Ye Zhen had already happily run to invite Song Mingli.

The Duke's wife was so excited that she trembled slightly, looking at her blurry figure going away, "She called me mother...

"The term mother always feels distant. I thought I would never hear her call me mother again in this life...but she did!"

Nanny Lian nodded repeatedly, "Yes, the young lady has a kind nature and knows how to repay kindness. This is a good thing!"

"Yes... She doesn't hate me for losing her. I'm already very relieved. I don't dare to ask for too much..."

The Duke's wife took a deep breath and said, "I have to be nicer to Mingli in the future. This girl is a blessed person!"

"I know!"

Song Mingli was wearing his home clothes and writing something by the window.

Zi Su hurried over to report, "Someone from Duke Qin's mansion has come to pick up the young lady."

"Oh? Didn't I say..."

"Sister! You don't keep your word! You promised me that you would be good sisters! How can you not go today?"

Ye Zhen was watered with abundant love from Duke Qin and his wife.

In just a few days, she was no longer as timid as before, and dared to speak loudly in the unfamiliar yard.

Hearing this, Song Mingli looked out the window and saw Ye Zhen in a crabapple-colored brocade skirt embroidered with hundreds of flowers. She had an exquisite bun and a golden hairpin that swayed gently with her steps. She was as beautiful and charming as a fairy.

"Sister, you have to go!" Ye Zhen walked into the room and held Song Mingli's hand tightly, "Without sister, I wouldn't be where I am today.

“In fact, I also wanted to invite the second brother Song, but my father met with the eldest brother of the Song family, and the two talked for a long time in the study.

"Dad said that the Song family is not suitable for high-profile appearances. If we force the Song family to go, it would not be a way to repay the favor... Second Brother Song cannot go, so you must go, sister!"

Song Mingli smiled slightly and was about to persuade him again.

Ye Zhen blinked mischievously, "My mother also said that if you don't go, the banquet won't be held! So you go!"

Song Mingli looked at the bright expectation in Ye Zhen's eyes, and thought of what the Duke's wife had said, that they really wanted to treat her as a family member, that's why they came to invite her like this.

"I can go, but you also said that the Song family should not be high-profile," Song Mingli sighed, "Although I am married, I am still the daughter of the Song family.

"So, when the Duke's Mansion announced the birth of his daughter, I just watched you silently from the side and gave you my blessing silently. Don't mention me."

"Ah? So that's it..." Ye Zhen didn't understand all this, but seeing that Song Mingli wasn't joking, she nodded obediently, "I understand, but I have one more request. Please treat me as your younger sister and agree to it!"

Ye Zhen asked the maid to bring up a set of clothes and jewelry.

Song Mingli looked at it suspiciously, "This is..."

"It's the same as mine!" Ye Zhen said excitedly, "I wanted to stand beside my mother with my sister. But since my sister has other concerns, I won't force her.

"I just want my sister to wear this dress, which our mother prepared for us two sisters!"

"you really……"

"Sister~~" After all, Ye Zhen was much younger than her. When she held her hand, shook it gently, and called her sister coquettishly, she couldn't help but feel soft-hearted.

"Ok."

"Thank you, sister! I'll wait for you!"

Ye Zhen sat down and waited for Song Mingli to change his clothes.

The maid brought tea and snacks, and Ye Zhen smiled at ease.

She inexplicably felt that she was very comfortable and friendly in Song Mingli's yard, and she didn't need to be restrained at all.

The maids and old women in this courtyard all look very kind, and there is a harmonious atmosphere that makes people feel comfortable and relaxed.

Wait for Song Mingli to change his clothes and come out.

Ye Zhen held the teacup and looked at her blankly.

The little girl looked stunned, her eyes wide open.

After a long while, she swallowed and spoke stupidly.

"Wow...sister, you are so pretty!

“It’s so beautiful!

"I regret it, sister, I shouldn't have worn the same clothes as you!"

Seeing this, Song Mingli hurried to change it.

Ye Zhen stepped forward and grabbed her, "I was just kidding! If you want to change it, I'll do it, sister, don't change it! It's too beautiful!

