"This is for Mother, and this set of jewelry, Mother, please take them back!"

Lian Qingyou smiled and comforted her.

Liu Yanran had really wanted it in the first place, and seeing her like this, she immediately nodded and agreed.

"Then I'll head back now. You can continue with your banquet. If you need anything from me, just let me know!"

Liu Yanran had her maid carry the things and follow behind her as they left.

"Miss, do you dare give her the things Madam gave you?!"

Xin'er had been holding it in, but now that Liu Yanran had left, she finally revealed it.

"I think it suits her better!"

Lian Qingyou smiled slightly, placed the teacup on the stone table, and walked towards the wooden stake.

Xin'er still looked completely bewildered.

"Miss naturally has her own reasons!"

Shuangran found it amusing to see her looking so worried, so she reached out and pinched the tip of her nose.

"Ok!"

Xin'er nodded as well.

The two of them stood in the morning light, watching Lian Qingyou walk on the wooden stakes.

Liu Yanran returned to her courtyard. She dismissed the maids, went into the inner room, took off her clothes, and put them on.

They opened the box again, and inside were a diamond hairpin, earrings, and a bracelet.

She knew that the diamond was worth a fortune.

Lian Qingyou was so generous, giving herself such fine jewelry.

Liu Yanran put it on while thinking carefully.

She was puzzled. How could Lian Qingyou be so willing to give her something so good?

On second thought, perhaps the people coming were all high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and she would feel embarrassed if she didn't dress well.

So that's why she prepared the things for herself to wear!

With this in mind, Liu Yanran calmed down.

She started posing in front of the mirror.

The day of the banquet arrived quickly.

Madam Lian also came with her daughter-in-law, as well as the two concubine daughters of the Lian family, Lian Biyu and Lian Yuwei.

Lian Qingyou set up the banquet in the garden, surrounded by blooming chrysanthemums.

Several round stone tables were arranged in a staggered manner.

Everyone took their seats.

"You are all very welcome to our home today for this banquet."

Liu Yanran stepped forward with a beaming smile, glanced around at everyone, and began to speak.

"Madam Song, you look absolutely radiant today!"

The Minister's wife was also in her thirties, and her clothes were very proper.

At this moment, Liu Yanran, who is clearly a widowed woman, is dressed in a very flamboyant manner.

Even Lian Qingyou, who was standing next to her, was overshadowed by her.

Tsk tsk.

"You flatter me, Madam Minister!"

Liu Yanran smiled slightly, thinking that the other person was praising her.

"Why did you give her this dress, and that set of jewelry? They're very expensive!"

Madam Lian pulled Lian Qingyou aside and asked in a low voice.

Although her voice was very soft, everyone around her could hear it clearly.

"Mother, please don't ask anymore!"

Lian Qingyou looked around and saw that many people were looking at her. She smiled helplessly at them.

When Madam Lian heard her say this, she stopped talking.
