Chapter 153 Rebellion
However, the Zhou family is not as rich in talents as those from scholarly families. Only the eldest, Zhou Xuezheng, is the most promising. He is now a third-rank official, has many connections in the court, and has a bright future.
Even for the sake of her boss's future, she couldn't leave the child alone.
She originally thought that she would wait for a high-profile marriage before marrying off the child, which would, on the one hand, fulfill their relationship as grandson and grandchild, and on the other hand, she would be worthy of the child.
But now Yue'er's words were quite true. During these days, she finally saw that the child looked docile and weak, but in reality he was rebellious.
She had no choice but to give up her earlier thoughts and quickly marry her off casually. As for whether she lived or died, it had nothing to do with them.
But these things cannot be done by her, and she cannot hurt the mother-son relationship with her boss.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but think of Miss Feng whom she met for her boss last time.
She came to Beijing this time for the purpose of Zhang Luo's marriage. The eldest brother is here and cannot waste any more time.
During this time, she also went to various houses to visit and attend banquets, and saw many good girls for her boss both inside and outside.
Among them, the girl from the Feng family of Xuandelang satisfied her the most.
Although this Miss Feng is only the daughter of a seventh-grade civil servant, she has a graceful life and is young and beautiful.
Although the eldest son is much older than Miss Feng, he is already a third-rank official in the imperial court. He is also handsome and suave. The Feng family also intends to marry them in the Zhou family.
The most important thing is that the boss will be satisfied this time, because Miss Feng looks a bit like Furong's biological mother Mu Wanqing.
In the past, the boss was picky in every possible way, either because he thought the girl was unattractive, or because she was dull and undesirable. In short, he just refused to listen to her and get married.
In fact, she knew in her heart that the boss had no intention of marrying for so many years, and his real grudge was with Mu Wanqing.
She was also responsible for what happened at that time, but if she had to choose again, she would still try to separate them.
The only reason to blame is that Mu Wanqing was unlucky enough to be reincarnated as that woman's daughter.
She would never allow her son to be with that woman's child!
If it weren't for that woman, why would the master have been neglecting her until he later abandoned her?
In an instant, all the past events rolled through her mind, and a wave of hatred surged into Mrs. Zhou's heart.
Mrs. Zhou's fingers gradually tightened. She would try to get Miss Feng to marry into the Zhou family and replace Mu Wanqing's position in the boss's heart. For Furong's child, it was a great kindness that she could marry her off safely.

After Shen Furong returned to her courtyard, she put the invitation in her hand on the table and muttered to October on the side:
"Get ready, I'm going to the princess mansion later."
October nodded, turned around and took out a few exquisite dresses, and took out a few gorgeous hairpins from the tray on the side, gesturing back and forth on Shen Furong's head.
Seeing this, Shen Furong waved her hands hurriedly:
"That's not what I'm talking about. It's okay to dress politely. Go and help me prepare... Well, prepare a few small and light blades, find a sharp hairpin, and bring two pieces of silver that can test poisons.
Needle."
Since she knew that the banquet at the Princess Mansion was full of dangers, of course she had to prepare well.
She remembered that she had a pair of embroidered bird-head shoes with a collar on the toe. She could hide the blade in the collar, insert sharp hairpins directly into her hair, and hide silver needles in her sleeves.
Hey, it's a pity that her favorite high heels are not here.
Otherwise, she doesn't have to wear anything. Her stilettos are the most powerful self-defense weapon.
October was already dumbfounded, "What does the girl want with these?"
The banquet at the Princess Mansion was all over the capital, and no matter how many ladies wanted to go, they couldn't go, but her girl's attitude showed that she didn't intend to go to the banquet, she clearly wanted to cause trouble!
Shen Furong sighed, her face looked like a bitter gourd:
"You don't know something. Last time I entered the palace, I had an affair with the eldest princess. This time she invited me to a banquet. I'm afraid the banquet will not be a good one."
She knew it was a Hongmen banquet, but she still had to go to the banquet happily. It was so difficult for her.
In October's daze, Shen Furong had already picked a sharp hairpin and inserted it into her hair, and straightened it gently.
After listening to Shen Furong's words in October, she was stunned for a moment, then spread her legs and trotted away.
Mom, no wonder her girl wanted these. It turned out to be for self-defense. In her opinion, she had to bring a big knife to be safe.
No, she had to go everywhere quickly to look for these things. She also had to go to the backyard to find Li Yeyu and ask her to tell the eldest son about this matter quickly.
…
After she was dressed up, Shen Furong didn't waste any time and boarded the carriage directly to the princess mansion.
The Princess Mansion is located in Donghua Square on the west side of the palace. It covers an area of 100 acres and is magnificently built. The palaces of princes and princes are lined up in rows and surrounded by high walls. They are solemn, solemn, peaceful and quiet.
At this time, the lacquered red door of the Princess Mansion was open, and there were several rows of carriages coming from various places for the banquet.
Two teams of maids stood on both sides of the door, ushering the guests in one by one to take their seats.
After Shen Furong got off the carriage, two maids immediately came up to meet her, one after the other to guide Shen Furong.
The entire Princess Mansion is very unique, with carved beams and painted buildings, well-proportioned pavilions and pavilions, and winding streams and paths, making people feel like they are in a painting.
Shen Furong deliberately came neither early nor late. At this time, almost everyone had arrived, so the two maids took her directly to the banquet room in the main hall.
The main hall is extremely tall, spacious and luxurious. The noble daughters of various families are chatting with each other, and the palace maids and chambermaids are serving tea and water. It is a lively scene.
The two maids led Shen Furong to her place and then retreated.
As soon as Shen Furong took her seat, she heard a clear and sweet voice calling her: "Sister Zhou!"
She turned to look and found a girl in pink clothes walking towards her. It was the Qingxia Fairy she hadn't seen for a long time - Wang Qingxia.
"Miss Wang," Shen Furong nodded to her and said with a smile, "Long time no see."
Although Wang Qingxia was not her good friend, Shen Furong was still happy to see someone she knew again in this unfamiliar place.
Wang Qingxia's eyes lit up when she saw Shen Furong just now. At this moment, she walked to Shen Furong and sat down directly, smiling and saying:
"It's been a long time indeed. As the saying goes, one day is like three autumns. Sister Zhou and I haven't seen each other for such a long time. We need to have a good chat today."
Wang Qingxia said, looked around, then approached Shen Furong and asked in a low voice:
"Has sister communicated with Brother Yu recently?"
Shen Furong's eyes moved after hearing this. There was no doubt that the elder brother Yu mentioned by Wang Qingxia was Yu Zhonglou.
Since she rejected Yu Zhonglou last time and told him that they were just friends, they have not seen each other again.
She originally thought that Yu Zhonglou had understood her heart and wanted to be with Wang Qingxia.
But now, according to Wang Qingxia, not only are they not together, but they seem to have not seen each other for a long time.
Shen Furong felt that she was not the kind of person who liked to ponder things, so she immediately asked her doubts.
