She made another ten dishes and made sure that there was enough to fill everyone’s stomachs.
After she sat down, Feng Xun glanced at her. “Xiao Wu, today is your birthday, and we’ve prepared —”
Boom!
Before he finished speaking, fireworks filled the sky.
Feng Wu looked over her shoulder and saw the colorful fireworks. The pattern formed a few letters that said “happy.”
What?
Feng Wu didn’t know who was firing them.
Moreover, she was amazed that people of this age could actually use fireworks to form words.
Jun Linyuan glanced at Feng Xun in satisfaction.
Feng Xun was rendered speechless.
He felt that something was off, because the first word was supposed to be “Feng.”
Boom!
Soon, the second wave of fireworks was in the sky, and formed the second part of the word: “ness.”
Feng Xun grew uneasy. Were those fireworks of the Zuo family?
Meanwhile —
Mrs. Zuo was panic-stricken.
She had bragged that the crown prince would definitely be there.
She even told the others that the crown prince would propose to Zuo Qingluan tonight, which was why all the guests were here.
‘They were here for the crown prince!
Even Mrs. Dugu was anxious. She led Mrs. Zuo to the side and asked, “Will His Royal Highness come tonight?”
Mrs. Zuo said, “I don’t know!”
Mrs. Dugu said, “You don’t know? How can you not know?! Didn’t you say that the crown prince would definitely be here? We’ll be so humiliated!”
Mrs. Zuo said, “We sent an invitation to the crown prince’s residence, and Qingluan says she sent one as well.”
Mrs. Dugu asked, “Then what did the crown prince’s residence say?”
Mrs. Zuo fell silent. In fact, the crown prince’s residence never gave any reply. She had only been so certain because Zuo Qingluan said so.
Mrs. Dugu said, “I hope they’ll be here soon. Mrs. Tao is already asking questions. If His Royal Highness still doesn’t come, the other families will grow doubtful as well.”
While the two of them talked behind a tree, several other guests were discussing among themselves.
“Do you think His Royal Highness will come tonight?”
“| think so. Isn’t the crown prince going to propose to Miss Qingluan?”
“But we’re already halfway through the banquet. Shouldn’t His Royal Highness be here already?”
“If everything tums out to be a lie, Miss Qingluan will be so humiliated.”
Mrs. Zuo was furious when she heard the conversation, but she couldn’t retort.
She was supposed to be the elegant lady of the Zuo family and couldn’t shout and curse like a commoner. Moreover, they were right. His Royal Highness still hadn’t arrived.
“Luan, why are you out here?” Mrs. Dugu was surprised when she turned around and saw Zuo Qingluan.
Under the flickering lights, Zuo Qingluan looked rather scary.
Before Zuo Qingluan could say anything, Mrs.. Zuo’s maid arrived in a hurry and said, “My lady, I have good news!”