"Last time, the color of the clothes that my sister wore was too old-fashioned! It should be a young, bright color like this, which is more suitable for my sister!"

Ye Zhen happily took her hand and got into the carriage with her.

"I dream of having a beautiful sister. It's too lonely to be alone..."

Song Mingli was personally invited to the Duke's Mansion by Zhao Yezhen.

Since the eldest brother has already met the Duke, she used the same excuse, and I think the Duke's wife would understand.

Song Mingli went to pay his respects to Zhao Tangshi.

When Zhao Tang saw her young and pretty appearance, she couldn't help but be amazed.

"Ms. Jiang is so lucky. When I have time, I must invite her to come and sit with me and ask her how she gave birth to such a beautiful girl!" said Mrs. Zhao Tang, holding Song Mingli's hand.

"That's not necessary, mother. Now this beautiful girl is also my daughter!" Ye Zhen said with a smile.

Zhao Tangshi immediately laughed even more happily, "Zhen'er is right! I am still more powerful!"

The room was filled with laughter and joy.

With so many people from the Gu family coming, I thought that twenty taels of silver as a gift was not a small amount.

However, on the gift list, the gift money for other prominent people was at least fifty taels.

Gu Qingshan felt ashamed.

But the servants of the Duke's Mansion did not give them a cold shoulder. They still greeted them with a smile and only asked if they had an invitation.

I heard that they didn't have an invitation, they just came to congratulate after hearing the news.

The servant quickly extended his hand, "This way, please!"

It turned out that the Duke's Mansion had anticipated this and had already calculated the tabletop for the invitations they sent out.

For those who did not send invitations, a dozen seats were reserved to be prepared.

"Look! This is the style of a wealthy family!" Old Madam Gu couldn't help but admire.

Although there were many guests, the servants handled them in an orderly manner without any panic.

The bigger the scene, the more you can see the strength and foundation of a mansion.

"It's been a while since we held a banquet in our house, right?" Old Madam Gu said enviously, "The last time we held a small banquet was when we sent Changhai to college to study!"

At that time, Song Mingli was still the head of the family, and everything was managed by her.

Although the banquet was not as grand as the one at the Duke Qin’s Mansion, it was also lively, with exquisite dishes and elegant ladies, which made people miss it!

Old Madam Gu was reminiscing about the good old days when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye.

Looks like Song Mingli?

She quickly looked over and saw a noble lady, with two young women wearing crabapple-colored skirts and dazzling pearls and jade on their heads, one on each side.

Behind them was a large group of maids and servants, serving them respectfully.

"That must be the Duchess's wife, right? What a grand ceremony!" Su Yi couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Sun's eyes widened. Marquis and Duke were only one level apart. How could the treatment be so different? !

When will she be able to have such a grand ceremony, such gorgeous clothes, and be surrounded by so many servants?

"Are the two young women next to them maids?" Su Yi asked.

"What maid? Can't you tell from her clothes and jewelry? That's the standard only a legitimate daughter of a Duke's mansion can have!" Sun said disdainfully.

My niece is good in every way, except that her vision is too narrow and her knowledge is shallow. She doesn't even understand this!

Su Yi also felt embarrassed, her face slightly hot, "Huh? Why do I feel that the figure of the woman inside is a bit like Song...cousin-law?"

The Duchess and her entourage passed by the long corridor in the distance.

The Gu family's table was far away, so they could see the grand scene but couldn't see the people's faces clearly.

Upon hearing this, Sun looked at it carefully and said, "Are you dazzled? Didn't I tell you that this is the dress style that only the daughters of the Duke's Mansion can wear!

"Even if Song Mingli comes! What kind of legitimate daughter is she?

"If she really dresses like the daughter of the Duke's Mansion who was just found, will the people in the Duke's Mansion kick her out?"

Su Yi thought about it and realized that the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion was the protagonist of today!

Who would like to see others wearing the same clothes as themselves in such an occasion?

Thinking of this, she felt much better.
