In the carriage of the Hou Mansion, Lu Seyan sat next to Old Madam Lu, while Lu Ruoyan and her daughter sat a little further away.
Lu Ruoyan was naturally unhappy. The limelight that should have belonged to her, the legitimate daughter, was snatched away by a daughter from a concubine's family. However, she did not dare to act rashly in front of Old Madam Lu.
"Grandmother, didn't Princess Yiyang's daughter die a long time ago? Why did she appear again? Could it be fake? Why was there no news at all before?"
Madam Lu looked at her deeply and asked, "Fake?"
"Yes," Lu Ruoyan did not even look at the old lady's expression, and continued to speak in a self-righteous manner, "Isn't Princess Yiyang crazy? There is no guarantee that she will not admit her mistake."
Lu Seyan wanted to laugh in her heart. This sister was so stupid.
Even if Princess Yi Yang is crazy, many people in the royal family are not crazy.
Since there is a banquet in the palace, this must be true.
Even if it's fake, it has to be true.
She remained calm and didn't want to cause trouble for herself for no reason.
She is not afraid at all, but now Lu Ruoyan does not have the face to show in front of the old lady.
But she knew that the old lady was just taking advantage of her, so she didn't bother to complain.
"You are the only one who is smart."
"Yes, I..." Lu Ruoyan realized that the old lady was not praising her, and her face turned red. "Grandma, have you heard any rumors? Where has the princess been all these years?"
Madam Lu was no longer angry. "I don't know. The matter was urgent and I didn't have time to inquire."
"What about you? You have friendships with the princes in the palace. You wouldn't know something and not tell us, right?" Lu Ruoyan looked at Lu Seyan and asked in a deliberately provocative manner.
"Sister, you'd better not say that. Otherwise, if someone hears it, they will think that our daughter of the Lu family has no manners. I have never been friends with the princes. We just met by chance. We are not familiar with each other."
Lu Ruoyan rolled her eyes and said, "You are really good at pretending."
Unexpectedly, Madam Lu still stood on Lu Seyan's side, "Ruoyan, watch your mouth. You have been by my side for so many years, but you are not as sensible as your sister. Girls should know how to speak properly."
"Yes! Grandma, this... Aren't there any outsiders here?" Lu Ruoyan still wanted to argue for herself.
"Mother, Ruoyan is close to my sister, so she said that. Besides, we should ask more questions, so as not to offend the nobles due to lack of understanding when we enter the palace later."
After all, after eating for a few more years, Mrs. Lu's words sounded much more comfortable to me than Lu Ruoyan's.
But unfortunately, Mrs. Lu couldn't answer, she really didn't know.
The palace banquet today that was announced yesterday was indeed very urgent. She only found out what it was about after she gave the money, but she didn't ask for the details.
The ladies had to prepare a lot of things when they entered the palace, so they didn't have the time to go around inquiring from house to house.
However, she felt that if her family didn't know the news, other families would not know anything about it.
"Seyan, do you know?"
"Grandma, I've been at home these days, you know."
Madam Lu nodded. She was indeed well-behaved and seldom went out for banquets.
Be dedicated to yourself too.
"You don't know, but your mother doesn't know? She knows a lot of people."
Bai Huiru used the reputation of the Hou Mansion to make many friends outside, but she didn't have a regular wife at all, so she was looked down upon by Lu Ruoyan and her daughter.
"Grandma, I will persuade my mother."
Unfortunately, you can’t choose your birth.
Princess Yi Yang went to Shou'an Palace after entering the palace, but Xia Jinjun and Chang Yue did not go to disturb her. After all, they were a big family and they were afraid of disturbing the empress dowager.
They were considered to have arrived early. Although no one would be late when entering the palace, Chang Yue was particularly nervous, so he arrived earlier than others.
The couple gave their three sons some instructions out of concern, but they were quite relieved about their daughter.
"Aunt!" Wen Yan came over to say hello when he saw them.
Chang Yue felt nervous when she was called "Aunt", but when she thought about it, there was nothing wrong with it. According to seniority, it was the right way to call her.
Xia Zhiliao looked at Wen Yan and said that he came very early, so could he be waiting for them?
But when I think about it, it seems impossible.
Wen Yan saw Xia Zhiliao's eyes looking around, and explained with a smile, "Wen Heng and Wen Chao will be here a little later."
She didn't ask, so who would ask them?
"I was going to see my father... and I came here on the way, but I didn't expect you were already here." Wen Yan explained with a smile.
Wen Yan had not spoken for long when Wen Chao also came. Seeing Xia Zhile, the two of them could not help but start a verbal battle. Xia Zhile thought it was a bit childish, but he just couldn't help but fight back.
I have to say, because of the change in her status, she did have some confidence, so a small quarrel wouldn't be excessive.
Wen Chao has not reached the stage described in the novel yet, so he is still very naive now, and it is true that he cannot afford to suffer any loss.
Chang Yue was still a little worried. After all, he was a prince and they were not as close friends as Wen Heng.
Wen Yan seemed to see her worry and comforted her, "Don't worry, Aunt. It's always like this every time my ninth brother and Sister Zhiliao meet. Although Sister Zhiliao is young, she won't suffer any loss. It's always my ninth brother who gets so angry that he stamps his feet."
Sure enough, Wen Chao soon looked like he was going crazy but couldn't do anything to Xia Zhiliao, jumping up and down like a monkey.
Xia Zhiliao happily stopped arguing with him. If he really pissed this guy off, he would be the one who would suffer.
Soon Wen Heng also came, and Wen Chao seemed to be complaining, "Quick, take care of this girl."
Wen Heng looked at the two of them with interest. One was like a defeated rooster, and the other was like a proud peacock. He also guessed what was going on.
"Zhiliao wasn't bullied, so why should I care?"
Everyone couldn't help laughing, and Xia Zhiliao joined in the laughter, but what did Wen Heng mean?
"Ninth brother, everyone knows that he and Zhiliao are like siblings. If you go to him to complain, aren't you asking for trouble?" Wen Yan joked with a smile.
Wen Chao curled his lips, "I complained to them because I knew they were in cahoots. This time it was to me, and next time it will be to someone else. What if this little girl offends someone?"
Xia Zhiliao was still a little surprised after hearing what Wen Chao said.
Wen Chao meant that even if he argued with him or quarreled with him, he wouldn't really get angry?
Even if I am not from Wen Heng's faction now, people will still think I am one. In the novel, Wen Chao and Wen Heng are on opposite sides of the same path. How come they seem to be getting closer now?
"Do you think everyone is you?" Wen Yan said with a smile.
Wen Heng nodded, "That's right, who would quarrel with a little girl?"
"You...when did you two become so close?"
Xia Zhiliao also wanted to ask the same question.
[Yeah, how come the two of them are so close?]
