When Lian Shiya heard this, she originally wanted to step on the carriage to stop, but when she turned around, she saw a carriage being pulled by a carriage —
At the very center, there was a luminous pearl, exuding a luxurious luster. Golden tassels hung down from the sides, and the curtain was also made of the finest cloud brocade, an inch of gold embroidered with interweaving patterns of phoenixes. In the center, there was even a moon sewn on the wall, symbolizing 'the moon'.
When the crowd saw the carriage, they couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. Such an extravagant carriage was practically a city.
Lian Shiya's expression immediately changed. She was obviously the county governor of the emperor. Everything she wanted to attend today's banquet should be for the best. Why would Lian Ruyue want such a luxurious carriage that would easily snatch her head away?
"Mother, what do you think she means? "With such a carriage!"
"Hoh, the number of seats is not enough. Let the carriages gather. There's no need to bother with them. Let's go." When the Xiao family saw the carriage made of pure gold, their hearts also felt stifled. This old mistress was clearly slapping them in the face.
Seeing that Lian Meng Yue was about to get on the carriage, she withdrew her foot from the carriage and said, "Big Sis shouldn't be riding in such a luxurious carriage, right? Those who don't know might think that you're the County Lord."
I don't want to be too high-profile. But Grandmother said, I have the Jade Phoenix in my hand, and I am also the eldest daughter of the family. She insisted on letting me put on a big show so that no one could compete with me. "Well, I really can't do anything about her, so I had no choice but to take this carriage."
Her grandmother's heart had unknowingly become as beautiful as the moon, and there was no longer any trace of her. Although her being conferred the title of the county governor as her uncle had brought honor to the Lian family, her grandmother had never said a single happy word and had never looked at her properly from the start to the end.
Now, he had intentionally made a golden carriage for Lian Ru Yue to head to the Xiao family. He wanted to show off to everyone because he wanted to tell everyone that in the Lian family, Ru Yue was the most important daughter, even if she was the county lord.
The more she thought about it, the angrier Lian Shiya got. She then looked at the place where Ru Yue's carriage was covered in a layer of gold.
She finally walked in front of Lian Ruyue and said without concealing it, "Big Sis, let's change to a carriage!" She was the county governor, and her mother was already an equal wife. Now that she had spoken, she was confident and didn't place any importance on Lian Xiyue.
Lian Ruyue's face revealed a surprised expression, "Third sister, what did you say? You want to trade carriages with me? On what basis? "
"Heh …" Lian Shiya snorted lightly, "Since I'm the County Lord and elder sister saw me, she should have bowed, but I don't care about our sister at home. Since I want to change to a carriage, why not?"
"Third sister is using her position to suppress me?" Lian Ruyue's expression turned cold and hard.
"If elder sister thinks so, I can't help it." Lian Shiya slightly raised her chin, looking like a proud peacock. "Today, the people who are going to my uncle's banquet are all well-known people, and there are also many royal relatives. If you ride in such a luxurious carriage and I get seen by others in such a shabby carriage, and it spreads to the ears of the emperor, then our Prime Minister's Palace will punish the county governor. Elder Sis, do you think that if the emperor knew about this, he wouldn't think our Prime Minister doesn't put him in his eyes?"
Heh, how could the Emperor possibly place such a small county magistrate in his eyes? Lian Shiya and the Xiao family had placed such a high value on such a small thing, so they had thought so highly of themselves!
"What if I don't agree? Grandmother gave it to me. " Lian Ruyue coldly said.
"I'm afraid I have to agree even if I don't want to." The more Ru Yue refused, the more Lian Shiya wanted to obtain the carriage, and the more she wanted to refuse, the more Lian Shiya wanted to obtain the carriage.
"Eldest Miss, it's almost time. It's not good to be late, so why don't each of you take a step back? When we get back, we'll give Ya Er a ride on the carriage. How about it?" When the Xiao Clan saw that Lian Shiya was so obsessed with this carriage, they were dissatisfied with their mother's arrangements, so they came out and spoke.
"Right, let's do it this way. You won't suffer any loss from this, right?" Lian Shiya thought to herself, anyway, when they returned, most of the guests had already left. Who would pay attention to what carriage she and Lian Ruyue were riding in?
"Alright then, let's do it like this." She didn't want to argue with him. It was just a carriage. She had never cared about these things, so she swapped them with Lian Shiya.
"Sister, thank you, big sister." Lian Shiya didn't wait for Lianyue to leave the side of the carriage. She impatiently stepped on the gold and sat on it. She instructed the coachman and happily set off.
"This Third Young Miss is really going more and more overboard by stealing Eldest Miss's carriage in front of so many people. This was something the madame did for Eldest Miss, aren't you afraid that the madame will be angry?"
Lian Ruyue closed her eyes and did not open them, saying, "Let her be. A carriage, don't let grandma know that it's annoying."
In the cold winter's day, a banquet could be held in a busy city. Now, the only thing that could be seen was the Xiao Estate.
After Xiao Zhenhai returned with a victory, the Emperor, in addition to becoming an official, returned all of his powers to the Xiao family. Currently, the Xiao family occupied over a thousand acres of land south of the capital.
Today's banquet was even more spectacular, with countless servants carrying fine wine and delicacies as they shuttled back and forth. Before the banquet had even officially started, a stage had already been set up on the stage, and the stage was singing "Star Seizer Pavilion". As the guests slowly arrived, the table was bustling with noise and excitement.
However, from beginning to end, the Xiao family's master still did not show himself.
In the rear pavilion of the main hall.
At this moment, Xiao Zhenhai was seated on an armchair, emitting a dignified aura. Madam Xiao and Xiao Rou were seated on either side of him, while Xiao Shan, Xiao He, and Xiao Hu were standing behind him.
Xiao Zhenhai asked in a deep voice, "He'Er, are you ready?"
Xiao He waved his hand and the dozens of men in black descended from the sky like bats in the dark night and knelt in front of Xiao Zhenhai.
"Father, these ten men are the soldiers in the battalion that I carefully selected. They are all of extraordinary skill and have killed countless enemies on the battlefield. Killing a mere company like the moon is effortless." These people were Xiao He's most trusted aides and had an important role to play in his military affairs and the daily gathering of intelligence.
"To actually kill such a small direct descendant, he actually used the most elite soldiers of our battalion. I think highly of her. The death of Lian Xiyue is worth it." Xiao Zhen Hai still didn't think much of Lian Ru Yue. It was just that Xiao Rou kept emphasizing that she was a demon. In order to ease his daughter's worries, he asked Xiao He to choose the assassin.
"Father, Lian Ru Yue is an evil spirit. I must use an inescapable net to capture her!" Sure enough, upon hearing Xiao Zhenhai's words, Xiao Rou immediately said that she had been possessed by Lian Ruo Yue and spent the entire day and night thinking about how to get revenge. Her face was so thin that it had caved in, and her eyes were dull and crazed; she no longer seemed like a normal person.
