Chapter 1211 Seeing Kong Zhiyou's True Colors
Ding Yuehua then realized that the couple had come specifically for Shu Yu.
No, it should be said that they came for Lord Qi and Lord Yao, who were behind Shu Yu.
She felt extremely uncomfortable and didn't stay long. After finishing her meal, she said goodbye and left early.
I originally thought that everyone would tacitly agree on this matter and gradually drift apart in the future.
However, the next day, Kong Zhiyou came to visit.
This person has always been very gentle; at least Ding Yuehua has never seen her yell or curse.
But on that day, she met a completely different Kong Zhiyou.
She blamed Ding Yuehua for not telling her about this sooner, causing her to lose face after inviting so many guests.
Ding Yuehua then realized that most of the invitations sent out by Kong Zhiyou were actually sent under Shu Yu's name.
It's known that the Kong family was well-off, but although her husband had achieved official rank, his family wasn't wealthy. Therefore, after their marriage, Kong Zhiyou inevitably had to be frugal with her food, clothing, and housing, which was quite different from before.
As a result, she participated less in the entertainment activities of wealthy young ladies and wives. Some friends with whom she had only a casual relationship gradually drifted apart. Some even laughed at her behind her back, saying that in order to become the wife of an official in the future, she had turned herself into a haggard old woman, and that even if her husband became an official, she would still be disliked.
For her birthday celebration, Kong Zhiyou invited all of these people over.
Some people were initially reluctant to come, but Kong Zhiyou tactfully indicated that Lu Xiangjun would also be there that day.
As a result, Shu Yu was never seen at the banquet, from beginning to end.
Kong Zhiyou was furious, especially since her husband's family hadn't initially approved of her holding such a grand birthday banquet. Their eventual agreement was only out of consideration for Shu Yu, as they wanted to leverage the resources behind Shu Yu.
In the end, nothing came of it. Kong Zhiyou not only lost face in front of her friends that day, but also faced all sorts of blame from her husband's family. In the end, her husband even beat her.
Kong Zhiyou took all her anger out on Ding Yuehua and came to settle the score with her the next day.
Ding Yuehua was furious. She had clearly asked Xiaoyun to inform her and explain the reason beforehand, but now she was being blamed.
Xiaoyun informed Qiuju, the maidservant beside Kong Zhiyou, but Qiuju denied it to the death, insisting that she had never seen Xiaoyun and had never heard of Lu Xiangjun leaving the capital.
They both insisted that the other was at fault, and the two parted on bad terms, never to see each other again.
Ding Yuehua said to Shu Yu, "You know Xiaoyun. How could she not do a good job on something I specifically asked her to do? But that Qiuju, her eyes were shifting when she spoke. It was obvious that she was lying."
Xiaoyun was walking behind the two of them and naturally heard the conversation between Ding Yuehua and Shu Yu.
She pursed her lips, then suddenly added, "I know why Qiuju lied."
Ding Yuehua suddenly turned her head, "You know?"
Xiaoyun nodded, took a few steps forward, and whispered, "After Miss and Mrs. Chen had a falling out, I was indignant and wanted to know why Qiuju would frame me and make Miss get scolded by Mrs. Chen. So I've been keeping an eye on her secretly."
She used to call herself Miss Kong Zhiyou, but she doesn't like that anymore and only calls herself Mrs. Chen.
"When I went to Yiren Pavilion to pick up the clothes for Miss yesterday, I saw Qiuju."
