After I stopped being a lady from a rich family, I fought all over the capital

Chapter 345 Banquet
"what?"

Snatched right from your eyes?!

Can it still be like this? !
The boy was now certain that the person in front of him was the fairy who had given them meat buns that day and advised him to turn back from the wrong path!

"My Fairy Lady!"

He already knew that the lady who was supposedly on good terms with his mother had a good-for-nothing son who was now serving the immortal. He had been instructed to come here specifically to find the remains of his mother and father and to prepare them for burial.

He initially thought it was a coincidence.

Unexpectedly, it really is a fairy!
"Thank you, Fairy Goddess, for collecting and burying my mother and father..." The boy sobbed uncontrollably, his heart filled with grievances, which he could no longer hold back at this moment.

He recalled how, upon hearing the news of his mother and father's accident, their relatives immediately turned ruthless and expelled the four brothers from their home.

He also thought about how powerless he had been during this period. He could not even protect his younger siblings to keep them alive, let alone find his mother and father's remains for burial.

He even took his younger siblings to several places, but they still couldn't find the bodies of their mother and father.

They also have to worry that some people might be uneasy and want to wipe them out.

These days of trepidation and exhaustion are like a flood bursting forth, with pent-up grievances surging forth.

"From now on, Shangheng will definitely serve you like an ox or a horse to repay your kindness."

Song Lan said calmly, "I took the lychees you were eyeing in exchange for finding and burying your mother and father's bodies. Now, we're even."

"You don't need to add any more shackles to yourself."

The boy was momentarily at a loss, wondering if he was too incompetent, which was why the fairy was unwilling to let him stay and serve her.
Song Lan didn't say much, and sent Liu Wu to rest.

Liu Wu said "Hey," and then took the little ones with him and settled them in.

Two more days passed,
Song Lan remained languid, listening to music, watching dances, eating snacks, and drinking tea, passing the time without any particular emotion.

Around noon, the housekeeper came over and delivered an invitation to her.

This is the lychee banquet held at the Princess's residence. This is the second banquet held at the Princess's residence since the spring banquet.

Every household in the capital that received the invitation took it very seriously.

They all agreed to get together, some to make jewelry, others to tailor clothes.

I don't need to dazzle everyone, but at least I can't lose face and become the laughing stock of everyone in Beijing.

The Xue family, of course, was no exception.

Given the Xue family's current desire to keep a low profile, they might have to decline an invitation from an ordinary family.

However, the Xue family would never even consider attending the banquet hosted by the Princess's residence; they would absolutely have to go.

I've heard that not only will the princes and dukes attend this lychee banquet, but the emperor himself is also very likely to be present.

The Xue family, eager to advance their careers, were not about to let this opportunity slip by.

Even if you can't see the emperor, if you can establish a relationship with the eldest princess, why worry about not being able to enter the palace in the future?
Among the Xue family members, Xue Wan was the most enthusiastic and caring.

Jiao Bubai also heard the news and knew that the Princess's residence was going to hold a lychee banquet.

Given his official position, it's unlikely he'll have the opportunity to receive an invitation.

These days, he has tried every possible way to see Song Lan.

But without exception, they were all rejected.

Jiao Bubai was extremely frustrated. After thinking it over and over, he finally went to see the Prefect of Jingzhao.

"...This matter is definitely not that simple, we can't give up now! The Princess's residence is hosting a banquet, and you'll definitely be invited. Please take me with you! Just so I can broaden my horizons!"
