After the meal.
They gathered in twos and threes.
They all chatted with their friends.
The men mostly talked about academic matters, but a few bold ones spoke about current political issues.
Tao Yifan was chosen by many people, and gradually a large number of people surrounded him.
Who is Tao Yifan? He is best at arguing with words like "jue" and "jue" and speaks eloquently and flawlessly.
No matter how you put it, no one can find fault with it.
The women gradually gathered around Chen Siyuan.
Some people initially thought that the song Chen Siyuan wrote not long ago was a coincidence, or that she had asked someone else to write it beforehand. However, after chatting with her, they realized that they had all misunderstood.
Chen Siyuan is truly talented and knowledgeable.
He's much better than the arrogant Chen Xin.
Now, Chen Siyuan can't seem to break into the circle of legitimate daughters, and in the circle of illegitimate daughters, she feels that those illegitimate daughters are too lowly and doesn't want to be with them.
Chen Xin gradually became isolated.
This situation continued until very late.
We listened to the opera in the evening.
There are differences even in listening to opera.
The tables at the front are for the legitimate sons and daughters.
Chen Siyuan was surrounded by the crowd as she approached.
In the past, such honors had always fallen on Chen Xin's head, but today, after suffering a series of setbacks, Chen Xin turned hostile on the spot.
He glared angrily at those ignorant women, then turned and left.
Chen Siyuan glanced at it, then looked at Chunlan.
Chunlan left soon after.
No one noticed anything amiss during this time.
Today's protagonist is a young lady of marriageable age, and who would have thought that a maid had left?
One wonderful show after another was performed on stage, and everyone had a pleasant day. As the final show approached, everyone felt a mix of anticipation and reluctance.
They knew in their hearts that once this scene was over, they should leave and go back to their own homes to be content young masters and ladies.
As the opera reached its most moving and expressive moment, the rapid drumbeats began.
The lotus lantern in the center of the stage was lit, illuminating everything around it as brightly as day.
After the fireworks, several enormous luminous pearls were brought out on the stage.
Each one was as big as a fist, leaving everyone who saw them in awe!
Today's poetry gathering was a great success; they even brought out a luminous pearl like this.
Tao Yifan was surprised when he saw the luminous pearl.
It's clearly impossible for such a large luminous pearl to appear at a mere poetry gathering.
Even banquets in the imperial palace might not be this extravagant.
More importantly, the old emperor's health is deteriorating day by day, so people in the capital dare not celebrate wildly at this time.
The southern part of the city is far from the capital, but it shouldn't be like this.
Thinking about it, he realized that he hadn't seen Lord Ye Jianhua when he arrived.
Where did he go?
If he were here, this mistake would never have happened.
Chen Siyuan was also very shocked.
In her previous life, she had succeeded in the capital and attended banquets with Song Ji, where she had witnessed such extravagant scenes. Back then, there were only one or two luminous pearls. Now, seeing ten luminous pearls appear at the same time, she felt uneasy.
Looking at Chunlan who had returned, Chunlan shook her head.
Chen Siyuan found it strange.
I saw Chen Xin leave just now and was worried that she might do something bad, so I asked Chunlan to keep an eye on her, but she still lost track of her.
When she came, she thought about teaching Chen Xin a lesson and making him experience everything that had happened to him. But that was just her initial thought.
After all, they are members of the Chen family.
She was waiting to go back and settle accounts with Chen Xin.
Just then, gasps of surprise came from all around.
At first, Chen Siyuan didn't notice, but later, when she saw all the lotus petals fall from the lotus lantern on the stage and saw someone inside the lotus lantern, she was stunned.
"My God! Who are those two people?"
"What... what exactly is going on?"
Everyone stared in astonishment at the scene unfolding on the lotus platform.
On the lotus platform, a scantily clad man and woman lay, seemingly drunk, their eyes glazed over.
That's fine, but the key point is that the two of them were lying together, their intimate actions making people blush.
The Shang Kingdom had a relatively open culture, allowing women to engage in commerce and even having women serve as county magistrates. Seeing this scene before them, everyone was still dumbfounded.
When Chen Siyuan saw the two people inside the lotus lantern, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
Regardless of the commotion around her, she immediately ran towards the platform.
Tao Yifan also felt that this matter was unusual, and he always felt that someone was deliberately targeting the Chen family.
He immediately told Ren Lufei, who was standing next to him, to go over and cover the two of them with some clothes.
The poetry gathering, which was going well, ended prematurely because of this scene.
Those who should have seen it were unaware that the people inside the lotus lantern were Chen Xin and Chen Fan.
With such a major event happening today, it's impossible to cover it up.
Almost within an hour of the incident, everyone who needed to know knew.
...
He was far away in the village, preparing to leave with his two children and all his belongings, when he heard this news and staggered to the ground.
how so?
How could this be?
Wouldn't that ruin both her children?
Xia Xiu was shocked to hear this news.
how so?
How could this be?
Having served Aunt Zhao for so many years, she knew Aunt Zhao's expectations of them, and she also knew that Chen Fan was Aunt Zhao's last resort.
After today, Chen Fan is completely finished.
This time, it wasn't just Chen Fan who was ruined; even Aunt Zhao's last hope was shattered.
After recovering, Aunt Zhao couldn't accept the outcome and immediately took Xia Xiu back to the Chen family.
Regardless, someone must give her an explanation for what happened today, and everything must be salvaged.
She thought of the best scapegoat.
That was Chen Siyuan.
Regardless, everything that happened today must be blamed on Chen Siyuan.
Why should my daughter suffer while that bitch Chen Siyuan gets to marry into the Tao family? Dream on!
