Chapter 40: Face slapping in progress

Logically speaking, Nanny Sun was afraid that she would be sad, so she gave an ambiguous answer, but didn't this actually mean that Rong Chen would not go? After being driven out by Shu Wan that night, he had not appeared for several days.

It wasn't just Shu Wan. Chunhua and Qiuyue were also trembling with fear these past two days. They didn't dare to breathe, fearing that Rong Chen would appear in front of them in the blink of an eye. It would be better to kill them directly! So in fact, if Rong Chen didn't come, the three masters and servants would be happier than each other! ...

The next day Shu Wan got up very early.

She had become accustomed to being pulled by Nanny Sun's ears to wake her up.

She first let Chunhua Qiuyue and the others work on her face, and then went to pay her respects to Zhao.

She didn't come to Zhao's place for the past two days, and Zhao didn't blame her. The main reason was that Shu Wan didn't realize that she had become someone else's daughter-in-law. Sometimes she even felt dazed and wondered if she was dreaming.

Zhao talked to her for a while, three parts of which were true and seven parts were false, but they were still quite close. Then she returned to her own courtyard and waited until noon before going over to attend the meeting with Zhao.

Always ask the servants if everything is ready, so as not to make a fool of yourself.

The banquet was scheduled to start at noon, but people had already come to see Shu Wan early in the morning, but not everyone wanted to talk to her sincerely.

For example, Lin Qingqing, whose name was well-known to Shu Wan! "Meet the city lord's wife!" Lin Qingqing lived up to her name, wearing a blue pleated skirt embroidered with acacia flowers, with her hair full of pearls and jade, looking just like this.

She thought she looked very familiar with Shu Wan, with a fake smile on her face. She was sure that Shu Wan would run over to hold her hand and call her Sister Qingqing affectionately, just like before!

Only this time she was disappointed.

Shu Wanzuo didn't hear anything and just kept fiddling with the small boxes placed in front of the diamond-shaped bronze mirror.

"Chunhua, have you counted everything? Is there anything wrong?" Shu Wan asked again worriedly.

These are the gifts she will give to the successor lady later. These are the more important ones, so they are placed separately.

Long before Lin Qingqing and the others came, Shu Wan and the two maids had already counted everything several times, so there was no way there would be anything that was not thoughtful.

Shu Wan simply didn't want to see this green tea and white lotus.

Seeing this, Lin Qingqing felt a little embarrassed and her smile almost broke. Before in the front hall, she had secretly boasted in front of everyone, saying how good her relationship with Shu Wan was, and how they were close friends and so on.

But being fawned over and flattered by those short-sighted young ladies from aristocratic families really satisfied her vanity to a great extent.

Even when two people said they wanted to come and meet Shu Wan, she volunteered to bring them over, which really made others envious.

But now she was slapped in the face by Shu Wan. Where could she put her face? She hated and cursed Shu Wan in her heart, but the most important thing was Wen Nuan and Cai Jingshu standing behind her. She looked at them unnaturally. She had just said it, but now they saw her face being slapped.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

If they go back and tell others about it, won't her reputation be ruined? She will be looked down upon by those arrogant ladies, and how can she still have the face to stay at the banquet?
