After returning home, the Crown Princess can no longer hide her vest!

Chapter 401 Small Banquet
"Miss, hurry up, the people from Wu'an Marquis' Mansion have arrived." Yu Linlang was pressed on the stool, her eyes still half closed.

"Who?" She couldn't wrap her mind around it for a moment.

Liu Fen put a hairpin on her hair and said with a smile, "Didn't Madam say yesterday that her family was coming?"

"Oh, yes." Yu Linlang remembered that her mother did mention it.

The people we invited today were people who had been good friends with my parents many years ago. Since it was a family dinner, my grandparents' family must be present.

Apart from these, my mother only has three or four close friends.

Yu Linlang hurriedly finished her breakfast, packed up, and walked towards the back garden.

It rained last night and the temperature dropped a little today. It’s not that hot anymore, but the air is still quite humid.

Yu Linlang walked along the wet gravel road, crossed the covered bridge and arrived at the courtyard.

Several ladies were sitting in a small pavilion by the pond, drinking tea, all with smiles on their faces.

Mrs. Su saw her precious daughter coming down the path and waved to her happily. She smiled at the ladies and said, "Come and meet my precious daughter."

Yu Linlang quickened her pace and walked to the pavilion, bowing respectfully.

Several ladies all smiled and said, "Stop being so polite, we are all family, come over."

Madam Su ran down the stairs, took her eldest daughter's arm and walked into the pavilion, saying to everyone she met, "This is my precious daughter Lang'er. You must look carefully and don't bully her in the future."

A lady with a round face rolled her eyes at Madam Su, "Xiaoqin, what are you saying? Can we bully the famous Jade Fox Master? You should introduce us to your precious daughter. If anything happens to our family and we accidentally fall into the hands of Jade Fox Master, you have to give us a break."

Madam Su was overjoyed and clapped her daughter's hands, saying, "Look, that's your Aunt He, the wife of Mr. Lai, the Hanlin scholar."

"This is Mrs. Chen, the assistant teacher of the Imperial College. You can just call her Aunt Li."

"That is the wife of General Weiwu, mother's second sister, and your second aunt."

"This……"

As soon as Madam Su introduced the lady opposite, she ran up excitedly and grabbed Yu Linlang's hand, "Hey, you, you are really Lady Yuhu?"

The lady looked her up and down with wide eyes, an expression of disbelief.

Yu Linlang smiled awkwardly, "Mrs. Lu."

"Why call me Madam Lu? I'm your mother's sworn sister, so I'm Aunt Rong."

Yu Linlang hurriedly bowed, "Aunt Rong."

Qin Rong was so happy that she thought about what she had said to her son... Well, no wonder her son always looked at her with an indescribable expression, it turned out that the bastard knew that Lady Jade Fox was a girl!

"My girl, I didn't expect that you, a young girl, have such good medical skills." Qin Rong praised her endlessly, turned around and glanced at the sisters, and said with a smile, "You don't know yet? Lang'er and I have known each other for a long time, right?"

Yu Linlang could only nod.

Assistant Professor Chen's wife had a serious and old-fashioned face. "Qin Rong, you know Lord Jade Fox, right? You make it seem like we don't know Lord Jade Fox."

Mrs. Su was full of curiosity, "How did you two know each other?"

"You don't know, Lang'er also saved my son's life. His medical skills are really rare in the world." Mrs. Lu told the story fluently, talking about danger. When talking about the thrilling journey from Jinzhou Prefecture to the capital, all the ladies couldn't help but be surprised.

They also knew a little about court affairs from their husbands, but none of them could describe them in such detail as Mrs. Lu's personal experience.

"Lang'er, come to my house for dinner when you are free. It doesn't matter how late it is, just ask your brother Xiwen to take you home later." Qin Rong smiled at Yu Linlang, her eyes full of pride.

My son, this is the best I can do for you!

Yu Linlang was so embarrassed by Mrs. Lu that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She could only agree to her request and turned her gaze to an unfamiliar lady.

She was a court official, and she had intentionally collected some portraits of her colleagues and their families before they returned to Beijing. She had also roughly scanned their portraits, and had met some of the ladies once or twice at banquets she had attended before.

Therefore, I am familiar with Assistant Professor Chen's wife, Mrs. Lai, and the wife of General Weiwu.

Not to mention Madam Lu, she was Lu Qian's mother, and they had been together before...

But this lady who was looking at her and smiling without saying anything did look a little unfamiliar.

Madam Su seemed to have just remembered it and said with a fake smile, "This is Madam Xiaomei, the successor of the Marquis of Wu'an."

Yu Linlang's mind raced. Wasn't Wu'an Marquis's Mansion her mother's family home? This stepmother must be her uncle Song Zhennan's...wife.

The way my mother introduced him showed that...she obviously had some problems with this second wife.

But Yu Linlang naturally couldn't interfere in matters between the elders, so she just bowed to the step-wife out of courtesy.

Although Madam Su treated her coldly, Xiao Mei didn't feel embarrassed at all, and she was even good at saving face for herself.

Seeing Yu Linlang being polite to him, he stood up and held her with a warm face, "Niece, stop being so polite. We are all family, there is no need to be so polite."

She pulled Yu Linlang to look around, revealing a look of joy, "My niece is so beautiful. It's no exaggeration to say that she is more beautiful than any other girl."

Since someone showed kindness to her and praised her to the skies, Yu Linlang naturally couldn't just turn her back on her and could only smile at her.

Mrs. Su saw this and stepped forward, pulling her daughter's arm, saying calmly, "Every little girl is a beautiful flower in the world. It all depends on how hard the mother takes care of her."

"What the sister-in-law said is true." Xiao Mei was not embarrassed at all when she was criticized. She smiled and handed a gift to Yu Linlang, "We are all family. It's just a small gift. I hope my niece likes it."

Yu Linlang looked at her mother with a stern face, and when she saw her nod slightly, she reached out to take it and said thank you.

Upon seeing this, the other ladies also presented the gifts they had prepared.

Xiao Mei smiled and pointed at the two young girls beside her, "Niece, come and recognize someone else. This is your cousin Song Ruoli and your cousin Song Baozhu."

The girl with a long face and thin stature on the left stood up quickly and saluted her politely.

Yu Linlang hurriedly said that she was not worthy of the honor and that according to etiquette, she should be the one to greet her cousin.

The little girl on the right has a face like a jade bead, with fair skin and regular features. She is not that stunning, but with her exquisite makeup and gorgeous clothes, she looks like a little fairy who has descended to the mortal world.

But the girl raised her eyebrows and looked a little arrogant, and she didn't look like someone who was easy to get along with.

Yu Linlang was annoyed with dealing with people who looked up at others, so after greeting her cousin Song Ruoli, she just stood quietly beside her mother without saying a word.

Song Baozhu is still waiting for others to curry favor with her first!
