Seeing that Qiao Si was in charge, Qian Yousheng brushed aside the previous events and his smile became much more sincere.
"Hahaha, Miss, you are so generous!"
He complimented with a smile.
Qiao Er watched them talking without moving a muscle, his face showing no emotion.
Zhang You felt a little regretful. Why did she draw a smiling lip on Qiao Er?
It's impossible to tell what Qiao Er's mood is.
Qiao Si can't really join forces with outsiders to bully her like this, right?
Lan Xiangqi, who was standing next to Zhang You, was shaking a little.
After Zhang You saw it, he quietly approached her while no one was paying attention, pulled her clothes, and told her not to be impulsive.
Lanxiang mouthed something to her, her face full of anger, but she endured it.
Zhang You saw that she was scolding Qiao Si, so he quietly comforted her.
Fortunately, no one noticed their little actions.
Qian Yousheng complimented Qiao Si and somehow the conversation came to his jewelry and rouge shop, so he asked the maids in his house to file in and present the goods to Qiao Si.
And promised to send her new products every month.
Qiao Siyan looked at those things with a smile and asked his servant to send them to the prince's palace.
Zhang You looked at the rouges he presented, and found two that were very similar to the ones she made.
I can't help but be surprised.
How could that be?
I have never made my recipe in front of outsiders, and I only gave the developed recipe to Qiao Er.
How could someone make something so similar?
Could it be that someone leaked...
She was in a state of confusion.
Seeing that no one cared about Qiao Er, he stood behind Jinglan and spoke softly.
"Sister Jinglan, those two boxes of rouge he has seem to be the same as the ones I made before. Should I tell the Second Miss?"
Jinglan nodded calmly.
Then he poured tea for Qiao Er and whispered something.
Zhang You was standing at the back and couldn't hear it clearly.
After a while, Jinglan stood back to where she was and whispered to her, "The Second Miss has her own arrangements."
Only then did Zhang You relax a little.
If there really is a traitor in the store, Qiao Er should be able to find him when he returns.
As the sun got brighter, many shop owners came into the reception room one after another.
It was almost time for Qian Yousheng to meet the guests, and all the guests had arrived.
He called out loudly and began the banquet.
Maids, all dressed in pink dresses, carried trays and wore uniform smiles on their faces as they slowly walked in and began to serve the dishes.
Zhang You looked at their clothes and compared them with her own.
If you don’t know this, you might think he is the prince.
Living such a luxurious life.
Even in the royal palace, only first-class maids were allowed to wear silk.
But the ordinary maids in his house all wore silk.
Whose face are you trying to slap?
Zhang You looked at his ostentatious behavior and shook his head in his heart.
Qian Yousheng stood in the center of the banquet, raised his glass and toasted Qiao Si.
"Dingzhou can enjoy its current peace and stability thanks to the wise and powerful leadership of His Majesty!
It’s just that the prince is still in the border town, so it’s a pity that I can’t see him in person.”
He seemed very regretful.
"However, it's the same since Miss Qiao is here! I toasted Miss Qiao first!"
The guests in the audience seemed to get the message and all raised their glasses to toast Qiao Si.
Qiao Si didn't show any of the panic of a little girl.
She seemed to have an innate sense of nobility, and looked at them toasting her quietly with a condescending attitude.
Qian Yousheng then said a lot of flattering words to the prince, as if he was a loyal believer of the prince.
The guests in the audience all echoed.
The banquet was filled with the sound of clinking glasses and a joyful atmosphere.
Qiao Er just watched them perform there quietly.
She ate the food in front of her slowly and leisurely.
Zhang You didn't notice anything special happening on the field.
Those people seemed to be just ordinary flatterers, and no one cared about Qiao Er.
Zhang You was also happy that no one paid attention to them.
She looked at the food prepared by the Qian family and was filled with envy.
This little dessert.
This little fruit.
This is an exquisite presentation!
The Qian family is still too rich!
Too luxurious!
They even used peony flowers, which are rare here, as decoration and placed them next to the sliced roast duck!
Zhang You took a quick look and found that except for the bowls and chopsticks on the main table which were all inlaid with gold and jade, the bowls and chopsticks on everyone else's table were all silver.
Zhang You was still immersed in looking at the luxury of the Qian Mansion.
Suddenly, she glanced and seemed to see something black falling from the maid who was serving the food.
It was just that the party was too noisy, and the thing didn't make any sound when it fell to the ground.
The man didn't seem to notice and prepared to leave after setting the dishes.
Seeing that no one cared about their corner, Zhang You stepped forward and prepared to pick it up and return it to her.
As he moved, he noticed a black, slender object flash by and slip under Qiao Er's table.
Although it was running very fast, Zhang You still saw that the tip of its tail seemed to have a thorn.
Could it be a snake?!
But with so many people on the field, how could there be a snake?
Afraid she might have seen it wrong, she didn't dare to make a loud noise. She just quickly shouted to Jinglan, who was closest to her: "Sister Jinglan, there seems to be something under the table!"
Jinglan immediately pulled Qiao Er up and took her a few steps back.
This movement immediately attracted Qian Yousheng's attention.
"Hey, what's Miss Qiao doing? Are you blaming me for not treating you well enough?"
Someone immediately agreed with him, and they all looked over here with mocking eyes.
Zhang You had no time to care about them.
As Qiao Er and the others got up to leave, a snake suddenly jumped out from under the table and landed on the chair where Qiao Er had just sat.
