149 Mess It Up (1/2)

Ye Jiayao was in a bad mood for the whole day.

If it wasn't for Deng Haichuan asking, she wouldn't have even remembered to arrange the private dinner tomorrow. She actually didn't even remember that there's an event tomorrow!

As there were many private dinner parties they were hired for, if it was not a very important family, only one between she and Zhong Xiang would go. The business of the restaurant was very good so they needed people there at all times.

For the party tomorrow, she made Zhong Xiang's group stay at the restaurant and brought Deng Haichuan and Wang Mingde instead.

The next day, when they got to the Wei's house, she instantly knew that this was Wei Liujiang's. Just her luck.

If she had known that he owned this, she would've assigned Zhong Xiang instead.

However, since she was already there, she'd just have to suck it up. I hope they get serious diarrhea after the meal.

The people who joined the dinner party tonight were Assistant Minister Mu's friends and some old friends of the Wei and the Ye.

Wei Liujiang was famous due to the whole Ye Jinxuan conflict so many people came to the party.

Ning and Qie were afraid that some accident would happen. They were very cautious about this and got half of the servants from Mu's mansion here today. No one could come in without an invitation.

All the people in attendance here were quite powerful. If an incident like the one in the Helian Mansion happened, they would lose so much face.

Su's elder wife Zhu also got the invitation. Ye Jinrong was very fervent towards her and even personally accompanied her around. The fake second daughter Fang Wanting also made a debut in the party and chatted happily with other young girls.

Everything was in harmony as if the rumors outside don't affect them.

People outside gradually forgot about the problem. Maybe it was the Jing An Heir-Son Lord that made a mistake.

The twenty-seat banquet feast and the private banquet hosted by Heavenly Residence was of very high quality and everyone ate with relish. The food was just especially and inexplicably delicious and no one knew what recipe they used.

While everyone was enjoying the magnificent meal inside, a well-dressed woman stood in front of Wei Liujiang's mansion. She was followed by about eight powerful men and a young scholar.

”Lady, please show us your invitation,” the Mu family's housekeeper requested with a smile.

”I came from Yang Zhou, relatives of the Ye. I just arrived.” The woman proudly held her head up as if she was daring the housekeeper to contest her.

”I will pass on the message.”

”That won't be necessary. I'll go in myself.” The woman made a move to walk inside.

The housekeeper quickly stopped her. ”Madam, I am very sorry, but my host gave a special request that guests who have no invitations are not allowed to enter.”

The woman looked at the men behind her.

One of the men came up and pulled the housekeeper to the side, restraining him.

The woman took her people and went straight into the house.

The servants of the Mu family thought that they were let in by the housekeeper so no one stopped them.

The woman walked up to a servant girl and asked, ”Where is the feast for the women?”

The servant girl, thinking that the madam was merely late, said enthusiastically, ”I will take you there, lady.”

The woman asked the scholar to stay at the door and wait for her orders. She then proceeded to the flower hall and saw Ning and Jinrong sitting at the main table.

Rage simmering inside her, she loudly called, ”Ning and Jinrong, why don't you come and greet me?”

Ning was talking to the Assistant Minister's wife when she heard someone call for her. She raised her head and felt her blood run cold when she spotted Fang Wen.

All the women who were there put their chopsticks down and watched the woman who had suddenly barged in questioningly.

Who was this impolite woman? Was she trying to ruin the banquet?

Qie asked Jinrong cluelessly, ”Who is she?”

Jinrong couldn't answer her. She never imagined that Fang Wen would come here.
