Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 298 Avoidance (1)
When she saw Lu Jingyi just now, she was worried about Su Wan in her heart. Now, when she saw Lu Jingyi gaining the limelight again, she couldn't help sighing again. If my wife was here, I don't know how worried I would be!
She observed Su Wan secretly, and found that Su Wan had a smile on her face, without a trace of jealousy or discomfort. She even nodded in agreement when she heard other people's compliments. The anxiety in Shi's heart was unavoidably reduced.

Since my cousin is not worried, what is she worrying about here?
Chen Yaqin was never worried from the beginning, because she knew from yesterday that her younger sister would not fall out of favor so easily.

Everyone humbled for half a day before entering the table. Su Wan had the highest status and sat at the top table. The next ones were ordered by the Duke.The other ladies without rank had to stay behind, and the distance was widened.

Uncle Wuqing's mansion also invited a troupe to sing operas. The wife of Uncle Wuqing's son, Mrs. Lu, personally took the playlist and went to the table to ask Su Wan to order. After ordering a play, Mrs. Li Guogong and Shizi ordered one, and then the others condescended for a while, then ordered another play, and then let the troupe sing.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the banquet is over.

After the rewards were released, everyone went to the waiting room just now and offered new tea.

Su Wan drank a lot of wine just now, and her capacity for alcohol was low, and she suddenly felt her face was hot again. The wind blew on the road just now, she couldn't help feeling a little dizzy, and her body swayed involuntarily. Fortunately, Chen Yaqin was sitting next to her, and helped her up in time Put, shouted: "Sister?"

Su Wan rubbed her forehead and said with a smile, "It's nothing, just a little dizzy."

Chen Yaqin couldn't help saying angrily: "Since you know you can't drink, why don't you drink a little less, who dares to blame you for not being able to?"

"I'm greedy for drinking." Su Wan said.

Mrs. Yu, the wife of Lingbi Hou Shizi, also came to ask a few words, and other people couldn't help but stepped forward to ask about it.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wu Qingbo hurriedly asked: "What's wrong with Mrs. Chu? Are you drunk?"

Su Wan said with a smile: "I don't drink very much, and I get drunk after a few drinks, which makes you laugh."

Her face was flushed, and she looked more and more charming than a flower. When she smiled, she became a little more charming and enchanting. They were all red, thinking to themselves, it was not unreasonable for Mrs. Chu to be so favored by the emperor.

Fortunately, there are no male guests here, otherwise, what's the deal?

Of course, in the eyes of those who are hostile to Su Wan, they may have already started to call her a vixen in their hearts.

"It's our fault. If we had known that Mrs. Chu was too strong to drink, we would have skipped a few toasts." Mrs. Wu Qingbo said with a guilty look on her face, and then asked someone to serve sober soup.

After Su Wan drank it, it was getting late, so Chen Yaqin said to Madam Wu Qing, "Madam Tai, Madam Chu is not feeling well, why don't we take a step first?"

"This..." Mrs. Wu Qingbo was a little hesitant, and then looked at Mrs. Wu Qingbo.

Mrs. Wu Qingbo immediately said: "Why are you in such a hurry? It's still early! It doesn't matter if you sit for a while longer."

If Mrs. Chu is gone, how will the next play continue?She also wants Sister Yi to completely overwhelm her and show off the limelight again!

Chen Yaqin said with a smile: "Mrs. Ye, I'm fine. It's just that Mrs. Chu's status is different. Now she is almost drunk again. If something happens to the mansion, the higher authorities will blame it. The mansion may not be able to bear it."

Mrs. Wu Qingbo couldn't help hesitating when she heard this, and then looked at Su Wan's posture, if something really happened, the Holy One might not be able to spare them!Although their family has other thoughts, it does not mean that they are not afraid of the imperial power, besides, the current Emperor Xian De is not insane, now, they still dare not stroke the beard of a tiger, and can only behave with their tails between their legs.

Mrs. Wu Qingbo deliberated for a while, but in the end fear had the upper hand, and said: "In this case, please trouble Mrs. Shizi to send Mrs. Chu back."

"It's natural." Chen Yaqin smiled, and then she looked at Su Wan and said, "Madame Chu, let's go now!"

Su Wan nodded, and said to Mrs. Wu Qingbo, "Mrs. Tai, then we will take our leave first."

Now that the matter has come to an end, Mrs. Wu Qing Botai is not good at forcing her to stay, so everyone sent Su Wan and Su Wan to the second gate and watched them leave.

Seeing Su Wan's leaving back, Lu Jingyi couldn't help frowning.

She came here full of confidence, thinking that she would be able to compete with Mrs. Chu Guo, and she believed that she would not lose. Who knew that people would not take her seriously at all, and there was no hostility in her eyes, and occasionally With a little appreciation, she is no different from other people, as if she didn't even know that she was going to enter the palace.

There was neither admiration nor hostility or jealousy.

Originally, she should be happy with Su Wan's attitude.

However, she felt very uncomfortable, because this kind of non-discriminatory attitude was the greatest insult to her.

Doesn't she feel threatened by him?
Or is she too confident to take her seriously?

Thinking of this, Lu Jingyi's competitive spirit not only did not subside, but increased a lot. Hmph, since she doesn't bother to face herself, one day, she will let her face herself.

After Su Wan and Chen Yaqin got into the carriage, Chen Yaqin smiled and said, "Oh, sister, when I said I would take you away first, Mrs. Wu Qingbo had a look of reluctance. I don't know, I thought we had a lot with her. What about the deep feelings? She is so obvious, who doesn't know her plan? Let's not accept the move and see what she will do?"

Su Wan also smiled slightly, and said: "It's nothing, in fact, look at that Miss Lu's talent is not bad." In ancient times, there were few entertainments, just treat yourself as entertainment.

Even if she stayed, she wouldn't show them any talent.Could it be that she, the majestic Mrs. Chu, still needs to lower her status and show her talent to them?In this way, who is she?Even if he really won, it would be nothing more than a laughing stock.

Su Wan and Chen Yaqin were talking together in the carriage, and they didn't feel bored. After walking for a quarter of an hour, the carriage suddenly stopped and stopped.

The two stopped talking and looked at each other, both a little puzzled.

Su Wan asked the woman following the car outside, "What happened?"

The woman replied: "If you go back to Madam, it's not a big deal, it's just that you happened to meet a carriage from someone else's house in front of you, and the family guards are rushing over to let them avoid it!"

Su Wan nodded, not caring.
