The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife
Chapter 14 Birthday Banquet
Our master is preparing for the birthday banquet for Marquis Wucheng, and the Jiang family is also busy, after all, it is Xie Lan's maiden family.
Xie Lan had not been seen for several days, and it was difficult for Jiang Li to learn how to manage the shop from her. On the day before the birthday party, Xie Lan had someone send the dresses to be worn for the birthday party. Jiang Li was moved again when she saw the things her mother sent. As the only daughter of the Jiang and Xie families, she always used the best, and her clothes and jewelry storeroom was full.
"Miss, please try them on! These colors are more suitable for you!" Chuntao pointed at the clothes on the table.
"No need to try it on. The clothes my mother made will definitely fit. Let's choose the red one tomorrow. It's festive. Grandpa will be happy to see it!"
Chuntao nodded and put the rest into the closet, and also prepared the accessories to match the dress in advance.
The next day, Jiang Li woke up to Chuntao's mumbling.
"Miss, hurry up, you'll be late!"
"Good Chuntao, let your young lady take a nap for a while!"
"No, my dear lady, the madam is already waiting!" Chuntao helped Jiang Li up from the bed.
Xia He helped Jiang Li put on the red dress and cleaned her face and put on makeup. It took a while to finish all this.
"Miss, Madam has told you to go to the main courtyard for breakfast. The master, the mistress and the two young masters are all waiting!" Jiang Li nodded and walked out to the main courtyard.
"Good morning, father, mother, eldest brother, and third brother!"
"It's already late. I guessed that you couldn't get up." The third brother covered his lips and chuckled. After he said this, three sharp eyes flashed over, and Jiang Bu immediately lowered his head and shut up.
"It's okay, Li'er, there's still time. Sit down and have your meal!" Master Jiang turned his head and spoke softly, picking up some of Jiang Li's favorite dumplings.
"Well, thank you, Dad."
After breakfast, the family of five went out together and headed towards Wuchenghou Mansion. The Taifu Mansion was two streets away from Wuchenghou Mansion, and they arrived there in less than a quarter of an hour.
At this time, there were already many people at the gate of Wuchenghou Mansion who came to celebrate the birthday. Xie Ci, who was standing at the gate to welcome the guests, saw the Jiang family's carriage approaching quickly from afar.
"Aunt and uncle, eldest cousin and third cousin, you are here. Where is sister Li'er?" Xie Ci looked at the carriage behind.
Sure enough, when the curtain of the third carriage was opened, Xie Ci saw Jiang Li wearing a bright red skirt, with a pretty face and red lips, which made Xie Ci feel warm in his heart.
"Sister Li'er, you're here." Xie Ci walked over quickly to greet her.
Chuntao helped Jiang Li get off the carriage.
"Cousin." Jiang Li greeted Xie Ci.
Xie Ci felt a little awkward looking at the lively Jiang Li. In the past, Li'er always wore white clothes and looked weak. He remembered that when she was a child, Li'er was lively and cheerful, smiling all day long.
Ever since she came back from an accident when she was nine years old, she has become delicate and frail. Later, I learned that the Third Prince liked frail women, and it turned out that Li'er's sister fell in love with the Third Prince.
Today, Li'er has an indescribable feeling, as if the little Li'er has returned! Xie Ci feels extremely happy.
"Aunt, uncle, cousin, cousin, and sister Li'er, let's go in! Grandma has been waiting for a long time!" Xie Ci led the Jiang family of five in.
The main courtyard of Wuchenghou was full of laughter. Master Jiang took his two sons to the front courtyard, while Xie Lan took Jiang Li to the back courtyard. As soon as they entered the main house, they saw a kind-looking old lady sitting in the main seat.
"Mother. Lan'er brings Li'er to see you." Xie Lan took Jiang Li's hand and prepared to pay his respects in front of Old Madam Xie.
"Li'er, come quickly and let grandma take a good look at you." Old Madam Xie waved at Jiang Li.
"Mother, you only have Li'er in your eyes. Don't you even want your daughter?" Xie Lan said with a smile!
Jiang Li hurried forward to greet the old lady and called out, "Grandma, Li'er misses you!"
"Look, you're so old and you're still jealous of your daughter!" said the old lady as she hugged Jiang Li in her arms.
"Is Li'er feeling better recently? I heard from your aunt that you were sick a few days ago!" the old lady asked with a worried look on her face.
When Jiang Li heard this, she remembered what happened a few days ago. Because the Third Prince rejected her in Taohuaxuan, she became sick out of sadness. It was also at that time that she was reborn from her previous life.
The grandmother probably didn't dare to ask about the third prince, and only asked about her health. At this moment, she felt sorry for her relatives and made them worry.
As soon as the old lady spoke, the three aunts sitting next to her also looked over here. Jiang Li felt guilty seeing so many people in the Xie family worried about her. In the past few years, she had been chasing after the third prince and had done some outrageous things, which had brought shame to the Jiang and Xie families. But the two families had never mentioned it in front of her.
Jiang Li looked at everyone. There was no one else in the room except her, her mother Xie Lan, her grandmother and three aunts. She once again told her grandmother that she had decided to give up the third prince.
"Grandmother, three aunts, Li'er made you worry. Li'er was wrong. Li'er has decided to give up. What doesn't belong to you will never be yours no matter how hard you try. Besides, I'm the granddaughter of the Marquis of Wucheng and the legitimate daughter of the Grand Tutor's Mansion. There are all kinds of good men. Why do you have to hang yourself on a tree? Humph... Don't you think so, grandma?" Jiang Li raised her head with some pride after she finished speaking.
The old lady was a little surprised after hearing Jiang Li's words, but she reacted instantly and slapped the table.
"Yes, well said. You are worthy of being the daughter of the Xie family!"
The three aunts also looked at each other, their eyes filled with smiles.
"Okay, okay. Our Li'er has grown up. Mother, let's go to the front yard to greet the guests first, and you and your sister can talk to Li'er later." Wang Lihua, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Xie family, led her two younger sisters-in-law out to greet the guests.
They didn't know at this moment that an unexpected guest had come to the front yard...
