Chapter 26 Can’t you be a little kinder?
"Of course I like it," Lu Changqing excitedly supported her soft body, "You've worked hard, Miaoyan. I didn't expect you to be so attentive for Yaoer and Yuaner's birthday banquet. I will definitely treat you well in the future."
"Sister-in-law!" Lu Wanrou, who had just been slapped, ran over, took Xu Miaoyan's arm and complimented her, "You danced so beautifully just now. I understand! White bird facing phoenix...you are the phoenix!"
She raised her voice deliberately so that everyone could hear it.
"No, no," Xu Miaoyan smiled shyly and looked at the handsome man beside her, "I'm sorry for making a fool of myself. I'm just trying to cheer up Lu Lang."
Several of Lu Changqing's colleagues came over and surrounded him and Xu Miaoyan. "Lord Lu and Miss Xu are truly a loving couple. We are feasting our eyes today. We heard that Miss Xu is the reincarnation of the Saint of the Nation. It really lives up to her reputation."
"I don't deserve it." Xu Miaoyan lowered her head shyly.
"By the way, where are the two white cranes? Can we see them? That would bring good luck." There is a saying in Dayong that "those who are close to cranes will live long and ascend to heaven", so everyone wants to touch the white cranes.
The guests began to search for the white cranes in the garden and found that the two white birds had not flown away, but were circling around Fang Qianxue.
Fang Qianxue stood beside the porch column and asked Cuishuang to grab a handful of food to feed the birds.
Xu Miaoyan saw this scene and sneered.
Do you think you can make the white bird obey you by feeding it a few bites of food? Fang, you are so pathetic, imitating others!
No wonder she, with her fate as a phoenix girl, has only become the wife of a sixth-rank official and can't even keep her own man.
"Miao Yan, call the two white cranes over and let the adults see them." Lu Changqing said.
"Okay." Xu Miaoyan covered her mouth with one hand and imitated two high-pitched crane calls, but the two white cranes remained indifferent and continued to follow Cui Shuang and Fang Qianxue in eating.
Everyone looked at Xu Miaoyan in confusion.
It's strange. Isn't it said that the saint can summon a white crane? How come she can't summon one from a distance of only ten feet?
"They were tired and hungry just now, so they were so greedy," Xu Miaoyan explained awkwardly, and winked at the maid beside her, "Xiangqiu, bring the Nanhai Luhuaxiang over here."
"Yes." Hydrangea came over holding the incense pill.
Xu Miaoyan raised her hand and fanned the incense pill twice, and the faint fragrance suddenly became stronger, but the two white cranes still showed no intention of flying over.
Several officials who were waiting to see the white crane up close gradually lost their patience and began to whisper, while some of them dispersed impatiently.
Lu Changqing was also a little anxious: "Miao Yan, didn't you say that no matter what kind of creature it is, as long as you summon them, they will listen to you?"
Xu Miaoyan shouted angrily: "Come here quickly, both of you!"
The two white cranes just looked up at her and continued eating.
The men showed disappointment on their faces, and they all bowed to Lu Changqing: "Forget it, Lord Lu, Miss Xu may be too tired today."
"They... are probably too hungry." Xu Miaoyan bit her lips tightly, and the hatred in her watery eyes became more and more obvious as she looked at Fang Qianxue.
Are you two the reincarnation of starving ghosts? Eat, eat, eat, that’s all you know how to do!
Fang Qianxue also had ulterior motives. She chose to feed them something at this time, deliberately trying to make things difficult for her.
Well, since you are unkind, don’t blame me for being unjust!
Lu Changqing had no choice but to shout to Fang Qianxue, "Qianxue, Miaoyan has put so much effort into your banquet, you should at least come over and thank her!"
Fang Qianxue walked over slowly, and the two white cranes followed her obediently, one on the left and one on the right, walking towards her step by step with their thin legs raised.
Everyone stared in amazement. It was clearly the auspicious white crane summoned by Xu, so why was it following Fang so closely?
This world is becoming increasingly incomprehensible.
"Miss Xu's show just now was really eye-opening. It reminded me of the circus I watched when I was a child. Thank you for your trouble." Fang Qianxue raised her eyebrows and looked at the man and woman in front of her.
The guests couldn't help laughing. The Second Madam was truly amazing. With just a few words, she outshined Madam Xu.
"They say she's performing in the circus to amuse people!" a woman laughed.
"What's this about female silkworm officials? To put it bluntly, isn't she just a bird breeder?"
"Qianxue, you...can't you be a little kinder!" Lu Changqing blushed and wanted to lose his temper but didn't dare to.
"What's wrong? Didn't you say you wanted to thank me?"
“Hahahaha…” The old man of the Fang family laughed loudly.
Hearing the ridicule of the crowd, Xu Miaoyan's face turned pale, and she trembled as she held Lu Changqing's arm: "Lu Lang, today's White Bird Paying Homage to the Phoenix is a program I prepared for my two children's birthdays. If the Second Madam likes it, I wonder if you can let the two children call me mother too?"
Not only does she want to take away Fang Qianxue's man, she also wants to take away her child!
