Early the next morning, Ye Zhiwei took Xiaolian and Mama Mi and took a carriage back to the Zhenguo Mansion.

The news that the emperor had sealed Ye Zhiwei as a female grandfather spread far and wide, and the prince of Zhenguo held a banquet in the mansion to entertain all the guests and friends.

This is also the first time that Ye Zhiwei has officially met with the ladies of various provinces in the capital since she returned home.

In the past, every time there was a banquet in the house, it was the most beautiful time for the eldest lady Li, although Ye Huai'an was still there at that time, those ladies had already sniffed out the signs that Ye Dongzhou was going to inherit the title, so there were not a few people who flattered the Li family.

But this banquet made Li's mood plummet, she greeted the guests who came to congratulate her for a long time in the front hall, and the first thing that all the ladies inquired about when they saw her was related to Ye Zhiwei.

Ye Yaoqin was dressed like a flower today, she followed the Li family, listening to those people asking about Ye Zhiwei, and hated so much that the handkerchief in her hand was almost torn in half by her.

Seeing that all the guests were almost there, but Ye Zhiwei was still nowhere to be seen, Li was dissatisfied and sent the mother-in-law below to Jufangyuan to call someone.

Li sat in the hall with his daughter, everyone greeted each other, but their eyes were staring at the door, all wanting to see what this emperor's daughter-in-law looked like.

The last time Zhen Guogong had a reception banquet, they didn't have a chance to see this third lady.

"I heard that this third lady originally moved out of the house and lived in the village."

"If you live in the village, you will have the opportunity to move back to the house...... It can be seen that it is a blessed one. ”

“…… What kind of blessing, it is said that a Taoist priest came to the house to see it, saying that she was fated! ”

"Can a person who is destined to be a bad person still inherit the knighthood?" Some people are dismissive of this.

"Maybe it's a misinformation......" everyone discussed.

Ye Yaoqin sat quietly among the ladies of various provinces, wearing a honey-colored smoke ribbed trailing long skirt, a peach and red sprinkled flower jacket, and a half-moon hairpin with hanging beads on her head.

She pretended to be shy and hung her head, but her ears were secretly pricked up, listening to the voices of the ladies around her constantly admiring her outfit.

I heard my mother say that this thing was originally Min's dowry, and today Li didn't let her wear it, but she chose it in her jewelry box for a long time, and felt that none of them were enough to show her superiority.

She just wants to compare Ye Zhiwei to Ye Zhiwei in front of everyone today.

What if you get a title? Ye Zhiwei is still the orphan girl who has no father and no mother, and she will live in the house in the future, doesn't she have to point to her mother?

Li was talking to a few ladies around him, when a mother-in-law walked in, "Madam, the third lady hasn't dressed up yet...... Not for now. ”

Li Shi immediately frowned when he heard this, "You go and urge the third lady to hurry up, it's too rude to let so many people wait for her here alone." ”

The mother-in-law retreated.

Li looked helpless and said to everyone, "After all, that child is young and ignorant, which makes everyone laugh." ”

The ladies of the provinces said perfunctorily, "Nothing, nothing." But there was a look of disdain in his eyes.

Li was secretly proud in his heart.

After eating half a cup of tea with everyone, the mother-in-law who was thinking about it came in, and followed by Mama Mi behind her.

"Ma'am." Mama Mi stepped forward and saluted.

"What's going on?" Li's face was full of displeasure, "What about the third lady?" ”

Mama Mi seemed to be a little uneasy, "The third lady can't come over now, let the old slave inform Madame." ”

Li looked at Mama Mi in surprise.

When the ladies of the other provinces heard this, they all cast curious glances at them.

Ye Yaoqin interjected: "What difficulties did the third sister encounter? "To outsiders, it seems that they have a deep sisterhood.

Mi Mama said: "Madame asked the third lady to make a smoke and purple gauze skirt the day before yesterday, and Miss wanted to use the weeping beaded half-moon hairpin left by her mother to match, but after looking for a long time, she couldn't find the hairpin......

