At this time, Lian Ru Yue heard some whispers beside her — —
”Ninth Prince's grace is indeed unparalleled.”
”I heard that Ninth Prince rejected Liang Runan, the direct grandson of the Duke of Liang. She's one of the most talented girls in the capital, and her family is excellent, her looks like a flower.”
”I've never heard of the ninth prince having feelings for any woman. The son of Lan mama in my room works at Prince Heng's estate. I've heard that the ninth prince doesn't have any concubines, only a mama in charge of food and accommodation. This mama is also his wet nurse.”
”In that case, Ninth Prince is not only a devoted person, he's also someone who has been through a long time. I wonder who will be lucky enough to be Prince Heng's consort?”
Amidst the whispers of the noble ladies, Feng Yunzheng slowly walked past Lian Rue and the discussions of those people also fell into his ears. However, he walked over without looking sideways and sat down beside Feng Ye and Feng Qianyue.
”Fourth prince brother, eighth prince brother, your royal brother will be late, do not take offense.”
When the three of them sat together, it was a pleasant sight, filling the eyes of the noble ladies opposite them.
”The Ninth Emperor's younger brother is in a pampered state, so of course he would be late for something important. How can we blame you?” The corner of Feng Qianyue's mouth curled into a smile.
Feng Yunzheng did not care about the ridicule in his words and said, ”Little Brother Huang has been idling since he returned from Southern City. As for Fourth Brother Wang, he hasn't appeared for a long time, so why did he come today?”
”General Xiao is a meritorious official of the imperial government. I congratulate you for coming here today.” Feng Qianyue also spoke in a manner that was watertight.
In fact, one of the reasons he came today was to see Lian Ruyue and ask her why she had twisted his flower. The second reason was to scout Xiao Zhenhai's mouth. He wanted to find an opportunity to become one with Xiao Zhenhai.
Even Shiya felt that the Ninth Prince was outstanding, but this time …
She suddenly felt a stifling feeling in her heart and could not get out. Finally, she could no longer sit still. She got up and walked out of the banquet site. The faster she walked, the faster she moved.
”Ya Er, wait!” The Xiao Clan followed behind.
”What is it?” Lian Shiya impatiently stopped and asked.
”How is your relationship with Minister Liu's daughter, Liu Xiren?” She wanted to know the secret of the scholar's wife, the one who held a high position in her family, and the one who held a child in her arms.
”Didn't you see? That little slut and Lian Ruyue were sworn enemies in the past, but now, she's actually very good to her, yet she's always targeting me. If she didn't laugh at me so loudly just now, who would have known that I … ” The word incontinence was something that Lian Shiya couldn't open her mouth to say.
”Find a way to get closer to her and scout for me.” The Xiao family's old patriarch ordered in a low voice.
”What kind of words?” Lian Shiya frowned and asked.
”Her mother, Madam Liu, is already over forty years old, but she's pregnant. The doctor took her pulse and said she was a boy, and now it's been almost six months. I think she must have some kind of secret recipe. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to give birth so easily.” The Xiao family was certain that Madam Shang was pregnant because it was not the will of heaven.
Lian Shiya's face revealed a trace of bewilderment. ”I wasn't paying attention to such a thing just now; I'll find an opportunity to ask.” To her, her own mother gave birth to a son to consolidate her position in the family.
”Then where are you going now?” The Xiao family didn't look like they were going back to their room when they saw her.
Lian Shiya frowned. ”When I was there, those people were also pointing and pointing at me, and they even pretended not to look at me. I really can't take it anymore. I have to go talk to Cousin Rou Er!”
She now understood that the people who tried to assassinate her today were originally arranged by her uncle to take revenge for Xiao Rou. He had messed up a good assassination plan!
