Du Siyu's appearance is that of her father, who is of average appearance.

"Cousin."

Jiang Shuwan nodded.

Then Aunt Hui pulled Gu aside and began to speak in a low voice.

It was simply that she had taken a liking to a girl and wanted to introduce her to her son, but the Du family's social standing was average, so she wanted her sister to make the introduction for her.

Gu Shi had always treated her two younger sisters very well. When her second sister's husband's family was raided, she even took her to live in the Dongping Marquis's mansion for a long time.

Du Siyu said, "Big Cousin, may I come to the General's Mansion to find you?"

Jiang Shuwan pretended not to hear, "I have to go first."

Aunt Hui's family is particularly difficult to deal with, and she doesn't want to provoke them.

Du Siyu had no idea what else she didn't understand. She watched Jiang Shuwan's departing figure and snorted coldly.

"What's so great about her? She still married a minor official."

Jiang Shurou was standing behind her at this moment.

"What is Siyu saying?"

Du Siyu clutched her chest and said, "Oh dear, second cousin, how come you walk so quietly? It's terrifying!"

"You're just too absorbed in your thoughts." Jiang Shurou said, but then she couldn't see Gu Shi and Aunt Hui anymore.

"Where are my mother and third aunt?"

Du Siyu looked around but didn't see anyone, so she said, "I don't know. My mother must have taken a fancy to some girl and sent my aunt to inquire about it."

Jiang Shurou asked, "What were you and your sister talking about just now?"

"I asked my older cousin if I could visit the General's Mansion, but she made an excuse to leave."

There was no concealment between Jiang Shurou and Du Siyu.

Jiang Shurou responded gently, "Your sister has always been like this, please don't be angry."

Du Siyu said naively, "Second cousin, you're the best. No wonder Auntie only likes you."

Jiang Shurou smiled and looked at her without saying anything.

"By the way, second cousin, do you have any news about cousin Shuchen?"

When Gu Shuchen, the son of Uncle Gu, was mentioned, he suddenly became shy.

After seeing her appearance, Jiang Shurou said with a forced smile, "How could I possibly have news about Cousin Shuchen?"

Du Siyu said mysteriously, "Second cousin, I have something to tell you, but don't tell anyone else."

Jiang Shurou suddenly had a bad feeling. "What is it?"

“I told my mother that I like my cousin Shuchen and I wanted her to talk to my uncle and arrange our marriage.”

After Du Siyu finished speaking, she put on a shy look, completely unaware of Jiang Shurou's dark expression.

Jiang Shurou gritted her teeth and asked, "Did Third Aunt mention it to Uncle?"

"Not yet. My uncle is still around, and my brother isn't engaged yet. The reason I came to this banquet with my aunt is to find a good match for him."

As the two were talking, they saw the Gu sisters approaching with smiles.

***

Originally, Song Wenyin was accompanying Jiang Shuwan, but Song's mother's maid called her away, leaving only Jiang Shuwan and Feiyun in the pavilion.

It was too noisy and crowded over there, so Jiang Shuwan thought it would be better to sit here quietly and enjoy her tea.

Xue Fei's mind started racing when he saw Jiang Shuwan all alone.

"Why is Shu Wan sitting here all alone?"

Seeing Xue Fei suddenly approach, Jiang Shuwan became wary.

"Young Master Xue, you've come to the wrong place. This is where women should stay. It's improper for you to be here!"

Xue Fei stared at Jiang Shuwan with a lecherous look. "This is against propriety. What do you think would be a more proper way for us to be?"

Jiang Shuwan shouted, "How dare you!"

Xue Fei was not afraid at all, and said as he walked, "I heard that your husband is just a low-ranking fourth-grade general. Not only is his family background bad, but he is also very unlucky to have such a beautiful wife at home..."

A guard emerged from the shadows, a knife pressed against his neck.

Xue Fei was now sober. He said fearfully, "I was just joking with you. What are you doing?"

Jiang Shuwan said coldly, "So, Prince Xue likes to joke."

Then cut out his tongue so he can never make jokes like that again.

Xue Fei was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat. "I won't dare to do it again. Don't have someone cut out my tongue. My father is the Duke of Xue. If you dare to touch a hair on my head, my father will not forgive you."

Jiang Shuwan looked at him and sneered, "Your father is a Duke, and my grandmother is a Grand Princess. Tell me, does my uncle, the Emperor, side with you or with me?"

Xue Fei was truly frightened now and immediately apologized, "I was wrong, I was wrong, please forgive me this time, Princess Yongning."

"get out!"

Now that he's in the Song residence, Jiang Shuwan can't do anything to him, so she can only let him go.

Xue Fei scrambled away from the pavilion.

Xue Fei dared to flirt with Jiang Shuwan so openly because he saw that she was alone and did not expect that she would have a bodyguard by her side.

Feiyun breathed a sigh of relief, "Luckily we have guards around us, otherwise I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to protect you, Madam, by myself."

Jiang Shuwan said, "Xue Fei is a coward. He looks tall and strong, but he's just a softie. As long as you don't fall for his dirty tricks, you'll be fine."

In this situation, Fei Yun is not as good as Fei Yue, because Fei Yue knows some martial arts.

Lin Ruoqing followed her maid over; she had seen everything that had just happened.

She immediately said, "Princess, don't worry, I won't tell anyone about what just happened."

Jiang Shuwan looked at her, "What is it?"

"Xue..."

Lin Ruoqing stopped after saying just one word and changed her words, saying, "I didn't see anything."

Jiang Shuwan sneered, "It doesn't matter what Madam He sees or says to others. I have nothing to hide.

Lin Ruoqing wanted to explain, "Princess, please don't misunderstand, I meant no harm, I..."

Jiang Shuwan interrupted her, "Alright, no need to explain."

Lin Ruoqing originally wanted to see Jiang Shuwan make a fool of herself, but she didn't expect it to turn out like this.

"You've already achieved your goal of becoming Mrs. He, and I don't think we'll ever cross paths again. But if you insist on coming closer, I won't hold back."

Jiang Shuwan bluntly told her that at the last polo match and this flower viewing party, Lin Ruoqing would approach her whenever she saw her, speaking respectfully, but actually just wanting to see her make a fool of herself.

Lin Ruoqing was surprised that Jiang Shuwan had seen through her thoughts, and her first thought was to deny it.

"Madam Xie has misunderstood."

I know whether it's a misunderstanding or not, and you should know it too.

After Jiang Shuwan finished speaking, she got up and left.

She hadn't expected to encounter so many people she disliked at the banquet, and she planned to tell Madam Song that she was leaving.

Lin Ruoqing clenched her hands tightly.

Why?! Why is Jiang Shuwan always so nonchalant? Just now, when she saw Xue Fei walking towards her, she was secretly pleased. She planned to save Jiang Shuwan later to repay her previous life-saving grace. She didn't expect that Jiang Shuwan would have a secret guard by her side.

Not only that, she also saw through his thoughts, making him feel like a clown in front of her.

Jiang Shuwan thought this way about herself, and so did Li Ning and the others; they all looked down on her.

Seeing her master's pale face, Caihuan was a little worried.

"girl……"

It took Caihuan several calls for Lin Ruoqing to come back to her senses.

"Are you okay, miss?"

Lin Ruoqing took a deep breath and said, "It's alright, let's go find my mother-in-law."
