Soon, Xiao Hanzheng also received the same news.
Shi Qingluo became even more determined to deal with Ge Chunru.
This woman only remembers the food and not the beating. This time she wants to see how the other party will get away with it.
Two days later, Qi Yiyang personally went to the Xiao Mansion to deliver the invitation.
"The flower viewing banquet will be in three days, remember to come."
He then said to Shi Qingluo: "I have already done what I promised you."
Shi Qingluo chuckled, "I didn't reveal that you are a flower thief."
Qi Yiyang: “…”
He emphasized, "I am not a flower thief, don't talk nonsense."
Shi Qingluo shrugged, "It wasn't me who said that, it was you who shouted it."
Qi Yiyang: "..." You can't get over it, right? "I helped you accomplish this, so just forget about what happened before."
Shi Qingluo stopped teasing him and said, "No problem."
Qi Yiyang knew that Shi Qingluo was a man who kept his promises, so he felt relieved.
"Well, I came here today to remind you of something."
Shi Qingluo asked: "What's the matter?"
Qi Yiyang repeated what the fifth prince had told him, "So even if we didn't take action that day, Ge Chunru would have taken action against your sister-in-law."
"Zheng Tongfeng has also agreed. He urgently needs to marry a wife to provide cover for the family."
Shi Qingluo was a little surprised that Qi Yiyang knew this and came to remind them.
Xiao Hanzheng asked: "Who told you this?"
With Qi Yiyang's ability, it is obviously impossible to find out this.
After all, when Sister Ge Chunru spoke that day, she called all the maids out.
Qi Yiyang found that Xiao Hanzheng was indeed a smart guy. "The Fifth Prince told me that, and he also asked me to tell you."
"Mainly, I don't want your sister to be tricked."
Xiao Hanzheng smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Fifth Prince."
Seeing that Xiao Hanzheng and his wife didn't seem surprised or angry about Ge Chunru's plan, "You didn't know about it a long time ago, did you?"
Xiao Hanzheng nodded: "We already know it, but thank you for reminding us."
So he couldn't be said to owe the second prince this favor.
Of course, the Second Prince and the Fifth Prince were showing goodwill in this way. As long as they didn't cause trouble for him and his wife in the future, he would not take the initiative to cause trouble for them again.
Qi Yiyang: "..." Why is there such a big gap between people? Xiao Hanzheng is younger than him, but he is more experienced than him, and his intelligence and means are even higher.
The key point is that he was born in the Duke's Mansion, and Xiao Hanzheng was just a country boy.
He was a little shocked at this moment.
Shi Qingluo saw that Qi Yiyang looked like he was hit, and smiled and comforted him, "You don't have to compare yourself with my husband. After all, we are not on the same level. Compared with your peers, you are already very good."
Qi Yiyang: “…” Is this to show off your husband, or to comfort him, huh.
But I do feel a little better.
He is not comparable to a monster like Xiao Hanzheng. He is indeed considered very good among his peers.
He will try out at number nineteen. His father seems to be walking with the wind lately.
All of his cousins were envious and jealous of him.
Shi Qingluo said: "Then go and prepare. We will bring Bai Li to the banquet in three days."
Originally they were planning to take Bai Li with them, and it must be said that Ge Chunyi had calculated it right.
Seeing that they were prepared, Qi Yiyang stood up and said, "Okay, see you in three days."
Three days later.
Xiao Hanzheng took Shi Qingluo and Xiao Baili to the banquet.
Most of the wives of officials of the fourth rank and above also attended the event with their families.
Especially those families of the fourth rank or above who have unengaged daughters are more enthusiastic about this flower-viewing banquet.
Zheng Tongfeng did not receive an invitation because he failed the provincial examination and naturally did not participate in the imperial examination.
Qi Yiyang invited all those who had participated in the imperial examination and won places.
