Chapter 466 - 464 Past Events
Fortunately, the day went quite smoothly. With Yin Lanxu accompanying them throughout, Qi Sanshun and Qi Jiaer, along with several children from other families, had a great time playing inside and outside the Marquis Zhongyong’s Mansion. Most guests were military generals, and their children rarely sought to outdo others in speech to gain advantage. Coupled with Qi Sanshun’s boldness and Qi Jiaer’s cleverness, the day ended without any conflicts, and they even made a few close friends.
After sending off the guests, the family gathered in the room of Marquess Zhongyong’s wife, Madam Cao, who asked with a smile how the two little ones enjoyed playing.
Qi Jiaer, still in high spirits, answered eagerly, "Grandma, we had so much fun, and everyone liked us. Sister was looking after us, and Brother Sanshun and I felt so secure. We didn’t worry at all about anyone daring to bully us."
Madam Cao nodded at Ye Xinyan, "Our Xinyan really has grown up and become sensible."
Qi Jiaer, rather curious, took a serious look at Ye Xinyan and whispered to himself, Sister has already grown up, hasn’t she? Grandma’s words are quite strange.
Madam Yin, after helping Madam Sun with the feast’s miscellaneous affairs, led Ye Xinyan and her two brothers back to the Duke An’s Mansion. In Madam Yin’s room, they surprisingly found two invitations awaiting Madam Yin and Ye Xinyan: the Princess Fu’s invitation to a banquet on the eighth day of the month. Since they were out visiting, the invitations were delivered to Madam Yin’s room. According to Nanny Huang, another invitation was already sent to the Duchess.
"Separate invitations, huh," mused Madam Yin, as she picked up and examined the invitations. She handed Ye Xinyan hers without a second thought.
Upon reading the content of the invitation, Ye Xinyan immediately felt overwhelmed. Was she that close to the Princess Fu? Was there such a need to word it this way in the invitation?
