Chapter 1948: Fooling
Bai Ruirui became even more panicked and guilty: "Aunt, do you find fault with any clothes I wear? Why can't I wear such a beautiful and elegant dress?"
Madam Fan sneered: "I didn't say that!"
As he spoke, he stood up and left.
Bai Ruirui muttered to herself. When she looked up, she was startled to see her mother staring at her without blinking. She forced a smile and said, "Mom..."
Fan Ruyin frowned and looked her up and down. "Tell me honestly, what happened to you today?"
"I didn't—"
"Rui Rui! I'm your mother," Fan Ruyin said angrily, "You can't lie to me! I know you don't like or admire that Qiao family, so why?"
Fan Ruyin felt extremely uncomfortable when she thought that her daughter was actually flattering and trying to please Qiao Xuan right under her nose and taking the initiative to get close to Qiao Xuan.
She wished time could go back so she could bring her daughter over.
Bai Ruirui slowly lowered her head, her slender fingers nervously tugging at her collar.
But no matter how Fan Ruyin asked, she insisted that she was afraid that Mrs. Shao would deal with the Fan family, so she deliberately tried to please her...
Fan Ruyin was skeptical, but Bai Ruirui refused to change her words even after she pressed her, and she almost cried. Fan Ruyin had no choice but to believe her.
This letter made her feel distressed again, and she scolded her with great distress - the Fan family was not at this point yet, there was no need for a little girl like her to sacrifice herself, her mother and grandmother would protect her, she must not be so stupid again in the future...
Bai Ruirui lay in Fan Ruyin's arms, uttering "hmm" with a heavy nasal tone, her eyes flickering and her mind heavy. No one knew what she was thinking.
As the prefect, Shao Yunduan would not easily attend banquets at anyone's house. But he was still very busy during the Spring Festival.
Visit famous families and hold banquets to entertain learned scholars in the country.
A banquet was held to entertain Jia Heming and a group of clerks, constables and other people in the yamen, and also to show their consolation. As Jia Heming was the prefect, he had to return the favor, so there was another lively day.
And entertain the heads of various wealthy and powerful families to discuss the development plan of Anze Prefecture, etc.
I had almost no free time during the entire Spring Festival.
Shao Yunduan would definitely not go if the Mei family, the Huo family and others hosted a separate banquet, but after several families discussed and pooled their money together, they held a banquet in a restaurant. Firstly, it was to return the favor, secondly, to welcome the spring, and thirdly, to express gratitude to the prefect for his contributions to Anzezhou, which finally brought peace and tranquility to the prefecture. Naturally, Shao Yunduan had to give him this face.
Coincidentally, it was also the twelfth day of the first lunar month. The families booked the most famous Qingfeng Tower in Anze Prefecture to entertain Shao Yunduan.
When they went out that day, Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan were together, and they separated halfway.
However, Qiao Xuan came back from the show at around 3:00 p.m., and Shao Yunduan was probably going to have a group of men eating, drinking, having fun, listening to operas and music until late at night.
When he was in Beijing, Shao Yunduan would occasionally attend similar events, but not often. This was his first time here.
During dinner, Qiao Xuan was alone, and An An was playing beside her to keep her company.
Perhaps it was because she hadn't had dinner alone for a long time, Qiao Xuan suddenly felt a little empty and lacked energy.
She analyzed the situation calmly in her heart, and suddenly smiled, thinking that she was being a little pretentious!
She was worried that her husband would be seduced into becoming a bad person.
