"If you are still acting so recklessly, you don't have to go to this reception banquet."

"Father, what did I do wrong? I just thought I was going to see my uncle and aunt soon. Liu Mengxi shouted unconvinced.

Liu Wenzhe had lost his patience and continued to teach this stupid daughter, turned his head to look at Aunt Shen, and said, "Lianyun, I thought you had always understood the general situation, how did you teach Xi'er to be so ignorant?" ”

Hearing Liu Wenzhe say this about Aunt Shen, Liu Mengxi was even more angry, and wanted to continue to distinguish, but was stopped by Liu Mengyan pulling her sleeves beside her, and at this time Ling Qingrui stepped into the door of the front hall.

"Big sister, let me tell you why Lord Liu scolded you for being reckless and not knowing your proportions. My grandmother has just passed away less than a year ago, and all kinds of banquets are not allowed to participate, but because this is a banquet set up by your uncle Shen, it can be regarded as a family banquet, so Lord Liu will allow our three sisters to go, and you ...... big sister."

Ling Qingrui looked at what Liu Mengxi was wearing today, and continued: "Wearing red and green like this, what kind of eyes should the world look at you and the entire Liu family?" I'm afraid that as soon as this banquet is over, the gossip of the Liu family without rules will spread throughout the capital, and it will even affect Lord Liu's official appointment. Does the big sister know what she did wrong now? ”

"I ......"

Liu Mengxi couldn't help but be speechless, she was tired of the plain dress that had been passed on for so long, thinking that she had finally arrived in the capital, how could she make those noble girls in the capital look down on her, so she thought about dressing up, who knew that this would not work.

Liu Mengxi secretly cursed in his heart that the Ling family would not let people live in peace if he died, it was really ......

Before she could finish scolding in her heart, she suddenly heard Ling Qingrui's voice ringing in her ears, which startled her so much that she almost jumped up.

I only heard Ling Qingrui whisper in her ear: "Don't let me know that big sister is cursing your mother, otherwise I will make you regret it for the rest of your life!" ”

Liu Mengxi looked at Ling Qingrui in surprise, how could she know what she was thinking in her heart? Hell yes!

Over there, Aunt Shen hurriedly smiled at Liu Wenzhe and said: "Don't be angry, the concubine will teach Xi'er well, Xi'er is really just too happy to forget the rules for a while, tomorrow Xi'er and Yan'er will definitely not make a mistake." Miss Rui's ......"

"Don't bother Aunt Shen, I don't want to go." After Ling Qingrui coldly warned Liu Mengxi, she said so coldly.

"How is this possible? Just go to your uncle's house......"

Without waiting for Aunt Shen to finish speaking, Ling Qingrui cut off: "I think Aunt Shen you are mistaken, my uncle died more than ten years ago. ”

Hearing this, Aunt Shen instantly understood that what Ling Qingrui was talking about was probably General Ling, the elder brother of the Ling family, and she didn't admit that her brother was her uncle at all, and her face was extremely ugly.

At this time, Liu Wenzhe's eyes fell on Ling Qingrui, paused slightly, and said: "Although your aunt will go tomorrow, she will not appear at the banquet, Rui'er, as the daughter of Liufu, you must go tomorrow." ”

Ling Qingrui glanced at Liu Wenzhe in surprise, on the surface, her relationship with Liu Wenzhe has always been stiff, but Liu Wenzhe generally doesn't force her to do anything, what is going on this time?

But Liu Wenzhe didn't care about Ling Qingrui's doubts, and even ignored Aunt Shen's ugly face, threw down the sentence "This matter is settled", and immediately left the front hall.

That night, Liu Wenzhe ordered Ning Feng to send a sentence, "Make friends with the powerful, don't rest on your laurels", Ling Qingrui then understood.

On the second day, everyone dressed up properly, took a carriage, and came to the house where Aunt Shen's brother, Shaoqing Shen of Dali Temple, was transported.

The man went to the front yard by himself, but Aunt Shen had tears in her eyes, and led Liu Mengxi and Liu Mengyan to be welcomed in by Mrs. Shen, leaving Ling Qingrui alone at the gate of the courtyard.

Dismounted? Ling Qingrui sneered in her heart and walked towards the courtyard where the young ladies were.

"Which lady are you? There are no rules for good students, so why do you break into it without permission? ”

As soon as she stepped into the courtyard door, she heard a slightly shrill voice coming, Ling Qingrui followed the prestige, and saw a woman who was almost fourteen or fifteen years old standing there, pointing at her very coquettishly.

Bingyue's voice sounded beside him, saying, "Miss, this is Shen Yunru, the youngest daughter of Lord Shen, from Mrs. Shen, who has a brutal temperament, similar to the eldest lady. ”

didn't have time to think about how Bingyue would recognize this Shen Yunru, because of this Shen Yunru's shout, which attracted the attention of many people, Ling Qingrui had a decent smile on her lips, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The person who comes is a guest, Miss Shen's shouting like this is not a way of hospitality." ”

"You!" Shen Yunru was angry, but she couldn't think of words to refute it, her face was flushed in anger.

"The visitor is indeed a guest, but if this guest doesn't know the etiquette, it's no wonder that the host is at home, right?" Another woman in pink took over the conversation for Shen Yunru.

