Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy

At Jiang Mansion, a lotus viewing banquet.

The Xie family arrived unexpectedly, and Xie Qingyao even called out to Old Madam Jiang and Jiang Muxue in public, being very affectionate!

No one knew what was going on, but Old Madam Jiang and Jiang Muxue felt provoked. However, it was not appropriate to lose their temper in today's situation, so they walked quickly past the Xie family with sullen faces.

Jiang Muxue helped Madam Jiang take a seat at the head of the table. The table occupied by the Xie family had originally belonged to her and Xie Qingli. She and Madam Jiang exchanged a quick glance. Madam Jiang gently patted Jiang Muxue's hand in a gesture of comfort, and then ordered the maid to call the eldest lady over.

The eldest lady already knew what Tan Ruyan had done. She was so angry that she was fuming. What a daughter-in-law who was more of a hindrance than a help!

Hearing that Old Madam Jiang had called, the eldest lady quickly stood up and walked quickly to Old Madam Jiang's side. She took Jiang Muxue's hand and laughed loudly, "Mother, don't be reluctant to let Xue'er go. You can rest assured to leave her to your daughter-in-law. I promise to take good care of her!"

Old Madam Jiang just nodded slightly with an indifferent expression.

The eldest lady's heart skipped a beat. This was bad! She was in charge of welcoming the guests today. Her mother-in-law must have thought that she had arranged for the Xie family to come in. But she couldn't explain it. Yan'er was her daughter-in-law. It was her fault that Yan'er was not sensible.

The eldest lady was very depressed and had no choice but to pull Jiang Muxue to sit at her desk.

Madam Jiang cleared her throat, and everyone fell silent. They all looked up at her, waiting for her to speak.

Madam Jiang tried her best to ignore the Xie family members who had upset her. She laughed out loud and said, "Today, my house is hosting a lotus viewing banquet. I invite all the ladies to come. Actually, I have a happy announcement..."

Suddenly, a little maid stumbled in, and everyone's attention was immediately drawn to her. Old Madam Jiang also stopped talking and looked at the little maid with great displeasure. Today's banquet had so many complications, which was probably not a good sign!

The little maid ran hurriedly to the old lady in the Jiang Mansion and whispered a few words to her. Old Lady Jiang opened her eyes wide in surprise.

However, she immediately adjusted her mood and said to everyone with a smile: "Please wait a moment, a distinguished guest has arrived, and I will go to greet him!" After that, she quickly stood up with the help of her maid and walked out quickly. The other people in the Jiang family also followed her out.

All the guests were eager to see what kind of distinguished person it was that required Madam Jiang to personally greet him.

After a moment, everyone had the answer.

Old Madam Jiang approached with a young man, the rest of the Jiang family members following closely behind. The man, dressed in black, was incredibly handsome, his every move exuding a natural nobility. However, as he spoke to Old Madam Jiang, he displayed a touch of humility, the two of them looking like a pair of grandparents and grandchildren.

Someone exclaimed, "That's the prince!"

Her voice was quite loud and everyone heard it clearly. They were all extremely surprised. It was rumored that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in poor health and had mediocre abilities, so he did not like to attend any banquets and rarely even appeared at royal palace banquets.

Therefore, people often see the other princes, but only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who they do not recognize when they see him face to face. But the person before them is extraordinary and has a noble appearance. It seems that the rumors cannot be fully believed!

The girls at the banquet blushed and secretly looked at Chu Yuncang, their shyness concealing a hint of affection within them. This included Xie Qingyao and Xie Qingqi.

However, Xie Qingqi only dared to steal a few glances, as she knew that her status was far different from that of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and there was no possibility of that happening in this life.

But Xie Qingyao was mesmerized. She stared straight at Chu Yuncang who was coming towards her gracefully, with joy dancing in her eyes. She had originally aspired to be the queen of Dongling, and the fact that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was so handsome and outstanding made her ecstatic!

As she thought about it, Xie Qingyao actually stood up straight and wanted to go forward to greet Chu Yuncang. Fortunately, Madam Xie was quick to grab Xie Qingyao. The slightest disrespect to the royal family was a capital crime. What was this idiot doing?

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. May Your Highness live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years!"

