After rebirth, the wife of the Houfu shark went crazy
Chapter 46 You Don’t Want to Borrow
After they sat down, Xu Rong glanced at Jiang Xiyu who was drinking tea, then saw Zheng Shi, who looked unhappy. She turned her eyes and asked with concern, "Mother, what's wrong with you? Did someone make you unhappy?"
After saying that, he looked at Jiang Xiyu intentionally or unintentionally.
Xu Rui was stunned. He hadn't noticed it before, but after Xu Rong said this, he found that Zheng seemed different from usual.
"What happened?" Xu Rui asked with a frown.
Zheng was stunned. She looked at the people in the rooms below, who were looking at her with great interest, as if they were watching a fun event. Zheng's heart became even more blocked, and her face became even uglier. She hummed, "It's okay."
After drinking the tea beside him, he suppressed his anger and changed the subject, "What's the matter with you guys coming here?"
After saying that, he glanced at them.
Everyone else looked at Xu Rui, because they were here because Xu Rui had someone notify them.
"Your Majesty is coming to attend our flower-viewing banquet." Xu Rui said lightly.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was in an uproar, their faces full of excitement and joy.
Jiang Xiyu was also a little surprised.
"Rui'er, are you telling the truth?" Zheng's face was full of disbelief.
Xu Rui nodded, "Yeah."
Xu Xin excitedly stepped forward and grabbed Xu Rui's hand. "Brother, I didn't expect His Majesty to value you so much. Not only did he grant you the Princess's Mansion to live in, but now he has even granted you the honor of coming to admire the flowers. This is a great gift from heaven. No minister has ever received such a gift before."
Xu Kun quickly agreed, "Yes, only our eldest brother has such nerve. Looking across the entire Yun Dynasty, which minister's family can afford to invite His Majesty to the palace?"
Xu Yun also had a look of joy on his face. "Your Majesty is visiting our mansion this time. From now on, no one will dare to look down on us in Yonglin Marquis Mansion in Kyoto."
In the past, because the old marquis was a playboy, the Yonglin Marquisate was not taken seriously in Kyoto. It was only after Xu Rui inherited the title that things gradually improved.
"Of course, all this is thanks to big brother. If it weren't for big brother's defeat and supreme contribution, our mansion would not be able to move to a higher level." Xu Xin said with great pride.
Mrs. Hu also said excitedly, "Will His Majesty bring the Empress from the palace?"
"It should be." Xu Rui said
"If that's the case, with His Majesty as the male guest and the Empress of the Palace as the female guest, our flower viewing banquet will surely cause a sensation in Kyoto."
Zheng, who was feeling angry just now, suddenly lost all her anger when she heard these words, and smiled with wrinkles all over her face.
"Mother is right." Xu Rong's face was also full of joy. She thought that she would meet Gu Wei soon. Then she would have the opportunity to get close to Gu Wei. Soon after that, she would become an empress. She was very excited just thinking about it.
Xu Rui was calmer than them and reminded them, "Let's not make it too grand. Just invite five tables each for men and women. Don't invite too many people, it would be too ostentatious."
Jiang Xiyu looked at Xu Rui with some surprise. She didn't expect that he had already realized that a tall tree attracts the wind, especially under the eyes of Gu Wei. If he didn't handle it well, he would be doomed.
But when I thought about how scheming this man was, I stopped thinking about it.
Seeing Jiang Xiyu remained silent, Xu Rui said to her, "I'll have to trouble you, Madam, to make changes to the proposed list."
"Okay." Jiang Xiyu nodded slightly, having already prepared a list of female guests in her mind.
Originally, she didn't intend to take care of this mess, but thinking that Gu Wei and the empress from the palace were coming, she reluctantly agreed.
Because if she didn't do well, it might implicate Gu Wei, who had always been dissatisfied with her father, and might find a reason to deal with her father.
Afterwards, they discussed matters such as purchasing and arrangement, and Jiang Xiyu did not interrupt.
Everyone was so excited that they didn't notice anything unusual about her, or maybe they were used to her silence.
Jiang Xiyu quietly left while they were discussing.
After that, the mansion was busy for several days, but Jiang Xiyu ignored it and hid in her own yard, eating, drinking, writing, and living a leisurely life.
The day before the flower viewing banquet, Jiang Xiyu was writing invitations in the house when Xu Rong came to the door.
"Sister-in-law."
Xu Rui walked into the room with a smile on his face, as if he had always had a very good relationship with Jiang Xiyu, which was completely different from the recent time when he was at odds with Jiang Xiyu.
No one comes here for no reason. Jiang Xiyu didn't even raise her eyes. Xu Rong's face darkened when she was ignored by her, but when she thought of the purpose of coming here, she immediately smiled and came to her side.
"My sister-in-law's handwriting is really beautiful."
In response to her compliment, Jiang Xiyu raised his head and glanced at her indifferently, then said expressionlessly, "What's the matter?"
If it were any other time, Xu Rong would have been furious. She forced herself to smile despite her anger.
"Sister-in-law, we're going to have a flower viewing banquet soon, and my mother and I are still short of some clothes. Could you lend us some?"
Qing'er, who had been grinding nearby, immediately became gloomy.
She is really shameless to the extreme. She framed Jiang Xiyu before, and now she has the nerve to ask Jiang Xiyu to lend her her clothes. She is really shameless and unmatched in the world.
Jiang Xiyu wasn't as angry as Qing'er. He put down his pen and slowly walked to the table to sit down. After pouring himself a cup of tea and drinking it, he slowly said, "If I remember correctly, my sister seems to have borrowed quite a few things from me before, and she hasn't returned any of them yet. Mother and my two younger siblings haven't returned anything either."
Xu Rong didn't feel embarrassed at all when she saw Jiang Xiyu bringing up the past. Instead, she questioned her with confidence, "Sister-in-law, you are too stingy. You have so much dowry, why don't you give us one or two? We are all family, and you are still so fussy."
Qing'er was so angry at her shamelessness that she rolled her eyes.
Jiang Xiyu was so angry at her self-righteousness that she laughed, with a sneer on her lips.
"Sister, no matter how much your dowry is, it was prepared by my father for me. What does it have to do with you? Why should I give it to you? Aren't you being too arrogant?"
Xu Rong's face darkened after being stung by Jiang Xiyu's words. She stopped pretending and sat down next to her, saying coldly, "Don't you want to borrow it?"
Jiang Xiyu casually slammed the teacup in her hand onto the table. "Is this your attitude when borrowing things?"
Seeing Jiang Xiyu's tough attitude, Xu Rong's eyes flickered slightly, and in the blink of an eye, she changed her expression and said to Jiang Xiyu in a flattering way, "Sister-in-law, I have kept all the things I borrowed from you before. If you lend me a few more this time, I will return all the original ones to you."
Xu Rong's scheming was all written on her face. If it was Jiang Xiyu in her previous life, she might have foolishly believed her words, but after going through so much, she no longer believed them.
