Chapter 920: Attending a Banquet
Translator: Lonelytree
At night, there was a knock on the door.
âMiss Nanxing, miss Fu He invites you to attend a banquet in the main hall of Peony Garden.â
I smiled knowingly and patted the mute girl. âLetâs go and watch the show.â
The Mute Girlâs mood was a little depressed.
âMute girl, why were your family members arrested? And why did they let you out?â
The mute girl thought about it seriously and gestured. âBig Brotherâs mission failed. Second Brother made a mistake, so father and mother were arrested. If I performed well, they would be released.â
I sighed lightly. This silly girl was too naive. She didnât know anything, and her family protected her very well.
The mute girl suddenly gestured. âThey lied to me!â
I nodded. It wasnât too bad. She wasnât completely silly.
The mute girl knelt down again, but she clutched the corner of her clothes tightly. She didnât gesture anymore.
I patted her gently. âMute girl, donât think too much. Letâs protect ourselves first. When we meet your second brother, the truth will be revealed. Your parents and eldest brother wonât die in vain. Most importantly, we have to live well.â
The mute girl bit her lip and finally nodded.
âWen Dian is setting up a trap outside, so Iâm going to create chaos at his home. He must be very proud to have raised so many women. Since he looks down on women so much, then Iâll show him how women can destroy him!â
Fu He was still very influential in this family.
When I arrived, I saw that Yang Yang and Zhao Mei had already arrived. They warmly invited me to sit beside them, and I couldnât decline their hospitality.
âNanxing, I thought you wouldnât come! You actually came as well?â Yang Yang shouted.
I smiled.
Yang Yang was somewhat disappointed. âYou shouldnât have come! Look, Fang Jing didnât come at all.â
âWhy?â I asked.
Yang Yang glared at me. âIsnât that admitting defeat? We donât care. We donât even have the qualifications to compete with Miss Fu. But what are you afraid of? Iâm telling you that miss Fu doesnât have any family background. She relies on the old Madamâs love. She has a childhood friendship with the young master. Iâm telling you, weâve already contacted your family. Our family has sent word. So, you canât admit defeat, understand? We support you!â
Yang Yang waved her fists and gritted her teeth.
I couldnât help but laugh. âAre you two going to cheer me on when I fight with her?â
The two of them felt a little awkward.
I patted their shoulders. âDonât be impatient. Whatâs the rush? Weâll just wait and see if thereâs a chance.â
Just as we were speaking, Fang Jing arrived. She was obviously forced to come. Her face was filled with unwillingness.
Yang Yang nudged Zhao Mei and me with her shoulder. âIt looks like she didnât manage to hold on either. I thought she was very strong.â
I said calmly, âWen Dian isnât at home, so whoâs going to support her?â
Yang Yang nodded in admiration. âWell said!â
Fang Jing chased away the beauty closest to the main seat and sat down. She then glared at everyone around her. When she saw me, she was stunned and glared at me even more fiercely.
I smiled at her.
She suddenly stood up, probably intending to come at me. At this moment, Fu He arrived.
Behind Fu He, there were four maids. This was truly a grand scene. All the maids quieted down and looked at her in unison.
Fu He sat at the main seat and swept her gaze across everyone. When her gaze landed on me, she revealed a smile.
âActually, Iâve always been unwilling to meet any of you. However, Nanxing reminded me that in the future, when everyone lives under the same roof, there must be a rule. It also lets everyone know who the future queen is and who you should listen to. There must be some rules. Therefore, everyone should thank Miss Nanxing,â Fu He said unhurriedly.
