I kicked out my vicious husband and married his great-uncle
Chapter 216 How embarrassing!
Hearing what Mrs. Cui said, Mrs. Xie also looked towards the entrance of the banquet hall, and sure enough, she saw Cui Shuyan walking in.
Seeing Cui Shuyan here, Mrs. Xie could hardly recognize her.
Today, Cui Shuyan was wearing a light blue brocade long dress. As she walked, the dress seemed to be shining, making her whole body sparkle.
No, to be exact, it was when Cui Shuyan put on the dress that the dress brought out its original brilliance.
Because today, Cui Shuyan is so dazzling.
She had a light powder on her face, her lips were red without any makeup, and her eyes were as bright as stars in the dark night. What complemented her was the jade crystal tassel hairpin on her head, which shone brightly when she walked, making Cui Shuyan look even more dazzling and peerless, making people dare not look directly at her.
"This, is this Cui Shuyan?" Madam Xie couldn't believe it.
Madam Cui's eyes were filled with jealousy: "Who else could it be but Cui Shuyan? Even if she turned into ashes, I would recognize her!"
For so many years, Cui Shuyan has been a thorn in her side. Not to mention that she had just changed her outfit, even if the change was drastic, as long as she was still Cui Shuyan inside, she would definitely be able to recognize her!
"Why is she here?"
Madam Cui curled her lips and said disdainfully, "Why else? She must have known that Dr. He is the honored guest of the He residence today, and she came here to take advantage of her!"
"If that's the case, your eating manner is really too ugly." Madam Xie said with a look of disgust on her face.
"Who says it's not true? If she gets into trouble, wouldn't I, as her nominal mother, also be embarrassed? Oh my God, I'm lucky I came here today, otherwise she would have caused such a big mess and I wouldn't have known anything about it!"
After saying this, seeing Cui Shuyan about to pass by her and walk to the front, Madam Cui lowered her voice and said sternly: "Cui Shuyan, stop!"
Suddenly seeing Madam Cui, still dressed as an old maid, Cui Shuyan felt like laughing for some reason: "Why are you here?"
Regarding inviting guests, Mrs. He confirmed with her in advance and asked her who she had grudges against, and said that no one with whom she had grudges would be invited.
Moreover, given Cui Shangjin's official position, Mrs. Cui would not be among those invited.
Knowing this, Cui Shuyan didn't say anything.
I never thought that Mrs. Cui would come today.
At this moment, when Madam Cui heard this, she thought Cui Shuyan was guilty: "Don't worry about why I'm here. Let me ask you, what are you doing here? Do you have an invitation?"
Madam Cui had noticed long ago that although there was a maid following Cui Shuyan, neither the maid nor Cui Shuyan had a single invitation in their hands.
To a banquet of this level, he came uninvited without an invitation and even thought of sneaking in under the watchful eyes of everyone. I wonder how thick-skinned he is!
Besides, Cui Shuyan, a divorced woman, dares to show up in public. She is really out of her mind!
Thinking of this, Mrs. Cui felt more and more that her accusation was correct.
Even though many people were looking at her at this moment, Mrs. Cui was not afraid. Instead, she straightened her back.
Today, she must let people know how strictly she manages her household, and also let these noble ladies know about the existence of their Cui family.
In this way, it would be easier to find a marriage for her daughter in the future.
However, at this moment, a dissatisfied rebuke was heard: "Who are you? Is it your turn to make decisions at my He family's banquet?"
Madam Cui wanted to refute, but when she saw that it was Madam He who was speaking, her tone became weaker and more flattering: "Madam He, you don't know that I am Cui Shuyan's mother. She is so rude and came here without an invitation. It is really because of my negligence. Don't worry, I will drive her out and discipline her strictly."
After saying that, Madam Cui shouted at Cui Shuyan, "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you kowtow to Madam He and admit your mistake!"
As she spoke, Madam Cui felt extremely proud.
The reason why the He family held today's full moon banquet so grandly was to sweep away the haze of the past. But now, Cui Shuyan has caused such a big mistake, which is equivalent to offending the people of the He family.
This is the residence of the current Minister of Revenue!
Having offended the He family, Cui Shuyan's reputation in the capital will be ruined in the future.
Even if her brother Luo Jinyu was the top scholar of the dynasty, it would be of no use!
So what if I’m the top scorer?
As a mere top scholar, I don’t know how many years it would take for him to climb to the position of a second-rank official. But Shangshu He is already a second-rank official now.
When Madam Cui was feeling proud, she was questioned by Madam He: "Who are you? You are wearing a maid's clothes, but you say you are the mother of Doctor Cui. How can that be possible?"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Cui blushed.
However, she had been the matriarch of the Cui family for many years, so she had some ability to please everyone. She rolled her eyes and said immediately, "I heard that the He family had broken through the shackles of many years and had a grandson, so I wanted to come and share in the joy."
"Humph, you come here uninvited. Where does Madam Cui get the confidence from? Or do you think that the threshold of my He Mansion is open to any random person?"
Madam Cui's face flushed: "Madam He, it's really... it's really..."
Mrs. He ignored what she said and asked coldly, "Who did you come with?"
Mrs. Cui secretly felt that something was wrong but refused to say anything.
Madam Xie saw that something was not right and looked away, not intending to get involved in this mess.
Madam He sneered and looked at the maid behind her: "Go and check who this Madam Cui came with?"
Actually, there is no need to check.
You can tell by looking at the position where Mrs. Cui is standing.
However, now that so many people are watching, we have to be more careful to avoid any misunderstandings.
Soon, the maid came and replied: "Madam, this lady came with Madam Xie from the Xie Mansion."
Madam He looked over coldly, and Madam Xie blushed with embarrassment. She smiled awkwardly and said, "It was Madam Cui who wanted to come and share in the good fortune, so I brought her here."
"Humph, when did the threshold for banquets at my He Mansion become so low? Anyone can come if they want to? Madam Xie, right? I might as well tell you that we can invite you to this banquet only because you are my daughter-in-law. But you brought others with you. Since you didn't respect my He Mansion first, I don't have to care about your face. You two, you'd better go out. My He Mansion doesn't welcome you!"
Mrs. He's words surprised both Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Cui.
They really didn't expect that Mrs. He would be so angry.
In fact, even if it is a high-level banquet, it is no big deal to bring someone in.
Generally speaking, the host will not take it too seriously and will not pursue anything.
It was for this reason that Mrs. Xie brought Mrs. Cui in.
But she really didn't expect that such a change would happen.
When Mrs. Xie thought about how many people were watching them, she wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into!
Lose your face!
It's so embarrassing!
Mrs. Cui felt the same way.
She has an unmarried daughter at home.
Now she was being driven out in disgrace in front of these noble ladies, losing such a huge amount of face for nothing. If her daughter wanted to marry into a rich family in the future, wouldn't it be even more difficult?
Right now, these noble ladies are watching.
Madam Cui suddenly had an idea and said, "Madam He, you may not know that the new number one scholar Luo Jinyu is actually from our Cui family."
