Chief Minister Wang's birthday feast came as scheduled, and he specially sent a butler to invite Xie Heng and Wen Jiu to the mansion.

”My wife has always said that Young Madame has a good face. She wants to make use of today's birthday banquet to get to know you.

He knew that Xie Heng was not someone who would give him face, so he praised Wen Jiu without even mentioning anything.

”I've also admired Madam Wang for a long time.”

Wen Jiu laughed, and replied without batting an eyelid.

Xie Xuan had not appeared for a few days and she was currently not in the manor either. Putting aside the fact that it would be inconvenient for her to go to Chief Minister Wang's birthday banquet by herself, she did not know what kind of trouble she would encounter.

He still had to be careful.

Just as they were talking, the attendant reported, ”The general has returned.”

With that, the youth entered the room. ”Jiu, change your clothes. Let's go watch the show.”

This man talked about the birthday banquet in Chief Minister Wang like he was going to a market!

Wen Jiu resisted the urge to hold onto his forehead and said, ”I haven't finished clearing the account book in my hands.”

The owner of the teahouse was suddenly sent to prison. She hadn't cleared up the mess she had left behind previously. After she took over, she still needed to spend more effort to find out.

”Put it down first.”

Xie Heng walked closer, and his voice had a hint of a smile, ”I'll bring you to see a good show.”

Wen Jiu, ”...”

The manager of the Chief Minister Wang family was still standing there. Elder brother, is it appropriate for you to speak like that?

Xie Heng urged, ”Let's change our clothes first.”

”Eldest brother …”

Wen Jiu still wanted to say something, but the youth just said: ”Why are you saying that when you're not going out?” Blocked back.

Could it be that she had even lowered the appearance of their Xie Family?

She returned to her room dejectedly. The little maid took out all the clothes that she had bought recently, ”Young Madame, which clothes are you going to wear today?”

Wen Jiu swept his eyes across the blue satin that was reflecting the plum blossoms, and casually said: ”Let's do that.”

”Isn't that too much?” The little maid was a bit conflicted: ”We should dress up better to attend the main branch's birthday banquet. The general said that the Young Madame should dress up …”

Wen Jiu choked.

Originally, she was not someone who paid much attention to her appearance. It was all because her parents had given birth to a pretty good foundation. Ever since the incident with her Changping County, she had always been wearing white clothes.

Hearing Xie Heng's words today, she had suddenly been struck a little hard.

After all, there was not a single Xie Family with an ordinary appearance.

”That one.”

Wen Jiu clenched his teeth: ”We're not going to the selection again.”

The little maid was still unwilling to give up. ”The madams and mistresses of other families all dress up very grandly for this banquet.”

Wen Jiu glanced at the little servant. Ever since that day at the teahouse, when the little maid came out to stop her, she had said a few more caring words. The little maid had become a lot more intimate with her.

She thought: The whole house is a mess of informants, about one or two ordinary people.

Wen Jiu raised his eyes. ”How about you dress up properly?”

The little servant girl pursed her lips: ”Jin Er doesn't dare.”

”Enough.”

Wen Jiu changed clothes, combed her hair into a bun, and wiped her hair with her foot.

She only brought Jin Er alone, and after walking through the long corridor, she saw Xie Heng and Butler Wang waiting in front of the courtyard. The two of them did not know what to say, but Xie Heng seemed to be in a good mood.

Wen Jiu called out in a low voice, ”Elder brother.”
