Chapter 572 -523, Playing the Villain for Once_1

“Your family’s dishes are very lavish!”

After lunch, the young ladies from each household found acquaintances and scattered throughout the garden to chat and laugh. Dong Yuanyao led Daohua, Yan Yihuan, and a few others to rest in the pavilion.

Dong Yuanyao smiled and said, “You know the purpose of this banquet my family is hosting, so of course, we must showcase our strength.”

Sitting nearby, Yan Yihuan and Yan Yishuang darkened slightly upon hearing this.

Daohua leaned in close to Dong Yuanyao and whispered, “Have you taken a liking to anyone?”

Dong Yuanyao shook her head, “I don’t know about that, my mother and grandmother are very tight-lipped, revealing nothing at all.”

Daohua: “….perhaps your grandmother and mother are still considering someone back in Beijing.”

Dong Yuanyao: “That is also possible. My grandmother, you see, places a lot of importance on family background; since my father can’t inherit the Marquis Residence, my brother will have to make his own way in the future, and she would like his wife’s family to be able to support him.”

Daohua nodded, “That’s understandable, your grandmother certainly doesn’t want your family to fall too far behind your uncle’s.”

Dong Yuanyao sighed, “Isn’t that the truth! Although my grandmother has never thought to compete for the marquisate, she is always trying to outdo my uncle in her heart.”

While they were talking, Su Shiyu led several girls over.

The group exchanged greetings and then sat down to join the conversation.

Seeing that Yan Yihuan and the others looked somewhat bored, Daohua suggested, “If you’re bored, go take a walk.”

Yan Yile had been restless from the start, and at this suggestion, immediately took Yan Yihuan and Yan Yile by the hand. Yang Xiujun, feeling left out of Daohua’s conversation and not wanting to stay in the pavilion, stood up as well.

Before they left, Daohua instructed Yan Yihuan, “Take good care of Xiujun and your two sisters.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiujun’s brows furrowed imperceptibly.

What did Sister Yiyi mean by this? Did she think Xiujun would embarrass the Yan Family?

After they left, a few more people departed from the pavilion until only Daohua, Dong Yuanyao, and Su Shiyu remained.

With no one else around, Dong Yuanyao stopped pretending to be demure and slouched in her chair, “Finally, I can catch my breath.”

Daohua and Su Shiyu couldn’t help but chuckle at her relaxed posture.

Daohua looked at Su Shiyu, “Sister Su, tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, and Yuanyao and I plan to go see the lanterns together. Come with us.”

Su Shiyu nodded with a smile, “Sure.”

The three then talked about what they had each been doing lately, getting quite animated, when suddenly, they heard a commotion.

Dong Yuanyao furrowed her brow and stood up abruptly, “What’s happened?”

It’s a major taboo to have disturbances during a banquet, so Daohua and Su Shiyu also got up, “Let’s go have a look.”

They quickly walked toward the source of the noise.

The Dong Family’s garden was next to Chuihua Gate, and the commotion was coming from there. As the three approached, they saw many young ladies gathered around Chuihua Gate.

“Why are there male voices?”

Dong Yuanyao’s expression changed, and she picked up her skirt and hurried over.

Following behind, Daohua and Su Shiyu heard a delicate voice.

“Young Master He, An Xi has already apologized to you, please be generous and forgive him.”

“Humph, if I don’t forgive him, does it mean I lack magnanimity?”

Soon, the three of them reached Chuihua Gate.

At that moment, An Xi, still in makeup, was kneeling on the ground. In front of her stood a seventeen- or eighteen-year-old young man in brocade, furious. A few steps away, near the direction of Chuihua Gate, were Jiang Wanying and several other girls.

Daohua instantly understood: the young man in brocade intended to punish An Xi, and Jiang Wanying along with the other girls were pleading for mercy.

Just then, the sweaty owner of the Shuangxi Troupe arrived, and immediately began bowing and scraping to apologize to the young man in brocade.
