Chapter 106 Attending the Banquet
When Shen Wen was discovered to be a girl, she wanted to break free and run away, but the old woman who knew her exclaimed, "Madam Shen! Why is it you?"
The other servants thought that the old woman had bumped into guests in broad daylight and told her to stop shouting. The old woman said unconvincedly, "It must be Aunt Shen. I used to be a maid in her courtyard. Every time the young master stayed overnight in her room, I was the one who served him water!" She looked very proud when she said this.
The masters in the room made quite a commotion at this time, and the next moment, Master Tong came out, grabbing a ragged young man and pushing him hard to the ground. The young man fell like a dead dog, and anyone who saw him felt pity for him.
Princess Tong was furious. He raised his head and said, "Someone, destroy his face!"
After hearing this order, Huanmi Sheren, who came with him, immediately ordered people to drag the people away.
Just after taking two steps, a hidden weapon flew out from the house and landed at the servants' feet with a clang!
The person in the room said, "It's none of his business. Lady Tong, please don't blame the wrong person!"
There was fire in Lady Tong's eyes!
At this moment, the maids surrounding Shen Wen said, "Sir! Aunt Shen is here! It's Aunt Shen! Do you still remember her?"
As soon as the old woman finished speaking, the eldest son Ji Ziyan, who had been hiding inside and refused to show up, came out quickly.
He walked around Tong Xianyu, pushed through the crowd, and saw Shen Wenzhen standing there.
Seeing this, Chu Yanqiu, who was hiding behind, had no choice but to come over.
It was true that he had set up this game, but he had never expected that Tong Xianyu and Liu Maner would catch the adulterer. He just wanted Shen Wen to see Ji Ziyin's love for men, so that she would understand that they could not go back and give up.
Chu Yanqiu walked up to the crowd and called Shen Wen by his given name, "Zi Tong."
Then, the group of servants surrounding outside stupidly made way.
Chu Yanqiu hugged her waist from behind.
But he never expected that the woman had already given up and leaned weakly on her, her hand naturally resting on his big hand, which felt cold.
The moment Ji Ziyan saw Shen Wen again, he suddenly understood why he had lost control over the young man just now.
He looked at Shen Wen carefully, not wanting to miss every inch of her expression. Seeing her lying in someone else's arms sadly, Ji Ziyan's heart was gripped. His mouth was dry. He wanted to explain something to him, but he didn't know how to explain it.
He didn't understand why he felt so distressed. He remembered that when he saw Shen Wen jumping down from Yixiang Tower and falling to his death, he didn't feel as heartbroken as he did now.
Chu Yanqiu didn't even give him a chance to explain. He picked up Shen Wen and turned away immediately.
Ji Ziyan immediately followed in panic.
But how could Tong Xianyu agree to that?
He shouted angrily from behind: "Ji Ziyin! You are not allowed to go! I ask you, how are you going to deal with this person who climbed the bed?"
Ji Ziyan was brought back from his trance by his yell, and he had no choice but to put Shen Wen's plan aside.
He also knew that Lady Tong and Lady Liu behind him were the ones who lived in his room.
Ji Ziyin first waved his hand to let the servants disperse, then looked at the young man lying on the ground and ordered someone to help him down. However, Tong Xianyu refused. He stopped the young man and said, "Do you know why you are favored?"
Before the young man could answer, Ji Ziyin said impatiently, "He is a prostitute, a registered prostitute in the Kuanghan Pavilion on Hongchen Street. I am not blaming him today, so why should the princess bring others into the discussion? If you don't believe me, ask him if he is willing to follow me and become my concubine."
The young man didn't understand anything else until he heard Ji Ziyan's words, then he shook his head and answered in the affirmative.
Things have developed to this point. This boy is a child who has not experienced the world. He was in a state of confusion from beginning to end. It’s ok to lose his virginity while drunk, but he also wants to be a good man in this family? He absolutely dare not!
When Tong Xianyu saw that his face looked very similar to Shen Wen, she felt disgusted with Ji Ziyan from the bottom of her heart.
How could he not understand now?
Maybe Shen Wen fell in the same way back then? They all became substitutes for the white moonlight in Ji Ziyin's heart.
Tong Xianyu looked at Ji Ziyin coldly and said, "Oh? So that's how it is! In that case, send him back to Kuang Han Pavilion! Huanmi, you send him there yourself."
Huanmi immediately obeyed the order, bowed, and waved her hand to have the young man taken away.
Tong Xianyu took a deep breath and said, "Forget it this time. As for the emperor, I won't bother to mention it. You and I are not getting along, and I don't have the face to be in front of the emperor. However... this mouth is on someone else, I'm not sure if someone else will bother to meddle."
As he said this, he raised his eyebrows towards Liu.
Liu was so impressed by his allusion that she couldn't open her mouth to refute anything.
She couldn't refute it! If she said it, Ji Ziyin would really suspect that she was the one who spread the message.
