Chapter 218 Banquet 2

The banquet halls for male and female guests were separated by a pavilion.

The female guests are on this side of the pavilion, and the male guests are on the opposite side.

After entering the banquet, Bai Jinyu took Jiang Yueyao to one of the noble ladies.

"This is Princess Jingzhao, and also my best friend." Bai Jinyu looked at the other person with a smile.

Jiang Yueyao bowed and said, "Xiaoqi greets the princess."

Princess Jingzhao stood up and took her hand. Before she could say anything, her eyes were red.

"It turns out that our little Baoqi looks exactly like your mother when she was young."

As she spoke, she reached out to take the rosewood brocade box handed to her by the maid and handed it to Jiang Yueyao.

"The moment I knew you were coming back, I hired someone to beat you up."

Jiang Yueyao subconsciously looked at Bai Jinyu beside her.

Bai Jinyu smiled and nodded at her: "Take it."

Jiang Yueyao took it and bowed again to express her gratitude: "Thank you, Princess."

The eldest princess held her hand again and talked for a long time before being led by Bai Jinyu to meet the other guests.

After this round, Jiang Yueyao received so many gifts that she was overwhelmed.

At this moment, she also deeply understood why her father always said that your mother was very popular in the capital, and she was beautiful and kind-hearted. Who wouldn't like her?

After this trip, she also got to know many girls of the same age as her.

She was surrounded by a group of girls, all of whom were chattering away.

"So Shopkeeper Jiang is the Shen family's long-lost youngest daughter?"

"Fate is so magical. You found your way home after wandering around for so many years. But it must have been hard for you to be away from home for so many years, right?"

Jiang Yueyao smiled gently: "Fortunately, my adoptive mother treats me very well."

“Sister Shen is a blessed person at first glance.”

Meng Zhixia squeezed in from the crowd.

“Oh, you guys surrounded me so tightly, I almost couldn’t find Sister Shen.”

Someone nearby teased her, "Meng Zhixia, I heard you were crying a few days ago? Were you bullied by Zhang Chenyang again?"

The person who spoke was Miss Zhang from the Deyang Marquis Mansion. Zhang Chenyang was her cousin, two years older than Meng Zhixia. Every time he saw her, he would bully her.

Every time, Meng Zhixia would be made to cry by him.

As soon as Meng Zhixia heard the name 'Zhang Chenyang', her face changed.

"Sister Zhang, don't mention him. I've already broken up with him."

As she spoke, she pulled Jiang Yueyao out of the crowd. Not far ahead stood Meng Zhiye and Yuan Shuyan, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

Yuan Shuyan looked at her with a smile in her eyes: “Now it’s time to call me Sister Shen.”

"It's been a long time since we last met. I heard that you got engaged. Congratulations." Jiang Yueyao looked at her and said with a smile.

"Yes." Yuan Shuyan took Meng Zhiye's hand, "Now we are in the same group. We are both engaged. I don't have much in common with you, my little sister."

"Hey, what topic? What topic do you two want to talk about? Maybe I understand it better than you two." Jiang Yueyao reached out to tickle her, and Yuan Shuyan hurriedly hid behind Meng Zhiye.

Meng Zhixia also came over to join in the fun, and the four girls immediately burst into laughter.

After playing for a while, the four of them found a place to sit down. Jiang Yueyao had just taken a few sips of tea when Jinzi came over and whispered in her ear.

"Qingxuan just came to tell his subordinates that the Regent went to your courtyard."

Jiang Yueyao smiled lightly, put down the teacup in her hand and stood up.

She raised her eyebrows at the three people who were looking at her, led Jinzi over to say something to her mother, and then left the banquet.

The banquet was not close to her Baozhu Tower. She walked quickly with the gold and just as she walked out of the garden, she met Lu Hengqing.

The moment she saw Lu Hengqing, Jiang Yueyao suddenly felt as if she was in another world.

The last time I saw him was at the Royal Summer Resort in July last year.

