"Your meals are so well prepared!"

After lunch, the ladies from each family chatted and laughed with their acquaintances scattered in the garden. Dong Yuanyao took Daohua and Yan Yihuan to the pavilion to rest.

Dong Yuanyao smiled: "You also know the purpose of my family's hosting of this banquet. Of course, we want to show our strength."

Yan Yihuan and Yan Yishuang, who were sitting nearby, couldn't help but darken when they heard this.

Daohua came close to Dong Yuanyao and whispered: "Is there anyone you like?"

Dong Yuanyao shook his head: "I don't know this yet. My mother and my grandmother are so tight-lipped that they don't reveal anything at all."

Daohua: "...Maybe your grandmother and mother still want to go back to the capital to look for you."

Dong Yuanyao: "That's not certain. My grandmother is someone who values ​​family status. My father can't inherit the Hou Mansion. Everything in the future will have to be done by my brother. As for her, she hopes that my brother's in-laws can help her.

."

Daohua nodded: "This is understandable. Your grandmother definitely doesn't want the gap between your family and your uncle's family to be too big."

Dong Yuanyao sighed and said: "Who says it's not the case? Although my grandmother has never thought about competing for the title of Marquis, she has always been competing with my uncle in her heart."

While talking, Su Shiyu came over with several girls.

Everyone greeted each other and sat down to chat.

Seeing that Yan Yihuan and the others were sitting there, Daohua said, "If you are bored, go for a walk."

Yan Yile couldn't sit still for a long time. When he heard this, he immediately pulled up Yan Yihuan and Yan Yile. Yang Xiujun was a little worried and didn't want to stay in the pavilion, so she also stood up.

Before leaving, Daohua told Yan Yihuan: "Take good care of cousin Xiujun and her two younger sisters."

Hearing this, Yang Xiujun frowned slightly.

Cousin Yiyi, what does this mean?

By giving Yihuan such instructions, do you think she will embarrass the Yan family?

After they left, several more people left the pavilion, and finally only Daohua, Dong Yuanyao and Su Shiyu were left.

Without the others, Dong Yuanyao stopped pretending to be dignified and leaned directly on the chair: "I can finally take a breath."

Daohua and Su Shiyu were both a little funny seeing her like this.

Daohua looked at Su Shiyu: "Sister Su, Yuan Yao and I have made an appointment to watch the lanterns together during the Lantern Festival tomorrow. You can come too."

Su Shiyu smiled and nodded: "Okay."

After that, the three of them chatted about what they had done during this period. When they were talking enthusiastically, they suddenly heard a burst of noise.

Dong Yuanyao frowned and stood up: "What happened?"

Every banquet party was most afraid of someone causing trouble, so Daohua and Su Shiyu also stood up: "Let's go over and have a look."

The three of them walked quickly towards the commotion.

The Dong family's garden is next to the Weeping Flower Gate, and the noise is coming from here. As the three of them approached, they saw many ladies gathered around the Weeping Flower Gate.

"Why is there a male voice?"

Dong Yuanyao's expression changed, and she ran over holding up her skirt.

Daohua and Su Shiyu walked behind, and then heard a delicate sound.

"Mr. He, An Xi has already humbled you, so please go around him as much as possible."

"Humph, if I don't spare him, wouldn't I be unkind?"

Soon, the three of them arrived in front of the Chuihua Gate.

At this moment, An Xi, who was still wearing makeup, was kneeling on the ground. In front of him, stood a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man in brocade clothes with an angry face. A few steps away, near the hanging flower door, were Jiang Wanying and several other girls.

Daohua knew at a glance that Mr. Jinyi wanted to punish An Xi, and Jiang Wanying and other girls were interceding for him.

At this moment, the leader of the Double Happiness class arrived sweating profusely. As soon as he arrived, he nodded and bowed to apologize to Mr. Jinyi.

Listening to the class leader's humble apology, Mr. Jinyi looked a little better.

However, at this time, Jiang Wanying and other girls also joined in the plea, and their words were more biased towards An Xi. In an instant, Mr. Jinyi's face darkened again.

