Chapter 815: Chapter 723, Stealing Chicken without Gaining, Losing Rice Instead (Two-in-One Large Chapter)

A storm erupted abruptly and concluded mysteriously.

The two Madams of the Jiang Family, usually the object of adulation, failed to gain any favor today; instead, they unwittingly made a lasting impression of the newly arrived Countess of Shengping from Beijing.

In contrast to the gloomy faces of the senior and junior Madams of the Jiang Family, Daohua went about her eating and drinking, even finding leisure to enjoy the musicians’ performance.

That left the crowd deep in thought.

Kang Naixin whispered to Wu Xirong, "Today’s drama has truly been surprising!" While speaking, she nodded towards Daohua’s direction, "This one must be either foolishly bold or truly backed by powerful support."

No matter what the Yan Family relied on, considering the Countess of Shengping’s calm and composed demeanor at that moment, she held her in higher esteem.

Wu Xirong glanced at Daohua, wordlessly commented, "It’s a wonder my second brother even bothered to instruct me. With the status that the Countess of Shengping holds, she’s hardly someone who needs my care!"

In the circle of Beijing’s young ladies, due to her illustrious family background, she seldom had to defer to others, whether facing the Jiang Family or the Guo Family, there was no need for excessive concern. Yet, confronting the Madams of the Jiang Family as directly as the Countess of Shengping had done, she admitted she couldn’t manage it.

Kang Naixin nodded in agreement. They might be formidable among the young ladies, but when facing the Madams of the various families, they were excessively obedient, unlike the Countess of Shengping, who was already dealing with adversaries of the Madam rank.

The key point was, the two Madams of the Jiang Family today hadn’t been able to get the better of her.

As for the various ambiguous looks cast her way, Daohua paid no heed, only sparing a few glances for Jiang Wanying who was staring at her coldly, and Guo Xueming whose expression was unsettled.

The people of Beijing were clever—born under the shadow of the imperial palace, they were very careful with their reputation. Aside from those lacking sharp wits, none would easily reveal their true stance.

Take today’s incident, for instance, it was a dispute between her and the Jiang Family. The Yan Family were the new nobles of Beijing, and since they had no conflicts of interest with the other families, the rest were content to watch the drama unfold. If anyone really wanted to please the Jiang Family, they wouldn’t be making things difficult for the Yan Family.

Only the Jiang Family and the Guo Family truly had conflicts of interest with the Yan Family.

Lunch slowly ended amidst the laughter and light-hearted banter of everyone, and the guests started to leave one after another.

Due to the conflict with the Jiang Family, Madam Li no longer wanted to stay at the Princess Residence. However, leaving immediately after lunch seemed rather impolite, so she took Daohua and a few others to sit down in a secluded pavilion.

Madam Li looked at her daughter and couldn’t help but feel worried.

Her daughter was being targeted today because of Yeyang.

It was just the Jiang Family now, but once her daughter’s relationship with Yeyang became public, the situation she would face would likely be even more complex and difficult than today.

The Empress Dowager in the palace, the Empress, and that whole host of imperial relatives—who among them would be easy to deal with?

Daohua sensed Madam Li’s concern, wrapped her arm around her mother’s, leaned on her shoulder, and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Mother, don’t worry, you’ve forgotten, I have powerful family backing me. I’m not afraid at all!"

Madam Li thought of Gu Jian and her expression relaxed slightly, but her brow was still furrowed.

Truthfully speaking, although Yeyang was not bad, if she had to choose, she would rather her daughter marry into an ordinary family, not wanting her to live such a tiring life.

Meanwhile, Han Xinran looked at Daohua with hesitation, feeling that the words her eldest sister said to the Madams of the Jiang Family at the banquet were a bit too much. Seeing Madam Li not scolding Daohua, it didn’t seem right for her to voice her opinion at this time.

Yan Yihuan and her two sisters remained silent.

Yan Yishuang was very calm. As the status of the Yan Family rose, she gradually recognized her own place. All the guests invited by the Princess today were nobility, beyond what she sought in a husband, so even if she couldn’t socialize with the other girls, she didn’t mind in the least.

Yan Yihuan had similar thoughts. She had carefully observed the young ladies at today’s banquet, and perhaps because of their high birth, each seemed quite arrogant. Even if they approached them to socialize, they might not get any attention in return, so they would rather stay in the pavilion and enjoy their own company.

Although Yan Yile was slightly annoyed at being confined to the pavilion, she knew that her presence at the Princess Residence was due to the favor of the main house, and at such a time, she would not contradict Madam Li.

"Miss Yan, may I have a word?"

Just as the Yan Family members were deep in their thoughts, Guo Xueming suddenly appeared outside the pavilion.

Daohua released Madam Li’s arm, glanced at Guo Xueming, pondered for a moment, then smiled and stood up. Seeing Madam Li’s worried face, she said with a smile, "Mother, I’ll just go aside and chat with Miss Guo."
