Chapter 368 She Wants to Kick Her Out
After sitting down, the Duke's wife smiled at Old Madam Shen and said:
"Madam, this is my adopted daughter Jiaojiao. Today, I am taking advantage of your birthday to bring her out to see the world."
Old Madam Shen glanced at Li Jiaojiao indifferently and praised her politely: "Oh, you are very beautiful. Madam Liu is so lucky."
The Duke's wife smiled and said, "Yes, Jiaojiao is very filial."
Li Jiaojiao was in a bad mood. She felt that this old lady Shen always acted superior and was too rude. After all, they were both from a duke's mansion, one level higher than a marquis' mansion.
But the mother didn't get angry. She just sat aside and smiled gracefully.
My mother has such a good temper! Even though Li Jiaojiao was somewhat dissatisfied, she did not dare to say anything.
At this time, two men of about seventeen or eighteen years old walked in, one was cold and handsome, the other was leisurely and elegant, each of them was handsome in his own way.
When Li Jiaojiao saw the two of them, her eyes immediately lit up.
Oh my god, what a handsome young man! Not only is he handsome, but he's also very noble!
Although Gu Han is also very handsome, for some reason he always looks shabby.
The two people in front of him were countless times better than Gu Han, and they were also full of energy and radiant.
Ever since they came in, Li Jiaojiao's eyes have never left them, and her eyes are almost glued to them.
"Jiaojiao..." Lady Pingguo whispered in Li Jiaojiao's ear, "The man in the dark brocade clothes is Shen Xingyue, the prince of Dingguo Marquis's Mansion!"
Is he Shen Xingyue? Li Jiaojiao's eyes fell on the cold and handsome man, and waves of joy filled her heart.
Although the other nobleman was also very handsome, she still liked the cold and handsome type like Shen Xingyue the most.
He is truly worthy of being the one Li Jiaojiao has chosen!
Okay, Li Jiaojiao will definitely be the Crown Prince’s wife!
"Grandma, your grandson brought Henghui here to pay his respects to you." Shen Xingyue said.
The nobleman next to him smiled and bowed: "Hello, old Lord Feng."
"Come on, no need to be polite." Old Madam Shen smiled. This Lu Henghui was the son of the eldest princess Fushun, a young prince. "Where is your mother?"
"When I came in just now, I was stunned by the room full of colored glaze. I happened to run into the eldest lady outside, who was holding her back to 'question her guilt'."
After saying this, everyone in the room burst into laughter.
Li Jiaojiao didn't know what they were laughing at. Of course, her mind was not on that. Her heart and eyes were full of Shen Xingyue.
I wish I could walk up to him right away and let him see me.
Shen Xingyue chatted with Old Madam Shen for a few more words, then said goodbye and left.
Li Jiaojiao quickly stood up and bowed to Old Madam Shen: "Old Madam, I'm going out for a walk too."
Madam Shen said calmly, "Go out quickly! And the little girls in the room, go out and play, don't stay here."
After hearing this, Li Jiaojiao quickly walked out.
Xiaolu beside her quickly caught up with her back.
Li Jiaojiao left Chang'an Hall, but did not see Shen Xingyue.
She couldn't help but curl her lips.
Xiaolu chased after her: "Miss, do you want to go back?"
"Why go back? I'm so bored." Li Jiaojiao felt that Old Madam Shen was difficult to get along with, but that didn't stop her from liking Shen Xingyue. "The post says that the party will be held in the Plum Garden. Let's go there and have fun."
The two of them didn't ask anyone to lead the way, but just followed the crowd.
Walking and stopping, I admired the surrounding scenery, especially the colored glaze, which was translucent and crystal clear like ice.
The more Li Jiaojiao looked at it, the more she liked it.
The guests around her kept praising her like her:
"Marquis Dingguo's mansion really spent a lot of money to build a room full of colored glaze."
"Is it a question of whether it costs a lot of money? It's about the quality! This is so transparent, there is no other one like it in the world. But the Dingguo Marquis's Mansion has a whole room full of it! I wonder how they got it."
Li Jiaojiao felt excited when she heard these compliments. How honorable it would be if she became the mistress of Marquis Dingguo's Mansion one day!
Before they knew it, they arrived at the plum garden.
The plum garden is full of plum blossoms, which bloom particularly beautifully in this winter.
Noble ladies and young ladies gathered here, gathering with people they knew, looking at the glass lanterns or chatting in the pavilion.
Li Jiaojiao was secretly depressed and suddenly felt lonely.
In her imagination, today was her first appearance.
As soon as she appears, all eyes will be on her.
When the Duke's wife introduces her, she will be praised and flattered by everyone, and will be the center of attention wherever she goes.
But the reality is different from what I imagined. Now I feel like a dispensable little character...
Li Jiaojiao was furious. If she had known this, she would not have run out alone!
There is not even one person I know! So lonely!
But what Li Jiaojiao didn’t know was that soon, she would no longer be alone!
Because she was about to see a bunch of people she knew!
"Miss, look, that's not..."
Xiaolu suddenly grabbed Li Jiaojiao's hand tightly.
"What's wrong?" Li Jiaojiao turned around and then her eyes widened in shock.
Ye Caiping was seen dressed in gorgeous clothes, walking towards them with her sisters Ye Jiner and Jinhua.
Li Jiaojiao was horrified. How could the lowly people from the Ye family be here?
This is the birthday banquet of Marquis Dingguo’s Mansion, not just anyone can come!
For such a high-level banquet, not to mention a small seventh-rank concubine, even officials of the fourth or fifth rank might not be able to come!
"Miss..." Xiaolu pulled her, "Let's go. Don't talk to people you don't like."
She didn't want her master to cause trouble again, as this was a banquet at the Marquis Dingguo's Mansion.
"No...why are you walking? Am I afraid of her?"
Li Jiaojiao said angrily.
She was not only afraid, her heart was shaking!
Ye Caiping knew her background. What if she told her mother that she had been in prison?
Her mother will definitely dislike her then! And this matter cannot be spread out, otherwise how can Li Jiaojiao survive in the aristocratic circle?
Why is this bitch Ye Caiping here? Was it just to expose her?
How did she get in?
No, none of this matters now. The most important thing right now is that she has to get Ye Caiping out!
Yes, we must kick her out!
