Hall Master Zhou bought a small foreign-style house to house his newly married concubine.

The small foreign-style building has a total of three floors, with about a hundred rooms above and below. There are two flower beds on the left and right of the large front yard, filled with roses of various colors.

In the center, a fountain is built with milky white statues.

Inside the gate, the sound of piano floats slowly, elegant and ethereal.

There were numerous guests.

The entire dining room and living room are connected and can accommodate one to two hundred guests.

The old-fashioned clothes Yan Xin wore did not stand out among the guests.

"This place is so luxurious!" Jiang Siqiao sighed as soon as he entered the door.

"The leader of the Qing Gang has a lot of money." The second young master of the Jiang family answered with envy.

The eldest lady glanced at them and implicitly warned: "When you get here, you must be careful in everything you say and do!"

Hall Master Zhou married one concubine after another, had countless children, and the interests of the family were so intertwined that it was easy to say the wrong thing.

Everyone in the Jiang family immediately lowered their voices and held their breath.

Hall Master Zhou came out happily wearing a bright red gown and wedding attire.

Yan Xin's father-in-law Jiang Zhiheng immediately came forward and said repeatedly: "Congratulations."

Hall Leader Zhou is the same as the Third Young Master, short, fat, and dark; he is in his fifties and has big yellow teeth.

Everyone in the Jiang family was smiling and congratulated him on marrying his new concubine.

Mrs. Jiang said: "My concubine is so lucky to be favored by the hall master."

Yan Xin listened quietly.

Hall Master Zhou was naturally very happy.

Then another guest came in, and he went to greet them, leaving everyone in the Jiang family to do what they wanted.

Zhou Congling, the eldest son of Hall Master Zhou, came forward and invited the eldest master Jiang Zhiheng to take a seat at the head table.

Although the guests were all in the living room and dining room, the banquet was arranged in the backyard.

The backyard is huge and has a stage.

When Yan Xin was about to take a seat, the second young lady bumped into her.

"Sorry, sister Xi, I have sprained my ankle." The second young lady smiled.

He looked like he was "not caring about past grievances".

Yan Xin supported her: "Second sister-in-law, be careful."

The second young lady smiled, turned around and left, looking very talkative.

After she left, Yan Xin touched his pocket and remained calm.

A maid offered her tea.

Yan Xin shook the maid's hand, still looking at the stage.

Before the dinner party started, everyone gathered to talk, and Zhou Baoru, the second young lady of the Zhou family, actually came to Yan Xin's side.

"...Last time I went to your house, my attitude was wrong." Zhou Baoru said with a smile, "Don't be angry."

Yan Xin: "What did the second lady say? How can I take it to heart about a little quarrel?"

Zhou Baoru: "As expected of the adopted daughter of the Governor's wife, she has a big heart."

It seemed that she realized belatedly that Yan Xin really had connections with the Governor's Mansion, and that was why she was willing to apologize.

She talked to Yan Xin for a long time.

Naturally, Yan Xin also accompanied her.

Many people looked over.

Some people know Yan Xin and say that she is the young lady from Jiang Jiaxi who is new to the limelight.

About twenty minutes passed before Zhou Baoru ended her random chatter, got up and left.

Before the banquet started, Hall Master Zhou's eighth concubine wore a bright red cheongsam with gold peony threads, snuggled up next to Hall Master Zhou, and walked over together.

She has a round face, almond-shaped eyes, and a very blessed look. She is fair and has fleshy arms, and she looks very beautiful and cute.

And her expression was so happy and proud, without any reluctance.

Yan Xin doesn't understand the young woman very well, but he also admires her acting skills.

The banquet began.

At the end of the banquet, Hall Master Zhou left the banquet, and many distinguished guests followed him.

The eighth aunt was still sitting at the main table, chatting with the woman next to her.

"Ouch!" Second Miss Zhou Baoru suddenly exclaimed.

Everyone looked at her in confusion.

"I, the ruby ​​ring I planned to give to my eighth mother is missing." Zhou Baoru was shocked, "I wrapped it in a kerchief and put it on me."

The guests were extremely shocked.

Everyone helped in the search.

Then asked Zhou Baoru where he had gone.

"I haven't left yet. I'm just here in the backyard. I just talked to Young Madam Jiang Jiaxi for a while," Zhou Baoru said.

Everyone's eyes fell on Yan Xin.

Yan Xin also showed a little anxiety: "Really? I'll look for it too."

She looked under the table and then in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

"The lights are dim and I can't find it," Yan Xin said.

Zhou Baoru: "Here, come quickly and get a flashlight."

After a while, a servant took a flashlight.

Zhou Baoru came over and looked in front of and behind Yan Xin's seat.

Everyone gathered here.

Zhou Baoru searched for a long time but couldn't find it. He suddenly said to Yan Xin, "Mrs. Xi, isn't it you who hid it?"

Yan Xin was stunned.

"Miss Baoru, are you spitting blood?" Yan Xin said angrily, "In this case, I want to ask the governor's wife to comment."

"Don't be upset." Zhou Baoru said politely, "Aren't I anxious? I talked to you for a long time and everyone saw it."

"Yes, you did talk for a long time." Second Young Mistress Sun Meiqing said loudly, "If I lost it, it must have been left with you.

Now that the thing is gone, who knows if it was Sister Xi who you picked up and hid? That is a valuable ruby. Sister Xi, you like rubies so much. "

Everyone looked at Yan Xin's wrist.

On her wrist was a gold bracelet set with a small ruby.

Yan Xin's face darkened: "What do you mean, second sister-in-law? Do you suspect me of stealing?"

"Such a big ruby ​​is missing. It was my gift to my eighth mother." Zhou Baoru was so anxious that she almost cried, "I just want to look for it. If Mrs. Xi is innocent, why are you afraid to ask?"

The crowd whispered.

Yan Xin was very funny: "Ask me? So you suspect that I stole it?"

Second Young Mistress Sun Meiqing: "Those who are clean will be clean themselves!"

"What do you two mean, are you going to search me?" Yan Xin asked coldly.

Zhou Baoru immediately said: "Don't dare, you are an honored guest. Since you said you didn't see me, then I consider myself unlucky."

Yan Xin looked at her.

The second young lady was beside her and said, "Brother and sister Xi, I don't want you to be involved in such rumors.

Since everyone suspects you, why don't you let someone search you? What's wrong with a gentleman not standing behind a dangerous wall to clear himself of suspicion? "

Yan Xin still sneered: "The treat is fake, but taking the opportunity to throw dirty water on me is real. It's funny, I'd better ask my godmother, what's the point of this?"

Everyone looked different.

Zhou Baoru said generously: "Forget it then."

Then he looked at the Eighth Aunt, "Eighth Mom, I'll look for something good to give to you later. I was really negligent today."

Hall Master Zhou seemed to have heard what was going on here, and it was probably the servant who went to tell him.

He squeezed over.

"what happened?"

The eighth aunt immediately told him in a sweet voice.

Hall Master Zhou frowned deeply and scolded his daughter: "Nonsense! It's your incompetence that caused the thing to be lost. You actually want to search the distinguished guests. How do you behave!"

Yan Xin looked at the expressions of the guests watching the show and was silent for a moment before saying, "You can search me, but I have a request."

Zhou Baoru immediately said: "What are you asking for? I just want to find my gem. It is worth a lot of money and is rare. I specially found it for my eighth mother. I will agree to whatever you ask for."
