"Qi's birthday party? Dad, what does Rongguo Duke's office mean? Is Liu Rufeng crazy? He actually held a birthday party for such an old guy? And he sent the invitation himself?"
The speaker was Rong Yu, the eldest son of the Rong family and Rong Jue's eldest brother.
Lord Rong looked at his eldest son and shook his head.
"We haven't had much contact with Duke Rongguo in recent years. It's a pity that Liu Rufeng has endured it for many years in Duke Rongguo."
"But he came here today. I saw that his face looked good, and there was a faint joy in the corners of his eyes and brows. He said there was a good show, and he asked us all to go. Don't miss it."
ah?
Rong Yu opened his mouth wide and froze on the spot.
Rong Yu admired Liu Rufeng, who was similar to him in age.
The knowledge and abilities of the Great Sanyuan back then were unparalleled. Even the Holy Emperor praised him. Now in the Hanlin Academy, it is the cradle of the Prime Minister and the Chief Minister. Liu Rufeng will definitely be the leader of the Liu family in the future.
The Rong family and the Liu family have basically stopped contacting each other since their younger siblings and niece had an accident and Qi Yanran entered the house.
However, Liu Rufeng must have a gift sent to Rong Mansion during the New Year.
It was given by himself. He had said that it did not represent the Duke of Rong's government, so the Rong family and Liu Rufeng still moved around a bit on weekdays.
"Dad, shall we go?"
"Go, since Rufeng said it, I feel there is something in his words. We will all go when the time comes. If he wants to do something on the spot, remember to help him."
"I understand, Dad."
Rong Yu was particularly happy to do anything that caused trouble for Qi and his daughter.
In the blink of an eye, it was the second day of the lunar new year. Early in the morning, the Rongguo Duke's mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. There were quite a few guests invited today.
Liu Rufeng is the eldest son, and it is his job to greet distinguished guests at the door of the house.
At this time, the Daqi family didn't want to cause trouble for themselves, so they didn't let Liu Rujiang come out. Liu Cheng took his second son inside to entertain the male guests.
When he saw someone coming from the Rong family, Rong Guogong Liu Cheng hurriedly came to greet him and said with a smile: "My father-in-law, I have been waiting for you to come."
Master Rong snorted lightly.
There were many people in this place, so there was no need to show off his face by coming up, so he nodded slightly.
Liu Cheng quickly invited Rong's family in.
Everyone was whispering about the arrival of the Rong family.
Everyone in the capital knew that after Rong Jue married the stepdaughter of Rong Guogong Liu Cheng, the Rong family separated the second child Rong. To put it mildly, the second child of the Rong family was kicked out of the Rong family.
Unexpectedly, Rong Jia also came today.
Everyone was in the middle of brainstorming when they heard another shout from the gate: "The old prince is here!"
When Liu Cheng heard this, he said, "Old Prince?"
Everyone was even more stunned. The Liu family actually invited the old prince here?
Can this old prince come to Rongguo Duke's mansion?
This is so fresh!
The Rong family father and son looked at each other. It seemed like there was a lot of excitement today!
The old prince was the brother of the late emperor. Because he was dissatisfied with what the late emperor had done, he left the capital in anger. Only after King Xin ascended the throne did he invite his uncle back.
This old prince was also proud. He had been fighting with the Li family all his life, and he had risked his life to protect Prince Xin back then.
But he never attended such banquets. Duke Rongguo's family was quite proud.
However, some people felt that today's banquet at Rongguo Duke's Mansion was not delicious. In previous years, it was not such a grand event.
The movement in the front yard soon reached the female guest in the backyard, and Mrs. Xu's eyes were cold.
Mr. Daqi, I hope you have steel teeth, otherwise this meal will not be delicious!
When Da Qi heard this, she realized that the old prince was actually here?
The Rong family father and son are here too?
She felt very happy.
When Qi Yanran heard that Rong's family had arrived, she quickly pulled Rong Shu to the front yard, and saw Master Rong and his son blessed, "My daughter-in-law has met her father, eldest brother."
"Shu'er, please meet your grandfather and uncle soon."
Rong Shu didn't say a word, Qi Yanran pulled her hard.
Rong Shu suddenly threw away Qi Yanran's hand, scratched her neck, and shouted loudly: "I am not his granddaughter, Rong Anan is his granddaughter!"
Qi Yanran's face turned pale.
Rong Anan?
When the guests present heard this, they realized that this was Master Rong's missing granddaughter.
