Zhenfubao waved his hand and the warehouse was full of grain, and the whole family regretted it

Bai Yin and Madam Bai stood up and walked out. Bai Yin returned to Bai Qiao Niang, who smiled and said, "Mom and Dad, you haven't eaten yet, right? I was thinking of sending you some dishes."

Baiyin sat down and said, "I'm so angry that I can't eat at all."

Bai Qiaoniang asked, "What's going on?"

Mrs. Bai recounted the entire story from the beginning. Bai Qiaoniang said, "It seems Zhao Qiaolan's husband isn't that great after all! I always thought she lived a life of luxury!"

Mrs. Bai sighed and said, "I think she's just stupid. That family treats her like a beast of burden, but she still does it."

Bai Qiaoniang looked at them and said:

"You guys eat something first, or you can stay here tonight.

Huo Jun has returned and said that the Emperor has bestowed upon me the title of First Rank Consort, and the imperial edict will be delivered in two days."

Mrs. Bai's eyes lit up and she said:

"This is really good, Huo Jun really puts a lot of thought into it.

If you become a first-rank lady, it will be good for the children."

Bai Qiaoniang smiled and said, "I just think it's really nice to have a reputation in Bianjing."

"Okay, this is good. Your father and I will go back..."

Bai Qiaoniang said helplessly: "Why don't you just rest here!"

"I'll go back and look after them. We're worried. I want to see how shameless those people can be." Mrs. Bai said.

As soon as Bai Qiaoniang sent them back, Naitang said to Bai Wanwan, "Their family moved here just for the money. They're so poor that they have no money left."

Bai Wanwan sighed and said, "It's not about money! It's so annoying. My grandparents won't be able to come back to see me."

Huo Jun strode in and said, "Wife, I have to leave in two days. The emperor asked me to go to the front line to provide disaster relief."

Bai Qiaoniang looked at him and said, "Only two days? I asked someone to make you dinner, just eat a few bites first."

Huo Jun nodded and said:

"Yes! The victims on the front lines are still living in dire straits, how can I stay out of it?

But I'll spend the next two days with you. How are the kids doing with their studies lately?"

Bai Qiaoniang nodded and said, "Of course it's good."

Huo Jun smiled and said, "Bai Song, Bai Bai, and Bai Yuan are all smart kids. There's no problem. Huo Qing is coming back these two days, so we have to be extra careful."

Huo Qing received the letter from home and spat out blood. He rushed back home, but his house had completely changed.

He went straight to the Princess's Mansion and said, "Shen Mingyue, I asked you to take care of my family, how did you do that?"

Shen Mingyue looked at Huo Qing and said, "Do you think I agree? Your mother had an affair with someone in the temple and was seen by many noble ladies. What do you want me to do?"

Huo Qing quickly waved his hands and said, "How is this possible?"

"Go ask around in Bianjing! Your wife went to see Madam Huo, but when she opened the door, she saw your mother with a few beggars..." Shen Mingyue sighed and said, "This matter has caused quite a stir."

Huo Qing's expression changed drastically: "How is it possible? My mother is of such a noble status, how could she possibly fall for a beggar?"

Shen Mingyue looked at him and said, "You'll have to ask Madam Huo. It was said that Madam Huo went up the mountain at the time, so no one knows what happened."

"You mean Madam Huo killed my mother?"

“Then you’ll need to investigate it yourself, but don’t you think their family is very weird?

Nothing good ever happens when we meet them. Do you remember what happened to us in the military camp?

I suspect they were behind this, otherwise how could it have developed like that! " Shen Mingyue gritted her teeth when she thought of those things.

Huo Qing was so angry that his hands were shaking: "Are you going to have a party tomorrow and invite them all? I want to see if it's really them."

Shen Mingyue frowned and said, "Invite them? Who the hell are they?"

"Just invite me if I tell you to. Why are you wasting your time talking?" Huo Qing shouted.

Shen Mingyue looked at him and said, "Huo Qing, please speak properly. This is Bianjing, and my mother is the most noble princess in Daqi."

Huo Qing looked at her and said:

“If you have a chance, bring them here tomorrow. Do you see what this is?

If I give them the truth water, they will start to tell the truth. I just want to ask them what happened at that time."

Shen Mingyue looked at him and said, "If they really did this, what do you want to do?"

Huo Qing sneered and said, "Of course we have to find a way to get rid of them."

"Okay... then leave this matter to me!" Shen Mingyue slowly took a sip of tea.

Not long after, Zhao Qiaoniang and Mrs. Bai both received invitations.

Madam Bai held the post and studied it, unable to help but mutter:

"This Shen Mingyue is really... she actually sent us an invitation.

This kind of post is usually hard to come by, usually only the ladies of wealthy families receive it. I don't know what she's up to."

Bai Qiaoniang snorted coldly and said, "I really don't want to go. I heard Huo Qing is back. Could it be related to what happened last time?"

Mrs. Bai's face darkened, she nodded and said:

"No matter what, you have to be careful. Since they've invited you, not going will only give people something to talk about.

If we go, we have to dress up nicely, we can’t lose face.”

She sighed and added:

"Since we came to Bianjing, we haven't participated in many such scenes.

I heard that the ladies of the noble families often get together, so it’s a good opportunity to go and see them.”

Bai Wanwan also came over and said, "Grandma, Mom, please take me with you tomorrow!"

"Why are you, a little kid, going to such a banquet? What if you encounter danger?" Bai Qiaoniang firmly disagreed.

Bai Wanwan quickly grabbed her hand and said, "Mom, this way I can meet more people! Just let me go!"

It was too boring at home, having to learn the rules every day, so she went out to relax for a day.

Mrs. Bai gently touched Bai Wanwan's head, her tone loving:

"If she wants to go, let her go. It's a good opportunity for her to see the world.

With this little girl's cleverness, who can harm her? But you have to follow me, understand?"

The next morning, they dressed up carefully and rode in an exquisitely decorated carriage towards the princess's mansion.

It turned out that Princess Mingyue was hosting a "Hundred Flowers Banquet" this time, and many unmarried young men and daughters of noble families in Bianjing City were invited to attend.

The princess's mansion was decorated with lights and filled with precious flowers everywhere. The sounds of stringed instruments were melodious and pleasant. The courtyard was already filled with people in elegant clothes and was bustling with activity.

The carriage stopped in front of the Princess's residence. As Madam Bai and the others got off, they saw Shen Mingyue leaning against a vermilion lacquer column, glancing at them with contempt in her eyes. "Who did I think you were? I didn't expect you to dare come here!"
