Chapter 419 Jewelry (3)
Unconsciously, the aunt has become their role model, and marrying a man who can bring them glory, status, and wealth has become their life goal that they are working hard for.
When Du Wanqiu heard Du Wanru's words "can't get married", she felt like her lungs were stabbed. Her face flushed. She held the chopsticks with one hand, almost breaking the ivory and silver-inlaid ebony chopsticks. She gritted her teeth for a long time, and suddenly laughed softly.
"Since you two sisters want to enter the palace to broaden your horizons, I will naturally help you. I will take you to the palace tomorrow. However, since you are going to replace my maids, you will have to let me serve you. If you offend me, I hope you will forgive me!"
This sentence is neither salty nor bland, but it is very threatening. Tomorrow, Du Wanru and her sister will follow Caiwei and Du Wanqiu into the palace as maids. If Du Wanqiu wants to deal with them in the palace, she only needs one word to make them die without a burial place.
Although Du Wanru and Du Wanyue are unwilling to be suppressed by Du Wanqiu, they have the handle in Du Wanqiu's hand, so they have to hide their edge and eat silently.
If they continue to argue, Du Wanqiu will be angry and really deal with them tomorrow. They will be in trouble. They don't even know how they died!
Seeing that Du Wanru and her sister shut up, Du Wanqiu snorted coldly and started eating slowly. Caiwei had no intention of watching them quarreling. It was rare that the room was quiet. She rolled her eyes and continued to eat.
During the meal, Du Wanqiu treated Caiwei very warmly, talking to her and serving her dishes, like Caiwei's own sister. She was so attentive that Caiwei couldn't help but roll her eyes.
The people at the table over there were also talking and laughing, and they were having a good time. If someone who didn't know the details saw them, they would definitely think that this was a happy and harmonious family!
While they were eating, housekeeper Cao suddenly came to report that Mr. Huo had come and asked to see the old lady and the fourth aunt.
After hearing this, Old Lady Wang hurriedly ordered Housekeeper Cao to call Duke An back to accompany the guests, but Housekeeper Cao said: "Mr. Huo specifically wanted to see Old Lady and Fourth Aunt, not Duke Guo."
After hearing this, Old Lady Wang looked at Caiwei meaningfully and said to Mrs. Du: "Since you are looking for us, go out and take a look!"
After that, she ordered Housekeeper Cao to invite Huo Yuan in.
Caiwei and her friends are now having dinner in the inner hall of Ouxiang Pavilion. The inner hall of Ouxiang Pavilion is separated from the outer hall for entertaining guests by a large screen with a sandalwood base and a picture of a hundred birds embroidered on a colorless gauze. Sitting in the inner hall, you can clearly see outside through the gauze, and people outside can also see inside vaguely.
When Huo Yuan came in, he immediately attracted the attention of the ladies in the inner hall, especially Du Wanqiu. When she saw Huo Yuan's handsome and elegant appearance, elegant style, and noble clothes, which were even more handsome than what she had imagined, her heart could not help but beat wildly, and her face was as red as if she was drunk.
The other ladies also blushed slightly, secretly looking at the elegant young man outside, and no longer had the heart to eat.
Caiwei, on the other hand, was so hungry after practicing dancing for a whole morning that she was already starving, so she was the only one who was still eating without distraction.
When Huo Yuan came in, he saw the old lady Wang and Du, and politely stepped forward to pay his respects. After the host and guest sat down, he ordered a servant who followed him to bring a large brocade box.
Wang smiled, pointed to the brocade box and said, "What is this?"
