Chapter 102 The Second Brother and the Third Sister Fell in Love

Xiangya Garden.

When Xie Shang and the others had finished their drinks, Jiang Fenghua arrived with Zhang Yumo.

To her surprise, Su Tingwan was also at the table. She was dressed the same as she had that morning, looking like a demure young lady, and sat next to Xie Shang.

Xie Shang looked up and saw Jiang Fenghua and Zhang Yumo appear at the door. She still went to bring Zhang Yumo along.

Sang Yupian, holding a wine glass, called out to her happily, "Fenghua, why are you here? I was asking Prince Heng why he didn't bring you with him. He said you went back to the Jiang residence. If I had known, your elder brother and I would have waited for you together."

Jiang Fenghua walked gracefully toward the table; her timing was truly inopportune.

Jiang Fenghua nodded slightly to Sang Yupianpian, "I did go back to the Jiang family, but some things happened afterward, so I went to the Duke of Zhang's mansion. It was only after inquiring that I learned you had come to Xiangya Garden."

She then said to Xie Shang, "I did not expect Consort Su to be here as well."

Xie Shang pointed to a man dressed in fine clothes and said, "I didn't know Wanwan would come. Brother Ji picked her up on his way to the manor." He seemed to be explaining.

Ji Chen smiled slightly at Jiang Fenghua and cupped his hands in greeting, "So this is Princess Heng. What a woman of unparalleled beauty. My apologies, sister-in-law."

Jiang Fenghua almost forgot about this person. Ji Chen was a good friend of Xie Shang from the common people. They were kindred spirits and had become sworn brothers. He had also become sworn brothers with Su Tingwan. He always called Su Tingwan his third sister, while Xie Shang was his second brother. He was their eldest brother.

This relationship is really complicated. The second brother and the third sister fell in love and got married.

Jiang Fenghua said gently, "Greetings, Young Master Ji." So this was the friend Xie Shang wanted to meet.

She had no good feelings towards Ji Chen because in her previous life, Ji Chen frequently visited the Heng Prince's Mansion and even harassed her. She didn't know if it was at Su Tingwan's behest or if it was just his nature.

It is said that one should not covet one's brother's wife, but he was shameless. In her previous life, Xie Shang even misunderstood her, saying that she seduced Ji Chen. In order to prove her innocence, she stayed in her own courtyard and never left the mansion.

"Big brother, I need to talk to you." Jiang Fenghua walked to Jiang Jinyan's side and said softly. She planned to let Zhang Yumo find out the details before leaving.

Jiang Jinyan rarely spoke throughout the banquet. He was the first to arrive, followed by Xie Shang, and then the woman surnamed Ji arrived a moment later. Behind him was Xie Shang's concubine. He wanted to leave then, but Sang Yu Pianpian made him stay, saying there was a good show to watch. The show hasn't started yet, but his sister Ruan Ruan has arrived. I wonder if she will be unhappy to see Su Tingwan here!

He was also a little angry, but Su Tingwan wasn't brought by Prince Heng.

“Let’s go outside and talk!” Jiang Jinyan stood up.

Sang Yupian pulled him along, "Since the princess is here, let's sit down and have a drink together!"

She looked at Zhang Yumo, "Is this young lady a friend of the Princess? Let's go together!"

Zhang Yumo was stunned when she saw Sang Yupianpian. She stood there motionless. It turned out that the woman who had moved into the Jiang residence was the princess of Chaoxi Kingdom. Why hadn't Fenghua told her?

At this moment, Sang Yupianpian offered her seat. The private room was very large, with a large round table inside that could seat more than a dozen people.

Sang Yupian pulled Jiang Fenghua to sit next to Xie Shang, and then had Zhang Yumo sit next to Jiang Fenghua in the same spot she had been sitting in. Zhang Yumo ended up sitting on Jiang Jinyan's side, and since there were no empty seats, she moved to the other side of Jiang Jinyan, which was the other side of Ji Chen.

