Thinking of this, he looked at Shen Jiaojiao who was standing beside him, "Shen Ruyi is going to marry Gu Qinghua, and you will have nothing to do with her in the future. You and Gu Qinghua had such a fight, and you still dared to come here today. You are really shameless."

Shen Jiaojiao didn't expect that the eldest princess would vent her anger on her, and she couldn't help feeling depressed.

But she did not respond directly, she just lowered her eyes and said humbly: "Yes, Jiaojiao's life is worthless. Even if someone takes her body, she can only hide in the corner and cry secretly."

Having said that, he suddenly changed the subject and stabbed the princess with a soft knife.

"Who made my sister so popular? The princes and noblemen present today all praised her highly. If my sister had not been engaged to my cousin Qinghua, the matchmakers who were looking for marriage would have already stepped through the door of the Shen family."

As she spoke, she glanced at Yan Weiyun vaguely.

The eldest princess's nails dug into her palms.

The person she loves loves Shen Ruyi.

In this sense, she and Shen Jiaojiao are the same... A surge of anger arose in her heart, and her face became increasingly uglier.

"What do you mean?"

The eldest princess couldn't swallow this and couldn't help but question Shen Jiaojiao.

"ah?"

Shen Jiaojiao opened her innocent eyes wide, looking confused, as if she really had no intention of saying it and was just lamenting her own tragic fate, with no intention of alluding to the eldest princess at all.

The eldest princess' chest was heaving with anger, but she couldn't lash out in front of so many people.

Shen Jiaojiao sneered in her heart.

Weakness and humility are also a knife.

She had already learned how to use it.

If the princess is angry, let her vent it on Shen Ruyi. She is not that easy to bully!

Shen Ruyi watched the two of them interacting with each other, and gradually became anxious, "No one else will come, right? Why don't you hold a banquet to give out gifts?"

"Probably not."

Rong Yan answered and asked her, "Is the wound hurting again?"

"Not really," Shen Ruyi shook her head, "but the more we get entangled, the more likely it is that something will go wrong. I don't know when the banquet will officially start."

As he spoke, he looked at Minister Gu and Old Madam Gu.

Because many people who shouldn't have come to the birthday party came, Minister Gu felt uneasy, so he stepped forward and whispered to the old lady: "Mother, in order to avoid more trouble, let's start the banquet."

The old lady was not too happy either, she nodded and said, "Let's have the feast."

Suddenly, a group of maids came in with fine wine and delicious food. According to the customs of Northern Qi, the guests had to toast and give gifts to the birthday person before the banquet began.

Women drink tea instead of wine.

"It's about to begin. Are you ready?"

Rong Yan glanced at Shen Ruyi beside him.

In such an occasion, with princes and nobles as the main attraction, as well as Concubine Li, as well as the prime minister and the minister of rites, it was impossible for Shen Ruyi, a weak woman, not to be nervous in the face of such a group of people. Any one of them could kill her.

But she had already died once and didn't want to die this time.

Before meeting Rong Yan, her original plan was to learn poison techniques from the old beggar, and then prepare poisons for self-defense. If someone tried to harm her after she broke off the engagement, she could still poison them to negotiate terms and create a single-plank bridge for herself.

But there is always a risk of falling on a single-plank bridge.

To risk death for freedom is a very bad idea.

Therefore, Rong Yan's attitude today is crucial to her.

She looked at Rong Yan, "If Senior Brother is ready, then I am ready."

At such a close distance, the woman's pupils trembled slightly, filled with extreme nervousness, like a lone assassin entering the enemy camp.

It's a fight to the death, there's no turning back.

Rong Yan looked at her, a long pain rising in his heart, and he said hoarsely: "I am behind you."

The corners of Shen Ruyi's mouth rose slightly.

At this time, someone had already presented a birthday gift, and the sound of congratulations drowned out the whispers between the two of them.

Shen Ruyi finally waited until this stage, took a deep breath and cheered herself up, waiting for the people in front of her to finish speaking and finish what they needed to do, so as to offend fewer people.

After a commotion, Shen Jiaojiao stood up, took out a scroll of embroidery and handed it to the maid, then raised the teacup and said to the old lady in a tender voice: "Jiaojiao wishes the old lady a long life and happiness as vast as the East Sea! This longevity scroll was embroidered by Jiaojiao herself. It's not very good, so please don't dislike it, old lady."

The maid presented the centenary longevity picture.

This thing is not worth mentioning among the many treasures, but because it was embroidered by hand, it looks very attentive, which makes the old lady very happy. She said "good" twice, "I didn't expect that you, who came from the countryside, can embroider so well. I like this picture."

Shen Yuewan also nodded, "This embroidery is really good."

To be fair, the picture is average and the embroidery is also average.

However, compared to Shen Ruyi, who sat and chatted and laughed with a group of men, Shen Yuewan loved her niece Shen Jiaojiao so much.

This is what a girl looks like!

Shen Ruyi looked at the expressions of the old lady and Shen Yuewan, and a moment of trance flashed through her mind.

In her previous life, the embroidery she gave was three meters long, with a thousand-year-old pine tree and cranes singing. Even the embroiderers in the palace were amazed, but what did the old lady of the Gu family say?

She said, "It's a pity that such a beautiful design was created by a vicious woman! I am an old lady and I have lived to such an old age, but I can't live a long life just by wishing someone a happy birthday! Someone, destroy this dirty thing for me, take it out and burn it to get rid of the bad luck!"

Shen Yuewan said: "Shen Ruyi, you are vicious and jealous, and you are not worthy of our Qinghua. Today I will break my engagement with you, and we will have nothing to do with each other from now on! Come, drag her out!"

Gu Qinghua said: "Shen Ruyi, Jiaojiao and I love each other, the marriage contract between the Shen and Gu families will be completed by us. From now on, I don't want you to appear in front of me, otherwise I will beat you every time I see you!"

Shen Cangyun said: "From now on, I don't have a daughter like Shen Ruyi. When you see her in the future, you don't have to consider the Prime Minister's Mansion's face!"

This is no different from allowing others to bully and trample on her.

At that time, Gu Qinghua and Shen Jiaojiao were standing in the house hand in hand.

In full view of everyone, the servants of the Gu family dragged her out. She even vomited blood several times, but no one cared.

They left her outside the gate.

It’s really good.

Shen Ruyi came back to her senses and touched the marriage certificate in her sleeve pocket.

In her previous life, she came to celebrate birthdays, and today she came to see the old lady of the Gu family off to the west.

As for the others, she will send them to heaven one by one!

Old Madam Gu actually wanted to say a few more words to Shen Jiaojiao, but because today's main purpose was to win over Shen Ruyi, she had to hold back.

But he couldn't help but think that Gu Qinghua and Shen Jiaojiao had been together for quite a while. If Shen Jiaojiao was pregnant with Gu Qinghua's child, then as the bloodline of the Gu family, she must not be left outside...

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Gu Qinghua again.

Gu Qinghua also likes Shen Jiaojiao's tenderness and charm. He seems more like a man when he is with Shen Jiaojiao, but the power behind Shen Ruyi is too tempting.

So, when Shen Jiaojiao looked at him, he immediately pulled Shen Ruyi out, "Ruyi, everyone's gifts have been given out, it's your turn, take out your gift as well."
