After the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion was reborn, she divorced and married the prince!

Ye Zhen asked her maid to write a letter to Song Mingli.

She said that she had changed her name to "Zhao Yezhen". The surname of the Duke of Qin's family was Zhao. Now that she had returned to her biological parents' home, she naturally had to take the Duke's surname.

But she didn't want to forget the kindness of her adoptive parents, so the character "Ye" was not changed and remained in her name.

She said that the Duke and his wife treated her really well and did not mind her lack of etiquette and manners. The Duke's wife taught her personally and even hired a female teacher to teach her how to read.

The Duke's Mansion took her adoptive father in and let him live there.

But the adoptive father was used to a free and easy life and was not used to living in his home. He said that he felt relieved when he saw his adopted daughter find her biological parents and treat her well.

He took the initiative to request to move to the village, where he would sing songs and play the erhu when he had nothing to do, and he was very happy.

With her constant companionship and Nanxing's acupuncture treatment every other day, the Duke's wife felt in better spirits.

The Duke insisted on building a stage, performing an opera, and setting up a buffet to entertain guests and the people.

"At that time, mother will announce my identity and recognize you as her goddaughter. Please be sure to come!"

The letter was brought back by Nanxing.

Song Mingli instructed Nanxing, "When you go to give acupuncture to the Duke's wife tomorrow, tell them that recognizing a daughter is a great joyous event, and Ye Zhen is the protagonist.

"Ye Zhen treats me as a sister, and Madam treats me as a daughter. I am already very grateful in my heart! I will not join in the fun at the banquet! I feel satisfied now!"

Nan Xing chuckled, "I think they are quite enthusiastic about this matter, I'm afraid they won't listen to advice."

Song Mingli looked out the window with a sad look...

Let the Gu family know that although the Song family was excluded, she, Song Mingli, is not without support in Kyoto.

Just let the Gu family be afraid...

If you do it too much, the Gu family will swarm around you like flies, which will be extremely annoying.

At this time, the Gu family also learned that the Duke's Mansion had set up a stage and held a grand banquet.

Old Madam Gu originally wanted to tell Song Mingli during dinner that she should attend the banquet at the Duke's Mansion tomorrow and bring along all the members of the Gu family!

That’s the Duke of Qin’s Mansion!

If we can make friends with Duke Qin's Mansion, Shan'er and Changhai can both get help!

Even Huai'er's future will be bright!

Madam Gu had a good plan.

But who would have thought that Song Mingli didn't come to dinner that day.

She sent a maid to say that she had caught a cold and was afraid that the disease would pass on to the old lady, so she would not come to eat with them.

There is a small kitchen in the Qichiyuan.

Before Gu Qingshan came back, Song Mingli stopped cooking in the small kitchen in her yard in order to save money.

But ever since Gu Qingshan came back…especially after she handed over the household chores, the fire in her small kitchen has never stopped.

She said that Jingyou was growing up and was always hungry. Children don’t eat much, and it was troublesome to ask the kitchen to cook for them all the time. It would be more convenient to cook in her own yard.

She has her own stove, so she can eat whatever she wants and whenever she wants. It’s very convenient!

"Hmph!" Old Madam Gu snorted unhappily.

Sun immediately screamed, "Oh my, this grandson's wife is getting more and more arrogant! She dares to find an excuse not to accompany the old lady for dinner!

"Shan'er, if you don't discipline her anymore, she will look down on the Gu family even more!"

Gu Qingshan put down his chopsticks with a gloomy face, "I'll go to Qichiyuan to take a look."

"Forget it!" The old lady frowned and said, "I don't care about one or two meals!"

She also wanted to ask Song Mingli to bring his family to the Qin family banquet! She couldn't offend Song Mingli now.

"Since she is ill, let her have a good rest!" Madam Gu said slowly, "Tomorrow is the day of the Qin Guogong Mansion's banquet. She can't be ill and not go, right?"

Sun snorted coldly, "By tomorrow, she will be well!"

"That's good." Old Madam Gu glanced at Sun with some disdain... Idiot, he still doesn't understand what she means!

