Chapter 56 The Birthday Banquet Begins

The two were practicing, but they didn't notice that a figure flashed in the grove not far from the yard.

"Well, I was wondering why she refused to marry into the Wang family, it turns out that she had an affair with her cousin!" Jiang Minghao looked at the scene of the two people practicing together in the yard in the distance with a cold look, and a sneer appeared in his eyes, "If the people of the Wang family knew about this, I guess the scene would be quite exciting, right?"

"However, I won't expose this matter first, wait until the critical moment, then I will expose it and give this pair of dogs a fatal blow!" Jiang Minghao thought proudly, and his figure disappeared in the grove.

...

The next day.

When it was just dawn, the whole Jiang family was decorated with lights and colors, and it was very lively.

Because today is the 70th birthday of the old lady of the Jiang family!

Early in the morning, Su Chen jumped out of the bathtub of the body quenching bath and put on his clothes. If someone was present, they would be able to see that his exposed skin was as smooth as jade, without any flaws, and even looked a little crystal clear under the reflection of the morning light.

"In five days, the body-tempering bath will be completely completed!" Su Chen's eyes were bright, and he was full of confidence.

Pushing the door open, he saw Xu Yin and Jiang Tingyi, mother and daughter, already dressed up and waiting for him outside.

"Xiao Chen, we are ready."

Beside Xu Yin, a servant was holding two boxes, which were obviously filled with the birthday gifts that Xu Yin and Jiang Tingyi were going to present to the old lady of the Jiang family.

Su Chen just took a look and looked away without interest. He did not prepare any birthday gifts for the old lady of the Jiang family. The other party had no relatives or friends with him, and she had never given him a good face in her previous life. Naturally, he would not waste any energy and money on her.

"Xiao Chen, at the birthday banquet later..." Xu Yin took a deep breath, with a bit of nervousness on her face.

"Aunt, don't worry!" Su Chen saw her like this and said, "The quota for Tianyue College should have belonged to my cousin. No one can take it away."

Xu Yin nodded, and the tension on her face was gradually suppressed. She smiled again and nodded, "Let's go!"

The three of them set off and headed for the Jiang family banquet hall.

At this moment, the banquet hall was already decorated with lights and gongs and drums.

The banquet hall was filled with rare and precious furnishings and furniture, which looked magnificent and luxurious.

"The head of the Wang family is here!"

"The head of the Ye family is here!"

"The head of the Zhou family is here!"

"The head of the Situ family is here!"

"Manager Wan of Guibao Tower is here!"

"Master Liu of Tianying Martial Arts Hall is here!"

The housekeeper of the Jiang family, wearing a festive red robe, stood outside the gate of the banquet hall and loudly announced the origins and names of each group of guests.

Today, the Jiang family has earned enough face. The other two heads of the three major families in Qinghe City, the heads of dozens of other martial arts families, and representatives of other forces, nearly a hundred people, all came to attend the birthday banquet of the old lady of the Jiang family.

In normal times, if these people stomped their feet together, the whole Qinghe City would be turned upside down. But now, they gathered together to celebrate the birthday of the old lady of the Jiang family.

"The Jiang family is really generous this time. The birthday banquet is really luxurious. I heard that they booked the banquet in the private room of Zuixianju. Zuixianju will send someone to deliver the banquet in person."

"Not only that, it seems that they also invited the official alchemist of the Alchemy Association to attend the birthday banquet. You should know that the official alchemist is respected and usually disdains to attend these banquets."

"Hey, you don't know, these are nothing. Today's birthday banquet will also have teachers from Tianyue College attending. They are distinguished guests from the imperial capital."

"The Jiang family is really proud this time."

When Su Chen and his party approached the banquet hall, they heard such discussions.

The banquet hall is now crowded and joyful.

In the middle of the banquet hall, a platform with flowers and brocade was built. A purple gold wood chair was firmly placed on the platform. On it sat the birthday star today, the old lady of the Jiang family.

The old lady of the Jiang family was wearing a bright red phoenix crown and colorful clothes. She sat on the chair steadily. Her black hair was piled high. There were only a few wrinkles on her face. She was well maintained. From a distance, she didn't look like a 70-year-old birthday star, but a noble lady in her 40s.

Speaking of the old lady of the Jiang family, she was also a legend. In the past, she was just a small concubine of the Wang family. After marrying the old master of the Jiang family, the old master of the Jiang family stood out in the fierce competition and inherited the position of the master of the Jiang family. The old lady of the Jiang family also rose with the tide and became the wife of the master of the family.

Now, she has many children and grandchildren, and she is an old lady, enjoying wealth and glory.

At this time, Jiang Mingxuan and Jiang Minghao were on each side, accompanying the old lady of Jiang. From time to time, they said something to make fun of her, making the old lady of Jiang laugh.

Jiang Shan and Jiang He stood aside, greeting the guests with red faces.

"Second Madam, Miss Tingyi, Young Master Su Chen is here!"

With this loud announcement, the smiles on the faces of Jiang Shan and his son, and Jiang He and his son froze.

The name Su Chen sounded extremely harsh to their ears, making them feel uncomfortable.

And Mrs. Jiang, who was smiling just now, suddenly stopped smiling and her face turned cold.

As everyone knows, Mrs. Jiang has always disliked her two sons who are not her own, Jiang Hai and Jiang Feng. She also disliked Jiang Hai's wife and daughter.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became subtle.

Xu Yin was used to it, and her expression didn't change at all. She walked to the front of the stage, knelt down to Madam Jiang steadily, and said, "I, your daughter-in-law, wish you happiness as vast as the East Sea and longevity as great as the South Mountain."

Madam Jiang said "hmm" casually, frowned with some disgust, and waved her hand like she was shooing away a fly: "Go and sit down!"

Jiang He laughed at the side: "Minghao, why don't you take your second aunt and cousin to take a seat?"

Jiang Minghao walked down from the stage lazily, rolled his eyes, and said, "Come with me!"

Jiang Minghao first arranged Xu Yin at the table of the elders of the Jiang family, and then took Jiang Tingyi and Su Chen to the table of the younger generation.

"Who is this cousin Su Chen?"

"I don't know, maybe he's a relative of the Jiang family."

"Shh, I heard that Su Chen has excellent martial arts talent and defeated Jiang Minghao and Jiang Mingxuan, two direct descendants of the Jiang family!"

"I heard that Su Chen is very talented in alchemy and is also praised by Master Qian Dan."

Jiang Minghao listened to the whispers of the crowd along the way, and his face became more and more ugly. He pointed at the two empty seats at the junior table and said to Su Chen and Jiang Tingyi: "That's where you two are!"

The two empty seats were in the middle of a group of Wang family children.

Among them, Wang Teng and others were also there.
