He Feng's sweet words made Mrs. He happy and she couldn't stop smiling.

"Tell me, you two came to see me together, there must be something." Mrs. He's expression became more serious.

Gu Yunxi smiled and said, "Nothing can be hidden from grandma's eyes."

After saying that, she took out the invitation sent by the Xu family and handed it to Mrs. He.

"Grandma, this was sent by Madam Xu. Would you like to take a look?"

Mrs. He paused when she heard this, but still took the invitation and read it carefully.

After a while, Mrs. He slowly said, "Mrs. Xu will hold a banquet at home the day after tomorrow, and she has invited the women in our family to go with us."

"Yes, mother, do you think it is better for us to go or not?" He Feng asked cautiously.

"Mom, if you say go, we'll go. If you say don't go, we won't go. We'll listen to you."

Gu Yunxi also followed up and said, "Yes, Grandma, you decide, should we go or not?"

Mrs. He hesitated for a moment, staring at the red invitation.

After a while, she sighed and said, "Actually, now in the capital, these interactions are unavoidable."

Although she herself really doesn't like to attend these banquets, and most likely the banquets are hosted by her mother's family, the Xu family, but He Feng and Gu Yunxi need it!

The two of them, one is the mother of grandson Lu Jianchuan, and the other is Lu Jianchuan's wife. Lu Jianchuan is now an official in the court, and sometimes, communication between women is also necessary.

Otherwise, it might have a negative impact on Lu Jianchuan's career in the future.

"Go ahead, Feng'er, you, Yunxi and Yunle should go too." Mrs. He said.

As for Lu Qingqing, she is about to get married to Gao Zongwang, so she should concentrate on embroidering her wedding dress at home and not go out to attend these banquets.

He Feng hesitated and said, "Mom, do you really want us to go? What if the Xu family is...your mother's family, what should we do?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yunxi looked at Mrs. He nervously.

Mrs. He smiled and said, "It's okay. Even if it's really the Xu family, they may not know your relationship with me. It's not a big problem."

"Unless my eldest brother is still alive, or my eldest nephew, no one else in the Xu Mansion knows me."

Hearing what Mrs. He said, He Feng had no choice but to nod and said, "Okay, mother, then I will go with Yun Xi and Yun Le the day after tomorrow."

As for Wang Jiaozhen and Wenwen, forget about it. Wang Jiaozhen is busy with the embroidery shop all day long and has no time to rest. Even if she could rest, she doesn't want to.

Wenwen now has a special maid to take care of her. The day after tomorrow, I will ask my mother and Qingqing to help look after her at home. There is no big problem.

The matter was settled in this way.

At the same time, the Xu family.

The maid who delivered the invitation returned to the Xu residence with brisk steps and was reporting to Madam Xu.

"Madam, I have personally handed the invitation to Madam Lu. Madam Lu is also here. They both accepted the invitation with a smile."

"Did they say they would definitely come?" Mrs. Xu asked with a sigh of relief.

The old woman was stunned. She thought carefully and seemed not to have heard Madam Lu or Madam Lu say that they must come back for the banquet?

"Oh, Madam, I was so focused on answering Madam Lu's question that I forgot to ask." The old woman knelt down with a look of regret on her face.

"However, from the look on Madam Lu's face, I think she wants to come to the banquet!"

Madam Xu waved her hand and said, "Okay, you can go down."

When the maid left, Madam Xu's eyes flickered, she clutched her handkerchief tightly, and thought, "Madam Lu and Madam Lu should be back, right?"

But what if they don’t want to come?

After thinking about it, Mrs. Xu decided to go directly to Mrs. Yuan.

The distance between Xu's residence and Minister Yuan's residence was relatively close, so they arrived there quickly.

Madam Yuan was fiddling with the pots of top-quality peonies. When she saw Madam Xu coming, she smiled and asked, "Yaqin, how come you have time to come here?"

The Xu family is large and powerful. Now that Yaqin is in charge, she is busy enough just with the affairs of the house.

At this hour, Yaqin actually had time to come and see her? This made Madam Yuan feel like the sun was about to rise in the west.

Madam Xu smiled and said, "Oh, what's wrong? Can't I come to see you if nothing happens?"

The two have known each other since childhood and have been good friends for many years. They are very familiar with each other. When Mrs. Yuan heard Mrs. Xu say this, she laughed even more.

"I don't know you yet. Tell me, what's the matter with you coming to see me?"

Madam Xu watched Madam Yuan taking the shower and slowly walked towards the main room. She sat down and took a sip of tea before she started talking.

"Ashu, let me tell you something. Do you still remember Mrs. He?" Mrs. Xu asked mysteriously.

Madam Yuan looked at her and nodded with a smile: "Of course I know this, isn't she Madam Lu's mother?"

Speaking of which, it was she who introduced Mrs. He to Mrs. Xu!

Madam Xu continued, "Do you remember that I told you before that one of my master's aunts married into Ningchuan Mansion?"

"I remember, what does it have to do with Mrs. He?" Mrs. Yuan looked confused.

Madam Xu glanced at her and said unhappily, "Why would I mention Madam He for no reason? It's because of Madam He... She is my master's aunt who married into Ningchuan Mansion!"

“Ah???” Mrs. Yuan was completely stunned.

"How could such a coincidence happen? Oh my God, it's such a coincidence!"

Madam Yuan exclaimed, and after thinking for a moment, she asked in confusion, "But you didn't know each other when you went to the embroidery shop before? Did you only know each other in the past few days?"

Madam Xu shook her head: "No, when I came back from the embroidery shop that day, I told my master about the wife of Marquis Yongchang."

"As I was talking, I don't know why I mentioned Mrs. He."

"Originally, I was just chatting with the master as usual, but when my master heard the name Mrs. He, he was completely shocked."

"It was only later that I found out that my master's aunt married a businessman named He from Ningchuan Prefecture. We sent someone to check a few days ago and confirmed that Mrs. He is my master's aunt."

Mrs. Yuan finally understood what was said and was extremely surprised.

"So, your family, Madam He, and the Lu family are all relatives! Ouch!" Madam Yuan slapped her forehead, "If I had known earlier, I would have introduced you to the Lu family earlier."

"Yun Xi is a very capable girl, but there are some things I can't tell you. Your family is related to the Lu family, which is really enviable!"

Mrs. Yuan was truly envious from the bottom of her heart. Yun Xi was amazing, she was an expert in growing flowers!

With just one hand, you can find more than a dozen top-quality peonies. They can even mix rooting liquid and nutrient solution to make the dead branches take root and keep the flowers blooming.
