Cheng Li immediately smiled and said, "What's wrong? You don't listen to your second brother now?"
Yun Qiao didn't know what happened to herself.
In short, she was very unassertive in front of Xi Lanting. She had to listen to him in everything, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
Uncle Qi is like this, making people sink when they are around him and just want to be his puppet.
Yun Qiao smiled awkwardly, her eyes still on Xi Lanting.
Cheng Li's expression was expressionless and his smile was gone.
Xi Lanting put out the cigarette casually and raised his eyes slightly. Under the light, his pupils were slightly shallow, and there was no emotion in them. He said, neither salty nor light, "I want red wine."
After Yun Qiao got the imperial edict, he asked Cheng Li: "What do you want to drink, second brother?"
The second brother was in a very complicated mood. At the moment, he just wanted a strong drink: "I want whiskey."
She nodded, turned around and went out, kindly closing the door for them.
Yun Qiao knew how to look, and was not a rash little girl. She knew that Cheng Li was going to send her away, and Xi Lanting agreed, so she had better delay for a while and not rush back.
People don’t really want to drink.
In the southwest corner of the banquet hall, a huge Atlantic clock hung. It was nine forty at this time.
"I'll go in at ten o'clock."
She planned to survive these twenty minutes.
There were not many people in the banquet hall, but there were still people at the main table.
Someone came towards her.
It turned out to be Xi Wenlan.
Xi Wenlan smiled sweetly: "Yun Qiao, where did you go just now? I couldn't find you all night."
Yun Qiao: "I sit farther back."
Xi Wenlan didn't take it seriously and pointed to the main table: "Grandma saw you and asked you to go over and talk."
Yun Qiao nodded.
In addition to the old lady, there were also the governor's wife, Aunt Hao, and another noble lady at the main table.
The noble lady wore a rose and purple richly embroidered cheongsam and a pearl necklace, which was full of pearls and made her cheeks white and plump, beautiful and gentle.
She is about thirty years old, with a slim waist and well-maintained body.
"This is Yun Qiao." The old lady took Yun Qiao's hand and introduced her to Aunt Hao and the noble lady.
Then, the old lady told Yun Qiao about Aunt Hao, and then about the noble lady: "This is the third concubine of the Zhu family."
Zhu Longtou's first wife has been dead for many years. He currently has four concubines and numerous mistresses.
Among his four concubines, the third concubine was carried in on a dragon and phoenix sedan. Although she was not a continuation in name, she was actually the same as a continuation.
When the Zhu family socializes, it is always the third concubine who comes forward.
Both within the Zhu family and the dignitaries in Yancheng, everyone regarded Third Aunt as Mrs. Zhu.
However, she scolded someone who insisted on calling her "ma'am".
The reason was that Zhu Longtou's legitimate wife was still alive when she entered the family, but Zhu's mother did not agree. She considered herself a concubine, and that was how she got the opportunity to enter.
I heard that she got off the dragon and phoenix sedan chair and instead of worshiping Zhu Longtou, she knelt directly to her critically ill first wife.
Now, Zhu Longtou's first wife has passed away, and his old mother has also passed away. She should have been called Mrs. Zhu, but I don't know whether she is out of spite or because she has a conscience. She sticks to her old promise and still calls herself Mrs. Zhu.
"The one she's afraid of should be Zhu Yucheng." Yun Qiao would think so every time she heard these gossips.
Zhu Yucheng is not an idle young man.
No matter how the outside world views him, he has a place in the Qinggang. If Zhu Longtou does not have this son to help him, his authority will be greatly reduced.
The first wife's son is still alive and living a powerful life. If the third aunt dares to call herself "Mrs.", she is provoking the eldest young master.
Smart people wouldn't do this.
"Miss Yunqiao." The third aunt smiled softly.
The "mistress" of the Zhu family naturally knows Yun Qiao's identity. However, no one who is not a disciple of Granny Xiao dares to expose Yun Qiao's identity easily.
"Hello." Yun Qiao greeted the third aunt.
"How have you been lately? How are your food and accommodation habits?" asked the third aunt.
The old lady, the governor's wife and Hao Wanyun all looked at the third concubine.
