Full level Black Heart Lotus, reborn to bully scumbags every day!

Shen Shuyi stood there until he saw Shen Jinglin's back disappear, then he walked back with Yuping and Jinzhu.

When Prince Duan holds a banquet, the guests who come are bound to be prominent people and it is a very lively occasion.

In this case, the muddier the water is, the better.

I just don’t know if Xiao Tingshan will show up?

After returning to Yunshu Garden, the servants in the mansion soon delivered clothes and jewelry. Nanny Wang held the tray and said with a smile, "Madam was worried that some of them would not fit, so she specifically asked me to let the second young lady try them on, so that there is still time to make alterations."

"Thank you for your concern, mother. There's no need to go through so much trouble." Shen Shuyi said with a smile.

Nanny Wang said, "Second Miss, you don't know that in Prince Duan's mansion, besides the senior officials of the court, there are also many royal relatives, and even the princesses and county ladies may have seen it, so there must be no mistakes."

"The Second Miss has not attended a banquet in the capital for many years, so Madam naturally attaches great importance to it. You should give it a try."

Hearing this, Shen Shuyi no longer refused.

Qin Xuerong sent her a lavender skirt, which was fresh and elegant in color, neither soft nor tacky. The lining was embroidered with pink peonies, and the outer layer was made of satin purple of the same color. It was made of the finest brocade in Beijing. The slightest movement of it would reflect intoxicating light, which was simple and grand yet indescribably gorgeous.

Nanny Wang looked at Yuping and Jinzhu helping Shen Shuyi change her clothes, her eyes full of amazement.

I felt that Shen Shuyi had become much more beautiful in just a few days since she returned home.

The paleness from earlier was still there, but there was more flesh on the sides of the cheeks, and the body seemed to be taller. The sickly dullness and yellowness had faded, and the snow-white skin was translucent and clear, like a piece of jade without the slightest flaw.

The lavender dress she wore only made her look like a lotus emerging from the water or a moonlit nightshade under the moon. Coupled with her cold and lonely eyes, she looked like a person as pure as jade, calm and composed, with a kind of cold and aloof aura that made people unable to take their eyes away.

"What do you think, Ma?" Shen Shuyi asked in a gentle voice.

Nanny Wang came back to her senses and said immediately, "The Second Miss is very pretty, of course."

"Madam has prepared a set of headgear for you, the old lady gave you a bracelet, the second wife sent some perfumed powder and ointment, and Aunt Wu sent someone to prepare a sachet and a handkerchief. Please take a look and see if you like them."

Nanny Wang spoke again, introducing in a gentle voice.

Shen Shuyi's eyes fell on the tray in the maid's hands. It was undeniable that they were all good things.

The Shen family has to save face, and Qin Xuerong has to save face even more. Even if they have other plans, they will not give others something to talk about in front of everyone.

Therefore, no matter whether she is a legitimate daughter or a concubine's daughter, she must be treated with extreme care, otherwise it would be foolish to be known as a person who mistreats her children.

Qin Xuerong naturally understood this logic, but she was tricked as soon as Shen Shuyi returned home. Now she was naturally afraid that she would use the same trick again and ruin her reputation.

"Other things have a fixed number, but the rouge, powder, sachets and handkerchiefs have different scents and styles. The eldest lady is not in the house now, so according to the rules, the second lady can choose first." Nanny Wang said with a smile.

Shen Shuyi's eyes fell on the trays held by the other two maids. One maid's tray was filled with various popular rouge and powders with unique shapes and different colors and styles.

Another maid was holding a tray filled with neatly arranged sachets and handkerchiefs. Each one was the same color, the main difference being the smell.

"Mrs. Wu is an excellent embroiderer. The patterns on the sachets and handkerchiefs reflect the scents of the spices inside. Of course, the spices are all blended. Miss, you can smell them."

For rouge and powder, Shen Shuyi picked out some with light colors, and after smelling them, she chose the ones with lotus embroidered on them for the sachet and handkerchief.

Nanny Wang said in a gentle voice: "If the Second Miss has made her choice, I will deliver the gifts to the other ladies."

"Madame Wang, please."

Yuping escorted the person out of Yunshu Garden, while Shen Shuyi picked up the things Qin Xuerong had given him and looked at them.

A hairpin made of red gold and inlaid with rubies, two gold hairpins with peony and cloud patterns from the same set, and a pair of gold earrings inlaid with crushed rubies. They were not particularly gorgeous, but were just right for a legitimate daughter of the Shangshu Mansion.

Shen Shuyi checked it and found that the workmanship was fine and there was no problem with it.

She also picked up the jade bracelet given by Old Madam Shen. It had a hint of red in the clear green, and the color was good. The jade was clear and moist, and it was also a fine product of good quality.

In addition, Zhang from the second house sent rouge and perfume, but Shen Shuyi had no intention of using them, so she did not check them carefully.

Finally, there was an embroidered handkerchief and a sachet given by Aunt Wu. The embroidered handkerchief was made of fine yarn, light pink, with lotus flowers embroidered on it, and had a faint and cold fragrance. The sachet was the same color, but the fabric was a little thicker, but the stitches were fine and the embroidery was exquisite, and it was obvious that a lot of thought had gone into it.

Shen Shuyi picked up the sachet and could smell a faint cool scent mixed with the elegant fragrance. It was not obvious at first, but she had studied pharmacology in her previous life and had dealt with many herbs, so she was particularly sensitive to it.

Shen Shuyi sat at the table, playing with the sachet for a while, but still couldn't figure out what the fragrance was.

Somewhat familiar, but not right...

She was not an expert in making incense and was not sure if there was anything wrong with the spice, but she had smelled several sachets just now and almost every one of them had this scent.

"Miss, is there anything wrong with this sachet?" Jinzhu couldn't help but ask.

Shen Shu measured it for a moment, poured some of the spices out on a piece of paper, handed it to Jin Zhu and said, "Ask Jin Peng to go out at night and find a doctor to identify the spices in it."

"Yes." Jinzhu took it and left in a hurry.

Shen Shuyi's eyes were deep, still thinking about the sachet.

Aunt Wu has always been favored in the mansion and is even quite capable. Not only did she give birth to a son and a daughter safely under Qin Xuerong's nose, she also made Qin Xuerong lose face several times.

It is precisely because she has some say in the mansion, and her two children will also go to Prince Duan's Mansion this time, so Aunt Wu's gift seems reasonable and sensible.

Her choice of a sachet and an embroidered handkerchief was also very appropriate. They were suitable for her status as an aunt, not too expensive, but thoughtful and sincere.

Shen Shuyi lowered his eyes and thought silently.

She and Aunt Wu had no grudges in the past or present, and Aunt Wu would not be stupid enough to attack her. Moreover, Aunt Wu would not be unaware of her fights with Qin Xuerong in recent days.

So strictly speaking, they have the same enemy.

Therefore, the most likely scenario is that Qin Xuerong kills two birds with one stone, sowing discord between them and getting rid of her through Aunt Wu.

In order to wait for news from Jin Peng, Shen Shuyi went to bed late.

But the result disappointed her. Jinzhu whispered, "My brother asked two doctors and the owner of a spice shop to check it out, but they didn't find any problems."
