The Duke Dingguo's Mansion was located near the Imperial City and was much better than the Su Mansion.
Chen Yunjin and Yue Li sat in the same carriage, talking non-stop about the splendor and wealth of the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, attempting to arouse her endless jealousy and envy.
Yue Li saw through Chen Yunjin's thoughts, and her face was indifferent, not revealing any trace of herself. She only said softly,""No matter how rich the Duke Dingguo's Mansion is, you must remember not to lose the face of the Shen family. You and I are both daughters of the Shen family and cannot be looked down upon by others.”
Chen Yunjin sneered when she heard that. She looked at Yueli, who was dressed in a light yellow dress." You can't be afraid, right? Speaking of which, it's true. Rui Chu and I are close friends, so she naturally treats me differently. As for you…" He paused for a moment as he said this, and his gaze towards Yueli carried a hint of ferocity." You probably don't know, but Rui Chu is infatuated with Prince Zhongxin.”
What was he trying to show off by being so smug?
Yue Li felt that Shen Yunjin was so simple-minded at times that it made one speechless." Dong Ruichu is infatuated with Prince Zhongxin, and you are also deeply in love with Prince Zhongxin. I don't like this marriage either. Under such circumstances, if my marriage can be annulled, do you think Prince Zhongxin will choose you or Dong Ruichu?”
Sowing discord was not Chen Yunjin's exclusive method. A faint layer of sadness was shrouded between Yue Li's brows." I've said it long ago. If you want this marriage, as long as you can take it away, just take it. But what are you doing now? Are you trying to help others take away the marriage you want?”
"What nonsense are you spouting? You clearly want to kill Shen Ruiyi, but you're just lying to me.”Chen Yunjin's face was flushed red, and the gaze she gave Yueli was so intense that she wished she could swallow her whole.
Yueli gave a light snort before saying,""Ninth Younger Sister is just a girl born from a concubine, do you think King Zhongxin would agree? Where did you hear such a false rumor? You actually believed it. Only you would believe it.”
Chen Yun Jin was stunned. That's right, that little slut Shen Rui Yi was merely a concubine's child, how could Prince Zhongxin take a fancy to her?
She…She was really muddle-headed from anger. Her red lips pursed as she stared at Yueli." No, why would Ruichu do such a thing? It was clearly not like this when she told me.”
Yueli's brows furrowed tightly when she heard that. For a moment, she was so angry that her rage soared to the sky." You told Dong Ruichu everything about your family? Don't you know that you can't wash your dirty linen in public? Now that he had been schemed against, he actually did not know how to repent.”
"No, Ruichu has always treated me very well. Why would she do this? I know. You must be jealous of my friendship with her. That's why you're trying to sow discord between us. I won't believe you.”
Yueli almost fell back in anger. She had never seen such a silly person.
"Don't give up until you hit the south wall. Don't cry until you see the coffin.”Yueli sighed. However, she was even more cautious about this trip to the Duke Dingguo's Mansion. It seemed that this Dong Ruichu was even more formidable than she had imagined.
The carriage stopped and the two of them got off. They saw that the wide street outside the Duke Dingguo's Mansion was filled with luxurious carriages. It was dazzling.
Yueli and Chen Yunjin alighted from the carriage and immediately felt many pairs of eyes looking over from the surroundings.
Yue Li walked forward unconcernedly. Chen Yunjin walked beside her and said smugly,""There are a lot of people today. Don't embarrass yourself and drag me down. Otherwise, I'll be polite to you.”
A childish threat, Yue Li ignored it completely. The person who came to welcome them was a person who looked like a housekeeper. She smiled and bowed to the two of them. It seemed that she was very familiar with Chen Yun Jin,"Paying respects to Second Shen Young Lady. Our Young Lady has been waiting for you for a long time." This must be the young miss. This servant pays her respects to you.”
Yue Li turned her body to the side to receive a bow and said indifferently,""No need to be so polite."
This old woman looked like someone with some status in the Dong Clan. Her pair of eyes swept across Yueli's body like sharp blades. Although this face could be considered a beauty, it was really too inferior compared to their Eldest Miss. It was really a waste of God's gift for Prince Zhongxin to marry such a woman.
She kept complaining in her heart, but her mouth was like a lotus flower as she welcomed the two of them in.
Walking all the way in, Yueli realized that there were not only female guests at today's banquet, but there were actually male guests as well.
It seemed like the atmosphere of the Great Region Dynasty was indeed very open. As a modern person, he did not feel awkward at all. He walked through the crowd openly and allowed countless pairs of eyes to size him up.
"Yun Jin, you're here."
A crisp and melodious voice came from the front, carrying a hint of intimacy and joy. Yueli raised her head and looked over. She saw the person who had arrived wearing a light purple long dress with a gold-woven jade belt tied around her waist. Her long black hair was tied up into a flying fairy bun, and the little silver bell tied around her waist made a cheerful sound as she moved.
Her brows were as beautiful as a painting, her skin was as smooth as snow, and her beauty was natural. Her appearance could topple cities. Such a great beauty, with a sweet smile, Yue Li could hear quite a number of men present exclaiming in admiration.
"Sister Ruichu." Chen Yun Jin smiled and went forward to greet him." You're so beautiful today."”
Dong Ruichu pursed his lips and smiled. He reached out and tapped Chen Yunjin's forehead." You only know how to spout nonsense. Which lady here isn't beautiful?"”
The two of them were very intimate as they chatted and laughed. The people around them also started laughing. Everyone's eyes finally landed on Yueli. Dong Ruichu looked at Yueli and sized her up before saying with a smile,""This is Miss Dong?"
Chen Yun Jin nodded, looking unhappy.
Yueli looked at Dong Ruichu acting coquettishly here, pretending to be magnanimous and displaying his charm. Then, he sized her up with a high and mighty look before speaking in a benevolent manner, as if it was her honor to be able to speak to her.
Yue Li had no interest in such a ten-thousand-year-old lotus b * tch. The only thing she was interested in was her rumored superb medical skills.
Hearing Dong Ruichu's question, Yueli nodded her head lightly." Miss Dong and I have never met before and have no friendship at all. May I know why you invited me here today?”
As soon as he said this, the noisy courtyard seemed to quieten down. She probably didn't expect that someone would actually talk to Dong Ruichu like this. After all, she was a person with outstanding medical skills from the Flowing Immortal Palace. Even the royal family would be polite to her.
Dong Ruichu was also slightly stunned. He never thought that the rumored cowardly and incompetent Miss Shen would have the courage to speak to her like this.
Dong Ruichu said slowly,""Even though Eldest Shen Young Lady likes to live in seclusion, now that she has been bestowed with a marriage by the Emperor, it is time for her to come out and walk around. After all, everyone will meet more often in the future and it is not good to not know each other. Today, it just so happens that I am holding a banquet and on account of the brocade, I invited Eldest Shen Young Lady to come over for a gathering.”
This high and mighty almsgiving attitude, Yue Li immediately burst out laughing.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:082820187:33PM
