On the autumn hunting ground, Duanmu Keer looked lost.

She used to be full of energy, but today she followed her father honestly without saying a word.

General Duanmu noticed his daughter's abnormality and asked with concern: "What happened to Ke'er today?

If you hadn't been looking forward to this autumn hunt a few days ago, why did you stop talking when you got here? "

Duanmu Ke'er opened her mouth, wondering if she should tell her father what she had just seen.

Suddenly I heard a woman's laughter coming from the front.

Xun Ruoyan passed by and saw Shen Ruoyan standing not far away.

The ladies around her are all the most powerful ladies in the capital. Although there is a big age difference between Shen Ruoyan and them, she can stand with these ladies without showing any timidity. She has the dignified demeanor of a noble lady from an aristocratic family. .

Shen Ruoyan didn't know what she said, and the ladies immediately pursed their lips and laughed, looking at her with loving eyes. One of the ladies even took Shen Ruoyan's arm affectionately and patted her on the shoulder.

Seeing this picture, Duanmu Keer couldn't help but think of his mother.

Her mother was from a humble background. Even if her father's first wife passed away, the clan elders would not allow her father to marry her as a second wife.

A few years ago, mother and daughter followed their father back to Beijing.

The rich and powerful nobles in the capital would hold banquets from time to time, but there was no post that would be handed over to my mother.

One time, my father took the mother and daughter to a banquet.

In order to attend this banquet, her mother had made all kinds of preparations early, made her a new set of clothes, and repeatedly reminded Duanmu Keer to pay attention to the rules.

When they arrived at the house, their father was welcomed into the front hall, while she and her mother were taken to the backyard where the women rested.

The maid who led the way gave them a strange look before leaving.

Duanmu Keer later learned that when attending such a banquet, ladies would usually prepare some broken silver as a scary reward.

And her mother didn't even know there was such a rule.

In the yard, familiar ladies and ladies gathered together in small groups, chatting happily.

They didn't know any of these people, and it was their first time attending such a banquet, so they didn't know how to talk. Duanmu Keer could only stand awkwardly with her mother.

The mother seemed to be extremely panicked, and the palms of her hands were slightly sweaty.

Duanmu Keer bit her lip and looked at her mother expectantly.

My mother was obviously wearing gorgeous clothes, but somehow, it could be seen at a glance that she was completely different from those noble ladies.

After standing there for a while, a lady finally came over to them.

Duanmu Ke'er secretly breathed a sigh of relief, squeezed out the sweetest smile, took her mother's hand and walked towards the lady.

Before they arrived, I heard the lady say to her mother in a condescending tone: "Go bring me a bowl of summer-relieving soup."

Apparently she thought her mother was a maid.

Mother looked embarrassed and pinched the corner of her clothes at a loss, "I...I..."

Seeing that her mother was so panicked that she couldn't even say a word clearly, Duanmu Ke'er said angrily: "We are not maids!"

The woman then showed a sudden look on her face, smiled sheepishly, and said, "Sorry, I'm so hot that I'm dizzy. Don't take it to heart."

After the banquet, no one said a word to them again.

Duanmu Keer experienced it for the first time.

It turns out that those delicacies taste like nothing in your mouth.

From then on, whenever my father asked me to take my mother to a banquet, my mother would always refuse with a faint smile.

Seeing Shen Ruoyan chatting and laughing with those noble ladies, Duanmu Ke'er felt jealous and yearning in her heart, but when she thought of Shen Ruoyan's harshness in teaching the little girl just now, she couldn't help but frown.

Sure enough, knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing the heart.

In front of others, Shen Ruoyan is a role model for a noble lady from aristocratic families, but who knows that such a dignified and virtuous woman like her is actually a vicious and vicious woman behind her back.

Shen Ruoyan noticed the eyes falling on her.

He naturally turned his head and looked in the direction of Duanmu Ke'er.

After all, Duanmu Ke'er was young and couldn't hide things in her heart. When she saw Shen Ruoyan finding herself peeking at her, she immediately turned her face away in disgust.

Duanmu Ke'er originally thought that Shen Ruoyan would not take the initiative to talk to her because of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet last time. Unexpectedly, after Shen Ruoyan said a few words to the ladies beside her, she actually walked over to her side.

Shen Ruoyan walked up to General Duanmu and his daughter, and greeted with a smile: "General Duanmu, good morning, Miss Duanmu, did you have a good rest last night?"

General Duanmu naturally also remembered the unpleasantness at that time.

But Shen Ruoyan took the initiative to say hello and just handed him the steps. As a dignified general, how could he care about a woman?

General Duanmu hugged his fists towards Shen Ruoyan and said cheerfully: "Thank you, Mrs. Lu, for your concern. We are marching and fighting outside. We are used to being rough. We often use the sky as a quilt and the ground as a mat. We can sleep anywhere."

Shen Ruoyan raised her sleeves, smiled, and complimented General Duanmu on his words.

Seeing Shen Ruoyan chatting happily with her father after just a few words, Duanmu Keer felt an unknown emotion well up in her heart.

When will she be able to cope with various situations like Shen Ruoyan?

However, she is obviously a two-faced and bad woman.

Duanmu Ke'er was extremely conflicted. He was afraid that he would accidentally say what was in his heart, so he made an excuse at random and said: "Dad, I'll go over there to check the bows and arrows used for hunting."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

Seeing that his daughter was so abnormal, General Duanmu showed a puzzled expression on his face.

Turning his head, he found that Shen Ruoyan was still standing there. General Duanmu asked straight to the point: "Mrs. Lu, do you want to see me for anything?"

Shen Ruoyan knew that General Duanmu was straight-tempered, so she didn't want to make any more detours with him. She nodded directly and explained her purpose of coming: "It's rare to meet the general today. I want to talk to you about your daughter's marriage."

General Duanmu's rough face was obviously stunned.

How could he, as a father, not know what his daughter was thinking.

Since meeting Lu Yan, Duanmu Keer has said eight out of ten sentences about Mr. Lu.

Lu Yan is indeed a good match.

He discussed with Duanmu Ke'er's mother. Although Duanmu Ke'er was his only bloodline, she was only a concubine after all. With her status, it was really difficult for her to be the head of a wealthy family.

Originally, they planned to find an ordinary family for their daughter.

It doesn't matter if your family background is ordinary, as long as you have good character and treat your daughter well.

But Duanmu Keer just fell in love with Lu Yan.
