After finally getting the two young ladies away, they went to reply to Manager Wu, and only then were the three of them able to have a good chat.

Liu Wanyun took out the three special Hanfu costumes and examined them carefully.

The tops are all made of silk, which feels soft and skin-friendly. The skirts below are made of spun fabric, which is light and flowing. The waist-length part of the skirts is decorated with hand-embroidered patterns. Although the three dresses are of the same style, the color combinations are different.

Every piece looks great!

She couldn't help but praise, "The style is similar to what I drew, and the effect is exactly what I wanted. Shopkeeper Wu is indeed a professional and knows how to get things done."

Zhang Xinyue touched the dress, but her mind was on something else. "This is purely handmade, so it's naturally much better than what you put together. But for three pieces for fifty taels of silver, the fabric shouldn't be as good as the two sets I mentioned before."

Guan Xiaoyu glanced at the skirt and said, "Why is the performance costume so expensive?"

"Yes, yes, yes. Once this style is unveiled at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, I think a lot of people will like it. Then, when we make clothes like this again, we won't have to pay for it ourselves and can use more expensive fabrics!"

Zhang Xinyue laughed.

"We now wear clothes that are tailor-made!"

"Yes, yes, Madam San Shao, you are incredible. Go and try this one on immediately."

Liu Wanyun picked out the red skirt and handed it to her.

Zhang Xinyue shook her head and pointed at another one. "This color is too eye-catching. I want the blue one."

Liu Wanyun glanced at her and said, "Are you sure? That color doesn't suit you. Besides, if you wear this with the brothers in the future and they call you Madam Second Young Master, I'll laugh out loud!"

The second young master likes to wear blue, so it’s really not suitable for the third young master’s wife to wear blue.

"What? Her man wears blue, so why can't I? Can't I just ask Shen Lao San to wear blue too?" Zhang Xinyue immediately disagreed.

Liu Wanyun was speechless. Is this the point?

"The point is, blue doesn't look as good on you as it does on her!"

Guan Xiaoyu was speechless and took the blue one first and left.

After the three of them changed and admired each other, Zhang Xinyue started to make a fuss and insisted on trying the other two colors.

Liu and Guan were speechless and let her change it.

After changing, Zhang Xinyue curled her lips, had to admit defeat, and agreed to Liu Wanyun's arrangement.

While looking in the mirror, he chatted again, "Why didn't you let Ruonan try it just now?"

Liu Wanyun's eyes widened. "What? You're willing to let her wear your clothes? These are new clothes, and the three of us haven't tried them on yet. Besides, these are for the Hundred Flowers Banquet. Showing them to her early is quite considerate!"

Guan Xiaoyu folded the clothes again and said, "Don't you think Ruonan is much more lively today than usual? She seems to be very happy."

"Yes, I think so too. She is usually very cautious, just like her mother, but today she seems to be a little more flamboyant."

Liu Wanyun recalled what happened just now and said thoughtfully.

"She even asked us to take them to the Hundred Flowers Banquet! It seems like she's really looking forward to it. Could it be that there's something going on there that we don't know about?"

"Tsk~"

Zhang Xinyue was full of disdain. "She's quite good at making arrangements. She takes herself quite seriously!"

Liu Wanyun, however, was thinking about something else. "Who could have caused the problem with Auntie's medicine? Did the clinic make the mistake? Or is there something fishy going on at home?"

"It's unlikely to be a clinic~"

Guan Xiaoyu spoke hesitantly.

Zhang Xinyue was more decisive.

"It's definitely not a clinic. What clinic would dare to dispense medicine without following the prescription? If they prescribe the wrong medicine and something goes wrong, someone could die and they'll be reported to the authorities!"

"Then what do you think, could it be Aunt Zhao?" Liu Wanyun asked tentatively again.

Zhang Xinyue: "Very likely!"

Guan Xiaoyu: “It’s hard to say!”

Liu Wanyun: "What's the reason?"

Zhang Xinyue hated thinking about these questions the most. "Who knows? We haven't caught any evidence. I'll just have to be careful with her from now on!"

Unable to reach a conclusion for the time being, they put the matter aside for the time being. The three of them packed up their clothes and went to arrange the affairs of the mansion.

The first thing to do is dinner.

Zhang Xinyue asked Mrs. Luo from the kitchen for the daily menu and replaced several of the vegetarian dishes with their favorite meat dishes.

The desire for food must be satisfied.

Guan Xiaoyu took Rendong with her and inspected various places.

Liu Wanyun personally delivered Madam Shen's clothes to her yard.

As soon as I entered, I saw Aunt Zhao sitting by the bed with her head lowered and talking to Madam Shen.

Liu Wanyun put on a smile and walked closer.

"Auntie, are you feeling better?"

Mrs. Shen frowned slightly when she saw her holding the clothes, "Why did you come here by yourself? Where is Si Xi?"

"Si Xi is busy in the yard!"

Nanny Wang, who was waiting on the side, hurried to take it.

Liu Wanyun chatted enthusiastically, "Aunt, don't you want to try it?"

Madam Shen had a lazy look on her face. "Forget it. I'm not in good spirits. I won't go to the Hundred Flowers Banquet. You three can go on behalf of the Shen family!"

Liu Wanyun quickly shook her head, "Aunt, this won't do. You know the three of us have never attended any banquets. If we go alone, it will easily bring shame to the Shen family."

"If you don't go, we won't go either."

She blinked her eyes and spoke pitifully, like a child who had never seen the world and was afraid to show up, but her eyes were secretly observing Aunt Zhao.

Mrs. Shen was speechless. This daughter-in-law needs to exercise well!

"It's okay. I just told Aunt Zhao that I'll let Ruonan and Zhaodi go with you. They've attended a few banquets with me before, so they know what kind of banquets they are and what to pay attention to. You can just ask them more when the time comes."

Aunt Zhao had a faint smile on her face. "Madam, you really are too kind to Ruonan and the others. What can two little girls know?"

Madam Shen muttered, "It's better than the three of them knowing nothing!"

She didn't lower her voice deliberately, so it naturally fell into Liu Wanyun's ears.

Liu Wanyun wasn't angry either. She just smiled and said, "Yes, Auntie is right. We don't know anything and it would be embarrassing if we went. But if Auntie doesn't go, then we won't go either."

"You—" Madam Shen said with a look of disappointment, "Don't you have any ambition? People want to go to this kind of party but can't, and you have this opportunity, but you don't want to learn from it! You haven't participated in it before, so when you go, just talk less and watch more."

"No! No! Otherwise, you can just let Aunt Zhao take your two sisters with you!"

Liu Wanyun spoke out directly. She remembered that in ancient costume dramas, when wealthy families attended banquets, only the main wives participated, and concubines were not eligible. She said this deliberately just to see how the other two would react.

Sure enough, Madam Shen and Aunt Zhao’s expressions changed immediately.
