C63 (2/2)

Wen Jiu almost couldn't hold back his laughter, he pretended to think, ”Probably the kind that's especially pretty.”

However, she was calculating how much that pile of jewelry was worth. She was short on money right now, so it would be worth a little more.

Not to mention, these young mistresses were extremely extravagant.

As they were talking, there was a sound of silk bamboo behind the screen. The banquet had begun.

Lady Wang brought Wang Qianyun over, and the group returned to their seats. Wang Qianyun sat beside Wen Jiu, and gently smiled at her.

Wen Jiu's eyebrows twitched, he had a bad premonition.

Sure enough, in the next moment, Madam Wang asked, ”I heard from Fifth Young Madame just now, that General Xie isn't married yet?”

Wen Jiu finally understood why this old cunning fox wanted her and Xie Heng to attend his birthday banquet.

This brat clearly wants to go crazy from marrying his daughter!

Wen Jiu's face did not reveal any change, but smiled: ”That's right, our family's grandmother is currently looking for him.”

The moment they heard this, everyone became anxious.

Wang Qianyun pulled Lady Wang's arm, her intention was also very obvious.

The latter asked with a smile: ”Then may I know when Old Madame Xie will come to Dijing? We can also walk around the house. ”

”Next year, spring. It will only be for a few months.”

How could Wen Jiu not know what they were thinking?

It was just that the situation would have greatly changed in the coming spring. No one could be sure what the daughters of the aristocratic families would look like at that time.

Everyone had their own thoughts, so they talked casually. The atmosphere was quite good.

Wen Jiu didn't really talk much, she just smiled faintly most of the time, and only opened her mouth to speak a little when someone asked her.

She didn't have much experience interacting with the girls in the harem, but she knew that these girls weren't simple characters.

After taking someone else's benefit, he revealed a few unimportant bits of information.

This was a deal that would never lose anything.

Wen Jiu was very willing to do it.

The singing and dancing were leisurely, the tea and wine were exchanged for a few rounds, and the banquet had reached its most lively point. Outside, the attendant had come to report, ”The Crown Prince and Prince Rui have arrived.”

The women behind the screen immediately quietened down, leaving only the courteous greetings from the officials outside.

Just as the sound of the silk bamboo stopped, a cry of alarm suddenly rang out in the backyard, resounding through the night sky.

Zhao Feng's face changed, ”What happened?”

”This old official will send someone to take a look.” When such a thing suddenly happened at Chief Minister Wang's birthday banquet, he could not help but to call for his butler.

Xie Heng stood up at a leisurely pace, and said in a lazy voice, ”This voice is really refreshing.”

Everyone looked a little embarrassed.

They were both tired of watching the singing and dancing, and only if this youth dared to speak like that in front of their chief assistant.

attendant from the neighboring courtyard hurriedly ran over, ”Old, Old Master … ”Miss Yang, she …”

”What's wrong? Say it! ”

Chief Minister Wang's face darkened.

attendant wanted to say something but hesitated.

Zhao Zhi frowned and asked: ”What exactly happened?”

attendant couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time, he was so anxious that his head was covered in sweat.

Zhao Zhi interrupted: ”Chief Minister should go over to take a look first, don't let anything really happen to him.”

”The Residence of Subordinate has always been peaceful. Nothing happened, so it must be …” Before Chief Minister Wang could finish his words, he was interrupted by an even louder voice from the neighboring courtyard.
