"Alright then, let's hang her up." Shi Xiaonian said, "Isn't there a banquet for women tonight? I thought that when the time comes, they would come find me."
I will try to find out more about it later.
"Yes."
Li Qingyan nodded.
Shi Xiaonian turned the cup in her hand, and her brows knitted slightly. She could not help but ask, "Is there anything else on your mind, Young Madam?"
He should be happy to find traces of Eldest Young Master on his first day here."I keep having the feeling that this trip... It's too calm. " Shi Xiaonian said in a low voice, "It's so quiet that I feel inexplicably uneasy."
She didn't know how many waves were hidden underneath the calm and peaceful anniversary sacrifice, but she couldn't take the wrong step or the consequences would be unpredictable.
Just like the matter of making friends with Guan Delin, she almost made a mistake when she wasn't paying attention. Fortunately, Li Qingyan was the one to remind her."An environment like Lancaster family's will definitely make people nervous. Don't think too much about it." Li Qingyan sat closer to her, "Don't worry, I will always be by your side, protecting you with my life."
Shi Xiaonian looked at her emotionally and joked, "Then I don't dare, I have to protect you well, or else your family member will come and find trouble with me."
Mentioning her husband, Li Qingyan smiled shyly, without showing any signs of being capable.
Women in love are like little girls.Shi Xiaonian thought back to how Gong Ou had eaten buns in the morning, and the curve of his lips unconsciously rose as well.
At night, there was another endless banquet, this time only for the women.
In front of the brightly lit villa by the lake, there was a light reflected on the surface of the lake. It was like golden rays of light had sprinkled over the lake, and a faint mist lingered around everyone.
Shi Xiaonian sat in front of a table by the lake with Luo Qi.
The servant poured the good black tea into cups, Shi Xiaonian hugged the cup as she watched Luo Qi converse with the few noble women, discussing about how good her family was, or showing her admiration and admiration towards Luo Qi.
Shi Xiaonian did not say anything, but only smiled along from beginning to end.
This noblewoman's banquet was not much different from a normal gathering. The only difference was that she nearly poured out a handful of sunflower seeds and peeled them while chatting.
"From tomorrow onwards, it will be Mo Nuo's annual tribute. Once set, it will be held for a whole three days." A lady with red lips sighed and said, "It's such a pity that Mister George dotes on this daughter of his."
When they said that, Shi Xiaonian and Luo Qi did not even have a chance to express anything, the faces of the noblewomen beside them were all ugly, some of them lightly nudged them with their elbows.
The atmosphere suddenly turned awkward.
Seeing this, Luo Qi laughed, "The marriage of our children is fated to happen. Even though we can't form an alliance through marriage, our two families have always been on good terms."
"That's right." Everyone followed one another as they thought to themselves, "Do you think I'm an idiot or something? Only ghosts would believe that your two families had always been on good terms with each other.""Furthermore, with Gong Ou's personality, even I cannot subdue him. Only my minuscule thought can make him listen to me obediently." Luo Qi suddenly changed the topic to Shi Xiaonian as he looked at her with an exceptionally affectionate and appreciative gaze.
Shi Xiaonian was overwhelmed by the favor.The noble women looked left and right, admiring Luo Qi's indifference. Actually, everyone knew that Gong Ou had some problems, but since Luo Qi was able to say it so frankly, it made it hard for everyone to say anything.
"I heard that Second Young Madam is a Cartoonist and has painted a few paintings before. My daughter even has a painting." A noblewoman said in a flattering manner. The atmosphere immediately became lively.
Then, everyone started to talk about the Lancaster family. Shi Xiaonian listened for a while and learned some social skills from Luo Qi.
She turned the cup in her hand, and the moment she turned her head, she saw the petite Guan Delin standing at the lakeside not far away, smiling at her.
Although the name of the female member of the family was Madam George's, the rest of the people on the public relations stage were Guan Delin.
After thinking about it, Shi Xiaonian placed the teacup on the table, and whispered into Luo Qi's ear, "Mother, I'll go see Guan Delin."Luo Qi nodded, "Okay."
"Ladies and gentlemen, farewell."
Shi Xiaonian stood up, politely lowered her head, then turned to leave. Li Qingyan, who had been closely accompanying him all this while, immediately followed along.
By the lakeside, before Shi Xiaonian could approach, she had already passionately welcomed her. She glanced at her ears but didn't see any "Y" shaped ear drill, and a look of disappointment flashed past his eyes.
"Second Young Madam Gong, you are really gorgeous tonight. Guan Delin picked up the words from the ground and obediently listened to her, looking at her with a face full of worship.
Shi Xiaonian stood there and smiled faintly, showing a distant and arrogant attitude, "Miss Guan sure knows how to speak."
"I mean it. How is the dinner? Second Young Madam can instruct me anytime. " Guan Delin lowered her posture with all her might.
"Is Miss Guan the one in charge of the dinner party? "No wonder everyone is present." Shi Xiaonian said politely.
Hearing this, Guan Delin smiled a little proudly, turned around and pointed to a small table by the lake, "Second Young Madam, this way, please."
