The three of them went upstairs. The corridor was deserted. When they were about to reach the corresponding room, there was a rush of footsteps. The door in front of them suddenly opened. A young boy wearing only the lining of his suit blocked their way and then smiled. The corners of his mouth curled up in a non-smiling way. Perhaps because he was young and had little experience, he didn't know how to better conceal his sarcasm.
"Sister Lian." The young man leaned against the door frame in an awkward position, with his arms folded, "You are not allowed to walk around before the family banquet begins. You have been away from home for too long, have you even forgotten this rule?"
Tang Lian looked at him: "Rules? Who are you? A side branch that I can't even name, how dare you teach me the rules here?"
The young man lowered his head to hide his timidity for a moment, then snorted coldly and became even more arrogant: "Tang Yijiang...now does Sister Lian know? Now that you know, go back quickly. You can even forget the rules when you go out. I'll tell the servants to see you later. It's time to go back." He said that the hostess doesn’t understand etiquette."
The person who knocked on the pot was unexpected. If I say that I met him before, it would at least give me some face. Even if the person in front of me completely revealed the truth about Tang Lian's status in the Tang family, not only would he not be the same as before, but he would also be worse than ever before. , to the point where anyone can step on it.
Tang Lian's mood at this moment was no longer anger, but fear mixed with disbelief.
How is it possible... The rules of the Tang family have been that the head of the family is supreme since the establishment of the Presbyterian Church. How could anyone disobey this rule?
"Forget it." Shi Xin came out to be the peacemaker and patted her on the shoulder, "It's not necessary to hang out anyway, let's go."
The three of them returned to the room without finding anything, and the evil spirit above their heads was still very strong.
"That person did it on purpose." Zhang Ningzhi was the first to speak. "There must be something wrong up there. He doesn't know how to hide his steps. The sound of his footsteps on the ground is loud. It can be seen that he is very anxious."
Shi Xin also heard: "I'm afraid there are some dirty secrets. Let's go and take a look at it at night."
Soon, the banquet started.
The hall was very lively. The children of the Tang family dressed in various evening dresses entered the dance floor and danced like blooming flowers. Young faces were everywhere, filled with youthful atmosphere. From time to time, I saw a few with guns or swords. The black shirts are interspersed among them, creating a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere.
The three people entered and the music stopped abruptly.
Everyone shunned them like snakes and scorpions, and gave way one after another. Those who didn't know it thought it was respect. Their expressions showed disgust and contempt. It wasn't until the three of them found a deserted corner to sit down that it came to an end. The music was playing and the dresses were gorgeous. The pendulum continues to ripple across the dance floor.
Shi Xin took a piece of cake next to him and forked a small piece to the krait. He glanced at it and swallowed it in one gulp, still not satisfied: "Do it again and you'll starve me all day long!"
"Glutty, haven't I been hungry all day?"
One person and one snake immediately started to mess around, and at the same time, they did not forget to grab Tang Lian and Zhang Ning to eat together.
The three of them gradually ate separately, and when Shi Xin had filled his stomach, he looked back and couldn't find Zhang Ningzhi. When he asked, he found out that he had been taken away to socialize by the Inspection Bureau.
She had no choice but to return to the starting position with Tang Lian.
In the middle of the banquet, someone came up to the stage to congratulate the banquet, without mentioning Shi Xin, a guest from afar. She didn't feel embarrassed, and applauded the congratulator with great interest, immediately attracting everyone's attention. Everyone paid attention and looked at her, then quickly looked away as if nothing happened.
Tang Yuncheng picked up a glass of red wine, came to the two of them, and bowed flatteringly: "Sister Lian, are you still angry with me about what happened today?"
Tang Lian had long noticed the movement of Tang Yuncheng coming here. She put on airs and did not give Tang Yuncheng a good look. Firstly, because she was the daughter of the master's family, she had the right to ignore the faults of her subordinates. Secondly, because this morning Tang Yuncheng not only He insulted her and mocked her friends.
"Sister Lian, can you forgive me?"
Tang Yuncheng kept his posture very low, but Tang Lian was determined to teach her a lesson, so she just ignored him.
"Sister Lian, isn't it a bit heartless of you to do this?"
Tang Yuncheng straightened up impatiently, with a look of determination in his eyes: "In that case, I won't bother to talk to you anymore."
Before Tang Lian could taste the meaning of these words, there was a "pop", and the crisp explosion of the goblet falling to the ground resounded in the hall. The music stopped playing again, and everyone on the dance floor looked like the same person on the dance floor. Like clockwork, they all walked towards the scene of the incident without any hesitation.
Tang Lian subconsciously stood up. The uncontrollable oppression of nearly a hundred people filled her with danger.
And Tang Yuncheng took this opportunity to sit down on the ground. The glass shards cut his hand, and the blood and red wine mixed together. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether it was blood or wine.
"What's going on here?"
Tang Mitian squatted down gracefully and asked with concern, while the others kept a close distance from the scene of the incident and blocked the corner tightly.
Tang Yuncheng's tears came as soon as he could, and he cried: "I toasted to Sister Lian, but Sister Lian knocked my cup away and wanted to slap me. I accidentally fell on the glass shards while I was hiding. The fragments were sharp and made holes in my hands!"
"How could this happen?" Tang Mitian looked up in surprise, "Aunt Lian, did you really do this?"
Behind him, men and women in various colored dresses simultaneously showed questioning eyes. Their elegant postures and arrogant expressions were all like those of a noble who was judging the common people. The right to speak of rights and morals was reversed rapidly, as if Tang Lian was really the one who had done evil things and A criminal with a long history.
Tang Lian stabilized her mind and stood coldly: "So what if it is? So what if it's not? How dare a branch branch come to accuse me of doing something wrong? Do you think life is too easy? Or do you all want to get out of the Tang family? ?”
Everyone's confidence in the judgment faded by half, showing the same timidity as Tang Yijiu. They were silent. Even Tang Yuncheng did not dare to say anything.
Tang Mitian suddenly sighed and said: "Aunt Lian, it's good that you are the daughter of the master's family, but you are also an imbecile. The collateral branches cannot resist or refute everything of the master's family, but geniuses can act unscrupulously against imbeciles. You said, we Which rule should I follow?”
Tang Lian didn't expect that Tang Mitian would use these two things to suppress her, because her rating was reduced from genius to imbecile. After this incident, almost all the collateral branches came to express their goodwill and took the trouble to express their kindness to her. She, a woman who might succeed the mistress in the future, expressed her loyalty.
But now, but now?
"No child of the main family has ever been rated as imbecile."
"Sister Lian is really good at respecting the rules, but has she ever thought about whether she has the qualifications?"
"Once I wake up from the dream, I am still not satisfied."
"Slut!"
Tang Lian clenched her fists. The smiling faces she once had were so bright, but now they were so sarcastic.
"presumptuous!"
She was furious and raised her hand to summon Suzaku to intimidate everyone, but Tang Mitian pounced on her and grabbed her arm to stop her.
