As for Shen Yue, she was as usual wearing a pink long embroidered dress with a light twist and a thin layer of makeup. She looked like a weak and scholarly little beauty. If it was in the past, she would be able to attract everyone's attention but today it was not the case. With Shen Miao's example, Shen Yue's steps seemed to be a little jerky, her movements were a little stiff and her expression was a little nervous. Even her hands were clasped together with too much strength. In short, she could not be compared to Shen Miao at all. Thinking about this, everyone's expression became somewhat strange. When did Shen Yue, who was in the limelight in the Shen family, was actually left far behind by Shen Miao?
Shen Yue was young and did not know but Chen Rou Qiu was sensitive enough to detect the difference in those Furens' eyes. If it was in the past, the gaze that landed on her mother and daughter would be filled with jealousy and admiration but today it seemed to be more picky? Chen Rou Qiu's brows jumped. This etiquette and figure had always been the part that she was most proud of and she was also very strict with Shen Yue. She was confident that no noble female in the Ding capital could do better than her daughter but looking at these people's expressions, who else could do better?
Naturally she did not know that the person who did better than Shen Yue was right in front of her.
Shen Miao sat beside Luo Xue Yan. Even though Luo Xue Yan was considered as the main character of this returning banquet, it seemed that she was isolated.
It was indeed so. The noble families in the capital had always had their own circle. It was still alright for the males as they spoke with their scholarly titles and intertwined in their careers. Even if one did not like it in their heart, they would still have to go over it on the surface. Females were different. Most of the noble females in the capital were proud and arrogant. For example, the Di daughters were not willing to play with the Shu daughters and the people who were born and raised in the Ding capital looked down on outsiders.
Luo Xue Yan was that outsider.
It was alright if she came from a rich and fertile land in Jiangnan but unfortunately Luo Xue Yan came from the bitter cold Northwest region and when she just married to the Ding capital, Luo Xue Yan did not even know how to speak and that accent was secretly ridiculed by these Furens for a long time. They ridiculed that the Northwest desert was extremely windy and sandy and the females' skin was extremely delicate. There were bandits everywhere and one feared that one would be robbed on the road. As for resources, it was even more scarce and it was hard to see good silk and satin throughout the year. Of course, there were elements of exaggeration in this, but the targeting of Luo Xue Yan was real.
Moreover, Luo Xue Yan was the first one in the Ding capital to go to the battlefield by herself.
When faced with something that they could not do, if it was rare, people would often reject it. This was not only the case for women, but also for men. Thus Luo Xue Yan was ostracized by the circle of noble females in the Ding capital. In addition, Shen Miao was previously an out-and-out idiot, so this mother and daughter pair were the targets of these Furens' secret ridicule.
Bai Wei's mother, Madam Bai, asked Chen Ruo Qiu to sit next to her. She and Chen Ruo Qiu were close friends, so naturally, she had to sit with Chen Ruo Qiu. Bai Wei pulled Shen Yue to her side. Ren Wan Yun walked over to Yi Furen and sat down. Yi Pei Lan looked at Shen Qing and complained, "You have not appeared for a long time. I heard that you are ill. Eh, you look thinner, but why is your face a little swollen? "
Shen Qing lowered her head in panic and said vaguely, "Perhaps I've been lying in bed for too long." Ren Wan Yun had decocted a lot of medicine for her to soothe the miscarriage. Even though Shen Qing hated the child in her tummy, she was even more afraid that she would not be able to be a mother after the miscarriage, thus she could only clench her teeth and drink it. Since it was to nourish the fetus, one could not do without all kinds of supplements, so naturally one would be fatter. Even though the figure was not visible, it was already somewhat swollen.
Yi Pei Lan did not suspect anything and only patted Shen Qing's hands, "You must take care of your body. You are already one who is going to be engaged, one must not spoil your body."
