Lin Zhixue didn't even look at Luo Jiaojiao who was lying on the ground. He had been acting with this woman for so many years, but now he didn't have to act anymore.
The Yangcheng Marquis Mansion had long ago withdrawn all the servants who were sent to serve Luo Jiaojiao, and now the Lin Mansion is entirely owned by Lin Zhixue's own people.
After being bound by Yang Chenghou Mansion for so many years, now this Lin Mansion has finally become his home instead of Luo Jiaojiao's home. Lin Zhixue just feels relaxed all over!
……
The banquet hosted by Princess Shou Kang, which Xie Yiyao had been looking forward to, arrived. She was pulled out of bed by Liu Yan and several other maids early in the morning and started to dress up.
Xie Yiyao was wearing a cherry red wide-sleeved gown that Qiong Yifang had delivered yesterday. She was wearing a belt made of gemstones, with countless colorful agate jade pieces hanging from it. She had a bun on her head that made her look particularly lively and smart.
She succeeded in once again stunning the maids who served her.
After everything was packed up, Xie Yiyao went to meet up with Gu Yingxue and Old Lady Xie.
Now whenever Xie Yichen goes out for social events, he has to be with Xie Tingzhou and can no longer be with them. To be honest, Xie Yiyao is really not used to her jealous brother not being around.
Some noble ladies have already arrived at Princess Shoukang's mansion. Everyone's expressions are a little subtle today. Ever since they knew that Princess Shoukang had invited the wife of Marquis Yongchang, they have been looking forward to today's banquet.
They were all very curious about how beautiful the woman was who could change the character of Yongchang Hou, who was said to have a homosexual tendency!
"Hey, I heard that the wife of Yongchang Marquis, Gu Yingxue, is coming today?"
Although they also went to the wedding of Gu Yingxue and Xie Tingzhou, Gu Yingxue was wearing a red veil that day and they didn't see her in person at all.
"Humph, what can a country peasant woman look like!"
A noble lady said somewhat indignantly.
The people sitting next to her looked at each other after hearing what she said, but did not respond. The person who spoke originally wanted to marry Xie Tingzhou.
Now I just feel a little upset that I was outshined by a peasant woman.
In fact, among the people at the banquet today, it is estimated that she is not the only one who has the same mentality as this lady.
After all, Xie Tingzhou was the dream lover of many noble ladies in Beijing.
It’s a pity that he didn’t like any of them and actually married a peasant woman when he was in his 30s and almost a grandfather!
"I heard that not only does Xie Tingzhou pamper her like the apple of his eye, but even the old lady of the Xie Mansion likes her very much."
"That's right. Have you ever seen a bride who asked for a royal decree before she even got married?"
"But it's not just this one thing. The two children they brought with them are officially listed in the Xie family tree. They are legitimate sons and daughters, and they will inherit the Xie family's legacy in the future!"
"Who on earth is this Gu Yingxue? How could she trick Xie Tingzhou to such an extent?"
The ladies were a little bit incredulous when they mentioned this person. This Xie Tingzhou actually handed over the century-old glory of the Xie family to someone else!
Could it be that Mr. Xie and Mrs. Xie from the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion have become senile and confused that they would actually agree to such absurd behavior of Xie Tingzhou!
Luo Jiaojiao listened to the discussion in the corner with a distorted face. It was the first time she knew that Gu Yingxue's children were actually on the Xie family's genealogy.
It seems that she has been ostracized by the noble ladies in the capital, and she just learned such news!
And is Xie Tingzhou really so sincere to her?
Her two children were recorded in the family tree as legitimate descendants of the Xie family, and would be Gu Yingxue's support in the future.
Xie Tingzhou is sincerely planning for Gu Yingxue!
But, why should she? !
She is just a country girl of humble origin, why is she so lucky!
Luo Jiaojiao was filled with hatred and couldn't help but tighten the things she had hidden in her sleeves.
When everyone was discussing Gu Yingxue, they heard the maid at the door come to announce that the old lady of the Xie family and the wife of Marquis Yongchang had arrived!
The hall, which had been a bit noisy, suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, and everyone looked towards the door curiously!
"Hi~!"
Some people still couldn't help but gasp.
