In the evening, Sina finally walked out of the room, but she was not there to see Leng Ming, she was there to attend the dinner party.
In the afternoon, Acai came to inform her that her sister said that she must attend tonight's dinner, because tomorrow, her brother-in-law and father will go to the emperor to clarify her and her mother's identities. Then, she will have to hide it no longer.
When she appeared in the side hall of Prince Yu's mansion in a pink dress, the first person to be stunned was Leng Xi.
He looked at Xina, then at Luo Lan who was sitting next to Leng Yu, and asked with a puzzled look on his face:
"What...what's going on?"
Luo Lan smiled and waved to Xina and Xiaoling.
"Mother, Nana, this is Prince Xi. Everyone is waiting for you. Please take a seat."
Xina glanced at Lengxi, and her sharp eyes made Lengxi quickly look back at her.
After the two of them sat down, Leng Yu explained:
"Xi'er, these are your fourth sister-in-law's mother and sister, General Liu's wife and second daughter. I plan to report this to the Emperor tomorrow, asking him to restore their status."
Xina's eyes made Leng Xi fall into memories. He suddenly thought of the masked woman from Chu State. That woman's sharp eyes were exactly the same as the woman in front of him. Moreover, Luo Lan called her Nana, and that woman's name also had the word "Na" in it...
Yes, it must be her.
Thinking of this, he nodded pretending not to know.
"Mrs. Liu, Miss Liu Er, I am Lengxi. Please take care of me in the future."
Xiaoling replied with a smile:
"Lord Xi, I've heard of your great name for a long time. Seeing you today, I can see that you are indeed extraordinary."
Leng Xi nodded politely and looked at Xina. Xina didn't speak to him or even look him in the eye.
However, Leng Xi was more interested in this mysterious woman.
She looked so much like Shui Luolan that he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, how could there be two people in this world who looked so similar?
Leng Ming was not present at this dinner because he couldn't stand Leng Xi, so he returned to Prince Ming's Mansion early.
Xina sat down next to An An, and Xiaoling sat beside her.
After everyone was seated, Leng Yu said to everyone:
"This is the first time Prince Xi's family has dined at Prince Yu's Mansion. The food is quite casual, so please don't mind."
Leng Xi clasped his fists and replied politely:
"Fourth brother, your hospitality is so gracious and you don't seem to be being casual at all. We must visit each other often in the future. I will host a banquet at Prince Xi's Mansion in a few days. I hope Fourth brother and his wife will bring Madam Liu, Miss Liu Er, and the children to attend the banquet."
After saying this, he picked up the wine glass in front of him.
"Fourth brother, Xi'er offers you a toast. Thank you for putting aside past grudges and inviting our family to dine here."
Leng Yu also picked up the wine glass in front of him, nodded calmly, and took a sip of the wine in the glass.
After Leng Xi drank a glass of wine, he instructed Qiaoqiao:
"Qiaoqiao, give a toast to Fourth Sister-in-law, Madam Liu, and Miss Liu."
Yu Qiaoqiao was about to respond to him, but suddenly she remembered what Luo Lan had said to her, and then she shook her head.
"I can't drink, you know that."
"you……"
Leng Xi didn't expect that this woman would dare to refute him in public, and he was so angry that the veins on his face bulged.
Seeing this, Luo Lan thought to himself that Yu Qiaoqiao had changed quite quickly.
She was busy trying to smooth things over.
"Qiaoqiao doesn't drink, and neither does my mother and Nana. Let's just drink juice. I ordered someone to brew it with fresh fruit. It's really delicious."
Yu Qiaoqiao then picked up the cup in front of her with a smile on her face.
"Mrs. Liu, Second Miss Liu, Fourth Sister-in-law, we are sorry to bother you with our presence today. We hope that you can visit Prince Xi's Mansion if you have the chance."
Xiaoling also picked up the cup in front of her. Although Xina's face was gloomy, she also raised her cup and took a sip of the juice in the cup.
Although the dinner was a bit awkward, the four children were enjoying themselves. It was as if nothing unpleasant had ever happened between them. They kept talking and laughing...
Leng Yu and Luo Lan did not return to the room until they had seen Leng Xi and his family off.
As soon as Luo Lan sat down, Leng Yu came behind her and began to massage her shoulders.
“My lady, I always feel that Leng Xi’s sudden change is not a good thing.”
Luo Lan half-closed her eyes, enjoying the comfortable feeling of Leng Yu massaging her shoulders, and said:
"Maybe he's really figured it out! I don't think he's pretending. Yu Qiaoqiao also mentioned it. Leng Xi said he wants to go back to the way things were before. He's tired of all the intrigue and scheming these days."
"Yu Qiaoqiao and he are family, so they would naturally say the same thing. Do you believe it?"
"Yes, I want to believe that he is a prodigal son who has returned. Otherwise, why would he come to show his goodwill? They can't be like Leng Ming said, starving and coming here to eat, right? Even if the emperor cuts off the salary of the Xiwang Mansion, he won't let them starve. We might as well think that he has come to his senses."
"I hope so! I'm always worried. Even if he really comes to his senses, you should be more careful around him in the future."
Luo Lan reached around her shoulders and took his hand, looking up at him and nodding playfully.
"Everything is up to you, my husband. I've been tired these past few days. Would you like to relax for a while?"
Leng Yu naturally knew what she meant, but he still pretended not to understand and frowned.
"Relax? How do you relax? Do you want to massage your husband's feet?"
Seeing that he was playing dumb, Luo Lan simply agreed with him. She stood up, pulled him to sit on the bed, and muttered to him while helping him take off his shoes.
"My foot massage skills are very powerful, my husband, you'll have to hold on tight."
