In the hall, Lou Guiqing stood up immediately after hearing this. A woman wearing a rose-red embroidered skirt immediately stood in front of her.
"Jiyun is young and ignorant. Sister, don't be angry. I'll go talk to her."
Lou Guiqing frowned and glanced at her, "Today is the main banquet. If the old lady hadn't asked you to handle it, you would never be able to attend as my concubine. If you can't manage your daughter well, I don't mind taking charge of the house again. .”
Qi Ji immediately put on an aggrieved face and said, "Sister, don't get me wrong. The old lady has orders, and I have to obey them."
Song Ying walked down the steps and grabbed Qian Jiyun's collar, "I'm just uneducated. Apologize to my cousin immediately, or I'll tear your mouth apart."
Song Ying is famous for fighting in the capital, not to mention that she always follows her mother to the camp, and her actual combat accumulation is not comparable to that of these young ladies who are good at practicing.
"Jiyun, if you are asked to apologize, just apologize. Don't make Miss Song angry!"
Qi Ji twisted her waist and came out of the crowd, holding a handkerchief, looking like she was being bullied.
Mo Lan patted Song Ying on the shoulder and said, "Cousin, let go. No matter how much the Qian family's lady doesn't welcome guests, you are the legitimate daughter. Be more dignified and don't argue with her, so as not to make people think you are wronged." You’re bullying!”
Her last words were louder, and the ladies who were chatting animatedly in the pavilion stopped immediately.
"Well said, why bother with these filthy things."
Gong Xian sat in the center of the pavilion, walked over step by step, looked at Qian Jiyun, but stopped in front of Qi Ji.
He turned around and looked at her, "You are a concubine, and you go to the official banquet to talk. Why, the Qian family's first wife has become you?"
Qi Ji's face was livid, and she turned to look at Lou Guiqing, but she picked up a cup of tea and drank it leisurely.
"Princess Zhaoyang is here unexpectedly. I have invited you here to celebrate my birthday. Please don't hit anyone at my banquet!"
A slightly older voice sounded, and in front of the archway stood an energetic old lady, wearing a vermilion double-breasted dress, and her fingers were covered with pure gold rings inlaid with jade of various colors.
Slightly chubby, she looks noble from a distance, but the mean look on her face tells you that she is not easy to get along with.
The maid supported her and walked slowly to Gong Xian, "She's just a servant, just tell her to get out. She's a disgrace, get out."
"yes."
Qi Ji's eyes flashed, with a look of grievance on her face, and she twisted her waist and walked away.
The old lady took Gong Xian's hand and turned around. She paused when she saw Mo Lan, "Hey~ This is the little girl from the Mo family. We haven't seen each other for many years. She has grown so big. When your grandmother and I met, Your mother hasn’t been born yet.”
A strong aura locked onto Mo Lan, and the pressure continued to spread. Mo Lan looked at the old lady in front of him with a smile.
I was a little surprised that this old lady turned out to be a sixth-level spiritual sect.
"Hello, Mrs. Qian."
Qi Xiangfen withdrew her pressure and Mo Lan faced it calmly, which made her feel a little unsure. A girl who had been useless for many years could suddenly practice cultivation and could withstand her pressure.
"Okay, girl, you are so polite. Is your mother here?"
snort! Asking questions knowingly!
"Shuyu sent me an invitation the day before yesterday, and it only had Mo Lan's name on it, so today I am the only female member of the Mo family who is here."
Qi Xiangfen turned to glare at Qian Shuyu in the crowd, "You girl, why are you so rude? I asked you to come to deliver invitations, but why did you only invite Mo Lan!"
Qian Shuyu's eyes immediately turned red, "Grandma, Shuyu made a mistake, please punish me."
Mo Lan held Qi Xiangfen's arm and smiled affectionately, "Madam, don't be angry. It's better for you to be happy today for your birthday."
