I almost immediately understood that he recognized her.

Although I just heard Yang Jinyao talk about their encounter in a few words, I didn’t know what that moment meant to them. Just looking at his expression now, I knew that Wu Yanqiu had already recognized the lady in front of me, the strange man in men’s clothes and Guli.

Soon, he calmed down.

After all, after so many years of ups and downs in officialdom, he has seen too many big scenes, so he will not be too ruthless, but I can see that he frowned slightly.

Obviously, not everyone can accept such things as men dressed in women and swaggeringly.

At this time, Yang Jinyao had already walked straight to him.

"Sir Yang, we're meeting again."

Her voice was crisp and not loud, but it was enough to make Wu Yanqiu hide and unable to avoid it.

There seemed to be a faint wrinkle between Wu Yanqiu's eyebrows. At this time, he slowly stood up and faced her. However, before he could speak, a tall man next to him came over, walked to Yang Jinyao, and gently pulled her sleeve: "Jinyao!"

Wu Yanqiu then spoke with a light smile on his face: "Young Master Yunyi, this person is--"

That man was Mrs. Yuerong's eldest son, Yang Yunyi, now the first son of the Yang family, and he said respectfully: "Mr. Wu, don't be surprised. This is Jin Yao, Jin Yao, why did you run out randomly?"

"I heard that Lord Wu is here, I'll come to see the world!"

Yang Jinyao was not shy at all, and even raised her head and looked at Wu Yanqiu who was more than a little taller than her: "Why did Lord Wu come so late? The banquet is about to begin! You are so arrogant!"

"Jin Yao!"

Yang Yunyi's face changed, and he pulled her sleeve hard.

If Wu Yanqiu didn't understand what was going on at this time, it would be a waste of his years of ups and downs in the officialdom. Faced with Yang Jinyao's aggressiveness, his smile became more gentle and quiet, as if he was tolerant of all rivers, and he smiled and said, "Miss Jinyao. But something suddenly happened to the Ministry of Revenue this morning, and I went to deal with it. It was only after the banquet was late. I hope the lady would not blame him."

"How dare I blame you? You are the high-ranking official!"

"Miss is making fun of me."

"But, what is Mr. Wu busy with every day?"

"Eat the king's fortune and bear the king's worries."

"That must be very hard, right?"

"I dare not speak of my hardship."

"..." Yang Jinyao pouted, obviously very dissatisfied with the other party's official voice. She looked at Wu Yanqiu with a little resentment, and Wu Yanqiu became more and more calm when she met her eyes, unlike when she seemed to be at a loss when she saw her. Yang Jinyao seemed to be angry with his attitude. She bit her lower lip, and a displeasure appeared on her face: "I heard from Lord Wu that I feel as if I am willing to accept it!"

Wu Yanqiu laughed twice.

While laughing, he lowered his head and reached out to sort out his sleeves.

Looking at Yang Jinyao's angry look, he was not angry. He looked like he was looking at an ignorant little girl, with only tolerance and love, but he really couldn't get up at all.

After all, Yang Jinyao and him are not at the same level at all.

However, there are not so many evenly matched in this world.

Yang Jinyao may not fully understand, but that feeling is clear. Although the man in front of her face was facing her, he did not give his all. The feeling of being absent-minded and not being determined here is very clear. It makes people feel that every punch he punches on the cotton. Even if he uses all his strength, he will not get the other party’s response, which will make people go crazy.

Sure enough, when she looked at Wu Yanqiu, her eyes gradually turned red, while her lower lip, which was bitten hard by her upper teeth, gradually turned white.

Don't stare at her like this, Wu Yanqiu seemed to feel something, and looked at her with a slightly frown.

Just as they looked at each other silently, Yang Yunyi became more and more worried, especially in the hall, there were already many guests looking here. Although it was natural for the host to entertain guests, Yang Jinyao, a young lady who was not married, would inevitably gossip about Wu Yanqiu in broad daylight. Yang Yunyi subconsciously pulled her sleeve again, trying to make her feel a little more awake, and said softly: "Jinyao! Jinyao!"

