Su Wenyue looked over and saw the mother and daughter of the Sun family approaching. Many people went to greet them. Of course, they were not treated like the wife of the marquis. The prefect was a fourth-rank official, and the magistrate was a fifth-rank official. Even if they were guests, only the wife of the magistrate could come to greet them. Moreover, the prefect Wei and the magistrate Sun were in different camps and had great differences in political views. They just maintained a harmonious appearance. The upper class was like this. They all liked to maintain superficial peace. Even if they were fighting to the death in private and hated each other to death in their hearts, they were happy on the surface. Of course, there were exceptions.

Madam Sun and her daughter saw that Su Wenyue's face was stiff for a moment. Su Wenyue greeted Madam Sun as if she was not being polite and just looked at Sun's mother and daughter with a half-smile, which made Sun's mother and daughter very uncomfortable, especially when they heard that the most distinguished guest invited by the prefect's wife this time was the wife of the Marquis of Bei'an. The scene where they were majestically scolded by the old lady of the Marquis of Bei'an's mansion replayed in their minds. This time, the wife of the Marquis of Bei'an was Su's aunt, and she looked equally majestic and noble, and they could not afford to offend her.

Madam Sun and her daughter greeted Pei and the prefect's wife, and then sat in their own seats, occasionally chatting with people they knew, but they seemed a little restrained. Originally, they had persuaded some people to embarrass Su Wenyue, but in this situation, not only the marquis' wife, but also the prefect's wife were very good to Su Wenyue. No one was so stupid as to offend someone who should not be offended for the sake of others' affairs. The reason why they agreed to Sun was that Su Wenyue was just a small Qianzong's wife, and she had no foundation in the prefectural city, so it was okay to bully her. Now it was obviously different, so no one really dared to provoke Su Wenyue for Madam Sun, but many people wanted to curry favor with her.

Mrs. Sun and her daughter were angry when they saw this, but they also knew that this was the way the world was, so they could only hate it in their hearts.

Su Wenyue kept chatting with the Pei family members. The topics between women were nothing more than those things, talking about things in the inner house or food and clothing. Pei Yuhan didn't talk to those girls to make connections at this time, but instead came to the Pei family's side, obviously not wanting Su Wenyue to get the upper hand.

"Speaking of the Marquis's dress, it is truly dazzling. The material of this dress looks very rare. We don't have such good craftsmanship in our city." The prefect's wife said flatteringly.

Speaking of the clothes she was wearing, Pei also liked them, so she responded a few more times: "Madam Wei has good taste, and I like this dress very much, but it was not custom-made in a shop, but made for me by Yue Niang out of filial piety. Not to mention the excellent embroidery skills, just the filial piety alone is enough to satisfy me."

After Mrs. Pei said this, the wife of the prefect took a closer look at the clothes worn by Mrs. An and Su Wenyue. Although the styles and colors were different, the stitching was the same. In this era, every woman knew how to do some sewing. The wife of the prefect was also from a wealthy family. She had learned some necessary skills for women since she was a child. She was not bad at sewing, but she was not yet at the level of perfection. However, it was not a problem to distinguish the stitching and embroidery skills. At a glance, she could tell that the clothes of the three people were made by the same person. However, she did not expect that Su Wenyue, at such a young age, had such good embroidery skills. She was really outstanding.

"Madam Su has brought up her daughter very well. She is outstanding in every aspect. It is really enviable. I originally wanted to ask Madam Hou where the dress was made so that I could make one for her when I have the chance in the future. But now I can't do that." Although Madam Wei was flattering, she really thought it was nice. How many women don't like beautiful ones?

Pei Yuhan, who was listening to the prefect's wife, said, "What's so difficult about this? If we really go to Chang'an, it will be quite troublesome. Now Cousin Yue is here. Madam, you want Cousin Yue to be your wife. You think highly of Cousin Yue. Could it be that Cousin Yue will refuse? I don't think Cousin Yue will be so disrespectful to Madam, Cousin Yue, don't you think so? "

Pei Yuhan didn't wait for Su Wenyue to reply before continuing, "However, cousin Yue's embroidery skills are superb, so they are naturally incomparable to those of ordinary embroiderers. The wages are probably not low, but I think Madam Wei, who is wealthy, won't care, as long as cousin Yue can embroider to the satisfaction of the prefect's wife."

Pei Yuhan took the opportunity to step on Su Wenyue. Although needlework was a must-learn skill for women in this era, if she used it to make money, she would be as lowly as an embroiderer. Before, Su Wenyue had found An to sell her embroidery works. Not only because there would be less profit if she sold them to the embroidery shop, but also because of this, with An's cover-up, no one else knew about Su Wenyue selling embroidery works for money except Han Yu and Xiaoxi.

Pei Yuhan was trying to put Su Wenyue in a dilemma. If she didn't refuse, she would be willing to lower herself to a low position. If she refused, she would offend the prefect's wife. Not only would Su Wenyue suffer, but Han Yu might also be implicated because of this matter.

How could Su Wenyue not understand Pei Yuhan's good idea? However, in such an occasion, Pei Yuhan's behavior was really stupid! Just look at Pei's ugly face and the embarrassment of the prefect's wife.

Not to mention that their second branch was originally separated from the Bei'an Marquis's Mansion, and they treated her badly, and in front of Pei, after Pei had released information to everyone to protect her, this action was equivalent to slapping Pei in the face. If it were someone else, Pei would have sent that person to death long ago, but this person happened to be her niece, so she could only swallow her anger and teach her a lesson after she returned.

The prefect's wife was not that stupid. Only a fool would offend the marquis' wife for a piece of clothing. However, Pei Yuhan made her words so clear that it was difficult for her to answer.

Pei Yuhan saw that the atmosphere was tense, especially her aunt's ugly face, which made her a little scared, but things had come to this point, and she had said what she should and shouldn't say. Anyway, her aunt would scold her when she returned, and it would be a waste if she didn't achieve her goal, so she made up her mind and said, "Cousin Yue, are you agreeing by not saying anything?"

The prefect's wife had been planning to say something to smooth things over, but when she heard Pei Yuhan's question, there was some hope in her eyes. For the sake of the marquis' wife, she didn't want to make things difficult for Su Wenyue. But if Su Wenyue agreed on her own, she would of course be happy to see it. After all, it wasn't her who brought up the matter, but the marquis' wife's niece who mentioned it.

Su Wenyue was not in a hurry even though Pei Yuhan was forcing her like this, but An looked at Pei Yuhan sternly. As a mother, how could she allow others to bully her daughter? This niece of her natal family was really an ungrateful person. She had been eating and using the things from her family's family these days, but she didn't even remember any benefits and instead made things difficult for her daughter.

"Why didn't Cousin Yue answer? She still looks down on the prefect's wife..."
