After rebirth, the wife of the Houfu shark went crazy

He suddenly looked up at Liu Ye and asked, "Did you do what I asked you to do?"

"This servant is following your instructions and bribing people in the name of Miss Xu. Even if the Marquis really investigates this matter, it will definitely not lead to us."

Seeing Liu Ye's solemn promise, Lin Rouyu gradually relaxed and consoled herself, "We are new to Kyoto and don't know what happened to them before. Brother Rui will definitely not suspect us."

Upon hearing this, Liu Ye quickly comforted her, "Miss, you're right. Perhaps the flower viewing banquet will be held tomorrow, and the Marquis is busy, so he doesn't have time to come. Miss, please don't let your imagination run wild."

Lin Rouyu nodded, and felt that what Liu Ye said made sense, and her tense nerves slowly relaxed.

Qin Wangfu.

The room was tightly locked, and in the middle of the room stood a charcoal brazier with a blazing fire. Gulin was lying on the couch, his hands wrapped in a grey coat, holding a heater in his hands, his eyes slightly squinting.

"Your Highness, there will be a flower viewing party next door tomorrow, and you have been invited. Do you want to go?" Wuyi asked, holding the invitation.

"No." Gulin refused without even opening his eyes.

Wuyi glanced down at the invitation and then double-checked, "I heard that His Majesty and His Majesty will also be attending tomorrow. Are you really not going?"

Without waiting for Wuyi to finish speaking, Gulin opened his eyes and glared at Wuyi impatiently. Wuyi didn't dare to say anything for a moment and walked out dejectedly with the invitation.

Gulin raised his eyes and glanced out the window, his cold gaze instantly becoming deep.

Early the next morning.

Jiang Xiyu got up early and dressed up.

Although she was the hostess today, she deliberately did not show off too much. Apart from putting on some light makeup, she wore a lotus green long skirt and her hair was also plain. Apart from two silk flowers of the same color, she only had a jade hairpin.

Looking at the overly plain-looking Jiang Xiyu in the bronze mirror, Qing'er couldn't help but say, "Madam, you gave all the good things to them. Isn't it a bit bad for you to dress so plainly?"

Many dignitaries and nobles will come today, all of them are god-like figures. If Jiang Xiyu dresses so plainly, wouldn’t it be embarrassing for her?

Jiang Xiyu didn't care at all and smiled, "I've always been told that I'm naturally beautiful. Besides, if I really wanted to use some jewelry, any piece in my box would be more precious than what they borrowed. But for today's banquet, this jade hairpin is enough."

Qing'er wanted to say something, but she saw Jiang Xiyu had already stood up, "Let's go, the guests are about to arrive."

Today, as the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion, she needs to go to the gate to welcome the distinguished guests.

When Jiang Xiyu brought Qing'er to the door, she found that she was the last one to arrive, and the others had already arrived.

All of them were dressed to the nines, but Xu Rong was the most dazzling.

Wearing a pink silk dress with peach blossom mist and a five-colored crystal necklace around her neck, she looks radiant and beautiful.

Zheng, Hu and Sun also dressed up. All three of them wore the walking clothes that they borrowed from her yesterday. They all looked very noble.

Compared to them, it seems much simpler.

Xu Rong glanced at Jiang Xiyu from head to toe, and seeing that she was dressed so shabbily today, she curled her lips in disdain.

"Sister-in-law, didn't we give you a lot of jewelry yesterday? Why are you dressed like a beggar today?"

Mrs. Hu also looked Jiang Xiyu up and down and agreed, "Yes, sister-in-law, why didn't you wear those things we gave you yesterday? You only wore a hairpin."

Zheng was also clearly dissatisfied with Jiang Xiyu's attire today. She started to lecture her, "Jiang Xiyu, look at yourself dressed like this. You are the mistress of the Yonglin Marquisate. On such an important day, you are dressing like this. You are bringing shame to our Marquisate. Are you doing this on purpose?"

Faced with these people who like to get something for nothing and make sarcastic remarks, Qing'er was so angry that her face turned blue.

They even said that they had shamelessly borrowed expensive jewelry and now had the nerve to look down on them because their wives dressed so simply.

Also, it was obvious that those jewelries were lent to them, but now they keep saying that they were given to them. This person is really shameless.

Jiang Xiyu was not angry at all, she just glanced at them indifferently.

With a smile on his face, he said, "You did return the jewelry you had borrowed from me yesterday. Now that I've lent you these treasures, you all look great wearing them. Have they attracted a lot of attention?"

Jiang Xiyu's words instantly slapped Xu Rong and the others in the face, and all three of them looked embarrassed.

Even Zheng's face looked uncomfortable.

Jiang Xiyu then bowed to Zheng Shifu and explained, "The Yonglin Marquisate is currently enjoying the emperor's favor, and the Marquis has instructed us not to be too ostentatious."

Zheng then remembered what Xu Rui said in the main hall yesterday, and immediately lowered her head to look at the top-quality beads around her neck.

There was a hint of regret on his face.

After all, Jiang Xiyu was right. They really shouldn't be too ostentatious now. But it was a rare opportunity for her to show up in front of the noble lady today, so Zheng was reluctant to take it off, especially the transparent green bead necklace, which was extremely precious. She had the honor of seeing the empress dowager wearing it on her wrist.

Xu Rong understood Zheng's thoughts, and she was reluctant to take it, so she took Zheng's hand and persuaded her.

"Mother, as the host of today's banquet, we naturally have to dress appropriately to save the reputation of the Marquisate. If we dress shabbily, then it would be better not to hold this flower viewing banquet, lest we become the laughing stock of the entire capital."

She spent a lot of effort to get this set of five-color crystal necklace from Jiang Xiyu. Such a precious and dazzling necklace, on such an important day, how could she not show it off and make those people jealous, with all their eyes focused on her.

Besides, several of her close friends are here today, as well as His Majesty and others. She must perform well in front of them.

Sun was reluctant to do so and echoed the sentiment, "We only wore one or two pieces of jewelry, so it's not too ostentatious."

"Yes, sister-in-law is the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion. You just need to dress plainly. Not everyone needs to do the same, otherwise people will laugh at you." Mrs. Hu said.

While they were talking, Xu Rui and people from several other rooms also came over.

"My Lord." Hu and Sun saluted Xu Rui.

Xu Rui frowned when he saw that Xu Rong and the others were dressed formally, while Jiang Xiyu was dressed too simply.

Zheng was worried that Xu Rui would say they were too ostentatious, so she took Xu Rong and the others out to welcome the guests.

Xu Yun and his brothers also followed him out, leaving Xu Rui and Jiang Xiyu behind.

Xu Rui glanced at the simple jade hairpin on Jiang Xiyu's head and frowned, "Why are you dressed so plainly today?"
