When they arrived at the banquet in the backyard, they saw Madam Xu walking towards them with a happy look on her face.

"Mrs. Lu, Madam Lu, Ah Shu, you are here. Come on, I have reserved a seat for you."

After saying that, she looked around, but didn't see the person she most expected to see, and couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

It turned out that my aunt really didn’t come.

If my husband and father-in-law knew about this, they would probably be disappointed.

However, this kind of loss was fleeting. Madam Xu immediately put on a smile again, took Madam Yuan's hand, and led them to their seats.

He Feng, Gu Yunxi and Madam Yuan sat next to each other, with Madam Yuan sitting below the main seat.

"Come, try these fruits and snacks first, and we'll serve lunch later."

Madam Xu ordered the maid to stand behind them and said, "If you need anything later, just ask the maid for help."

"There are many guests coming today. I will go and receive them first. I will come back to talk to you later."

After saying this, Madam Xu was hurriedly pulled away by the maid.

Madam Yuan smiled helplessly and said, "We don't need to worry about her. She has always been busy running around in the mansion. I'm used to it."

Madam Xu is the head of the household. The Xu family is large and powerful, and it requires a lot of hard work. Plus, there are troublesome people in the second and third branches of the Xu family, and Madam Xu has no one to help her.

Gu Yunxi roughly understood some of the Xu family's affairs. He looked at He Feng, lowered his head and picked up the fruits to eat.

"Well, this thing is really good and delicious! Mom, you eat it too!"

Gu Yunxi didn’t know what kind of fruits were on the banquet table, but they tasted good. She didn’t think too much about it and started eating.

She believed in Madam Xu's ability to get things done, and there couldn't be any problems with the things she was preparing to entertain the guests.

Otherwise, the Xu family's reputation will be ruined.

He Feng didn't think much about it, and seeing Madam Yuan also tasting the fruits, he smiled and picked them up to eat.

After sitting for a while, Mrs. Yuan was called away by a lady she knew well.

Gu Yunxi and He Feng didn't take it too seriously. They continued to smile and eat fruits and snacks while talking.

Suddenly, a woman sitting opposite them pointed at Gu Yunxi and seemed to be laughing at her.

Gu Yunxi raised his eyes and glanced at the woman.

The woman didn't know how to be discreet at all and continued to stare at Gu Yunxi with a mocking look on her face.

"Third sister-in-law, look at her. She actually dares to look at me like that. She has no manners or upbringing at all. I don't know where this country bumpkin came from!"

The woman's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just right for Gu Yunxi, who was sitting right opposite them, to hear.

She slowly put down the fruit, her face turned cold, and said to the woman opposite: "I don't know where this stray dog ​​came from, but it keeps barking. It really ruins the fun!"

The woman was so angry that her face turned blue. She pointed at Gu Yunxi's nose and cursed: "How dare you call me a wild dog! Do you know who I am?"

Gu Yunxi sneered: "I don't care who you are, just keep your mouth shut!"

"Okay, okay, stop arguing." Another woman sitting next to the woman hurriedly tried to stop the fight.

However, the woman refused to give in and shouted, "Third sister-in-law, look at her attitude. It's obvious that she doesn't take our Xu family seriously!"

He Feng couldn't help but interrupted, "Madam, you are going too far. My daughter-in-law and I just arrived here and were eating quietly when I heard you mocking my daughter-in-law for being a bumpkin!"

"It was you who started the trouble just now, and now you're saying that we don't put the Xu family down. What's the logic behind this?"

"If it weren't for Madam Xu, we wouldn't even want to come!"

The woman glared at He Feng and cursed, "Who the hell are you? Do you have the right to speak here?"

Mrs. Yuan was originally standing not far away and talking to other ladies. When she heard the noise, she immediately looked over.

This made her heart rise to her throat.

"What are you doing? What happened?" Mrs. Yuan hurriedly ran back to Gu Yunxi.

Mrs. Xu also heard the noise and rushed over. When she saw the situation, she immediately understood what had happened.

Madam Xu looked at her two younger siblings coldly.

Before Gu Yunxi could speak, Madam Xu II shouted, "Sister-in-law, you are finally back. Look who invited this bumpkin here. She called me a stray dog ​​when I said a few words to her!"

Madam Xu San was sharp-eyed and always cunning. Seeing that Madam Xu Da and Madam Yuan's reactions seemed not right, she immediately pulled Madam Xu Er's clothes.

However, Mrs. Xu was so angry that her eyes turned red, and she didn't even think about what Mrs. Xu's actions meant.

"Third sister-in-law, please don't pull me. I have never been treated like this in my life. A bumpkin actually called me a stray dog. I am so angry!"

"Sister-in-law, please make the decision for me. Is such a person worthy of attending our banquet?"

However, before Madam Xu could make a decision for her, Madam Yuan spoke up.

"Oh, Madam Xu is really eloquent. According to you, what kind of person is worthy of attending your Xu family's banquet?"

"Mrs. Xu keeps calling me a bumpkin. I think you are really blind. This is obviously a great beauty, right, Yaqin?"

Madam Xu Da had a cold expression on her face. She also glared at Madam Xu Er and said in a cold voice, "That's right, Second Sister-in-law, what did you say to my guest just now? Otherwise, why would they call you... a wild dog?"

Mrs. Xu was left speechless by Mrs. Yuan's retort.

She looked at Mrs. Xu for help, hoping that she could help her.

However, Mrs. Xu pretended not to see it and turned her head to chat with the person next to her.

"I, I didn't say anything just now. I'm just like that, I'm dressed so poorly, I look like a bumpkin!"

Mrs. Xu was still being stubborn and refused to admit that she had said anything wrong.

At this time, Gu Yunxi stood up and said to Madam Xu with a smile: "Madam, if that's the case, then we country bumpkins will go back first."

After saying that, Gu Yunxi pulled He Feng and stood up.

Madam Xu Da was anxious when she saw this, and she said to Madam Xu Er in a stern voice, "Second sister-in-law, it seems that your eye disease has really recurred today. Someone, send Madam Er back home, and take care of her!"

Madam Xu seemed unable to believe her ears. Her sister-in-law actually wanted to force her to leave in front of so many guests?

"I don't..." she screamed.

However, the next second, her mouth was covered by the burly old woman and she was dragged out.

"Madam, you are not feeling well. I will personally take you back to rest."

The old woman walked briskly, holding Madam Xu's hand, and walked very quickly. Soon they disappeared from everyone's sight.

Mrs. Xu was so frightened when she saw this that she covered her mouth and dared not say a word.
