Chapter 455 - 296: Finally, Someone Dared to Take on Gui Jianchou_2
"Seventeenth Lady!" The person first steadied their feet and hastily reached out to help Ran Yan.
"You... This..." Dugu Lanyan was already full of ire with nowhere to vent, initially assuming it was just a maid, speaking halfway before noticing the other party actually had a married woman’s coiffure, couldn’t help but look at her doubtfully.
Ran Yan stabilized her footing and then clearly saw it was Er Dong.
"This concubine was in a hurry and bumped into Seventeenth Lady and the two noble guests, please punish me as you will," Er Dong quickly knelt down to admit her fault.
"It’s nothing, you may go if you have business," said Ran Yan.
Er Dong hesitated for a moment before promptly making her apologies to Dugu Lanyan and Cheng Qing’er and left for the back courtyard.
There were only two masters in this mansion, Ran Pingyu and Ran Yunsheng; Dugu Lanyan for an instant wasn’t sure whether Er Dong was a concubine of Ran Pingyu or Ran Yunsheng. She wanted to ask Ran Yan but seeing her face as cold as an iceberg and her eyes not straying, she ended up letting it go; and then reconsidering that a maid or concubine, even if she belonged to Yunsheng, what difference would it make? She thus did not ponder any longer and went straight from the Inner Gate to her carriage.
It was already noon and today, thanks to Dugu Lanyan and Cheng Qing’er’s visit, the kitchen had prepared a table full of delicacies. Since there were no guests to observe formality, her own family actually ended up thoroughly enjoying a feast.
"Lady, several families have sent invitation cards," seeing Ran Yan leisurely leaning on a daybed reading a book, Xing Niang put the invitation cards on the table in front of her.
