Chapter 183
"Mother-in-law, your daughter-in-law has been married into the family for a while now, and things at home are mostly settled. I'd like to invite my old friends from my youth over for a lively gathering. Would that be alright?"
Madam Zheng nodded: "You have plenty of space over there, so go ahead and do it."
As long as I don't bother her, it's fine.
Seeing that Madam Zheng looked tired, Yun Wan didn't want to keep her any longer and got up to take her leave.
The two left Rongxi Hall together and headed towards the south courtyard.
Yun Wan hadn't forgotten what Yun Xi had said earlier, and now her gaze towards Yun Xi was icy cold: "With the young master backing you up, things are indeed different; you're even bolder than before!"
I knew this girl was up to no good, but now, Yunxi can be described as outrageous!
"Could it be that the young mistress wants me to join you in deceiving the madam?" Yunxi looked up at her, puzzled.
Yun Wan narrowed her eyes.
What a pretentious act!
No matter how angry Yun Wan was, Madam Zheng said that Yun Xi's etiquette was already up to par, so she naturally couldn't use this as an excuse to make things difficult for Yun Xi.
Otherwise, wouldn't that be considered disregarding Zheng's words?
Besides, Yunwan had previously been suspected of disrespecting her mother-in-law, and it took her a long time of fawning over her to win over Zheng Shi. She dared not take the risk again.
Moreover, after that day, Yun Wan was busy preparing for the banquet, so she naturally had even less time to pay attention to Yun Xi. Yun Xi was finally able to relax and even go back to sleep after greeting Yun Wan.
However, this relaxed period only lasted for three to five days.
On this day, Chen Rang was on leave at home, which was also the time for Yun Wan to hold a grand banquet.
There is a garden in the South Courtyard with excellent scenery. It was built specifically for holding banquets. Even in the bleak late autumn, there are still fiery red maple leaves to see in this garden. Naturally, this banquet was also held here.
When Yun Wan was still a young lady in her boudoir, she had many friends because she was the daughter of the Minister of Revenue. Now that she has married into the Marquis's family, many people are naturally willing to grace her with their presence. The banquet was extremely lively, with noble ladies from the maple forest coming and going in groups, praising her endlessly.
"It's all thanks to Wanwan, otherwise how could we have the good fortune to enter the Marquis's residence and enjoy the scenery here?"
"That's right. Wanwan is now the young mistress of the Marquis's mansion. My parents have been nagging me at home, telling me to learn from Wanwan and be as ambitious as her! They really think highly of me. How can you learn something like that?"
The girl's words made Yun Wan smile, but she still said modestly, "Don't joke with me. What skills do I have? I'm just lucky to have won the prince as my husband."
Everyone knew she was being modest, and they all smiled in agreement.
Just then, Shu Ningshuang arrived.
She was dressed in a peach-pink dress, looking extremely charming, but her expression was sarcastic: "You don't know, when it comes to ability, Wanwan has a maid who came with her as part of her dowry, and that maid is really capable! Wanwan has only been married for a short time, and that maid has already risen to become a concubine by the young master's side!"
As soon as Shu Ningshuang finished speaking, everyone present gasped in astonishment: "Really?!"
"I think I saw the Crown Prince behaving intimately with a woman before, could it be her?"
"The whole of Luoyang was buzzing about her. Was she the woman who seduced the prince? Did she really succeed?"
"Such a thing actually happened?!"
Everyone looked at Yun Wan, who sighed and gave Shu Ning Shuang a reproachful look: "Ning Shuang, today is a wonderful day for the sisters to get together, why bring her up for no reason?"
Shu Ningshuang sat down next to Yun Wan and said, "If you ask me, since we sisters are all here now, we should bring that maid over so that we can avenge you!"
