After sitting there for a long time, Tong Yan didn't see any suspicious person, but he did wait for the missing Xiao Lou and a strange girl.
She heard that it was the woman they saved that night, so she knew who it was. The girl might have bumped into the two of them by chance and came to say thank you.
Tong Yan didn't think too much and invited people to sit down and eat. After the meal, he learned that Xu Wen also wanted to put out sky lanterns, so they walked around together for a while and put out sky lanterns.
After putting out the lanterns, it was getting late. Tong Yan and the others were preparing to meet at the Yi Mansion, so they said goodbye to Xu Wen.
In the Yi Mansion, the servants and maids were busy without touching the floor, because the dinner party was about to start, and the guests from far away were seated one by one.
The banquet started in the front hall, with singing and dancing. At the beginning, everyone gathered together to congratulate the host's family and witness the appointment of the young master of the Yi family. Afterwards, the crowd scattered in the garden, corridors, pavilions and other places to enjoy the scenery, chat, make friends, and have meals.
, the atmosphere is lively and harmonious.
Tong Yan didn't like too many people, so she found a waterside pavilion and sat down. She drank a glass of wine when we toasted together before, but she didn't want to have too much energy. Not to mention her face, she was also a little dizzy.
She put her arms on the railing and leaned her head on it. Looking at the sky from this position, she could see countless prayer lanterns floating in the night sky in the distance.
One after another, they are almost like the stars in the sky.
A cup of tea was handed to her.
"Sister Yan, drink some hot tea to warm yourself up."
Tong Yan took the tea slowly and looked towards the other side of the lake. There were a lot of people there, and there were a lot of things to eat and play.
"Azhan, go and play. What's the point of staying here?"
"I'm Xi Jing, so I'd better stay here with you."
Tong Yan raised his eyebrows and said in a lazily voice, "I have something to accompany you. Go and play. If you encounter something delicious, bring me some."
At the end of the sentence, she reached out and pushed him, urging him to go.
He Zhan didn't want to leave, but she couldn't say no despite her repeated urging. In the end, he planned to go out for a walk, get some food and come back.
I just didn't expect that not long after He Zhan left, several people entered the waterside pavilion.
There were several people coming, and they were talking a bit noisily. Tong Yan touched his ears and was too lazy to get up and change places, so he just sat in the original position, motionless, and didn't even look back to see who the people were.
When they were on the other side of the lake, they noticed that the waterside pavilion was in a good location, quiet and had a good view. It was perfect for them and the sisters to sit and chat.
I thought there was no one here, but when I came in I realized there was someone inside. However, this was nothing. After inviting people out, the space was naturally freed up.
They were of high status, and no one would refuse to give them face. Thinking of this, the maid behind them came up to chase them away with a hint of intelligence.
"Our young ladies need to use this place. If you are smart, get out immediately." The maid's words were a bit arrogant, which made Tong Yan very curious as to whose maid could be so arrogant.
She slowly turned her head and saw the leader in front of the ladies, Cui Minmin again.
"What a coincidence." Although I knew that the two of them would definitely meet at the banquet, I didn't expect to meet in this way.
Cui Minmin frowned subconsciously when she saw that it was Tong Yan. She just learned in the afternoon that her martial arts value was not low, and later it was found out that this person's identity was not low. Although she didn't know who she was, she still knew that she was the guest invited by Yi Wei.
Cui Minmin glanced at the woman standing next to her out of the corner of her eye. She turned her eyes and said angrily, "Why is it you again? In the afternoon, you slapped my sister twice on the pretext that you were a guest of the Yi family.
For the sake of cousin Wei, I won’t argue with you, but now you want to monopolize this waterside pavilion, it’s too much.”
She talked a lot of nonsense, Tong Yan's slow thinking was slightly confused, she was too lazy to care about beating someone in the afternoon, but she was very satisfied with the waterside pavilion and didn't want to move.
That girl was so arrogant just now, so I had to give it up to them.
"I'm here first, you can either sit down or leave." There's no reason that as soon as they come, someone else has to make room for her.
She said this to Cui Minmin. She didn't want the first person to be angry, but it was the woman next to her.
"When did it become the turn of an outsider to make the decision in our Yi family?" The woman looked at Tong Yan with a cold look on her face, her face gloomy, and she looked uncomfortable.
"Who are you?" Tong Yan was still drunk and spoke with a silly slowness. In the eyes of others, this slowness was tantamount to provocation and arrogance.
"I am the young lady of the Yi Mansion and the master. You are just a guest, but you are so arrogant and arrogant in my house!" Yi Jingjing said sarcastically.
"Miss Yifu? Isn't Miss Yifu Awei?" Tong Yan thought about it for a moment and suddenly said, "You are a collateral lady, right?"
