The Yin and Xie families have secretly reached a tacit agreement on the marriage. However, before the formal wedding ceremony, the Xie family’s old madam, Jiang and madam, Xu, hosted a banquet at the Xie family, invited some relatives and friends to listen to the play, and took this opportunity to take a closer look at Yin Mingyu.
Others do not know the plans of the two families, but they are clear about each other.
Yin Mingyu’s ability to observe words and expressions has been cultivated for many years. The two madams of the Xie family looked without any traces, and she felt it, but she didn’t care. She just followed her mother, Han Shi, with a gentle smile, and didn’t show her intention.
She is just a vase with acceptable texture. Apart from her manners and attitude, they can’t find any fault. Among the ladies invited by the Xie family banquet, there is no peerless appearance, extraordinary temperament, and outstanding talent……
Before coming to the banquet, Han Shi didn’t ask her anything, and her attitude to her at the banquet was normal, neither close nor indifferent. He occasionally talked to Yin Mingyu in an ordinary tone.
The only splash of water was Han Shi calmly telling everyone that Yin Mingyu had been brought up by herself as a di mother since childhood and regarded her as her own daughter.
This means that Yin Mingyu, a shu daughter, enjoys the same resources as a di daughter in the Yin family.
On the spot, a lady asked Han Shi, “Is Yin second lady engaged?”
Han Shi’s answer was ambiguous and she did not reply directly, but her purpose of taking Yin Mingyu to the banquet today has been achieved.
Yin Mingyu also basically recognized her performance, and silently praised herself when she returned.
A few days after the banquet, the Xie family invited a matchmaker, and the two families completed a series of engagements in the capital before the families could react.
The marriage of Xie Jingming, a member of Xie’s family, has attracted much attention since his first marriage. After the marriage, the enthusiasm of women in Beijing for him has decreased slightly. When the first wife died, it quickly revived and became more and more intense.
For the first wife, they must want a lady with good family background and personality. However, the stepfamilies are different. Many young ladies who must have no hope can’t help fantasizing.
But at this time, the daughter of the Yin family picked up this huge, delicious and unique peach.
Who is Yin second lady? An average, mediocre shu daughter who has never had a sense of existence, why should she?
This is the question of all women in the capital.
Naturally, some people will be annoyed.
The Princess Weiyang of Prince Cheng’s Residence is unruly and domineering. She has always shown that she is bound to win over Xie Qin. But the power of Xie’s family is extraordinary. King Cheng also wants to win over Xie’s family. He doesn’t want her to offend people badly. Princess Weiyang didn’t come up with such a thing as “catching her husband”.
She won’t blame Xie Qin. She naturally turns her anger on Yin Mingyu. She plans to take advantage of the time before Xie Qin and Yin Mingyu get married to teach Yin Mingyu a lesson. It’s better for her and the Yin family to quit while ahead.
To this end, the Princess of Weiyang specially prepared a summer dinner in Chengwang Mansion and sent a message to the Yin family inviting Yin Mingyu to be their guest.
Only Yin Mingyu is invited.
When the Yin family received the invitation, their first reaction was: He who comes is surely well-intentioned.
