C420 Evenly matched

"Look, that's the Lian Clan's Third Young Miss, right?" Someone among the guests suddenly shouted.

Compared to Lian Yue's makeup, the makeup on her face was even more exquisite. From far away in the mountains to her bright red cherry lips, her eyes seemed to be crafty as she used rouge to light up two red dots, faintly containing a hint of charm and sadness …

Today, she was dressed in a carefully tailored light purple dress that emitted a faint silver sheen. The hem of her skirt was embroidered with the design of plum bamboo, and in the midst of its splendor, it also exuded a noble and noble air. "The headdress was an unfashionable bun in the capital, with a jade cloud and a gold beaded phoenix tail hairpin tied between the hair. The blue and red onyx pendant swayed in her ears.

There was a faint smile on her face, as if she was stepping on a auspicious cloud and leisurely walking over.

All of a sudden, everyone's gaze fell on her. Lian Shiya slightly raised her arrogant chin. She was very satisfied with this reaction — —

Senior Servant Sun was right. As long as she displayed her most beautiful side, everyone would forget that she had once made a fool of herself.

The other sisters in the Lian Family whispered to each other. Then, Lian Shengru said in a low voice, "Third Sister, isn't your foot …" Why does he look just like an ordinary person? "

When Lian Shiya heard this, she condescendingly looked down at Lian Shengru and lightly said, "Fourth Sister, it's Father's birthday today. You should consider what you should say and what you shouldn't say."

When Lian Shengru heard this, she blushed and pursed her lips. She tightly held her little sister's hand and no longer spoke.

"Hmph …" Lian Shiya snorted lightly and walked towards her seat with a smile on her face, passing by the people in the front row.

Liu Xi Man saw her walk in front of her and touched Lian Meng Yue: "I heard that she was crippled. It seems normal today. Could it be that the rumors were false?"

Lian Ruyue's eyes looked towards Lian Shiya's feet. The skirt on her body grew longer than usual and very appropriately covered her feet, so it was indeed impossible to see any clues.

"Maybe he thought of a way to cover it up." Lian Ruyue revealed a faint smile at the corner of her lips.

"Tch, no matter what, I'm still an ugly person. My own mother has already passed on. If I were to come out and play around in public, I would die of shame." Liu Xi glanced coldly at Lian Shiya's back, and purposefully raised his voice a bit as he spoke.

That's right, the matter of the Xiao Clan being abandoned by the Lian Clan was a huge issue that day in the capital. The entire two streets in front of the Residence of General were filled with people, and they had personally witnessed the "grand occasion" of the Xiao Clan being chased away.

So, after Liu Xi Ren instigated them, everyone started to whisper to each other and said some nasty words.

Lian Shiya's originally proud and elegant face went pale. She suddenly turned around and looked at Liu Xiren. Her eyes were filled with hatred. If it wasn't for such an important occasion, she really would have given that slut Liu a few slaps.

"Third Miss …" "Senior Servant Sun," Sun mama called out from the side as she touched her arm.

When Lian Shiya heard Senior Servant Sun's reminder, she suppressed the throbbing anger on her face and put on a seemingly impeccable smile. She raised her voice and said, "Is Miss Liu always this unreasonable when she visits other people's home? If you have any doubts about my father and mother's matter, why don't you go and ask my father personally, and he will be talking to Princess An Guo right there. Or rather, if you think that my mother is no longer here, do you think that I, the county lord of the emperor, won't even be able to attend his father's birthday banquet? "

"You!" When Lian Shiya said this, Liu Xi immediately stood up in anger and said, "Lian Shiya, stop putting on an act here. I know very well that others don't know what you are."

But Lian Shiya still wasn't angry and said, "I heard that Miss Liu was just engaged to the eldest son of the assistant minister of the Ministry of Industry. I wonder if they are clear about Miss Liu's rebellious personality."

"Lian Shiya, don't think that I don't know that you've thrown it at Gu Jinming in the past …"

"Third Sister, I'm afraid you can't stand for long. Sit down, don't talk about it anymore. This isn't something that's worth mentioning on the stage." Liu Xi Ren was also someone who wouldn't hide anything. He was provoked by Lian Shiya to directly clash with her and scolded her for purposely seducing a man. He even stopped her at the right time and unwittingly looked at Lian Shiya's feet as he spoke with a cold expression.

When Lian Shiya heard Lian Ruyue's words, she held back her words and fiercely glared at Liu Xi. Senior Servant Sun held her arm and said:

"Third young miss, hurry up and sit down. The Prime Minister will be entering soon as well."

"Humph!" Liu Xi Ren snorted and sat on the chair.

Lian Ruyue's gaze slowly and powerfully landed on Senior Servant Sun. This Senior Servant Sun could make the usually arrogant Lian Shiya listen to everything she said; it seemed like she really did have some ability. In her previous life, she had only met her twice in the Xiao family and had no impression of her.

"The Duke of Xiao has arrived!" At this moment, a loud and clear voice came from outside the door. When Lian Shiya heard this, her face immediately lit up.

"My uncle is here!"

He saw the Duke of Xiao, Madam Xiao, as well as the three sons of the Xiao family, Xiao Shan, Xiao He, and Xiao Hu all walk in together. The Duke of Xiao, dressed in a dark blue ancient profound robe, laughed heartily as he walked in front of Lian Yanqing and greeted him with a bow, "Lian Xiang, congratulations, congratulations, your blessings are like the East Sea, life is like Nanshan!"

Xiao Shan, Xiao He, and Xiao Hu stood behind Xiao Zhenhai and bowed together: "Wishing Uncle Lian luck like the East China Sea and life like Nanshan."

As he spoke, Xiao He brought out the birthday present he prepared and said, "This is the birthday present my father prepared. I'm disrespectful. Uncle Lian, please accept it."

Even Yan Qing laughed and cupped his hands, gesturing for the butler to accept the birthday present. He said, "Duke Xiao being so courteous is my honor. Please, please!"

"Please!" The Duke of Xiao cupped his hands and was led into the banquet hall by Lian Yanqing himself. They first paid their respects to the Emperor three times, then knelt in front of the various princes' seats before returning to their seats.

Xiao Shan found Lian Ru Yue and coldly snorted. Xiao He, on the other hand, had a dignified appearance and didn't pay any attention to anyone.

After Xiao Zhenhai sat down and looked at the bustling scene before him, his lips curled up into an imperceptible smile of mockery. His gaze fell onto the pair of serene, deep pool like eyes of the female guest seated opposite him.

Facing the gaze of the noble master, Xiao Zhenhai actually didn't cower. Instead, he felt that they were evenly matched.
