When she entered, she took the side door instead of the main door to avoid the possibility of encountering a group of people from the Jiang family.
Qiao Nian is already very low-key.
However, her aura is too strong.
Even though she tried her best to keep a low profile and didn't want to have anything to do with the Jiang family, Yuan Qing still saw her back when she entered.
"That person is Qiao Nian?"
Yuan Qing was wearing a red double-breasted modified fugong today, and her gray hair was combed meticulously.
If she hadn't been too mean in her daily life and seemed a bit mean-spirited and difficult to get along with, she would have been a blessed old lady at her age.
"Qiao Nian?"
"there."
The person who accompanied her to Jiang Xianrou's recognition party from the Yuan family was her son, a middle-aged man with a sallow face and a thin body.
The middle-aged man looked in the direction where her crutches pointed. At a glance, he only saw the corner of her clothes and no one at all.
He looked away carelessly, pushed his old mother, and said, "I didn't see it, Mom, did you see it wrong? It seems that Dafang's family won't come for dinner this noon."
"Didn't you see the person walking past just now?" Yuan Qing didn't give up and wanted to follow him to have a look, but her legs were inconvenient: "I see it's that Qiao Nian."
The middle-aged man didn't want to cause trouble in today's situation: "Mom, forget it, don't worry about it. It has nothing to do with us whether she is or not. Why do you worry about these things? I will push you back."
"You know nothing!"
Yuan Qing was very angry at his unsatisfactory words.
"I am not doing it for your son. The first family and the second family are not living up to expectations. From now on, we can only hug the second family and the other family tightly. My brother is confused, and I can't be confused."
After she rolled her eyes several times, due to the occasion, she did not catch up to see if the person who entered the imperial palace was Qiao Nian.

It was approaching noon, and the guests invited by the Jiang family came one after another.
People from the Qi family also arrived.
Only two people came to the Qi family this time, one was Qi Yan, and the other was Qi Lanyin who came with Qi Yan.
The two people received by Jiang Yao.
Qi Yan also gave Jiang Xianrou a meeting gift.
The scene once seemed very harmonious.
Everyone chatted and laughed and entered the banquet hall of the imperial palace together.
Only Qi Lanyin, who was following Qi Yan, had a cold face throughout the whole process, her bright oval face was so long that anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was not in a good mood.
Especially when she saw Qi Yan giving the Qi family's emblem as a gift to Jiang Xianrou, her eyes flashed with extreme dissatisfaction and anger.
But Qi Yan ignored her.
Qi Lanyin did not dare to be presumptuous in front of her aunt.
She was feeling upset, so after entering the banquet hall, she whispered to Qi Yan: "Auntie, I'm going to the bathroom."
Qi Yan tied her hair up in a bun today and wore a shirt suit, which weakened the soft femininity of her body and added a touch of elegance.
She knew what Qi Lanyin was unhappy about, but in front of Tang Wanru's family, she didn't show anything strange. She just gave Qi Lanyin a look of "don't cause trouble", smiled and said: "Well, go ahead."
Qi Lanyin is not a fool.
On the contrary, she has been one of the most valued heirs of the Qi family since she was a child, and she has always been very good.
The only waterloo in life was when she was pressed to the ground and rubbed against Qiao Nian during the medical competition. At other times, she was the only one who outshone others.
Of course she saw the warning in her aunt's eyes, and the discomfort in her heart became even more distressed.
