Today is Mrs. Meng's birthday, and the Meng Mansion is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. A stage is set up in the waterside pavilion in the back garden, and a famous opera troupe from the capital is invited.

Early in the morning, everyone in the house started to get busy. The atmosphere was lively and full of joy and smiles, which swept away the gloom of more than a month.

Meng Wanzhou wore a pea-green skirt with the word "Fu" embroidered with gold thread around the skirt. She was covered with a yellow gauze dress. The fresh color was eye-catching.

Caiyun happily looked up and down at his young lady, holding up a mirror to show her, "Miss, look at how beautiful and energetic she is!"

Although it is distressing that the young lady has lost weight, she is really much more beautiful.

Meng Wanzhou laughed and said, "It's because my mother has good taste and good embroidery skills."

These are the clothes that Mrs. Meng personally made for the old lady for her birthday, just to make her appear energetic and beautiful in front of others.

Mrs. Meng's embroidery skills were taught by famous teachers, and Meng Wanzhou got Mrs. Meng's true inheritance. The embroidery ladies in the embroidery shop also received their guidance, so the business of the embroidery shop was very good.

"Miss, let's go. There are many guests today, and Madam will definitely be too busy." Caiyun shook the lady's hand and encouraged her.

This was the first time Meng Wanzhou appeared in public after her marriage was ruined, which required great courage.

Mu Yanheng has married Yin Wenxiu, and it is time for his young lady to start a new life of her own.

Meng Wanzhou knew her worries, patted her hand, and said nothing.

Caiyun said: "Miss, let's go. Don't worry, someone is guarding the yard."

Meng Wanzhou understood and nodded with a smile.

Mrs. Meng and her servants greeted the female guests at the second gate, and Meng Wanzhou went directly there to help.

When the guests saw Meng Wanzhou, they all smiled and praised her, whether it was true or not, but they all wisely did not mention the Mu family's marriage.

Mrs. Meng estimated that the guests had almost arrived, so she rushed to Meng Wanzhou and said: "There are some good people here today. You go to the longevity hall to help your grandmother take care of the guests. Don't follow me here."

Meng Wanzhou understood what Mrs. Meng meant. Her marriage to Mu Yanheng could not work out, but since she still wanted to get married, she might as well take this opportunity to look at more families so that she could have a choice.

Meng Wanzhou didn't want to offend her mother's kindness, so she went to the longevity hall with Caiyun. As soon as she turned around the corridor, she heard someone talking.

She stopped, and even though they deliberately lowered their voices, Meng Wanzhou could still hear their conversation clearly.

"Hey, do you know about Meng Wanzhou?"

"Of course I heard about it. She had been engaged to the concubine Mu Yanheng for a long time. As a result, Mu Yanheng fell in love with Yin Wenxiu. Not only that, he also demoted her to an equal wife and became the same as Yin Wenxiu.

Tianmenmen. I heard that she was so angry that she fainted and even went on a hunger strike to hang herself."

"Yin Wenxiu is also the princess's daughter after all, and she should be the first wife. She has a bad temper, and she actually broke off the engagement."

"How jealous and stupid! I missed such a good man as Tan Hwa Lang."

"She is just unlucky and does not deserve such a good husband."

Meng Wanzhou recognized that these were several people who came with her parents to celebrate the old lady's birthday. Meng Wanzhou recognized some of them as her and Yin Wenxiu's "good friends".

When Caiyun heard what these people said, her eyes turned red with anger. She rolled up her sleeves and rushed out to argue with them.

Meng Wanzhou grabbed her hand and shook her head.

In a sense, what they said was right. She was just petty and could not tolerate Mu Yanheng and Yin Wenxiu betraying her.

The so-called true love is nothing more than this. It is difficult to distinguish between true and false and cannot withstand the test. She will never trust others easily again.

Those people were still discussing enthusiastically: "She also said that Miss Yin was her savior. She didn't even give up the position of head wife. It's simply hypocritical!"

"The reputation of Mr. Mu and Miss Yin has been ruined, and her own reputation has also been ruined. Let's see how she will get married in the future! Which rich family is willing to have such a daughter-in-law!"

"After all, she is also the daughter of a fifth-rank official. If she can't marry a good-looking man, she can still marry into other noble families and become her aunt."

"Pfft, I'm afraid that the eldest lady doesn't want to be a concubine, so she might as well marry a pig butcher and be considered a decent wife."

"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed after hearing this.

"Welcome to celebrate my grandma's birthday!" The ladies suddenly heard a clear voice from behind, and their laughter stopped abruptly.

Only then did a few people see Meng Wanzhou. She was wearing a pea-green slim-fitting long skirt and a goose-yellow gauze. Her hair was styled into a simple bun with only a hairpin decorated with southern pearls.

Her dress was fresh and elegant, graceful and elegant, as beautiful as the light of the bright moon, outshining all the little stars around her.

Several young ladies were first surprised, then jealous, then blushed and turned their eyes elsewhere with guilt.

Meng Wanzhou said with a smile as a host: "I think everyone is thirsty. Let's go inside. Look at this hour, the banquet is about to start."

Several people looked at each other, blushing and speechless.

When they saw Meng Wanzhou's expression as normal just now, they thought she hadn't heard them say bad things about her, but that meant she had heard them all.

Meng Wanzhou's keen eyes discovered that one of the long-tongued women was wearing Yin Wenxiu's bracelet, and another was wearing Yin Wenxiu's walking stick.

Thinking about it, it was because of Yin Wenxiu's benefit.

Yin Wenxiu got a lot of good things from Concubine De, and they were all royal things. It was also a sign of dignity for these people to wear them.

In the past, Meng Wanzhou would not have thought much about it. After all, everyone was very close to Yin Wenxiu.

But, now, haha...

Everyone entered the banquet hall, and the old lady sat at the top. The people at the same table were all the old ladies from the Meng family and the old ladies from the aristocratic families with whom they were usually close.

The old lady looked good, chatting and laughing with the old sisters, and relatives and friends came in from time to time to wish her birthday.

Seeing Meng Wanzhou come in, a flash of disgust flashed in her eyes.

A daughter with a bad reputation can no longer do anything for the family. In the future, she will either marry into a lower-class family as a wife, or become a concubine in a high-class family.

Besides, this time her son held a big birthday party for her because of this little bitch!

This made her hate her granddaughter even more.

Whoever makes her unhappy, she will make anyone unhappy!

At this moment, a servant reported: "Master Mu, Mrs. Mu is here to pay her birthday to the old lady!"

The guests in the room were all silent for a moment. The Mu family? Apart from Tanhua Lang, there seems to be no famous Mu family in the capital?

What kind of trouble is going on? Haven't the two families been at odds with each other yet?

They all looked at Meng Wanzhou with hidden eyes, and the content contained in it was self-evident.

Meng Wanzhou's heart sank, but she showed no expression.

But I was thinking: Who invited them here? Or did they come uninvited?
