Chapter 32 Mid-Autumn Banquet
"Have someone keep a close eye on them, and don't let the second wife's evil intentions reach the first wife. If it's a crisis, help her if you can."
Although I, an old man, may not be able to help my grandson's wife given her abilities, it's always good to keep an eye on her.
Ah Fu naturally understood, "Yes."
Yu was indeed extremely angry and annoyed, and she even regretted her bastard son Huo Siyuan for giving away such a capable and virtuous Liang Weiyuan.
He grabbed Huo Siyuan's ear and gave him a good scolding, and then he blamed Liang Shanyu all over.
Liang Weiyuan heard all of these rumors, but he was happy and relaxed, letting these evildoers fight with each other.
Time passed quietly amid the commotion in the second room.
It’s the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet day.
As the sun set, the residences of the officials and nobles who had received invitations to the banquet began to bustle with activity.
In the Qingzhu Courtyard, Meishu, who was very clever and skillful, was doing the final makeup for Liang Weiyuan when she suddenly heard a burst of screams and noise outside.
"The Second Madam is so beautiful in her outfit today. She looks even more majestic than any other lady in the palace!"
"That's right, the Second Madam is always a charming and lovely girl when she's not wearing any makeup. Now that she's dressed up, she's even more like a fairy."
After Liang Shanyu dressed up, she came here specifically to hang out.
Listening to the maids' shocked and envious praise, Liang Shanyu raised her chin proudly, her eyes fell proudly on the Qingzhu Courtyard, and she raised her voice.
"Sister, it's almost time to enter the palace. Why haven't you finished dressing yet? The whole family is waiting for you. Hurry up."
It seems like he's urging her, but who can't hear the boasting in his voice?
Zhu Shu rolled his eyes and stormed into the house.
"This Second Madam is indeed wearing the same emerald green dress that our young lady disdains."
"Humph, Yu Shi wanted to secretly return it that day. She used her own dowry money to ask for it from Yu Shi, and then asked the embroiderer to make some changes. Did she think that others wouldn't be able to see it?"
"You actually have the nerve to dress like this and compare yourself to our girl."
Now that the Marquis's Mansion was in decline, Yu Shi was actually very short of money, so it was extremely painful for her to buy that jade and gold skirt.
That day, Yu said she would quietly return the clothes no matter what, and Liang Shanyu intercepted her in time.
The second branch felt ashamed and kept the news a secret, which resulted in the news being little known.
But Liang Weiyuan had always had people keeping an eye on the second house, and Zhushu and the others knew the inside story, so they looked down on Liang Shanyu even more.
"That smug look on my face, I really thought I'd turn into a phoenix just by donning the bridal robe!"
While Zhushu was chattering, Meishu had already finished doing Liang Weiyuan's makeup.
Looking at the woman in front of him, Zhu Shu opened his mouth and was stunned with deep surprise.
"Girl!"
Liang Weiyuan glared at Zhushu. Zhushu was straightforward, but he was a chatterbox.
She almost got a headache from the noise.
"Don't keep your parents-in-law waiting. Let's go."
Supported by Meishu, Liang Weiyuan slowly walked out of the room.
"Second Madam, your dress is so dazzling. It must be made of the finest Shu brocade, right? It really makes your complexion look even more beautiful."
The maids from the second house were still chattering around Liang Shanyu, spouting free and obedient words like pouring beans.
Especially when she heard about the material, Liang Shanyu's eyes and eyebrows showed even more pride.
"You girls really know what you are talking about."
It was true that she had bought this dress from Yu at a high price.
However, the embroidery pattern above is a novel and popular style that will only appear in the future. She drew it herself based on her memory from her previous life and then asked the embroiderer to modify it.
This is the only skirt in the world today, not even the princess has it!
Liang Shanyu covered her lips and giggled, staring at Qingzhu Courtyard with burning eyes.
She just didn't believe that she couldn't overshadow Liang Weiyuan today.
"Sister..." Just when Liang Shanyu was excited and wanted to continue urging her.
Suddenly, with a creak, the door opened.
The moment Liang Weiyuan walked out, all the sounds inside and outside the courtyard suddenly stopped.
Liang Shanyu and the maids all widened their eyes at the same time.
Liang Weiyuan was wearing a dark blue brocade dress, standing in the dim glow of the sunset. Her black hair fell like a waterfall on her shoulders. The pearls on her phoenix hairpin trembled with her steps, making the flower ornaments between her eyebrows more dazzling.
That face, which was smudged with rouge to the perfect degree, seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, making it even more clear and beautiful. The upturned corners of her eyes were slightly raised, even sharper than the gold threads of the brocade on her body.
She is dignified and cool, and is intimidating without even getting angry.