After that, I never saw him again.

From July last year to May this year, almost a year, he seemed to have lived a normal life.

Although he was wearing gorgeous clothes, he no longer had the high spirits that he had when I met him in the capital last year. Now he exuded a gloomy air.

She didn't want to get entangled with him anymore, so she turned around and was about to cross the side path, but was stopped by Lu Hengqing.

"Yaoyao..." His voice sounded a little anxious.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he was kicked to the ground by Jinzi.

"How dare you, this blind person, block my daughter's way!"

Jiang Yueyao glanced at Lu Hengqing who was lying on the ground, then looked at Jin Zi who was protecting her, and really wanted to applaud and cheer for her.

Lu Hengqing, who was lying on the ground, looked at the gold in disbelief.

"you……"

"What do you mean? A good dog doesn't block the road, get out of here!" She stepped forward and kicked Lu Hengqing aside, then turned back to support Jiang Yueyao, "Go away, girl, this is bad luck."

Jiang Yueyao followed her for a few steps.

Lu Hengqing's exasperated voice came from behind him.

"Jiang Yueyao, don't you care about our past relationship at all now?"

Jiang Yueyao originally didn't want to pay attention to him.

When I heard this, I couldn't help but stopped.

She turned around and looked back at Lu Hengqing who had already climbed up from the ground, and suddenly found it quite amusing.

"Your last name is Lu, and mine is Shen. How can there be any connection between us?"

Lu Hengqing said anxiously, "I don't believe you've forgotten the seven years we spent in Sucheng."

"You won't forget how kind you were to me before. When I was studying at the academy, you went there every day, worried that I would be cold and hungry. But now, you allow the maidservants around you to bully me."

"Jiang Yueyao, you have changed."

When Lu Hengqing said this, an expression of deep sorrow appeared on his face, as if Jiang Yueyao had failed him and done something wrong to him.

Face his accusations.

Jiang Yueyao no longer had the same fierce rebuttal as before.

She looked at Lu Hengqing calmly: "I've already ended what happened between us. There's nothing left to say to each other."

Previously, Lu Hengqing's father gave her six thousand taels of silver notes.

Jiang Yueyao calculated that although Lu Hengqing had not spent six thousand taels of her money in the past seven years, the amount she had given him in these seven years was more than six thousand taels.

But now that it has come to this, she doesn't want to get entangled anymore and just wants to sever ties with Lu Hengqing.

Now, he came to her again to talk about their old relationship...

She just thought it was ridiculous.

"You've always been a pushover, and you've come to see me today. Could it be that you've seen my new status and you're trying to establish a relationship with me?"

Lu Hengqing looked humiliated.

"Yaoyao, am I this kind of person in your heart?"

"You are, you are a hundred times more disgusting than this kind of person!" Jiang Yueyao glared at him, "I don't want to talk about the past anymore. Every time I mention it, I'm disgusting myself."

"Lu Hengqing, if you have any sense, you should stay away from me. Otherwise, if my father and brother see you, you will be killed or even skinned alive."

Lu Hengqing's expression changed.

When I think of Shen Huaishan's methods...

He turned and left.

But after taking a few steps, he stopped again.

His eyes are full of affection.

"Yaoyao, I regret it."

"I've been dreaming a lot lately. I dreamed of the small courtyard where you and I lived in Suzhou. You were standing at the desk, and I was holding a pen and teaching you how to write. Those times were so good, but I didn't cherish them."

"If I had the chance to do it again, I would..."

"roll!"

Jinzi couldn't bear it any longer and rushed over to kick him again.

Lu Hengqing turned around and ran, running faster than a rabbit.

The scene was so funny that Jiang Yueyao held her stomach and bent over with laughter.

Jinzi put his hands on his hips, looked at Lu Hengqing running away, and waved his fist angrily.

"What the hell are you talking about? Why don't you take a piss and look in the mirror? How can you be worthy of my girl?"
