Chapter 300

This time, however, Yao Susu's luck ran out.

When they met Shen Rang, who knew how to exchange pleasantries, Shen Rang quickly revealed their intentions and almost dragged them back.

Having finally reached Zheng Shi, Yao Susu's words were rejected by Zheng Shi without a second thought.

"Don't be ridiculous. How can a concubine like you go out and show your face in public?"

"I didn't let her show her face in public, she's just keeping me company. I've even prepared a veil. Aunt, you can just say that she's my sister, but she's already married and we're hiding her to avoid trouble. That way, no one will suspect anything, right?"

Yao Susu's arrangements were so perfect that even Zheng couldn't find anything wrong with them.

Yao Susu turned her head and looked at Shen Rang who followed her in, and said, "Besides, since Aunt came to Luoyang, she has hardly ever been to the streets. Moreover, given Aunt's status, she should be attending these banquets, right?"

She said these words to Shen Rang, but they fell into Zheng Shi's ears.

Yunxi is a girl from the Yun family, and as Yao Susu said, she should indeed participate in these banquets.

This child has a hard life.

Madam Zheng sighed: "Fine, since you've already made the preparations, let's do it this way."

"But you mustn't drag your aunt around! After all, she's a concubine, and taking her to such a banquet is already extremely inappropriate. If we get caught, even I will be in trouble."

Yao Susu nodded quickly: "Don't worry, Auntie, I know what's important!"

After saying that, she turned to look at Shen Rang, who looked helpless, and raised her chin triumphantly.

Now that Zheng has agreed, it doesn't matter whether Shen Rang agrees or not.

Yao Susu turned and left triumphantly, and Shen Rang followed, saying, "When we get outside, take good care of her for me."

"I know, I know," Yao Susu said. "It was my insistence on taking her out. If anything happens to her, I won't be able to escape either!"

With Yao Susu's words and the thought of Zheng Shi being there, Shen Rang finally felt relieved.

However, Shen Rang was also very dissatisfied with Yao Susu's repeated attempts to take advantage of his vulnerability.

You can protect the front yard, but you can't protect this.

It's best to get rid of them as soon as possible.

Seeing Shen Rang's face suddenly turn cold and he stride away, Yao Susu watched his retreating figure, puzzled.

——

Two days later, the New Year holiday was completely over.

Shen Rang was transferred to the Ministry of Personnel, where he became even busier than before.

Meanwhile, Madam Zheng was also busy. She selected several good invitations from a thick stack and prepared to take Yunxi and Yao Susu to the banquet.

The main character is Yao Susu, so naturally Yao Susu has to dress up in her finest attire. Before dawn, she was already being pulled up to apply makeup.

Yunxi was a supporting character and was wearing a veil, so she hardly needed to tidy up. By the time Yao Susu had finished tidying up halfway, she slowly got out of bed, changed into a simple outfit, and put on the veil, which covered most of her figure. Even if someone very familiar with her stood in front of her, they probably wouldn't recognize her.

Jixiang circled around Yunxi to make sure nothing was amiss, then said, "Don't worry, Aunt, I will always be with you. If you need anything, just tell me anytime."

Le'an patted her hand lightly: "You should call her Madam!"

Yunxi's current identity is Yao Susu's married older sister!

"Oh right, right, right." Jixiang covered her mouth.

Behind the veil, Yunxi's expression was somewhat stiff.

Being called that suddenly makes me feel... kind of uncomfortable.
