Chapter 45

Qiu Mo followed Mrs. Li to the main hall of Qiuyi Pavilion, only to hear the servant girl shout loudly: "Mrs. Li, Mrs. Qiu San are here!"

Qiu Li, who was still discussing this wonderful scene with the girl next to her, was startled by the voice.She looked around, but saw Mrs. Li and Qiu Mo had already appeared in the attic, and Mrs. Li was walking in slowly stroking Qiu Mo's hand.

The blood on Qiu Li's face faded immediately, she clenched her fists quietly, and looked at Qiu Mo with gloomy eyes.But Qiu Mo didn't notice her at all, and just accompanied Mrs. Li, sitting in the host and guest position beside Mrs. Li.

At this time, everyone focused their attention on this seemingly unattractive little girl who was invited by Mrs. Li to be the host and guest.Everyone speculated about who she was.

"Dear friends and relatives!" Mrs. Li raised her glass to pay respects to everyone before she said slowly, "Today is the Qushui Liucup Banquet in Bifu, just to enjoy the autumn scenery and drink good wine with you all, so as to continue the eternal love ! But there were some twists and turns in the process." Mrs. Li paused and looked at Qiu Mo.

"Fortunately, there is this Mrs. Qiu San from the Qiu Mansion, my savior. She is not only kind, but also kind-hearted. She came up with the method of using this 'cliff cypress backflowing fragrance' to create a landscape, so we have the opportunity to appreciate it. It's a rare spectacle in front of you. You may wish to express your gratitude to her with tea instead of wine." Mrs. Li said.

Everyone suddenly realized that the person who created the fairyland in front of them was actually the third wife of the Qiu family who was sitting at the guest table.Moreover, Mrs. Li also said that she was her savior.Everyone didn't dare to neglect, stood up one after another, crossed their hands to Qiu Mo, and expressed their admiration for her.

At the end of the polite conversation, a melodious sound of pipa sounded, and the dancers dressed as Dunhuang Feixian came on the stage neatly and danced around the big silver plate in the center.The dance steps drive the smoke, lingering in the Qiuyi Pavilion, like a dream.

The whole banquet gradually came to an end in such a dreamy and beautiful atmosphere.

**************************************

Qiu Mo and Mrs. Li Yiyi said goodbye for a while before leaving Qiuyi Pavilion.She and Shuanghan were about to go home, but when they looked up, they saw Qiu Li standing outside the steps of the attic, staring at her.

"Third Sister, you really stole the limelight at this banquet today." Seeing that there was no one around, Qiu Li stopped pretending, and said to Qiu Mo with a hint of yin and yang.

Qiu Mo frowned when she heard the words, she turned around, and said to Qiu Li calmly: "Fifth sister, I advise you to take a look at the place if you have a small temper. This is the Governor's Mansion of Bingzhou."

"Hmph!" Qiu Li smiled coldly, but stopped talking.She glanced at the maidservant behind her, walked quickly towards Qiu Mo, deliberately bumped her shoulder severely when passing by, and then walked towards the door of Li's mansion on her own.

Qiu Mo stroked the bumped shoulder, she watched Qiu Li's back going away, and finally followed without saying a word with Shuang Han.

However, all of this fell into the eyes of Mrs. Li in Qiuyi Pavilion.

**************************************

Qiu Li, who returned to the Qiu Mansion, ran back to the room angrily.She was the first to throw the incense burner in the house out of the boudoir, but she still couldn't understand her hatred, and overturned the pillow to the ground.

Mrs. Tian's bedroom is not far from Qiu Li's room, when she heard the movement and rushed over to check, she only saw that the room was in a mess.

She hurriedly stepped forward to hold Qiu Li's arms, and pulled her daughter into her arms.Lady Tian gave a look to tell the servants behind her to quickly clean up the debris on the ground, and then asked her daughter softly, "Ancestor, be careful not to hurt yourself, what's wrong with you?"

Qiu Li leaned against Lady Tian's arms and began to sob. She cried intermittently: "Madam, Qiu Mo...it turns out that the Li Manor sent us invitations for her sake. My daughter might as well not go today..."

Lady Tian patted her on the back, and said in a warm voice, "Don't be upset, Li'er, tell your mother about the process slowly."

Sobbing, Qiu Li told Mrs. Tian what happened at the banquet just now, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "Qiu Mo is simply hiding evil intentions, she hides such a good incense, she just doesn't tell us, she just keeps it in this kind of place. Take it out on occasion to show off."

"Indeed." Tian Niangzi narrowed her eyes, and a cold light flashed across her eyes.

"It seems that she has been really busy recently. It is not that she is diligent in the development of Xiangyao, doing some opportunistic things. It seems that she is too indulgent to her."

Originally, Qiu Mo walked up to Wen Weixing's big Buddha, which was enough to make Mrs. Tian feel uncomfortable.His own daughter is thousands of times more beautiful than her, and she was able to win the favor of the official's children first.Li'er still dares to overwhelm her on this occasion.If she doesn't think of a way to return this matter, and prevent Qiu Mo from eating flies, she will really feel bad about it.

Although Madam Tian thought so in her heart, she also knew that the most important thing now was to appease her precious daughter: "Then Li'er is in Li's house today, so there is nothing to gain?"

"Hmm...not really..." Qiu Li seemed to have thought of something suddenly, her eyes that were still in tears suddenly lit up, and a blush of embarrassment appeared on her cheeks.

The gentleman at the banquet!When Qiu Li was still sitting around the stream, a man secretly stared at her for a long time.And when her eyes also swept over, the gentleman not only did not avoid, but even nodded slightly at her, showing a charming smile.

Now that Qiu Li thought about it carefully, that gentleman's appearance was Zhou Zhengqing and bright, with a faintly noble temperament revealed between his brows and eyes.The people around him were even more respectful towards him and did not dare to offend him.It's a pity that the subsequent rain disrupted all her plans, otherwise she would have had the opportunity to ask the man's name and identity.

"Li'er," Tian Niangzi urged when she saw her daughter bowed her head in silence, "speak quickly."

Qiu Li raised her head, gave Lady Tian a shy look, then stood up suddenly, coaxing her mother to push her out of the room.She said: "It's nothing, I'm tired, I want to rest for a while, the empress should go back to the house first."

Lady Tian was stunned for a moment, and laughed in her heart as to why the child was raining and sunny, so she let her go.