"Tomorrow, Mingli will go to the Duke of Qin's mansion and ask her to bring her whole family with her! This is a big banquet, what will happen if she goes alone? It's more appropriate for the whole family to go together!"

At this point, Sun finally understood.

"Yes, yes, yes! That's a banquet at the Duke of Qin's house! Let's go together! We must go together!" Sun said eagerly.

Su Yi stood behind the old lady, her hands holding the serving chopsticks trembling slightly.

Her face turned pale and she felt bitter in her heart.

Sun and Gu Qingshan were only thinking about themselves, and neither of them cared about her.

The old lady looked back at her and said, "You are Sun's niece, so go with your aunt tomorrow! If there are any young ladies or ladies you can talk to, you can make some friends."

Su Yi's eyes lit up, and she looked at the old lady with surprise and a bit of disbelief, "I...can I go too?"

Sun laughed happily, "Mother is right, you are my niece, I will take you with me, what can Song Mingli say! Humph!"

The Gu family's calculations were clattering.

Song Mingli didn't even show up, but they took complete advantage of him.

The next day, the Gu family got up early, and everyone was dressed neatly and elegantly.

Even Gu Huai and Gu Jia had joy and anticipation on their faces, not to mention the adults.

"Why haven't you shown any courtesy yet?" Old Madam Gu had a head of gray hair that was combed meticulously.

Her energetic appearance made her look like a dozen years younger.

But when she saw that Song Mingli was not there, she frowned again.

"I'll go take a look!" Gu Qingshan was wearing an indigo blue brocade gown with dark flower patterns and a jade hairpin. He looked so romantic and suave that Su Yi couldn't help but look at him with admiration in her eyes.

Gu Qingshan was also very satisfied with his outfit today.

He walked with confidence and strode to the gate of Qichiyuan.

But the maids in the yard were doing their work lazily and casually, not looking anxious at all.

Someone saw him and bowed to greet him, "Greetings, Master. Are you here to see the young lady?"

The people in the yard finally perked up and worked faster.

"What about her?"

It can't be that he's still asleep, right?

"The young lady has caught a cold, has a headache and a fever, and is still resting in bed." The servant hurriedly whispered, "She hasn't eaten anything since last night!

"Why don't you go and try to persuade them, my Lord? Man is made of iron and rice is made of steel. The more uncomfortable one is, the more one cannot let himself go hungry!"

Gu Qingshan was slightly stunned, "Is he really sick?"

The maids nodded repeatedly, "Yes, we haven't eaten for two meals."

Gu Qingshan lowered his eyes and remained silent for a moment, then asked in a low voice, "Didn't Duke Qin's Mansion send a letter to the young lady?"

"Post? No, I haven't heard of it." The maid shook her head.

Gu Qingshan narrowed his eyes and looked at the maid's clothes, "You don't know, right?"

It is possible that she did not know that a maid of second or third rank could not even enter her master's room.

The maid said, "We are all in the same courtyard. If there is any, I should have heard about it. If you don't believe it, you can ask the gatekeeper. If there is a note handed in, the gatekeeper will definitely know."

The person involved is always confused. Gu Qingshan slapped his forehead. It’s true!

He didn't even enter the main house at this moment, but just greeted at the door.

Listening to Song Mingli's voice, muffled, lazy and nasal, coming from the inner room.

Gu Qingshan knew that she really didn’t get up.

He said hello and left, and went straight to ask the doorman, "Has any invitation from Duke Qin's Mansion been delivered in the past few days?"

"No, Your Majesty." The doorman shook his head.

“Maybe you remembered it wrongly?” Gu Qingshan frowned. Butler Zhao was so polite and enthusiastic that day!

"My Lord, you must be joking. If there were more, I might have remembered it wrong! But...how could I have remembered it wrong?" The doorman scratched his head.

Gu Qingshan returned to the family with a gloomy face.

"What? She refuses to take us there? We are rebelling against her!" Sun said angrily.

Gu Qingshan glanced at his mother, "She is sick, and... the Duke's Mansion did not send her an invitation."
