Chapter 1029 It's Like Looking at a Dirty Thing
Long Yang's beating words not only frightened Li Wei, but the other courtiers also fell silent.
The courtier who had bet on Li Tonger before, saw Li Wei's fate, and broke out in a cold sweat on the spot.
He also thought that Li Tong'er might really be able to catch the eyes of the emperor.
Now it seems that it was a big mistake.
On this day, Li Tong'er went to the banquet with Mrs. Li as usual, not knowing what happened in the court at all.
Today is a banquet hosted by Mrs. Gao, and the place is in Gao's courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing.
Mrs. Gao's other courtyard planted a lot of precious and rare flowers. It is said that it took a lot of money and a lot of thought to buy them, and they were carefully cultivated by flower farmers every day.
These days the weather is getting warmer and the flowers are blooming, so we set up this flower viewing feast and invite my wife and young lady to come and enjoy the flowers.
Li Tong'er has been in the limelight these few days, and she is used to being surrounded by people whenever she goes to a place, thinking that she can get the same treatment today.
As soon as you step into the gate of Gao's house, you are ready to be surrounded by the lady.
But today, since she stepped into the gate of the courtyard, everyone looked at her strangely, as if they were looking at something dirty, which made Li Tong'er very uncomfortable.
"How dare she come?"
"That is, if you have that dirty disease, aren't you afraid of infecting others?"
"If I had known she would come, I would not have come today."
"It's true, Mrs. Gao, it's really unlucky to invite such a person."
...
Everyone didn't lower their voices, so what they said was passed into the ears of Mrs. Li's mother and daughter verbatim.
After understanding the meaning hidden in everyone's words, both mother and daughter turned pale with anger.
Li Tong'er tightened the handkerchief in her hand. She already looked very weak, but now she looked even more pitiful.
Mrs. Li was so angry that she wanted to rush up and tear their mouths open, but Li Tonger still had some sense, so she quickly stopped her, "Mother, don't be angry, this is Mrs. Gao's territory. Mrs. Gao will be unhappy if people argue."
Mrs. Gao's husband is a general, and he can still talk in court, so after receiving Mrs. Gao's post, Li Tonger came to the banquet very actively.
Mrs. Li knows this is the truth, but listen to what those bad-mouthed people are saying?
Ouch, she was so mad at her!
Li Tong'er supported her arm, patted her comfortingly, and then raised her voice a little higher, "The clear will be clear, and the turbid will be turbid! Mother, we are not afraid of crooked shadows."
Her voice was not low, she said it to those people on purpose.
The voices of the ladies and ladies who were pointing not far away fell silent for a moment, but soon began to whisper again.
And the voice became louder, and the tone was unabashedly contemptuous and disgusting.
"No, I won't be able to eat under the same roof with such a person. I'll go first."
"Let's go together."
"Go, stay a little longer, I will feel uncomfortable all over."
Soon, the young girls who had gathered in one place to enjoy the flowers all left.
In such a large courtyard, there are only some older ladies left.
Relying on their status, they didn't want to embarrass their master, so they reserved and didn't run away, but they looked at Mrs. Li's mother and daughter with undisguised contempt.
When Mrs. Gao heard the news and rushed out, she had almost left.
She did not expect that such a cold and cold situation would come to a flower viewing feast.
"What the hell is going on, why did they all leave?" Mrs. Gao was very angry, her face was very ugly, and she said directly, "I won't invite them next time, it's not polite at all."
A lady who was still in the yard leaned over and whispered something in her ear.
Li Tong'er clearly saw the change in Mrs. Gao's face, and was even more surprised than when she learned that the guest had escaped just now.
Li Tonger frowned.
Sure enough, Mrs. Gao looked over immediately, with scrutiny and scrutiny.
Li Tong'er couldn't be dumb anymore, she took a few steps forward, wanting to explain, but Madam Gao avoided her like a beast, and stepped back a few steps in a gaffe.
"Don't come near me." Mrs. Gao's voice changed.
