Chapter 27
Gu Shi was not comforted by Xiao Hong at all, she frowned, "Jingnan Prince's Mansion sent a spring banquet post to the family, which shows that he likes the master! Similarly, it is also a blessing for Ruan'er and Ying'er who are about to reach their age. It's a good thing! However, Ying'er is now grounded, and I made the old lady and the young lady angry again. When the time comes, the old lady will be angry, so why not release Ying'er? Stupid and lost the opportunity to participate in this banquet?"

As she spoke, Mrs. Gu seemed to have foreseen the sad scene of her daughter, and suddenly choked up and sobbed.

Xiao Hong stroked her long hair affectionately, not aware of the bias in Gu's words at all, Xiao Ruan was invited by name for the spring banquet, but nothing happened to Xiao Ying.However, from Gu's words, it seems that the Jingnan Palace sent the invitation card for Xiao Hong's military minister's face, and the person who invited was also the daughter of the Xiao family's school age.

But what Xiao Hong and Mrs. Gu didn't know was that the spring banquet had always been hosted by the royal family and they were not afraid of offending people, so there was no talk of inviting a certain family, but only sending invitations to the invitees.Unless the invitee brings boudoir close friends or family members, no one is allowed to enter, and the number that can be brought is also limited to one person.

Just because he didn't know the twists and turns between these women, Xiao Hong didn't take it seriously. He really loved Xiao Ying, and felt that making friends with the Jingnan Palace would be more conducive to his official career, so he said, "Why is this so? You don't have to worry, I'll tell Ruan'er tomorrow night that as long as she doesn't get angry with Ying'er, the old lady can only hope for her own daughter's well-being. What's more, Ying'er has been confined for a few days, so I think it's about the same."

Hearing Xiao Hong's promise, Gu's heart was immediately relieved, and the two of them had a lot of tenderness after that, let's not mention it for the time being.

In the evening of the next day, Xiao Hong specially sent someone to ask Xiao Ruan to have dinner together, so as to cultivate the relationship between father and daughter.

The old lady heard the wind but didn't know what was going on, so she comforted her infinitely, and only said to the maid beside her, "That's how it should be. Which family is not a loving father and a filial son, sharing a family relationship, it's rare for Hong'er to think about it."

However, Xiao Ruan didn't think that Xiao Hong wanted to have a belated father's love. Xiao Ruan, who had experienced the previous life, was all the more vigilant against this sudden order.

Sure enough, before the meal was finished that night, Xiao's father said to Xiao Ruan in a natural tone, "Ruan'er, the spring feast is approaching, and those who want to come to your girl's house should also prepare some dresses and jewelry. Understood, just ask Aunt Gu for anything you want to prepare. Naturally, the delicate daughter of my Xiao family has to dress up beautifully! Also, Yinger has been grounded for a few days, and you, as the first sister, have to be more magnanimous , don’t worry about her. The spring banquet is coming soon, so you should also talk to your grandmother so that Ying’er can get ready too! So as not to miss the good time at your daughter’s house!”

Over there, Mrs. Gu, who has been lowering her sense of presence since dinner, served tea and handed over water in a low-key manner, hurriedly said, "That's natural, sir, don't worry, if you treat anyone harshly, you can't treat our delicate girl harshly! "

Xiao Ruan was about to be laughed out of anger, so she said how her father remembered that he wanted to have dinner with her today, so that's what happened!
Gu's is also capable, she admires her from the bottom of her heart, she can bend and stretch, she was still slandering her yesterday, but today she is able to lower her eyebrows and look down like this, so she is here waiting for her!
Xiao Ruan only felt that the anger in her heart was about to rush to Tianling Gai, so she tried her best to take a deep breath to suppress her anger.On the contrary, Xu Yu smiled brightly, the radiance on his face was like the clear sky after the rain, Xiao Hong and Gu Shi were both taken aback.

Gu's heart skipped a beat, but it was rare for Xiao Hong to see such a bright smile on this daughter.However, the next moment, Xiao Ruan's words seemed to slap Xiao Hong across the face, causing a burning pain.

"Father's words are interesting. This spring banquet is held by a high-ranking wife of the royal family. They always only send invitations to the parties, but there is no reason for the whole family to go together. I don't care about this matter. Ying'er is forbidden It doesn't matter if you can't help it." Xiao Ruan put down her chopsticks slowly, took a handkerchief and lightly touched the corners of her mouth to hide the lingering sarcasm on her lips.

Xiao Hong glanced at Gu's, as if he wanted to eat people.

A patriarchal man like him has always dismissed the affairs of the rear house, so naturally he would not go out of his way to learn about the so-called spring feast.

Even so, he knew that since the banquet was held by a high-ranking wife of the royal family, it must not be a trivial matter.

For example, the gatherings organized by their courtiers generally have certain hidden rules, and even involve the issue of standing in line.

Although the banquet at the youngest daughter's house was not of this level, since invitations were only sent to the parties concerned, if people were rashly brought in, it might offend the host, and even become a laughing stock.

How could Xiao Hong, who always valued face very much, allow such a thing to happen.

