But no, she was just indifferent like everyone else. She glanced at her indifferently and turned away to talk to Zhong Jiawei.

She was left alone to be humiliated like this.

On the other hand, Lady Liu, the wife of the Marquis of Yongning, smiled and said, "The girl has a beautiful face, and others are jealous of her. Do you really want your daughter to grow up to be an ugly girl?"

"If any girl had half the beauty of the third girl, she would wake up laughing in her dreams. Ladies, don't you think this is true?"

Li Shuangwan glanced at Liu with a cold smile on his face.

She is the Marquis of Yongning, and also the wife of the current Minister of Revenue Su Yueming, Liu. She is also Yang Luo's biological mother, a vicious woman with a heart as cruel as a snake.

It turned out that at this time, Marquis Yongning was already on Ling Heng's side.

So he had to sing a different tune from Madam Lu Ziqi, who stood on the side of the Fifth Prince Ling Yan.

However, it was obvious from her words that she was not a smart person. Everyone present knew that her daughter had been disfigured years ago, leaving a hideous scar on her face that has not been removed to this day.

As a result, the original marriage was also cancelled.

Because of this incident, Luo Luo was almost beaten to death by this vicious woman.

Among the ladies, someone echoed, "Madam Liu, what you said is true. I also hope that my daughter can be good-looking, so that when she looks for a husband in the future, she can choose a good one."

Jiang snorted softly: "It is a good thing for a daughter to be beautiful. For example, a princess may have a stunning appearance, but she can be respected if she sits upright and behaves properly."

"If you have good looks, you should use them in the right way, instead of being like some people who take advantage of their youth and good looks to flaunt themselves everywhere, flirt with other women, and be despicable and shameless!"

Upon hearing this, the ladies and girls stopped talking. Everyone knew that the backyard of the Lu residence was filled with beautiful girls of all kinds, fat and thin, and her husband, Lu Ziqi, was extremely lustful.

There were even a few people who smiled secretly, and when they looked at Li Shuangxi, there was contempt and disdain in their eyes. At such a young age, she knew how to use her beauty to please others.

Li Shuangxi's eyes were filled with tears. When she looked at Mrs. Jiang, she saw Mrs. Jiang snorted at her coldly, raised her chin, and slapped her head.

Li Shuangxi clenched her sleeves tightly. How could she not know now that Lu Ziqi must have told his wife that he wanted to take her as a concubine, which was why she had to humiliate her here in front of so many people today.

If that's the case, why should she let her have an easy life?

Li Shuangxi changed her mind and decided that she still had time to deal with Li Shuangyan.

Rather than entering the Lu Mansion and being humiliated by this sarcastic Jiang, it is better to take the initiative.

As long as the plan is successful, Jiang will either commit suicide or live a life of seclusion from now on.

In short, I no longer have the face to stay in the Lu Mansion.

Then, he gently moved his fingers in his sleeve and opened the paper package hidden in his sleeve.

At this time, the servants of the Zhong Mansion came over and said, "Ladies and girls, the banquet is about to begin. Ladies and girls, please take your seats."

Everyone walked out of the pavilion.

When Jiang passed by Li Shuangxi, he bumped into her hard, causing her to stagger back two steps.

It was this collision that caused Li Shuangxi to calmly spill the contents of the paper bag onto her pomegranate red jacket.

Madam Liu, the Marquis of Yongning, loved to go against Jiang. Seeing that she was hit so hard by Jiang, she hurried forward to support Li Shuangxi's arm: "Miss Li San, are you okay?"

Li Shuangxi quickly crumpled the paper bag in her sleeve into a ball, pinched it with her palm, and smiled at her: "I'm fine, thank you Madam Liu."

Liu raised her eyebrows: "Some people don't even have eyes when they walk, and they bump into others at will. It's obvious that they are used to being brutal and cruel, and they are not good people."

Jiang suddenly turned around and stared at Liu: "Who are you scolding!"

"Whoever barks will be scolded."

"You, I'm going to tear your mouth apart!"

Mrs. Zhong hurried forward to persuade them: "Madams, please don't hurt the harmony. We have seen each other every day. For my sake, can you give in to each other?"

The two have always been at loggerheads with each other, and they would quarrel no matter the occasion.

Everyone in the circle of noble ladies in Shengjing City knew about it, so whenever there was a banquet, the two of them would be separated if possible.

Unexpectedly, the Zhong family arranged the two of them together because Lord Zhong was the chief academic officer of the Imperial College and had little involvement in the court and was not familiar with the affairs there.

Seeing that the host had come out to speak, the two men didn't say anything more, just flicked their sleeves and walked towards the banquet.

Li Shuangwan had been keeping an eye on Li Shuangxi, so he naturally saw what she had done to Jiang just now.

It was that Jiang who was not only arrogant but also stupid. Instead of arguing with her husband, she came to humiliate Li Shuangxi.

Hong Shuang whispered in Li Shuang Wan's ear, "Princess, I just saw the third lady take advantage of the chaos and stuff the powder paper bag into the sleeve of Madam Liu, the Marquis of Yongning."

Li Shuangwan nodded lightly. She had also seen that the plan had been completed.

As soon as they sat down, Xu scolded Li Shuangxi in a low voice: "Where did you go just now? Lord Lu wanted to see you, but he couldn't find you."

Li Shuangxi lowered her head, her eyes slightly red: "Mother, I just went to find my elder sister."

Seeing her like this, Xu knew what was going on and snorted coldly, "Haven't you been humiliated enough this morning?"

"My daughter realizes her mistake."

"After the banquet, you will follow me and you are not allowed to go anywhere."

"Yes."

Jiang was sitting not far from them, and Li Shuangxi kept her eyes on him all the time.

She was waiting, waiting for Jiang to reveal his ugly side in front of everyone.

However, nothing happened until the banquet was over.

And, for some reason, she looked like she wasn't poisoned at all?

There was not the slightest bit of abnormality.

How is this possible?

She clearly followed what was written in the book and spent a whole day matching it bit by bit.

I also asked Qiao'er to try it on wild dogs and it worked very well.

After the men and women had lunch at separate tables, the ladies went to the garden to admire the flowers in groups of three or five.

Xu took Li Shuangxi and deliberately fell behind the crowd.

Li Huaiyi winked at Xu.

Xu grabbed Li Shuangxi's hand and asked her to turn around.

He held her hand tightly, not letting her break free, a smile on his face but a threatening tone through gritted teeth in his low voice.

"Stand still, don't move, let Lord Lu take a good look at you. I warn you, if you dare to do anything weird, I will tear Aunt Tong to pieces when I get back."

Li Shuangxi pursed her lips, hatred surging in her heart, tears welling up in her eyes. She slowly raised her head so that Lu Ziqi, who was beside her father, could see her.

She could only lower her brows and wait like an animal, allowing herself to be slaughtered.

This is her fate as a concubine's daughter.

She hated it, very much.

Obviously, her second brother and Li Shuangmiao had already boarded the prince's ship, but he still pushed her to Lu Ziqi.
