Chapter 920: Attending a Banquet
Translator: Lonelytree
At night, there was a knock on the door.
“Miss Nanxing, miss Fu He invites you to attend a banquet in the main hall of Peony Garden.”
I smiled knowingly and patted the mute girl. “Let’s go and watch the show.”
The Mute Girl’s mood was a little depressed.
“Mute girl, why were your family members arrested? And why did they let you out?”
The mute girl thought about it seriously and gestured. “Big Brother’s mission failed. Second Brother made a mistake, so father and mother were arrested. If I performed well, they would be released.”
I sighed lightly. This silly girl was too naive. She didn’t know anything, and her family protected her very well.
The mute girl suddenly gestured. “They lied to me!”
I nodded. It wasn’t too bad. She wasn’t completely silly.
The mute girl knelt down again, but she clutched the corner of her clothes tightly. She didn’t gesture anymore.
I patted her gently. “Mute girl, don’t think too much. Let’s protect ourselves first. When we meet your second brother, the truth will be revealed. Your parents and eldest brother won’t die in vain. Most importantly, we have to live well.”
The mute girl bit her lip and finally nodded.
“Wen Dian is setting up a trap outside, so I’m going to create chaos at his home. He must be very proud to have raised so many women. Since he looks down on women so much, then I’ll show him how women can destroy him!”
Fu He was still very influential in this family.
When I arrived, I saw that Yang Yang and Zhao Mei had already arrived. They warmly invited me to sit beside them, and I couldn’t decline their hospitality.
“Nanxing, I thought you wouldn’t come! You actually came as well?” Yang Yang shouted.
I smiled.
Yang Yang was somewhat disappointed. “You shouldn’t have come! Look, Fang Jing didn’t come at all.”
“Why?” I asked.
Yang Yang glared at me. “Isn’t that admitting defeat? We don’t care. We don’t even have the qualifications to compete with Miss Fu. But what are you afraid of? I’m telling you that miss Fu doesn’t have any family background. She relies on the old Madam’s love. She has a childhood friendship with the young master. I’m telling you, we’ve already contacted your family. Our family has sent word. So, you can’t admit defeat, understand? We support you!”
Yang Yang waved her fists and gritted her teeth.
I couldn’t help but laugh. “Are you two going to cheer me on when I fight with her?”
The two of them felt a little awkward.
I patted their shoulders. “Don’t be impatient. What’s the rush? We’ll just wait and see if there’s a chance.”
Just as we were speaking, Fang Jing arrived. She was obviously forced to come. Her face was filled with unwillingness.
Yang Yang nudged Zhao Mei and me with her shoulder. “It looks like she didn’t manage to hold on either. I thought she was very strong.”
I said calmly, “Wen Dian isn’t at home, so who’s going to support her?”
Yang Yang nodded in admiration. “Well said!”
Fang Jing chased away the beauty closest to the main seat and sat down. She then glared at everyone around her. When she saw me, she was stunned and glared at me even more fiercely.
I smiled at her.
She suddenly stood up, probably intending to come at me. At this moment, Fu He arrived.
Behind Fu He, there were four maids. This was truly a grand scene. All the maids quieted down and looked at her in unison.
Fu He sat at the main seat and swept her gaze across everyone. When her gaze landed on me, she revealed a smile.
“Actually, I’ve always been unwilling to meet any of you. However, Nanxing reminded me that in the future, when everyone lives under the same roof, there must be a rule. It also lets everyone know who the future queen is and who you should listen to. There must be some rules. Therefore, everyone should thank Miss Nanxing,” Fu He said unhurriedly.
