Not to mention Lu Zhenzhen, even the three grandmothers of the Lan family who followed behind couldn't help laughing.

Zhao was extremely embarrassed. Seeing Lu Zhenzhen and Sun just trying to hold back their laughter and not saying anything to help, she couldn't help but feel resentful in her heart.

Back when she was in the Prince of Shu's Mansion, for the sake of the Marquis's Mansion's reputation, even though she had a bad relationship with the Fourth Old Family, she was still protected when facing outsiders.

It's my turn today. Are the fourth and third families planning to just stand by and watch?

He snorted coldly and turned to look at Liu Sisi. Liu Sisi still looked aggrieved, as if waiting for him to make the decision for her.

He was even more unhappy and felt a little resentful towards Liu Sisi.

Cousin Liu Sisi shouldn't have been brought to such an occasion. It was because she always said that she never had the opportunity to attend any banquets outside while in the Liu family.

After being brought back to the capital, it was not easy to go out.

She really wanted to experience such an occasion.

Besides, Lu Zhenzhen is a member of the Ningping Marquis Mansion after all, and she now lives in the mansion. If she doesn't come to such a happy event, wouldn't it seem disrespectful?

It would be fine if I just talked about her at that time, but what if I talk about Zhao, the sister-in-law who doesn't know the rules?

Zhao felt very distressed at that time.

Come to think of it, it's okay for other families, but with the relationship between the Marquis' Mansion and the Lan family, bringing in a girl from a relative's family is no big deal.

He just reported to Jin and brought her out.

At that time, Jin also told her to think it over carefully.

She felt that she had thought it through.

At this moment, she regretted it!

I shouldn’t have brought Liu Sisi to the party.

Isn’t it enough to see the world in the Marquis’ Mansion?

Now she was in a dilemma. She knew that Liu Sisi and she were in the wrong, but she couldn't swallow her pride and apologize to the girls.

Therefore, she just winked at Liu Sisi, asking her to quickly apologize to the girls of the same age present. She then said a few soft words and the matter was settled.

But her eyes were almost cramping, and Liu Sisi just looked at her timidly and dependently, completely unable to understand what she meant.

It was the first time that Zhao realized that her cousin Liu Sisi was so unable to read other people's expressions.

Weren’t you very smart in the mansion before?

Why are you staring blankly when you come out?

After all, he grew up in a small place. He looks okay on ordinary days, but his true colors show when big things happen.

This thought flashed through Zhao's mind, but was quickly suppressed.

Lu Zhenzhen sneered and took two steps forward. "My dear fairies, this Miss Liu is the cousin of our Third Madam's family. She is staying at the Marquis' Mansion for a few days. The Liu family has raised her with great care and is timid. If she has said something wrong and offended the fairies, please forgive her this time, okay?"

A few words of "little fairy" made the little girls blush and feel happy.

The girl who had just argued with Zhao blinked and cleared her throat: "Well, for my sister's sake, let's just forget about it!"

After saying that, the little girls pushed each other and laughed.

Lu Zhenzhen also smiled and said, "Thank you all, fairies! After all, there are too many people here and it's too noisy. It's not suitable for a few fairies. Please allow me to apologize and invite you fairies to the backyard for another meal. There is no need to rush to leave after the meal. There are some new things prepared in the back, and please enjoy them, little fairies--"

Lu Zhenzhen is the protagonist today. She spoke so kindly, jokingly called them fairies, and took the initiative to apologize.

This made the little girls, who were usually treated like children at home, feel that they were being respected rarely.

Everyone blushed and nodded vigorously.

Grandma Lan came over and hurriedly asked someone to take all the girls at the table, except Liu Sisi, to the back and let her eldest daughter Xianjieer entertain them.

Only Liu Sisi was left standing next to Zhao, her face pale as if she had been slapped in public.

A pair of hands unconsciously grasped Zhao's arm tightly.

Zhao felt so much pain that she almost cried out.

He quickly pulled his arm out and was about to blame Liu Sisi.

Looking at her pale and bloodless face, he sighed and held back what he was about to say.

Then he beckoned to his maid: "Jinzhu, my cousin is not feeling well. Please take her back to the mansion first."

Liu Sisi didn't expect that Zhao not only didn't speak up for her at this time, but also wanted to send her back to the Marquis' Mansion.

Looking at Zhao shakily, tears soon filled his eyes.

Grandma Lan frowned. "This girl does look frail. Look at her face, it's pale. It's better for her to see a doctor soon. Is there something wrong with her?"

After saying this, he asked someone to send Liu Sisi and Jinzhu out together.

Before Liu Sisi could say anything, she was swept out of the Lan Mansion like a gust of wind.

When she came to her senses, she was already sitting in the carriage heading back to the Marquis' Mansion.

Liu Sisi was still unwilling to give up, so she lifted the curtain and looked over. She didn't know if she was dazzled, but she saw someone sticking his head out of the carriage parked next to the side door of the Lan Mansion and looking into the mansion.

But the carriage left very quickly, and when she looked again, she could see nothing.

Inside the Lan Mansion.

Fu Zhiyi followed Minister Lan and met Eunuch Dai Jinzhong, who personally poured him a glass of wine.

After a few words, they came out.

Then he saw Daman nodded at him in the corner.

Fu Zhiyi felt relieved and accompanied Minister Lan to entertain the guests.

When they arrived at the table of Ningping Marquis, Minister Lan clinked his glasses with the old Marquis, "Old Marquis, we are now even closer relatives. My only daughter is marrying into your family, so you will have to bear with me in the future--"

The old marquis smiled unchanged: "Nephew, why are you so polite! Before Yi Ge'er's daughter was adopted by you, I was also very satisfied with her. If you don't believe me, ask Yi Ge'er, right?"

Fu Zhiyi silently filled a glass of wine for each of them, then decisively stepped aside to avoid being accidentally injured by the invisible sword lights and shadows.

Minister Lan smiled and said, "My daughter is extremely filial and sensible. Even if she does something wrong in the future, it will definitely not be intentional. I hope you will bear with her. If she is wrong, let her mother-in-law teach her more! If there is any problem between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, just come to me, her father and eldest brother! I will never refuse!"

The smile on the old marquis's face froze.

Listen to what you are saying. One is your sister and the other is your adopted daughter. Just say it directly and you will not allow the girls of your Lan family to be bullied!

Why beat around the bush?

He was still polite, "Why do you say that, nephew? Our two families are so close, so I naturally treat them as my own daughters and granddaughters. Nephew, do you still not believe us, uncle?"

Minister Lan raised another glass of wine and said meaningfully, "I feel relieved to hear your words, uncle—"

The old marquis' face twitched and he drank the glass of wine.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

One turned his head and pursed his lips, while the other sat down and frowned.
