“Why not!” Li Yang said confidently.
"The Duke has already sent people to pick them up, and they are all staying at the inn in Juxian Manor!"
Jiang Shan gently patted his chest and asked cautiously, "Your Highness, fifty invitations represent fifty guests, right?"
Li Yang rolled her eyes. "Do you think I'm stupid? One invitation is for a whole table. How could I, the Grand Princess, only have fifty relatives and friends? That would be too shabby!"
Jiang Shan suddenly stood up, his eyes wide open. "Li Minghe... doesn't the young master know the restaurant's maximum capacity? My maternal grandfather only gave us ten invitations, where did you get so many?"
Li Yang puffed out her chest proudly and said, "I made these posters myself, so can't I keep a few more?"
country:"……!"
She was speechless!
That unreliable Li Minghe…!
Fine, anyway, Li Minghe is the boss in name only, so he'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong!
"I heard that Tomorrow Saburo and the others have a performance? They are now all disciples of Grand Tutor Cheng, and it would be beneath their dignity to sing and dance on stage. I also have some entertainers in my household, so perhaps..."
Before Li Yang could finish speaking, Jiang Shan interrupted with a smile, "Your Highness, no matter what Sanlang's identity is, he is still my younger brother. As long as I, as his older sister, am still a merchant, he cannot avoid suspicion. Unless he completely disowns me!"
Li Yang's eyes widened as he was about to speak, but Jiang Shan waved his hand, "Your Highness, you'll definitely enjoy tomorrow's program, and you might even want to adopt another son... Slip of the tongue, Your Highness, please forgive me, hahaha!"
Jiang Shan burst into laughter, and Li Yang couldn't help but chuckle as well.
In the large garden outside, Rong Yue led Jiang Huai to run wildly all over the garden. As they ran, the two started playing hide-and-seek.
It wasn't that Rong Yue was bullying the younger or the stranger; it was Jiang Huai who insisted on playing hide-and-seek, and Rong Yue, unusually childish, was having a great time with the two of them.
An Yi remained hidden in the shadows, while Fu Li stood in the open, silently watching Jiang Huai's small figure.
After playing for a while, Jiangshan also came out to stroll around the park.
The mother and son were of one mind. Jiang Huai stuck his little bottom out and hid behind a rock, but Jiang Shan picked him up and pulled him over.
"You can't hide here, I saw you from far away! Come on, Mom will help you hide!"
The mother and son dodged and hid for a while, and then, as they turned around, Jiang Huai bumped into a strange woman's stomach.
The woman was knocked off her feet by Jiang Huai, who was as playful as a calf, and crashed into the artificial rock behind her, wincing in pain.
The group of maids following behind panicked and hurriedly helped the woman up.
"Princess, are you alright?"
Princess Yi'an rubbed her shoulder and pointed at Jiang Huai, shouting angrily, "Where did this wild brat come from? Throw him out!"
Jiang Huai turned around and rushed over to hug Jiang Shan, hiding behind her.
Yi'an's maid ran over to grab Jiang Huai, but Jiang Shan pushed her away forcefully.
She took Jiang Huai's hand and said calmly to the maid, "My son was rude and offended this young lady. We are willing to compensate her for all her losses. Please forgive us!"
"Are you blind? This is Princess Yi'an! You've hurt her, can you afford to compensate? Kneel down and apologize to her right now!" another maid shouted imperiously.
Jiang Shan raised an eyebrow, curtsied, and said, "This humble woman, Jiang, greets the Princess. Huai'er!"
Jiang Huai stepped out from behind Jiang Shan, clasped his hands in a respectful gesture, and said, "This humble one, Jiang Huai, greets the Princess."
Yi'an raised her eyebrows and said angrily, "Kneel down! You lowly commoner, how dare you stand and bow before me, the princess?"
Yi'an's voice was quite loud, and Rong Yue ran over after hearing the noise.
Fu Li stood silently behind Jiang Huai, his eyes downcast and his mind focused, but his hands slowly clenched into fists.
Seeing that Jiang Shan remained unmoved, the maid shouted to the servants not far behind her, "Guards, slap them! Beat them until they kneel down!"
Rong Yue coldly retorted, "Princess Yi'an, you have quite the airs. You dare to be so presumptuous in the Grand Princess's residence. Who gave you the guts?"
Yi'an stomped her foot and shouted, "Uncle! This wretched man's son offended me. Shouldn't I have my servants teach them a lesson?"
Rong Yue said calmly, "You're not qualified to lecture them!"
Yi'an's face darkened slightly, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "Uncle, I came here today specifically to visit my great-aunt. Are you really going to make me lose face because of this lowly mother and son?"
"Lowly?" Rong Yue narrowed her eyes. "So in your eyes, Grand Tutor Cheng's granddaughter and great-grandson are lowly people?"
Yi An's expression changed drastically. She glanced at Jiang Shan and Jiang Huai and said in disbelief, "They, they are...."
Rong Yue pulled the crescent-shaped jade pendant, which symbolized the prince's status, from Jiang Huai's neck, waved it in her hand, and said sternly, "You lowly servant! Why don't you kneel down before Prince Huai!"
Prince Huai!
Yi'an stared in shock at the jade pendant in Rong Yue's hand, recalling the rumors she had heard before, her mind in turmoil!
It turns out it wasn't just a rumor; Aunt Liyang really did adopt the son of a country woman as her godson and even petitioned for him to be granted the title of heir apparent!
The maids exchanged glances, and seeing that their master's expression was unusual, they all knelt down with great apprehension and kowtowed to Jiang Huai to pay their respects.
Jiang Huai curled his lip and pointed at Yi An, saying, "Big brother, she insulted us!"
Rong Yue bowed slightly, intending to comfort Jiang Huai, when Li Yang's head maidservant approached. She smiled and curtsied, saying, "Your Highness, Lord Fu has come to fetch Miss Jiang and Prince Huai!"
Jiang Huai's eyes lit up. "Father's here? Mother, let's go find Father!"
Rong Yue frowned and said unhappily, "We haven't had lunch yet, what is Fu Qiyuan doing here so early?"
But Jianghuai has already taken Jiangshan with him.
Having a father means you don't need a big pot anymore, tsk!
Rong Yue was even more displeased and said to Yi An in a huff, "My mother is busy today, she has to entertain her adopted sister and adopted son. Please come another day!"
Before Yi'an could speak, Rong Yue flicked her sleeves and chased after Jiang Huai.
Yi'an's face was gloomy, and her fingernails were almost digging into her palms.
So this woman is the one Fu Qiyuan likes!
They even have a child!
This is outrageous! It's utterly outrageous!
In the living room, Fu Qiyuan and Li Yang were having a meal when Jiang Huai rushed over like a little leopard, burying his head in Fu Qiyuan's arms and happily calling him "Daddy."
Fu Qiyuan's eyes remained fixed on Jiang Shan. "Are you alright?"
As soon as the question was asked, subtle changes appeared on the expressions of both Li Yang and Jiang Shan.
Li Yang put down his teacup and asked with concern, "What happened?"
Jiang Shan shrugged and said sarcastically, "It's nothing, I just stirred up a lot of hatred."
Fu Qiyuan seemed to be thinking, "Didn't Princess Yi'an make things difficult for you?"
Jiang Huai, the little brat, complained first, "Father, that princess is insulting us! And she even tried to hit my mother! She's so mean!"
