Chapter 225: The Heroine Whose Luck Was Taken Away
The Xu family's invitation was delivered to the Ye family the next day.
Mr. Ye looked at the only invitation in embarrassment. The Xu family's invitation only invited Ye Furong and did not mention Ye Ruoxing.
He knew that Ye Ruoxing had a very good relationship with Xu Qingluo before. Xu Qingluo held a grand banquet this time and invited almost all the noble ladies, but Ye Ruoxing was the only one she missed.
"Ruoxing, go visit your grandmother tomorrow. She has sent people to visit her several times, saying that she misses you and wants you to go back and see her."
Ye Ruoxing glanced at the invitation indifferently and understood clearly that someone might have invited Ye Furong but not her.
Mr. Ye was afraid that she would feel lost, so he deliberately asked her to visit her grandmother tomorrow to ease the embarrassment.
She sneered in her heart. Mr. Ye was really considerate and even took her feelings into consideration. However, it was strange that he invited an adopted daughter instead of a proper girl from the Ye family.
She bowed and replied, "Yes."
She didn't really like this kind of party, but she really wanted to go and see her grandmother, at least to see how she was doing.
The last time we met, the old lady was not in good health and looked very unwell. I wonder how she is doing these days.
Ye Furong was very disappointed to hear that Ye Ruoxing was not going. She had originally wanted to go and see the scene where Ye Ruoxing was being bullied.
So, she suggested, "Father, why don't you let me take my sister Ruoxing with me? Since my sister just came back, I guess the Xu family doesn't know about it yet."
Hearing Ye Furong's suggestion, Master Ye nodded and looked at Ye Ruoxing and said, "In that case, you should go to the Xu family tomorrow."
"Thank you very much for your kindness, young lady. I shouldn't have refused you, but if I go, I'm afraid it will cause you unnecessary trouble. I'd better go and see my grandmother." Ye Ruoxing refused directly.
She didn't believe that Ye Furong would suddenly become kind-hearted. She guessed that she was planning something bad, and Ye Ruoxing didn't want to fulfill her wish.
Upon hearing this, Madam Ye frowned and said unhappily, "Even if you're angry, you should know when to go. It's good to go out and see such a grand occasion. Since Furong is willing to take you, why should you refuse her kindness?"
Ye Yichen originally wanted to say something, but when the words reached his throat, he recalled what he had seen happen to Ye Ruoxing before, and swallowed them back.
"Madam, the Xu family invited the young lady, not me." Ye Ruoxing suppressed the anger in her heart and explained slowly, "This means that perhaps the Xu family did not intend to invite me. Although I know my identity, I am also a member of the Ye family in name only. The Xu family, with their status, must have known about my return long ago. They must have had their own considerations for not inviting me. If I come uninvited, I might cause trouble for my family."
Ye Ruoxing deliberately made the consequences sound more serious. This made Mrs. Ye hesitate. She felt that what Ye Ruoxing said made sense.
When Master Ye heard that he was inviting trouble, he was also afraid and said directly, "Then Ruoxing should not go. Go visit your grandmother tomorrow."
……
The Xu family's banquet was held the next day. The garden party was particularly lively, and firecrackers could be heard popping in front of the Xu family's door early in the morning.
There was a constant stream of people coming and going, and the entrance was bustling with activity.
Those who were going to the banquet in the palace also set off one after another.
The maidservant beside the old concubine asked in confusion, "Grandma, don't you usually dislike joining in the fun? Why did you suddenly want to go today?"
The old concubine laughed and said, "Normally, Wuchen doesn't like such a commotion, but didn't he go today? A few days ago, I heard that Wuchen was involved with a young lady, but I didn't believe it. Today, seeing him go to the party for the first time, I believe it a little bit."
"So, I want to go and see it, but..."
As the old concubine spoke, her brows knitted in displeasure. She said seriously, "I heard that the girl had a bad reputation. I heard that she was sent to a farm to temper her temper for a few years before returning. I don't know what kind of person she is. If that's true, what should I do..."
The old concubine sighed sadly. Her son was good in every way except marriage.
Although he was getting older year by year, he was not in a hurry at all. He spent all day seeking help from immortals, which made the old concubine very anxious.
Every day in the palace, she watched the concubines taking their chubby children out to play, and she was so envious.
She is looking forward to the day when her son can make one for her.
It's so hard to get one, and it has such a reputation. How can the old concubine not be anxious?
……
On the way, the old concubine suddenly remembered that she didn't bring any gifts with her. She panicked for a moment and asked the carriage to stop.
The maidservant beside her hurriedly asked, "Grandma, what's wrong?"
"Oh, I didn't prepare any gifts." She was a little anxious.
The young palace maid was puzzled. "Didn't the Xu family's gift already arrive? Why do you need to bring it in person?"
The old concubine lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage. She said anxiously, "I can't explain it to you clearly. Come with me to find a jewelry store. I want to pick out the best."
Although she was not satisfied with the girl's behavior as rumored, the old concubine still held out hope. What if the girl was different from what was rumored? Then she would have a presentable gift for the meeting.
……
In the jewelry shop.
Ye Ruoxing was picking out a gift for her grandmother. When she came out this time, Master Ye probably felt that she had been wronged, so he stuffed her with a lot of banknotes.
Ye Ruoxing planned to buy a set as a gift for her grandmother, and then buy some for herself so that she wouldn't have nothing on hand when she wanted to dress up.
Just as she picked up a butterfly gold hairpin and was about to try it on, there was a sudden commotion beside her. She turned her head and saw a woman pushing an old lady.
"I want to buy this bracelet. What are you doing here?"
The old lady was dressed gorgeously and had an outstanding temperament. It was obvious that she was not an ordinary person. She was also annoyed when the woman pushed her like that.
"Girl, I was the one who saw this bracelet first and wanted to buy it. How could you take it away from someone else?"
"Heh..." The woman quickly looked the old lady over and said disdainfully, "You want to buy something but you don't have the money. You're dressed like a decent person, but I didn't expect you to be such a scoundrel. So what if you came first? You still have to queue up if you don't have the money."
The old concubine was very angry. She had originally taken a fancy to the bracelet in the store, but she did not have enough money on her, so she asked someone to go back to the palace to get it.
Who would have thought that this woman would suddenly appear and be unreasonable, insisting on buying the bracelet she had set her eyes on.
