Chapter 366 I'll go see what they want to do
Lu Shao has always had people keeping an eye on Marquis Guan Yong’s mansion.
So he received the news that Wen Xianglian had taken the initiative to visit Mrs. Jiao on the same day.
After returning home, he told Qiao Ye about this.
Qiao Ye thought for a moment and said, "It just so happens that I have offended Madam Jiao, and she has said that she doesn't like me for a few days."
"Wen Xianglian took the initiative to visit. I don't believe there is something fishy going on here."
Lu Shao said: "Although I don't know what the two talked about, there must be something wrong."
"I suspect Wen Xianglian wants to plot against you."
Qiao Ye asked: "Do Wen Xianglian and Madam Jiao have a good relationship?"
Lu Shao replied: "Before, the Jiao family almost married the Wu family."
"Wen Xianglian wants to marry her stepdaughter to Madam Jiao's youngest son."
"The young master of the Jiao family has been spoiled by Madam Jiao. He is a typical dandy who indulges in drinking, gambling, whoring and bullying."
"So Guanyongbo's wife and the Crown Prince disagreed and tried to ruin the marriage."
"That also offended the Jiao family."
"So Wen Xianglian took the initiative to visit under such circumstances. She must want to join forces with Madam Jiao to plot something."
Qiao Ye thought for a moment and said, "It is very likely that they are targeting Miss Wu."
"As for me, there's a chance I'll be implicated."
"Now that I know they might be plotting against me, I have to be on my guard recently."
She added: "Soon, we should know what they are going to do."
If someone is plotting against her, he will definitely take action.
Lu Shao nodded, "Be careful recently."
Two days later, an invitation arrived from the Jiao family.
When Lu Shao came back from the academy, he saw the invitation on the table in the room.
He picked it up and looked at it.
Then he frowned and said to Qiao Ye: "I really want to plot against you."
Qiao Ye sneered, "You are targeting me."
"This invitation comes from someone with bad intentions."
Mrs. Jiao made it known that she didn't like her, meaning that everyone should stay away from her.
But the other party's eldest daughter-in-law sent her an invitation to a birthday party, which was clearly a Hongmen Banquet.
Lu Shao asked, "Madam, are you going?"
"If you don't want to go, just postpone it."
"Since we have already offended the Jiao family, it doesn't matter if we offend them a little more."
Qiao Ye thought for a moment and said, "If you push it once, there will be a second time and a third time."
"It's annoying to be constantly on the radar of thieves and have to be on guard all the time."
"I'll go and see what they're up to."
"Wen Xianglian is ruthless and her ideas are probably very dirty."
"It's impossible for the Jiao family to hold a birthday party just to plot against me."
"I suspect their main target is Miss Wu, and I am a byproduct."
"Since we have secretly joined forces with Wu Xiangluan, it would be nice if I could go and see if I could help Miss Wu."
Lu Shao was a little worried, "I'm mainly afraid that Madam Jiao will use something to pressure you."
"After all, she is not only Madam Jiao, but also the county lady appointed by the late emperor."
These powerful ladies don't need to come up with any high-sounding excuses when they want to find fault and deal with people.
For example, if the young wife said something, Mrs. Jiao might say that she was talking back to her and ask someone to slap her in the face.
He doesn't want his young wife to suffer any injustice.
What Lu Shao thought of, Qiao Ye naturally thought of as well.
She gave him a reassuring look and said, "I will definitely not go to the banquet alone."
"My godmother said she was going with me."
Mrs. Jiao said that she didn't like her. When her godmother heard about it, she came to find her and told her about the grudge between them.
Tell her not to be afraid and I will support her.
After that, the godmother spread the word that she would never forgive anyone who dared to bully or touch her goddaughter.
When the Jiao family sent the invitation, the godmother happened to be at her house having afternoon tea together.
The godmother's intention was to go and see what Madam Jiao and Wen Xianglian were up to.
Otherwise, you will always be kept in mind and there will always be times when you are not prepared.
It would be better to take the initiative to meet it this time.
The Jiao family did not send an invitation to the godmother, but the godmother asked her maid to ask for it from Mrs. Jiao's eldest daughter-in-law.
Sure enough, not long after, the Jiao family sent an invitation.
With her godmother accompanying her, she naturally wouldn't be afraid of others using their status to suppress her.
When Lu Shao heard that Wei Fenghua was going to accompany his young wife, he relaxed his brows and said, "It would be nice if your godmother would accompany you."
"Birthday banquets usually invite a theatre troupe, etc. I will also arrange for two people to go to Jiao's house at that time."
"If there's anything, I can help you."
Qiao Ye nodded, "Okay."
"By the way, you should also secretly say hello to Prince Wu and ask her sister to be careful and on her own when the time comes."
"Better stay with us as much as possible."
Wen Xianglian's methods were dirty, and she was afraid that the woman wanted to push the girl into a fire pit.
Mrs. Jiao's son is not a good guy, and Mrs. Jiao is an evil mother-in-law.
If Miss Wu's innocence is ruined by a plot, she will have no choice but to enter the wolf's den.
After all, whether in TV dramas or novels, this kind of banquet is the place where such things are most likely to happen.
If the ladies in the harem want to ruin a girl, the most effective way is to start with her innocence.
Lu Shao nodded, "My lady is really thoughtful. I will find a chance to meet him tomorrow."
Thanks to Jiang Yilin's introduction, he got to know many young men in the capital.
Among them, he also got to know Wu Xiangluan, and they had a good relationship because they had a common enemy.
In the blink of an eye, it was time for Mrs. Jiao’s eldest daughter-in-law’s birthday party.
Qiao Ye did not go alone, but went with Wei Fenghua.
On the Wu family's side, Wu Xiangluan, after being reminded by Lu Shao, also specifically told his sister to be careful.
The post specifically stated that Wen Xianglian should bring her two children to the banquet.
The old lady also asked two capable maids to accompany her granddaughter to the banquet.
Qiao Ye and Wei Fenghua arrived neither too early nor too late.
Mrs. Jiao's eldest daughter-in-law was in front to greet the guests.
After seeing Wei Fenghua and the other person, she bowed to Wei Fenghua and said, "Greetings, Princess!"
Then he looked at Qiao Ye with a friendly smile on his face, "This must be the princess's goddaughter, she looks so outstanding."
Wei Fenghua smiled and said, "You are just sweet-talking."
Qiao Ye bowed politely and said with a smile, "Madam, you are too kind."
Having a friendly face doesn't mean you are actually friendly.
It can be seen that Mrs. Jiao's eldest daughter-in-law is very good at socializing and is very versatile.
Mrs. Jiao's eldest daughter-in-law smiled and personally escorted the two of them to the seats that had been arranged for them.
There are already quite a few ladies sitting here.
After seeing Wei Fenghua, they all stood up and greeted her.
Because Wei Fenghua has a strong background and is arrogant and domineering, no one is blind enough to find fault with him.
What's more, there were even many people who praised Qiao Ye to Wei Fenghua.
Qiao Ye sat next to Wei Fenghua and responded one by one in a graceful and humble manner.
This made these ladies look at her with a higher regard.
I sighed in my heart that Qiao Ye was indeed not simple, as she was adopted as the goddaughter by Princess Yong'an and was taken care of so much.
Qiao Ye and the others had just sat down for a moment when Wen Xianglian walked in with two girls.