Although this matter was not a big deal and could not be brought up in any official's house, it was different for Princess Tong. As long as Princess Tong was willing to make a fuss to the Emperor, the Emperor would dare to assign three or five more officials to Princess Tong. She also wanted to see if that day would really come. By then, no matter how high her official rank was, when she stood beside Princess Tong, he would be just one of Princess Tong's many concubines like her!
Seeing Lady Tong give up and leave, Liu bit her lip, looking unwilling.
But she didn't expect that the next moment, Ji Ziyan strode over and slapped her in the face. He slapped her several times in a row before he felt relieved.
The first time Ji Ziyan beat a woman, he felt that he had lost his manliness and regretted marrying a woman in the first place.
that side.
The moment Chu Yanqiu carried Shen Wen out of the woods, he saw that Shen Wen had recovered as normal. She insisted on getting down and walking by herself, so Chu Yanqiu had to put her down.
Shen Wen stared at Chu Yanqiu suspiciously and said, "You didn't do it on purpose, did you? After all, this kind of drama is common in your mansion, isn't it?"
Chu Yanqiu said sarcastically, "What do you mean it's common in our mansion? Have you seen it often before? Then why don't you tell me about it?"
Shen Wen rolled his eyes at him!
Aunt is not common, but have you ever seen a pig run even if you haven't eaten pork? Your grandfather, if you have a chance, go to a certain website to have a look, it's the standard of romantic family fighting, okay?
She tidied up the servant's clothes and said, "I won't leave the house. I'm hungry. I want to go back to Xianhe Tower to eat."
Chu Yanqiu agreed immediately and followed Shen Wen and said, "What shall we eat? Just order and I'll tell the kitchen to prepare it right away."
Shen Wen raised his foot to kick him, repeatedly telling him to "get out".
This time he couldn't escape again, and was cheated by that bastard. Shen Wen, who had been working hard, couldn't eat anymore. But that bastard was busy with work, so Shen Wen didn't have the chance to beat him to death. Shen Wen let out a sigh of anger and went upstairs to sleep.
The girls waiting on the side didn't dare to breathe. Three pairs of wide-open eyes followed her as she looked toward the roof.
Shen Wen slept until dawn the next day.
The maids came in to serve, all of them with joyful faces. Yuexian came up to her with a tray and said with a smile: "Young lady, what a great joy! You can also attend the banquet today. The Second Young Master came to order it last night! These are the clothes and jewelry that the Second Young Master picked for you. Come and have a look!" As she said that, Yuexian handed the tray to Shen Wen.
The maids were very happy and dressed her in an orderly manner. Xiao Tao picked out gold and silver jewelry for her while saying, "Young lady, you have won honor this time. Don't you know? In our mansion, a person like you who has not been given a position yet has agreed to sit at the table of the grandmother and the lady for the first time! Who knows! After today, the second young master will give you a position! By then, you will be the real master of this mansion!"
After saying that, she smiled at Shen Wen, but Shen Wen didn't even smile back. She smiled awkwardly and went to find work to do.
After she finished dressing up, the maid sent by Chu Yanqiu to pick her up was already waiting outside. Shen Wen followed the maid to Changqing Courtyard where the inner family members were gathering.
Changqing Courtyard was originally the courtyard where the first marquis received his title and was later granted titles by imperial decree. All his descendants received their titles and rewards in Changqing Courtyard. It is next to the front yard. After passing the second gate and crossing the alley, it is the front yard. Nowadays, female guests are entertained in Changqing Courtyard, while male guests are entertained in the front yard.
Looking at the crowds of people of all kinds walking together with their colorful sleeves dancing, Shen Wen seemed out of place. She was also aware of her situation. If she rushed to join this group of people, not only would she not gain any benefits, she might even suffer a great loss. She couldn't be sure that some jealous woman would dislike her and do something to kill her!
But can you get peace by avoiding this kind of thing?
Shen Wen glanced at Madam Helian who was sitting under the crabapple tree pretending to be innocent.
She probably didn't even realize how hostile she was in those glances she gave him, intentionally or unintentionally.
Just at this moment, a little maid passed by her and bumped into her without thinking, acting startled, as if she wanted to attract everyone's attention.
Shen Wen thought she was too noisy, so he stuffed the teacup in his hand directly into her mouth. It happened that the teacup was not big, and it just happened to be stuck in the little maid's big mouth, making her speechless instantly.
The maid who was in charge of the little maids not far away saw this and ran over quickly. Without saying a word, she pushed the little maid aside and glared at her fiercely. Then she respectfully helped Shen Wen up and said very naturally, "The girl's clothes are dirty. Please follow me. I will help you change your clothes myself."
Shen Wen nodded approvingly and said, "Thank you!"
The two of them had just taken two steps when Madam Helian shouted from a distance, "Stop! Do you know what you knocked over? Are you just going to leave like this?"
