Chapter 136 It seems that this is really a misunderstanding
Bai Lianyan gently supported Yun Yiyi, with a barely perceptible ruthlessness flashing in her eyes.
"Yi Yi, what's wrong with you? Be careful, don't fall." Her voice was as gentle as the spring breeze, but it contained an unknown chill.
Yun Yiyi’s face turned pale and she shook her head: “Sister Yan’er, I… I’m fine, just a little…” scared!
Bai Lianyan was filled with disdain. Yun Yiyi was truly a simple fool. It was too late to regret now. A cold smile curled her lips as she thought about the drama that was about to unfold.
In order to ensure that the plan was foolproof, Bai Lianyan had secretly asked her maid to replace the two guards originally assigned to Yun Yiyi with two ragged beggars.
As long as the wives of the officials and noble families arrived, they would be able to see the dirty scene of Lan Xiyue entangled with the two beggars.
By then, Lan Xiyue would be completely finished and would never be able to appear in front of the Regent again. Moreover, today she had trampled on the reputation of the Duke of Protectorate and the Marquis of Wuguo's Mansion. It was because that old fellow, the Duke of Protectorate, had been playing Tai Chi against the recruitment of the Crown Prince cousin and my father. Let's see what face the Duke of Protectorate can still have today.
Thinking of this, Bai Lianyan couldn't help but feel proud. If her father knew, he would definitely praise her for doing a good job.
………
The old lady was drinking tea and chatting with a group of old ladies, and the atmosphere was very happy.
Lan Xiyue sat quietly aside, her face calm and cool, like a lotus in a pond, untouched by dust.
Ji Huan lowered his head, walked in hurriedly, bowed, and looked hurried, as if he had something to hide.
Lan Xiyue curled her lips into a cold smile, thinking to herself, "Here it comes."
The old lady glanced at Ji Huan with sharp eyes and asked calmly, "Why are you so flustered?"
Ji Huan still lowered his head, unaware of Lan Xiyue beside the old lady. He said in a trembling voice, "Old lady, something bad has happened. Miss Lan is in Lv Man Xuan and hasn't come out. Someone saw two men enter Lv Man Xuan. The young lady and her family don't know what to do, so they came here..."
The old lady slammed the tea table, causing the tea to splash everywhere. "Shut up! How dare you, a servant, speak nonsense here? Yueyue is clearly right next to me, and you dare to slander her?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Huan suddenly looked up and met the cold eyes of Lan Xiyue who was standing beside the old lady. He was shocked and looked stunned. Why was Miss Lan here?
The old lady had a stern expression and a sharp gaze as she stared at Ji Huan: "Come here, drag this maid who is talking nonsense away and lock her up in the woodshed. I will make my final decision after I find out the truth." As soon as she finished speaking, two maids came forward and dragged the panicked Ji Huan away.
At this time, a nanny hurried in and whispered a few words to the old lady's ear.
After hearing this, the old lady's face grew even gloomier. She stood up and said to the other old ladies, "My apologies, dear sisters. There's a sudden matter at the mansion that I need to attend to immediately. Now that the feast is almost ready, I'll have my maid lead you all to the front hall to take your seats. I hope you'll forgive me."
After saying that, the old lady took Lan Xiyue's hand and left in a hurry.
The old ladies looked at each other in bewilderment. They were all old ladies who were used to such scenes. They knew at a glance that someone was causing trouble, and they chose to cause trouble on the birthday of the old lady of the Duke of Protectorate. They were old, so they did not want to join in the fun and followed the maid to the front hall.
"Grandma, please walk slowly. This stone path is a bit slippery."
The old lady patted the back of Lan Xiyue's hand lovingly, her mind full of speculation and her eyes filled with pity: "Yueyue, you were just in my courtyard, how come that maid said you were in Lv Manxuan?"
The two talked as they walked. Of course, Lan Xiyue didn't tell the truth. She only said that she changed her clothes and when she noticed something was wrong, she took her maid and left Lvmanxuan early.
Despite this, there was still anger in the old lady's eyes. It was obvious that someone was framing Yueyue.
"Grandma, don't be angry. I'm fine."
How could the old lady not be angry? Fortunately, Yueyue was smart and knew something was wrong, so she left early, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable!
After passing through the winding corridor, we soon arrived at Lvmanxuan.
At this time, Qin Lan was walking in slowly with a group of ladies. Seeing Lan Xiyue walking with the old lady, a trace of surprise flashed across Qin Lan's face. Then she turned to Ji Rao behind her and said with a hint of blame in her tone: "Ji Rao, didn't you say Yueyue was in Lv Manxuan?"
Ji Rao knelt on the ground, her face pale, hesitating, "Slave...slave..."
Qin Lan said lightly: "You, my slave, it seems that you have seen it wrong."
"Yes...I saw it wrongly."
On the side, Yun Yiyi's eyes flashed with relief and ease the moment her gaze met Lan Xiyue.
Lan Xiyue saw all the subtle changes in emotions and was a little surprised by Yun Yiyi's expression.
Yun Yiyi felt a little uncomfortable, turned her head away and stopped looking at her.
Seeing Lan Xiyue safe and sound, Bai Lianyan's eyes flashed with resentment and resentment. She secretly thought, how could this bitch have such good luck? Shouldn't she be in Lv Manxuan being humiliated by two beggars? Why is she here? Damn it! She was so angry.
Although Lan Lingrou didn't know Bai Lianyan's plan, she could tell from her expression that her plan had failed. It was really useless.
The old lady's sharp eyes swept over Yun Yiyi. Yun Yiyi felt the pressure, her heart tightened, and she lowered her head unconsciously, looking a little flustered.
Seeing this, Qin Lan had some thoughts in her mind. No one knows a mother better than her daughter. Yun Yiyi's every move could not escape her eyes.
Qin Lan winked at the nanny beside her. The nanny understood and quickly stepped forward, pushing open the door of Lv Man Xuan. After a quick inspection, she walked out and reported, "Madam, Madam, there is no one in Lv Man Xuan."
Qin Lan heard this and said with a smile: "It seems that this is really a misunderstanding. This maid must have been dazzled and made a mistake. It's getting late. Let's go to the front yard and don't delay the banquet."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone nodded, and the atmosphere seemed to be slightly awkward because of this false alarm.
The birthday banquet was about to begin, and the maids and servants were moving around, serving dishes and drinks in an orderly manner.
At this moment, men and women were sitting separately in the front yard, separated by a screen.
The laughter and chatter of the ministers and the whispers of the ladies intertwined to form a subtle symphony of power, status and emotion.
