The appointment to the Xu family emptied most of the Liang family's wealth, and even a lot of the dowry left by her mother during her lifetime was forcibly taken away by her father and given to the elder's daughter's granddaughter.
Seeing that the warehouse was mostly empty, how could she not be angry.
In her heart, she even wished that the marriage had ended. Originally, she and her future sister-in-law had never dealt with each other. After this incident, she became even more angry.
Xu Mingyue was busy talking to Bai Siruo, but she didn't notice Liang Luo's thoughts.
At the male guests' table not far away, Mr. Liang, who was supposed to be proud of the spring breeze, was instead feeling a bit sad. He took two sips of wine, causing him to cough several times.
The sound was not loud and the people around did not notice it.
However, Wei Lanxuan, who was chatting with several princes, caught a glimpse of his frustrated look from the corner of her eye, and winked at the maid Yue Jian behind her.
Yue Jian has grown up with Wei Lanxuan since she was a child. He doesn't even need her to tell him, he just looks at her eyes and knows what to do.
When no one was paying attention, he went to the waterside pavilion and called a boy over. After giving a few instructions, he pretended that nothing happened and returned to the table.
After half a cup of tea, the boy stepped forward to help Mr. Liang, who was somewhat drunk.
"I'm not drunk, what kind of wing are you going to?"
His voice was not loud, but his face looked a bit sulky.
The boy whispered a few words in his ear, and he saw a variety of emotions in his eyes, which finally turned into a deep sigh. He stood up and let the boy leave the table.
I thought that all this was done without leaving any trace, but unfortunately Feng Jinyao had already thought about it and naturally saw it all.
He quietly pulled Bai Siruo's sleeve, signaling to her that the show was about to begin.
Bai Siruo got her reminder and looked at Bai Sihan for the first time with sincerity in her eyes.
"My sister has lived in Qiongzhou for a long time. I'm afraid she has never visited the mansions in Dongdu City. The back garden of the Wei family is not ordinary. If you are interested, how about we take you for a walk?"
Today's banquet is not a formal banquet, so it's okay for the guests to move around.
Bai Sihan glanced sideways at where Wei Lanxuan and others were. They were busy talking to the princes and completely forgot about her. She felt anxious again and immediately replied, "Sister, you're kind, so I'll ask you to lead the way." Already."
"Let's go." Bai Siruo pulled Bai Sihan forward for the first time, but Xu Mingyue's eyes widened and she looked at Feng Jinyao with confusion.
After the Bai sisters took a few steps away, Xu Mingyue asked in a low voice.
"Girl Siruo, what are your plans?"
In her opinion, Bai Siruo's grievances are very clear. Since he and his cousin have already had a bad relationship, they will never rebuild the old relationship. This behavior must be fishy.
Feng Jinyao stepped forward and held her arm, and said close to her ear, "Sister, just wait and see the good show."
Xu Mingyue wondered what kind of medicine these two people were selling in their gourds.
A few people walked out of the waterside pavilion and bumped into Duke Wei. Standing next to them was none other than Prince Ding, Xiao Tingyi.
His sideburns were as sharp as a knife, his eyebrows were like ink paintings, his slightly thin body was wrapped in mink fur, and his face was unusually pale.
He always showed his sick body to others, but no one dared to look down upon him.
There are those who are timid and cannot even look at him.
Feng Jinyao didn't dare to slack off at all.
In her last life, she had heard praise and slander about him from many people. Such a person was never as calm and silent as he appeared on the surface, and a strong sense of fear arose in her heart.
"I've met the emperor's uncle, and I've met the Duke."
Bai Siruo was the first to react, and immediately took the remaining three people to say hello.
Xiao Tingyi raised his hand slightly, but did not speak.
At this moment, Duke Wei was like a kind old man, looking at the four people with a somewhat gentle expression.
"The county master doesn't need to be polite, where are you going?"
"The garden at the Duke's residence is also very beautiful in winter. My sisters and I plan to take a stroll."
"Very good, very good. Do you want me to arrange for someone to accompany you?"
"Thank you so much, Mr. Guo, for your kindness. We are just going around the area, there is no need to send anyone to lead the way."
The areas connected to the back garden, the front hall, and the back yard were guarded by servants, so there was no fear of them breaking in by mistake.
In addition, there were many young ladies gathering outside the waterside pavilion, so Duke Wei was not suspicious.
Bai Siruo had always been afraid of the seventeenth emperor's uncle, so after getting the approval of Duke Wei, he quickly left with the three of them.
Bai Sihan had only seen the rumored Prince Ding once from a distance at the banquet, but now that he saw him face to face, he was actually fascinated by his appearance.
He boldly looked back at Xiao Tingyi, but was frightened by the indifference in his eyes. For some reason, he felt a little colder on his body.
Suddenly, Mr. Wen's face popped into his mind. He was so masculine and gentle, he was a good match.
Prince Ding, I am a sick man and I don’t think he will live long. Forget it, it’s better not to provoke him.
Seeing their hurried away figures, Xiao Tingyi got used to it.
For so many years, he has never cared about any woman in his heart, so that rumors gradually spread outside that he was not close to women. Unfortunately, this did not allow him to marry a wife and take concubines to prove his reputation.
Therefore, there is no mistress in Prince Ding's palace except for the maids who serve.
Instead, Feng Jinyao's back fell into his eyes.
She was a strange person. She did good deeds without leaving her name behind, but when she saw him, she was as wary as if she wanted to run away.
Could it be that this girl Bai Siruo said something in front of her?
"Your Majesty, please come this way."
Just as he was thinking about it, he was interrupted by Duke Wei's words. He looked back at her and followed her into the waterside pavilion.
In the waterside pavilion, the eldest prince and the sixth prince were talking happily, but the ninth prince beside him was drinking wine by himself. Liang Luo was closer to him, and it was inevitable that he felt a little more distressed when he saw him like this.
Strangely enough, compared to the eldest prince and the sixth prince next to him, this ninth prince is actually a little more uncertain.
But she still likes this kind of temperament. If it weren't for Wei Lanxuan...
I'm afraid that she still wants to compete, but now, Wei Lanxuan is about to enter the Ninth Prince's Mansion and become the main concubine. If she succumbs to being a side concubine, I'm afraid even this bit of sisterhood will be wasted.
.
At that time, the Liang family will definitely suffer crazy revenge from the Wei family, and such a result is not something she can bear.
Therefore, if you like this idea, you can only keep it deep in your heart, hide it in the deepest part of your eyes, and not be discovered by anyone.
When Duke Wei Guo and Xiao Tingyi walked in, the Sixth Prince happened to see them.
"The emperor's uncle is here, and so is the Duke."
His tone was full of respect and intimacy, and he didn't dare to be disrespectful.
Similarly, the eldest prince and the ninth prince also stood up respectfully. Even though the uncle was similar in age to them, due to their seniority and the ace in his hand, they did not dare to slight him.
"Uncle Emperor, Duke of the Kingdom."
"Uncle, grandpa."
"Yes." Xiao Tingyi was used to being cold and indifferent. Even when he saw her at a palace banquet, he just said hello, and his words were cherished like gold, which made people grit their teeth.
