"I only made a few jokes about your sister, why are you so angry?" I quickly caught Second Miss Jiang and told her half-truths.

Second Miss Jiang was stunned for a moment. When she saw me use the corner of my eyes to scan the direction in which Eldest Miss Xue was seated, her expression changed and she said hesitantly, "No." "Nope."

From a distance, one could see Second Young Miss Xu's slightly red face and the corner of her lips curving upwards. Next, Eldest Young Miss Xu was pulled away to continue playing chess.

When Miss Xue saw me, she called to me in a sweet voice, "Cousin is back!"

Smiling, I pulled Second Miss Jiang and Miss Wen to the side of the brick bed, surrounding the two little girls who were sitting on it.

On both children's necks hung a small jade token in the shape of a fan, with some patterns carved into it.

I smiled and asked Fifth Miss Xue, "Ling'er, the jade pendant on your neck is really beautiful!"

Fifth Miss raised her delicate face like a flower and smiled at me. "This is a gift from Madam Wen!" Sister Wen also gave me a very beautiful handkerchief! "

I nodded to myself. The Wen family really has a way of doing things.

Madam Wen was an elder, so the gifts she sent were all exquisite and valuable. Miss Wen was of the same generation as us, so it was hard to avoid the suspicion that we might be rich if we gave each other some big things.

Miss Wen and Madam Wen were both very good people.

I laughed and joked: "Our Lin`er makeup case has a few more treasures!"

Two small red clouds rose on Ning Lin's face. She held onto the jade token, hesitating for a moment before looking at me with her bright eyes. "Do you like it, Cousin? If Cousin likes it, so be it! "

I touched Ning Lin's soft and slightly yellowish hair before saying smilingly, "Cousin Wen, if you like it, you can go ahead and care about it. You can keep this for yourself!"

Ning Lin bit her finger and said, "Cousin was wrong! This was given to me by Lady Wen! "

Ning Lin's innocence made the three of us laugh.

Ning Lin's face was full of anger, she pinched the jade token and said, "I'm not wrong! It was Lady Wen who gave it to me! Why are you guys laughing at me! "

Miss Wen stepped forward to protect Ning Lin, afraid that she would fall off the brick bed. With her clear and melodious voice, she explained, "We're not laughing at you, we think what you say makes sense!"

Hearing Miss Wen's words, Fifth Miss Xue quietly sat down.

Second Miss Jiang was still trying to recall Xu Sanniang's memories of herself, but to no avail. The witty and sincere conversation between the two of us made Miss Wen and I laugh uncontrollably.

After a while, the two ladies of the Xu family also came over after throwing the chessboard away. They crowded on the brick bed, talking about their sister's interesting stories.

Miss Xue wanted to call out to her sister several times, but Miss Xue just sat there with her back straight. She stared at a glass cup of tea in her hand, her expression so dark that she could squeeze water out.

Second Miss Jiang smiled and asked me, "What does Little Sister Yang usually do at home?"

I hurriedly focused my attention on Miss Xue and focused on listening to what the ladies were saying.

It was good to be able to sit there quietly. I didn't expect her to add to my happiness.

That's what I thought, but Miss Wen had already stood up to invite her over.

Stopping her at the exit will only cause people to misunderstand that I, as the owner, deliberately pushed aside Xue Ninglu. I only hope that she won't say anything inappropriate when she's feeling uneasy.

"Sister Xue!" Miss Wen smiled as she stood in front of Miss Xue.

Eldest Miss Xue slowly placed the teacup in her hand onto the flowers at the side. She turned her head to admire the jasmine flowers that had just bloomed.

Since she was like this, she already had enough. She could just come back and sit down to talk!

Obviously, Miss Wen didn't think this way. She maintained a kind smile: "Sister Xue, come and sit with us!"

Miss Xue suddenly turned her head, staring at Miss Wen and said fiercely: "Who's your sister! "You guys are giving me the cold shoulder, but I was afraid that I'd be tainted by your stinky stench!"

Miss Wen was given a fright by her, retreating a few steps before regaining her composure. In the blink of an eye, her reserved smile returned. "It's my fault for offending Miss Xue."

Miss Wen took her time with her words. She sounded like a gentleman who would take revenge at ten years' time.

Big Miss Xue's words seemed to say that Miss Wen, who had invited her, had actually insinuated that she was scolding a whole room of us. Miss Wen and I were young ladies from a merchant's family, so naturally we had meticulously planned everything out. As for the other young misses and I, we were stuck together, wouldn't we also be infected by our philistines?

The smile on Second Young Miss Xu's face was sarcastic and still very elegant, but Eldest Young Miss Xu only frowned.

This Lady Xu's eyes really weren't bright. She probably didn't realize that Miss Xue had already scolded her without even mentioning her.

Is this considered foolish people having foolish blessings?

