Yin’s Second Lady refused the invitation of Princess Weiyang.

Even though Princess Weiyang was furious, the reply was spread by the women who saw it with their own eyes that day. It was discussed for several days in Beijing.

However, Princess Weiyang, no matter how angry she was, could not go to the Yin family to catch the person. She had to continue to hold a summer banquet for the sake of face.

Chengwang could not embarrass the Yin family in the open. In fact, the Yin family declined the invitation to the banquet. It was entirely reasonable. If the elders joined in, they would be inferior. It was inevitable that all the people in the court would laugh in secret, because they could only be identified as the “fun” of the ladies in the boudoir.

Because of this, the Second Lady of the Yin family had her name spread among the females in Beijing, and some people were curious about her. It happened that Yin Mingyu seldom went out before, and occasionally went out to meet guests with little ceremony. Except for the people who made friends with the Yin family that knew her a little, and said that she seemed to be a “beautiful and elegant” woman, most people had never seen her before.

It was Yin Mingfu, the first madam of Xie Qin and the first sister of Yin Mingyu who was mentioned again. She had both good looks and temperament, and some talents. She was just arrogant and quite undisputed.

When Xie Qin, the first place in the imperial examination, went on a parade that year, many women in Beijing caught a glimpse of Xie Lang.

Maybe most of them have no other thoughts, but they have such a person’s shadow in their heart. It is unavoidable their vision of Yin Mingfu is a bit harsh. Yin Second Lady is a shu daughter, and certainly inferior to her sister. It’s a pity for Xie Qin.

If Yin Mingyu appeared at the summer dinner held by Princess Weiyang, all kinds of speculations would be put into practice, but she did not appear. All the women were waiting to watch at the same time.

As the Xie family plays an important role in the small farce, the two madams of the Xie family naturally pay attention to the right and wrong outside.

As for Yin Mingfu, even if she is a little paranoid, she has made no big mistake. The deceased is gone, and Xie Ce, a clever child, is left behind. Xie’s family will not say that she is bad whatsoever.

And Yin Mingyu, the two madams were really not satisfied with her, but after such a farce, compared with Princess Weiyang, they have a new understanding of Yin Mingyu.

“It seems that they are submissive, but they can still handle things in the end. They are not a soft bone without ideas.”

Old Madam Xie, Jiang Shi, always felt that Yin Mingyu had wronged Xie Qin as a new wife. She was old and didn’t have to worry too much about who she was talking to. She was still strict: “If you are married in the future, you should look at it for two years, teach it, and then decide whether to give her the stewardship.”

Madam Xie, Xu Shi, nodded, “Yes.”

Madam Xie asked again, “How are the preparations for the wedding?”

“Don’t worry Mother, I’m preparing step by step.”

Mother Xie is very supportive of her daughter-in-law’ss housekeeping ability, so she just asked and let go.

At this time, the nanny brought Xie Ce, who had just woken up, to the hall. Old Madam Xie and Madam Xie immediately softened their faces and talked to him gently.

“Ce’er, how did you sleep?”

Xie Ce sat beside Old Madam Xie, a pair of small feet stretched out of the couch, and nodded obediently.
