Chapter 880: Chapter 879

“Let her go. It seems that the Xin Family can’t stand it anymore. So, it’s them who can’t hold their temper anymore.”

Xin Mu had only invited Xiaoyu before, but Xiaoyu did not bring Ningqiu with him except for the first party.

Lin Mengya knew that many people put their eyes on Ningqiu’s yard, trying to find out her real identity and purpose.

However, Xiaoyu and Lin Mengya had completely blocked Ningqiu’s courtyard.

Not to mention the Xin Family, even a fly couldn’t do it.

Therefore, although the news was everywhere, no one could tell whether it was true or false if the person involved didn’t prove it.

In this way or in that case, Mrs. Xin’s banquet was important.

As Ningqiu’s ‘maid’, Lin Mengya naturally had to follow her.

However, when the four of them appeared at Mrs. Xin’s banquet together, they instantly stole the limelight of the host.

Many people had witnessed Ningqiu’s beauty when the venomous insects broke out.

They only thought that the beautiful girl was elegant and noble, which made people feel that she was so charming and amazing.

There was a girl in a white dress coming from a distance.

Her graceful figure was as cold and elegant as the moonlight, and no one dared to think too much of her.

It seemed that any dirty idea might blaspheme her who was just as beautiful and noble as the Goddess of the Moon.

Although the three people behind her were extremely respectful with their heads lowered, one of them was charming, the other was beautiful and cold, and the last one was so romantic that people could not tell his gender.

This was the one who could subdue the Icy Jade Venomous Cicada, even her maids and guards were all beauties.

Now, the people present were more inclined to believe that she was the princess.

After all, only a princess would receive such treatment.

Such peerless beauties could only be used as maids or guards.

If it wasn’t for the royal family, how could they be so generous?

Surrounded by them, Ningqiu became more and more noble and mysterious.

“Thank you for your coming, Miss. Please take a seat.”

Mrs. Xin, who had always been arrogant, took the initiative to come forward and welcome them. It could be seen that she attached great importance to Miss Ningqiu.

Lin Mengya, who was standing behind Ningqiu, quickly glanced at Mrs. Xin.

Although she looked to be in her forties, there was no trace of age on her well-maintained face.

However, Lin Mengya could tell that she was very smart from her eyes.

Perhaps Xin Mu wanted to confirm Ningqiu’s identity in the end, so he asked his wife to take action.

Otherwise, how could this madam be so enthusiastic about a girl of unknown identity?

Such a good wife! She was afraid that today’s test would not be easy.

“Thank you for your kindness, Madam.”

Ningqiu replied lightly. In the palace, she had seen many high-ranking people.

In the past, she could only stand by Madame Jingrou’s side and serve her. But now, she had become a guest.

Fortunately, she overcame the uncomfortable feeling quickly.

After all, no matter how grand the Xin Family’s banquet was, it would only be worse than the ones in the royal palace.

She had been so generous and tactful which made people feel that everything was just the most common for her.

Mrs. Xin’s eyes became deeper and deeper, and her tone became more and more amiable.

“Miss, you are the friend of the Ninth Prince which means you are also the most distinguished guest of our family. Anyway, Madame Jingrou is also a member of the Xin Family, and this is also the house of the Ninth Prince’s maternal grandfather. I’m sorry for taking you for granted these days. Please forgive us.”

When Ningqiuheard the Ninth Prince, her face changed a little.

But soon, her face turned normal.

But the pride on her face could not be hidden from anyone.

It seemed that she was really the elder sister of the Ninth Prince. She was very happy because others praised her younger brother.

“You’re too kind, Madam. I wouldn’t do that.”

Standing beside Ningqiu, Lin Mengya carefully witnessed the performance of the two people.

In her heart, however, she admired the foresight of Madame Jingrou.

If this role was played by someone else, she would soon be exposed.

Ningqiu was raised by Madame, so she knew everything about her.

In her heart, there was only one outstanding woman who was Madame Jingrou, so she unconsciously imitated Madame Jingrou from time to time.

For example, she would mime Madam’s smiles and behaviors. All these had become habits to her. Gradually, Madame Jingrou’s manners also became hers.

In this way, although she didn’t look like Madam, her temperament was quite similar to hers.

In addition, Qinghu had deliberately trained her for the past ten days. It was likely that Ningqiu would be able to fool everyone.

“Stay here and watch. I’ll bring the lady a cup of tea.”