Yang Jinyao ignored her brother's anxiety and still looked at Wu Yanqiu. After holding it in for a long time, she solemnly said: "Mr. Wu has to deal with so many things every day. The little woman dares to ask Mr. Wu, have you made any mistakes, or have you made any wrong decisions?"

Wu Yanqiu was slightly stern.

I immediately understood what Yang Jinyao said.

However, without waiting for Wu Yanqiu to answer, Yang Yunyi was already anxious. He finally pulled Yang Jinyao's sleeve desperately, pulled her behind him, and whispered: "What are you making trouble again!?"

"I didn't-"

"Jinyao, stop making trouble, let me go!"

After saying that, Yang Yunyi nodded and smiled apologetically at Wu Yanqiu, then dragged Yang Jinyao's arm and pulled her away. Yang Jinyao refused to accept it, but she could not break free from her brother's iron-plied arm. After a while, she was pulled and disappeared in front of the hall.

The pearl curtain was shaking, but the beautiful figure had disappeared behind the pearl light.

This is just a small episode in the hall today.

Some of the guests around also noticed this place, but they didn't hear clearly what they were saying, and not many people would know the reason. Only Mrs. Yuerong looked here from afar, with a deep brow and a worried look on her face.

I was still sitting in my hidden position, looking at Wu Yanqiu standing in place through the hollow carvings, and for a while, I seemed to have no response.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! Obviously, this episode was unexpected.

I saw him clearly and clearly, but his expression was somewhat confused. Looking straight ahead, Yang Jinyao had been pulled back to the back hall by Yang Yunyi. There were still some people around him whispering, and he didn't care much. After a while, he slowly sat down on the edge of the table.

After a while, I heard him muttering to himself—

"It's actually such a girl."

I couldn't help but look at him with a little serious expression.

When it comes to Yang Jinyao, she is indeed different from many official ladies. She is innocent, eccentric, and has a little bit of a man's straightforwardness and recklessness. Perhaps it may not meet most people's expectations for famous ladies, but as far as I myself still like such a sister very much.

I don’t know what Wu Yanqiu, as a man, thinks about “such a girl”.

However, maybe no matter what the view is, after all, he has pushed the marriage away by himself, and even now, I don’t see too much regret and regret on his face.

But after thinking for a while, he looked up again, glanced at the place where Yang Jinyao disappeared, as if he sighed lightly.

I looked at Wu Yanqiu quietly, but he didn't say anything anymore.

Time passed little by little.

I sat in this hidden space, the sun shone in from the hollow carvings, and I could see the lot of dust flying in the light, and I could feel the passage of time. The remaining guests arrived at the Yang Mansion one after another, and it became more and more lively. When everyone met, the sound of greetings and laughing could hardly even be heard. There were several ministers and the ministers who arrived at the scene. I knew that almost all the guests they invited had arrived.

I am familiar with these guests, but fortunately, they have little to do with my interests. Perhaps the most important ones are not intended to be invited by the Yang Mansion, or perhaps they themselves have their own concerns and do not intend to be present.

At least for now, this birthday party is peaceful.

As soon as the hour arrived, Yang Wanyun brought his wives, concubines, and children to entertain all the guests.

Of course, the seats of these guests were carefully arranged. After all, there are many schools in the court. Who can get along with whom and who can't get along with whom, and the seating arrangements are very particular. I saw those guests chatting with the people around me with satisfaction, and they all smiled. Obviously, Mrs. Hanyu arranged it very well this time.

Only Wu Yanqiu, as the Minister of Revenue, did not sit on the main table, but sat on the side table here. Yang Yunyi came to invite him several times, but he waved his hand to refuse, saying that he could talk to the people on the table and refused. After several times, Mrs. Hanyu had to give up.

