detour and passed by Dou Lianyi's yard. Seeing that it was quiet inside, she called a servant to ask.

"Replying to the Second Miss, the Young Madam has not left the courtyard yet. She said that it is the Second Miss who is in charge of the family dinner today. She just wants to be an idle person."

The servant answered truthfully.

Lu Lianzhi felt extremely happy after hearing these words. She waved her hand to signal the servant to step back, and turned to Fen'er and said, "She has some eyesight and knows who is in charge of this family banquet today."

"Yes, second lady."

Seeing that Fen'er deserved to be so dull and didn't know what to say, Lu Lianzhi rolled her eyes with some disgust, then held up her hairpin and muttered: "She is really stupid and tongue-tied, no wonder she can only be a A servant."

When Lu Lianzhi arrived late, there were already several female guests waiting at the side door. When they saw that the person who came out to greet her was not the young lady from the Prince's Palace, they began to murmur in their hearts.

And Lu Lianzhi greeted them in with a proud look, without the slightest feeling that she was overstepping her bounds.

The two female guests who were lagging behind looked at each other and whispered: "Mom, isn't this the second young lady of the county prince's palace?"

"Yes, but it's really strange. The person facing you at the front door is the young master of the county prince's palace. Why is there not the young lady here?"

"Moreover, this second young lady is dressed so brightly and still acts like the matron of the house. My daughter thinks this is really unreasonable."

Just as they were muttering, Lu Lianzhi happened to look over.

Although she didn't hear the content of the discussion, she sensitively felt that the two female guests looked at her with a little contempt.

Lu Lianzhi suddenly felt uncomfortable. She glanced condescendingly at the two female guests and felt that they were a bit unfamiliar. Besides, they were not very eye-catching, so she thought they were distant relatives, and her tone became rude. .

"I don't know what kind of relatives these two sisters are. Do you have an invitation letter for this family dinner?"

Such a petty speech immediately attracted the attention of the remaining guests who had not yet entered the prince's palace.

"Why, the dignified second lady of the Lu family has come out to greet the guests. Don't you recognize us yet?"

One of the younger female guests sneered, with sarcasm in her eyes.

A few older guests did recognize the identities of the two female guests, but they were all watching the show and no one wanted to remind them.

Lu Lianzhi was startled for a moment. Although she had sensed something was wrong, with so many people watching, she couldn't get off the stage. She could only bite the bullet and said: "The young lady of the County Prince's Mansion cannot go out or step forward. Naturally, she knows There aren’t many people, is there anything strange about that?”

"She behaves like this. She really doesn't look like a young lady from a county prince's palace. Instead, she looks like she comes from a small family." The older female guest raised her lips, but the words she said in a seemingly calm tone sounded different. It was even more harsh, "It seems like my good sister didn't train her adopted daughter well."

As soon as the word "adopted daughter" came out, Lu Lianzhi lost her composure and her voice became sharp: "What nonsense are you talking about! You are not welcome in the Prince's Palace. Come and drive them away!"

"I see who of you dares to touch me!"

When Lu Shangxuan arrived after hearing the news, there was already a mess at the side door. "What are you doing!"

He pulled Lu Lianzhi aside with a sullen face, scolded her in a low voice, raised his eyes and took a closer look, and his heart suddenly sank.

The older female guest in front of her was Mrs. Lu's stepsister, who was married to Marquis Dingguo, and the other one who was very angry was her eldest daughter Xu Wanying.

What's worse is that the relationship between his mother and this step-sister is really bad. They haven't had any contact with each other for many years. I don't know why they suddenly came to visit today.

The turmoil outside the Prince's Mansion did not affect the inside at all. At this time, Dou Lianyi had just finished dressing up, and walked slowly to the chrysanthemum garden holding Bai Zhi's hand.

When passing by the veranda by the lake, Dou Lianyi was even in the mood to break off the wisteria flowers wrapped around the pillars and wrap them around Bai Zhi's wrist.

The autumn wind blew across the lake, bringing the lively laughter in the chrysanthemum garden not far away. Dou Lianyi felt that she was extremely relaxed at this time.

In the previous life, Dou Lianyi would handle all the banquets in the palace. Who in the whole capital didn't know that the young lady of the Prince's Palace was smart, capable, and quite like the matron of the house.

It also aroused Lu Lianzhi's jealousy, and she repeatedly carried out sabotage in order to take away the rights of the mistress of the house.

Now that Dou Lianyi was too lazy to worry, he simply let go. He wanted to see what she, Lu Lianzhi, was capable of.

Therefore, Dou Lianyi didn't dress up specially today. She just asked Bai Zhi to bring her a bright yellow dress, which was in keeping with today's Double Ninth Festival.

In addition, the light green gauze waistband makes the waist even more voluptuous.

Her black hair was tied loosely in a bun at the back of her head, and a mahogany hairpin was inserted into it. The whole person looked fresh and simple, but her dark eyebrows, red lips, and hibiscus face couldn't even be concealed.

As the guests sat down one after another, they couldn't help but look at Dou Lianyi a few more times. They felt that she was not only beautiful, but she also looked dignified and unshakable as she sat in the main seat.

She is worthy of being the daughter of Prime Minister Dou.

Some guests were even secretly jealous of Lu Shangxuan.

Dou Lianyi felt a little uncomfortable as those seemingly disinterested eyes fell on her.

Fu Qing was sitting on her right side. When he saw Dou Lianyi tightening the corners of his mouth, he suddenly spoke in a low voice.

"My mother looks very beautiful today, like a hibiscus in clear water."

Dou Lianyi was stunned for a moment, and looked at Fu Qing's face that turned red immediately after he finished speaking. She felt a little amused and asked, "Who taught you this sentence?"

"No, no one," Fu Qing scratched the back of his head, turned around and muttered in a low voice, "I just think this poem suits you very well."

For some reason, Dou Lianyi felt better after seeing Fu Qing's embarrassed look.

She smiled and joked: "How old are you now? You have such a sweet mouth and are so good at coaxing others. How can you do it in the future?"

"Has the young lady been coaxed to feel happier now?"
