A few days later, there was a banquet at the Marquis' Mansion.
Because everyone in the capital was curious about Tu Qingyu, almost everyone who had posted a message came.
The moment they saw Tu Qingyu, everyone was stunned.
No one had ever told them that the concubine's daughter of a minor official could be so beautiful.
The key point is that his whole demeanor doesn't seem like that of someone from a small family.
Haven’t you seen that the sisters of the Tu family were all reduced to dust beside her?
This is also what Mrs. Tu least wants to see.
She always knew that Tu Qingyu was very intelligent, so she began to suppress and ignore her since she was a child.
But even so, she still grew to a level that none of them could match.
Many times, she would doubt whether Tu Qingyu was her husband's child.
How could such a man give birth to such a beautiful daughter?
"Meet Madam Ningde."
Although she was also a county lady, she was married and everyone called her Madam.
"You ladies are too polite." After saying this, she greeted her peers with equal courtesy.
The banquet was a Qushui Liushang banquet. In addition, there were various fun activities such as touhu, chuiwan, and shuanglu.
The ladies didn't have much fun at first.
After getting to know each other better, everyone felt that Tu Qingyu was the easiest person to get along with.
Luo Yunxia, the eldest daughter-in-law of Pingchang Earl, liked her very much and always held her arm affectionately.
"Is this your first time hosting a banquet? How did you manage to do it so well?"
"It's indeed the first time. I was worried you wouldn't like it."
"Why wouldn't I like it? Although these are all common things to play with in Beijing, I always feel that yours are more interesting.
And the food is really strange, I have never seen it before."
"The Marquis found a new cook. It's all thanks to him."
At this point, Luo Yunxia whispered in her ear, "Looking at you like this, I know that the Marquis must treat you very well."
"You..." Tu Qingyu's ears suddenly turned red. He glanced at her with a charming look in his eyes. "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Look, look, just look at that look. If I were a man, I would also..."
Before she could finish, she was gently pinched on the waist, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything."
The ladies were playing around when Chen Yao suddenly rushed in.
She knelt down in front of Tu Qingyu.
She cried with tears streaming down her face, "Mother... please, mother, don't replace the person who serves me closely. That person is the one my mother left for me. She is, she is Yao'er's last wish, mother..."
In the banquet hall, everyone looked over.
A six-year-old girl ran to her stepmother and begged her not to replace the people around her.
No matter how you look at it, it seems like this girl was bullied by her stepmother.
Several ladies looked at Tu Qingyu with strange eyes.
"You get up first. I've already begged the Marquis to help the people serving you, but he insisted on doing it his own way. This..."
Isn't it just acting?
Tu Qingyu is really good at this!
She held the handkerchief and tears suddenly fell.
He deliberately raised his voice and said, "Big sister, the people around you are really no good. If not you, then everyone in my yard has been replaced, right?"
"Poisonous snakes and centipedes have appeared on the master's bed. How can we keep them here?"
"Fortunately, fortunately, we are all fine. If something were wrong, what would we do?"
After she finished speaking, she looked at the ladies in the hall and burst into tears. "My dear sisters, this is not the Marquis' fault. When I lifted the quilt and saw those poisonous things, I almost fainted from fright."
"Fortunately... fortunately, the Marquis arrived in time. Otherwise, I don't know what would have happened."
"This is already a dereliction of duty. That night, something appeared in the eldest sister's bed. Knowing that there was poison in my yard, it also appeared in her yard. This, this..."
As she spoke, she wiped her tears and continued, "After something like this happened, how can the Marquis still use those servants with confidence?"
"Some time ago, the Marquis went to the palace and asked the Empress for four nurses."
Oh... four nursemaids.
It turns out that the last sentence is the key point.
Some smart people have already guessed what is going on.
Chen Yao was also stunned by her crying. She never expected that this person would tell the whole story.
Don’t they adults all believe in keeping dirty laundry in public?
The ladies looked at Chen Yao, who was kneeling on the ground in a daze, and then at Tu Qingyu, whose face turned pale when he talked about the poisonous snake.
Suddenly, the way he looked at Chen Yao was not right.
He is only six years old, but he already has such ambitions.
Who would dare to marry me in the future?
Even if she is the legitimate daughter of a marquis, if she has bad character, no one would dare to propose to her.
Mrs. Ningde is really miserable. She got married at a young age and has to deal with a pair of grown-up stepchildren.
Chen Yao looked at the looks in the eyes of those ladies, and when the governess came over, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
"Big sister!" Tu Qingyu immediately threw himself on her, his face pale as he shouted to the surroundings, "Please, please, please, the imperial physician, please ...
No one expected that a wonderful banquet would end up like this.
But some people noticed that Chen Yao was pretending to be unconscious.
Luo Yunxia wanted to go forward to remind Tu Qingyu, but someone familiar with her held her back.
The lady whispered, "Why are you interfering in the affairs of the Shen family?"
"But she..." Luo Yunxia frowned and looked at Tu Qingyu worriedly.