Following Bingyue's whispered prompt, Ling Qingrui asked directly, "Miss Xie, if you are invited to come but are turned away, do you say this is a faux pas of the main family or a guest who does not know the etiquette?" ”

That Miss Xie was also dumbfounded by the question.

At this moment, Liu Mengxi and Liu Mengyan also came over, Liu Mengyan said: "Sister Rui, the scenery of my uncle's house is really beautiful, Yan'er was almost stunned by accident, just ask Sister Rui to see the beautiful scenery for a while, my aunt is just wanting to meet you, go and meet my aunt with Yan'er." ”

That Shen Yunru obviously recognized Liu Mengxi and Liu Mengyan for a long time, and at this time she held Liu Mengxi's arm affectionately and asked, "Why did my mother see her?" Who is she? ”

Liu Mengxi pursed her lips and replied, "Isn't it the person I mentioned to you in my letter?" ”

"Oh......" Shen Yunru pulled a long voice, her eyes fell on Ling Qingrui, looking up and down, as if she was looking at something again.

Hearing that Liu Mengyan quietly threw Ling Qingrui alone with them, it became Ling Qingrui greedy for the scenery and missed the time to worship the elders, Ling Qingrui slightly hooked the corners of her lips and said: "That's true, the scenery here is pleasant, I really don't want to step into the dirty place." ”

Hearing this, Liu Mengyan's aggrieved eyes were suddenly covered with a layer of mist, she looked at Ling Qingrui wetly, and said softly: "How can Sister Rui say that her uncle's house is dirty? Yan'er begged Sister Rui, don't do this in the future, okay? ”

"Huh? When did I say that Lord Shen's house was dirty? Ling Qingrui's eyes were full of surprise, "I'm just saying that the beautiful scenery is current, and I don't want to step into the dirty land, who wants to step into the dirty land?" ”

Ling Qingrui's words fell, and Liu Mengyan realized that she had said the wrong thing in a hurry, and the tears she was holding at the moment rolled down, and she sobbed softly: "It's Yan'er who misunderstood, please don't blame Sister Rui, it's all Yan'er's fault." ”

The previous Miss Xie opened her mouth again and asked Shen Yunru: "Yunru, who is this young lady, why is she so arrogant and unreasonable?" You see, they all said that this young lady was crying. ”

It seems that Shen Yunru has always been friendly with this Miss Xie, so she took her and walked to Liu Mengyan's side at the moment, and while comforting Liu Mengyan, she said: "Sister Xie, don't blame, Yunru forgot for a while, these are my aunt's two cousins." Cousin, the sister of the Xie family is good, you can move around more in the future. ”

Seeing that Shen Yunru did not introduce Ling Qingrui, the eyes of many young ladies naturally fell on her, and Ling Qingrui seemed to be unaware, standing there arrogantly, like a cold plum standing proudly in the wind and snow, straightening her back.

And after Liu Mengyan and Miss Xie greeted each other, they quickly got acquainted with several young ladies around them, and then Miss Xie asked again: "Yunru, you haven't said who she is?" ”

"Oh," Shen Yunru pursed her lips disdainfully, "She's just an orphan girl adopted by my uncle's family, Sister Xie doesn't have to take it to heart." ”

As soon as Shen Yunru said this, the eyes of many young ladies around her suddenly changed from curiosity to disdain and contempt, in this Tianli Dynasty, which is extremely respectful of dignity and humility, an adopted daughter is far less noble than the young lady of the family, and it is normal for them to be so, but they choked the ice moon and the first snow that followed them on the side.

Without waiting for Ling Qingrui to speak, Liu Mengyan's cowardly voice came again: "Cousin, don't say that about Sister Rui, Yan'er and Sister Rui have always been close to Sister Rui like sisters, Sister Rui is actually a very good person, please don't be like this, Yan'er is here to plead with everyone." ”

Liu Mengxi said: "Sister, you are the most kind-hearted, you forgot how she treated us and our mother on the way here?" I want to be like a sister to her...... Does she deserve it? ”

"Sister......

Ling Qingrui sneered: "It's really unworthy, but the unworthy person is not me, although I am an orphan girl adopted by Lord Liu, but I am a serious concubine, unlike some people who are just concubines, but they are so flamboyant, be careful to insult the family style of Liufu." ”

Hearing Ling Qingrui say this, and the eyes of the young ladies around him immediately became strange, Liu Mengxi immediately jumped out like a fried rooster and shouted: "You little slut, who do you say is not worthy?" ”

Raising her hand, Liu Mengxi wanted to slap Ling Qingrui's face, where would Ling Qingrui let her succeed, and immediately reached out and pinched the acupoint on Liu Mengxi's wrist, and Liu Mengxi, who was in pain immediately, fell backwards with an "oops", and couldn't get up, holding her wrist and shouting pain.

Shen Yunru's face changed and said, "It is worthy of being a wild seed, so savage and ruthless!" ”

Ling Qingrui took a step forward, the smile on her lips gradually became cold, and said, "Someone wants to hit me, I just held her wrist, how ruthless is it?" Also, Miss Shen had better remember, don't let me hear the word wild seed again, otherwise don't blame me for being really ruthless! ”

Shen Yunru was frightened by Ling Qingrui's cold expression, and it took a long time to react, and shouted: "Come on, come on, drive this wild woman out for me!" ”

At this moment, an even more panicked cry was suddenly heard.

"Come on, the seventh princess has fallen into the water!"
