Chapter 321: Uncontrollable Jealousy
Seeing that Duan Yixin and the Chi siblings were silent, Qiu Yuanbo stepped aside and said, "Miss Duan, Young Master Chi, Miss Chi, His Majesty heard that the three of you were coming, so he took out tribute tea for you to taste. Please enjoy it. Nucai had to go back and report to His Majesty, so Nucai will take my leave first."
Duan Yixin nodded and smiled, "Then we won’t keep Qiu Gong Gong. Gong Gong, please walk slowly."
Qiu Yuanbo bowed slightly to them and left. After Qiu Yuanbo left, Duan Yixin and the Chi siblings looked at the white jade table filled with snacks. The young eunuch had already made a pot of tea for them and said, "Young Lady, please enjoy the tea."
While Duan Yixin and the Chi siblings were happily drinking tea and admiring flowers, the young ladies and noble madams were observing them. In another pavilion, a young lady covered her lower face with an embroidered fan and looked at Duan Yixin.
She covered her sneer and gently said, "That young lady looks unfamiliar. Do madams or young ladies know who she is?"
Madam Guan fanned herself gently with her embroidered fan, pondered for a moment, and answered, "That young lady should be the daughter of Xie Guogong."
Upon hearing this shocking news, the madams and young ladies turned to look at her. As Guan Zhiyao’s wife, Madam Guan must know a lot of information that they don’t know because her husband and Xin Yuzheng’s information network is well-known.
Madam Guan noticed their curious gazes and smiled, "The young ladies may not know, but the madams should know since they have met Xie Guogong’s wife, right?"
When Madam Xin heard this, her eyes lit up. She looked at Madam Guan and said, "Madam, you are indeed right. This young lady looks very similar to Xie Guogong’s wife. Has Xie Guogong finally found his wife?"
Madam Guan thought for a while and said, "Before knowing the truth, it is best not to speculate on Xie Guogong’s household affairs."
Madam Xin pondered over Madam Guan’s words. They only saw a young lady who looked very similar to Xie Yanghui’s wife, but not his wife. Since this is an imperial banquet, every noble madam and young lady must attend. It is impossible for Xie Yanghui’s wife not to participate unless she cannot come or is not in the imperial capital city.
A few seconds later, Madam Xin’s eyes flickered. She sighed in her heart and said, "Madam Guan is right. We shouldn’t talk and speculate about things we don’t know."
