She thought she had dressed up beautifully today, but she turned out to be the ugliest one.
Now that Mrs. Lian called her over and looked unhappy, Lian Yiyi's mood suddenly became even worse.
"Mom, why did you call me over at this time? There are a bunch of people outside waiting for me to entertain them," Lian Yiyi said.
Mrs. Lian looked at Lian Yiyi without blinking and said nothing.
Lian Yiyi's scalp tingled when Mrs. Lian looked at her: "Mom, what on earth happened?"
"Yiyi, was it you who caused the cook to be injured?" asked Mrs. Lian.
A glimmer flashed in Lian Yiyi's eyes. She took a deep breath and gritted her teeth and said, "Mom, I don't know what you are talking about. I don't know what happened."
"You really don't know?" Mrs. Lian didn't believe it, because it was Lian Yiyi who told her in the beginning that she came up with this method to deal with Xie Yunjiao.
But she didn't agree.
Unexpectedly, Lian Yiyi ignored her advice and did this without telling her.
"Are you trying to piss off your mother to death? If this gets out, not only will Xie Yunjiao, the host of this banquet, be ridiculed, but our entire Lian family will also be unable to hold their heads up.
How can you be so stupid! "
Mrs. Lian raised her hand and was about to swing it at Lian Yiyi, but just as her hand was about to touch Lian Yiyi, she stopped.
Lian Yiyi was a piece of flesh that fell from her body, how could she bear to do anything to her?
"Forget it, now that things have come to this, you have to control the mouth of the person who helps you and don't let her leak a single word, otherwise..." Mrs. Lian glanced meaningfully at the personal maid beside Lian Yiyi.
The personal maid plopped down on her knees in front of Mrs. Lian and said, "Madam, I am yours in life and in death. I will never betray you."
Mrs. Lian finally nodded in satisfaction and said, "Remember what you said, otherwise not only you, but also your parents and your eight-year-old brother will suffer."
The personal maids of the Lian family are all family-born children. The parents of the personal maid next to Lian Yiyi both work for the Lian family, so she used this incident to threaten the little maid. The little maid was timid and was scared to tears. She kowtowed to her several times and said that she would never speak nonsense.
Only then did Mrs. Lian let Lian Yiyi leave.
After Lian Yiyi left Mrs. Lian's room, she really wanted to know what happened next, but she didn't dare ask anyone because she was afraid that others would suspect her.
It wasn't until the banquet began and everyone started to take their seats that Lian Yiyi was stunned when she saw the sumptuous and exquisite dishes on the table.
How did Xie Yunjiao do it? Why was she able to find a suitable chef in such a short time and make so many exquisite dishes?
These dishes are not something that a home cook can make.
At this time, Gu Huai and Xie Yunjiao came out with Lian Yan and Old Lady Lian, and solemnly introduced the identities of Gu Huai and Xie Yunjiao to everyone.
Only then did everyone realize the main purpose of the Lian family hosting this banquet.
Everyone was secretly looking at Gu Huai and Xie Yunjiao, and secretly talking about Lian Qi's departure from home.
"Xiao Lian, isn't that Sister Xie?" Yu Wan looked at Xie Yunjiao not far away in surprise.
Xie Yunjiao seemed to notice her gaze and smiled at her.
Only then did Yu Wan confirm that she was not dazzled!
"Master, Prince Yan is here." Butler Lian hurried to Lian Yan's side and said, "And Lord Xu from the Hanlin Academy."
Lian Yan looked at Doudou meaningfully. No need to guess, those two people came for Doudou.
Even though they knew that this banquet was fake, they still came to show their appreciation for Doudou.
Although Xu Heshan's official position was not high, his status in the court was very important and many people would try to curry favor with him.
But he disdains to associate with anyone and never takes sides.
His appearance will cause a stir.
Sure enough, when everyone saw Butler Lian bringing Xu Heshan and Yan Qing over, they were all shocked and wondering what kind of ability Lian Yan had to invite them over.
"Mom, were you the one who invited Master and the others over?" Doudou whispered to Xie Yunjiao.
"No, I didn't scream." Xie Yunjiao looked at Gu Huai, and Gu Huai shook his head.
He didn't shout either.
This kind of small scene doesn't require Xu Heshan and others to come out to calm the situation.
"Master Lian, I heard that you were hosting a banquet, so my disciple and I came here uninvited. Please forgive me." Xu Heshan said politely.
As he spoke, he looked in the direction of Doudou.
Lian Yan exchanged a few pleasantries with Xu Heshan and then took him to the main table, where he also let Xu Heshan sit in the main seat.
Xu Heshan didn't hesitate and sat down directly.
With his status, he can naturally sit in this position.
"Dou Dou, come here. I have something to discuss with you." Xu Heshan waved at Dou Dou in front of everyone.
Doudou didn't suspect anything, walked over and saluted: "Master."
"Boy, you have been in Beijing for such a long time, but you haven't come to our Hanlin Academy to sit down and drink tea. Isn't that unreasonable?" Xu Heshan said in a low voice.
He had accepted such a talented little apprentice and was thinking of taking him out to show off, but Doudou had been in the capital for several days and had not come to see him.
If he hadn't come, Doudou would have forgotten that he had such a master.
"I have tea at home, no need." Doudou said.
Xu Heshan: "..."
If there weren't so many people watching, he would have almost spit out the tea he had just drunk.
Listen, is this guy speaking human language?
"Junior brother, if you don't like going to the Hanlin Academy, why not come to my house? I have a lot of books at home, which are just right for you to read." Yan Qing said.
Doudou's eyes lit up: "Brother, is what you said true? I just happen to have a book I can't find. Can I go to your place to look for it?"
"Of course." Yan Qing said happily.
That’s great. With just a few simple words, he lured his junior brother to his home.
His junior brother is so cute and has great painting skills. He really needs to have a good communication with him.
uh-huh!
Yan Qing heard his master cough forcefully, and when he turned around he saw Xu Heshan staring at him with a dark face.
Yan Qing immediately asked, "Master, are you feeling unwell?"
"What do you think?" Xu Heshan said gritting his teeth.
Brat, are you blind? Can't you see that he's jealous?
How could he be happy when Xiao Doudou actually chose to go to Yan Qing instead of going to the Hanlin Academy to find him?
If he had known that he could use this excuse to bring Doudou to the Hanlin Academy, he would have said it long ago. The Hanlin Academy manages so many books, how could they possibly be missing Doudou's book?!
"Everyone, please pick up your chopsticks first, otherwise the food will get cold." Xie Yunjiao said.
The key is that if you don’t start eating, the people below won’t dare to eat.
