Chapter 1066: Refuse (10,000 updates)_4
Tian Hui was kind-hearted, but that didn’t mean she was foolish. The words Caicai spoke seemed innocent on the surface, but if someone as serious as Yan Ruchun heard them, she would definitely have accused her of disrespect. What, is handing out invitations for another family’s young lady too much trouble for you? Should the young lady perhaps wait at home specifically for you?
However, Tian Hui was naturally gentle and didn’t wish to upset anyone, so she didn’t take Caicai’s words to heart but simply nodded with a smile, choosing not to continue the conversation.
Oblivious to her recent mistake, Caicai turned to Lin Yuan with a smile, spread the invitation open in her palm, and said, "Miss Lin, my young lady is hosting a banquet at our mansion on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month. She has invited a few young ladies she’s close to from the Capital City for a gathering. She specifically sent me to invite you to join the fun, it would be the perfect opportunity to introduce you to the other young ladies so you won’t feel lonely when you’re all playing together."
Listening to Caicai’s reasonable words, Lin Yuan thought she might have been overly suspicious just moments before.
Just as she was about to speak, Tian Hui quickly interjected, "Oh, what a pity, Sister Yao is a bit late."
Caicai, taken aback, heard Tian Hui continue, "The princess has missed seeing Miss Lin these past few days and is very eager. This morning she sent me to invite Miss Lin to the General Mansion the day after tomorrow for a chat. Caicai, I’m afraid neither of us will be able to attend your young lady’s banquet. You might as well take this chance to convey our message. When we have some free time, I will host, and personally invite the young ladies to my home for a gathering."
Tian Hui had made her point so clearly that Caicai, no matter how foolish, didn’t dare to argue. Her young lady’s status wasn’t high enough to compete with Princess Anle for guests!
Left with no choice, Caicai could only bow respectfully and exit with a sense of frustration.
Watching Caicai leave, Lin Yuan whispered to Tian Hui in the side hall, taking care not to arouse suspicion from Mr. and Mrs. Liu. She lowered her voice, chuckling, "I never expected you, sister, to tell lies and deceive people."
