Chapter 476 This is really lively
The Duke of Enguo's Mansion became more and more lively, and the scorching sun did not dampen the enthusiasm of the guests.
In Qianbi Garden, all the guests saw Tao Yiran. Although all the guests who came today were dressed formally, Tao Yiran was the most eye-catching among the flowers and splendor. No one, whether they were girls or young ladies, could surpass her in appearance.
She didn't have to do anything, just sitting there quietly with a smile on her face was enough to win over many people.
"It's beautiful. It's really beautiful."
Prince Nanguan was fascinated by her. It could be said that every bit of Tao Yiran was engraved in his heart. Her coldness, her brightness, and her charm that belonged only to young women made him unable to take his eyes off her.
Pingshun Bo urged him to go forward and talk to the beauty, but he shook his head and said, "That's good. Come on, play a game with me."
It is true that he is a romantic man, but he is not vulgar. If he wants to win the heart of a beautiful woman, he has to work harder in other areas. He is different from someone like Pingshunbo who has a head full of dirty thoughts.
"What a vixen! She dresses so seductively even when her husband is away. Who is she trying to seduce?"
The person who was speaking was a married lady from the Xu family, the elder sister of Mr. Xu. Mr. Xu angered Lord Xu by helping the Mu family for Tao Yiran's sake and was severely punished. Then, the Xu family's illegitimate son, Mr. Xu San, took over. Mrs. Xu was so angry that she was bedridden for seven days, and her concubine took away part of the household power. As a result, the married lady from the Xu family was ridiculed by her sisters-in-law and beaten by her mother-in-law.
As a result, the mother and daughter of the Xu family wished they could eat Tao Yiran alive.
"Mrs. Wu, please keep your voice down. After all, she is the wife of the prince of the Marquisate. There were rumors in the city a few days ago, but the Marquisate did not do anything to her. It shows that the Marquisate is protecting her."
The person trying to persuade her had a smile on his face, as if he was just looking for trouble. "Look at her complexion. It's obvious that she's living a pretty good life. It's just a pity that Master Xu has lost his future because of her."
"After all, there is a gap in family background. Madam Wu, please bear with it."
"Yes, Madam Wu, just pretend you didn't see her. If we offend her, it will be troublesome again. If we can't afford to offend her, can't we just avoid her?"
How could Madam Wu not know that the person who said these words had bad intentions, but every word touched her heart. Her mother was still depressed and her brother had just recovered from his injuries a few days ago. Why was Tao Yiran here listening to the piano as if nothing had happened?
She saw Tao Yiran smiling and talking to someone next to her. Her seductive smile made her want to go up and scratch her face.
Perhaps feeling her gaze, Tao Yiran looked at her with a faint smile, but just glanced at her briefly before looking away.
It was this one glance that successfully ignited Mrs. Wu's anger. Tao Yiran didn't know her at first, and when she saw her dress, she knew that her status was not very high, so she naturally had no interest in her. But in Mrs. Wu's eyes, it was naked disdain.
She walked quickly towards Tao Yiran, and the onlookers followed her with the intention of watching the fun. Seeing her coming aggressively, Tao Yiran frowned. The young lady of the Bo Mansion asked with a smile, "Madam Wu, I haven't seen you for a long time. I heard that Master Wu was promoted. Congratulations."
Her rank went up but her power went down. It seemed like a promotion but in fact she was demoted. This was also the reason why several people behind her added fuel to the fire. In this world, a woman's status was closely related to her husband's future.
"Mrs. Qu and Mrs. Tang have a really good relationship?"
Madam Wu sneered, "Madam Tang's affair a while ago was known to everyone in the city, and Madam Qu is not afraid of being affected by bad luck."
The young lady of the Bo Mansion glanced at Tao Yiran and said, "The rumors outside are nothing but groundless rumors. Madam Wu has also read the books of sages and should be able to distinguish right from wrong."
