Chapter 99 I'll show you the fun later
Waiting for something to happen is too slow, so the next day Zhou Yunshu took Wu Gui, Chunque and Du Mazi to Yang's house.
Or rather, it is the Princess's Mansion.
Because in just one night, the golden plaque on the door of Yang Mansion was replaced.
The guests who didn't know the reason speculated whether something big had happened in the Yang Mansion. Zhou Yunshu, who knew the inside story, just smiled and calmly walked into the Princess's Mansion with Wu Gui.
Butler Yang was once again entertaining the guests today. When Wu Gui saw Butler Yang, he took the initiative to ask, "I wonder if Wenhe has returned home?"
Butler Yang said politely, "The young master has returned home, but he is busy celebrating the princess' birthday and may not have time to see you."
What Butler Yang said was full of contradictions. Could it be that celebrating the birthday would delay entertaining the guests?
Today is Princess Yuyang's birthday. As Princess Yuyang's children, Yang Yuhao and Yang Xinyue should come out to receive male and female guests.
"It's okay, as long as you know I'm here." Wu Gui didn't question it and followed what Butler Yang said.
Wu Gui looked calm, but in his heart he was surprised at Zhou Yunshu's knowledge of the Princess's Mansion.
When she came today, she was worried that she would be exposed as a fake on the spot, but who knew that if Zhou Yunshu said Yang Yuhao couldn't see them, he really wouldn't see them.
Wu Gui handed the neatly wrapped book to Butler Yang, "This is the book Wenhe lent me. Please pass it on."
Steward Yang solemnly took it in his hand and said to Wu Gui, "Please come this way, Young Master Wang. A seat has been prepared for you and your wife."
Wu Gui smiled and nodded, then walked towards the banquet with Zhou Yunshu, who had been holding her arm without saying a word.
On the way, Wu Gui whispered, "How can we find out?"
Zhou Yunshu smiled and said, "Don't worry, there is a way."
After all, today is Princess Yuyang's birthday, she won't really not let Yang Yuhao out.
Yang Bingtian was treated so badly that he probably couldn't even get out of bed. If Yang Yuhao and Yang Xinyue didn't show up, rumors about the Princess's Mansion would be flying everywhere.
The princess' birthday banquet was very grand. In order to hold this banquet, Yang Bingtian specially had people dig a lake in the mansion, built a circle of warm pavilions along the lake, and even had an island in the middle of the lake.
The island in the middle of the lake was made to look like a stage. When Zhou Yunshu and the other three were led into the warm room, a troupe of actors were playing music on the island, and the actor in the center of the stage was wearing a rose-red costume with water sleeves and singing with true feelings.
Zhou Yunshu only listened once and knew that the person was not Liu Fuyi.
Zhou Yunshu went to the female guests' side, while Wu Gui was led to the male guests' side. Coincidentally, among the family members at the table where Zhou Yunshu was sitting, there happened to be a family with the surname Zhang.
Originally, Zhou Yunshu didn't know who this family was. Later, when she heard that their manager was killed by the Red Lotus Sect after entering the territory of Wolong Mountain, Zhou Yunshu remembered the unlucky guy who was killed by Mad Dog as a warning to others.
"Mrs. Zhang is here to apologize to the princess!"
A plump woman with droopy eyes smiled at a young woman wearing a crescent-shaped phoenix-tail silk skirt next to her and said, "Everyone knows that the Red Lotus Mother and the princess are like sisters. Your family's steward is so disrespectful to the Red Lotus Mother. Isn't this a slap in the face of the princess?"
The two families are rivals. Although the manager is dead, she will not miss any chance to throw dirty water at anyone.
The young woman smiled politely and said, "What is the status of the princess, and what is the status of Madam Qi?"
"The princess says this because she's kindhearted. Could it be that Madam Zhao also truly believes that the Red Lotus Saint is on par with the princess?"
Zhou Yunshu was eating the cloud cake in front of her while listening to the two women opposite her arguing with each other, neither of them giving in.
"Madam Wang."
