Chapter 164
Huo Yunyao was overjoyed to see the maid running towards her.
Her show is about to begin.
"Miss Li, could it be that Miss Li?"
Soon someone covered their mouth and said.
"Oh my god, really? Why is Miss Li always causing trouble wherever she goes?"
Some people quickly thought of the flower-viewing banquet held by Madam Cao before, where Li Zhiwei also stole the show.
"That's right. Last time she attended Madam Cao's flower-viewing banquet, something bad happened to the Cao family afterwards. Now that she's attending Madam Qin's flower-viewing banquet, could something bad happen to her too?"
Someone raised a question.
"By the way, how is Madam Cao doing now? We haven't heard anything more about her."
Soon, someone started gossiping.
"I heard she's being held at the county government office. There's still no progress on Magistrate Cao's end, and it's probably not going well. I heard she offended some important person she shouldn't have."
An insider cautiously revealed this.
"Could this matter be related to Miss Li? After all, didn't she go to the capital? Moreover, I heard that Lord Li spent a lot of money to buy an official position in the capital."
Another person said.
"There's no such thing as a free lunch. Who knows what Miss Li did in the capital to get Master Li an official position? Sigh, if I had a daughter as beautiful as her, I'd probably fight for her too, wouldn't I?"
Some people said with a look of disdain.
"Alright, that's enough. The Li family is not one that we can afford to offend. Let's see what's going on over there."
Seeing that the group had fallen far behind, a woman quickly spoke up.
Huo Yunyao, looking excited, led her people toward the Linglong Courtyard she had prepared beforehand.
"Second sister, you wouldn't be suggesting that Xuan-di..." Huo Yunlan felt a little displeased at the thought that they might have to see Li Zhiwei rolling around with her younger brother.
My younger brother is such a fine young man; he deserves a girl like Meng Xin'er.
"Big sister, what nonsense are you talking about?" Huo Yunyao thought to herself, if that person were her own brother, why would she go to all this trouble?
That person was a beggar she had specifically sent to the City God Temple outside the city.
She's going to ruin Li Zhiwei today.
How could she possibly give her a chance to fight back? After all, she felt that if Li Zhiwei married her younger brother, it would be a step up for her.
Huo Yunzhi, standing to the side, glanced at Huo Yunyao's side and asked unhurriedly, "Your little tagalong, Du Qiuniang, didn't come today?"
It's worth noting that no matter what banquet Huo Yunyao hosted, Du Qiuniang never missed one.
"She's here. She wasn't feeling well, so I sent her to rest in the side room," Huo Yunyao said.
"Rest, Second Sister, you're quite generous," Huo Yunzhi said with a raised eyebrow and a half-smile.
"We have so many courtyards in Jiyun Manor, what's wrong with letting Qiu Niang rest for a while? Third Sister, I'm saying, you haven't even married into the Chen family yet, how come you've already learned that poor and stingy manner of the Chen family?" Huo Yunyao said with some dissatisfaction.
"If you have no objections, what can I say? Besides, you can criticize me, but there's no need to drag the Chen family into it. They haven't provoked you." Huo Yunzhi was getting annoyed by Huo Yunyao's words.
Although she really disliked how the Chen family schemed against her.
However, she loved Chen Jiasanlang and was willing to compromise for him.
She couldn't stand her second sister constantly belittling Chen Sanlang's family.
Besides, she looks down on the Sanlang family in every way. Does she really think that Zhu Yunxian is a good person?
However, she had been at odds with her second sister since childhood, and there were some things she said that her second sister might not even hear.
