Dress up as a farmer's wife from the Wang family and fight for the best with space

Madam Xu was just thinking about it when suddenly, the servant from Old Master Xu's yard came.

The servant smiled and whispered to Madam Xu, "Madam, the old master asked me to come over and ask if the old lady of the Lu family has arrived?"

Madam Xu glanced at Gu Yunxi and He Feng, walked to a deserted place, lowered her voice, and spoke to the servant.

"The women of the Lu family are here, but the old lady is not here."

"Go back and tell the old man and the master that the people who came are my aunt's daughter and grandson's wife."

After receiving the response, the servant nodded and walked out.

Upon seeing this, Madam Xu returned to the banquet and spoke to Gu Yunxi and the other ladies with a smile.

Mrs. Xu San wanted to come over and talk to Gu Yunxi several times, but Gu Yunxi's attitude towards her was just indifferent.

Gu Yunxi answered whatever Mrs. Xu San asked, briefly and sparingly with words.

In contrast, when talking to Madam Xu, Gu Yunxi's smile was much more sincere and he spoke more.

Not only Gu Yunxi, but even the ladies who usually got along well with her no longer paid much attention to her.

Mrs. Xu San tightly grasped her handkerchief, unable to maintain the smile on her face any longer. She sat there for a long while longer, then left the banquet with an excuse.

"Sister-in-law, I suddenly remembered that I have some things to do in the courtyard, so I'll go back first."

After saying that, Mrs. Xu San stood up and prepared to go out.

Madam Xu smiled and said, "Since Third Brother's wife still has things to do in the courtyard, then go back and do them first. It won't be too late to come back after you're done."

At this time, it is not even noon yet and lunch has not been served yet, so it is indeed early.

It seems... reasonable to come back for lunch later.

However, Mrs. Xu's words sounded extremely ironic to Mrs. Xu San, who felt that her sister-in-law was mocking her for being useless.

After all, in the entire Xu family, her husband, Master Xu San, was the most useless. He had the most concubines and a large number of illegitimate sons and daughters.

In her courtyard, this illegitimate son often came to complain, and that concubine often came to ask her for justice. Every now and then, she was busy dealing with these matters and was exhausted.

Mrs. Xu San twitched her lips, but she couldn't refute Mrs. Xu Da in public, so she bowed and walked out with an unhappy look on her face.

Madam Xu's departure did not have any impact on the people at the banquet. They just looked at her back as she left, then turned their gazes away and resumed their conversation and laughter.

"Yaqin, Yunxi, Madam Lu, come on, eat more."

Madam Xu's smile deepened. If it wasn't for the sake of face, she wouldn't want to invite people from the second and third rooms over today!

Now, she did nothing, but the people from the second and third rooms started to act up, and in the end they lost face and left on their own.

Such a result really makes people feel happy.

Speaking of which, she also has to thank Gu Yunxi!

Gu Yunxi smiled and didn't say anything polite. After all, he had just been wronged and he had to get some compensation from some source.

Eating is one of them.

"Oh, by the way, I saw Mrs. He in the embroidery shop last time. Why didn't Mrs. He come with us today? Is she busy with something at home?" Mrs. Xu suddenly said.

He Feng paused holding the fruits, thinking, why would Madam Xu mention her mother out of the blue?

It can't be that Madam Xu really knows her mother's true identity?

A trace of panic flashed across He Feng's face. Gu Yunxi saw it and took the initiative to speak: "My grandmother is copying scriptures at home!"

"My grandmother is a Buddhist. There will be a Buddhist festival in a few days. She said she would copy some scriptures and offer them to the Buddha to pray for our family."

"My grandmother always had her own ideas. She never used other people's hands to copy scriptures. She wrote them all herself."

Madam Xu was slightly surprised when she heard this and exclaimed, "Oh, this is really rare."

Mrs. Fan was also a little surprised and said, "My grandmother on my mother's side also believed in Buddhism and would offer scriptures during Buddhist events."

"But those scriptures are long and thick, she couldn't copy them, so she asked the people in the mansion to copy them."

"Yes, yes, my old lady is the same. Mrs. Lu's mother is really too simple-minded," the other women also said.

Gu Yunxi smiled and waved his hands: "Whether you copy it yourself or ask your family to help you copy it, it is always a sincere heart to the Buddha."

"That's right!" Mrs. Yuan couldn't help but nodded. She glanced at her good friend, Mrs. Xu, and knew what she was thinking.

Friends must be looking forward to Mrs. He's visit to their house today. After all, this is Mrs. He's parents' home.

Mr. Xu and Old Master Xu had been looking forward to it for a long time, and they wanted to meet their aunt and sister whom they had not seen for many years.

Madam Xu and Madam Yuan looked at each other, smiled, and said, "I also believe in Buddhism. Next time when I have time, I will definitely go to the mansion to ask Madam He for advice and learn well."

"Mrs. Lu, Yunxi, please don't think I'm annoying when the time comes."

Madam Xu smiled sincerely, and when He Feng saw it, he couldn't help but smile too.

He Feng waved his hands hurriedly: "Of course not, it is our honor to have Madam Xu come to our house."

Gu Yunxi also laughed, but wondered in his heart, why did Madam Xu suddenly become so close to the Lu family?

In particular, there seems to be too much attention paid to the grandmother?

Could it be that... Madam Xu really knew that my grandmother was the legitimate daughter of the Xu family? !

Thinking of this, Gu Yunxi lowered his head, a hint of obscurity flashed in his eyes.

If this is true, then after returning home, I must tell my mother-in-law and discuss with my grandmother how to get along with the Xu family in the future.

The Xu family's banquet lasted until lunch was over. The ladies sat and talked for a while before getting up and leaving one after another.

Gu Yunxi, He Feng, and Madam Yuan were the last to leave.

Madam Xu gave them many gifts in return and personally sent them to the door. She watched them get on the carriage before turning around and entering the mansion.

In the Lu family's carriage.

Gu Yunxi's smile faded, her brows slightly furrowed, and she said, "Mother, do you feel that Madam Xu seems to be more enthusiastic today than before in the embroidery shop?"

He Feng thought about it seriously and nodded: "That's true. If you hadn't said it, I wouldn't have thought about it so much."

"Mrs. Xu's husband, Minister Xu, is a high-ranking official. People like us cannot come to the Xu family for the banquet."

"Madam Xu not only took the initiative to invite us, but also reserved such a good seat for us. She also took good care of us at the banquet and even helped you promote the embroidery shop and introduced the other ladies to you."

The more He Feng counted, the more she felt something was wrong. It seemed that Madam Xu was a little too harsh on them... Okay?
