Finally, I spotted two people in the crowd.
Isn't it just the mistress and concubine wearing the same outfit?
Lingwei spotted Zou Shuang'er from afar, dressed exactly like herself, and her face darkened.
The clothes she was wearing were a gift from the lady of the house.
Could Zou Shuang'er's outfit also be like that?
Whom are you insulting, madam?!
Zou Shuang'er looked at the tight-fitting 'cheongsam' she was wearing, which was unique in the Holy Kingdom.
The clothes she wore had beautiful, curvaceous lines that accentuated her perfect figure.
Looking at Lingwei's dress, it really looks cheap and shabby.
A slight, cold smile played on her lips.
The master is a normal person; after comparing the two, he will naturally know who to favor first.
"I hadn't looked closely until you mentioned it, but the woman next to the Marquis of Zhenbei seems to be his mistress. Why does her clothing look so strange?"
"Yes, I've wanted to say that for a while now, it seems..."
"Ah, yes, yes, just like the women in the brothels and entertainment districts."
"Look at her, trying to seduce every man in broad daylight, what a slut!"
...
Some women even prevented their husbands from looking at Zou Shuang'er's location.
Madam Sheng glared at the Grand Commandant beside her, who, intimidated, immediately picked up his daughter Huahua and turned to walk towards the Imperial Son-in-Law.
"Oh my, Prince Consort, let me give you a hug to share in the joy and wish you all your dreams come true..."
Madam Sheng was bold enough to walk up to the Marquis of Zhenbei with a mocking expression.
"I say, Marquis of Zhenbei, what kind of behavior is this, with your concubine dressed like this?"
"All the guests attending your birthday banquet today are distinguished guests. How can you allow a lowly concubine to dress like this? Isn't this blatantly trying to seduce our husband?"
After Madam Sheng said that, the Marquis of Zhenbei noticed that Zou Shuang'er's outfit was indeed indecent. He looked at Ling Wei's outfit in the distance and frowned.
"Foolish thing, today is my birthday banquet, what kind of messy clothes are you wearing?"
"Aren't you going to change it yet?"
Zou Shuang'er, who was secretly pleased, froze when she heard what the Marquis of Zhenbei said.
"master……"
"Hurry up and go!" He raised his voice slightly, drawing everyone's attention.
Seeing this, Ye Lanyin quickly came over to smooth things over, smiling and saying, "Alright, alright, it's your birthday banquet today, don't be angry."
“This outfit is indeed not elegant. Even if you bought it for a thousand taels of silver, Zou Shuang’er, you don’t need to show it off at the banquet.”
"Go change it quickly, don't let your daughter be embarrassed along with you."
A flash of hatred crossed Zou Shuang'er's eyes. She clenched her fist tightly under her sleeve until the pain brought her back to her senses, and then she slowly began to speak.
"It was my oversight. I originally thought it would be your birthday banquet, so I should dress more festively..."
Madam Sheng said impatiently, "Alright, alright, this is utterly disrespectful! The Marquis of Zhenbei's birthday banquet has now invited outsiders, so it's no longer a family banquet."
Do you want me to teach you?
"You should wear clothes appropriate to your status. Keep the ones you use to seduce people and display them in your yard!"
Zou Shuang'er gritted her teeth.
Marquis Zhenbei dared not offend Madam Sheng, and since the topic wasn't about him, he couldn't be bothered to pay attention.
"Alright, go change now."
"yes."
Although the old lady felt sorry for her, she knew what kind of occasion it was today, and only felt that Zou Shuang'er had not thought things through.
Zou Wanqing tugged at the old lady's clothes.
"grandmother."
The old lady's face immediately lit up with a smile. "Oh, Wanqing, your mother will be back soon."
"Okay." Zou Wanqing blinked. "Grandmother, is there anything wrong with Mother's outfit?"
What woman doesn't love beauty?
"Wearing a certain outfit and still managing to seduce someone else's husband? That just means the husband himself couldn't resist, so he can't blame anyone else!"
Everyone was shocked.
Such a young age, yet he speaks like that.
"I heard that Zou Shuang'er has a daughter who is clever and quick-witted, but I never expected it to be like this."
"Truly 'good' upbringing!"
"How could you, at such a young age, know about these things in brothels? Did your mother teach you that?"
"Look at her eyes, they're practically devouring you. She doesn't look like someone her age at all."
"They really are mother and daughter. They're raising their daughter to seduce men at such a young age. They're both despicable!"
Zou Wanqing wanted to speak her mind, but was stopped by the Marquis of Zhenbei who was walking towards her.
"Wanqing, you mustn't be rude."
"These are all the families of officials; we must not offend them."
He then cupped his hands in apology to the crowd and said, "I'm sorry, everyone. Please don't take offense."
"Shuang'er has already gone to change her clothes. Please give me some face, gentlemen, and let me eat and drink as I please."
Seeing this, no one could say anything more, after all, the child was so young.
Madam Sheng truly felt that Ye Lanyin was not worthy of such treatment.
Look at the state of this mansion, it's in complete chaos! Aren't you leaving?
She took Ye Lanyin's hand and led her to a seat on the side.
"Let's go over there and have some drinks."
The group took their seats in a grand procession and began to eat and drink.
The cooks and waiters from Hongxinglou Restaurant at the entrance also brought out the prepared dishes one by one.
The aroma alone was enough to make everyone's mouths water.
Although I didn't really want to attend this banquet, I could endure it for the sake of the food.
"It's delicious, Mrs. Lin, you're so kind."
"Yes, yes, there must be a lot of silver here, right?"
Ye Lanyin smiled and said, "It won't cost much money. Lanyin's dowry is quite substantial, so please don't be shy."
The group looked at each other in bewilderment.
What a cunning Marquis of Zhenbei! He's greedy for wildflowers and even for his dowry!
The Grand Tutor's eyes lit up, and he pulled out a stack of things from his pocket.
