After rebirth, the daughter of the marquisate went crazy

In Chunhui Hall, the old lady got up early.

Zhou replied respectfully, "Mother, everything is ready. Today is your birthday, so don't worry too much. Just be happy. Your daughter-in-law will take care of everything."

Zhou said flatteringly that the power of the Marquis' Mansion had always been in the hands of the old lady. The old lady was wary of illegitimate children, especially the second master's family. When the Marquis's wife Gu was still alive, the power of the family was in her hands. Since her death, the power of the family fell into the hands of the old lady. Zhou flattered and obeyed the old lady, naturally wanting to hold the power of the family in her own hands. After all, the old lady was old and had limited energy, and she hated the second house. Their third house had the best chance.

"Well, Third Old Wife, please be extra careful at today's birthday banquet. Don't neglect the distinguished guests. This is related to the reputation of our mansion."

"My daughter-in-law understands and will definitely make this birthday banquet a grand occasion."

Zhou paused, then spoke hesitantly, "Mother, then, what about Ye Qingyu? After all, she's the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's family and the granddaughter of the Zhenguo Duke's family. Wouldn't it be bad to not let her attend the birthday banquet?"

The old lady's originally cheerful face suddenly darkened. "Has she made a mistake these days?"

Zhou shook her head, a shrewd look in her eyes, "Just stay quietly in Wanyan Pavilion."

The old lady put down her chopsticks and frowned, "She didn't make a fuss?"

These days, she specifically instructed the head kitchen that Ye Qingyu's three meals a day did not need to be elaborate. The head kitchen naturally understood what the old lady meant. She must have been very sad these days. With her recent somewhat arrogant temper, how could she be so patient?

"Yes, except for the first day when Ye Qingya and Qianqian went there, the Wanyan Pavilion was always quiet."

Zhou also found it strange that Ye Qingyu could actually endure her temper and quarrel with the old lady, and even refused to attend the birthday banquet. If the guests found out, what would they say about her? How big a mistake must she have made? She was not allowed to attend such a respectable occasion. Wasn't she afraid of her reputation being ruined?

"Hmph, she's capable! I'd love for her to participate. I'd be glad if she didn't shorten my lifespan!"

When the old lady thought about how her originally well-planned plan was about to be realized, but was disrupted by Ye Qingyu, she wanted to kill this little bitch! As expected of being born to the Gu family, she never made her feel comfortable.

Seeing that the old lady was already angry, Zhou hurriedly smiled and said kind words to appease her.

The sun rises, the sky is clear and cloudless, and the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion is particularly lively today.

The old lady of the Qingyuan Marquis's Mansion celebrated her sixtieth birthday with great fanfare, and invitations were sent to everyone who could be invited.

At the main gate, Lord Ye, the Second Master, the Second Madam, the Third Master, and Ye Yanzhi were all standing there with smiles on their faces to welcome the guests.

Shen Ming repaired the carriage, and Lord Ye came up with everyone, smiling.

"Your Highness, the Fourth Prince, is well and thank you for visiting us."

Shen Mingxiu smiled kindly, his smile warming everyone's heart like a gentle spring breeze. "My Lord, that's not true. I have a schoolmateship with Brother Ye, and my Lord Ye is my respected elder. It's only natural that I would like to ask for a drink on the old lady's birthday."

Lord Ye's old face flushed slightly with excitement at Shen Mingxiu's praise.

"Your Highness's presence at the Bi Mansion truly brings honor to our humble abode. I will accompany you inside."

Shen Mingxiu smiled and waved his hand, "My Lord, please be busy first. Brother Ye will accompany me."

"That's fine, Yanzhi, you must accompany His Highness well."

"Yes, Your Highness, please come in." Ye Yanzhi took Shen Mingxiu towards the banquet room.

The banquet hall was already full of guests. When the guests saw Shen Mingxiu coming in, they all stood up and greeted him.

Old Madam Ye, supported by Lu Qianqian, bowed to Shen Mingxiu.

"No need to be so polite, old lady. Today is your birthday, and I am here to share in your blessings."

Shen Mingxiu smiled kindly and gently, glanced at Lu Qianqian vaguely, and a different emotion flashed in his eyes.

When Lu Qianqian saw Shen Mingxiu again, she was so excited that her hands were shaking.

This is a prince, and he may inherit the throne in the future. Even if he cannot ascend to that position, he is still a prince. It would be great if she could be his concubine.

Shen Mingxiu also saw the excitement and admiration in Lu Qianqian's eyes. The little face that moved him was full of shy blush.

He asked knowingly, "This young lady looks unfamiliar? Whose daughter is she?"

When the old lady saw him asking about Lu Qianqian, her smile widened. "This is my niece from my mother's family. She's here to celebrate my birthday. Qianqian, why don't you hurry up and pay your respects to the Fourth Prince?"

Lu Qianqian's face flushed, her eyes watering, and she stepped forward to salute in a sweet voice, "My humble daughter, Lu Qianqian, greets His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince."

Shen Mingxiu looked down at her, his expression dazed for a moment, and his voice fluctuated slightly as he spoke, "Ms. Lu, please stand up. There's no need to be so polite."

"Oh, His Highness is here too."

A nonchalant voice sounded beside his ears. Shen Mingxiu turned around and saw a crooked person sitting in the seat next to him. When he saw who it was, a hint of subtle disgust flashed in his eyes. "Oh, it's Prince Kang. I didn't expect to see the Prince here."

"Isn't it true that Tianxianglou is closed today? I happened to be passing by here and saw it was quite lively, so I came in to have some fun. I heard it was the old lady's birthday, and Your Highness, are you here to celebrate?"

Shen Mingxiu smiled gently and politely, "Of course, since Prince Kang is here, let's have fun."

Prince Kang had a wicked smile on his face and spoke frivolously, looking like a dandy. "Of course, Your Highness, please come to our table and let's have a good chat."

"Of course, wait a moment." Shen Mingxiu responded good-temperedly.

Everyone around him thought that the Fourth Prince was truly a gentleman. He could even treat a dandy and corrupt person like Prince Kang with courtesy.

Prince Kang is a man that everyone avoids. Although Shen Junchen is the little devil of Kyoto, who leads a group of playboys to stir up trouble and fight everywhere, he has never caused any trouble. He is just young and impulsive, and he will pay compensation if he smashes someone's stall. If he hits someone, he will honestly provide medical treatment and money.

But this Prince Kang is different. His behavior is despicable. He is a villain who has raped women and taken people's lives. If it weren't for the title of Prince, his father would have died many times if he had not made great contributions to Daqing.

Shen Mingxiu glanced around, but didn't see Ye Qingyu. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, "Why don't I see Miss Ye?"