It was also the first time for Mrs. Gu to hear such a thing. She was originally the daughter of a small family, and when she was in the boudoir, she didn't even know what the spring banquet was.It was only later that I learned about it, but I only knew that the spring banquet was an extremely important banquet for the daughter's family to choose a husband and wife in the future, but they didn't know the specific situation inside.

Even so, Mrs. Gu is used to pretending. When her expression changed, tears welled up in her eyes, and she hurriedly got up and took the matter on herself, "Miss, this is all my fault, not my master!"

"The concubine originally heard from the servant girl that the two daughters of the Minister of Rites' family also received an invitation to the spring banquet, but they both wanted to go. That's why I thought that the invitation was for family members. They are all concubines. I didn't figure it out, thinking that Ying'er could lift the ban in advance and go out to relax, so I mentioned it to the master. You know that the master never asks about such things, so I really don't blame your father!"

Xiao Ruan saw that Xiao Hong, who was still annoyed, showed some signs of softening, and even showed some distress.Xiao Ruan snorted softly, her heart was indifferent, and she didn't give her father any face, "Oh, really? But my aunt knows that even so, the invitation card for the spring banquet was seen by Princess Jingnan. It was given to me for my family's sake, but it has nothing to do with the Xiao family!"

This was like stabbing a hornet's nest. Not only Gu's face was ugly, but Xiao Hong's face was flushed with anger. Come out, you are such a disrespectful and unfilial girl!"

Xiao Hong couldn't see the Lu family pressing on him the most, what's more, last night he was still proud of the Jingnan Palace's regard for him, even though he knew that today was such a slap in the face, how could he not be angry!

"Climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix", huh, Xiao Ruan didn't even bother to show it with a sneer, is this referring to her or her natal family?She raised her head, her gaze was clear, "If you say that I climb the dragon and attach to the phoenix, then since you know that it is an invitation from the Jingnan Palace, what will you say about my father who still wants me to take Xiao Ying to participate?"

"You, you..." Xiao Hong was so angry that he couldn't breathe, he held his chest and glared at Xiao Ruan.

Gu Shi was startled immediately, and hurriedly helped Xiao Hong, giving him comfort.He also looked at Xiao Ruan with a condemning gaze, crying in his voice, "This is all my fault, the eldest lady is free to beat and scold at will, how can she be so disrespectful to the master!"

Xiao Ruan stood up, met Gu Shi's gaze, walked in front of her, raised her hand and pinched Gu Shi's jaw, Gu Shi suffered from pain, but was stared at by Xiao Ruan's cold gaze, just listening to Xiao Ruan's " Tsk tsk" twice, "It's really pear blossoms with rain, I see you pity!"

After finishing speaking, she let go of the hand that was holding Gu's chin, and wiped her fingers one by one with the handkerchief, as if she was very disgusted.

Gu's body was covered in cold sweat, following Xiao Ruan's loosening force, and he collapsed to the ground, while Xiao Hong, who had just recovered from his breath, stared at Xiao Ruan with his eyes angrily.

"Father, sometimes, I really want to open your heart to see if it's really out of shape! I went to the Spring Banquet with her, Xiao Ying, who is the delicate girl of the Xiao family, and I, Xiao Ruan, heh, Is it the one who climbs the dragon and attaches the phoenix?"

What Xiao Ruan said was ironic, as if it hit the most unbearable thought in Xiao Hong's heart, and Xiao Hong, who was already impatient, was even more furious. He grabbed the wine glass beside him and threw it at Xiao Ruan, "Get lost! I get out!"

Xiao Ruan turned her head to dodge, dropped the handkerchief, and walked towards her yard calmly.

However, no one knew that Xiao Ruan's last hope for his father was also wiped out this night.

"Master!" After Xiao Ruan left, Mrs. Gu recovered from the situation just now, and immediately threw herself on Xiao Hong and cried!She never thought that Xiao Ruan would become like this, she was completely different from the naive, ignorant and stupid lady she was able to grasp before.As for how all of this happened, Gu felt at a loss.

"Master, it's all my fault. My concubine shouldn't let, let my master..." She bit her lip, "Suffering such a humiliation!" There was a lot of coldness, and there was only one thought in his mind: Xiao Ruan cannot be allowed to gain power just like this!
Xiao Hong stretched out his hand to pinch Gu's hand, feeling anxious in his heart. What he hated the most in his life was the strict noble lady like Xiao Ruan's mother. He stood in front of her like a humble ant, unable to catch her eyes. .

Therefore, he doted on his concubine and killed his wife, and did not give his first wife the respect she deserved.He has always been proud of it, no matter how noble you are, you are not a woman who is ignored by men!
But now Xiao Ruan poked at the most secret thing in the center, he seemed to be stripped of all his clothes, naked, how could he not become angry from embarrassment.

One failed to control, Xiao Hong's strength increased, and Gu exclaimed in pain.Following the voice, Xiao Hong raised his eyes to look, his eyes were empty, completely devoid of previous feelings, which made Gu Shi who was facing him shudder.

Xiao Hong seemed to have just recovered, he relaxed his strength, comforted Mrs. Gu, his eyes regained the warmth of the past, but his tone was cold, "This rebellious girl, she dares to be so arrogant, isn't it because of her natal family and This spring feast? Go and check to see if only one person is allowed to participate in the spring feast?"
