Perhaps because of the tense atmosphere in the room, the maid outside the door cautiously walked in and said: “In response to the lady, Chang Ting Hou’s Mansion sent someone to deliver a letter . ”

Mu Shi took advantage of the situation and stood up: “Well, ask someone to go to the small living room and wait, I’ll be over there in a minute . ”

Concubine Mei was left aside and lowered her head reluctantly .

General Yu struggled to get up, and said painfully, “Perhaps Chang Ting Hou knows that I’m back and wants to invite me over? You go and be a good host, and don’t forget your etiquette . ”

How can he go out to meet guests like this? He could only let Mu Shi go out and socialize .

As soon as Mu Shi was about to agree, she heard the trembling voice of the maid who reported the letter: “Yes… it’s Lady Hou who left the letter . Please invite the Fourth Lady to our house to enjoy the flowers . ”

“What!?” General Yu and Mu Shi said with surprise .

Yu Linglong was just a concubine, how could she be invited by Lady Changting Hou!?

Mu Shi’s eyes widened, staring at the maid: “Did you hear correctly? She didn’t invite Sixth Lady?”

Even if she wanted to invite a lady from the Yu mansion to be a guest, it should be Yu Qianjiao, who was invited as a concubine . What kind of status does Yu Linglong have, how can she be on the table!?

The maid was taken aback, and said in a low voice but clearly: “I, I heard correctly, it’s the Fourth Lady in our house . ”

General Yu and Mu Shi stared at her, and they were surprised for a while .

They originally wanted to clean up Yu Linglong, but this letter sent by Mrs . Chang Ting Hou completely changed the attitude of General Yu and Mu Shi .

It must be known that General Yu was originally a martial artist, and the noble circles in the capital respected the nobles of the Qing Dynasty . Although they are respectful to generals like General Yu, they are disdainful in their hearts . This attitude would also affect the future of the women who married into the Yu household . After all, few civil servants would like to marry into the family of a martial artist .

But now, the dignified Madam Chang Ting Hou actually sent a letter to a lady in the Yu household!

Regardless of position or status, Chang Ting Hou’s household is a family that General Yu and Mu Shi are eager to get into . This opportunity was very rare .

However, it was Yu Linglong who was invited!?

Mu Shi looked at General Yu with a look of embarrassment: “Master, how can it be Yu Linglong who received the invitation?”

It didn’t matter if she got into trouble at home, what if Yu Linglong was still as unscrupulous and unruly in the Hou Mansion? Losing the face of the Yu Mansion was a small matter, and offending Chang Ting Hou Mansion will have a greater impact on General Yu .

General Yu was also very shocked . Yu Linglong was just the daughter of a dancer . How could someone of this position be invited by Mrs . Chang Ting Hou?[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse . com]

However, in this situation, it was impossible to reject the Chang Ting Hou family . Wouldn’t this completely offend them?

General Yu only felt like his head was swimming, and the wounds on his body hurt even more .

The maid who reported the letter moved her feet uncomfortably and braced herself and said, “Master, lady, the person who sent the letter is still waiting for a reply!”

General Yu waved his hand dejectedly: “Send the letter to that girl . ”

Mu Shi frowned and said, “Master, you have seen what kind of temperament Linglong has, what if you offend Madam Hou—“

General Yu roared irritably, “What else should I do? Send the invitation back to someone else!? How can you tell Madam Hou that? You are still the lady in charge, don’t you even understand this?”

In the presence of concubine Mei, Mu Shi was scolded by General Yu, and she suddenly became stunned and couldn’t say a word .

The maid got the quasi response, and hurriedly left and went back to talk .

The more General Yu thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and the people around him became more upset . He waved his hand: “Leave!”

Mu Shi was so angry that she didn’t say a word, and turned around and took the people out .

Concubine Mei was overjoyed in her heart and walked gently to the bed of General Yu . She said softly: “Master, you are tired . Rest a bit . Mei Er is here to serve you . ”

General Yu hummed and closed his eyes tiredly .

…

In Pinlan Garden, Yu Linglong frowned slightly looking at the gilded red letter on the table .

Chang Ting Hou? What kind of person was this? She had never heard of them .

After searching the memory of the body for a long time, she couldn’t find the slightest information about Chang Ting Hou . What was the origin of this family? Why would she just invite her to be a guest? Yu Linglong couldn’t find a clue at all .

Xuan Cao looked at the letter on the table and couldn’t help saying: “Miss, are you going?”

Yu Linglong flipped through the delicate invitation, and said casually, “I’ll go, why not?”

Life was so idle in ancient times, and it was good to have the opportunity to go for a stroll .

Seeing that Yu Linglong was willing to go, Xuan Cao was overjoyed: “That’s great, I can also follow you to meet the world!”

Yu Linglong closed the invitation and said, “Why, do you really want to go?”

Xuan Cao grinned and said: “Yes, the servants in the mansion heard that you were going to Chang Ting Hou Mansion as a guest, and they were very envious!”

Yu Linglong raised her eyebrows slightly: “Envious? What is enviable about this?”

Having been bored in the Yu mansion for so many days, Xuan Cao yearned for being able to go out to visit, and her little mouth crackled and told Yu Linglong the news of the gossip: “I heard that the Chang Ting Hou heir has just turned 20 and he is very attractive . Many people want to marry him!”

Yu Linglong said disdainfully: “He’s good-looking, do you want to get married into his family?”

Xuan Cao smiled and said: “Yes, Chang Ting Hou’s family is very prominent, and the heir was born well . Many young ladies in the capital are looking forward to getting the eyes of the heir!”

Yu Linglong handed the letter to Xuan Cao: “Okay . It sounds like you have seen it with your own eyes . Put this stuff away, and you will come with me later . ”

Xuan Cao took the letter and said with joy: “When I go with the young lady, maybe I will see the heir again!”

Yu Linglong looked at Xuan Cao in shock . Who said that being love-struck was a modern invention? There were a lot of love-struck people in the ancient world, too!

Xuan Cao carefully put the letter into the jewelry box on the dressing table, turned around, and called Ling’er over: “Ling’er, come and help me choose clothes for Miss!”

Ling’er had been with Yu Linglong for a few days and had become a little accustomed to life here . After Yu Linglong bought her, she bought several little maids who were ruthless servants . Ling’er followed Xuan Cao to serve Yu Linglong’s daily life . Although she was a little clumsy, she was also hardworking .

Xuan Cao enthusiastically selected jewelry and said to Ling’er: “Help me, how about this outfit? Does it look good with this outfit?”

Yu Linglong watched the two pick and choose among the pile of jewelry sent by Mu Shi, and rubbed her forehead helplessly: “Is it going to be a beauty pageant, why is it so troublesome?”

Xuan Cao immediately said: “How is this troublesome? Miss, you were born beautifully, how can you be compared to those cosmetics!”

Yu Linglong simply stood up and went out: “You two take your time, I’ll go out to get some air . ”