Su Tingwan sat between Ji Chen and Xie Shang. In fact, Su Tingwan's position had not changed; she had always sat between the two of them.

For a moment, the atmosphere froze. The waiter served tea and placed the teapot in front of Jiang Fenghua, saying, "This is for you, my boss." He deliberately didn't mention that it was for everyone else.

The waiter was very considerate and poured a cup for Jiang Fenghua, which immediately filled the air with a fragrant aroma.

Jiang Fenghua naturally knew that Lin Yu had prepared this for her. She took the teapot and poured a cup for Zhang Yumo. She looked at Sang Yupianpian and asked, "Miss Pianpian, would you like some tea?"

She said, "It smells so good! What kind of tea is this? It smells delicious."

“Pu’er tea,” Jiang Fenghua explained. “This was a tribute to the royal family, but even wealthy people could obtain it, which is why it is extremely precious.”

After pouring three cups, there was hardly any tea left in the teapot. She said to the waiter, "Your manager is too stingy. How can such a small teapot be enough for everyone?"

The waiter said awkwardly, "The manager intended to offer this drink to Princess Heng, but he only asked me to bring it up after seeing her enter the building. Princess Heng, please enjoy it."

After saying that, the waiter respectfully withdrew, and Jiang Fenghua also began to feel embarrassed. She glanced at Xie Shang.

Xie Shang's mind wasn't on the tea; rather, it was on her face that it seemed she had brought Zhang Yumo along to force her elder brother to declare his intention to marry Zhang Yumo.

She winked at Xie Shang and pushed the tea towards him, "Your Highness, have some tea to soothe your palate!"

"I'm not drunk yet, Your Highness, please have some tea." Xie Shang was somewhat displeased that she continued to meddle in Zhang Yumo's affairs.

"What's the point of drinking tea? Let's continue drinking." Ji Chen suddenly raised his glass and said to Su Tingwan, "What are you daydreaming about, Third Sister!" He was clearly there to support Su Tingwan.

Su Tingwan raised her wine glass. She actually had a pretty good alcohol tolerance. She took a small sip and said, "Toast to Brother Wanwan."

Sang Yupianpian raised her teacup, "I also enjoy drinking tea. Let me offer a toast to the Princess and..."

Knowing Sang Yupianpian's identity, Zhang Yumo also picked up her teacup. "Zhang Yumo, let me offer you tea instead of wine!"

"Please, Miss Zhang." Sang Yupian was full of heroic spirit.

Zhang Yumo felt that she was upright and honest, not only beautiful, but also very approachable. Jiang Jinyan would probably fall for a woman like Princess Pianpian.

Su Tingwan was annoyed by the three of them constantly toasting each other, especially after being defeated by Sang Yupianpian last time. She was still unconvinced and suddenly suggested, "Let's play a game, just like before, whoever loses drinks."

She then looked at Xie Shang.

“Sure, I love playing games.” Sang Yu Pianpian knew Su Tingwan’s identity, but she just couldn’t stand this kind of pretentious woman. She added, “I know a really fun game. I wonder if Consort Su knows how to play it.”

Knowing her identity, Su Tingwan dared not be presumptuous in front of her. "Please speak, Miss Pianpian."

Sang Yupianpian explained the rules again, and then said, "Whoever can't finish the drink has to drink, and no one is allowed to take their place."

The maids were all sent outside so as not to disturb their masters. Lianye came to Xiangya Tower as if she had come home. Yinxing silently followed her, constantly looking into the private room. Now Zhang Yumo's maid was also waiting on the side. Yinxing kept trying to get close to her, "Why did your young lady come with Princess Heng?"

The maid was stunned for a moment, and was about to say something when Lianye pulled her aside, "What's the point of talking to her? I'll take you to eat something delicious."

Lin Feng suddenly stopped her, "I want to go eat something delicious too."

Lianye glared at him, "Go eat shit with your Ginkgo sister!" The two of them were chatting happily just now.
