Fang Bi Rong’s eyes dimmed. People were looking at her with a little more disdain. She felt so embarrassed.

    However, she was also a little annoyed in her heart.

    After all, she is the daughter of the Marquis. Her background is not low. Why do these people look at her like this?

    She grew up by her parents’ side since she was a child. She was far away from the capital. Naturally, no one said something nonsense in her ear. Although she didn’t understand why her parents entrusted her marriage to her sister, she also didn’t care too much. Therefore, she did not know that the Marquis of Pingliang has long been a joke in the capital.

    The female family members in the hall looked at Fang Bi Rong from time to time. Among them, there were many wives and young ladies who didn’t know about the Marquis of Pingliang’s mansion and asked in a low voice, which made Fang Bi Rong want to find a hole to burrow into.

    At this moment, she suddenly realized that there was something else in the capital that she didn’t know about.

    She didn’t dare to think about it. She just wanted to shrink herself into a ball to avoid the sight that made her feel uncomfortable.

    Shen Xin Yan seemed to be unaware. She continued to chat a few words with Princess Kang and other aristocratic ladies and then sat quietly aside with a smile.

    In her previous life, she introduced Fang Bi Rong like this: “This is my sister-in-law’s younger sister. My mother loved her, worried that she will be suffocated at home. So she asked me to take her to see the world and get to know some sisters.”

    Word by word, the sentence is showing how much the eldest princess values ​​this girl Fang. She just weakened the presence of Marquis Pingliang mansion but brought her together with Ying Guo Gong mansion. Even if someone present remembered the background of this girl, for the sake of the eldest princess, they would not embarrass her too much.

    But in this life, why? Why should she protect her?

    Naturally, Yang Shi would not stand up for Fang Bi Rong. She had already found a familiar lady and sat down to chat and laugh.

    Fang Bi Rong was unfamiliar with her life here. Shen Xin Yan and Yang Shi had no plans to take her to socialize at all. They only lowered their heads and accompany Shen Xin Yan to sit among the ladies, which became more and more abrupt.

    Shen Xin Yan is calm. Anyway, has she not seen a few jokes in her past and present life?

    In the end, Pingxiu County Lord, who was the owner, came forward and invited Fang Bi Rong to enjoy the flowers in the garden.

   Fang Bi Rong naturally would not refuse. After all, the circle of the county lord Pingxiu is all the top noble girls in the capital. If she can get in, it will not hurt her to marry into a noble family in the future.

    “Why did you bring Fang Shi’s sister?” Someone touched her arm lightly, Shen Xin Yan turned her head, and saw Fu Wan, her best friend, sitting next to her at some point, and asked in a low voice.

    Shen Xin Yan’s eyes warmed. She showed a helpless expression.

    Fu Wan understood in her heart, and patted the back of her hand with some pity: “It’s hard for you.”

    Being crushed on the head by Fang Shi in the mansion was enough to feel aggrieved. Now she has to bring Fang Shi’s younger sister with her even when she goes out to a banquet. I’m afraid she also has to pave the way for this girl. To say that there is no meaning of the eldest princess, she will never believe it.

    It is said that the eldest princess is generous and kind. But in her opinion, the eldest princess’ heart is really too much.

    Due to the occasion, Fu Wan was inconvenienced to say more. She only dragged Shen Xin Yan to a quiet place to tell some interesting stories about her children.

    “…Look at how frivolous she is lest others don’t know it. Just a little assistant, what’s so great!” A disdainful hum came through the layers of flowers behind them. Shen Xin Yan and Fu Wan looked at each other. They involuntarily stopped talking.

    “Her husband’s position as an assistant. Everyone knows that he won the favour of the Qin family. But she still thinks that her husband is amazing. She acts like she is superior to others! Shen Xin Yan’s playful husband is even better than hers. Anyway, he is also a righteous heir. The son of the Duke, the cousin of today’s sage, the future Duke of the country!”

    “Isn’t it?” The voice faded away. Fu Wan couldn’t help but look at Shen Xin Yan, who was just lying and hit by the gun. Shen Xin Yan shrugged helplessly. She laughed at herself: “I didn’t know that I would still be carried out to suppress others.”

    “Don’t look at how they look like. They seem to be aloof from the outside. Maybe they’re so bitter! Let’s talk about Luo Xiu Xiu. Her husband was promoted to assistant minister before he reached his thirties. She also jumped to become the lady of the assistant. She looked very bright. But you didn’t know that the troubles of the concubines in her house could really make people angry.”

    “What you said is true.” Shen Xin Yan didn’t know.

    In the past, after the sisters in the boudoir got married one after another, it was inevitable to see each other again. The conversation was always about which jewellery was more expensive and beautiful in the past. But now it was all about whose husband is more promising and who has more sons.

    I believe that in a few more years, there will be another one – talking about whose son is more accomplished!

    Now the news of her son’s intelligence has not been raised, but her husband is well known for being a dandy, making her the one who was teased and sympathized with when meeting with the sisters in the boudoir

    “I said that the two of them must be looking for a quiet place to whisper. But you don’t believe it. Look. Now you can believe it?”

    “This is Xiu Xiu. You guys know her. I said you two are true. It’s rare for us sisters to get together. But you guys just hid and whispered. What are you talking about? Let us hear it too!”

