Chapter 126: Banquet for Colleagues

Lu Lingyun was a female member of the family, so even if she prepared a meal and a banquet, it would not be convenient for her to show up.

It is enough to just ask the servants to pass the message.

But when the servant came back, he did tell her.

"Young Madam, the Crown Prince's female disciple is here again!"

"oh?"

Lu Lingyun was in the house accompanying little Bing'an.

Little Bing'an has become more and more attached to her these days. He stays awake longer and longer during the day, and makes babbling sounds from his mouth, which is very cute.

"That girl is also very strange. She dresses as a man and hangs out with men all day long. She looks a bit like Aunt Xing in the past." said the servant who came to deliver the message.

After hearing this, Lu Lingyun didn't know what to say, she just smiled faintly.

"Okay, let's eat."

"yes."

A table of dishes was served in Lu Lingyun's small courtyard. She didn't care about anything, nor did she care what Cheng Yunshuo thought, nor did she care what others thought.

Whatever happens outside, it has nothing to do with her.

She just wants to live her own life, eat and drink well three times a day.

While Lu Lingyun was living a peaceful life, huge waves were brewing in other parts of the inner courtyard.

"What! Yun Shuo brought someone here again today?"

"It was arranged by the young lady. A banquet was set up and many of the prince's colleagues were invited to have dinner outside."

Hearing that there were many colleagues, Xing Dairong's expression relaxed a little.

But soon, she realized something, "Where's that woman? Is she here?"

"Miss Xing, I don't know." Qiu Kui didn't go to the outer courtyard again.

There are so many outsiders coming to the Marquis's mansion today, and the women in the inner house are not allowed to see guests.

She was the eldest maidservant of her aunt, and was not allowed to move around freely.

I just didn't ask that much.

"No, I have to go check it out!"

Xing Dairong stood up and was about to leave.

"My girl, what are you doing in a place like that?"

At this time, outside, three rounds of wine had been served.

Cheng Yunshuo's colleagues were enjoying the meal very much.

Treating someone to a meal is something that requires some elegance and refinement.

Especially since Cheng Yunshuo's current status is not low and he also holds an official position in the Jinwu Guard. When he invites everyone to dinner, he is treating his subordinates to dinner, which can win everyone's hearts. In daily official affairs, everyone will rely on him and listen to Cheng Yunshuo's arrangements.

Also, if there is any promotion in the future, he will have a certain base of people's support.

Cheng Yunshuo was very satisfied with the dinner arranged for him by Lu Lingyun.

"Everyone should eat and drink well. Make sure you eat and drink to your heart's content!"

"That's for sure!"

"We don't have much else in our mansion, but we have plenty of good wine and delicious food!" Just then, a female voice rang out from the banquet hall.

A woman with a big belly came out, followed by maids and servants carrying wine bottles.

The person who came here was Xing Dairong.

Xing Dairong put on a very proper smile and came out to entertain the guests like a hostess.

She certainly wouldn't rush out and make a fuss like Qiu Kui said, and end up crying and making a fuss.

She has become smarter.

To this end, she even spent a large sum of money to reward her servants, and asked the kitchen to get some more wine and drinks from her own private storage and bring them over.

You have to know that everything in the Marquis' Mansion has a quota. Without Lu Lingyun's arrangement, if she wants to make something on her own, it will cost money.

It was a rare occasion for her to spend her own money and walk out with confidence.

But when Cheng Yunshuo saw her appear, his smiling face immediately turned cold.

Not many of the Jinwu Guards at the scene had seen Lu Lingyun before. When they saw Xing Dairong with a big belly, they thought she was Cheng Yunshuo's legal wife.

"My sister-in-law is here!"

"It's my sister-in-law!"

After hearing people calling her like that, Xing Dairong couldn't stop smiling.

She looked at the others and said, "You all have worked hard. You have helped our Yun Shuo a lot in the Duwei Mansion. You must eat and drink well today."

She imitated the style of a housewife and watched everyone talking.

Cheng Yunshuo above couldn't sit still anymore after seeing this.

He stood up and grabbed Xing Dairong, "What are you doing here?"

"I came to see your colleagues and friends."

"Yes, Yun Shuo, why are you so stingy!"

"Sister-in-law is here, please introduce her to us!"

"I have admired my sister-in-law for a long time!"

Everyone responded.

Xing Dairong became even more relaxed amidst everyone's conversation, with a smile on his face, and was about to say a few more words to everyone.

However, Cheng Yunshuo felt an extremely difficult emotion in his heart, as if he was embarrassed and awkward because a woman he was not proud of and did not think highly of was entertaining guests for him in front of others.

That's right.

Xing Dairong was no longer worthy of his pride or attention.

A long time ago, he would openly introduce Xing Dairong to all his friends.

At that time, her every frown, smile, and thought were enough to make him proud. Even though her status was very low at that time, she would still make him proud when she was with Xing Dairong.

But now.

He just wanted to hide her.

Even though Xing Dairong's behavior at this moment was very reasonable, not crazy or noisy, and he spoke to everyone openly, he still felt unspeakably embarrassed.

What is she doing here!

Lu Lingyun knew how to arrange the banquet properly, so even if she retreated to the inner courtyard, she would not steal the limelight at all.

What is she doing here?

At this moment, a petite person in men's clothes came in after using the toilet. As soon as she came in, she saw Xing Dairong above. Suddenly, Du Ruo and her expressions changed.

"You bastard, you're here!" Xing Dairong blurts out.

Before she could say anything, Cheng Yunshuo pulled her directly into the inner room.

Everyone at the table looked at each other in bewilderment. They all looked at Du Ruo in confusion, "A Ruo, do you also know Yun Shuo's wife?"

"How can she be my master's legal wife! She is my master's concubine!" Du Ruo stared at the person who entered the inner room.

At this time, someone in the Jinwu Guards also recognized Xing Dairong and said, "That is definitely not my sister-in-law. That is the courtesan that the governor spent tens of thousands of dollars to marry in the brothel!"

"Oh oh oh! I remember now. It's the woman who had the most fuss with Yun Shuo!"

"It's her! Yun Shuo has done many great things for her."

"It turns out to be that wonderful woman!"

A group of Jinwu guards began to discuss in secret.

After Cheng Yunshuo became an official, he completely separated himself from the past, but the things he did for Xing Dairong were still sensational enough to be remembered.

At that moment, everyone started talking about it with great excitement.

Du Ruo listened to the discussion and curled her lips in dissatisfaction, "What kind of extraordinary woman is this? She's just a resentful and vicious woman!"

She didn't speak loudly, but others still heard it.

"Ah Ruo, what's going on?"

"Yes, tell me about it!"
