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

Zhao Yezhen, who was dressed almost exactly like Song Mingli, quickly came to Song Mingli's side.

Zhao Yezhen was followed by a large group of maids.

She immediately stepped forward and took Song Mingli's arm affectionately. "Sister, you haven't been to the seat that mother arranged for you. My mother and I are getting anxious. Why is your sister here?"

At first, everyone didn't know who Zhao Yezhen was, but when they saw the many servants following her, they guessed that her identity must be extraordinary.

"Maybe the maid took us to the wrong place." Song Mingli smiled slightly and said nothing more.

"Sister, let's go quickly! The banquet is about to start!" Zhao Yezhen took her arm, smiling brightly and in a very intimate manner.

Everyone was confused and curious.

The head nanny behind Zhao Yezhen cleared her throat and said, "This is the daughter of our Duke's Mansion. Today's banquet is to celebrate the safe return of our daughter and the recovery of the Duke's wife! It's really the blessing of our ancestors!"

"Thank you all for coming to congratulate us. Enjoy your meal and drinks!"

Upon hearing this, everyone stood up and congratulated him.

When he stood up, he saw that the Duke's wife was also waiting eagerly outside the small partition hidden by potted plants.

As soon as Song Mingli went out, the Duke's wife immediately took her hand with a smile on her face.

"What? Which maid is so stupid?" The Duke's wife frowned, "Mother Lian, go and ask her clearly, why is such a stupid maid still staying in the Duke's Mansion?"

Nanny Lian immediately bowed and left.

Those sitting at the table in the garden looked at each other in shock.

"What exactly is her identity? Why does the Duke's wife value her so much?"

"The Duke's wife was very warm and friendly to her, it didn't seem like she was being polite!"

"The Duke's wife came to pick me up personally. How can this be considered a courtesy? Even if it is a courtesy, it is a great honor!"

As everyone was talking, they looked at the Gu family with strange expressions.

"That woman is the young lady of the Gu family, right? Why do the Gu family treat her like this?"

"Have you forgotten what happened a few days ago? The Gu family doesn't like her. Her son was murdered by a slave, but the Marquis's wife actually protected the slave and refused to punish him!"

"And more, she was so angry that she went back to her parents' home! Prince Gu broke the lock on her storeroom door, beat up her maid, and tried to steal her dowry!"

"After all these things happened, it would be strange if the relationship could be good!"

……

Although everyone was whispering, their voices were not loud.

But the look he gave to the Gu family made them feel very uncomfortable.

"She even said that she was sick and was afraid that she would pass on her illness to everyone... The Duke's wife didn't even mind her being sick and held her hand!"

"If you want to deliberately dislike someone, you can come up with any excuse!"

"At a banquet like this, they let outsiders sit at the table and let their daughter-in-law stand by to serve the dishes... Have the Gu family lost their minds?"

Madam Gu’s hearing is not very good, but her eyesight is not blurry yet.

The way others looked at her made her face burn with embarrassment!

Oh! These people are used to changing their attitudes according to the situation! No wonder they were arranged by the Duke's Mansion to sit in this unappreciated garden!

When the Duke's Mansion didn't come to pick up Song Mingli - why didn't I see anyone of them saying anything good about Song Mingli?

Oh, now they see that Song Mingli is valued and is picked up by the Duke's wife in person! They are turning the tables!

Old Madam Gu complained indignantly... She seemed to have forgotten that her own family was also placed in this neglected garden.

Su Yi felt very uncomfortable because of the stares and pointings from people around her.

She lowered her head awkwardly and glanced at Gu Qingshan out of the corner of her eye.

Do we have to eat this meal? It's already so embarrassing, why don't we leave?

But Gu Qingshan was stunned. He stared at the direction where Song Mingli left, and seemed unable to come back to his senses.

Su Yi's heart tightened... her woman's intuition made her feel uneasy.

The person at the table tugged at Gu Qingshan's sleeve and asked him quietly, "Is that Master Gu's wife?"

"What is the relationship between the Crown Prince's wife and the Duke's Mansion? Why is it so important?"

What’s even more strange is that the Crown Prince’s wife is so highly regarded...how come the Gu family has fallen to the point of sitting in the garden over here?

No one asked this question.

Looking at the Gu family’s attitude towards Song Mingli...the reason seems not difficult to guess.

Moreover, everyone's guesses are often more outrageous than what the parties themselves say.

Old Madam Gu knew that if she left now, the Gu family would only be ridiculed even more!

She could only bite the bullet and keep her family safe until the banquet was over.

The banquet at the Duke's Mansion was truly amazing! The table was filled with delicacies and expensive dishes that Gu Huai and Gu Jia had never seen, let alone eaten.

The adults had mixed feelings in their hearts.

The child was simple-minded and ate until his stomach was full.

Song Mingli was invited to the table of the Duke's wife and sat next to the Imperial Master's wife.

She was willing to sit down.

However, the two daughters-in-law of the Duke's wife forced him to sit next to the Duke's wife.

"We all heard from father that mother's recovery and the fact that the Duke's Mansion can have this happy event and banquet today are all thanks to Mingli!" said the Duke's Mansion's eldest daughter-in-law with a smile on her face.

Song Mingli quickly declined modestly.

But the women at the table kept thanking her and toasting her.

Song Mingli also gradually came to his senses...if the Duke's wife really died at this time.

All males in the family must observe mourning for three years.

Now that the princes have grown up and the emperor is old, a turmoil seems to be brewing in the court.

At this time, if he stayed away from the court and returned to his hometown to mourn his father, three years later, the Duke's Mansion might not still have the honor and favor it has today.

No wonder their words and attitudes are so sincere.

Song Mingli got along very well with the ladies in the Duke's Mansion.

At the end of the banquet, Song Mingli heard that the maid who had mistakenly led her to the garden had been sold by the Duke's Mansion.

When the servants found out the reason for the sale, they couldn't help but respect Song Mingli and no longer dared to look down on him or neglect him.

Song Mingli was personally sent back to Gu's house by Ye Zhen.

"Sister, it is you and Brother Song who changed my destiny. You are the benefactors of me and my father!" Ye Zhen held her hand and looked into her eyes. "I won't say anything about repaying you with gratitude, but in my heart, you will always be my dear sister!

"Mother said that if the Gu family embarrasses you, you must tell us. I don't understand, but mother will definitely help you!"

Song Mingli smiled slightly, "Okay, thank you Zhen'er."

Ye Zhen shook her hand again before seeing her off.

As soon as Ye Zhen left, Xiangling from Madam Gu's courtyard came forward and said, "Young Madam, the old lady invites you to Chongming Hall."

Song Mingli nodded. Is this going to settle the account later?

In her previous life, she was manipulated by them at will.

In this life...she is fearless.

Old Madam Gu held her chest and listened to the news reported by the nanny.

"She didn't go there on her own initiative? Someone from the Duke's Mansion came to pick her up personally?"

"Why does the Duke's Mansion value her so much? Why do they give her so much face...but are so cold to us, the Gu Mansion?"

"Doesn't the Duke's Mansion know that she is the daughter-in-law of our Gu family?! Are the people in the Duke's Mansion confused?!"

The old lady became more and more angry as she spoke.

"Madam, the young lady is here!"

Old Madam Gu had a stern face at first...but she thought about it and realized that since Song Mingli had already hooked up with Princess Taihua, and now he was asking her to hook up with the Duke's Mansion.

The old tactics of "giving a slap in the face and then a sweet date" or coaxing her into opening her heart with a few nice words is no longer applicable.

Madam Gu quickly adjusted her expression and put on what she thought was the most amiable smile.

"Mingli is here! Quick, come in!"