    A woman’s sweet voice rang out one after another. Shen Xin Yan looked at the person who came, and then looked at Fu Wan. At a glance, there was a hint of helplessness in the eyes of both parties.

    Really can’t talk about people behind their backs. Just mentioning Luo Xiu Xiu, she brought people to look for it!

    “It is said that Xiu Xiu became a lady of the assistant minister at a young age. It is enviable that your husband is so prosperous!” Fu Wan replied with a smile.

    Luo Xiu Xiu, who was dressed in begonia red, instantly lit up with pride, and said hypocritically, “This is just the love of the saint.”

    Luo Xiu Xiu was also followed by three women, and Shen Xin Yan only recognized the one standing on her left, Xu Yu Zhi. The other two looked familiar, but couldn’t remember which ladies they were.

    Xu Yu Zhi was the woman who just jokingly asked what they were talking about. Seeing Luo Xiu Xiu’s smug face, she curled her lips invisibly, but in a blink of an eye, she smiled and said, “The sage is in love. But it is necessary for Mr Li to have the ability.”

    Luo Xiu Xiu’s husband, surnamed Li, is the former assistant minister Li, who was just mentioned not long ago. 

    “That’s right! I remember that Master Li was Tang Hua Lang in the imperial examination, right? There are still articles written by Master Li in the study of my mother’s nephew!” 

    Not wanting to be left behind, the other lady bragged about it so that Luo Xiu Xiu couldn’t stop laughing. While the two of them were talking, Shen Xin Yan subconsciously looked at Fu Wan who was beside her and happened to meet Fu Wan’s gaze. The two smiled at each other. Just because both of them recognized them, these two women were the ones who had fully expressed their disdain for Master Li behind their backs. Really… She shook her head helplessly.

     “Nausea…” Xu Yu Zhi suddenly pushed a rather rounded woman away, walked quickly to the side and retched. She successfully interrupted their praise. “What’s the matter? What’s the matter? Are you not feeling well?” Luo Xiu Xiu was puzzled.

    “Looking at this, could it be that she is pregnant?” the shorter one asked tentatively. 

    Xu Yu Zhi wiped the corners of her mouth, took another sip of the hot tea that Fu Wan handed over, and then nodded shyly: “It’s not three months yet…” 

    Then she urged nervously, “You guys have to keep it a secret. Don’t say to an outsider!” 

    “It’s natural! Congratulations! This is the fourth child, right? In a few months, we will have a younger brother for your brother Ming.”

     “I hope to have a daughter. Those three naughty monkeys are worrying. It’s better to be a daughter. A daughter is a mother’s caring little padded jacket!” Xu Yu Zhi stroked her abdomen, her face shining with a soft and happy light.

   She only occasionally looked at Luo Xiu Xiu, who had a stiff face, with a bit of pride.

    What about the husband’s promotion? She can’t even give birth to a son! Cannot even compare to Shen Xin Yan. Somehow, Shen Xin Yan still has a son by her side!

    “I said Yu Zhi. You’re true. You know you’re pregnant and you don’t want to be at home to recuperate. People come and go here. If something goes wrong, it’s not a joke.” Luo Xiu Xiu was displeased when the limelight was stolen. She said without a smile.

    “Don’t worry! I’ve had three times of experiences. The doctor said that I have a solid pregnancy, but I need to move around more, and it will be easier to give birth in the future! My sister has fewer pregnancies, so you don’t know much about it.” Xu Yu Zhi’s brows rose slightly, not giving in an inch.

    “That’s why I’m talking too much!”

     “Sister is also very kind.”     

     Listening to the two people’s quarrel, Shen Xin Yan was quite helpless. With a momentary impulse, she really wanted to come forward and tell them that the Qin family next to Luo Xiu Xiu’s husband would soon fall, and his official position would also be lost. And Xu Yu Zhi’s child was not born smoothly. Not only that, but she also completely damaged the body. However, reason finally prevailed. She forced her words back, otherwise, it would not be a battle between the two of them, but they would join forces to besiege her. The more she listened, the more bored she became. She gently tugged at Fu Wan’s cuff. The two of them had the same mind. While those few people were not paying attention, they quietly slipped away.  

    “It’s finally quiet!” Shen Xin Yan let out a long sigh. But thanks to Xu Yu Zhi’s fourth pregnancy, everyone’s attention was attracted to her instead of the promotion of Luo Xiu Xiu’s husband. Otherwise, it would have been her to feel their warm comfort countless times. Who made her husband the most unsatisfactory? Fu Wan covered her mouth and chuckled.

    At this time, the unsatisfactory Wei Shizi was staring blankly at the poor stranger who was kneeling in front of him.  “Are you serious?”

   “Yes, please save me!” The woman bowed down sadly.

    Although Wei Jun Hang was surprised, he had been in contact with all kinds of people after all. He quickly recovered.

    “Aren’t you the cousin of the second lady? I’ve never known you…” 

    The woman slowly shook her head, tears rolling down her eyes: “Ruyan knows that this is very presumptuous. But now only the prince can save me. I beg Shizi to be kind. Take Ruyan out of here!”

    “Oh?” Wei Shizi raised his eyebrows, a bit cynical.

    “Ruyan can pretend to be a servant and leave behind the prince. I just ask the prince to show mercy and help Ruyan escape from the abyss!”

    “Oh, so you have a plan!” Wei Jun Hang glanced at the small baggage beside her slowly.

    The woman froze immediately.
