After the meal, everyone in the Qi family started to get busy.
Tang Li brought a group of women from the Qi family to entertain the female guests. After meeting Tang Li in the previous banquet, the madams and ladies in Imperial Capital did not dare to have any ill intentions towards her. Instead, many people thought of ways to suck up to her and wanted to ask her for a talisman.
However, some of the women who came from overseas still had designs on Qi Yihan.
“Madam, Mr. Mitchell’s daughter just went to Master and intentionally tripped over.”
When Butler Zhang came to report this kind of thing to Tang Li for the umpteenth time, Tang Li was already numb to it. She asked, “How did Yihan react?”
“Master said in front of Mitchells that if their daughter couldn’t stand properly, he would send her to the doctor. It just so happens that there are more than a hundred doctors in the Qi family today.”
Qi Yihan had hired dozens of doctors just in case of an emergency.
Tang Li held back her laughter and nodded at Butler Zhang, indicating that she understood.
Butler Zhang quickly left.
At this moment, a Madam finally asked curiously, “Fourth Madam, do you still have something to do? Your butler has been coming to see you repeatedly.”
“Don’t worry, just some small things.”
When Tang Li said that, the madam immediately asked, “Then, Mrs. Tang, after the wedding banquet ends, can you sell me a Peace Talisman? My son is going overseas soon, so I’m always worried about him. I can only be at ease with Fourth Madam’s Safety Talisman.”
Hearing that, the other madams quickly added, “Fourth Madam, we also want to buy a talisman.”
Xiang Wanwan, who was standing on the other side, said to Su Ziqing with admiration, “Miss Tang is really amazing. I feel like all the madams in the upper-class circle of Imperial Capital have been subdued by her.”
Su Ziqing said, “Considering how capable Cousin is, I’m not surprised.”
At this moment, Tang Zitong and Tang Lei walked over.
“Ziqing, Wanwan.” Tang Zitong smiled at the two of them. “The dress you’re wearing today is really beautiful. Ziqing looks so handsome and Wanwan looks so fresh.”
Su Ziqing glanced at her dress and smiled. “Yours is beautiful too.”
Xiang Wanwan immediately praised, “Yes, Zitong is also very beautiful.”
After saying that, she looked at Tang Lei and hesitated for two seconds before saying, “Brother Lei is also very handsome today.”
Tang Lei smiled gently at her, his eyes overflowing with love. “Thank you. This dress suits you very well.”
Xiang Wanwan felt a little ill at ease. After all, Tang Lei had told her about his feelings before. She felt that it was not good to say too much to him.
Tang Lei seemed to have sensed it and said to the three of them, “I’ll go to find Fourth Brother-in-law and see if there’s anything I can help him with.”
After the three of them nodded, he left.
Shortly after he left, Tang Lei saw Qi Lingxuan walking out from the other side.
Qi Lingxuan was wearing a sapphire blue suit today. With his handsome facial features and tall figure, many young women were peeping at him.
His expression was cold, attracting many young girls.
Tang Lei looked at the man and felt that Qi Lingxuan was, for some reason, hostile to him.
However, he still nodded at Qi Lingxuan gentlemanly before walking towards Qi Yihan.
Qi Lingxuan did not respond to Tang Lei. After Tang Lei left, his gaze became even colder. Then, he looked at Xiang Wanwan, who was walking towards Tang Li, and thought about how to make her fall in love with him.
No one could take the woman he liked away from him!
After the three of them walked to her side, Tang Li introduced them to everyone.
Everyone was familiar with Tang Zitong. After all, she knew how to talk and was the daughter of the Tang family. Now that she opened an entertainment company with Tang Li, everyone was quite enthusiastic towards her.
Su Ziqing didn’t talk much in front of people she didn’t know. After Tang Li introduced her to everyone, she nodded politely at everyone and then pursed her lips tightly without saying anything.
No one knew Xiang Wanwan. As the female lead, even if she stood there without saying anything, there would usually be people who disliked her.
Hence, as soon as she stood beside Tang Li, the women standing further away started discussing her.
“That person looks unfamiliar to me. She’s definitely not from our circle. Also, look at what she’s wearing today. It’s a joyous occasion. Why is she dressed so plainly? I feel that she’s deliberately trying to attract the attention of the unmarried masters of the Qi family.”
“That’s right. Didn’t they say that Fourth Madam is very difficult to approach? How did that woman get close to her?”
“Didn’t you see that she came with Fourth Madam’s cousin? She must have sucked up to Fourth Madam’s cousin first.”
“I know her. She’s from Imperial University’s Literature Department. I heard that her family background is average and she often does odd jobs. Not long ago, she suddenly had a lot of money and stopped doing odd jobs.”
“So she’s a mistress. How can such a person be qualified to attend the Qi family’s banquet?”
“I think we’d better think of a way to let Fourth Madam know her true colors.”
Just as the women were discussing, a voice was heard speaking behind them, “Ladies, isn’t it a little inappropriate to talk about a girl like that? Besides, do you think Madam and her cousin are easy to fool?”
The women shuddered and suddenly turned to look at Butler Zhang, who was standing behind them.
At the same time, their hearts skipped a beat.
How long had he been standing behind them?
Also, wasn’t he Butler Wang? Why did he have time to eavesdrop on their conversation?
Butler Zhang answered their confusion. “My mission today is to hear who is gossiping about Madam and her friends. Misses, you probably don’t know yet, but Madam said that if anyone dares to spout nonsense, she will kick them out.”
After Butler Zhang finished speaking, he looked stern, making the women’s faces turn pale.
“No, no, no… We didn’t say anything just now. You must have heard it wrong.”
If they were really kicked out of the Qi family, they would no longer be able to stay in the circle.
The women were so frightened that they denied what they had just said.
Butler Zhang looked at their frightened expressions and said kindly, “I can choose not to tell Madam what you just said, but I hope you won’t spout nonsense again. Also, Miss Xiang is a VIP invited by Madam herself. You’d better not say anything bad about her.”
After saying that, Butler Zhang turned and left.
Looking at Butler Zhang leave, the women shuddered uncontrollably. Then, they looked at each other and walked to the other side.
