Du Heng had no idea of ​​screwing with Du Shengping, but Du Ruolan was definitely very interested in attending the princess's birthday banquet. She started choosing clothes two or three days in advance, and was waiting for Du Shengping to give her some money to buy rouge and gouache.

But when I went to the banquet that day, a little disappointment appeared on my face again.

Du Heng expressed his understanding. We can't catch a rich husband, right?

But there was a small episode in the middle. On the day when Du Ruolan was ecstatic after receiving the post, she fell hard on the wooden bridge in the garden after the rain.

And because there are mostly bare rocks in the landscape near the wooden bridge, although it was a blessing that I fell and didn't fall into the water, I also had scratches on my face and forearms.

My face was fine, because I didn't wear much clothing in the summer, so the scratches on my forearms were quite large.

This is why Du Ruolan begged Du Shengping to give her money to buy the best cosmetics in Beijing that are not exciting but can cover up flaws. She must look beautiful and perfect on the stage.

When the day came, although the two of them entered the East Palace together, Du Ruolan didn't want to stay with Du Heng at all.

Part of it is that he doesn't like her, and part of it is that Du Ruolan thinks that Du Heng is very evil.

Ever since she rescued Du Zhilan from the gate of hell last time, she didn't want to get too close to her.

Before Du Ruolan could think of an excuse to get rid of Du Heng, he suddenly saw someone in front of him, took it into consideration, and stepped forward with all his waist.

Du Heng calmed down and took a look, then followed up without haste.

"Hey, isn't this a girl from the Xiao family? In the past, the Lin family was still there, so you just followed her. Now that the Lin family has fallen, do you deserve to appear here with the Xiao family being in decline?"

Du Ruolan seemed to be used to being suppressed by Du Zhilan, but now she suddenly turned around. Even if Xiao Zimei had never offended her, she still wanted to try to use her power to suppress others.

Status is really a wonderful thing. Du Zhilan usually suppresses Du Ruolan's frivolous behavior and asks her not to embarrass the Du family;

But Du Ruolan, the concubine of the Qing family of Dali Temple, dared to show off in front of the legitimate daughter of the Xiao family, who was not a small family but was losing power day by day. This could be regarded as the ultimate expression of the profound meaning of "one person can achieve enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven".

Xiao Zimei opened her mouth to retort, but in the eyes of the world, she was a flawed person.

Besides, if you don't argue with Du Ruolan, just tolerate her and let it go for a while, so as not to attract other people and cause more trouble.

Then Xiao Zimei just accepted it and didn't say anything back.

Du Ruolan didn't feel bored when she looked like this, but her vanity increased sharply. She felt that she was acting like a princess in front of Xiao Zimei. She was about to mock her again when she suddenly heard——

"Miss Du's aunt didn't show up today, and her father has been promoted to a high-ranking official recently, so she can't hold back anymore?"

When Du Ruolan heard this, his face suddenly became distorted, and he turned to look for the person who spoke.

After seeing the other party, he smiled meaningfully, raised one eyebrow, and said with a half-smile:

"It turns out to be the young lady of the Sheng family. I didn't know you still had time to come to the East Palace for a banquet? I've heard anecdotes about Master Sheng and his cousin recently, but I didn't know that the head wife in this anecdote still had time to meddle in other people's affairs?

Oh, look at my memory, I actually forgot that Miss Xiao’s mother is Mrs. Sheng’s biological sister, you two unlucky people have finally gotten together.”

Lin Ling did not directly refute what she said. Sheng Ruchi "accidentally" slept with his cousin, blaming his mother for it. It was widely known in Beijing that Mrs. Sheng naturally wanted to force her stubborn son to submit.

;

Sheng Yusheng, who was attacked by unknown persons recently, was even more sick when she heard the news. What a stupid woman! She didn't even think about her son's career!

But Sheng Ruchi's reputation for being infatuated was not for nothing. He resisted the pressure and insisted on sending his cousin far away. He also said that he would pay her a large dowry, which made his aunt angry.

It’s the smoke coming from the seven orifices.

In the end, it was Mrs. Sheng who made money and was no longer a human being, so the matter remained stagnant.

Lin Ling asked Du Ruolan directly: "Miss Du Er, you missed your sister's marriage. If you ask me, we are all unlucky people... Or, there is something wrong with you and your former brother-in-law and current husband."

?”

Du Heng hid behind him and almost laughed out loud. My little aunt is indeed a little aunt. She made an inseparable guess based on just observation and guessing.

Du Ruolan's voice obviously weakened, and he looked like he had a guilty conscience:

"You, what are you talking about? Who has an affair with Sheng Yu? They are both ladies from a famous family. I advise you to keep your mouth clean. You are really unreasonable! I am too lazy to stay with you!"

After that, he left angrily. To be precise, he ran away.

"Thank you, aunt." After Du Ruolan left, Xiao Zimei shed her shy look and put her hands around Lin Ling's hand, acting cutely.

Although Lin Ling was almost a few years older than her, he behaved like an elder, lovingly touching Xiao Zimei's hair, then waving affectionately to Du Heng behind him, and Du Heng quickly stepped forward.

Xiao Zimei obviously knew Du Heng's identity and looked at Lin Ling doubtfully.

Lin Ling patted her comfortingly, "Zimei, don't worry, Miss Du Si is different from her second sister, my aunt is friends with her."

After hearing this, Xiao Zimei lowered her guard. The three of them introduced each other and started talking.

"Auntie, I've also heard about my uncle's incident...what exactly happened?"

Lin Ling's face was also unguarded, and she looked lonely as if she had been stabbed by her husband's family:

"My mother-in-law 'caught' her, but my husband kept saying that he didn't. He didn't even touch a hair on my cousin's body... I believe in my husband, but I don't know who else I can trust besides my husband."

;

But my mother-in-law saw that my husband was a tough nut to crack, so she put pressure on me and asked me to take the decision as the wife of the wife and take in my cousin. I am not stupid. My husband treats me so well. If I treat him so well,

Pushing others away will hurt his heart;

But now, I don’t know what to do..."

Lin Ling turned her head to the side and let the tears fall. Then she looked up at the sky and vowed to hold back the tears.

Du Heng did not comfort her, but clenched his fist tightly. The Sheng family was really bullying her!

Xiao Zimei on the other side took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and silently wiped away Lin Ling's tears.

At this moment, Du Heng's sharp eyes saw a familiar touch of gold on Xiao Zimei's sleeve——

At the same time, Du Heng was not the only one who saw this thing.

Lin Ling also forgot to cry, and suddenly grabbed Xiao Zimei's forearm, rolled up the sleeves, gently held the thing that could be used as a bracelet or an armband, stared blankly, and asked

: "Zimei, where are you from?"
