Chapter 495 Are you bored?

Before coming, Yu Tingwan took great pains to recognize the portraits of all the female guests. She could greet every lady and girl who came to register with ease.

The five imperial concubines were watching her eagerly, gritting their teeth.

Yu Tingwan ignored them and said to the woman closest to her.

"I heard the good news that Madam Liu's daughter-in-law is pregnant."

Madam Liu was very nervous when she was named.

Her husband was promoted and transferred to the capital two months ago to work. Although the whole family has settled down, they are still unfamiliar with the place.

The aristocratic families in the capital have their own circles. The noble ladies have their own circles.

She had no one she knew, and she couldn't squeeze in. She was out of place.

But she didn't expect that the general's wife actually knew her!

She said quickly, "Yes."

"I wanted her to come here to see the ladies, but she was not up to the task. She caught a cold last night, so I didn't dare to let her go out."

Yu Tingwan said softly, "Don't be nervous. I don't blame you. Her health is the most important thing."

"It's her blessing to have a good mother-in-law like you who cares about her health."

After saying that, she seemed to think of something, "But I don't know if the Fifth Imperial Concubine will blame you?" She

was so angry.

The Fifth Imperial Concubine:...

I say you don't know etiquette, but at least you know whose land you are stepping on.

You can say you know etiquette, so why is it your turn to be the shopkeeper here?

Her face was stiff.

"No."

"That's good."

Yu Tingwan: "Although I haven't given birth, I know it's not easy for a woman to be pregnant. You have to take good care of yourself. I remember that the Fifth Imperial Concubine has a few wild ginsengs, but I don't know if she will give them up."

Madam Liu was flattered, "This... How can this be possible?"

The Fifth Imperial Concubine was led by the nose for no reason.

But in public.

"It's just a few wild ginsengs, not worth much."

Madam Liu was grateful.

"Thank you, Fifth Imperial Concubine!" The Fifth

Imperial Concubine acted very calmly: "No problem.

" Madam Liu: "Thank you, Madam Wei!"

Fifth Imperial Concubine? ? ?

What are you thanking her for?

Madam Liu: "Madam Wei is indeed as beautiful and kind as the rumors say."

She praised.

Yu Tingwan's eyes curved.

Seeing this, the crowd followed suit.

Praises came one after another.

One sentence was not finished, another sentence started.

They wanted to praise Yu Tingwan to the sky.

Some ladies from noble families noticed something was wrong. The Fifth Prince's wife stared at Yu Tingwan, and the gloom in her eyes could hardly be hidden.

They didn't think deeply.

It was really that the Fifth Imperial Concubine's usual style was not very good.

Then it must be that the Fifth Imperial Concubine was not authentic.

Yes.

No one suspected that Yu Tingwan was looking for trouble and deliberately disgusting people.

Who would do such a thing to hurt others?

Yu Tingwan smiled.

"Ladies, stop praising me. Aren't you here today with the world in your heart and selfless dedication?"

The crowd fell silent.

It fell into an awkward silence.

Who has the world in their heart?

Although the aristocratic families are prominent, most of them are short of money.

On the outside, they look like they have luxurious clothes, delicious food, and servants everywhere, but on the inside, they have to carefully calculate every penny of respectability.

Not to mention the betrothal gifts and dowries for their children's weddings, the monthly food and the regular silver for the hundreds of servants are a considerable expense.

Even the maids in the kitchen know that the more glamorous the banquets are, the more busy the accounting office will be tomorrow.

They are just women, how can they care about others. They

came here just because the five imperial concubines sent an invitation.

They dared not refuse. They

complained in their hearts, but they still pretended to be rich before coming, bringing a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, for fear that they would be outdone if they gave too little.

Yu Tingwan saw their expressions.

"Although you don't ask for anything in return, the Queen Mother is also very concerned about this fundraising. I will take the registration book to the palace and let her review it later."

"It will also let her know that our men are dedicated to the court, and the women in the backyard are no different."

Everyone: ? ? ?

Then the fundraising is meaningful.

They were shocked and their eyes lit up.

The Fifth Imperial Concubine could not bear it any longer.

"General's wife."

"Since I'm here, you don't have to worry about these things."

Why steal her credit!

Are you bored?

"Come on, help the general's wife up."

The maids and servants beside were waiting for the Fifth Imperial Concubine to give orders.

As soon as the voice fell, they all took action.

But before anyone could get close to Yu Tingwan, and before Tan Jiang could make a move, Gu Wu suddenly stood up and slammed the table.

With a bang.

"Who dares to touch my sister."

Shen Zhiyi was happy.

"Why are you jumping up and down?"

"The Fifth Imperial Concubine is of noble status, so what if she touches Yu Tingwan? Yu Tingwan is just a minister's wife, and she can only bear it."

Gu Wu didn't like to hear this.

Her sister could endure it, but she couldn't.

"If I hadn't known that my sister was here today, I wouldn't have come!"

"The Gu family owns many granaries, and these days, there are cartloads of grain being transported to the disaster area. It doesn't need to go through the Fifth Prince's Consort to do good deeds."

She sneered.

"The Shunguo Mansion also has connections, and has sent many people to distribute porridge in the disaster area. It's just that my sister is kind-hearted and insisted on coming this time, not wanting to offend the Fifth Princess."

"But the Fifth Princess is so good, playing tricks on her!"

"What's the matter? Even if you are the daughter-in-law of the royal family, you can't treat the young lady of the Shunguo Mansion as a fool, calling her here and sending her away at will, right?"

Gu Wu was very angry.

"Sister, let's go."

"After all the hard work, I'm still despised."

As she said that, she pulled Yu Tingwan up.

Shen Zhiyi stood up.

"If you leave, I'll leave too."

She accurately picked out the things that Yu Tingwan brought, Gu Wu brought, and the box of jewels and banknotes she brought from the pile of "small mountains".

She said to Yu Tingwan.

"I'll give you the share of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion later, just help me deal with it."

Shen Zhiyi even shouted to Madam Shen in the crowd.

"Mom, give me the one in your hand too. My daughter has a way, so there's no need to trouble the Fifth Prince's Consort."

This was unexpected.

Many people present were itching.

Madam Ningguo, who had been drinking tea on the side and had not registered yet, stood up and bowed to the Fifth Prince's Consort.

"I'm leaving too."

She walked towards Yu Tingwan.

"I haven't seen your mother-in-law for a long time. I'll go to your house to see her."

She moved.

The women who were related to Gu Fuju and Jiashan also stood up and saluted the Fifth Imperial Consort.

"I'm leaving."

Some people had registered, and Shen Zhiyi helped them take out the boxes they had handed in.

Lu Shiying took Madam Lu's hand and lowered her voice when she saw this: "Mom, why don't we also..."

Madam Lu shook her head at her.

The Lu family was already in decline, but they still didn't have the confidence to challenge the Fifth Imperial Consort.

The Fifth Concubine was shocked.

Seeing these people leave without saying anything, she could not care about anything else.

If she messed up and ruined her reputation, how could she report to Ying Yin?

She hurriedly chased after him and lowered her status.

"Everyone."

"Even if Madam Wei didn't mention it, I would have made a list."

"It's all a misunderstanding."

"I didn't make it difficult for the general's wife, but she is a guest after all, there is no reason to let her work hard."