Lin Mengya lowered her eyes and deliberately whispered to Baisu who was beside her.

The latter just nodded, but Lin Mengya could hear footsteps leaving behind her.

Her voice was not loud just now, but it was enough for several people around to hear clearly.

This was not a big deal. After all, every master had their own habits.

But right here, the rest of the servants were Madam Xin’s servants except them.

In that case, it was easy to know who just left.

Lin Mengya walked out of the crowd briskly. After asking about the direction of the kitchen, she went straight there.

But after a few steps, a voice came from behind.

“Please wait for a moment, Miss.”

“It’s coming!”

Lin Mengya stopped quietly and pretended to look back innocently.

It was a maid in an orange dress looking at her with a playful smile.

“Excuse me, Miss, are you calling me?”

The other party nodded politely and held her hand warmly.

“Miss? I’m just a maid here. I didn’t see you before. Is this the first time for you to come to our house?”

The girl smiled sweetly, but Lin Mengya could tell at a glance that she was a tough character to deal with.

With such an innocent face, coupled with her sweet voice, it was likely that most people would not be wary of her.

However, anyone who pretended to be innocent was the most scheming one.

“Her madam is testing Ningqiu over there. Is this little girl playing tricks on me?

“It seems that she really has some tricks up her sleeve.”

“Yes, it’s my first time to come to your mansion. Miss, do you have any orders for me?”

Lin Mengya pretended to be a little distant and cautious. If she showed her fear too quickly, others might think that she did it on purpose.

Inevitably, the little girl looked at her with a smile and then shook her head.

“No, I didn’t, but I can help you. I just heard that you were looking for the kitchen. I’m going there, too. Why don’t we go together?”

Lin Mengya hesitated for a moment before nodding slowly.

“Alright, thank you very much, young lady!”

The girl told her a lot along the way.

Lin Mengya also knew that her name was Yunque, a maid serving in the Xin Family’s courtyard.

Although Yunque tried to be miserable, Lin Mengya still believed more and more that she was sent by Mrs. Xin to elicit some information from her.

If she was really the humblest maid in the house, how could she go with her?

When the Xin Family held a banquet, most people were extremely busy.

She would never have time to take a look at her, not to mention chatting with her.

And this little girl was not only very idle, but also knew this place quite well.

Lin Mengya knew what Yunque was doing was let her guard down so that she could get the information from her.

Now, it was best for her to be more alert.

Otherwise, it would not suit her position, wouldn’t it?

“The kitchen is right in front of us. The chefs in our mansion are definitely not as good as those in the palace.”

Yunque seemed to mention it inadvertently, and Lin Mengya also pretend not to have heard the test in her words.

She nodded and said, “That’s true, but the Xin Family is much more magnificent than ordinary families.”

There was a flash of pride in the Yunque’s eyes.

Lin Mengya, on the other hand, seemed to have come to her senses.

Feeling a little uneasy, she looked around.

“Miss Helan, what’s wrong?”

With a pair of big watery eyes, Yunque pretended to be naive.

Lin Mengya hemmed and hawed for a long time and did not reveal any other information.

However, Yunque did not show any surprise. Instead, she led her into a small room next to the kitchen.

The Xin Family’s kitchen was in a big courtyard. There was not only delicious food but also various kinds of tea and wine.

After Yunque figured out Lin Mengya’s purpose, she took her to the place where servants could prepare tea for these distinguished guests.

As soon as they entered the room, they saw a very delicate row of charcoal stoves.

On them, there were several red teapots, which were used for boiling water.

Behind the stoves was a row of wooden tea cabinets.

There was a small bronze lock on each cabinet with the name of the tea carved on it.

Opposite the small stoves was a cabinet of tea sets.

However, because of today’s banquet, the cabinet had been emptied a lot.

Lin Mengya took a few glances and saw the whole situation.

It seemed that there was another meaning behind Yunque who followed her into this room.

Fortunately, she had already played all the tricks of the nobles quite well.

These things were not difficult for her.

“Miss Helan, this is our tea room. What kind of tea do you want? I can help you find it.”

Yunque waved her hand, looking cute and obedient.

But Lin Mengya did not go to find tea first. Instead, she frowned and looked at the water on the stove.

“Is this water the well water or the spring water? And the charcoal used to boil the water, it smelled like fruit charcoal, not silver charcoal?”
