"Yes. I saw the stitches on the dress and thought it was made by Baiji. "
"Then I'll go and get her back now!"
Baisu turned to leave, but Lin Mengya stopped her, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"Don't worry, go and make sure it's Baiji first. Besides, if it's a trap, we'll walk right into it. "
Baisu finally calmed down.
Although the person she cared about most was her master, Baiji and the others were like sisters to her.
She had been traveling with her master all these years, and her heart seemed to be getting harder and harder, but it was just because she had kept the remaining softness in a small corner of her heart.
And Baiji and the others happened to be among them.
"Okay, I got it. Don't worry, Master. I'll do it myself. "
Lin Mengya agreed.
No matter whether it was true or not, it was not a good idea to make it public.
As soon as Lin Mengya returned home with Cai Ru, Ning Liang delivered a letter in person.
"Eldest Miss, this letter is addressed to the Patriarch."
She took the letter and waved everyone away.
She opened it and found it was an invitation.
She threw it on the table after a few glances.
It was written clearly that she was invited by an old friend.
If she didn't come, she would regret it for the rest of her life.
Ha, if she didn't see Baiji, she might think that the other party was deliberately mystifying.
But now it seemed that the other party really knew her well.
Her slender fingers stroked the edge of the cup. If she didn't go, wouldn't it be a waste of the other party's careful arrangement?
"Cai Ru, help me change."
"Yes."
Cai Ru immediately took out a pea green dress from the wardrobe.
Usually, she dressed up in a fresh and clean manner. Her brothers at home always disliked her for dressing too bland.
But this time, she gently pushed the dress away.
"Take it from the wardrobe in my room. I want the bright red dress."
Cai Ru couldn't help being a little surprised.
Although she knew that her master's face was fake, she hadn't seen her master's real face yet.
She quickly took out the bright red dress embroidered with golden peony patterns. When she walked out, she saw a stunning beauty sitting in front of the dressing table.
"Yes, that's it."
The beauty's eyes were filled with beauty that could topple nations.
Even though Cai Ru was also a beautiful woman, she could not help but be stunned, her eyes filled with amazement.
No wonder Boss always said that out of all the women's red in the world, only their master was the best.
Previously, she had always thought that Boss was just trying to sell her melons, but now it seemed that it was true.
"I haven't shown it for a long time. It always looks pale."
Lin Mengya did not know Cai Ru's thoughts.
She looked in the mirror and put on some rouge.
Since the other party was here for her, she should show her true face to him.
It seemed like she had hidden for too long that even the martial world had lost her legend.
Tonight, let's see who will emerge victorious.
On the surface, the host for tonight's banquet was a young lady from an aristocratic family, but behind the scenes, it was Jin Yao who put in the effort and money.
At this moment, she and Miss Pan were slowly walking into the courtyard.
"Miss Jin is really a beauty."
Jin Yao was already tired of hearing such praises.
She knew that her appearance was incomparably beautiful. Coupled with her golden dress, it made her look even more luxurious.
She glanced at the girl in a light pink dress standing beside her and could not help but feel proud.
She was really petty and inexperienced. So what if she was dressed up beautifully? She could only serve as a foil to her.
Miss Pan did not seem to care, but she secretly hated Jin Yao.
However, she soon let go of her resentment.
As long as she could marry Prince Xi, she would be able to get whatever she wanted.
At this thought, she became more humble and respectful. The two of them, one moving and the other quiet, seemed to be in perfect harmony.
"Do you think Master Gong will come?"
It was common for women to gather together and gossip.
"I don't think so. Everyone knows that her adopted daughter is in the limelight now. In my opinion, Master Gong is not having an easy time. "
That was how people were.
They thought that they could see clearly from the outside, but they could not help but feel jealous, so they kept saying sour words.
They were not as good as Gong Ya, so they naturally hoped that Gong Ya would be in trouble.
Jin Yao was not anxious.
Based on what that person had told her, Gong Ya would definitely appear.
However, if Gong Ya came, she would look down on her instead.
She even cared so much about an old servant. If she was not useless, then what was?
While everyone was talking, the housekeeper hurriedly ran forward and said, "Miss, Master Gong is here!"
"What? Invite him in! "
That young lady was overjoyed and gave Jin Yao a grateful look.
Her father had always wanted to curry favor with the Gong Family, but he could not do so.
If Miss Jin had not come up with a brilliant plan, it would not have been easy for her to meet Gong Ya.
When everyone heard this, they could not help but look at the door.
It was said that Gong Ya was a great beauty.
As beauties themselves, they were naturally unwilling to accept this outcome.
"Master Gong has arrived!"
As the housekeeper announced, a lady in a red dress walked over slowly.