Qi Xiangfen patted her hand gently, "As long as you don't mind. Oh, you can't have fun with me as an old woman here. Jiyun, help grandma go back and have a rest."
Qian Jiyun tugged at Song Ying's wrinkled clothes, gave her a vicious look, and took Qi Xiangfen's hand from Mo Lan.
Qi Ji was driven away, and Lou Guiqing had to go to the second gate to greet the guests. From a distance, he saw Qian Yuanfeng pushing Gong Pingcheng.
Gong Pingcheng still had a good temper and sent her to the door of the female guest's yard. He met Mo Lan's gaze, nodded and smiled.
Qian Yuanfeng lowered his face and followed his gaze to Mo Lan. When he saw the large red spot on her face, he immediately averted his gaze.
"Which vixen are you smiling at?"
Qian Shuyu was the first to greet her, "Eldest sister is back. That must have been the eldest brother-in-law just now. I heard that some time ago, he frightened Sister Mo Lan at the palace gate so much that she hurriedly climbed into the carriage."
After saying this, she still chuckled and shook her head, "Oh! Why should I tell you this? Sister, you should know better than me."
Qian Yuanfeng distanced himself from her, "You concubine, stay away from me and don't get close to me. From now on, you will be just a concubine in the fifth brother's house, a servant. The master has not spoken yet, how can you be there?" Just to interrupt!"
He casually picked up a cup of tea and walked towards Mo Lan, "Little bitch, the fifth brother doesn't want to marry you, but you're here to seduce the second prince!"
A cup of hot tea was poured on Mo Lan's head. Gong Xian quickly pulled it away, but Mo Lan's sleeves were still stained with tea.
"Yuan Feng, what are you doing?"
Qian Yuanfeng breathed rapidly, stared, and said through gritted teeth, "This little bitch, this waste, dares to seduce Heisei!"
Mo Lan raised her eyes and said expressionlessly, "The second prince and concubine listened to some villain's nonsense to arrange me like this."
Not long after Qian Yuanfeng was born, Lou Guiqing made peace with Qian Dezhang and returned to her parents' home.
She was raised by Qi Xiangfen's side since she was a child, and she was arrogant and domineering. After Lou Guiqing returned to the Qian family, they were not close to each other, and the situation worsened after she married the second prince.
Later, after what happened to the second prince, he became even more irritable. If he accidentally made eye contact with her, he would be scolded by her.
"Qian Shuyu, come here and tell me if she seduced Heisei!"
Qian Shuyu murmured, looking like he was still trying to speak, which made Qian Yuanfeng emotionally confused. He slapped her in the face, "I'm asking you, are you deaf or mute?"
"Sister, I just saw my brother-in-law and mentioned that he scared Mo Lan into the carriage. I didn't say anything else."
Qian Yuanfeng gritted his teeth and glared at Mo Lan, "How dare you say you don't have it!"
Mo Lan folded her hands and suddenly laughed, "Haha, Shuyu, you always talk like this, half of what you say and half of what you hide, which makes people misunderstood. It was the fifth prince who sent me out of the palace after I accepted the post from the imperial concubine a few days ago. When I met the second prince, the concubine suddenly felt uncomfortable, so the fifth prince asked the second prince to send me out of the palace. If the second prince and concubine don't believe it, you can ask the fifth prince."
Su Jingwan leaned on the railing, holding a cat in her arms, "I can testify to this. That day I happened to go into the palace to accompany my aunt to choose new clothes, and I saw them at the gate of the palace. Oops, it was the second prince who chanted sutras. Ah, who wouldn’t run away after seeing you? Qian Shuyu, do you always talk like this? It’s not good to cause people to misunderstand.”
Qian Shuyu held his hand with an aggrieved look on his face, "Shuyu's mouth is stupid and almost caused a disaster. I hope the eldest sister and Mo Lan will not harm their friendship."
"Hey! When I see you like this, I want to beat you up. Who can show you such aggrieved face? It's annoying to see you!"
