Chapter 871: Debut
ded to let Zong Hu realize the situation and propose a division of property before she intervened again. She aimed to make them bear this pressure themselves.Wang Yanyi could be seen crying, tears str...Fang Jinshi thus allowed Mu Shi to appear in the sight of everyone.
Immediately someone flattered.
"Grandmother looks much too young! If it weren't for Madam Fang's introduction beforehand, we would have thought the two of you were sisters."
Calling her sister was a bit of an exaggeration, that person's intention to please the Jinshi Mountain Villa was very obvious. Although others were somewhat dismissive, Mu's appearance did indeed surprise them with how young she looked.
Thank you all for your compliments. My mother-in-law is not used to having guests and may not be very hospitable, please forgive her shortcomings.
Mu shi's cheeks flushed slightly at the man's words. How old was she The man's eyes were simply too unkind! How could she possibly look like a sister to her daughter-in-law.
Knowing that her mother-in-law had thin skin, Fang Jinshu protected Mu shi very well and did not give anyone a chance to tease her.
Today, there were simply too many guests at the Hundred Vegetables Feast for Mu to be comfortable looking into the crowd. She missed Zong Pingchuan's fascinatingly complex expression at this moment.
But Fang Jinshu saw it all clearly.
After Mu arrived and took her seat at the table for women guests, the grand vegetarian banquet officially began. Fang Jinshu instructed the staff to start serving the dishes.
During this time, Yuan Xiangli kept her gaze fixed on Mu Shi, who was seated at a table away from her. She was speaking softly and gracefully with the people beside her. Although half the people at the table were unfamiliar to her, Mu Shi, despite being shy and timid, did not appear flustered.
On the contrary, she gave off a very refined air, and her gentleness won over many of the ladies. Gradually, the atmosphere became more pleasant, and Mu's nervousness eased. After that, they chatted more cheerfully.
For some reason, Yuan Xiangli felt a strange sensation in her heart. Looking at the woman who was much older than herself but had a more delicate face, she inexplicably felt a tinge of jealousy.
Many eyes from the male guests still occasionally glanced at Mu's side. Suddenly, Yuan Xiangli felt a surge of joy in her heart and turned to look at her own husband.
At first glance, Yuan Xiangli was almost driven to fury.
Zongpingchuan was actually tilting his head, staring straight at that Mu family member!
Yuan Xiangli clutched the handkerchief in her hand, her teeth clenched in fury.
She kept reminding herself that her purpose in coming here today was not to disrupt Fang Jinshu's banquet, but to seek help.
She could only desperately think of her young son at home, trying to calm herself down.
His straight and simple eyes were really unbearable for her.
These two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are both vixens from the deep mountains! One is more alluring than the other.
A low-born wretch, unfit to even show his face in public! That's all he has up his sleeve.
She turned back, picked up her chopsticks, her face as dark as storm clouds. The delicious food on the table was constantly praised and discussed by everyone, but Yuan Xiangli couldn't bring herself to take a single bite.
I'm so mad!
Finally, the banquet ended, and it was time for everyone to be led inside Jinshiu Mountain Villa for a tour, accompanied by chat and tea.
At this point, everyone could go their separate ways and socialize. Fang Jinshu wouldn't have to personally attend to each guest anymore.
The Hundred Vegetable Feast brought so many surprises to everyone present. Many people immediately focused on Fang Jinshi as soon as they sat down, and as soon as she became free, they swarmed around her.
Everyone is
trying to find out what they want.
The most frequently asked question is about Mu's skincare secrets.
The Mu family was also surrounded by the crowd.
Today, both children Fang Jinshi and Mu Shi were probably too preoccupied to attend to, so they were left in the care of King Jing. Jin Yu followed the two young masters.
King Jing didn't join the main table. He wasn't interested in the commotion. Fang Jinshu had a small room set up for him in the hall, and he dined there with his two children. The three of them enjoyed a lavish feast in private, eating more comfortably than those seated outside.
After dinner, Yuanbao missed his grandmother.
The little boy climbed onto King Jing's lap, his little mouth pouted.
"Why can't I eat with Mama and Grandma today"
"Yuánbǎo spends every day with Granny. I miss Granny."
Yuanbao had always been well-provided for by the Mu family. Fang Jinshi was often away when busy, and Yuanbao was used to not seeing her mother. However, he absolutely couldn't stand it when his grandmother wasn't around.
The little ones were clamoring to find Mu Shi. King Jing couldn't control this little demon at all, Jin Yu coaxed for a long time but it didn't work, he could only ask Dong Er for help.
"Young Master Dong'er, look."
Dong'er got up and pulled the gold ingots off from Jing Wang.
Yuanbao was still more afraid of his older brother's anger. Seeing Dong'er with a stern face, he had no choice but to obediently come down.
"Come on, I'll take you to find Grandma, but today is an important day for Mother to host guests. You absolutely mustn't cause any trouble."
"Otherwise, your brother won't be able to protect you either."
Xiaoyuan nodded vigorously, indicating that he understood.
Dong'er was a little worried. He thought his mother wouldn't let Yuanbao go out for a reason, and he didn't know if it was right to bring Yuanbao out to find Granny Ah-mah.
But he couldn't stand his younger brother's tears.omfortable. She had finally found a way to get back at Fang but couldn't use it. It was simply too frustrating.A maidservant from the manor came up and filled her with wine, looking at the wine glass...