This is why Shi Qingluo asked Qi Yiyang not to invite Zheng Tongfeng deliberately after she knew about Ge Chunru and the others' plan, otherwise it would seem a bit deliberate.
And the more this happens, the more it seems that there are problems with Zheng Tongfeng and Ge Chunru.
Otherwise, you were not invited, so why did a man come here on his own initiative? Zheng Tongfeng was not invited, but he came with Mrs. Zheng as a family member.
Mrs. Zheng didn't know his plan. After all, she wouldn't be happy to see her daughter-in-law marry into the family with a damaged reputation. That would be too embarrassing.
Ge Chunru asked her maid to instigate Zheng Tongfeng.
What this means is that if Xiao Baili's innocence is ruined and she marries him, she will naturally be inferior to him after entering the mansion.
She is no longer qualified to use her status as the legal wife as an excuse, and his parents will also be unhappy about this.
He brought his lover back home, and Xiao Baili naturally had to accept it with a pinch of her nose, not daring to make trouble.
Just let Xiao Baili die of illness in the future and make room for his concubine.
Men and women are separated at the flower-viewing banquet.
Although the discrimination between men and women in Daliang is not serious, there are still many unmarried men and women, and it is not suitable for them to get together.
Ge Chunru attended the banquet as the general's wife.
However, after she came in, the other ladies were rather distant towards her, and many were even very cold.
He gets along with Ge Chunru, who seems disdainful of having a concubine and is Xiao Yuanshi's niece.
Some ladies who were on good terms with the men even whispered to each other, "This Ge Chunru actually had the nerve to come out. He's really shameless."
"He can get involved with his father's sworn brother and use some trickery to get rid of his wife. He has no shame to begin with, so what shame do he have left?"
"She doesn't have a daughter or anything, and I heard she can't have children yet. Is it interesting to attend a flower-viewing banquet like this?"
"Who knows her? If I had her reputation, I would be embarrassed to even go out, let alone attend a party."
"Besides, she will be going to the Northern Frontier with General Xiao in a while, so she doesn't need to come to the flower viewing banquet to make friends."
By then, people will have left and the tea will have been forgotten. What's the point of socializing? "She wants to make friends, but we're not happy about it."
"I don't know what she wants today."
Many people were puzzled as to how Ge Chunru, who had already lost his reputation, could still have the nerve to attend the flower-viewing banquet.
Ge Chunru was sitting alone and naturally noticed everyone's disdain and coldness towards her. No one took the initiative to sit next to her.
What's more, she even saw several people gathered together to whisper, and she felt that they were talking about her.
I was so angry that the handkerchief in my hand was about to be torn.
If she wasn't afraid that Zheng Tongfeng would back down, she would come to keep an eye on it. She also wanted to see Xiao Baili's reputation ruined with her own eyes. She really didn't want to come today.
At this time, Shi Qingluo and Xi Rong also walked in with Xiao Baili.
As the Marquis of Zhennan, Xi Rong was naturally also among the invited guests.
Originally, she didn't like to attend such flower-viewing banquets, but this time she came to accompany Shi Qingluo.
He even waited at the door and walked in with Shi Qingluo, showing his willingness to support his friend.
This way, there won’t be any blind people who would use their status to pressure their friends.
In fact, if she didn't do this, the ladies present would not take the initiative to offend Shi Qingluo.
Although Shi Qingluo was not of high status and had no background, everyone knew that she was on good terms with Xi Rong and others, and that she could have direct access to the ears of the emperor.
The lessons from the Third Prince’s wife and General Xiao are right in front of us, and no one is a fool.
When Shi Qingluo walked in, he saw Ge Chunru sitting alone, isolated.
She took the initiative to greet them with a smile, "Sister Ge, you are here too!"
When this name was called out, several ladies almost spit out their tea, and many ladies put their handkerchiefs to their mouths to cover their smiles.
Shi Qingluo is so amazing at this time. It seems that they will have a good show to watch today.
