When she said these words, she leaned closer to Mr. Li and kept her voice extremely low, so no matter how carefully the people around her listened, they still didn't listen.
But seeing Li's face turning from white to red and then blue, he knew that he definitely didn't say anything nice.
Otherwise, I wouldn't be so angry.
Mrs. Li was so angry that her hands were shaking, she pointed at Wei Jingwei and angrily said, "Okay Mrs. Wei, I was sympathetic to your experience just now, but you actually said that to me today. Are you trying to break up with me!"
Wei Jingwei showed an aggrieved look on her face, pinched the handkerchief and said: "I just praised Mrs. Li, why did you suddenly turn against me? I said you have a gentle temper and a gentle temperament... It seems that I must have said that. It's my fault that I made you so unhappy."
Li's close friends were afraid that the two of them would cause trouble and quickly stepped forward to hold her back.
Li Shi woke up immediately. She also knew that attending a banquet at someone else's house today would not look good. She quickly put away her anger, but she still kicked Wei Jingwei hard with her eyes.
"It seems that Mrs. Li is not angry anymore? There is a banquet today, but it is the first time for my sister-in-law to organize it. She also treats everyone to a good meal and a good drink."
Wei Jingwei made a welcoming gesture, and then brought these ladies to the table to drink tea and eat fruits.
She socialized with other people smoothly and then went back to the courtyard to rest, waiting for the luncheon to begin.
Soon, a maid came to the front yard. She hurried into Hongxia Pavilion and was stopped by Ma San and others, who then sent someone to pass a message to Wei Jingwei.
She was sitting at the table drinking tea and smiled coldly when she heard this.
Sure enough, there was a fuss.
That day, Mei's mother asked her to look at the banquet list and banquet seats, and she knew something was wrong.
But she didn't want to interfere.
Isn't Mei Xiaoqin arrogant? Let her solve it by herself. She wanted to see if she was really that capable.
Putting down the teacup in her hand, she ordered: "Go back to the maid and tell me that I'm feeling unwell right now and need to rest for a while. If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it later."
With that said, she went inside.
Su Er bowed and walked out, and saw the maid glaring at Ma San angrily. As soon as she saw Su Er, she hurriedly held her arm as if seeing a savior and said, "Sister Su Er, where is Madam? Why isn't Madam here?"
Su Er calmly put her hand away, with a smile on her face, "Madam, I got up early today. My son is feeling a little unwell right now. He just lay down. If there is anything else, we can talk about it later."
The maid couldn't stand what she heard and quickly grabbed her sleeves again, "Sister Su'er, please tell Madam that something happened in the front yard!"
"Isn't your young lady socializing? She did the hard work today with her own hands. My wife wouldn't want to steal her limelight."
The maid was extremely anxious. Seeing that Su'er still looked like she didn't know what to do, her tone became serious.
"Let's not talk about the limelight and the limelight at this time. There is a quarrel in the front yard. At this time, why is Madam still resting? Don't tell anyone about it and make people laugh."
The little maid usually learns from whatever master she wants, but now she can no longer suppress the anger in her heart.
"Oh, you are so brave, you actually dare to do this. Why do you think that Madam is also someone you can talk to because you are Miss Mei's maid?"
The maid also felt a little regretful at this moment, with a sarcastic look on her face.
"I...I'm in a hurry, so I offended Madam. It's my fault. Sister Su'er can punish you if you want, but please hurry up and call Madam."
Su'er didn't use excuses, but instead blocked the door more firmly, with a half-smile on her face, "I can't bear this call, sister, I said I won't pass it on today no matter what. Your young lady has been learning how to run a household with my wife for so long, so she must be able to handle it."
After saying that, she went back to the house alone. The maid's eyes were wide open. She didn't expect that the people in Hongxia Pavilion were so troublesome. She was anxiously thinking about how to apologize when she went back so as not to be beaten.
She hurriedly returned to the yard and saw Mei Xiaoqin standing there being scolded. The woman was still upset and continued: "I came to attend today, and you actually arranged for me to be like this." Sitting together alone, everyone knows that she has evil intentions in the boudoir and has something to do with my husband. Could it be that you did it on purpose."
"I..." Mei Xiaoqin hesitated for a long time, but she didn't even come up with a single distinguishable sentence.
Do you want her to admit that she made a mistake? Today was obviously to wash away the bad statements she had made in the past, but why did she get darker and darker?
She thought with some distress, but she soon saw the maid beside her out of the corner of her eye, her eyes lit up and she asked, "Where's my sister-in-law?"
The maid stepped forward timidly, clasping her hands tightly, "Slave... I went to invite the madam, but the lady couldn't refuse. The maid called at the door for a while, but no one paid attention to me in the yard. Even slaves can’t.”
"Ignore you? Does my sister-in-law really want to put her hands down and ignore you?"
The more Mei Xiaoqin thought about it, the angrier she became. As the mistress of the house, Wei did not act like this. She was waiting for her to make a fool of herself.
It was Mei Yuanqing's intervention that quietly settled the quarrel. He called Mei Xiaoqin aside, who was looking unhappy, "What's going on today? You've been studying housekeeping for a while, how could you still make such a mistake?"
Mei Yuanqing was also a little angry. His sister was laughed at by so many people today, and he was disgraced.
"I...isn't it all Wei's fault? There was no big fuss at first, but I sent my maid to invite her, but she couldn't refuse. Brother, look at how arrogant she is!"
Mei Xiaoqin was also very aggrieved. He grabbed Mei Yuanqing's sleeve and complained.
His words were full of dissatisfaction with Wei Jingwei.
"Okay, okay, don't be angry. I'll talk to her later. The top priority is to get the things done right now. You go and watch the kitchen, and nothing will happen next."
Mei Xiaoqin could only nodded aggrievedly.
After this incident, the male guest looked at Mei Yuanqing with a mocking look.
This banquet caused such a big mistake at the beginning, and it is really insulting to be polite.
Mei Yuanqing also felt the gazes on everyone and could only try his best to maintain the smile on his face.
Some of the guests who came today came because of Wei Jingwei and the Liu family's reputation, and they did not show any pretense towards Mei Yuanqing.
After socializing for a while, he retreated and headed towards Hongxia Pavilion with anger in his heart.
After being ordered to go in, he was originally full of anger and wanted to accuse Wei Jingwei. Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked in, he saw her lying on a Xiangfei couch with a pale and tired face.
"Why are you here at this time?" Seeing Mei Yuanqing, Wei Jingwei felt sarcastic in her heart, but she still said calmly.
"There's a lot of noise in the front yard. Xiaoqin's maid just came to look for you. She said you weren't feeling well. Why didn't you tell me earlier today?"
Feeling his probing gaze, Wei Jingwei twitched the corners of her lips and said calmly: "So you are here now because you think I am pretending to be sick?"