“I just know that where there is smoke there is fire.”
Madam Wu was a little confused and didn't have too many scruples when she spoke. "If someone hadn't behaved improperly and was frivolous, there wouldn't have been any storm."
"Please be careful with your words, madam."
The maid behind Tao Yiran stood up and said, "My young mistress never leaves the house. She is kind and has never been hostile to anyone. My prince is of good character and noble status. He and the young mistress have a harmonious relationship. The rumors outside are nothing but fabrications."
"If you can't help yourself in broad daylight, then your relationship is harmonious."
Madam Wu held her handkerchief and laughed. The people behind her also thought of the incident last year when Tao Yiran and Tang Rong lost control in broad daylight. They all snickered. The Prince of Nanguang, who was not far away, was not paying attention to the chess game at all. When she saw him stand up, Madam Bo's mansion stood up and raised her voice, "That's enough. You guys are just joking about the gossips outside. Did you see it with your own eyes?"
She glared at Madam Wu and said, "Madam Tang hasn't said a word from the beginning till now, and you are still here, nagging me?"
Mrs. Wu was shocked and woke up. She knew she had gotten into trouble, but now she was already in trouble and could only defend herself. "If she hadn't given me a bad hint, how could my brother be so confused?"
The Prince of Nanguang has already come over here, and the young lady of the Bo Mansion is even more excited. "Young Lady Tang usually stays at home, but she went out to pray because her family elders were going on a long journey. She saw Master Xu in the temple and just said hello. Master Xu himself has bad behavior and dirty thoughts. He rushed to please other people's relatives without Madam Tang's knowledge. Now you blame him?"
Madam Wu knew that the truth was not like that, but the more anxious she was, the more she spoke. Before she could continue to explain, the Nanguang County Prince and his party had arrived in front of her. Everyone bowed. The Nanguang County Prince smiled and said, "The ladies' quarrels have disturbed the beautiful music of the piano and also disturbed my interest in playing chess."
The young lady of the Bo Mansion immediately apologized and told the story again with exaggeration. In short, it was Mrs. Wu who made up lies and was aggressive, and Tao Yiran suffered an undeserved disaster without doing anything.
The Prince of Nanguang stood with his hands behind his back, "In this case, it is Madam Wu's fault."
Tao Yiran bowed slightly, "Mrs. Wu is so excited only because she loves my brother so much. I hope the prince will not blame her."
Beautiful girl, nice voice.

"It's just a small matter, and I don't mind it. It's just that Duke En's Mansion took the trouble to organize this banquet, and they don't want to see someone making noise here and breaking the rules of the Shuihua Banquet."
After a quick glance, Mrs. Wu's legs went weak and she hurriedly said goodbye to everyone.
Tao Yiran bowed again and thanked him, "Thank you, Prince, for helping me out."
"Madam Tang, you don't have to be polite. This prince admires the old Marquis of the Marquisate, and naturally feels close to the people of the Marquisate."
Tao Yiran looked normal and left directly after the ceremony. Prince Nanguang walked into the pavilion with a smile, sat down in the place where Tao Yiran had sat, and asked someone to bring in the chessboard with a smile.
"This is really... very lively."
In the pavilion in the distance, Lin Yao and others watched the whole excitement. "Wherever she is, there will be trouble. This is also a skill."
"It's a pity that the rumors that the Marquis' Mansion suppressed will be brought up again today."
"Why is she here today, and the younger sister of the Xin family not here?"
Lin Yao looked around but didn't see Xin An. It was Yan Wenhui who told her that Xin An was not feeling well today.
"Hasn't she always been in good health?"
"It's normal for people to feel uncomfortable after eating whole grains."
Lin Yao's eyes turned and she thought of something. There was nothing she could do. She was almost driven crazy by this matter. Could it be that Xin's sister got pregnant so easily? She would go to the Marquis' Mansion in the afternoon. If there was any folk remedy, she would use it immediately.
