The mother of the Hou family eavesdropped on my inner thoughts and went crazy, I won by sucking milk

Jiang Wanqing hasn't attended a palace banquet for more than a year.

In the past, she participated in palace banquets because of her title as the seventh lady of the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion.

When we arrived at the Marquis of Xingchang's Mansion, Zhou Zigu was gone. Who would still remember this dilapidated Marquis of Xingchang's Mansion?

Therefore, when Zhou Zigu appeared this time, many people focused their attention on him.

However, I just looked at it out of curiosity.

When Jiang Wanqing and others arrived at the palace banquet, it was already a little late and everyone else had already arrived.

Zhou Zigu and Jiang Wanqing came to their seats.

Most of the people who attended the palace banquet this time were ministers and their spouses, accompanied by young boys and girls of marriageable age.

Jiang Wanqing had just sat down when he caught a glimpse of Jiang Lingyi sitting in the middle seat.

But there was only Jiang Lingyi in that position.

I guess it’s because Liu Yinyin is pregnant, so she didn’t show up.

Jiang Lingyi also noticed Jiang Wanqing's gaze, and nodded at Jiang Wanqing.

The location of the Marquis of Xingchang's Mansion is at the back.

Near the main seat were the princes, princesses, ministers, and Princess Natuya.

Everyone was chatting with their neighbors.

Jiang Wanqing and Zhou Zigu were very quiet, each of them having different thoughts.

However, the lady sitting next to me seemed much more familiar.

The lady glanced at Zhou Zigu and then joked to Jiang Wanqing, "Madam Zhou, it's a miracle that the Marquis was able to come back alive this time."

Jiang Wanqing just felt that the lady next to him looked somewhat familiar.

But not familiar.

In the past, she always sat at the top with her mother, and she rarely spoke to the wives of these relatively lower-ranking officials.

However, since the other party had spoken, Jiang Wanqing naturally had to reply.

He smiled and said, "Madam is right. It is a good thing that my Lord Marquis can return safely."

When the lady heard this, she hid her handkerchief and whispered, "I heard that the Marquis just came back and took in two concubines, regardless of your hard work in running the huge Xingchang Marquisate.

It would be fine if he took a concubine, but how could your marquis take a concubine named Song Nansheng?

Although I am a woman in the inner house, I have heard that Song Nansheng is the cousin who lives in the mansion of the Marquis of Xingchang. She had an affair with someone in the farm before, and after going to the Zhou family, she also got together with the teacher in the mansion.

How could your Lord marry such a questionable woman? Doesn't your Lord know the rumors in the capital? Aren't you afraid of being cuckolded in the future?"

The lady was originally whispering with Jiang Wanqing in a low voice.

But at the end, he became more and more excited, and his voice became louder.

It just so happened that Song Nansheng happened to stand between Jiang Wanqing and that lady.

The lady was already whispering in Jiang Wanqing's ear, and Song Nansheng was also curious about what the lady said to Jiang Wanqing.

So, I pricked up my ears to listen.

Upon hearing this, Song Nansheng was furious.

Without waiting for Jiang Wanqing to say anything to that lady.

Song Nansheng scolded: "What do you know, you ignorant woman! Stop throwing dirty water!"

Song Nansheng's voice was quite loud.

After a short while, it attracted the attention of people nearby.

Jiang Wanqing and his wife both looked at Song Nansheng.

Zhou Zigu, who was standing aside, also looked cold.

There was a look of displeasure in his eyes, and he felt the curious gazes of the people around him.

Then he scolded in a low voice: "Don't break the rules, this is a palace banquet!"

Fortunately, the emperor had not arrived yet, and the people around just took a look, then looked away and continued chatting with the people at the next table.

Zhou Zigu didn't listen carefully to what Jiang Wanqing was saying just now, so he didn't know what happened.

I just felt that it was somewhat embarrassing that Song Nansheng had caused such a commotion.

When the lady saw herself being scolded by a maid, she felt humiliated.

Suddenly, his face darkened.

He glanced at Song Nansheng coldly, and then said to Jiang Wanqing: "Madam Zhou, your maid has a bad temper! I think her maid costume can't hide her coquettishness. You should be careful. I think this person is comparable to the one named Song Nansheng in your house."

Jiang Wanqing raised her eyebrows. This woman was really right.

This time, Zhou Zigu also heard what the lady said, but he didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he chose to remain silent.

After all, you won’t lose anything if you get criticized a few times.

But he didn't realize that Song Nansheng was unwilling to do so.

Song Nansheng was already dissatisfied with this lady, and now he heard her openly criticizing him.

He said sarcastically, "Madam, you are just idle, and you only speak ill of others secretly all day long."

The lady suddenly laughed out of anger.

He looked up at Song Nansheng who looked unconvinced.

She sneered, "You are just a maid, but you are so arrogant! What do you mean by secretly saying bad things about others? I am just telling the truth. If Song Nansheng stood in front of me, I would say the same thing to her!"

Now, the whole capital doesn't know that Song Nansheng is the most dissolute lady among the noble families! She is the one who committed adultery before marriage, and she is the one who gave birth before marriage! Could it be that I am wrong?

Why are you so angry? I'm not talking about you!"

After a pause, the lady still felt a little unsatisfied.

He then turned his gaze to Zhou Zigu, who also had a gloomy expression on his face.

He continued, "My Lord, don't blame me for speaking harshly. It's just that you don't know what has happened in the capital over the past year. We are also afraid that you have been deceived by that woman named Song Nansheng.

Now, in the whole capital, everyone knows how Song Nansheng likes women. If you marry her, not only will you be the one taking over, but you should be careful that you will be cuckolded one day."

The official next to the lady also heard the noise and what his wife said and did.

He quickly pulled his wife over.

Then he smiled at Zhou Zigu and said, "My Lord, please don't be offended! My wife was originally just a peasant woman. Later, after I passed the imperial examination, she became an official's wife. What she said and did was still a bit unruly. I hope that my Lord will be magnanimous and not blame me!"

There was a hint of coldness in Zhou Zigu's eyes. He pursed his lips and didn't have time to speak.

Jiang Wanqing, who was standing by, was the first to speak: "This lord has achieved success, but he has not abandoned his wife. This is rare. Ignorance is not a crime. I think my Lord is not such an unreasonable person."

These words put Zhou Zigu on a high pedestal.

If Zhou Zigu insisted on making a fuss about it, he would be an unreasonable person.

Zhou Zigu couldn't get angry with the official's wife.
