Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 608 Shen Luoxin holds a banquet

Not long after You Lingxi returned to the house, she received an invitation from the Shen family.

"The Shen family...?" Shen Lewei is now living in the East Palace. If she holds a banquet, she must hold it in the East Palace. Only in this way can she spread the news that she has moved into the East Palace to everyone. This banquet of the Shen family... rubbed the invitation in her hand. , she was not in a hurry to check in, and just asked the servant, "Did Miss Shen family have someone deliver it?"

"Yes." The servant nodded and said, "Princess Princess, do you want to participate?" According to the rules, I formally sent the invitation to the post. If I decided to go here, I would have to reply to the post today so that the other party could see the number of people. Arranged in advance.

If you don't attend, you don't need to pay attention to this invitation.

If things had gone by in the past, the princess would never have attended such a banquet—the Shen family was weak, and the eldest daughter of the Shen family had a taboo biological mother. Any girl of some status would not have attended such a banquet. The servant had made up his mind and was about to bow down when he heard You Lingxi say "hmm", "I have nothing to do tomorrow, so let's go and take a look."

Somewhat unexpectedly, the servant hunched his back and looked at You Lingxi quietly, and responded in a low voice, "Yes... I will send the post back to the Shen family right now."

If it were normal, You Lingxi would naturally not attend such a banquet, but this time is different from the past. She secretly took away her father's token and sent the little-known secret guard of Dali Temple Qing to Li Yuqi's hands. He was standing on the opposite side of Ji Wuyan in a real sense.From that moment on, she had become an official enemy of Ji Wuyan—and Shen Luoxin.

Ji Wuyan will definitely go to Shen Luoxin's banquet.

In addition, the last vague words she heard from the prince just now - the prince said that he wanted to destroy this gifted marriage, and Ji Wuyan played a major role in it. She always felt that something was fishy and wanted to find out the truth face to face. By the way, I want to verify whether Ji Wuyan is the young master of the Ji family... If so, I can't be the leader openly, so I might as well hide in the background and let the prince and Ji Wuyan go about their business.

If not... I would openly target Ji Wuyan a lot, and my performance in front of the prince would be regarded as a favor to the East Palace.

No matter what the truth is, I have to go to tomorrow's banquet.

……

The next day.

The rain has not stopped. Although the rain is not heavy, the pattering is still annoying. Coupled with the sudden drop in temperature, most of the pedestrians on the road have suddenly disappeared.

Not a good weather day for a banquet.This was the first time Shen Luoxin held a banquet. When Shen Qian found out, he said with a tigerish face, "Nonsense!", but in the end he didn't really stop her. Instead, he privately told his aunt that if there was anything she could do to help, she would try her best. Help, don't let this little girl be embarrassed the first time she holds a banquet... Although, he has already expected that the people who can come to the banquet are probably Ji Wuyan, Shen Lewei... Shen Lewei or Shen Qian Here, a servant was sent to the East Palace to give an "ultimatum", telling her that if she didn't want to really sever the relationship between father and daughter, she should attend the banquet hosted by her sister tomorrow.

To Shen Qian's surprise and Shen Luoxin's surprise, he received the first reply before nightfall, from the You family.

It's just that the servants of the You family came to send this reply in a very low-key manner holding a black oil-paper umbrella. They didn't even know where the carriage was parked, as if they were guilty of treason.Therefore, the fact that Princess Lingxi agreed to attend the Shen family's banquet did not spread in Yanjing City. The girls who received Shen Luoxin's invitation were still afraid of Shen Lewei who had now climbed up to the East Palace and did not dare to accept Shen Luoxin's invitation. Xin's invitation.

Therefore, in the end, except for the unexpected You Lingxi, no one else came as Shen Qian had predicted.Fortunately, the purpose of Shen Luoxin's banquet was not really to enjoy the flowers or to make friends with the noble ladies in the city. It was just as long as the main character arrived. Without those chattering wallflowers, this matter would be easier to handle. .

There is nothing to prepare for a banquet for four people, except for making a few more exquisite and beautiful dishes and snacks.Although the aunt was willing to help after Shen Qian's instructions, there was no one in the dining room who could get involved. She walked around the back garden again and saw that the maids were already ready, and it was not her turn to welcome the guests. The concubine came forward, so I walked around the house but couldn't find any place that could help. Finally, thinking that Shen Lewei was coming back, I went to cook and make snacks myself.

Shen Lewei arrived late, almost at the same time as You Lingxi. Ji Wuyan had already arrived, and Jingfeng had also arrived.

The half-year-old child was very familiar with him. It didn't take long for him to make everyone in the Shen family smile. When he came back, his pockets were already stuffed with a lot of snacks... He probably walked around the dining room. Eat, while telling Ji Wuyan which sister gave it to her, which nanny gave it to her, and my aunt... The habit of being picky in Yunzhou has been curtailed a lot in Yanjing City. When eating, if it tastes good, praise it to the point of heaven and earth. If it doesn’t taste good, praise it too. After you praise it, just walk around a bit next time.

Shen Luoxin also knew this habit of his. Seeing him placing the snacks on the table one by one, she smiled and teased him, "There are so many...it's hard for you to remember who gave them one by one." I don’t know what year or month I came back from here, maybe the sister and grandma you miss so much have left here to find another job, so don’t forget it.”

But I heard him shaking his head "hmm" and pointing to the plum blossom cake beside him, "That was given by my aunt. It smells delicious. Will my aunt leave here too?"

He really didn't understand what aunt meant. There was no "aunt" in the Ji family. Even if he met someone else's aunt in Yunzhou on weekdays, Ji Wuyan would only ask him to call him "aunt". No one had ever explained to him "aunt". What is the identity of "aunt"?When Shen Luoxin said this, she felt curious and confused from the bottom of her heart.

But Shen Lewei happened to hear it.

She didn't hear the cause and effect, but she came over and heard the child asking Shen Luoxin with her face raised seriously, even with some regret, "Will my aunt leave here too?" She already had problems with Shen Luoxin, and even more so with her. I had doubts about the purpose of the inexplicable arrangement of the banquet this time. When I heard these words, I became angry and angry, "Oh... is the eldest lady of the Shen family planning how to drive my aunt out of the house? Shen Luoxin , it was your mother-in-law who wanted to leave in the first place, but now she’s having a hard time judging people’s faces outside, so she wants to come back again? Does father know about this? "

The girl with her arms akimbo, dressed in gold and silver, stood there like a dazzling and proud peacock.
