My mother rashly attributed this completely new banquet to me, and it was hard not to make people suspicious. Grandmother's meaning was to imply that since the open banquet was prepared by me, naturally, outsiders would think that the banquet was also handled by me. If there was any problem with the ladies, it was naturally my fault.

The easiest thing to do was to eat.

If the ladies came to my place to drink a cup of tea, eat a pastry, and get poisoned, and everyone is a young lady of similar age, it would be hard to not think about it.

The gossip never ends with the wise!

I pursed my lips and smiled at Grandmother. "A few days ago, Shopkeeper Xiao sent over a packet of this year's new tea. It was light in color and you didn't like it, so I left it here on my own. With the rose cake and peach cake made a few days ago, the horseshoes and hazelnuts cake made a while ago, everything has been arranged!"

Grandmother nodded in satisfaction and smiled, "Then, your little sister can go play!"

I bowed down and said goodbye to the Lady Xu and Grandmother.

All the young misses had always spoken the words of their respective elders. The ladies all smiled as they instructed their daughters to not quarrel and abide by the rules.

I will accompany the ladies of the Xu family to speak to the ladies.

Lady Xu smiled and said to her little sister-in-law who had just entered the room, "You are still young, and you're too impatient for us to say these things. Bring them along to play!"

This Mrs. Xu really knows how to talk!

I am the host, but in name Mrs. Xu is a woman. Although they were only a few years apart, let alone in my yard, but Mrs. Xu Da Tang still crowned Mrs. Xu Si to take care of us.

When Second Madam Xu heard her elder sister-in-law's unflustered flattery, she gave a mocking smile as if she didn't care at all.

Mrs Xu smiled gratefully at her sister-in-law, her face flushed red as she smiled shyly, "Thank you so much for your kindness, sister-in-law!" "But since Granny is still here, I will serve with sister-in-law!"

Lady Xu's expression was a little unnatural when she heard this.

It was only natural for a daughter-in-law to wait upon her mother-in-law, but she went beyond her duty to persuade the Fourth Wife to play.

Second Miss Xu laughed and said, "Aunt is worried that we will cause trouble, right? With big sister here, we will definitely be fine and won't argue! "

Second Miss Xu had not only helped the eldest wife, but had also flattered Fourth Madam that she was a very meticulous person, and had been asked to look after the children.

Lady Xu smiled benevolently, "Our Chen'er is the most sensible one!"

Second Madam Xu looked at her daughter with an expression full of resentment.

Second Miss Xu was indeed a very interesting person!

Such a smart girl would always attract tender affection towards her.

However, the other smart person, Miss Xue, who had some difficulties in her marriage, never showed up. Mrs. Xue sat beside Mrs. Xue with her handkerchief in her hands, her face ashen.

Ning Lin pulled on Third Wife's sleeve, pouting as she begged for her sister.

Mrs. Xue glanced at her sister-in-law with a smile that was not a smile. She helped the Fifth Miss arrange the hanging ears of this jade pendant while coaxing her softly, "Be good! "Your sister is not feeling well, if she wants to rest, go play with your cousin!"

Second Miss Jiang, who was standing in front of Lady Jiang, burst out in laughter.

Mrs. Xue grew more and more uneasy, her face blushing.

Lady Jiang stared at Second Miss Jiang and waved at me with a smile. "Yuanyuan, come to auntie's place!"

I excused myself from the ladies of the Xu family and went to pay my respects to Lady Jiang.

With a face full of smiles, Lady Jiang helped me up. Her smile was even more joyous than meeting her own daughter.

"Your sister is a straightforward person. If you don't mind offending her with words, don't lower yourself to her level. Just tell me and I'll take care of her for you!"

This was truly an attack from the east, an attack from the west. Surrounding Wei and saving Zhao!

Madame Jiang's words were much better than Second Young Miss Jiang's mockery!

He was blatantly bullying Mrs. Xue for not knowing what was the right thing to do. He wanted to be on the same level as a child, but no one could find fault with him!

However, Second Miss Jiang did not understand and her face turned red from anger. She pulled Lady Jiang's sleeves and whispered, "Mother! I don't! "

Lady Jiang smiled helplessly at me. I suppressed the smile on my face and seriously replied, "Elder sister's heart is pure and kind. Her words are straightforward and lovable. How could she have offended me?"

Lady Jiang smiled and pulled my hand. She turned her head and instructed her daughter, "Follow your little sister and don't create trouble for her. You are not someone to be trifled with. Remember to help her!"

"Look at Aunt's words!" I politely greeted her and pulled on Second Miss Jiang's hand.

No matter how calm she was, Mrs. Xue still couldn't sit still. She turned her head to look at Mrs. Xue, her body trembling slightly in anger.

Mrs. Xue's voice was clearer, like pearls dropping on a jade plate. With a clear voice, she said, "Yuanyuan, come to auntie's place!"

I had to bend my knees slightly to Madame Chiang, who nodded slowly at me and took a sip from the pink longevity peach teacup on the table.