The ladies' eyes also changed. This Gu Yingxue was even more beautiful than they had imagined. She didn't look like someone who was almost thirty at all. Instead, she looked more like a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old!
Why is she so young?!
Is she sure she is the mother of two children? !
Some ladies could not help but touch their faces. After getting married, they had to give birth to children and take care of the household chores. There were already some fine lines at the corners of their eyes, and of course, they no longer had the good complexion they had when they were in the boudoir.
And the little girl next to her should be her daughter. She looks very pretty and intelligent. Although she hasn't grown up yet, it is foreseeable that she will be a beauty when she grows up!
It doesn't look like something that can be raised in the countryside at all!
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became a little subtle, and for a moment all the ladies from the noble families were stunned by Gu Yingxue's stunning beauty.
Princess Shoukang was the first to react and came forward with a smile:
"Oh! Thank you, Madam. I'm so glad you came today!"
Princess Shoukang said as she looked at Gu Yingxue with a smile, smacking her lips repeatedly:
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a beauty like a fairy from heaven. No wonder Marquis Yongchang is so infatuated with her!"
Gu Yingxue felt a little embarrassed after hearing these words. Seeing this, Old Lady Xie smiled and said:
"Hurry up and take your birthday gift, otherwise I won't dare to eat at your table!"
Princess Shoukang laughed even more happily after hearing this, and hurriedly ordered the maid behind her to accept the birthday gift brought by Old Madam Xie.
Then he invited Old Madam Xie, Gu Yingxue and Xie Yiyao to sit in the upper seats.
The ladies in the hall only reacted at this moment and immediately started chatting as if nothing had happened.
But his eyes were always looking towards Gu Yingxue intentionally or unintentionally.
Luo Jiaojiao stared at Gu Yingxue intently. After not seeing her for so many years, she had become even more beautiful. Even if she didn't want to admit it, it was obvious that Gu Yingxue was living a very good life in the Xie family.
A woman who is cared for wholeheartedly by a man is confident, outspoken, and has a hint of natural pampering.
Luo Jiaojiao looked at Gu Yingxue, whose face was flushed and exuded an aura of happiness and satisfaction, and for some reason a strong sense of inferiority welled up in her heart.
Her family is not as good as Gu Yingxue's family, her man is not as good as Gu Yingxue's man, and she seems to be a clown in front of Gu Yingxue.
Luo Jiaojiao's eyes were full of resentment. Why should she live better than herself!
Xie Yiyao sat in her seat with a happy look on her face. She looked at the table filled with all kinds of exquisite snacks and ate them without any hesitation!
Some little girls who came with their mothers in the hall also looked at Xie Yiyao curiously.
Of course, Xie Yiyao was not afraid of being stared at at all. When she saw someone looking at her, she would even give them a bright smile in return!
Gu Yingxue looked at her daughter who was obviously adapting better than her, and suddenly despised herself in her heart. She was so old, but she was not even as good as her own daughter.
So I pretended to be relaxed and dealt with the stares from people around me.
Mrs. Xie was very pleased to see this, but in fact she didn't have to come to the banquet today.
But she knew that people in the capital were used to flattering the powerful and bullying the weak, and changing their attitudes according to the situation.
She was worried that someone would bully her granddaughter-in-law. Although she knew that no one dared to embarrass the Xie family, the ladies never fought each other openly, but always stabbed each other in the back.
Therefore, she specially went to the banquet with her granddaughter-in-law, just to tell everyone in Beijing how much her Xie family values her granddaughter-in-law, Gu.
This way they will behave more restrainedly.
The ladies in the hall were all noble ladies from the capital who were brought up to be the mistress of the house since childhood, and each of them was a shrewd person.
Now looking at the expression of Mrs. Xie, she knew that she really liked this granddaughter-in-law, and she immediately put away all the little thoughts in her heart.
At least he no longer looked down on Gu Yingxue. Although Gu Yingxue's family was not very supportive, she had the support of her husband's family.
They would not bring bad luck to the Xie family when they were cherishing Gu Yingxue, so it seemed that Gu Yingxue's smile had a little more sincerity.
Xie Yiyao found it very interesting to watch the changing faces of people in the hall.
These ancient people had little entertainment, and I guess the only entertainment was intrigue!
