Chapter 426 Are you here to play Liaozhai with me?
Lu Xueting and Xu Pingting had some grudges since they were children. They didn't like each other and they would make a few sarcastic remarks when they met. However, there was no big conflict. However, a few days ago, Duke Lu wanted to propose marriage to the Marquis of Xuanping for the sake of Prince Lu.
Betrothed to marry Xu Pingting.
Moreover, the Xuanping Marquis Mansion also rejected the marriage.
Because of this incident, Lu Xueting exploded, saying that Xu Pingting was ungrateful and that a shrew with a notorious reputation dared to pick on her eldest brother. She also said that Xu Pingting was not worthy of entering the gate of Duke Lu's mansion.
Xu Pingting was not a loser either. She immediately started talking about the shabby things Lu Shizi had done, saying that he had five or six wives at a young age, and that he was the servant of a beautiful woman in a brothel.
.
As soon as the two girls made a fuss, the people in the Imperial City also knew about the incident. It turned out that the Duke of Lu wanted to propose marriage to the Marquis of Xuanping but was rejected. Lu Xueting was so angry that she actually made trouble for the girl.
If you fail to propose marriage and make trouble for others, this is really a bad thing, and it will make people laugh.
But Xu Pingting is not in trouble either. After all, her reputation in the Imperial City is not good, and she also fights with others, which is really not the behavior of a girl from a good family.
Lu Xueting was beaten up by Xu Pingting, and her face was bruised and red. It has not completely disappeared today. She had to cover it up with makeup and powder before she dared to go out.
Now the enemies meet each other on a narrow road, and they are extremely jealous.
Lu Xueting was furious when she heard this: "Xu Pingting, don't think that I don't dare to hit you!"
Xu Pingting was not afraid of her at all. After hearing this, she said: "Come on, come on, fight, let's just have a good time gesticulating!"
As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves, as if he wanted to hit someone himself.
Lu Xueting was so frightened that her heart trembled and her face turned pale: "Stop, stop, I won't fight you."
Xu Pingting is like a king flower, and she doesn't mean anything. If she says she will take action, she really means taking action. Lu Xueting is afraid of being beaten by her, so naturally she won't dare.
However, she said she was afraid, but she was obviously a little embarrassed. Lu Xueting clenched her fists: "Miss Shen invited us to the Spring Festival Banquet today, so I won't argue with you, huh!"
After saying that, she led the others forward, passed by Xu Pingting, walked forward in a swaggering manner, and was led by the maid to sit down behind a table on the main seat.
Xu Pingting leaned against the countertop of Xie Zhu's table and saw Lu Xueting sitting down at the main seat. She raised her eyebrows high and then showed a smile: "Hey, the arrangement of this position today is really interesting."
"I previously thought that the empty seat of honor would be reserved for someone. After all, Miss Cao Si is still sitting below, and Miss Rong is also in the palace. I didn't expect that it would be reserved for Miss Lu San."
Cao Sijin also laughed: "Miss Xu is joking, I guess in Miss Shen's heart, Miss Lu is closer to her."
Cao Sijin didn't care about the seats, but Shen Mingzhu arranged Lu Xueting in the main seat, and she was below Lu Xueting. Wasn't this a slap in her face?
Shen Mingzhu smiled slightly: "It's all arranged randomly. It's just a seat. It's the same for everyone."
"That's right!" Xie Zhu said loudly, "It's just a seat. It's the same no matter where you sit. You see, Miss Shen is so kind to me. She specially arranged a seat that I like best."
"I can see everyone who comes here. I couldn't be more satisfied with this. I really want to thank Miss Shen for taking such trouble for me."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but burst out laughing. This was really troublesome. The dignified daughter of the Xie family and the granddaughter of the boss of the pavilion actually sat at the bottom of the seat. The arrangement of this seat was really... Something is wrong.
Xie Zhu was grateful and grateful in her words, but the meaning behind her words was that this was specially arranged by Shen Mingzhu. Shen Mingzhu looked down on the Xie family, and it was her face.
Shen Mingzhu's face suddenly turned cold: "Miss Xie, do you have any objections to this position arrangement?"
Xie Zhu looked a little confused: "Why do you have an opinion? Miss Shen must have misunderstood, right? I don't have an opinion. This seat is my favorite. Am I not thanking Miss Shen? Does Miss Shen think I should have an opinion?" ?But why should I have an opinion?"
Shen Mingzhu was choked by a rebel general.
Why do you have an objection? Because you should feel that this seating arrangement is a slap in your face! You should feel uncomfortable!
Xie Zhu chuckled softly: "Is it right for Miss Shen to think that I should have an opinion?"
You are all vixens who have been cultivating for thousands of years. Why are you just hanging here with me?
Shen Mingzhu's face turned blue and red, almost ugly.
She had specially arranged the seats for Gu You and Xie Zhu. Her original intention was to make them dissatisfied with their seats and cause trouble. When the time came, she would say a few words condescendingly, which would give them face and correct them.
But she didn't expect that this girl, Xie Zhu, was indeed capable and would use this matter to defeat her.
Shen Mingzhu said: "This seat was arranged by the people below. I didn't look carefully. If anyone is not satisfied with this seat, just change it with someone else. It's just a spring party for us girls to get together. , there is no need to discuss whether someone is superior or inferior, sitting is not the place to sit."
Cao Sijin said: "Yes, you can sit wherever you sit, that's it."
Xie Zhu said: "I think this position is really great. Please don't compete with me. No matter who it is, I will never trade it with you."
Shen Mingzhu's face turned cold again. All the girls in the Xie family were equally annoying. Xie Shisan was like this, and so was Xie Zhu.
"Then take a seat." Shen Mingzhu took a deep breath. At this moment, someone came to report that the carriage from the Changning Marquis Mansion had arrived. Shen Mingzhu felt better after hearing the news.
"Miss Gu must be here, go and invite her in." Shen Mingzhu reached out and stroked a strand of hair by her ear with a gentle smile, "Maybe something happened on the way and delayed her, so it's too late now. After a while Now that she’s here, please don’t argue with her.”
As soon as she said this, everyone present, even if they were not human spirits, could understand what she meant. It seemed that she was speaking for Gu You and asking everyone not to argue with Gu You. In fact, she was saying that Gu You was late and had done something wrong. Something happened.
Xu Pingting sneered, glanced at Xie Zhu, then turned around and walked over to her seat to sit down. Then she slowly poured herself a cup of tea, planning to watch the show.
Gu You arrived late, with a look of reluctance on his face.
At this moment, she was wearing a bright red waist-length skirt, an equally bright red shirt with large sleeves, and a golden hairpin on her head. Her face looked bright and magnificent.
When Shen Mingzhu saw her, she raised her eyebrows and asked with a smile: "Are you Gu You from Changning Marquis Mansion?"
