When the capital city was in turmoil, the wife of Marquis Shunyi gave birth to a baby boy. Old Madam Fu wanted to hold a banquet but was stopped by Heng Youyi.

"Mother, the Marquis has only been dead for a short time. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to hold a full-month banquet for the baby now." Heng Youyi consoled.

"What's wrong with that? Wenlin is gone, and we who are still alive have to continue living. I have to let the people in the capital know that our mansion has successors. We can't let anyone look down on us."

Ever since Fu Wenlin left, the entire mansion has returned to its former calmness, and few dignitaries have sent visiting cards to the mansion.

This sudden change made Mrs. Fu very uncomfortable.

She was eager to restore the glory of the Marquisate, so she was not aware of the panic outside.

In the court, the Jiang family joined forces with Prince Qin and Prince Yun to deal with Prince Jing. No matter how powerful Prince Jing was, he seemed to be struggling.

Just as the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were arguing about the baby's full-month banquet, the housekeeper hurried over.

"Ma'am, someone has delivered a letter."

Heng Youyi took the letter from the steward, and his expression changed slightly after reading its contents.

"Mom, I'll listen to you about the baby's full moon banquet. Since we're going to have a big one, how about inviting all the dignitaries in Shangjing City?"

Madam Fu looked suspicious, "Who gave you the letter?"

"My parents." Heng Youyi replied calmly without changing her expression. He knew what she was doubting and continued, "My father asked me if I wanted to hold a full-month banquet. If so, he would pay for it."

When Madam Fu heard this, her eyes lit up, and her doubts immediately disappeared. She smiled and said, "My father-in-law is thoughtful. Youyi, Wenlin is gone, and you will be the head of the mansion from now on. This full moon banquet is the first wedding event held in our mansion after Wenlin's death, so we must not be careless. We must let those who laugh at us take a good look at the glory of our mansion."

The meaning of this statement is almost the same: the wedding must be held luxuriously and grandly.

It turns out that I don’t have to use my own money, so I don’t feel bad at all.

Heng Youyi nodded obediently, "My wife knows."

"You should take a good rest. I asked the kitchen to make some tonic for you to nourish your body."

After giving her instructions, Mrs. Fu left with the help of Mother Zhao.

As soon as she left, Heng Youyi's expression suddenly turned cold. If she didn't want to arouse suspicion, Heng Youyi really wanted to send this greedy old man to reunite with her son as soon as possible.

"Xiao Cui."

Xiao Cui walked into the bedroom, "Madam."

"Let the old man go to sleep. Go get the car ready. I need to go out for a while."

"good."

Half an incense stick later, Heng Youyi disguised herself as a shopping maid and sneaked out of the mansion. After leaving the mansion for a distance, she sneaked into a carriage.

"Go to Heng's house."

A cup of tea later, when the carriage stopped, the driver's dull voice sounded from inside the carriage.

"Ma'am, we're here."

Xiao Cui lifted the car curtain and looked at the unfamiliar alley, her expression changed slightly.

"This is not Heng's house. Who are you?"

Heng Youyi heard the voice, stuck his head out, looked at this unfamiliar place, and looked at the other party warily.

"Who are you?"

Facing the questioning from the master and servant, the driver was very calm, "Don't be nervous, Madam Hou, I mean no harm. My master wants to reminisce with you."

The master and servant got out of the car. Xiao Cui was a little nervous, "Madam, we..."

Heng Youyi patted her hands, signaling her not to worry.

"please."

The coachman led the two into an ordinary house. After stepping into the yard, they found that there was a different world inside. The small house was decorated quietly and elegantly, exuding elegance and nobility everywhere.

When entering the backyard, Xiao Cui was stopped by two murderous guards.

"The master only allowed the Marquis's wife to go through."

Heng Youyi shook his head at Xiao Cui and said, "I'll be back soon, don't worry."

Entering the garden, you will see flower beds full of gorgeous flowers. The long stone path is surrounded by clusters of wild flowers. Walking on the path is like being in a sea of ​​flowers. The gentle breeze of early summer blows gently, and your nose is greeted by bursts of refreshing fragrance.

Heng Youyi was attracted by the scenery in the garden for a moment, but soon she noticed the pavilion standing in the middle of the flower bed. In the pavilion, a man was standing with his back to her and his hands behind his back.

Heng Youyi stepped forward and bowed to the man with a dignified bearing, "I greet you, Your Majesty. Long live the prince."

Song Yunhe turned around slowly and raised the folding fan in his hand gently, "Madam, please don't go through these empty formalities. The Heng family and this prince have a deep friendship."

"I dare not." Heng Youyi lowered his head and looked submissive.

"I heard that Madam gave birth to a baby boy. It's really cause for celebration." Song Yunhe motioned for the other party to sit down.

Heng Youyi sat at the bottom and listened quietly throughout.

"The full moon party must be held properly."

"Wenlin is no longer with us, but he has done me a great favor. If you let Madam take care of the baby's full moon banquet alone, it will be too much work for you. How about this, I will send a group of people to assist you."

"Your Majesty, this is not good, right? If outsiders knew about this, it would be detrimental to our reputation."

"Don't worry, the person was sent by the Heng family, and it has nothing to do with me. Madam Hou, don't worry."

"But……"

"You and I know this, and no one else will know it. Don't be in a hurry to tell the person who just sent you the letter." Song Yunhe smiled and said something that made Heng Youyi tremble with fear.

Song Yunhe looked at her surprised expression and said with a smile: "If Madam Hou wants to continue her prosperity and wealth, you should think carefully about which side you should stand on."

Heng Youyi felt bitter. She really didn't expect that her adopted son's full moon party would become the target of public criticism.

The secret letter just now was sent from the Royal Concubine in the palace. It only said one thing, that there would be a grand full-month banquet and she would come to share in the blessing of the child.

Get some good luck?

Heng Youyi didn't believe this at all.

She originally wanted to inform Su Yin through her parents' home, but unexpectedly she was brought here by Prince Jing, who also had his eyes on the child's full moon banquet.

No matter how slow-witted she was, she knew that this full moon banquet would be bloody.

Su Yin had asked her to postpone it before, but she wanted to give birth to the baby in advance so that she could go out and avoid the danger. She never thought that giving birth to the baby in advance would become a tool in their hands.

She didn't even have the power to refuse.

Once she refused, the palace would not let her go, and neither would Prince Jing.

Heng Youyi knew that now was the time for her to express her stance. "The Heng family follows the prince's lead, and so does the Marquis' Mansion."

She knelt down to show her loyalty.

"Madam Hou has just given birth. Don't kneel down at will. The ground is cold." Song Yunhe gently helped her up with the folding fan in his hand.

Half an incense stick later, Heng Youyi left this unremarkable house, and the coachman took her to Heng's house.