A faint anger welled up in me.

Since you came to this banquet today, aren't you still giving our Yang family face?

Sitting on the side, carrying a tea bowl covered with our family's thirty taels of silver, what do you mean by 'do not eat the world's fire'?

Every year, we would build bridges, repair roads, and provide relief for the poor. Didn't your Master Xue have to rely on our Yang and Wen families to establish a reputation as a "official official of the Qing family"?

Do you think they were done with a mouth and two hands?

It's a pity that I'm hiding my strength right now, or else I'll definitely scold you until your head is soaked in dog blood!

I got off the kang, and the green bandit quickly followed behind me, standing next to Miss Wen.

Eldest Miss Xue's personal maidservant was standing behind her. Her face was pale as she stared at me menacingly, as if she wanted to do something that would harm her master.

The last time I fell into the water, it was Miss Xue's loyal servant who helped her, right?

Then I'll let you be loyal again today!

I smiled and said to her, "Your young mistress has spoken so arrogantly …" I carefully stared at the maidservant and saw that her face had paled. It was obvious that she knew that her young mistress had said something that was out of place.

"Go and inform your wife that your young lady is not feeling well!" I tried to smile gently and innocently.

When the servant girl heard this, she hesitated for a moment before she lifted the hem of her skirt.

Then I helped Miss Wen back, and she blushed a little, and smiled at me, with a sly gleam in her eyes, as if to say, I already know what you're going to do!

I smiled back at her and told the Rookie to come. "You go talk to Mrs. Xue San about what happened just now. If you meet my mother and tell her what happened, I won't make up my mind. I'll have to ask my mother to decide."

The green bandit understood what I meant, and a flying smile appeared on his face, making him look very beautiful.

He happily answered with a "Yes" and quickly went out to reply.

I told Lu Kou to go to Mrs. Xue, who was directly related to our Yang Family, to insult our Yang Family and let Mrs. Xue know what was going on. Then I told her to tell Mother about it and let her think that I had gone to Mrs. Xue for help in a panic. And Mrs. Xue, upon learning of her daughter's preposterous behavior, would be a little flustered no matter what. A smart person like Little Lu would definitely know how to seize the opportunity.

In five days, Eldest Miss Jiang's banquet will be held. I don't want to see Eldest Miss Xue's mournful face again.

I secretly let out a sigh of relief in my heart. At that time, the one who should be coming would be Miss Xue San!

Suddenly, a "peng" sound came from behind us. Miss Wen and I stopped and turned around.

Big Miss Xue stood there with a pale face. Her eyes were wide open as she pointed at me and said, "You … You … How can you do this? "

I pretended to be at a loss and turned around to ask Miss Wen, "What happened to me?"

Miss Wen forced a smile and shook her head.

I helped Miss Wen walk back to the brick bed slowly, took off her shoes and sat on the brick bed again.

With the previous episode and Miss Xue's eyes filled with hatred, everyone was no longer in the mood to talk. They lacked the cheerful atmosphere and could only talk nonchalantly.

A daughter-in-law dressed in a blue gown, with a shoehorn face and neatly combed hair entered the room. The door was followed by Lu Kuo and a first-class maidservant beside his mother, as well as a mother dressed in parrot green lake silk with a little oil silver hairpin.

It was the mother Feng who was standing beside her mother. She narrowed her long and thin eyes, laughed sharply, and said, "Ladies, the ladies are starting to prepare some food. Invite the ladies over."

The chubby white mother was with Mrs. Xue. She had followed her every step of the way when they were guests last time.

Behind my mother, Greenwood smiled and winked at me.

This mother Feng was a smart person. I didn't dare to wink at her, so I could only smile and exchange greetings with the ladies. "Let's go!"

Greenwood said something to her mother, who nodded slightly and kept her shrewd eyes on me.

I smiled at her.

Each of the ladies got off the brick bed one after another, under the care of their personal maidservants, and walked towards the outside of the screen in pairs or threes.

"Little sister, let me go with you!" I said.

I smiled and nodded, only to see Miss Wen's servant girl slowly putting on her shoes.

Not only was this Miss Wen intelligent, she had also raised the maids by her side with great agility.

Obviously, I wanted to know how Mrs. Xue would deal with her bold daughter, so Miss Wen immediately offered me an opportunity.

He was just dozing off when someone sent him a pillow!

I smiled gratefully at Miss Wen and helped her up from the kang.

Miss Wen was much taller than me, so she lowered her head and smiled warmly as she chatted about interesting things along the way.

We chatted and laughed as we slowly walked to the screen with our maidservants.

"Aiya, where's my earring?" Miss Wen cried out in alarm.

I suppressed my laughter and replied, "It was just in my sister's ears just now! I'm afraid it has fallen nearby! "

Miss Wen took my hand. "Sister, please search with me!"