Her hair was as black as ink, and her skin was as white as snow. As she moved, she was like a blossoming peony.
The red complemented her, and the corners of her eyes and the tips of her brows carried a natural charm that could steal one's soul.
When the beauty saw them, she smiled and said, "I'm late. Please forgive me."
Even her voice was soft and smooth.
In an instant, everyone, be it men or women, understood what "unrivaled beauty" meant.
That beauty was unique to her.
Lin Mengya glanced at Jin Yao, only to see the jealousy and hatred in her eyes.
Gold and red were expensive colors, but Jin Yao was like a nouveau riche who only knew how to wear gold and silver.
"My daughter, Pei Yan, pays respect to Master Gong."
Pei Yan was the host of this banquet.
She did not expect Master Gong to be such an outstanding woman. She could not help but admire her even more.
"Thank you, Miss Pei, for your kind invitation. I hope that a boring person like me will not spoil your good mood."
Pei Yan immediately shook her head and eagerly led the way.
Lin Mengya nodded slightly to the crowd and then sat at the head of the table.
Those discussions had now disappeared without a trace.
They suddenly realized that even if there were some disputes, so what?
A woman like Gong Ya was not an ordinary person to begin with.
They could not help but feel ashamed of their inferiority.
"I heard that Master Gong has been back for a long time. Why don't I see you walking around?"
Pei Yan asked curiously.
The people around her also pricked up their ears.
Lin Mengya smiled and said, "I've been away from home for a long time, and have been busy with the general affairs. Today, I have stolen half a day of leisure. Otherwise, the family would not have let me out."
This undoubtedly meant that her position as the head of the family was unshakable.
Immediately, the women who were gloating and thinking that she would be replaced by someone else felt a burning pain in their faces.
But there were still some who did not give up and asked with a little evil intention.
"Didn't you say that your sworn sister is extremely capable? If I had a sister like her, I'm afraid that she would only know how to have fun. "
Pei Yan was still in a daze and did not understand the deeper meaning in these words.
However, the beauty shook her head and said helplessly, "My sworn sister has always been a naughty girl. These days, I've been restraining her. As soon as I came back, she couldn't wait to leave this stall and run away. Fortunately, I put in a good word for her, and she agreed to help me for a while. "
Haha, she spoiled herself. This was definitely enough.
She was flirtatious.
The crowd felt that her tone did not seem to be fake and could not help but murmur in their hearts.
Could it be that the rumors in the outside world were all false?
In fact, they had a deep sisterly relationship.
Jin Yao secretly sneered.
These two women from the Gong family were really good at acting.
On the other hand, Miss Pan, who was standing to the side, had a look of envy on her face as she said, "No wonder Mr. Su Mei is so devoted to the Gong family. If I had a sister like her to love me, I would be willing to do anything. After all, they are sisters, so there should be no overnight hatred. It's better not to listen to the rumors. "
As soon as she finished speaking, her face turned pale and she hurriedly apologized.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring this up. Gong family head, I, I really didn't mean to. "
Seeing that Miss Pan looked like she was about to cry, the people at the side quickly jumped out to say a few words of "fairness".
"Gong family head is magnanimous and forgive Miss Pan this time. No matter what, you are sisters in the residence in the future. You see each other all the time, so don't create any estrangement. "
Hearing that person's words, the crowd then remembered that Miss Pan in front of them had used the name of the princess.
Moreover, they all knew that Miss Pan was a concubine that the empress had bestowed to Prince Xi.
Although she was a concubine, she was still a concubine.
The marriage between Gong Ya and Prince Xi was set in stone, but now, both of them could be considered as people in Prince Xi's residence.
Immediately, many people felt that Gong Ya would definitely make things difficult for Miss Pan.
However, the latter only asked doubtfully, "Miss, you look unfamiliar. Why haven't I seen you before? Could it be that you are a distant sister of mine? "
Miss Pan's face turned red, and she shook her head timidly. "No, I don't have such good fortune."
The people at the side continued to add fuel to the fire, but they heard Lin Mengya say, "I thought there would be another sister in the family. That's right, the Gong family has more men than women. I can't count on my sisters, but I hope that my brothers can get married soon, find me a few sisters-in-law, and give me a few nieces. "
Everyone in the room fell silent.
Only then did they realize that the few young talents in the Gong family were the best candidates for husbands.
Even the young lady who had helped them just now regretted it.
For a concubine, they had almost offended the main family head.
Thinking that if they could marry into the Gong family, they would be one of the richest people in the world. This time, everyone was like the moon surrounded by stars, afraid that Gong Ya would be dissatisfied with them.
Biting her lips, Miss Pan could only grit her teeth secretly.