Mrs. Xue looked at me with a cheerful expression. She smiled as she helped me to arrange my normally unmessy clothes. Her vermilion nails were especially conspicuous.

"Your eldest cousin is not feeling well, but your cousin is exactly the age to play! I can only trouble you to help me bring her along. "

Third Wife's meaning is, each of the nine sons of the dragon, your Lady Jiang said Miss Xue does not care, but should not be scolded her daughter in the same way.

Mrs. Xue's eyes were filled with bitter surprise when she looked at her sister-in-law.

The ladies present were all intelligent people. Who wouldn't feel good after hearing this? They would laugh a few times, but on the surface, they would pretend that nothing had happened!

The Third Madam then instructed Fifth Miss Xue's wet nurse and maids in front of everyone else to take good care of the young lady and not insult her.

On the surface, Madame Jiang still looked calm and collected, and her tasting of the tea was not the slightest bit disorderly.

It wasn't easy for him to get a round of socialising, so the head maid by his mother's side came in with a play book and said, "Madam, the Diao Cui Hall is ready!"

The Dian Cui Tang was located on the west side of the garden. Inside, there was a small stage, which was the place that usually entertained and entertained the female servants.

"Since the children are here to have fun, let's not hold it in!" The mother smiled and walked around inviting the ladies, like a butterfly among the flowers.

The other madams stood up and teased their mother, "If you don't like the sound of it, you'll have to disturb your ancestor to listen for ten days!"

The mother teased, "Our family's old lady doesn't have anything else, so we can afford to take out this little bit of free money. Just bring it along!"

Grandmother pretended to wince and tug at Madam Xu, "Look at what kind of wives they are! Look at our old money boxes! "

Lady Xu smiled and replied, "Didn't you save the money for them? And spend it in the coffin? "

The two ancestors held hands as they talked about their hard work at the head of the family. Their mother and Mrs. Xu came forward to help them get up, while the female family members escorted the two ancestors out of the house.

We ladies followed the ladies all the way to the entrance of the garden before we parted with them and headed east and west.

It was the time when the flowers were fragrant and the birds were chirping merrily. Everyone was enjoying the scenery along the way.

Second Miss Jiang and I walked side by side in front. I asked her in detail what her sister did at home every day and how she was feeling. Even her elder brother wanted a fan when he saw it. He asked her elder sister several times, but her elder sister did not give it to him. She carefully received the fan and locked it. I asked her what happened after that.

Halfway there, I met my second servant girl, Lan Xiang, with a group of young maidservants carrying bamboo baskets of flowers. When they saw us coming over, they hurriedly squatted down to greet us.

Lan Lingyun, who was standing behind me, used a serious voice to ask her, "What are you guys doing?"

Lan Xiang's smile appeared respectful yet clever. She replied in a very obedient manner, "Sister Lan Zhi knows that the ladies are coming. Let me pick some flowers to decorate the house."

Lan Ling nodded in satisfaction.

Ever since the reforms in my courtyard last time, more and more people saw the hope by my side, and everyone became more and more careful.

It was natural for people to walk higher and water to flow lower.

This kind of thing would only bring me hundreds of benefits without any harm!

When the only way out is to serve the Lord faithfully, I can only do many things with greater ease.

Second Miss Jiang smiled and whispered into my ear, "You are so gentle and sweet, how can a maidservant be so powerful!"

I couldn't help but be stunned. I was actually a very gentle person in Second Miss Jiang's heart!

I smiled and glanced at Lan Ling. It was obvious that she had also heard what Second Miss Jiang said. Although her face was slightly red, she still stood as straight as a pine tree.

"I don't know either!" I softly replied to Second Miss Jiang and gently squeezed her hand.

Second Miss Jiang gave a mischievous smile and said: "It must be that you are too ignorant and that the heavens gave you such a maid!"

[There is actually someone who thinks I don't know what to do!]

She wondered how Aunt Chen would feel after hearing these words. Would she cry?

I smiled at the thought.

I specifically asked Lan Li to send a letter to Aunt Chen. According to her cautious personality, she shouldn't be in any trouble.

To be honest, I still look forward to the life in Aunt Chen's stomach.

I've never seen a newborn before in my previous life. Didn't he know that it was born to be such a tender and lovable snowy white?

When the child is born, the grandmother will probably be taken care of in her own room!

I often go to Grandmother's house, and Grandmother might even ask me to help her with the baby. Little by little, the baby will grow up in my eyes, and then I'll take the sugar and tease her or him to call me "sister."

Thinking of that childish voice and tottering gait, it was as if his heart had been melted inside.

My heart is filled with gratitude for this opportunity that the heavens have bestowed upon me.

The only regret he had was because of the child he had missed.

I had felt him growing up inside me, kicking me occasionally with his little feet, as if he were playing a game with me.

He wondered if he had a new life.

While he was immersed in his reverie, a loud noise suddenly came from behind.

I hurriedly calmed my mind and turned around to take a look.