It was originally a question, but it immediately ignited Miss Yi's temper. Tong Yan was right, Yi Jingjing was the daughter of the Yi family's cousin, and her identity was completely different from that of a direct daughter like Yi Wei.
Yi Jingjing's face turned cold instantly. What she hated most in her life was that she was not a direct descendant and would always be inferior to Yi Wei.
At this moment, Tong Yan's words hit her heart, and when she learned that this person was Yi Wei's friend, how could she let her go.
"How dare you use the name of my Yi family to act arrogantly? If I don't teach you a lesson today and give my cousin Cui family justice, how will others treat my Yi family in the future!" Yi Jingjing took out the spiritual whip wrapped around her waist and said,
Without saying a word, he called Tong Yan.
Cui Minmin took a step back in time, with a faint smile on her lips, and her eyes were filled with success. She didn't know exactly who the people in the Yi family were at odds with, and who they were good friends with, but she knew a little bit, especially Yi Wei and
Yi Jingjing's grudges were enough for her to teach a child a lesson.
Tong Yan grabbed one end of the whip, with a bit of confusion in his eyes, "Why do you want to hit someone? How have I offended you?"
Yi Jingjing found that she couldn't take back the whip and her face was ashen. At this time, Cui Minmin added fuel to the fire, "This person's cultivation is very good. Cousin Jing, you are no match for her. Let's forget it. Don't fight her.
Give this waterside pavilion to her."
Yi Jingjing's second point is bound to burn if touched. She is arrogant and arrogant, and cannot tolerate others saying that she is inferior to others.
As soon as she said this, Yi Jingjing retracted her whip in anger, but Tong Yan let go in time, causing Yi Jingjing to take several steps back.
Cui Minmin deliberately exclaimed: "Ah, cousin Jing, be careful!"
"Damn it!" Yi Jingjing angrily beat Tong Yan away. Tong Yan thought that this person was a member of the Yi family and Yi Wei's sister, so she did not fight back and only defended herself.
However, when someone tried to beat him or kill him for no reason, Tong Yan also lost his temper. He tried to stop him a few times and said impatiently: "If you can't talk about something properly, why don't you hit me?"
Yi Jingjing's whip was stepped on by Tong Yan, and she almost fell to the ground. Her embarrassed appearance made Yi Jingjing go further and she yelled into the darkness.
"You dog slaves, didn't you see someone attacking this lady? Come out and catch her!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several men actually appeared a few steps away. However, they did not take action as soon as they appeared. Instead, they looked at Tong Yan in embarrassment and said to Yi Jingjing: "I'm sorry, Miss Fourth, this girl is the young master."
My friend, we can’t take action against her.”
Yi Wei was able to step into Qinan Courtyard and stayed there for nearly half an hour. This was nothing short of shocking news in the Yi Mansion.
Over the years, who doesn't know that the eldest young master doesn't like the young lady, so much so that he never lets her set foot in his yard.
But just a few days ago, the lady got her wish!
All the servants, with various thoughts, went to inquire about the inside story. It turned out that the young lady was able to go in only because there was a woman accompanying her at the time.
"What!" Yi Jingjing was shocked and angry when she heard this, and then cursed, "She is just a friend of an illegitimate child. How dare you disobey my order? Get her now!"
If she and Yi Wei dislike each other and are one-sidedly jealous, then they have complete contempt and disdain for Ji Xing.
She is just a motherless illegitimate child who has occupied the position of direct descendant for decades. Now, she has usurped her brother's position as the young master, leaving her without the opportunity to become the direct descendant.
Yi Jingjing wanted to tear that person apart and then throw him to the dogs!
The words "illegitimate child" entered Tong Yan's ears. Her eyes froze, her aura changed, she reached out and pulled Yi Jingjing, then threw it into the lake.
There was a bang and countless splashes of water.
"ah!"
"What are you doing!" There were screams in the water pavilion. Tong Yan glanced at them coldly and turned a deaf ear.
People on the other side were attracted by the huge sound of falling water and gathered on the shore.
They were shouting, "Look, someone has fallen into the water!"
"Who fell into the water? Who?"
"Go down quickly and save her personally."
"It's the Fourth Miss! Someone come and save the Fourth Miss!" It was the maid of the Yi Mansion who recognized Yi Jingjing first and hurriedly called for help.
Tong Yan not only threw the person into the water, but also set up a restraint to prevent the few guards on the shore who watched him do it with their own eyes from trying to rescue her. He had to force Yi Jingjing to drink a few more mouthfuls of lake water before letting her go.
Since your mouth smells bad, drink two more mouthfuls of water to remove the smell.
