"Madam Liu, you are wrong." Tai Jingwan gently shook the round fan in her hand and laughed softly, "Having children depends on the fate of the couple, and it cannot be forced. Madam Liu is so 'highly productive', which is really rare. I wonder if Madam Liu has any tricks? Tell us so that we can learn from them."
Tai Jingwan deliberately emphasized the word "highly productive", causing the ladies around her to chuckle and then hinted that Xia Lan might have some good ideas. There were many women in the capital who wanted to have sons. Tai Jingwan felt that she could find reasons to refute whatever Xia Lan said.
Xia Lan's face froze. She was about to ridicule Tai Jingwan when she heard Jiang Jinyue's exclamation: "Oh my! Is that a mandarin duck pendant on Madam Liu's waist? I think the style is very unique. I wonder where Madam Liu bought this jade pendant. I want to buy one too."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Xia Lan's waist.
I saw that the jade pendant was indeed exquisitely crafted and looked extraordinary.
[Haha, this jade pendant is obviously a token of love given to Lau Ching-wan by his favorite male lover. The idiot Xia Lan thought it was given to her by her husband and wears it around in public every day. 】
Jiang Jinyue's inner thoughts almost made Tai Jingwan laugh out loud.
I felt a little sympathy for this "fertile" Mrs. Liu.
Xia Lan proudly stroked the jade pendant around her waist and said, "This was specially given to me by my husband..."
"Huh? That's not right." Jiang Jinyue looked at the jade pendant in confusion, and then said, "If I remember correctly, a pair of jade pendants that looked like this were sold at the Xuanbaozhai auction. However, the jade pendants were originally a pair, and it seems that they were bought by a man named Mu Bai. At that time, the words Mu Bai were specially engraved on the two jade pendants. Isn't Lord Liu's name 'Qingyun'?"
...
...
Xia Lan's face changed suddenly.
She knew clearly that there was indeed a word "white" engraved on the back of the jade pendant.
[Haha, now it’s going to be fun.] The male favorite is called Liu Mubai, but he is Liu Qingyun’s most beloved person. This jade pendant is their token of love! See how this woman gets back on track. 】
The atmosphere on the scene suddenly became subtle.
Princess An Jun tried to smooth things over at the right time: "Everyone, there are refreshments prepared over at the lotus pond. Why don't we all move to the flower hall in front and have a chat?"
Tai Jingwan was about to leave with Jiang Jinyue, but she heard Gu Nianshu scream behind her: "Some people can't have children themselves, but they can't stand seeing other people have children!"
Wei Ziran couldn't bear to listen any longer, and shouted coldly: "Miss Gu San, be careful with your words. No matter what Miss Tai says, she is still your eldest sister-in-law."
Wei Ziran didn’t understand, what benefit could Gu Nianshu get from slandering her sister-in-law at someone else’s party?
"Princess Anran, some people, although they are my relatives, are not as nice to me as you outsiders." After hearing what Wei Ziran said, Gu Nianshu quickly spoke in a pitiful manner.
“An Ran, don’t blame Miss Gu San. It must be that Miss Tai is usually unkind to others. Otherwise, why would Miss Gu San slander her in such an occasion? A fly won’t bite an egg without cracks.” Shen Miaomiao spoke well of Gu Nianshu.
After all, what does Tai Jingwan's well-being have to do with her?
When Wei Ziran heard this, he felt that these two people had different ideas from his own.
I thought to myself that if I had a sister-in-law like Gu Nianshu, I would probably avoid her as much as possible.
Thinking of this, Wei Ziran felt that since she was fine, it would be better for her not to get married.
"Miss Tai, what did you do to make your sister-in-law not speak for you in public?" Xia Lan was furious because Jiang Jinyue and Tai Jingwan had just talked about her jade pendant.
He wants to find some sense of existence through Tai Jingwan. As for why he doesn't confront Jiang Jinyue directly?
As long as Tai Jingwan is gone, Jiang Jinyue is nothing but a lowly merchant girl in his place.
"Madam Liu, I have a shocking piece of news here. Do you want to know?" Tai Jingwan originally didn't want to pay attention to Xia Lan, but she was so unreasonable.
Tai Jingwan felt that she should not be too kind.
After all, some people want to commit suicide, so why should she cover up for her? However, she didn't know if Xia Lan could bear the truth?
"Princess Anjun." Tai Jingwan first bowed to Princess Anjun. After all, today, Princess Anjun was the host.
"Jingwan, I finally get to see you. It hasn't been easy to see you since you got married." Princess Anjun said as she took Tai Jingwan's hand with a distressed look.
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Princess. It's just that I've been staying in the mansion all the time and rarely go out. Today, I'm grateful to you for letting me come out for a walk." Tai Jingwan's heart sank when she thought of this. Before this, she had been working hard to take care of all the affairs of the Gu family and had no intention of attending any banquet.
"What are you talking about, kid? I feel relieved to see that you are fine." Princess An Jun said happily while holding Tai Jingwan's hand.
The people who originally wanted to laugh at Tai Jingwan no longer dared to have any other thoughts when they saw that Princess Anjun was clearly trying to protect Tai Jingwan.
After all, Tai Jingwan's background was not bad.
Now, with Princess Anjun protecting her, anyone who is not stupid would not choose this time to rush up to the cloud and embarrass Tai Jingwan.
After all, Tai Jingwan had no conflicts of interest with them.
However, others would not make things difficult for Tai Jingwan, but Xia Lan did not think so. After all, she considered herself to be the elder and had given birth to nine children in a row.
In this capital city, Xia Lan felt that she was qualified to teach Tai Jingwan a few words.
"Princess Anjun, a pair of lotus flowers have bloomed in your mansion, which must mean good things are about to happen. Some people here are unlucky, so please don't snatch away your good fortune." Xia Lan walked up to Princess Anjun with a humble look on her face and said.
"It's Madam Liu." Princess An Jun saw Xia Lan coming over and just nodded at her symbolically. She had no intention of talking to Xia Lan anymore.
Xia Lan just glared at Tai Jingwan who was standing beside her. She felt that Tai Jingwan must have said something bad about her in front of Princess An Jun.
Otherwise, even if he didn't get the favor of Princess Anjun, at least, Princess Anjun wouldn't be so distant to him.
Tai Jingwan just stood beside Princess An Jun with a smile, enjoying the care from an elder and feeling warm in her heart.
"Miss Tai, since you have married into the Gu family, you should not do anything that would damage the Xuanping Marquis Mansion and bring shame to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion. This is not how we women should behave." Xia Lan caught Tai Jingwan and started lecturing.
Princess Anjun's face turned dark.
This Xia actually put on airs in front of her and her niece?
