Princess Huasheng's mansion held a banquet, and all the mansions that received the invitations prepared early to attend the banquet at the princess's mansion.
Qian from the Dongping Marquisate came to the Anchang Marquisate with her two daughters-in-law. When she saw Song, she said, "We came here because we wanted to travel together."
"My aunt thought of us, and we are so grateful."
Song invited them to go to the old lady's courtyard together. "My mother-in-law was tired yesterday and I'm afraid she can't go. Linlang is pregnant and it's not convenient for her to go, so Amu is at home taking care of her. I would feel lonely going there alone, but fortunately my aunt and two sisters-in-law came with me."
Qian smiled and said, "Then we've arrived just in time."
They chatted and laughed all the way to the old lady's yard. Linlang was having breakfast with the old lady. She quickly stood up to greet her and they exchanged greetings.
The old lady asked the Qian family and their daughter-in-law to take good care of Song. "She is an honest person. Linlang and I are not feeling well and cannot attend the banquet. So please take good care of her and don't let anyone bully her."
Both the Dongping Marquisate and the Anchang Marquisate knew that Gu Yuanfang had no good intentions and was hosting a Hongmen Banquet.
This was the first time Qian had heard the old lady say such words. Even though she knew Song looked soft but wasn't like that inside, she still agreed, "Don't worry, Auntie. We're going together. We won't let her get bullied."
I thought to myself that this elder sister-in-law has changed a lot now. She is worried about her daughter-in-law. The change in the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is probably due to Linlang.
Qian knew that the old lady and Gu Yuanfang had done some immoral things in the past, which almost ruined her grandson-in-law's future. Now that the young couple could forgive her, it showed that they were tolerant and broad-minded.
Fortunately, there is only one confused old lady in the Anchang Marquis Mansion. Now that Gu Yuanfang, the troublemaker, is gone, they will be able to move around more often in the future.
After chatting for a while, it was almost time, so the three of them, Song and Qian, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, set off for the princess's mansion.
The three of them calculated the time and arrived just in time, when most of the guests had already arrived.
I was led to the area for female guests. Walking through the courtyard, I saw from afar Gu Yuanfang in formal attire entertaining guests, and Princess Huasheng talking to the ladies and girls she knew well.
The palace maid informed the two mansions. Gu Yuanfang raised her chin and looked over. When she saw that only Song came to the banquet, her face turned cold.
It’s bad enough that the old man isn’t coming, but Rong Linlang isn’t coming either. All the preparations I’ve made are just wasted.
Gu Yuanfang was so angry that Xiao Cui touched her hand and then came out with a smile.
"Grandmother, eldest aunt, second aunt, and aunt, you are finally here." Gu Yuanfang stepped forward and bowed. "Fang'er has been waiting for you for a long time."
Qian said, "This isn't Fang'er's party. We have to dress up nicely. We can't lose face for you."
The Crown Prince's wife and the Second Wife echoed them. Song stood by with a smile on her face, but did not say anything. Her meaning was the same as Qian's.
"Look at what Grandmother said. I'm already honored that you're here." Gu Yuanfang stepped forward and pretended to be friendly with Qian and Song. "Why are only my aunt, great-aunt, and the county lady still here?"
Song always spoke gently. "Your great-aunt went out yesterday. It was cold and snowing, so she felt very tired. She didn't come to cause you any trouble."
"Linlang is almost six months pregnant. Your great aunt and I have been dragging her out to visit relatives these past two days, and she's exhausted. You know how hard it is for a pregnant woman, and this is her first child, so we have to take good care of her. Let her rest at home."
Song said apologetically, "We were all planning to come and have some fun, but we didn't expect that the old man and the child were too exhausted and couldn't come. You won't be angry, will you?"
"How could that be? The health of my great-aunt and the county lady is more important." Gu Yuanfang forced a smile. "Next time, there will always be a chance to get together again."
She was already gritting her teeth with hatred. The old man and Rong Linlang must have been scared, afraid that she would attack them, so they hid in the Marquis' Mansion and dared not come.
How could Gu Yuanfang not be angry when the big show prepared for Rong Linlang could not be performed?
Gu Yuanfang gave Xiao Cui a look and asked her to tell Li Guangping that the plan was cancelled and Rong Linlang was not coming.
Then he smiled and led the Song and Qian mother-in-law and daughter-in-law into the banquet hall to meet Princess Huasheng.
The four of them bowed respectfully, and Princess Huasheng said with a smile, "Fang'er will be my daughter from now on. We're all family from now on, so come visit us more often."
The four of them said they didn't dare disturb the princess.
Qian said, "It's Yuan Fang's good fortune to have the princess's favor, and we are happy for her. In fact, Yuan Fang should be the one who visits the third house, and we are second."
This was to tell everyone that their Dongping Marquisate had already split up, and the matter of the third concubine's wife had little to do with the Marquisate. Their relationship with Gu Yuanfang was not close, and the Anchang Marquisate had the same intention as them.
Unfortunately, Princess Huasheng was not interested in the status of the third wife born out of wedlock, and she didn't even send an invitation.
Everyone present was a shrewd person. Princess Huasheng chose Gu Yuanfang as her daughter only to show everyone that she was grateful and a kind person.
It seems that he doesn't love Gu Yuanfang that much, it's just a favor for his face.
Princess Huasheng chuckled, "Madam Dongping is right, Fang'er, go home more often in the future."
"yes."
Princess Huasheng had already guessed that Linlang was not there, so she let Gu Yuanfang entertain the guests himself. She was not interested in continuing the conversation with them.
Humph, both the Anchang Marquis Mansion and the Dongping Marquis Mansion are waiting for me. Sooner or later, I will make you disappear from the capital.
Gu Yuanfang wanted to take them to sit over there, but Qian said, "Fang'er, go and busy yourself with greeting other guests. Let's talk to the ladies we know well."
"Fang'er, take your leave."
Gu Yuanfang felt upset. Qian deliberately said those words to embarrass her, which was really hateful.