However, Yang Jinyao sat there, her eyes were red, and she glared at her from time to time.

But at this time, my attention was no longer on them.

Seeing the sun reaching the center of the sky, it was the time to start. I looked out the door through the hollowed-out carving on the screen. Caiwei seemed to feel my anxiousness and said softly: "Madam, are you waiting for that person - Miss Yang?"

I pursed my lips and didn't say anything.

Logically, Yang Jinqiao should be here. No matter how big the knot is, today is her father’s 60th birthday, and Yang Wanyun left me here, which was an active sign. Why didn’t she appear yet?

Or is she not going to show up?

Yang Wanyun on the main seat had a calm expression, not as anxious as me, but I could see that his eyes looked out the door several times, but the empty door made his eyes more and more gloomy.

All the guests have taken their seats and can no longer delay.

Mrs. Hanyu said a few words softly in Yang Wanyun's ear with a heavy face. He was silent for a moment, and finally nodded, then held the edge of the table with both hands and slowly stood up.

"Everyone."

His voice was very special, as I heard it on the official road for the first time, and it seemed both young and full of wisdom. At this moment, his voice was released, overwhelming the murmurs of hundreds of people in the hall, and everyone raised their heads and looked at him with a stern look.

Yang Wanyun smiled and said, "Today is my 60th birthday. I will never abandon you. I will visit you. My Yang Mansion will shine brightly."

Everyone immediately laughed: "Where are there!"

"You are polite, Lord Yang!"

"I am waiting for my birthday to come and celebrate Lord Yang's birthday, which is my blessing!"

"Yes, yes!"

...

For a moment, the flattery words of blessings came one after another, and the hall became lively again. Yang Wanyun nodded at the surroundings with a smile, and then said, "Although today is called Lao I's birthday, I'm actually here to meet the fate. Lao I'm prepared a few cups of wine and a few plates of thin vegetables. I hope you don't dislike me."

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised the wine glass in his hand.

The guests present also raised their wine glasses with smiles and everyone said in unison: "I wish you Lord Yang a happy birthday, as blessed as the East China Sea, and longevity is better than—"

Before the word Nanshan was released, I suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside.

The footsteps were very messy, and it seemed that many people walked into the Yang Mansion at this time. The celebrities outside seemed to have not come and started to sing, but the guests in the hall had a very tacit understanding. For a moment, the wine glasses in everyone's hands stopped in the air.

Hundreds of people turned around in unison, and all their eyes were staring at the gate.

Not only these guests, Yang Wanyun was also frozen there at this moment. Although he was still standing motionless, the anxiousness in his eyes was revealed without any concealment. He looked up at the door, and the hand holding the wine glass was trembling slightly because of excitement, and the wine spilled on the back of his hand.

The rest of the Yang family also looked at the gate nervously and excitedly.

At this moment, I was also happy in my heart. I subconsciously stood up from the table and looked outside anxiously. Caiwei, who was beside me, walked forward excitedly, lay beside me and said in a low voice: "Madam, is that Miss Yang coming?"

Before I could speak, I heard the celebrating at the door chanting loudly: "A guest is here!"

...

Caiwei became more and more excited: "Are you here? Is Miss Yang here?"

But I frowned suddenly.

Any guests arrived?!

When I heard these three words, my heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

If it was Yang Jinqiao, she would be considered the daughter of the Yang family, and she shouldn’t be called a “guest”!

Could it be that it was not Yang Jinqiao who came, but other guests?

But what kind of guests, such a big style, did not arrive until the birthday party had already started and even the host and guests had started to toast?

I frowned slightly, and almost held my breath and looked outside.

I saw a group of people appearing at the gate in front of the main hall.

It was obviously a large group of guards, tall, strong, majestic, and quite evil. I couldn't help but feel inappropriate. No matter who the guest was, he came to celebrate Yang Wanyun's birthday. He brought such a large group of guards with evil spirits, and was always disrespectful to his master.
