WFWC Chapter 84

The Whole Family Went Crazy After Reading My Mind Chapter 84: Invitation Verification

Here, many wives and daughters of officials were discussing the matter.

Mrs. Lin’s expression was not obvious, but her fists hanging at her sides were clenched tightly. She tucked her long hair behind her ears in an elegant manner, and her smile was a little forced. “It’s my daughter’s coming-of-age ceremony, so it’s okay if it’s a little hard. What parent doesn’t love their own daughter?”

“That’s true. Since Madam Lin said that she didn’t send the banquet invitation to the Lu family, this is easy to handle. Just take out all the banquet invitations and look through them. I hate those people who take advantage of others the most. We must find out whether the Lu family has the banquet invitation today.”

Mrs. Ji’s words of hatred for evil were recognized by many neutral parties.

“If Madam Marquis insists on examining the letter, I have no problem with that. But if she does, the Lu family will lose face.”

Mrs. Lin sneered in her heart. She thought Mrs. Ji was so difficult to deal with, but it was nothing more than that! Isn’t it up to the Lin family to decide whether there are invitations to the banquet?

If this invitation really had to be verified, the Lu family would be slapped in the face.

Madam Duanmu was a little anxious and reminded in a low voice: “Madam Marquis, the Lin family probably had someone hide the Lu family’s invitation to the banquet a long time ago. She will insist that she can’t find the Lu family’s invitation to the banquet. She will have the final say on the right and wrong of this matter.” The Lu family was still the one who was embarrassed.

After hearing this, Mrs. Lu next to her also became anxious. She didn’t quite understand what Mrs. Ji meant. Was she helping her or adding insult to injury? After a short moment of hesitation, she believed the former. Since Mrs. Ji dared to stand with the Lu family, she had already made her attitude clear.

She shouldn’t have doubted her.

Madam Ji smiled and did not explain too much. She turned to Madam Lin and said, “I think this matter is of great importance. It is really shameful for a first-rank minister to come to the Lin family without a banquet. This matter must be investigated thoroughly. Therefore, Madam Lin, please take out the invitation in front of everyone and look through it.”

Everyone present should know that the Lu family has an invitation, but if you look for it, you may not find it. Therefore, many people suspect that Mrs. Ji is helping the Lin family.

For a moment Mrs. Lin thought so too.

That’s one thing to say, but once it’s confirmed that there is no invitation, it would be a real loss of face.

“Well, since Madam Marquis insists on having it checked, please wait a moment, I will do it myself.” Mrs. Lin emphasized the words “Mrs. Ji insisted on having it checked”. The meaning was very clear, the loss of face was not the Lin family’s business, it was the Ji family who insisted on making the Lu family lose face.

Mrs. Lin left, and all the ladies began to whisper.

“Mrs. Lin, the invitation to the banquet is nowhere to be found. Isn’t this just a self-contradictory move?”

“Yes, yes, I don’t know what Madam Ji was thinking. She actually wanted to verify the post in public. Madam Lu didn’t even try to stop her.”

“Shixue, do you really not have any invitation?” A young lady asked Lu Shixue who was standing in the corner watching the fun.

Lu Shixue wanted to say: How could there be no one? If not, how did she get in? This was clearly done on purpose by the Lin family. But now, in order to see Lu Qingyan’s joke, she couldn’t refute it.

She only said, “My mother brought me here. I don’t know if there are any invitations.” Then she wiped her eyes softly. She played the weak and innocent role perfectly.

Soon, Madam Lin and a maid came with the invitations. Madam Lin’s face was full of pride. She looked at Madam Lu, but said to Madam Ji: “Here are all the invitations received today. I wonder who Madam Marquis wants to check?”

Madam Lu tightly clenched her palms and silently comforted Lu Qingyan, who was full of worry. Since she chose to believe in Madam Ji, she would stand by her side unconditionally.

Ji Hua clapped her hands and praised her mother. [Mrs. Lin was completely misled by my mother at this time. Anyone who came forward to check the post could see that the handwriting was different. Since the handwriting was different, it meant that Mrs. Lin was lying. With so many people around, how could she remember that she did not send the post to the Lu family? ]

Ji Hua was still mumbling when she heard her mother’s voice: “May I come and check it myself? What do you think, Madam Lin?”

Mrs. Lin’s face was almost filled with pride. She suppressed the smile and said, “Of course you can. Everyone knows that Madam Marquis is a first-rank lady with an imperial title. She naturally has the power.” Go ahead and look for it. Look for all the invitations. If you can find the Lu family’s invitation, I lose.

Madam Ji thought: You still know that I am a royal lady? How dare you be so disrespectful to me?

Of course, this is not the time to dwell on this.

Mrs. Ji handed Ji Hua to Duanmu Yi and then walked across the pavilion.

[Mother is awesome, come on mother. ]

Ji Hua waved her chubby little hands to cheer Mrs. Ji up.

Lu Qingyan was originally worried, but when she heard Madam Ji say that she would personally go to the check the invitations, her restless heart inexplicably calmed down a lot. She turned her head and saw Ji Hua smiling at her adorably.

[Hehe, don’t worry, Mrs. Lin, that brainless girl, has been led astray by my mother, she is doomed to fail! ]

Here, Madam Ji had already come in front of Madam Lin and stood there gracefully. “Can I begin?”

“Of course you can, Madam Marquis, please!” Madam Lin had a bad feeling when she saw the smile on Madam Ji’s face. But she couldn’t figure out what could go wrong.

Mrs. Ji only casually flipped through two invitations. The handwriting on the two invitations was the same, so she thought they were written by the same person. The further she flipped through the pages, the different the handwriting became.

She suddenly smiled and raised the different banquet invitation in her hand.

Mrs. Lin thought she had found the Lu family’s invitation and was panicked. But then she thought again, she had just torn up the Lu family’s invitation herself, so how could there still be a Lu family invitation?

She stretched her neck to look, and what she saw was an invitation from the General’s Mansion. She immediately felt relieved. The next second, she heard Madam Ji say, “The handwriting on this invitation is completely different from the previous one. Didn’t Madam Lin say that you wrote it all yourself? Why is the handwriting different?”

Mrs. Ji held up both invitations high so that the other ladies could see them clearly. There was an obvious difference in the handwriting on the two invitations.

Without waiting for Madam Lin to argue, Madam Ji continued, “Madam Lin’s holding of a coming-of-age banquet for Miss Lin ahead of time has already aroused suspicion. Is she lying? I wonder if the Lin family is deliberately trying to embarrass Miss Lu?”

“Isn’t this a slap in the face of the Crown prince?” As long as the Crown prince has not broken off the engagement, Lu Qingyan will still be his future princess. The Lin family is so bold that they don’t even take the Crown princess seriously.

Everyone who came here was a shrewd person. Everyone knew that the Lin family wanted to embarrass the Lu family. But if you put it on the surface, it would be a bit mean. The dignified master is a great tutor and the Crown prince’s mentor. This is a slap in the face of the Crown prince and the royal family.

I don’t know how the Grand Tutor was persuaded by two simple-minded and strong-limbed women. I guess he thought that Lu Qingyan and the Second Prince were really in love, and the Crown Prince was the one who stole her love.
