Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 296: Birthday Banquet (1)
Now that Mrs. Chu is here, why doesn't she come out?

Mrs. Wu Qingbo said with a smile: "In order to celebrate our old lady's birthday, Sister Yi specially drew a picture of a birthday star, and it was not finished until midnight last night, so I got up late today, and I am probably still dressing up now. I will let you know later. Someone called her to come over and pay my respects to the ladies."

Chen Yaqin said with a smile: "It turns out that Miss Lu is so versatile and filial. She really is not comparable to ordinary people. No wonder her reputation spread so well. Presumably the previous rumors are true?"

When Madam Wu Qing heard the words, the smile on her face was a little awkward, and she could only say: "It's just some unreliable rumors, and it can't be taken as true at all. If you want me to say, Mrs. Chu is the real beauty of the country, how can she be a little girl?" Can the posture of Pu Liu be compared to this?"

Chen Yaqin looked at her in astonishment and said: "Mrs. Wu Qingbo, where do you start with this statement? I never said that Miss Lu can compare to Mrs. Chu State? What kind of status is Mrs. Chu State? You can compare? Mrs. Wu Qingbo, please don't wrong me."

In terms of words, the ten wives of Uncle Wu Qing added up, aren't Chen Yaqin's opponents?After a few words, she was so blocked that she couldn't speak, and her face flushed red.

Mrs. Song, the wife of Duke Li, couldn't help but chimed in: "Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Chu hasn't spoken yet. Why are you interrupting? Besides, what you said is too much. I don't believe it. Mrs. Chu only It’s so big that you can’t even be compared with others?”

While talking, she looked at Su Wan and asked with a smile, "Madam Chu, what do you think?"

If Su Wan says that they cannot be compared, not only will people think that she is small, but also that she can't afford to lose, or that she is already scared.

Naturally, Su Wan would not slap Chen Yaqin in the face at this time, so she smiled and said: "Mrs. Li Guogong, you are really right. I really don't want others to compare me, because everyone is different. , are all unique. Such a comparison is meaningless at all, and I don’t need to use this method to prove my value. If this is considered narrow, then I will admit it.”

After a pause, Su Wan said again: "Of course, the imperial concubine's heart must be wider than mine. Wouldn't it be more meaningful to let Miss Lu compare with the imperial concubine? care about little things like this."

"Mrs. Chu, you are too presumptuous!" Hearing this, Mrs. Li Guogong's son was shocked and angry. She couldn't believe that Su Wan dared to talk about the noble concubine.

"I'm presumptuous?" Su Wan chuckled lightly, "You can squeeze me like this, why can't I mention the imperial concubine? Even if you are presumptuous, you are the first to be presumptuous! I also treat others in the same way as others That's all. The imperial concubine is generous, I believe she will not care about me."

"You... How can you be compared with the imperial concubine?" Mrs. Li Guogong Shizi was so angry that she couldn't choose what to say. In a rage, she actually said what was in her heart, but she regretted it immediately after she finished speaking. .Because even if Mrs. Chu is really inferior to the imperial concubine, she is definitely not something she can lightly offend.

hiss--

There was a gasping sound in the hall.

It can make these reserved wives and young ladies unable to bear such a gaffe, which shows how inappropriate the words of Duke Li's words are.

Mrs. Li Guogong's wife's complexion became more and more unsightly, but she is also a person who can let go of her face. After all, she stood up and apologized to Su Wan: "Mrs. Chu, it was just a moment of anger on my part. If it’s not true, please don’t take it to heart, Mrs. Chu, to express my apology, I’m willing to punish myself with three cups of apology!”

Although the words of Mrs. Li Guogong and Shizi just now are not pleasant, they are also true. Su Wan has never felt that she is comparable to a noble concubine, and she is not very angry. She just doesn't like Mrs. Li. This kind of attitude is nothing more than that, after all, no one likes those who look down on them.

However, since Mrs. Li Guogong Shizi has put down her dignity and apologized to her, if she still has to be reasonable, it is her fault.Moreover, she is so flexible, which makes her look a little different.

In this way, there is no need to be too fussy, so he smiled and said: "Mrs. Shizi is serious. You just told the truth. What's wrong? I didn't take it to heart, so there is no need to punish this wine."

The Madam of the Duke of Li's Mansion didn't know whether Su Wan was speaking the truth or just saying polite words, but since she had already made it this far, there was no reason to give up halfway.Then he insisted: "Madame Chu doesn't care about me, Madam, you are generous, but I can't easily forgive my mistakes, so I still have to be punished for drinking."

After finishing speaking, he said to Mrs. Wu Qingbo: "I have to trouble Mrs. Ye."

Seeing this, Su Wan stopped persuading her. If she was not allowed to drink these three glasses of wine, she might be restless and paranoid all the time.

Because this is just a living room, not a birthday hall where birthday banquets are held, so only tea and fruits are served, and there are no drinks.

Mrs. Wu Qingbo understood, and hurriedly ordered the girl to bring wine.

After a while, a pretty girl came over with a small tray. On the tray was a jug and three small wine glasses lined up.

After the wife of the prince of the Duke of Li's mansion filled up the wine, she drank three glasses of wine in one go, and drank every glass until there was not a drop of wine left.

This matter is over.

Mrs. Li Guogong Shizi went through such a scare, although she was only scaring herself, she finally saw the situation clearly and became much more honest.

Although Mrs. Chu may not be as good as Concubine Hu Gui in terms of status, her influence on His Majesty is far greater than that of Concubine Hu Gui. Feeling dissatisfied, if she hurts the imperial concubine and the eldest prince in the palace again, then she will be a sinner.

When she saw Su Wan's outfit just now, she was emotionally shaken and lost her sense of control for a moment, and when she saw Su Wan mentioning the imperial concubine, she became angry and lost her composure for a moment, so she said those words without thinking.

Now calm down, I can't help but feel scared for a while.

Seeing that Mrs. Li Guogong's wife had died down, the atmosphere in the hall became lively.

Seeing that they were about to go to the birthday hall to pay their respects, the girl Lu from Wuqingbo's mansion hadn't come yet, which made many people feel a little unhappy.

Mrs. Liao, Mrs. Jinxiang Hou, couldn't help asking: "Mrs. Ye, didn't you just ask someone to call the lady of the house, why haven't you come yet? We have been waiting for a long time."

Mrs. Wu Qingbo was about to speak when she suddenly heard someone shouting outside: "Young lady is here."
