Seeing Shen Rui's brows slightly frowning, the second lady Lin Xueyao quickly put on a kind smile and said: "The eldest lady really means it. It's rare to have dinner with the sisters on weekdays. I heard that the master is back and came here..."
This sentence inadvertently reminded Shen Rui how Wei Zijin didn't like to see other concubines on weekdays. As expected, Shen Rui quickly recovered from the previous shock and nodded coldly: "Since we are here, let's sit down together. Let’s have a meal!”
When Wei Zijin heard this, he randomly picked a seat and sat down. Shen Rui thought that she would sit next to him without hesitation, but he didn't expect that she picked a seat far away from him and sat down, and raised her eyebrows in surprise.
Could it be that Wei Zijin, who he had not seen for a while and was so unruly that he avoided him, had really changed his temper?!
"Sir, try this Yunxiang sliced ham. I specially asked the cook to make it. Let's see if it can compare with the Jiangnan dish..." The fourth lady Liu Yiyi is the one who is least afraid of getting close to Shen Rui in front of everyone. Rui also liked her Wu Nong's soft words and charming manner, and happily accepted her attentive service. He never forgot to nod and smile: "It tastes good, but it's still not as good as Jiangnan!"
Seeing Liu Yiyi return to Shangshu Mansion and clinging to Shen Rui so blatantly, the other ladies felt uncomfortable.
"My sister is lucky enough to be able to travel to the south of the Yangtze River with me. I, the concubines, can only stay at home and try this imitating Jiangnan cuisine!" The third lady, Lu Xiyun, said first, with a rather sour tone.
Hearing this, Liu Yiyi became even more proud, almost leaning into Shen Rui's arms: "It's a pity that my sister won't go to Jiangnan. Master, let's have another bowl of shrimp soup..."
Lu Xiyun was so angry that she glared, but she didn't dare to face Liu Yiyi in front of Shen Rui. He just sneered and said to Shen Rui: "Master, if you have a chance in the future, don't forget to bring a few of my concubines to see you. So knowledgeable!"
"Yes, this time, I didn't even bring the eldest lady, but brought Sister Liu!" Lin Xueyao also pretended to be jealous and echoed Lu Xiyun. Although she said it to Shen Rui, she meant to eat food silently. Wei Zijin listened!
It was also the first time that Wei Zijin saw the fourth lady Liu Yiyi. Looking at her delicate and charming appearance, it was not difficult to understand why Shen Rui took her on a long journey alone!
Most men like women like this...
However, Lin Xueyao made a mistake, thinking that if she said this deliberately, she would become powerful enough to deal with Liu Yiyi?!
Wei Zijin just smiled noncommittally and did not respond. He looked at these women jealous of Shen Rui and stayed out of it, continuing to enjoy her dinner.
However, Shen Rui could see her calm and calm appearance.
Such an uncharacteristic Wei Zijin confused Shen Rui. Because of his confusion, he didn't even know what Liu Yiyi said while leaning against him, so he just looked at Wei Zijin and was entranced for a moment.
"I haven't seen you for a while, why have you lost so much weight?" Shen Rui said this to Wei Zijin out of nowhere. As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's attention was focused on Wei Zijin.
Even Wei Zijin was stunned. He didn't expect that Shen Rui would notice him when surrounded by a group of women. He replied calmly: "I must have been deceived. I have always been like this..."
Seeing that Shen Rui's attention was finally diverted from Liu Yiyi, the second lady Lin Xueyao took advantage of the opportunity and said with a smile: "I don't know something. When I left, the eldest lady has been lingering on the sickbed, and later she even fainted once..."