It's just that he lost his temper when he couldn't find the jewelry, and it seemed that the third lady really couldn't get on the stage, and many ladies had a sarcastic smile on their faces.

Li Shi was so embarrassed: "How good is this, I don't know what kind of jewelry she lost, even if she can't find it, she can't let everyone wait for her here." ”

Mama Mi suddenly raised her eyes and swept Ye Yaoqin, and said in a daze: "That hairpin...... It's similar to the one on the eldest lady's head. ”

Only then did Li Shi see the hanging beaded half-moon hairpin on Ye Yaoqin's head, and she only felt a buzz in her head.

Ye Yaoqin didn't expect Mama Mi to say this, and her eyes widened in shock, "What...... What the? You slave, you dare to frame me for stealing my third sister's jewelry! ”

Li Shi was trembling with anger, no one said that she took the jewelry, this is good, she said it first, isn't this asking for trouble.

Sure enough, as soon as this remark came out, it immediately attracted the persuasion of many people who did good things.

"Miss Ye, I'm afraid you misunderstood, this minion didn't say that you took Miss San's things just now......"

"She's just talking about the one that Miss Three lost...... It's about the same as this one on your head......"

For a while, everyone's eyes fell on Ye Yaoqin's head.

Purple pearls are already very rare, and the one hanging on top of this is the size of a dragon's eye, if it is really ordinary jewelry, how can it be the same as this branch?

Li hurriedly said to the mother who was in charge beside him: "You go to me and pick out a few pieces of jewelry for the third lady and send them over." "If I continue to toss like this, I'm afraid that Ye Yaoqin will cause trouble again.

The housekeeper's mother took Mama Mi and retreated, and everyone waited for a cup of tea, only to see a girl wearing a cigarette skirt with purple yarn walking in from the outside, thirteen or fourteen years old, petite, with a pointed jaw like a lotus bud that has just sprouted, a pair of black eyes are bright, and the bottom of the eyes is like clear spring water, looking around at everyone without fear.

"Auntie." She came to Li's approach, bowed slightly, but did not salute the other party, with her current status, even if she did not salute, Li couldn't find anything wrong, she could only bear it.

Seeing Ye Zhiwei's little face, as if someone owed her money, Li felt extremely uncomfortable, but she still had to persuade her face to show her generosity and benevolence to this orphan girl.

"What's wrong with Wei'er, today's banquet is for you, why are you unhappy?" In other words, this girl is not sensible and doesn't know what to do.

Ye Zhiwei frowned slightly, "I haven't been able to find my mother's weeping beaded half-moon hairpin, I thought it was lost, but just now I saw the jewelry sent by my aunt, I suddenly remembered that the jewelry was borrowed by Cousin Yaoqin, and I haven't ......returned it."

Ye Yaoqin sat on the side and almost jumped up when she heard this.

"You talk nonsense! When have I ever borrowed your jewelry! "Ye Zhiwei's things have all been looted by the Li family, how can there be any good jewelry, and the hairpin she wears is what she got from the Li family.

She doesn't care who this thing originally was, now as long as it is worn on her head, it is hers, from childhood to adulthood, as long as she likes something, even if it is robbed, she must get it.

Just like when Ye Zhiwei was four years old, she got a jade rabbit pendant made of white jade given by His Royal Highness the King of England, and in order to grab that thing, she smashed Ye Zhiwei's head......

Ye Zhiwei looked innocent, looked at Ye Yaoqin and said, "Originally, in front of so many people today, I didn't want to ask my cousin to get back this hairpin, but this hairpin was really left to me by my mother, I don't believe you let everyone take a look, there is still a mark left by my mother when she was married." ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Ye Yaoqin's face turned white, but even the Li family couldn't sit still.

That thing has a mark left by the Min clan on it? How did she not know......
