Yōuzhēn Mountain Villa

  All the way, Bai Shuangshuang kept finding topics to chat about, Qinglan responded indifferently. After understanding what kind of person she was, Qinglan would not consider her as a close friend.

  In her previous life, she died and was also buried in the sea of fire, clearing up all grudges. In this life, if she didn't come to provoke her, she wouldn't take the initiative to attack her. Of course, if she still wanted to plot against her, then Wei Qinglian wasn't someone to be trifled with either.

  The carriage quickly arrived at the You Ran Mountain Villa, where several luxurious carriages were already parked at the entrance. This chrysanthemum appreciation banquet was more like a gesture by the current emperor than a event hosted by Princess Duan Min. The noble families of the capital naturally did not dare to lose face in front of His Majesty.

  "The girl has arrived." Gu Yu's voice came from outside the car.

  "Let's get off the car." Wei Qinglan took the lead in supporting Yu Yu's hand and got off the car.

  Those few Lis had already gotten off the car, and Madame Bai was expressing her gratitude for this ride.

  While Qingyu and Qingyan stood behind Li's family, their expressions couldn't help but show a few hints of nervousness. The maidservants and women in uniform attire welcomed the guests one by one, each with an air of respect yet without fawning, every face bearing an expression of reverence.

  Including Li, the three of them were seeing such a grand scene for the first time, and they couldn't help but feel a little nervous, but more excited, as if that one door was guiding them on their way to nobility.

  Madam Bai's lips curled up into a sarcastic smile as she pulled Qing Luan's hand and said, "Qing Luan, you're getting prettier with age."

  "Good day, Mrs. Bai." Wei Qing replied lightly. Before long, the maids and women from the mountain villa led two groups of people in.

  The mountain villa of Princess Duan Min is also famous in the capital, with every mountain and stone carefully arranged. Walking on that bamboo forest path makes one's mood suddenly very good.

  "It's indeed worthy of the You Rang Mountain Villa, even the small flowers and grass by the roadside have a unique charm." Li praised exaggeratedly, her words were naturally directed at the person leading the way in front. Although they all held invitations from the Wei Yuan Hou Mansion, she was after all just an agent, and couldn't help but be looked down upon by others. If she could win over the princess's favor, then her path forward would be much smoother.

  Qing Luan couldn't help but frown at Li Shi's behavior. Although the Weiyuan Marquis Manor wasn't one of the top aristocratic families in the capital, it was still a hereditary title that had been passed down for generations. Li Shi's behavior was truly embarrassing to the Wei family. Now that Old Lady had returned to the Weiyuan Marquis Manor, perhaps letting her temporarily take charge of the household affairs would be more suitable.

  "Sir, the path ahead is for women only, you can't go that way." A dissuading voice stopped several people in their tracks.

  This chrysanthemum banquet was naturally not only for women, and many of the aristocratic families were those who liked to appreciate flowers and grass. It's just that men and women are different, so they are entertained separately. Therefore, after Qing Luan got off the horse cart, she hadn't seen a single outsider, and suddenly heard the sound from the front, although she didn't see anyone, her face still showed a few points of surprise.

  "You say that Gu Qingyu is really so beautiful, even more beautiful than the flower girl Yu Yao in Hongyan Building." The newcomer seemed to have completely ignored the person who was trying to stop him, with a tone of voice that was like a spoiled rich kid.

  Qing Luan didn't know who the person in front of her was, but by comparing Gu University's granddaughter and the number one talented woman in the capital with the courtesan's flower, this person's identity must not be simple. However, their temperament is really not worthy of respect.

  "The number one talented woman in the capital is naturally not a name that has been obtained in vain." Another voice chuckled, and just as they were speaking, three people emerged from the bamboo forest.
