The Pri Minister’s Mansion’s actions are deliberately degrading the won of the Ye family, making them feel inferior in this way, leading to ridicule by others, and embarrassing themselves at this banquet!
Ye Shuzhen’s background wasn’t high, marrying only into the household of a housekeeper, although so of these were just concubines or illegitimate daughters of officials.
These people’s status wasn’t sothing a farr girl could match up to!
Ye Fengqi didn’t know these people before, and being of farr girl origins herself, didn’t feel slighted when brought here.
These concubines and concubine daughters of officials are not easy to handle, not to ntion those legitimate daughters and official madams, who might even act haughty towards them!
Attending this banquet, they just considered themselves as re guests, regardless of whether the hosts valued them or not.
Though the invitation ntioned recognizing kin, even at her young age, she knew this was a feast with ulterior motives!
To be looked down upon now and pushed aside actually let them breathe a sigh of relief, but vigilance was still necessary!
No matter how picky others were, as long as they didn’t get angry, if anyone bullied them, they could refute!
Such fearless spirit truly made those concubines and concubine daughters, whose intentional deanor and words tried to provoke them, feel like hitting them out of anger yet not daring, scolding yet fearing losing grace!
ng Zhaojun was with her cousins, and under the introduction and lead of the Pri Minister’s Mansion’s legitimate eldest daughter, arrived at the side of the concubine daughters.
More people followed, wanting to watch the drama unfold!
The legitimate eldest daughter of the Pri Minister’s Mansion brought along so lady friends to play with, and so other legitimate daughters, her own sisters, as she arrived on a mission.
Earlier today, her mother had received a ssage from her grandfather and had talked to her, explaining that this banquet was organized for certain purposes!
It was also to include the Ye family on the invitation. As for how many ladies from the Ye family ca today?
Originally, in their plans, they wanted to take down the won of the Ye family today!
They didn’t have their mothers at ho, and without elders to guide them at the banquet, they were more likely to make mistakes, regardless of whether they were engaged or not, they wanted to ruin their reputation today!
This ti it was for certain matters, for a particular aim.
However, they didn’t expect only one young lady from the Ye family to co, accompanied by an elder aunt!
Though it wasn’t the expected outco, since she ca, they still proceeded according to the original plan!
Ye Shuzhen initially gained so weight after marriage, becoming richer in appearance, unable to slim down, yet luckily her skin was well maintained!
Every ti she visited her natal ho, she found the floral skincare water her children used to be better for skincare than the rouge and powder bought outside, seeing her sister-in-law’s tender and bright skin confird it!
Among a group of concubines, Ye Shuzhen appeared, and although they tried to act noble, their humble origins as servants, however pampered by their husbands, still gave them a parochial flair, now attending a banquet, exerting efforts in their appearance as much as possible!
They aid to appear more elegant, more charming, but their status dood them to remain re concubines!
Originally, these concubines shouldn’t have attended such banquets, even concubines of the Pri Minister’s Mansion might not necessarily co out to greet guests!
Today was a special occasion, perhaps arranged by the Pri Minister’s Mansion, with their faction, the madam and concubines, as well as their daughters all attending the banquet!
Concubines, having borne children, or not, perhaps possessed inherent beauty to catch the master’s eye, with many being young and beautiful in the past, their background compensated by their beauty!
Perhaps aging, despite maintenance, they turned into unwanted wives, or having too many thoughts, appearing older despite being still young!
Rouge and powder couldn’t conceal the wrinkles, freckles, and rough skin!
Ye Shuzhen’s appearance caught so envious glances due to her skin.
Sa age, yet she didn’t appear heavily made-up, why was her skin better?
Amidst the complex gazes of others, Ye Shuzhen didn’t comprehend their thoughts, always feeling their looks unkind, unfamiliar, and their sarcastic words irritable, she had no defense!
If she knew others thought her skin good, she would mockingly retort, what’s so special about her skin?
These people hadn’t seen her sister-in-law’s skin, truly white and tender, invoking pure envy!
ng Zhaojun followed the Pri Minister’s Mansion’s eldest daughter’s appearance, serving as a follower, eyes filled with disdain, waiting to watch the spectacle!
The eldest daughter of the Pri Minister’s Mansion ca with a mission, bringing along her sisters and so legitimate daughters, stepping into the side hall of concubines and concubine daughters, her haughty deanor vividly displayed!
Eyes turned upwards, nostrils flaring, a group of noble ladies displaying such arrogance!
The concubines speculated among themselves about what the noble lady wanted here.
The illegitimate young ladies were slightly wary in their glances, only the illegitimate young ladies from the Pri Minister’s Mansion knew so inside information, yet they didn’t make an appearance, just watched the show.
Despite speaking so much, these two in front seed dense, unable to understand, making themselves feel awkward!
"Oh, cousin? Didn’t they invite all five sisters? How co you’re with just a servant? It seems your sisterly unity isn’t strong!"
The legitimate eldest daughter of the Pri Minister’s Mansion, relatively tall, about 1.7 ters, had the grandeur of northern won, a few years older than Ye Fengqi, appearing tall and formidable, with her patronizing, skyward-looking deanor especially lofty!
Ye Fengqi inherited her parents’ slender and tall stature, yet at her young age, was only about 1.6 ters, compared to the legitimate eldest daughter, almost a head shorter!
The legitimate eldest daughter of the Pri Minister’s Mansion wore the most fashionable headgear and jewelry today, alone costing hundreds of silver taels!
Accompanied by this year’s trendy autumn dress and silk skirt, with an outer white fur-lined jacket, this outfit alone costing over 100 taels!
The adornnts of legitimate daughters were indeed significantly higher than those of the concubine daughters.
While assessing others, Ye Fengqi was also evaluating their attire, estimating it could cost thousands of silver taels, truly extravagant!
Once having experienced poverty, where even a few copper coins could incite deadly struggles!
Having toiled hard for food, she now faced ladies who had everything handed to them yet squandered wealth so easily?
However, their smug appearance now really deserved a beating!
Ye Fengqi curbed her urge to lash out, maintaining a calm deanor as she replied:
"Cousin? How co we didn’t know such a cousin existed? When we received the invitation, we thought, who are these randomly claid relatives, knowing clearly our parents are not in the Capital City.
Yet still sending an invitation, my elder sisters were inconvenient to attend, with no elders at ho, only my aunt could accompany , only to find out on arrival, we aren’t even legitimate relatives!"
