1447 The Qi Family Is Finally Here

She used the side door to enter, directly avoiding the possibility of encountering the Jiang family.

Qiao Nian was already keeping a low profile.

However, her aura was too strong.

Even though she tried her best to keep a low profile and did not want to have anything to do with the Jiang family, Yuan Qing still saw her back when she entered.

“That person is Qiao Nian?”

Yuan Qing was wearing a red shirt today. Her white hair was combed neatly.

If not for the fact that she was usually too mean and looked a little stingy, she would have been a blessed old lady at her age.

“Qiao Nian?”

“That way.”

The person who accompanied her to Jiang Xianrou’s filiation banquet was her son, a middle-aged man with a sallow face and a thin body.

The middle-aged man looked in the direction where her walking stick was pointing. At a glance, he only saw a corner of her clothes.

Unconcerned, he looked away and pushed his old mother. “I didn’t see her, Mom,” he said. “You must be mistaken. The eldest branch of the family doesn’t seem to be coming.”

“Didn’t you see the person who walked past just now?” Yuan Qing didn’t give up. She wished she could follow him and take a look, but it was inconvenient with lame legs. “I think it’s that Qiao Nian.”

The middle-aged man didn’t want to cause trouble for no reason today. “Mom, forget it. Don’t worry about it. Anyway, it has nothing to do with us. Why are you worrying about these things? I’ll push you back.”

“You know nothing!”

Yuan Qing was angered by his disappointing words.

“I’m doing this for your son. The eldest branch is disappointing. In the future, we can only cozy up to the second branch. My brother is muddle-headed, but I can’t be muddle-headed.”

After rolling her eyes a few times, she didn’t chase after the person who had entered the Imperial Mansion to see if it was Qiao Nian.

As noon approached, the guests invited by the Jiang family arrived one after another.

The Qi family had also arrived.

This time, only two people from the Qi family came. One was Qi Yan, and the other was Qi Lanyin.

Jiang Yao received them.

Qi Yan even gave Jiang Xianrou a greeting gift.

The scene looked very harmonious.

Everyone chatted and laughed as they entered the banquet hall of the Imperial Mansion.

Only Qi Lanyin, who was following behind Qi Yan, had a cold expression the entire time. Her bright oval face was long, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she was not in a good mood.

Especially when she saw Qi Yan give the Qi family’s emblem to Jiang Xianrou as a gift, extreme dissatisfaction and anger flashed across her eyes.

However, Qi Yan ignored her.

Qi Lanyin didn’t dare to be impudent in front of her aunt.

She was frustrated. So, after entering the banquet hall, she whispered to Qi Yan, “Auntie, I’m going to the washroom.”

Qi Yan had tied her hair into a bun today. She was wearing a shirt set, which weakened her feminine charm and added to her elegance.

She knew what Qi Lanyin was unhappy about, but she didn’t show anything in front of Tang Wanru’s family. She only gave Qi Lanyin a look that said, “Don’t cause trouble,” then smiled and said, “Okay, go.”

Qi Lanyin was no fool.

On the contrary, she had been one of the most important heirs of the Qi family since she was young and had always been outstanding.

Her only failure in life was when she lost to Qiao Nian in a medical competition. At other times, she was the only one whose brilliance overshadowed others.

Of course, she saw the warning in her aunt’s eyes and felt even more annoyed.
