When the little girl spoke, she lowered her head slightly, and there was a faint moisture in her bright eyes. Coupled with her beauty, people couldn't help but feel pity for her when they saw her.

Mrs. Dali Siqing didn't say anything anymore, she just patted the back of Shen Ruoyan's hand.

Shen Ruoyan raised her head and smiled gratefully at her, knowing that the matter was done.

A great achievement, Shen Ruoyan wished she could go back now and wait for the good news, but Mrs. Su's banquet hadn't started yet, so she couldn't just throw away her sleeves and leave without shame. She could only be patient and silently hope that time would pass quickly.

The Tutor's Mansion was filled with pots of chrysanthemums. Shen Ruoyan always followed everyone and pretended to admire them, not daring to leave them alone.With Su Xihe's attitude just now, it wouldn't be surprising if she found the opportunity to tie up Shen Ruoyan and throw her into the lake.

While Shen Ruoyan was admiring the flowers, she would look after Qin'er beside her from time to time: "Follow me, don't get lost."

Qin'er nodded. She had witnessed Miss Su's cannibalism just now with her own eyes. She must follow her closely and protect her.

Fortunately, the banquet started soon, and according to the rules, the maids were not allowed to join the table with the master.

When Shen Ruoyan left, she paid some attention to Qin'er and asked her to stay with a few familiar maids for a while. She must not walk around by herself and not touch any food provided by the Su family.

"Okay, okay, Miss, I will pay attention to what you say, and you should be careful yourself." Qin'er nodded like a fool.

Seeing the little girl and several maids leaving together, Shen Ruoyan relaxed and followed everyone to the hall.

Because she was a few steps slow, by the time Shen Ruoyan entered the hall, most people had found their seats and sat down one by one.

In the hall, Mrs. Su is sitting on the main seat facing the door, and small desks are placed on both sides of her. Every few steps, there is a pot of chrysanthemums in full bloom. Matching the quaint environment, it is quite elegant. Qi.

Shen Ruoyan tilted her head and glanced at the maid who was responsible for guiding her. The little maid didn't dare to make eye contact with her. She lowered her head in panic, as if she hadn't seen her, and immediately ran away elsewhere.

Seeing her strange reaction, Shen Ruoyan had a premonition in her heart.

Soon even the last guest was brought to his seat and sat down. Shen Ruoyan was the only one standing alone in the huge banquet hall, which seemed very abrupt.

It felt uncomfortable to be watched by everyone. Shen Ruoyan couldn't help but secretly squeeze her hands hidden under her sleeves. She glanced at the seats and didn't find any empty seats. She already roughly understood Mrs. Su's intention. This was intentional. I want to embarrass her.

"Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for coming to my humble residence. Let's start the meal." Madam Su seemed not to notice Shen Ruoyan, who was still standing, and announced the start of the banquet to everyone with a broad smile.

After the words fell, all the female relatives present sat upright, without any intention of moving their chopsticks.

Shen Ruoyan is the legitimate daughter of the Shen family and the goddaughter of Mrs. Li. Although her family is in trouble now, they are both from a well-known family in the capital. No matter how they come to the Taifu Mansion, they should give others face.

As an elder, Mrs. Su was out of proportion to embarrass a junior like this in front of everyone.

Seeing no one responded, Mrs. Su rubbed her temples, pretending that she had just discovered Shen Ruoyan standing in the hall, and said with a smile: "Oh, look at my memory, today's table was prepared early in the morning Yes, I didn’t know you would come here in advance, and I didn’t have time to prepare. Do you think we should arrange a table for you somewhere else?”

Shen Ruoyan stood alone in the hall, feeling that her cheeks were hot and her scalp was numb, as if an invisible ax had split her into two.

She was crazy and angry. She wanted to rush over in a few steps, overturn the desk in front of Mrs. Su, and tell her that she didn't care about her food.

The other Shen Ruoyan is calm and rational.

She has passed the age of willfulness. At this moment, she must carefully weigh the pros and cons and consider what to do in such an occasion so as not to be laughed at by others.

If she wants to protect her family, she must first learn to control her emotions.

Shen Ruoyan took a deep breath, then raised a decent smile, and said to Mrs. Su in a calm tone without a hint of complaint: "Mrs. Su, there is no need to blame yourself. Today is your birthday. I am here to celebrate your birthday. Since The blessings have been sent, so I will take my leave now."

After saying that, he saluted Mrs. Su Yingying, and then walked out without looking back.

After walking outside for a while, until she was sure that others could not see her at all, Shen Ruoyan relaxed her tense shoulders.

The air outside was fresh and refreshing, and the irritability in her heart was slowly blown away by the breeze. Shen Ruoyan stood there and breathed a sigh of relief. She was originally worried that Mrs. Su would drug her food, and was worried about how to use it later. What excuse is there for not eating? Now this saves me a troublesome thing.

Shen Ruoyan was thinking about finding Qin'er when she suddenly heard a soft sound from behind her. Before she could react, a handkerchief with a strong smell covered Shen Ruoyan's mouth and nose.

"No~"

The girl didn't struggle for a few moments before she fell down softly.

A man dressed as a domestic servant tiptoed to Shen Ruoyan. Looking at his daughter lying on the ground with her eyes closed, he bent down and tried to drag Shen Ruoyan away, while whispering softly: "Miss Shen, please don't blame me. , if you want to blame, blame my lady, I was also forced..."

Before the man finished speaking, he suddenly felt a pain on the back of his hand. Before he could figure out what was going on, his eyes went dark and he fainted on the ground.

Shen Ruoyan got up from the ground, patted the dust on her body, and pulled out a silver needle inserted into the back of the man's hand.

Thinking about coming to the Tutor's Mansion today, Su Xihe had no reason to let her go easily when she saw him coming to her door. She would definitely do some tricks behind her back. Shen Ruoyan had expected this a long time ago and specially brought Qin with her last night. Er found Wei Xu and wanted to ask him to teach him some self-defense techniques in case of emergency.

Seeing that Shen Ruoyan finally asked about his expertise, Wei Xu was very happy and tried his best to teach many moves. However, Shen Ruoyan and Qin'er had never practiced martial arts and could not achieve the effect Wei Xu wanted.

Finally, Wei Xu patted his head and said to Shen Ruoyan with a smile: "Miss Shen, please wait for me."

Before Shen Ruoyan asked what was going on, Wei Xu had already disappeared happily. Not long after, he came to Shen Ruoyan and Qin'er with a lot of things. With a bang, there were meteor darts, blood droplets, and blow darts. The whole floor is lined with various self-defense tools.
