Lady Yang smiled, but there was a hint of cunning in her smile: "Whether I'm bold or not, you all knew that a long time ago, otherwise you wouldn't have married into this Yang family that everyone despises."
"Please, Mrs. Su and Miss Su, take a seat." As soon as Mrs. Yang finished speaking, someone pressed Mrs. Su and Lu Qingyan into their chairs and wouldn't let them move.
Seeing this scene, Lu Qingyan roughly understood that today's banquet would not be a simple chrysanthemum appreciation feast. The Yang State Duke's Mansion was probably going to make a big move. She just didn't know if Lin Yu'an and her uncle were prepared.
Thinking about it this way, Lu Qingyan felt somewhat uneasy.
Lin Yu'an hadn't been away for long, and it was uncertain whether he could be fully prepared in such a short time. But the Yang State Duke's Mansion was different; they had been preparing for this day for many years.
The two sides were locked in combat, and the outcome seemed obvious.
Looking at the stunned expressions of everyone present, Madam Yang lowered her head to look at her bright red fingernails, which resembled a venomous snake poised to strike at any moment: "It is fate that you are all here today. It is an immense favor that I have kept you here, and you all must accept it. If anyone displeases me, I will be the first to deal with her. It would be bad if anyone shed blood here and frightened everyone."
Lady Yang refers to herself as "this palace," which is not a proper title for her, indicating that she covets the position of empress. As the wife of the Duke of Yang, she naturally wouldn't harbor any special feelings for the emperor; the only way to become empress is for the Duke of Yang to be the emperor himself.
The Duke of Yang's mansion is plotting a rebellion.
"The Yang family is truly a wolf in sheep's clothing!" An old lady couldn't help but curse. Her eyelids drooped, obscuring the glint in her eyes, but at this moment, her whole body seemed to burst with boundless vitality. She rushed forward to fight Madam Yang to the death, but unfortunately, she was old and her strength was failing. She was out of breath after only a few steps.
Madam Yang stepped forward and slapped the old lady across the face with great force, causing the old lady to faint instantly.
Fortunately, the maidservant who stayed by the old lady's side knew some medicine and had some medicine with her, so she quickly gave her some.
Lady Yang laughed wildly: "Old thing, I've disliked you for years. So what if your title is higher than mine?"
As she spoke, she stepped on the old lady, whose maidservant cried and pleaded, "Madam Yang, the old lady is having an attack now, please don't torture her."
"Ha, if I don't torture her, who will I torture?" Madam Yang was about to make another move when she slipped and fell, hitting her head on the corner of the table, and blood flowed all over the floor.
Lu Qingyan's lips twitched, and she hid the remaining two pearls in her hand.
Now, the maids of the Yang family hurriedly moved Madam Yang away, paying little attention to the guests who had come to the banquet.
But they still couldn't leave; there were no maids, and some soldiers who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.
They stood there motionless, clad in unusual armor, blocking their way and preventing them from leaving. Some were already weeping, regretting their decision to come to this place of trouble.
Among this group of people, Su's mother appeared much calmer. She patted Lu Qingyan's hand and said apologetically, "Yao'er, it's my fault for dragging you into this."
If she hadn't insisted on bringing her daughter here, she probably wouldn't have encountered these problems.