Master Rong's face darkened, and he looked at Qi Yanran with cold eyes without saying a word. Rong Yu's expression was not good-looking either.
Qi Yanran quickly said: "Father, Shu'er is still young, and my daughter-in-law will teach her well."
"It doesn't matter whether you teach her or not. She is right. My only granddaughter is An An." Lord Rong said coldly.
"Father?"
Qi Yanran took a few steps back, her lips trembling. No one present knew the inside story, and what happened back then was not revealed.
Everyone thought that the Rong family didn't like Qi Yanran.
Also, Qi Yanran is just the stepdaughter of the Liu family, her status is too low. Besides, Qi Yanran came in half a year after Liu Ruyue's mother and daughter's accident, but Lord Rong doesn't like Rong Shu either?
After all, this child is also the second child.
Huh? There is obviously a story here!
The people who came today are as smart as monkeys, how can they not understand Rong Mansion’s attitude?
I also made up a big show by supplementing my brain.
As expected, Rong Jue took the blame. His wife and children had only been gone for half a year, and Rong the second child actually got involved with the so-called sister-in-law. Alas, people can't just take it at face value!
No one noticed that a cold glint flashed in the eyes of an inconspicuous servant in the distance.
Rong Guogong Liu Cheng hurriedly stepped forward to rescue the siege. Qi Yanran hit a soft nail and had to grit her teeth and leave.
Her own daughter dug a big hole for her! The fall made her heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys hurt.
Everyone didn't say anything, they all chatted with acquaintances, and the atmosphere at the scene returned to normal.
Soon the banquet started, and the highlight of the day was the Daqing class.
The Daqing class is quite famous in the capital, and the old prince likes to listen to it very much.
Some dignitaries often invite the Daqing Class to their homes, but it is not easy to invite the Daqing Class.
The Daqing Troupe is not permanently stationed in the capital. We haven’t heard from the Daqing Troupe in half a year. We didn’t expect to hear the Daqing Troupe’s performance at the Rongguo Palace today.
On the set up stage, as soon as the opening gongs and drums sounded, the male and female guests' seats immediately fell silent, and the play was about to begin.
A man dressed as a wealthy gentleman walked out from behind the stage with square steps and sang: "It's a beautiful March in spring. I'm busy inspecting shops in my house. My lovely wife and children at home are looking forward to my return. I'm rushing home." .”
Oh, it turns out that this is a businessman who left home to inspect the shop business. His wife and children at home are looking forward to returning home.
Everyone was fascinated by the beautiful singing, and the old prince even smiled and narrowed his eyes in time.
But as the show continued, especially when the master brought the savior's daughter home and kept him as his side room, someone noticed that something was wrong.
Why is this plot so familiar?
The royal wife passed away in less than a year?
The concubine is in power, and the master is alienated from his biological children. He still listens to the concubine and plans to exchange the marriage of his biological daughter with his stepdaughter?
The man didn't know about the back house, but the ladies who came today were moved by this.
How is this thing so similar to what happened in the Duke of Rongguo's house back then?
Da Qi, who was sitting at the hostess table, couldn't sit still. She heard many ladies beside her talking in low voices, and Da Qi could hardly hold back the smile on her face.
Qi Yanran was trembling in her heart.
Daqi wanted the Daqing class to stop singing, so she arranged for the maid to find the class leader.
But the class leader said: "Madam, the old prince likes to hear it, how can this show stop?"
Mrs. Qi's heart was filled with hatred, but she had no choice but to bite the bullet and listen.
The scene changed. The stepdaughter had seduced the concubine's husband several times, but was found out all the time.
The stepdaughter and her step-sister made a poisonous plan. While the eldest daughter was taking her children out, she bribed a killer to intercept and kill the eldest daughter and her daughter on the way!
Mr. Chu was so angry that he slammed the table, "What a vicious mother and daughter, what a blind man!"
Third Young Master Chu even shouted loudly: "Shameless mother and daughter, doves occupy the magpie's nest!"
There was a third young master on one side who was leading people to yell and curse loudly, and the guests below also started to curse.
Master Rong and his son's minds were blank, and they were staring at the stage.
Everyone present who knew some of the inside information understood that the Daqing class was singing about the affairs of the Duke of Rongguo. It was unmistakable!
Rong Guogong Liu Cheng felt like his face had been ripped off so hard that he couldn't even pick it up after being stepped on.
Liu Rufeng!
Hurrah! Hurrah!
No wonder you suggested a grand celebration for Mrs. Daqi’s birthday. It turns out she’s waiting for me here!
What a scoundrel!