Chu Yuncang had already approached, and everyone knelt down to greet him. Old Madam Jiang and Jiang Muxue were about to kneel down as well, but Chu Yuncang supported them both with one hand each and said gently, "Everyone, please stand up!" Everyone thanked him and stood up.

Two tables were placed side by side at the top, and Chu Yuncang and Old Madam Jiang took their seats. Chu Yuncang was the first to speak, "I haven't been invited to come again today, I hope Old Madam won't mind!"

"Aunt Jiang is my mother's best friend. If my mother were still alive, she would definitely come to the Jiang family's happy event today. Therefore, I am here to express my gratitude on her behalf!"

Madam Jiang smiled and said, "Your Highness's filial piety towards the late Empress is evident throughout the world! Your Highness's arrival today is a great honor to the Jiang family, and I welcome you with open arms!"

Although she said this, her heart was beating fast. Queen Yao had passed away for more than ten years, and she had never seen the prince get close to the Jiang family in the past. Not knowing what had happened today, Old Madam Jiang became more and more uneasy!

The prince also came for the happy event of Jiang Mansion!!!

Everyone was even more curious about what the happy event was, and they all stretched their necks, waiting for Mrs. Jiang's next words.

Madam Jiang's mood was somewhat heavy, completely different from when she had just made the announcement. She said calmly, "It's actually not a big deal. Some people may have heard that I have found my long-lost granddaughter!"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked around, wanting to see what Madam Jiang's granddaughter looked like, but only the two girls from the Xie family were unfamiliar faces. Could it be one of them?

Mrs. Yu, from the Yu family, the Minister of War, was impatient. She couldn't hold back and asked directly, "Madam, which of these two is your granddaughter?"

Madam Jiang shook her head slightly. She pointed to the corridor facing the banquet hall and said with a smile, "Look, that's my granddaughter, Xie Qingli!"

Everyone turned to look at the lake, where they saw a girl of about twelve or thirteen strolling gracefully along the winding corridor. She was dressed in a long, flowing pink dress with scattered flowers and green leaves, and a soft white jasmine gauze. Her figure was slender and graceful, and she walked lightly among the lotus leaves, looking like a lotus fairy descended to earth!

Everyone held their breath, waiting for the girl to come closer, just to see her true face.

The girl's face became clearer and clearer. Her complexion was as white as jade, her skin was as white as snow, her hair was as black as ink, and her eyes were as clear as gems. She was pure and elegant, like a drop of morning dew on a lotus leaf, crystal clear, bright and dazzling.

Someone exclaimed, and everyone immediately started talking.

Chu Yuncang said nothing, his eyes following Xie Qingli closely. His Li'er, dressed up, was surprisingly breathtakingly beautiful! He looked around and was lucky that the party was filled with women. Otherwise, if other men saw Li'er like this, he would have gouged their eyes out!

He felt a little secretly happy in his heart. Fortunately, he had come here with a thick skin, otherwise, how could he see such a beautiful Li'er! However, he almost couldn't suppress the corners of his mouth that turned up. When Madam Jiang looked over, he covered his lips with his hand and coughed a few times to hide the smile.

The Xie family members all had gloomy expressions and looked out of place among the others.

Old Madam Xie was apprehensive. She had assumed the Jiang family was simply hosting a flower-viewing banquet, but she hadn't expected it to be for Xie Qingli. She couldn't understand why the Jiang family would honor a country girl so highly! Even worse, what if the Jiang family used this banquet to clarify Xie Qingli and Xie Qingyao's past lives?

Xie Qingqi felt envious, jealous and resentful. After today's banquet, Xie Qingli would surely become famous in Shengjing City. Even if Xie Qingyao's identity as a fake daughter was exposed, she, Xie Qingqi, would still be surpassed by Xie Qingli.

Xie Qingyao was jealous to the point of being twisted. Such a luxurious banquet, such a grand appearance, if Xie Qingli was not there, all this glory should have been hers!

Madam Yu praised Xie Qingli for a few words, and suddenly asked Madam Jiang, "Madam, why is your granddaughter wandering around?"

She asked the question on everyone's mind, and everyone stopped talking and looked at Old Madam Jiang...
