After being read, the abstinent prince bullies others with his wife every day
Chapter 20 Engagement Banquet
Wang rarely saw Nanny Song so uneasy, so she asked, "What happened? Did the master lift the house arrest for Rou'er?"
Hope flashed in her eyes.
Aunt Song slapped her thigh and said, "It's the Third Miss's business!"
The look in Wang's eyes suddenly darkened, and she said with disgust: "Why mention that little bitch? Do you think I'm living a comfortable life?"
"Madam, the master has promised the third young lady to Zhou Yuan, the young master of the Duke's Mansion. The visiting cards have been exchanged and the third young lady has been informed. The engagement banquet will be held the day after tomorrow!" said Nanny Song.
"What?" Wang was so excited that she wanted to sit up, but she pulled the wound. She turned pale in pain and gasped with a grimace. She was about to lie down again, but the burning part of her butt was also pulled. Wang was sweating profusely and gritted her teeth and said, "Did that little bitch agree?"
"Of course, what I heard with my own ears cannot be false!"
Nanny Song said with a firm tone, placing the medicine bowl in Wang's hands: "Madam, think about it, once the engagement banquet is held, the Second Miss will be able to be released from house arrest, which is a great thing!"
"Yes, you are right!" Wang said excitedly, "Go to the storehouse and take the brocade sent from the palace to the clothing store. Customize a dress for Rouer according to her measurements. Remember, you must find the best craftsman!"
There will definitely be many sons of officials coming to the engagement party of that little bitch. Maybe even the prince will come to cheer for the sake of the master. By then, Rouer must overwhelm the whole audience and attract everyone's attention. Maybe Rouer can take advantage of this opportunity to marry into the royal family in one fell swoop!
"Yes, madam, I'll do it right away!" Nanny Song took the order and turned to leave.
Wang's eyes were filled with excitement and she drank the medicine in the bowl in one gulp. She must get better soon and help her Rouer to outshine all the other beauties at the engagement banquet!
The flowers bloom for three days, and three days pass in the blink of an eye.
Today, the Shangshu Mansion was decorated with lights and colorful lanterns inside and outside, and a grand banquet was held. Although it was an engagement banquet, it had almost the pomp of a wedding. Red silk was hung inside and outside the mansion, and red lanterns were hung high in front of the door. There were 300 boxes of dowry in the inner courtyard, and each box was tied with red silk, which was very grand.
Lian Er pushed the door open and came in, placing the dress in her hands on the table, and said softly, "Miss, the mansion is really lively today, with lights and decorations everywhere."
Lin Shuning sat in front of the dressing table, smiling: "Of course, if the engagement banquet at the Shangshu Mansion is not grand, it would be a loss of face for the Shangshu."
She emphasized the word "face".
She lowered her eyes, reached out and fiddled with the dress Lian'er brought, and asked, "Where did you get it from?"
"The master ordered me to bring it. He said it was specially made for you, young lady. Do you want to wear it?"
"Of course I have to wear it," Lin Shuning smiled, "I can't wear my plain clothes today, wouldn't that make father unhappy?"
This brocade dress is exquisitely made, colorful and has a very complicated design. It can be seen that a lot of work went into it.
Lian'er was busy for a long time before she put on the brocade clothes layer by layer, and then began to dress Lin Shuning.
After getting dressed, Lian'er couldn't help but exclaimed: "Miss, Lian'er has never seen someone as exquisite as you in my life, you are like a fairy in the sky."
She was stunned by Lin Shuning's beauty the first time she saw her, and now dressed up, she looked even more radiant and charming.
I don’t know how people like Lin Cheng and Wang Shi, who are so ordinary-looking, could give birth to such a beautiful girl.
Lin Shuning fiddled with her dress, feeling a little uncomfortable. She didn't say anything, and no one knew what she was thinking.
Lin Rouan was wearing a cloud-white feather gauze dress today, with light makeup on, looking pure and moving. In addition, she had been locked up in the room for these days and had no appetite, so she had lost a lot of weight. Her waist was slender and she looked like a willow in the wind. When she walked into the main hall, everyone who saw Lin Rouan couldn't help but exclaim in their hearts.
"The Second Miss is indeed the Shangshu's proudest daughter. With such a figure and appearance, any man would surely be attracted to her!"
"Yes, the second young lady is well-educated and well-mannered, and is proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She deserves the title of the most beautiful woman in the capital!"
"You are dressed so simply today, yet you still look beautiful. You are truly a beautiful lady. I wonder who is so lucky to have won the favor of the Second Miss."
Everyone praised her one after another, making Lin Cheng and Wang, who were standing next to Lin Rouan, very proud.
Lin Cheng smiled and greeted everyone: "Everyone take a seat. Thank you all for coming to support my daughter today. I will drink first as a sign of respect."
As he said this, he drank the wine glass in his hand.
Sitting in the main hall were all Lin Cheng's acquaintances in the officialdom. Regardless of whether they were on the united front or not, they all came to show their support. Seeing this, other guests followed suit.
Lin Cheng finished his glass and poured himself another one. He raised the glass to Yun Sheng who was sitting on his left and said, "I didn't expect that Lord Yun would come today. I feel so honored!"
Yun Sheng smiled faintly, raised the teacup beside him humbly and politely, and said: "The Third Miss is getting engaged today, so I naturally want to come and support her. My wife doesn't allow me to drink, so I will use tea instead of wine. I hope you can forgive me."
After saying that, he drank the tea in one gulp.
Lin Cheng's self-esteem today can be said to have been greatly satisfied. First, he was proud of Lin Rouan's beauty, and then the Yun family of the General's Mansion came to show their support.
Inside the seats, everyone had different thoughts.
Ever since Lin Rouan sat down, Zhou Yuan's eyes have never left her. Mrs. Zhou was concerned about everyone's eyes and secretly reminded him several times.
Zhou Yuan's eyes were filled with impatience, and he lowered his voice and said, "Mom, if you want me to marry someone as beautiful as the Second Miss, I'll accept it, but Lin Shuning is uneducated and unskilled, and she's definitely not as pretty as the Second Miss. I don't want to marry her at all. Why don't you help me talk to let me marry the Second Miss!"
"Nonsense!" Duke Zhou said angrily, warning: "It's ok if you make trouble at other times, but now is not the time for you to be so unruly!"
Given his son's personality, he was already very satisfied that the Shangshu Mansion was willing to marry their daughter into the family.
Zhou Yuan shrugged, looking sullen, and continued to stare at Lin Rouan.
Lin Rouan could naturally feel this burning gaze, but she did not feel disgusted. Instead, she enjoyed the naked look from her future brother-in-law.
"Why hasn't Ning'er come yet?" Lin Cheng waited for a while, looked at the time, and was a little unhappy to see that Lin Shuning had not come yet.
When Lin Shuning was mentioned, a trace of jealousy flashed across Lin Rouan's eyes, but she said, "Today is my sister's engagement day, so I must prepare well, so it will take some time."
"Yes, master, please wait for Ning'er for a while." Wang also said. Her wounds had not healed yet, and it hurt when she spoke through the wounds, but she had to attend the meeting despite the pain.
Today, she had ordered people to dress up Lin Rouan early in the morning. She believed that as long as Lin Shuning showed up, she would be outshined by Lin Rouan.
She wanted to see with her own eyes, watch Lin Shuning being stepped on by Lin Rouan, watch Lin Shuning jump into the fire pit of Zhou Yuan.
At this time, Butler Liu looked outside the hall and said, "The Third Miss is here!"
Hearing this, Lin Rouan, Wang Shi, and everyone else looked over.
