"Mrs. Lin, do you see what's wrong?"

Lin Ting didn't say anything, but pulled up Wen Lengyan's sleeve and put it to his nose to smell it.

Wen Lengyan and Han Yian looked at each other in confusion at this action, but neither of them stopped Lin Ting.

"Madam Wen, who made the incense for your clothes? What material did they use? Do you know?"

Wen Lengyan's clothes were washed and ironed by the servants. These clothes had a faint fragrance. It was the smell of all the clothes washed when she married into the Pei family.

It was very light and not unpleasant, so she didn't take it too seriously.

"This smell is very faint and always there. It's the smell left over from the laundry in our house."

This matter is not that simple, Lin Ting must also be cautious.

"My dear lady, does everyone in the mansion have this fragrance, or is it just your clothes?"

Wen Lengyan was stunned. She really hadn't noticed this. After all, the smell was very faint and she couldn't smell it at all from a distance.

Moreover, as the mistress of the family, she couldn't pull the clothes of the people in the mansion to smell them like Lin Ting had just done.

However, the smell of her husband was different from hers. At first, she just thought it was a difference between men and women.

"I...I wasn't paying attention!"

Han Yian also imitated Lin Ting and picked up Wen Lengyan's sleeve to smell it, but she couldn't feel anything?

"Lin Ting, if you have something to say, just say it directly. Sister Wen is not the kind of person who lives in a big house and thinks deeply."

Lin Ting: "Then I'll be frank. When I smell the incense on your clothes, it smells a bit like musk, but because it's covered by other incense, the musk smell is so weak that it's almost inaudible.

But musk is musk. If a woman carries musk on her body for a long time, it will be difficult for her to get pregnant, and even if she does get pregnant, she will easily suffer a miscarriage.

In addition, the pregnancy-maintaining medicine you are taking is probably not a real pregnancy-maintaining medicine. With the symptoms I just described, I am afraid that your fetus may be difficult to save.

I don't know much about your family's affairs, so Madam Wen can go find a doctor to check your health."

As soon as Lin Ting finished speaking, Han Yian punched the round table.

"Those bastards from the Pei family want to kill you, Sister Wen! I'm going to kill these beasts."

Han Yian was in a very bad mood and was about to stand up to find Pei Xuewen.

Wen Lengyan seemed calm. She grabbed Han Yian's hand and curled the corners of her mouth into a sneer.

"Yian, this is the Pei family's business, don't worry about it, I will handle it myself."

After saying that, Wen Lengyan got up and left. She asked the servants to tell Madam Zhang that she was not feeling well and was leaving first.

She still didn't know what was going on. Was it the Pei family's intention? Or was there someone else who was harming her?

This matter is extremely important to her, and she must get to the bottom of it.

After Wen Lengyan left, the nanny beside Madam Zhang also came over and called Lin Ting and Han Yian to the banquet.

"Mrs. Lin, Miss Han, Madam has asked me to invite you two to take a seat. Please..."

The Zhang family kept a close eye on Lin Ting and would not let her leave the house until the flower viewing banquet was over.

"Lin Ting, let's go in together."

In addition to appreciating the flowers, a banquet is naturally indispensable at the flower viewing banquet. Lin Ting and Han Yian entered the banquet hall.

All the young men and ladies were already seated here. They performed some kind of show and everyone applauded. The atmosphere was very lively and happy.

Lin Ting and Han Yian were sitting in adjacent seats. They looked up and asked the nanny who brought them in.

"What are they doing, laughing so happily?"

The old nanny bent down and replied, "Miss Han, the young masters were just making couplets. The Seventh Prince's was neat and wonderful, which naturally attracted everyone's praise."

It turns out to be the seventh prince, no wonder others praise him.

"Okay, we got it, you can go down."

After the old nanny left, Han Yian and Lin Ting started eating. The world is big, but eating is the most important thing.

No matter what poems or songs others recited, the two of them just watched for fun.

Until Mrs. Zhang started calling the female guests.

"Spring is beautiful, and the annual flower viewing banquet is here. Today I have in my hand a scroll of a thousand-mile river and mountain painting by the famous painter Dou Lian.

I am using this painting as a prize. Young ladies from various families who have outstanding talents can take this famous painting away."

Lin Ting looked at the painting. The mountains and rivers stretched over thousands of miles, shrouded in clouds and mist. The painting was done with great skill, and it was a lifelike ink painting.

"Everyone, look! This is the authentic work of Master Dou Lian!"

Even Xiao Chu did not expect that Dou Lian's most famous painting, A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains, would be in Zhang's mansion.

The men's poetry competition just now has already won the prize, which is a poem written by the King of Poetry.

But that poem is not even on the same level as this painting.

Mrs. Zhang took out the painting and gave it to the female members of the family as a prize, feeling confident that her daughter would win first place.

She wanted to let the Seventh Prince see that no boy would be unmoved by the prize her daughter had worked so hard to win and then give it to him.

In addition, this is a rare work by a famous painter from the previous dynasty, so there would be no one in the world who would not want this painting.

For women, the male guests sitting opposite them are all young men from aristocratic families. This kind of banquet every year is the best opportunity to choose a son-in-law.

If you have someone you like, of course you have to perform to leave a good impression on your sweetheart.

"Mother, I am not very talented. I have choreographed a water show dance and I want to show you how ugly it is."

The water sleeve dance is soft yet powerful, and is not easy to practice. However, everyone has heard that Zhang Lanhui specially invited a dancer to teach her this dance for this flower viewing banquet, just to win the Seventh Prince's smile.

"Okay, Lan Hui, you go first and let the ladies judge."

Zhang Lanhui went downstairs to change her clothes. The musicians were all on full alert and six standing drums were brought into the banquet hall.

After everything was ready, Zhang Lanhui slowly walked out from behind the screen in the banquet hall.

She was wearing a red classical dance costume with long sleeves that faded from red to white. She had removed all the jewelry from her head, leaving only a hairpin to hold her hair in place.

There are not too many decorations, but it brings out her temperament.

The wind instruments sounded, and she bent down, and the sleeves in her hands spread out smoothly, as slender as a startled swan and as graceful as a swimming dragon.

As the sound of the wind instruments grew faster and faster, Zhang Lanhui's movements also became faster and faster. Her dance steps and sleeves seemed alive, beating the drums on the stage.

This attracted praise from everyone on the scene.

"This Miss Zhang is indeed the best water sleeve dancer in the capital. We are really feasting our eyes today."

Another man also said: "Miss Zhang's dance today is like walking down from a mural. The first dance is so stunning. How can the others who come after her compare?"

Lin Ting and Han Yian never stopped eating while watching the performance.

The servants brought up plate after plate of food, and the two men just wanted to eat their fill.

After the dance, everyone cheered: "Good! Miss Zhang danced well."

Zhang Lanhui calmed down and enjoyed the comments from everyone. When she turned to look at Xiao Chu, she also saw Xiao Chu's admiring eyes.

She finally let out a smile from the bottom of her heart. When she got the prize, she would definitely give it to the Seventh Prince personally.
