Does the villain stepmother have a headache again today!

"Have you seen everything clearly, Madam?" Fang, the cousin of Si.'s toolman, seemed to have changed into a different person at this time. She said in a deep voice to the back of a man in rich clothes standing in front of the wintersweet tree behind the rockery.

The woman in gorgeous clothes only looked at the flowers and did not turn around to look at her.

When Si Fang finished speaking, the other party just said a calm "hmm" without making a sound or turning around.

Si Fang took a deep breath and said coldly, "Since I have done what I promised Madam, and I think Madam has seen what she wants to see, there is no need for me to stay here."

She didn't like Ruan Tao in the first place.

When Ruan Tao came to Beijing, she never flattered him.

If possible, she would rather not see her.

But she had to come.

But now that the deed is done, the deal is done.

She didn't want to stay for a moment.

The other party said softly, "It's rare to come to the Plum Appreciation Banquet. Don't you want to hang around more?"

The other party slowly turned around, revealing a slightly contemptuous face.

Si Fang's unhappiness was also written on his face, but it was a deal after all. Si Fang laughed at himself, "I come here once in a while, so what if I see you? You won't come here often in the future. It's better not to see you. Why bother yourself?"

The corner of the other party's mouth curled up slightly.

"Madam, there are no other instructions. Let's say goodbye." Si Fang perfunctoryly said that he was blessed, and turned around without waiting for the other party to say anything.

The voice behind warned you, "Don't say I didn't warn you. You just came to the Plum Garden and left soon. It's a formal occasion like today. If anything happens at the Plum Blossom Appreciation Banquet today, you will be the most eye-catching. Jump in." The one that even the Yellow River cannot wash away."

Si Fang paused at his feet, his face turned ugly and his fingertips were clenched.

The other party knew how to handle her, and sighed softly, "If I were you, I would take a walk today and take a good look. I used to have a bad vision, and my good future was rubbed away by me. I'm afraid my intestines are all gone." I regret my youth. Today there are many mistresses from aristocratic families at the Plum Blossom Appreciation Banquet. If you are in front of the horse and behind the horse, serving tea and pouring water, you can change the recipe to play whatever fun the ladies want. In the future, you will not rely on the Marquis of Nanping. Madam, you can also have a lady by your side to take you to such an occasion. After all, at a banquet in the palace, you can't have a maid or a woman by your side, but you always need someone to serve you with water and tea. Once you get used to it, you will get used to it. Will I take you with me wherever I go?"

Si Fang did not turn around, but the fingertips hidden in his sleeves were tightly clenched. His whole body seemed motionless, but he was trembling with annoyance.

The other party chuckled and said, "You have to see your position clearly. You are not afraid of comparing yourself to others, but you are afraid of being as high as the sky. After all, I am the wife of Marquis Nanping. Nanping Marquis died in the battle, and the whole family has been rich and noble since then. You won't be left behind. Next time, remember to salute respectfully when you see Mrs. Hou. If someone slaps you twice, no one will say another word. It's you who will suffer."

Si Fang finally turned around, with hatred in his eyes, "What exactly do you want to say?"

The other party slowly stepped forward, "I just want to tell you, you should know what you should say and what you should not say. Otherwise, you will think that you have fallen from the sky to the earth, and you will find out when you look back. Can fall into dust again.”

Si Fang clenched her palms tightly and her eyes turned red.

The other party smiled and bumped her away with his shoulder as he walked past her.

She gritted her teeth but made no sound.

Soon, a flattering voice from the palace came from not far away, "Madam, why are you here? The ground here is slippery, my servant will clean it for you."

"It's time to clean it up, it's very dirty."

Si Fang's tears fell instantly.

After leaving Xuanfang Garden, you will reach Linghan Crossing.

Ling Han drove alone. Ling Han said it was wintersweet, and Ling Han crossed it. He dug an artificial lake in the wintersweet garden. The lake is not big, and there is no way to walk on it. The crossing is just a metaphor. It is the stone boats of various sizes built in the lake. , used as a warm pavilion for drinking tea.

And now, Ruan Tao is in one of the stone boats, surrounded by the female relatives of the aristocratic families in the capital like a crowd holding the moon.

Some are flattering, some are comforting, and some are asking for help.

Earlier in the mansion, people were sick again, and the gifts from each mansion had arrived, but they were not easy to disturb, so when they came to enjoy the plum garden this time, everyone came to see them.

Ruan Tao is no stranger to such occasions.

With her mother around, she was able to do it with ease.

Although the old lady was a little confused, she was obedient, sat dignifiedly, drank tea, smiled, and answered every few sentences without making any mistakes, and no one could tell the clues.

Just like that, in less than half a day, she had seen most of the female relatives in the capital. Most of them were found by herself. Ruan Tao returned the greeting.

There was no embarrassment or irritation. It was as if the incident with Si Fang had just happened, and there was no moth among the female family members in the capital.

Occasionally, there would be one or two people who didn't speak very well, and Ruan Tao's mother would be able to deal with it without Ruan Tao having to speak. She would make a joke, but Ruan Tao himself wouldn't say a word.

After waiting for some time, Fu Aoquan turned back.

The ladies were all talking, but Fu Aoquan stood quietly behind the old lady and relaxed her shoulders.

Ruan Tao had a panoramic view.

I had passed the Qi before I came here, so if anything was done during the Plum Appreciation Banquet, it would be done if I relaxed my shoulders for my grandma. If I stood quietly behind my grandma and did nothing, it would be done.

Ruan Tao took a look and did not comment, but he knew what he was talking about and continued talking to the people around him.

They talked for a while, and it took more than a quarter of an hour before they got up from Linghandu, because someone from the palace came and said that the stage was ready for the performance, so ladies please move on.

Ruan's mother and the old lady walked forward together while talking.

Ruan Tao went with Fu Aoquan.

Fu Aoquan whispered a few words, Ruan Tao listened to them one by one, and then nodded, his whole person was as calm as if Fu Aoquan was just talking about a few wintersweet branches today.

"I understand."

Someone happened to come up to greet him. Ruan Tao nodded politely and responded to Fu Aoquan.

After they left, Fu Aoquan whispered, "I wonder why I'm asking about this? My mother and she didn't have much interaction or conflict..."

Ruan Tao smiled and said calmly, "Yes, why is it necessary for a housewife to do these things?"

The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind.

Si Fang is a chess piece made into a chess piece.

The person behind the scenes borrowed the hand of Madam Yushi.

"Mother?" Although Fu Aoquan was surprised, he understood.

Before the stage, the seats in the first two rows were reserved, and there would be Ruan Tao and the old lady on the left and right.

Those in the back row were sipping melon seeds and tea, looking at the backs of their heads in front of them, and all looking down at the diversion wedges in their hands.

Mrs. Censor was turning over the wedges, and she sneered slightly as she remembered Sifang's angry look just now.

Being able to use her is also a blessing she has accumulated.

While I was thinking, someone sat down next to me.

Madam Yushi raised her head when she heard the sound, but when she saw the other party, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, "Nan, Madam Nanpinghou? You, why are you sitting here?"

Ruan Tao also generously picked up the wedge in his hand and said with a gentle smile, "I saw that Madam was so interested in me, so I thought I would come directly to Madam instead of bothering Madam with one thing after another. What do you want, Madam?" If you know, you might as well ask me directly, it’s close so you don’t have to go around the bush.”

Madam Yushi froze.