Shi Xiaonian nodded indifferently and walked towards the table.
Once she walked over, Guan Delin couldn't help but stick close to Li Qingyan and ask softly, "Second Young Madam doesn't like the ear drill that I gift to you? Do you think that someone would wear an identical set? "He was really anxious, wanting to climb up Shi Xiaonian's branch.
Li Qingyan held back the urge to laugh, and said: "Is Sister Guan afraid of showing off your feelings wrongly?"
Right after she finished speaking, Shi Xiaonian looked as if she had just recalled something. Her eyes lightly swept across Guan Delin, "Oh right, Miss Guan, thank you for your gift. I like it very much. If you like anything, I will ask Qing Yan to prepare a gift. "
Hearing this, Guan Delin excitedly welcomed her. "It's good that Second Young Madam likes it, if she is willing to accept it, then it's a great honor for me, this is the best present."
Shi Xiaonian laughed, "Sit."
Guan Delin sat down beside her and helped Shi Xiaonian pour the black tea. Shi Xiaonian took the cup and gently touched it with her fingertips before asking casually, "That ear drill is very special.It was rare that Shi Xiaonian took the initiative to bring up the topic, so Guan Delin naturally spent a lot of effort to cater to him, "Yeah, this friend of mine is really special, her talent and talent are both good, she's a good piano talker, but she's always been untalented. I pulled him to my side to do something, and helped me a lot."
A good piano.
Who else could it be other than Gong Yu?
Shi Xiaonian remained silent.
"If he was not too taciturn, did not know how to communicate well, and was afraid of offending the Second Young Madam, I would have definitely sent him to meet you, a close friend." Guan Delin said.It sounded like Guan Delin really didn't know Gong Yu's real identity. Once Gong Yu had hidden his real identity, she was really unable to figure out his identity when he had been by her side for too long under the name of "Mr. Y".
"How can someone with such character become friends with Miss Guan when he is quiet?" Shi Xiaonian asked indifferently.
"I admire his talent." Guan Delin laughed and said, a look of love and adoration flashed past his eyes, but he was being controlled well by her, "People like me talk too much normally, but I prefer to be quiet in private."
Shi Xiaonian pursed her lips, this brother couldn't have harmed a woman's heart, right?"That does sound like a good fit." Shi Xiaonian said.
Guan Delin chatted a lot with her, but she didn't have any central thoughts in his words, but there was only one meaning behind his words. She wanted to get a promotion from Shi Xiaonian in the future.
Guan Delin had even faintly mentioned that Lancaster was inferior to before, and that she no longer had the ability to use it.
Shi Xiaonian listened to her chat for an hour, trying her best to endure it as she put on a airs. Guan Delin used all of her skills, not even caring about entertaining her.Shi Xiaonian cleared her throat and looked at Guan Delin indifferently. "Miss Guan, to tell you the truth, I really like the design of that pair of ear drill. It just so happens that I lack a special jewelry designer by my side."
Guan Delin had been in the social scene for many years, and after hearing this, he understood that Shi Xiaonian had given him a chance, but the condition was to buy one for free.
"Being able to be chosen by the Second Young Madam is my friend's honor, it's just that his temper is a bit weird, can I go back and ask?" Guan Delin did not immediately agree.
Shi Xiaonian was silent.
Li Qingyan stood up and said, "Young Mistress is looking for the jewelry designer to show filial piety to Madam. Honestly speaking, we have already searched for a long time, if Sister Guan is not convenient to cut our love, I will look for someone else for Young Mistress."
Guan Delin would never let go of such an opportunity, and anxiously said, "Second Young Madam is mistaken, I am not unwilling to surrender, let's do it this way, tomorrow I will definitely let him report to Second Young Madam.""I want to meet them first and see if they are indeed talented." Li Qingyan stopped himself from speaking with a face full of arrogance.
"Yes, of course."
Guan Delin nodded, smiling with great difficulty, as she tried to figure out how to make this friend of her work for him.Shi Xiaonian listened silently, and the speed of her finger turning the cup increased.
Done.
She wanted to see how Gong Yu still hadn't appeared. As long as she could find him, Gong Ou would be at ease.
Shi Xiaonian raised her head and looked at Li Qingyan. They smiled at each other and just as she was about to stand up and leave, she suddenly heard a sharp scream of terror, "Ah — Help, help!"
It was a woman's scream.
Shi Xiaonian also stood up, and quickly walked towards the source of the voice. She saw a girl wearing a shoulder revealing dress, running in from outside while screaming, one of her feet stepping on top of her heels, the other bare-chested. Her face was filled with fear.
Suddenly, the girl's foot twisted and she fell heavily onto the grass by the lake.
Everyone gathered around, and Guan Delin recognized that it was a certain noble's young miss, and immediately went forward to help her up, "Miss Selina, what's wrong? Are you okay? "
"Ghost, zombie, ghost, zombie …" The girl was sitting on the grass, looking completely disfigured as she muttered to herself in fear.
"What?"
"I see Mo Nuo! That's her soul! "
