Chapter 293 Guests at the Front Hall Banquet
As Ding Yuehua spoke, she walked inside. Yi Xiang's expression changed drastically, and she anxiously blocked her way. "Second Miss, our young lady has already gone to bed and we can't find her."
"What, you think you can stop me?"
Ding Yuehua brushed her aside and walked straight inside.
Shu Yu felt that this was ultimately a family matter for the Ding family, and she shouldn't get involved, so she stood outside the courtyard.
Who knew that Yi Xiang, unable to stop Ding Yuehua, turned and ran without saying a word to report the news.
But Xiaoyun kept her eyes on her, and as soon as she ran, she was caught and captured.
Ding Yuehua stepped out and said, "Where exactly is Third Sister? If you don't tell me honestly, I'll suspect you have ulterior motives and want to harm Third Sister. In that case, I'll just beat you to death."
Ding Yuehua, being the legitimate daughter and also involved in business outside the home, exuded a formidable aura when she frowned.
Yi Xiang was clearly unable to hold on any longer. With a mournful face, she was quickly intimidated and confessed, "Third Miss, she, she went to the front hall."
Front hall?
Ding Yuehua frowned. "What is she doing in the front hall? Is she going to cause some trouble again?"
The use of "again" is quite ingenious.
Shu Yu raised her head slightly. She had seen this third young lady once before. At that time, she was punished by Madam Ding and made to kneel outside Ding Yuehua's courtyard. Tears streamed down her face, and she looked pitiful. She didn't even dare to cry out loud.
But Shu Yu had seen the scar on Ding Yuehua's forehead. The scar was rather long and large, so it was unlikely that it was accidentally cut during the struggle.
If it wasn't unintentional, then it must have been that third young lady... doing it on purpose.
She attempted suicide after being jilted at the altar, but ended up disfiguring Ding Yuehua's face.
The technique was just not very skillful; Shu Yu could tell, and the doctor who treated Ding Yuehua probably could too.
Whether the doctor would tell Mrs. Ding about this remains to be seen.
Now, Ding Yuehua speaks of her third sister with a look of disdain, which suggests she knows that this person is not some innocent and pitiful little white rabbit.
Internal strife within wealthy families is indeed incredibly complex.
Shu Yu sighed inwardly. Ding Yuehua had already instructed Xiao Yun to inquire about the situation in the front hall.
Xiaoyun returned quickly, her expression somewhat strange, and said, "Miss, in the front hall... the eldest young master is hosting a banquet."
"A banquet? Who are the guests?"
"It seems to be the Zhang family's young master and his group from the neighboring county."
The Zhang family's young master? From the neighboring county? Them?
Shu Yu suddenly raised her head. Could it be what she was thinking?
The thought had barely formed in her mind when Ding Yuehua's expression changed slightly. "Oh no, I have to go to the front hall. Third Sister is indeed up to no good again."
Ding Yuehua hurriedly walked to the front hall, and after a few steps she instructed Xiaoyun, "Please entertain Master Lu properly for me."
Xiaoyun, who was about to follow, stopped and turned around to look at Shuyu.
Shu Yu also wanted to know if this Young Master Zhang was the same person they had seen in the peach blossom grove yesterday, so she said to Xiao Yun, "Let's go and take a look, just in case something happens."
"But, but..."
"No buts, your young lady is all alone now, who knows if she'll suffer a loss." Before Xiaoyun could find a way to stop her, Shuyu had already taken a step forward and chased after her.
When she arrived, she saw Ding Yuehua leading Ding Yuerong, the third daughter of the Ding family, out.
Ding Yuerong clearly didn't want to leave, but she also had a maidservant by her side to help her.
