It was Miss Tang, who had just spoken out against Qiu Yun, who spoke first. Although she also disapproved of Qiu Wen's dazzling entrance, she understood Qiu Yun and knew that Qiu Yun must be upset about being overshadowed at her engagement party.
Miss Tang smiled and said, "This is Miss Qiu. Miss Qiu has never attended any of the sisters' gatherings before. I never imagined that Miss Qiu would be so beautiful. No wonder Madam Qiu was reluctant to bring her out."
While these words were praising Qiu Wen, they also implied that Qiu Yun, who was often taken out by Mrs. Qiu to show her face in public, was not as beautiful as Qiu Wen.
Women naturally love beauty, and when Qiu Yun heard this, she was furious.
Although Qiu Wen didn't know the relationship between the person who spoke and the Qiu family, she could tell that he wasn't very close to Qiu Yun.
As for why they came back, it's probably because the two families are quite close.
Qiu Wen asked, "And who is this lady?"
Miss Tang said, "My dear Tang Jing, we've never seen Miss Qiu go out to attend banquets before. We had no idea that Miss Qiu was so beautiful. She really hid it well."
Qiu Wen smiled and said, "Sister Tang, you're too kind. Today is my second sister's big day. She is more beautiful than any flower, and I can't compare to her."
Qiu Wen's natural makeup was so skillfully applied that even other women couldn't tell she had altered her appearance; they only thought she was exquisite and beautiful even without makeup.
Qiu Yun, on the other hand, is different. Madam Qiu is suited to be a beautiful woman, but Qiu Yun's appearance is three parts like that of Master Qiu. She is not ugly, but she lacks the gentleness and charm of a girl. However, she likes to dress in a gentle and charming way, so her appearance and dress are incongruous. She doesn't look bad when she is alone, but she is not good-looking when she is in a crowd.
After saying a few words, Qiu Wen said to Qiu Yun, "Second sister, today is your big day. I wish you happiness and a blissful life."
Qiu Wen looked sincere, and even if Qiu Yun was unhappy, she couldn't show it at this moment.
"Thank you, big sister."
The two women, through their interactions, became a loving and close-knit pair of sisters.
Qiu Yun was the main character today and couldn't stay with them all the time. She didn't want to stay any longer either, so she left after saying a few words.
Qiu Yun left, and logically, Qiu Wen, as the eldest daughter of the Qiu family, should have been in charge of entertaining them. However, it turned out that the one in charge of entertaining them was the legitimate daughter of the second branch of the Qiu family.
It wasn't that Qiu Wen was unwilling; it was that the Qiu family simply didn't consider her a member of the Qiu family.
Qiu Wen didn't mind, but she really disapproved of the Qiu family's behavior.
After Qiu Yun left, Tang Jing came over.
"Sister Qiu."
Qiu Wen asked with a surprised look, "Sister Tang, is there something you need?"
Tang Jing smiled and said, "May I have a word with you in private?"
Qiu Wen looked at Tang Jing and found it somewhat amusing. What grudge did Qiu Yun have against this Tang Jing? It seemed that the other party couldn't let it go.
Although Qiu Wen disliked Qiu Yun, she had no interest in being a tool in someone else's hands, nor did she see any benefit in it.
Qiu Wen said, "Sister Tang, there's no need for that. This place is quite nice, and there's nothing we can't talk about, right?"
Tang Jing immediately felt that Qiu Wen was ungrateful. She naturally knew that Qiu Wen was the eldest daughter of the Qiu family, and that she was not valued by her parents and had a less prominent presence in the Qiu family than a concubine's daughter. The fact that she was willing to talk to her meant that she thought highly of her.
Tang Jing's smile faded, and she said, "I see that Qiu Xiao's family doesn't seem to be valued. I've heard that Qiu Yun has bullied you quite a bit. That young master of the Han family was originally your husband. Are you just willing to let someone else take him away?"
Qiu Wen knew that she had bad intentions, but she didn't know what she wanted to do, so she said with a wronged look, "Sister Tang, what you're saying is wrong. Mother said that I am the older sister and I have to give way to my younger sister."
Seeing this, Tang Jing felt there was a chance, and a smile returned to her face. She said, "Your mother loves your sister more. Otherwise, she wouldn't have let you take over when the Han family was in decline. Now that the Han family is about to rise again, she's making you give up your marriage. Isn't that bullying?"
Qiu Yun looked surprised after hearing this and asked in confusion, "Miss Tang, why do you say that? My parents said that my horoscope and the eldest son of the Han family are incompatible. My parents are only doing this for my own good. I know that. Why would you think that, Sister Tang?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Jing looked at Qiu Wen as if she were an idiot.
Tang Jing added, "Think about it carefully, don't your parents love your sister more?"
"My parents said it's because my younger sister is young, so it's only right that they dote on her."
Tang Jing: ...
Tang refused to give up: "But are you really willing to accept this marriage? The eldest son of the Han family is already a scholar who has passed the imperial examination. He will surely be extraordinary in the future. Marrying him will definitely lead to an extraordinary future. This marriage was originally yours."
Qiu Wen added, "Mother said this marriage is between the Han family and the Qiu family, not mine."
Tang Jing now looked at Qiu Wen as if she were an idiot. Was this person really stupid? To be bullied like this and still defend them was just too much.
Tang Jing originally intended to use Qiu Wen to annoy Qiu Yun, but instead, she ended up getting angry herself instead of annoyed.
Tang Jing's smile vanished completely, and she said, "I won't disturb Miss Qiu any longer, I'll head over now."
He left as soon as he said he wanted to.
Qiu Wen watched her retreating figure, which seemed to be fleeing in panic, and laughed.
Luo Xue has arrived. While the two were talking, Luo Xue was held back by Tang Jing's maid, so she was only able to come over after Tang Jing and the others left.
"Miss, what are you laughing at? Did something funny happen?"
Qiu Wen shook her head and said, "It's nothing, I just suddenly felt like laughing."
Suddenly, Luo Xue whispered, "Miss, are you really alright?"
