Chapter 59 Engagement Banquet, Qian Yueqiu Snatches the Man!
Today is the day Xie Jingxing and Su Zhirou are engaged.
Qian Yueshu, of course, wouldn't let them get engaged so easily.
Xie Jingxing not only made her very unhappy.
Even Su Zhirou was disliked by Qian Yueshu!
In particular, she also discovered that it was Su Zhirou who orchestrated the incident where Qian Yueqiu was harassed by Yin Hou in the street.
Who dares to bully her?
Then you should be prepared for retaliation.
My cousin is naive and easy to bully.
But Qian Yueshu is vengeful; if you wrong me even a little, I will retaliate tenfold!
Let's give them a little trouble today, as interest.
Nongyu Pavilion.
Qian Yueqiu really liked Qian Yueshu.
My cousin's courtyard is called Tingyu Pavilion.
Her courtyard was called Nongyu Pavilion.
Qian Yueqiu was still fast asleep at that moment.
Last night she dreamed of Xie Jingxing again, it was the same embarrassing encounter at the Embroidered Uniform Pavilion, Xie Jingxing came towards her like a hero against the light...
Since that day.
She kept having this dream.
Qian Yueqiu guessed that she had fallen in love with Xie Jingxing, just like in the storybooks.
"Miss, Miss, wake up!" The maid Sun Cuier's anxious voice jolted her from her sweet dream. "The Second Miss wants you to come immediately!"
Qian Yueqiu rubbed her sleepy eyes and muttered in dissatisfaction, "It's not even dawn yet... let me sleep a little longer..."
“It was your cousin who contacted you!” Sun Cuier emphasized.
Upon hearing the word "cousin," Qian Yueqiu instantly sobered up.
She was still half asleep, but as soon as her cousin called her, she was wide awake.
She quickly appeared in front of Qian Yueshu, her voice still sleepy: "Cousin."
Qian Yueshu went straight to the point: "Today is the day Xie Jingxing and Xie Zhirou got engaged."
"Oh!" she replied sullenly, lowering her head.
"Don't you have any other ideas?" Qian Yueshu pressed.
Qian Yueqiu bit her lower lip tightly, recalling the recurring dream.
There was also the joy of sleeping with Xie Jingxing.
"I..." She twisted the handkerchief in her hand, her voice trembling with tears, "Yes, I want to stop them. Xie Jingxing is a good sleeper, and I don't want him to be with other women."
It went even more smoothly than Qian Yueshu had imagined.
She originally thought that she would have to use both deception and coaxing to persuade Qian Yueshu.
I never imagined my cousin had already fallen for Xie Jingxing!
A mischievous smile crept across her lips: "Then let's go snatch him back!"
"But...but I don't know...I don't know how to rob it?"
"Then are you willing to take a beating for him?" Qian Yueshu raised an eyebrow.
She nodded immediately: "I'm willing to take a beating as long as I can get him back!"
As soon as Qian Yueqiu finished speaking, Qian Yueshu slapped her twice across the face without the slightest hesitation.
In this world.
You have to pay an equal price for what you want to gain, and Qian Yueshu is no exception.
So my cousin has to take the beating.
This way, she can better seize the bride.
On the other side.
Qian Yueqiu was slapped twice, on the same side of her face.
Her delicate face instantly turned red and swollen...
But for Xie Jingxing's sake, she felt no pain at all, and even felt a surge of excitement: "So, cousin, what should I do next?"
"Wait for Xie Jingxing on his way to the betrothal ceremony. Don't say anything, just show him the scars on your face, and then cry as beautifully as possible..."
She leaned close to her cousin's ear, her tone undeniably seductive: "If he cares about you, or asks how you got hurt, don't say anything, don't do anything, just cling to him and sleep all day long..."
The Qian family mansion.
I just finished worrying about my cousin's situation.
Qian Yueshu received another invitation to a banquet!
It was an invitation from the Lin family, the maternal grandfather of the Crown Prince, to celebrate the birthday of the late Lady Lin, the Duke of the State.
Since her rebirth, Qian Yueshu has rarely attended banquets hosted by noble ladies and wives.
Every time I receive those exquisite invitations.
She always tries to push things away or avoid them whenever possible.
Even the invitation to the celebration banquet that the Xie family held for Xie Jingxing last time.
She always sent Qian Yueqiu.
Of course, she also intended to matchmake Qian Yueqiu and Xie Jingxing at that time.
I will not attend the banquet.
It wasn't that Qian Yueshu was ignorant of human relationships, nor that she was so aloof as to be untouched by worldly affairs.
Because those memories, etched deep in the soul, cause excruciating pain with the slightest touch.
Those were the clinking of glasses, the fragrance of clothes and the swaying of hair.
To others, it might be a wonderful occasion to show off one's brilliance and make connections with the powerful!
For her, however, it was a web of humiliation, layer upon layer, from which she could not escape!
Those cheerful laughs and musical performances, to her, often sounded like subtle mockery and disdain, each sound grating on her ears.
It's all because the hurt I suffered in my previous life was too deep.
Before she became the Crown Prince's concubine, she attended banquets for noble ladies, where she was at the very bottom of the social hierarchy.
After all, he came from a merchant family.
Even if she wore the most fashionable clothes from the Jinyige Pavilion and adorned herself with priceless jewels.
In the eyes of those noble ladies.
She was still that merchant's daughter, "covered in the stench of money."
At that time, Qian Yueshu's seat was always arranged in a corner, and no one really listened to her speeches.
Behind those seemingly warm greetings lies a subtle distance.
Beneath those smiling eyes lay undisguised scrutiny and contempt.
She was like a pheasant that had wandered into a flock of cranes, completely out of place, walking cautiously with every step, as if treading on thin ice...
She later married the crown prince.
She thought that her status would rise and her circumstances would improve, but little did she know that it would be the beginning of another nightmare.
At the banquet.
She always manages to become the target of public criticism.
The people who embarrassed Qian Yueshu the most were Liu Yu and the group of sycophantic noblewomen around her.
At that time, Liu Yu was jealous that she, as a concubine, had entered the Eastern Palace first, and always tried to make things difficult for her.
Or perhaps it was a subtle dig at her lack of knowledge, using poetry and songs to mock her.
Or, during a drinking game, deliberately create difficult questions for her to embarrass her in front of everyone.
Or perhaps they could team up with other noble ladies and use a voice that would be just right for her to hear.
They were gossiping about how a merchant's daughter was so lowly.
However, she wasn't one to suffer a loss.
Every time Liu Yu made things difficult for her, she would show off how much the Crown Prince doted on her.
Either let Liu Yu accidentally witness her seductive appearance after their lovemaking.
Or she might deliberately leave some traces to show off how His Highness and she indulge in daily revelry.
Even worse, he deliberately showed her her clothes, which had been torn to shreds by the Crown Prince, to let her know just how intense their encounter had been.
whee.
In short, she didn't suffer any loss at all, and Liu Yu was always furious.
This banquet.
It was hosted by the Lin family, the maternal grandfather of the Crown Prince, so she had no choice but to attend.
The Lin family is a hereditary ducal family descended from the founding fathers of the nation, possessing a noble lineage and immense power.
Whether from the perspective of power or the Crown Prince's personal reasons.
She had to attend this banquet.
But what kind of difficulties await her?
Fortunately, she gained a lot of good reputation recently because of the refugee issue.
This might be the only source of confidence she could rely on to attend the banquet.
wrong.
She is no longer just the daughter of a merchant, but also the Princess of Jingyang County!
