Li Manqing didn't seem to have any intention of causing trouble for Ning Wan. She just glanced at Ning Wan from time to time, as if she was afraid that she would suddenly disappear.
[Host, Li Manqing is always staring at you. Could it be that she's planning something bad?]
After Li Manqing was caught by Xiao Qi for the fifty-ninth time, it looked at the host who was eating calmly and finally couldn't help asking.
Upon hearing this, Ning Wan only paused for a moment, then stretched out her chopsticks to the four-happiness meatballs in front of her and took a very satisfied bite.
Apart from anything else, the chef in the Shangshu family is indeed a little better than the one in the Ning Mansion.
"Maybe."
Ning Wan replied to Xiao Qi calmly and put another piece of food into the bowl with chopsticks.
Listening to the host's inner thoughts, Xiao Qi was stunned for a moment: No, it's already this time, this is the Hongmen Banquet, how can the host still eat so comfortably?
Xiao Qi: [Isn't the host worried? ]
"I'm worried, but she hasn't made a move yet. Besides, she may not know Jun Yan's plan."
At this moment, Ning Wan looked like a harmless rabbit on the surface. He kept silent and focused on eating. He ate only the grass near his nest. He looked like a typical timid and greedy person.
Seeing Ning Wan like this, the young ladies from official families at the same table had even less desire to talk to her. They even thought that Ning Wan's family was just a clothing and jewelry business. If it weren't for Li Manqing's face, they would not have given her the chance to sit at the same table.
But Ning Wan wasn't really stupid, so she could naturally see that these people didn't like her, and she just didn't want to have a hypocritical communication with them.
After hearing the host's explanation, Xiao Qi's mind was now circling with the two words that the host often replied to him: I don't believe it.
[Host, don't you think it will be too late by the time she takes action? ]
Xiao Qi always felt that the host was dazzled by the Manchu-Han banquet in front of him, so he was deliberately perfunctory, and could not help but remind him:
[And the way Li Manqing looked at the host didn't seem like she was unaware.]
Ning Wan still didn't react much after hearing this. After swallowing the food in her mouth, she silently replied, "Don't worry. You'll know whether she knows or not in a while."
Xiao Qi: ...It doesn't matter whether they know it or not. What it fears is that the host will fall into a pit and won't be able to get out.
After the banquet, Li Manqing invited everyone present to go for a walk in the garden on the pretext of helping digestion.
Naturally, no one refused, and Ning Wan also followed behind very cooperatively, wanting to see how Jun Yan would make his move today.
On the other side of the pavilion, the banquet had not yet ended, and the group of young men were still drinking glass after glass of wine, with no intention of stopping.
Ning Wan, who was strolling in the garden, also felt the unusual enthusiasm, and the group of people who were originally just strolling and admiring the flowers stopped.
"Miss Ning has been here for so long, why hasn't she spoken to us? Do you think we sisters are hard to get along with?"
No one knew who started it, but for a moment everyone's eyes were on Ning Wan.
It was just a very simple sentence, but when it came out of that person's mouth it made it seem as if Ning Wan looked down on them.
Even Li Manqing's eyes dimmed a little because of these words. It was obvious that she wanted to get an answer from Ning Wan.
Chunqin and Luzhu, who were following behind Ning Wan, were also stunned for a moment. It took them a while to realize that the man was talking about their young lady.
Chunqin\u0026Luzhu: No way, the topics you guys are discussing have no place for a young lady to speak. If you’re not careful, you’ll offend people…
Ning Wan looked in the direction of the voice and didn't rush to explain. Instead, she nodded seriously, "Hmm?"
"I'm not familiar with you, so naturally I don't have anything to say to you. Is that a problem?"
The person who asked the question was the youngest daughter of the previous Minister of Rites.
I thought these words would lead to Ning Wan's urgent explanation, but I didn't expect the other party to have such an attitude. My face froze and I stood there in a daze, not knowing what to say.
Even the crowd who were waiting to laugh at Ning Wan and trying to establish a relationship with her couldn't laugh for a moment. They looked at each other, but couldn't make out what was going on.
Li Manqing was also surprised by Ning Wan's honesty. Noticing that the atmosphere was not right, she coughed lightly and said:
"Don't tease her. Sister Ning and I don't have any personal relationship, so it's normal that we're not familiar with each other. When we get to know each other better, we'll naturally be able to chat."
When the Minister of Rites' youngest daughter heard this, she quickly responded in a low voice: "It's my fault. I didn't think it through."
Hearing this, Li Manqing raised the corners of her mouth slightly: "No problem."
After experiencing the embarrassing scene just now, everyone subconsciously felt that Ning Wan's emotional intelligence was too low. If they spoke to her, they might even embarrass themselves.
With this in mind, no one spoke to Ning Wan anymore, and some even distanced themselves from her intentionally or unintentionally.
Ning Wan wished she could have some peace and quiet, so she naturally didn't take these people's attitudes to heart.
It was just that she was originally waiting for the Third Prince to make a move, but she never expected that after waiting for so long, it was not her who was hit, but Shen Jingwen.
Just as the group, led by Li Manqing, walked further and further away, gradually putting some distance between them and Ning Wan, an electronic sound like a death-threatening sound rang out in Ning Wan's sea of consciousness.
[Today's random mission: Rescue the Chinese medicine hero. (Hint: The host can redeem the antidote in advance. The required points are: 50 points.)
Time limit for mission completion: half an hour. (The medicine the hero has taken this time is too special. If the host cannot treat him in time, the hero's reputation will be damaged.)
