Chapter 147

Almost all the guests at the legitimate son's banquet have arrived.

Men and women have separate banquets. The men's seats are in the outer room, and the women's seats are in the inner room, with a verandah in between.

Guests on both sides were chatting enthusiastically about the same topic.

"Have you heard? Today's legitimate son's banquet has a great background."

"Why does he have such a strong background? Isn't it just because the legitimate son has died, and one of the sons named in the concubine's name is to be chosen as the legitimate son?"

"No, no, no, it's wrong! You are all wrong!"

"I've heard about it too. It seems that it's either my concubine's son or Mrs. Shi Er's own son. One concubine was so bold that she exchanged the identities of the two children!"

"Yes, yes, I also heard that this is the real legitimate son! The one who died is the bastard!"

"Oh my god, is it true? Is the back house of the Hou Mansion so messy?"

"Who knows? The old lady in the Hou Mansion is from a small family. She didn't see anyone just now. She said she went out to worship Buddha. Is it such a coincidence? How strange!"

Although it was the same topic, the reactions of the guests on both sides were different.

The gentlemen on the male guest's side just suddenly realized that this was the case.

After all, these gentlemen all have many sons. While direct descendants are important, they are not particularly important.

As long as the bloodline is not confused, it is actually acceptable.

But the female guest was in trouble.

Which matron allows concubines to exchange children!

Which one is not indignant?

Then someone thought, "No wonder the funeral ceremony in the Hou Mansion was so sloppy!"

Some people didn't know about this and asked, "Why is it so scrawled?"

"I don't know the specifics. Originally, my father asked me to come and pay homage because the previous generation of the Duke of the Hou Mansion had taken care of the family. But when I came, I was told that the altar had been removed and the funeral It seems that the ceremony only took place for two or three days."

"The servants in their family were all wearing red and green at that time. I was quite puzzled when I looked at them."

When everyone was talking, Mrs. Wei finally understood the real reason why the eldest daughter of the Shi family was willing to help.

It turns out that the bad guy is not the eldest lady’s biological brother at all!

Even so, she was filled with gratitude.

At this time, Wei Cailing took her sister to the backyard to help Shi Anxia.

Shi Anxia looked at several people arriving in costumes and hurriedly greeted them.

"Why didn't the maids arrange for you to sit down?" Shi Anxia asked.

Wei Cailing shook his head, "No, no, we came here on our own. It's not suitable for us to sit there. My brother said he would come to help you and went to patrol with your house guards."

Shi Anxia smiled, "Thank you brother. We are really short of manpower today."

"Then what else do you need me to do?" Wei Cailing was afraid that she wouldn't be able to help.

"Me, me, me! And me," Xiao Pingting danced high, afraid that Shi Anxia wouldn't be able to see her.

Shi Anxia smiled and touched the soft hair on her head, and thought for a while, "I really need you two sisters to help me."

With that said, Hong Que led the two sisters to Haitang Courtyard.

All the gifts given by the visitors were received in Tang Chujun's house, and they had not yet been registered.

It was just right for Wei Cailing to do this.

After Tang Chujun learned about Shi Anxia's arrangement, he looked confused, "I'm not in a hurry to get the registration gift, so why let an outsider get involved?"

Shi Anxia blinked, "What if Miss Wei is not an outsider? I just want to familiarize her with the general affairs of the Hou Mansion in advance, so that I can share my mother's worries in the future."
