Chapter 976: Banquet (1)
Madam Li’s body had been weakened because of childbirth. Apart from a few madams who were on good terms with her, she had almost never been outside in the past two years. When she decided to host a banquet, it could be said to have shocked everyone.
As soon as the invitations were sent out, there were already people wondering what happened. After asking around, they found out that most of the people who received the post this time were low-ranking families with young girls. They could not help but speculate.
The heir of the Bulwark Duke’s residence was already ten years old this year. It was just right for him to be engaged at this age.
However, with the heir’s status, what kind of noble lady could he not marry? In the past, not to mention entering the Bulwark Duke’s residence, even if someone saw the Song family from afar, they would not dare to stare at them carefully. Why was this invitation sent to the houses of low-ranking families?
One such recipient was baffled. Could it be that the servants had sent it to the wrong person? He looked at the invitation again. The names and addresses were all from his own family. Fortunately, there was no mistake.
If they couldn’t figure it out, they would gather with their wives and talk to them. Some of them could see through it.
Not only did the Bulwark Duke’s Residence have a lot of military achievements, but were also the maternal family of the Empress. The crown prince had to call the old duke his maternal grandfather.
For such an extremely noble family, even if they showed the prince a noble lady, it would only be icing on the cake.