Zhou Yunshu felt a little greasy after eating the pastries. Just as she picked up a candied green plum, she heard someone next to her calling "Mrs. Wang".
Zhou Yunshu looked up at the little maid standing beside her and said with a smile, "You called me?"
"Yes, Madam Wang, our cousin invites you to take a seat."
Zhou Yunshu put down the plum, picked up her handkerchief and wiped her fingers carefully, then stood up with a smile and said, "Okay."
The place where Du Huairou invited Zhou Yunshu was in the largest warm room in the middle of the lake, which had a total of five tables.
When Zhou Yunshu arrived, there were only two tables at the back of the warm room occupied, one for male guests and the other for female guests.
Du Huairou personally led Zhou Yunshu to the women's table after she saw her come in. "Madam, please sit here."
Zhou Yunshu glanced at the three empty tables. Du Huairou immediately understood what she meant. He put his hands on her shoulders and said with a smile, "I'll let you watch the fun later."
Zhou Yunshu didn't know why. Although Du Huairou looked completely normal now, she still sensed a hint of madness beneath her gentle tone. It made her feel like the first time they met in the dilapidated temple.
"good."
Before Du Huairou left, Zhou Yunshu handed her a candied fruit and said, "This is sweet."
Du Huairou was stunned for a moment, then bent down and took the candied fruit from Zhou Yunshu's fingertips into her mouth, "Thank you, ma'am."
After Du Huairou left, the other women at the table saw that Zhou Yunshu and the princess's niece had such a close relationship, and they couldn't help but feel curious about the relationship between them.
"I am Lu Chengshuang, the fourth daughter of the Lu family of the Luzhou Transportation Bureau. My father is the Lu Transportation Commissioner of Luzhou. I wonder which family this lady is from?"
The oval-faced woman sitting on Zhou Yunshu's right, wearing a gold brocade dress, looked at her curiously and asked.
Zhou Yunshu looked at Lu Chengshuang, who was dressed modestly but luxuriously, and said with a smile, "My husband's surname is Wang, and he has no achievements yet."
"Is that so?" Lu Chengshuang's eyes flashed with doubt, "I thought you were a good friend of Miss Du Er."
"I guess so."
Lu Chengshuang nodded and didn't ask any further questions. After all, judging from the material of Zhou Yunshu's clothes, she didn't look like someone from a wealthy family.
Since no one spoke to her, Zhou Yunshu sat down at her seat and ate and drank. She was the only one eating at the table with a little girl who was in her early teens.
It didn't matter that the girl was a little younger, but Zhou Yunshu's oblivious manner of eating attracted the attention of everyone else at the table.
When they looked at her, Zhou Yunshu said openly, "I'm pregnant and can't stand being hungry. I made the ladies laugh at me."
"That's what pregnancy is like."
"You look so thin, you don't look pregnant, right?"
Zhou Yunshu didn't expect that her words "I'm pregnant" would start the conversations of the ladies present.
"I was wearing a lot of clothes, and maybe it was because of my physique that I didn't look that pregnant."
The older man beside her looked at the lady who was about forty years old and nodded: "It's like this. When I was pregnant with Yan'er, my belly was not noticeable even when I was about to give birth. It was because of my physical constitution."
Someone laughed and said, "It seems this lady is also pregnant with a daughter."
The people around him shut up when they heard the ill intentions in this person's words, but Zhou Yunshu said without caring at all: "Children are a blessing."
"Having too many daughters is not a blessing." The man glanced around and continued, "The eldest daughter of the Yang family has been married for many years, and now she only has three daughters."
"Luckily she is the princess's daughter, otherwise...tsk tsk..."
A woman with a pointed face covered her mouth with one hand and laughed, "That's not easy. I heard that the Red Lotus Holy Mother, who is friendly with the princess, will bless you with having a child. Once Miss Yang is sent to the Red Lotus Cult, I guarantee you'll get one in three days..."
"Okay, these things are not ours to discuss!"
The woman who had previously agreed with Zhou Yunshu that her pregnancy was not obvious stopped her coldly.
