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

Madam Gu also widened her eyes and said hesitantly, "What? But that day, at the main entrance, didn't Butler Zhao from the Duke's Mansion say..."

"Could it be... just a polite remark?" Su Yi looked at everyone's faces and whispered, "My cousin's wife felt embarrassed and got 'sick'."

When Sun heard this, she nodded quickly, "I think she just lost face, so she pretended to be sick!

"After all, it was Song Er who had a fight with the Third Young Master of the Duke's Mansion. The gift giving was done in private, and no one else knew about it. It's fine as long as the matter is over.

"But at the banquet, under the watchful eyes of the public, the Duke's Mansion doesn't want to be too involved with the Song family and cause people to laugh at it, right?"

After Sun finished speaking, the hall fell silent.

Everyone was very excited, but when this happened suddenly, everyone was disappointed.

"Then... shall we not go?" Sun frowned, "Alas, what a wasted opportunity..."

"Go!" Madam Gu's eyes narrowed, "If Mingli doesn't want to go, we'll go by ourselves!

"I heard that the Duke's Mansion has set up a buffet to entertain the people of the capital, and there are no rules about who can't go! We can go even without an invitation!"

Sun was happy now and nodded repeatedly, "Song Mingli is really unreliable! It's better not to count on her!"

Sun quickly stood up and went to support the old lady.

Madam Gu said to Sun, "She originally planned to go with a formal ceremony and would definitely prepare some gift money. Now that she is not going, you should prepare some gift money."

Sun: "..."

It seems he is waiting for her here!

But she has no money!

Seeing her embarrassed expression, Madam Gu pushed her hand away and said, "If you don't have it, then we won't go!

"Without the gift money, I'm afraid we can only sit at the table outside the mansion like ordinary people. We can't even enter the gate of the Duke's Mansion. What are we going to do? Are we going to embarrass ourselves?"

Sun lowered her eyes and gritted her teeth secretly.

This old hag! Could it be that she knew that she had mortgaged the only remaining farm in the Marquisate and borrowed money at high interest?

"Grandma! Grandma!"

"Mother!"

Gu Huai, Gu Jia, and even Gu Qingshan were all looking at Sun at this moment.

Sun's heart was bleeding, "Okay, daughter-in-law, go get ready!"

In the past, when Sun spent Song Mingli's money, she was generous and never felt sorry.

Now when she is asked to take out money, she feels as if her flesh is being cut!

The whole family, young and old, took two large carriages and went to the Duke of Qin's Mansion. They didn't even send anyone to tell Song Mingli that they were going to the Duke's Mansion for a banquet.

Song Mingli is not sick, she just feels lazy and doesn't want to get up.

As for the two meals I missed...it was all because of Nanxing.

"Miss, have you heard of the Bigu therapy?" Nanxing said in high spirits, "This method was invented by a Taoist priest and practiced by him! It has been proven to be the most effective in removing toxins from the body!

“All medicines are poisonous to some extent. People can still get sick even if they eat whole grains! Therefore, staged fasting is the method with the least side effects and the fastest results!

"A fast is a chance for women to expel dirt from their bodies. Of course, without the guidance of a doctor, it is not recommended to fast during a fast!

"But don't worry, Miss! Nanxing will escort you throughout the journey!"

Nanxing patted his chest and promised her.

Of course Song Mingli believed her. After all, after Nanxing's treatment, her health was getting better and better, she was more energetic, and even her skin was several shades whiter than before.

Facts speak louder than words.

Song Mingli usually gets up very early to practice martial arts.

Taking advantage of the good times, Molan gave her two days off so she could sleep in.

Gu Qingshan disturbed her sweet dream. After she woke up, she couldn't fall asleep again, so she just got up.

"Miss, are you really not going?" Zi Su took out the gold-embossed invitation sent by Duke Qin's Mansion.

Song Mingli not only had an invitation from the Duke of Qin's Mansion, but it was also written by the Duke's wife herself, and the Duke even stamped his private seal on it.

This is to show that this is a joint invitation from both he and his wife.

The Duke's Mansion was going to send someone to deliver the invitation personally.

But Nan Xing stopped them from making such a big fuss, "My young lady specifically told me that she doesn't like this, and she can't come on the day of the banquet!

"She appreciates the Duke and his wife's kindness. After the banquet, she will come to thank them."

Nanxing had to persuade them with all his might.

But they also asked Nanxing to take the invitation back no matter what.

Therefore, the doorman of the Gu Mansion did not know about the invitation.

Ye Zhen, oh, now it’s Zhao Ye Zhen.

She was dressed up by the Duke's wife herself. The girl was young and beautiful, with pure and lively eyes.

Clothes make the man, and after dressing up like this, she is definitely a noble lady in Kyoto.

"Is my sister here?" Ye Zhen looked outside from time to time.

The Duke's wife smiled and advised, "She said that if she doesn't come today, you are the protagonist today, and she won't compete with you for the limelight. She will come after today."

"What do you mean by vying for attention?" Ye Zhen said anxiously, "I've already said it in the letter. If it weren't for my sister and Second Brother Song, I would have already...

"How can he recognize his mother? He might have hanged himself!"

The Duke's wife's heart stagnated, and she felt a dull pain, "Pooh! Today is the day for you to return to your roots, why are you saying such depressing words! Don't say that!"

"I'll go and invite my sister myself!" Ye Zhen stood up, lifting up her skirt.

Butler Zhao hurried over to report, "The Gu family from Changning Marquis's Mansion is here!"

"Sister is here?" Ye Zhen's eyes lit up.

Butler Zhao had a complicated expression, "No... No. All the Gu family members came, even the cousin who was staying with us and the two children from the family came... Only the wife of the prince didn't come."

Ye Zhen's face fell, "Why?"

Ye Zhen didn't understand, but the Duke's wife was well-informed and narrowed her eyes when she heard it. "Is there any reason behind this?"

Butler Zhao hesitated for a moment and whispered, "That day, I was ordered by the Duke to go to the Gu family to give a thank-you gift to the Crown Prince's wife...

"But I saw the carriage of the Crown Prince's wife was blocked outside by the gatekeeper, and she was not allowed to return home..."

Butler Zhao told the Duchess what he had seen that day and his own speculations.

The Duke's wife's face darkened. "Are you saying that the Changning Marquisate is making things difficult for Mingli because of the Song family?"

"Mother! My sister is a good person, and Brother Song is also a good person!" Ye Zhen seemed to understand what she heard and said anxiously.

The Duke's wife nodded heavily and patted her hands, "Mother knows, don't worry, Zhen'er. Not only did she help mother find you, she also saved mother's life!

"Now, mother can see your facial features. Although I can't see them clearly yet, it's getting better day by day! Mother knows what's going on!"

The Duke's wife said to the housekeeper sternly, "Housekeeper Zhao, go prepare the car and take the young lady to the Gu family, and personally invite Ming Li to come! Tell her that if she doesn't come, the banquet won't be held!"

"Yes! I'll go right away!"

"Also, you can't call her the Crown Prince's wife anymore," the Duke's wife said slowly, "She is my adopted daughter, and to our family, this is also her natal family! She is a lady here!"

When Ye Zhen heard this, she smiled brightly.

She hugged the Duke's wife tightly, "Thank you... Mother!"

The Duke's wife shuddered all over...and her eyes felt slightly hot.

"Mother Lian! Mother Lian! Did you hear that?"

Nanny Lian, who was standing by, quickly grabbed the Duke's wife's hand and said, "Madam, I heard it! I heard it!"
