After walking for almost two hours, the carriage finally stopped. Ba Jiao lifted the curtain and said, “Madam, we’re here.”

Gu Yu and Ba Jiao helped Shen Miao out of the carriage and saw that there were already many carriages parked at the entrance of the Lu mansion, but there was no one to welcome them. Gu Yu was dumbfounded and said, “This… Why isn’t anyone here to welcome us? Could it be that we’ve come to a wrong place?”

However, it did not look like they had come to a wrong place, because the door was not tightly shut, as if it was specially left open for them.

Shen Miao glanced at the door and asked Gu Yu, “What time does the banquet start?”

Gu Yu quickly took out the invitation and opened it. She said, “It’s nine o’clock. It’s not nine yet.”

“I think only our invitation says it starts at nine,” Shen Miao said indifferently.

Gu Yu said, “Madam, what do you mean?”

“There are carriages all over the entrance. Clearly, the guests have arrived long before us. There’s no one at the door to welcome us, but they left the door open, knowing that we would definitely come. If I’m not wrong, on the invitations of others, it must be seven o’clock, but on our invitation, it’s nine o’clock. They deliberately made us come late.” After saying that, she smiled. It seemed that be it in Ming Qi or the Daliang Dynasty, these noble ladies were all the same.

Gu Yu was enlightened. Then, she said angrily, “But what good will it do them to tease us like this? They’re going too far!”

Shen Miao’s voice turned cold. “If we enter without being welcomed in, it will be considered rude. They will say that the Shen family from Ming Qi is uncivilized. If we don’t enter, we will be disrespectful. If we leave, we will break the promise. They have all kinds of reasons to criticize us.”

Ba Jiao asked, “Madam, are you still going in?”

“Absolutely.” Shen Miao picked up her dress and was about to walk in.

“But Madam.” Gu Yu asked in confusion, “If we go in, we’ll be pointed at. Since it’s wrong to go in, why do we have to go in?”

“Then let others make a mistake bigger than yours.” Shen Miao smiled. “This way, no one will care about what mistake you made.”

At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall of the Lu mansion was very harmonious. As a very famous general in Long Ye, the Lu family had an extremely high status, so the mansion was built grandly. Today, the Summer Banquet was personally held by Madam Lu, and the praises were endless.

Madam Lu was in her early forties this year, no longer considered young. When she was young, she was probably a beauty, but when she turned old, she looked thin and mean, less dignified. Even so, she still dressed extremely gorgeously, as if this could add a little charm to her.

However, when a woman was old, not only would gorgeous clothes not help her look young, but it would also make her wrinkled face stand out even more.

“Madam Lu, you’re really lucky.” A round-faced madam smiled and said ingratiatingly, “Consort Jing is doted on by His Majesty and is also so filial to you. His Majesty even specially sent a gift to you this time. It’s enough to show how important Consort Jing is to His Majesty.”
