Quick Wear: Everyone dislikes you, but you are always coveted by the boss

Chapter 172 The Evil Fall of Gaoling Flower 13

This flower-viewing banquet was quite grand. I heard that Mrs. Zhu started preparing for it very early in order to carefully select a good wife for her precious son.

Zhu Ci'an was also a famous nobleman in the capital. He was gentle, talented, and had a first-class appearance, so there were countless noble ladies who wanted to marry him as their principal wife.

This included Zhou Yimian, so she dressed up today and even took out the most expensive and beautiful carriage.

Qing Wan could probably guess what she was thinking, but she didn't care.

The thing on her head was extremely heavy, and she was hungry, so when she was alone she collapsed on the couch, looking half dead.

After finally reaching the destination, Qing Wan sighed when he heard the sweet giggles of the girls outside.

When she got off the carriage again, she put on a haughty, rich expression on her face again.

As expected, it attracted all eyes as soon as it appeared.

"Who is that?"

"I don't know, but judging by her vulgar appearance, she must be a favored concubine of some family."

"Concubine? Who would bring a concubine to such an occasion? Aren't you afraid of being embarrassed?"

"Shh! Keep your voice down. Look at that carriage. This person should be brought by the Zhou family."

The many whispers suddenly became much quieter when the words "Zhou family" were mentioned.

Mrs. Zhu, who was entertaining the guests, turned around and saw Qingwan, who was covered in pearls. She looked like a nouveau riche who had clearly never seen the world and was pretending to be disdainful. She was speechless for a long time.

The nanny next to her came closer and reminded, "Madam, this is the concubine in the Zhou family's main room, her name is Shen Qingyu."

Madam Zhu's eyes paused slightly; this name was not unfamiliar to her.

After all, a month and a half ago, Zhou Yinghuai massacred the Princess's Mansion at night, which seemed to be inextricably linked to Shen Qingyu.

Concentrating all her thoughts, Madam Zhu approached him with a warm look.

"I guess this must be Madam Zhou. Seeing is believing. She is indeed a stunning beauty!"

Qing Wan grinned, "Am I that famous?"

Mrs. Zhu was speechless and paused for a moment, then said vaguely, "She is a rare beauty."

Qing Wan smiled even more happily, took off a golden hairpin from her head and stuffed it into Madam Zhu's pocket, saying affirmatively, "You are so sweet."

This action is just like the master rewarding a servant who speaks nicely.

But the person standing in front of her was the wife of a second-rank official! !

The scene was silent for a second, and none of the Zhou family members who followed behind stepped forward to help.

After all, they were warned not to try to harm Qing Wan. The current situation was due to her own stupidity, so how could they be blamed?

Especially Zhou Yimian, who looked like he was enjoying the show with gloating attitude.

But the next second—

"Thank you for the gift, Mrs. Zhou."

A large hand with distinct joints reached out from Qingwan's side, gently took it, and then stroked the place where she had touched with the fingertips without making any expression.

Turning her head, Qing Wan looked at the man in front of her with a gentle smile. He had long eyebrows, phoenix eyes, red lips and white teeth. He was elegant and dignified, looking like a well-educated nobleman.

"I remember you!" Qing Wan's eyes lit up: "Your last name is Zhu, right? You went to find Ying Huai!"

Zhu Ci'an smiled and said, "So you still remember me."

"Of course, you are so beautiful, I..."

"Mrs. Zhou!"

Qing Wan was interrupted by Madam Zhu before she could finish her words. Madam Zhu looked very unhappy and snatched the golden hairpin from Zhu Ci'an's hand and threw it in front of Qing Wan like garbage.

"It's just a hairpin. My Zhu family can still afford it. My son has always been gentle and will not embarrass others. That's why I took it. I hope Madam Zhou will not take it seriously."

Even though Zhou Yinghuai's father had passed away long ago, once she was brought into the Zhou family, she would be a concubine of the Zhou family for the rest of her life.

Her son took the hairpin and was so eager to talk to her. How would others view her Zhu family? Was he just picking up a pair of worn-out shoes that others didn't want?

Zhu Ci'an, who was standing next to him, frowned slightly and tried to pick up the golden hairpin despite being stopped, but he didn't expect Qing Wan to be one step faster than him.

"Don't throw it around."

She picked it up like a treasure, a little unhappy, "This is a lot of money, it would be a shame if it broke."

The people around couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh after hearing this, and the looks they cast on Qing Wan were more or less filled with contempt and disdain.

After all, whoever can come here is not a nobleman? Even if a hairpin looks a little beautiful and exquisite, it is not a rare thing...

"Wait, that hairpin...why does the emerald on it look a bit like jadeite?"

"Don't be ridiculous. With just a tiny bit of that stuff, you can buy a house in the most prosperous area of ​​Shangjing. With so much embedded in that hairpin, it should be enough to buy the Shangshu Mansion. How is that possible?"

These whispers quickly spread, and everyone was shocked and suspicious for a moment.

Previously, everyone's eyes were focused on Qing Wan's face, but now they suddenly came to their senses and realized that her clothes... seemed really expensive...

Qing Wan ignored those gazes, patted her hairpin, and put it back on her head. Her movements were very natural, and she didn't feel humiliated at all.

The punch just now seemed to hit cotton, making Mrs. Zhu unable to breathe and her face looked even uglier.

Zhu Ci'an, who was standing nearby, tried to smooth things over with a smile, "Thank you all for your hard work along the way. The Hundred Flowers Garden has prepared many cool and refreshing foods to welcome you back."

Qing Wan naturally walked down the stairs, following the crowd in a jingling outfit, with her jewelry swaying. Behind her, Zhu Ci'an curled his lips, his eyes fixed on her, and was about to catch up with her.

As a result, before he could even take a step, he was pulled back by Mrs. Zhu.

"The servant just passed on the news that the Prime Minister will also be coming. You go wait at the door and don't go in yet."

Zhu Ci'an's eyes dimmed and the curve of his lips held a hint of sarcasm.

In the past, Zhou Yinghuai never bothered to attend this kind of banquet. Now he followed here eagerly. Was he afraid that his delicate wife would be coveted by others?

His eyes swept across Qing Wan who was already vaguely surrounded in the middle. Zhu Ci'an concealed all his emotions, responded gently, turned around and walked out the door.

Qing Wan naturally became the center of attention after entering the Hundred Flowers Garden, but she did not feel uncomfortable at all. She found a seat and sat down, looking contented.

"Whose lady are you?"

Among the crowd that first arrived in the garden, a curious girl came over and looked at the face up close. She was so amazed that her face blushed and her heart beat fast.

How can someone be so good-looking?

With one person taking the lead, those who were affected by the succubus's power gathered around with obsession in their eyes.

"Why have I never seen you before? Did you just come to Beijing?"

"Miss, are you married? What are your requirements for your future husband?"

"Sister, is the card gender?"
