Dark Tide

  Li didn't quite catch the underlying meaning in Lan Yan's words, but only felt that as an outsider, she shouldn't be meddling too much in the affairs of the Weiyuan Marquis Manor.

  "Qing Luan, I had some delicious plum sauce at your mother-in-law's place last time. My daughter-in-law is pregnant for the first time and has a strong craving for sour plums. Do you have any pickled ones left? If so, I'll be bold enough to ask you for some."

  Qing Luan recognized her as Madame Yuan of the Ministry of Revenue, and the method of pickling plums was left by her mother. It's just a few plums, Qing Luan naturally fell into doing this good deed, and immediately promised to send over a jar of freshly pickled plums from this year.

  Madam Yuan immediately happily took off the sheep fat white jade bangle on her hand and gave it to Qing Luan as a thank you gift.

  In her previous life, Qing Luan had never liked to socialize with these older ladies when attending such banquets. However, now she also understood that the Weiyuan Marquis Manor was isolated and weak, and there was no capital to be arrogant. Whoever could get along well would naturally try to do so.

  Under Qing Luan's deliberate show-off, the atmosphere in the pavilion was very good.

  Only the Li family was thoroughly ignored, watching Qing Luan show off her social skills with their eyes wide open, while the three of them became thorough foils.

  Wei Qingyan couldn't bear it anymore, and besides, there were only a few young people in the pavilion. Rather than staying here watching Wei Qingyan fawn over that little slut, it was better to go out and admire the flowers and make new friends.

  "Mother, I'm going out for a stroll with my sister." Wei Qingyuan abruptly interrupted the conversation in the pavilion.

  Wei Qing glanced at her and suddenly felt that Wei Qingyuan was a freak among the second house, from top to bottom, from Wei Yanhuai to Wei Qingyu, everyone was good at pretending and calculating, only she left everything on the surface.

  Li glared at Wei Qingyuan, feeling that her daughter was really too impudent. Interrupting someone's speech like this would make people question her upbringing, not to mention the fact that everyone in this pavilion held a rank of fourth grade or higher. She thought to herself that if any of them took a liking to their family's Qingyu, it would be perfect.

  Then she was startled by Wei Qing's shout and her thoughts were all in vain.

  Wei Qing's neck shrunk back under Li's glare, his expression tinged with a hint of grievance.

  She was used to doing this at home, but she didn't know that this action fell into someone else's eyes and became a small family affair. In contrast, Qing Luan was well-behaved, understanding, and elegant, so it was clear who was the phoenix and who was the wild chicken at a glance.

  Lan Yan'er imperceptibly shook her head. The second house of the Wei family was really not up to par, and such a person could actually teach Qingjuan.

  Mr. Li smiled dryly and said, "The young lady doesn't understand things, I hope you all won't mind, Qing Luan, the young ladies are all out admiring flowers, it's no wonder your third sister is feeling restless, why don't you all go out together? Just don't be naughty."

  Li didn't want to see Qing Luan's appearance in the pavilion, as if she was the legitimate daughter of the Wei Yuan Marquis Manor, high and above. This admiring posture made Li feel very uncomfortable in her heart, it would be better to get rid of her early.

  PS: The new article is still thin, and the plot has not been unfolded. It will definitely be wonderful later on, so please collect it. Also, I recommend the already completed ancient novel "The Difficult to Deal with Black-Bellied Marquis".