"You see clearly, he was the one who bumped into this young master. His low and dirty smell still lingers on my body. What's wrong with punishing him to kneel down?"

Immediately, a girl said disapprovingly: "An Xi didn't do it on purpose, so why did Mr. He chase after her?"

Mr. He became even more angry and threatened to punish An Xi.

Suddenly, another girl came forward to plead for mercy.

At this moment, the leader of the Double Happiness Class was about to cry. He really wanted to yell at the girls who asked for mercy so that they would not do anything to help.

People like Mr. He either want to find someone to vent their dissatisfaction, or they want to show off their superiority. As long as they obey and be humble, they will be fine after his anger is over.

But these aunts insist on running out to plead for mercy. Isn’t this just trying to make people angry?

Anxi, who was kneeling on the ground, was also full of powerlessness and boredom.

Are these girls really begging for him?

Maybe, but he knew that they mostly wanted to win the attention of the young masters in the front yard and spread their reputation for kindness by interceding for him.

Every time I go to the back house for a singing session, I will inevitably meet such a scheming girl.

Dong Yuanyao knew the cause and effect. Seeing more and more people crowding around, she felt very irritated. She stood at the door of Chuihua and said to Mr. He: "Mr. He, since your clothes are dirty, I will let the servant take care of you immediately.

You can go to the guest house to change, and you can rest assured that the clothes are all newly made."

Seeing Dong Yuanyao come forward, Young Master He calmed down his anger a little: "Put aside your clothes first, Miss Dong, this man bumped into me, what are you going to do?"

Dong Yuanyao frowned, fed up with Mr. He chasing after him. Looking at An Xi who was kneeling on the ground for strong support, she had no idea for a moment.

Daohua looked at Dong Yuanyao, thought for a while, and said: "An Xi bumped into Young Master He. It was his fault. Regardless of whether he did it intentionally or not, Young Master He should punish him."

Hearing this, all the girls looked at Daohua with condemnation in their eyes.

Dong Yuanyao was also a little surprised.

Su Shiyu glanced at Daohua, and after a moment's thought, she understood, and then said, "That's right. Since you bumped into someone and soiled someone else's clothes, it's reasonable for Mr. He to punish him."

When Mr. He saw that a girl had stood up to support him, his face almost healed.

The leader of the Double Happiness Class also came to his senses and said quickly: "It's An Xi's fault, please ask Master He to punish her."

Mr. He hesitated, and looked around at the girls around him. If the punishment was severe, it would be bad for his reputation. He thought for a while and said, "Let's give him a slap on the wrist for a moment."

Daohua immediately winked at Dong Yuanyao.

Dong Yuanyao received it and quickly called a boy to hold down An Xi and looked at Mr. He: "Young Master He is here to watch the beating?"

Mr. He raised his chin: "That's no need, I believe Miss Dong." With that, he left with the boy.

Seeing that the person was gone, Dong Yuanyao breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand, and motioned to the servant to take An Xi down without saying anything about making plans.

The class teacher hurriedly went to help Anxi.

When An Xi stood up, his legs were trembling. Before leaving, he looked back at the lady at the door of Chui Hua, and immediately found the figures of Dong Yuanyao and Dao Hua.

It's them!

No wonder the voice felt so familiar to him.

......

The ladies returned to the garden. Along the way, Daohua and Su Shiyu received dissatisfied looks from many ladies.

Jiang Wanying even walked over and sneered: "Miss Yan and Miss Su are really hard-hearted."

Immediately, a lady answered and said in a strange tone: "Some people only worship those who are superior and those who are inferior, and cling to the powerful. An Xi is just an actor, and he will die when he dies. But Mr. He is different. He's political participation has expired."

, I’m going to Beijing soon to be the Minister of Justice, so why don’t you fawn over me?”

Daohua and Su Shiyu looked at each other, ignored the sarcasm, and left the crowd.

"We have become evil people." Su Shiyu said mockingly.
