Chapter 4418: Strike First to Gain the Upper Hand

At the top of the moon, Chu Mansion's birthday banquet has officially begun.

Tonight's birthday banquet was set up with more than 300 tables and thousands of people in total. It was very lively.

After Ye Lingyue and Xiyun separated, the birthday party began.

"Ling Yue, come here and sit next to Ah Mu."

Mrs. Chu's mood was not affected by the day. Her face was full of smiles and she motioned for Ye Lingyue to sit on her right hand.

I don’t know if Old Mrs. Chu deliberately arranged it, but Ye Lingyue, who always had a humble status in Chu Mansion, actually sat with Chu Mu, Old Mrs. Chu, Chu Qin and others.

This table can be said to be the old lady's most favored descendants and most distinguished guests.

Prince Cangmang and Princess Fengfei, who had not shown up earlier, also came.

When Ye Lingyue arrived, there were only two places left on the table.

Behind him, a resentful look looked over.

From the corner of her eye, Ye Lingyue caught a glimpse of Ji Linlang sitting on a table not far away.

Ji Linlang hated Ye Lingyue from the bottom of her heart. Originally, that should be her position.

The old lady must have been annoyed by what happened to Young Master Zhao earlier, so she changed seats, which really gave that bitch Ye Lingyue an advantage.

When Ji Linlang thought of this, his teeth itched with hatred.

Little did she know that instead of making Chu Mu fall head over heels for her, Gou Hun Ming would actually cause such a big scandal.

Fortunately, the power of the Soul Inscription has been eliminated.

Ye Lingyue glanced at Mrs. Chu, who was smiling, and hesitated for a moment.

At this moment, he saw Di Xin walking over. He didn't ask any questions and sat down next to Chu Mu.

Chu Mu was stunned.

Prince Cangmang and Princess Fengfei were also stunned, and more than a dozen pairs of eyes on the table looked at Di Xin.

"Miss Lingyue, please sit next to me."

Xiyun smiled,

She also sat down at the main table, and there was an empty seat next to her.

Ye Lingyue looked at Di Xin, only to see Di Xin glance at her, with a hint of naughtiness flashing in his eyes.

Ye Lingyue didn't know what Di Xin meant.

Did he recognize her or not?

If he recognized her, why did he look at her with such cold eyes earlier?

If he didn't recognize it, why did he help him two or three times?

Ye Lingyue was about to sit down with full of questions.

"Wait a minute, Ye Lingyue, you have lived in the Chu Mansion for many days. As a junior in the Chu Mansion, it is such a big event for the old lady's birthday. Don't you even have a gift?"

Chu Qinshi mocked.

Almost everyone who came to the birthday banquet tonight was given a gift.

Even the servants of the Chu Mansion raised money to build a golden statue for the old lady. Only Ye Lingyue was left empty-handed, which was simply unreasonable.

"Madam, you are right. I almost forgot about it. I have already prepared the old lady's gift."

After Ye Lingyue said that, he took out a box and presented it.

"Ling Yue is one of our own, why are you being so polite? Lao Sheng is so old and has everything he should have. You just remember to come and talk to Lao Sheng more often."

Mrs. Chu smiled.

Ye Lingyue's life in Chu Mansion was not easy.

I was also indifferent to her. Her monthly salary was not much, and the gifts she prepared were not too expensive.

"Old lady, I don't know what gift Miss Ye has prepared for you. Why don't we all take a look at it together to gain some insight?"

Princess Fengfei took a look at Ji Linlang and said.

"this……"

The old lady pondered for a moment.

On the other side, Mrs. Chu Qin had already taken the box and opened it.

But there was only a small wooden sword in the box.

The wooden sword is only half the length of an arm, and it is not a precious spiritual wood.

There are several crooked inscriptions carved on the wooden sword. At first glance, it looks like a trick played by children.

"Ye Lingyue, this is your birthday gift. You are so brave, you dare to give any junk to the old lady."

Mrs. Chu Qin slammed the box on the table with a bang. Her face was ugly and she was very dissatisfied.

Chu Mu looked at the sword and had a displeased look on his face.

"Could this wooden sword be..."

Mrs. Chu's expression changed drastically and she picked up the wooden sword.

"This sword is the first inscription made by my ancestor Ye Min after he became an inscription master. I think the old lady must also recognize this sword."

Ye Lingyue smiled and said.

The wooden sword was discovered in Ye Min's notebook.

According to the records in Ye Min's handbook, after she became an engraver, she carved two wooden swords.

Keep one for yourself, and give the other to Mrs. Chu.

At that time, the two of them were still unknown people, and they were as close to each other as sisters.

Ye Lingyue carved the wooden sword based on the manuscript and engraved some inscriptions.

As expected, Mrs. Chu was deeply moved when she saw the sword queen.

In this way, Ye Lingyue can successfully implement the next plan.

"I understand, I understand. Back then, Ye Min and I once said that we would carry two wooden swords with us for thirty-three days. The swords are there, and the people are there. It's a pity..."

The old lady touched the wooden sword and burst into tears.

The sword is still there, but the person is long gone.

"This is the most satisfying gift I have ever received. Ling Yue, you are also thoughtful."

The old lady also knew that she had lost her composure. She put away her sword, her face still full of regret.

For a strong person like Mrs. Chu, fame and fortune are no longer external possessions, but what she cares about most is the memory of the past.

She and Ye Min met when they were poor.

Many years later, Mrs. Chu has become famous.

But she also lost a lot.

She was surrounded by people who had often flattered her, but no one was willing to starve with her and spent days and nights polishing the lowest inscription weapon for herself.

Mrs. Chu Qin looked embarrassed.

She also didn't expect that a broken wooden sword had such a deep origin.

But this damn girl Ye Lingyue is much smarter than she expected, and she also knows how to attack the heart.

Looking at the old lady's appearance, she wished she could get married to Ah Mu right away.

For Ah Mu, she must strike first.

After Ye Lingyue sent the congratulatory gifts, other juniors in the Chu Mansion also sent congratulatory gifts one after another.

The old lady also accepted them all with a smile.

"Taijun, there is something that Qin has to mention."

After drinking for three rounds, I saw Mrs. Chu Qin standing up.

Mrs. Chu has lived for more than 10,000 years, and the juniors in the Chu family have already passed a hundred generations. Except for her children's generation, the generations after her all claim their surnames in front of her.

"Ms. Qin, what's the matter with you? Just say you're defenseless."

The old lady drank a few glasses of wine, and her face looked a little drunk.

"In the past few days, there have been incidents in the inner courtyard one after another. Mrs. Qin thinks that it needs to be rectified to prevent similar incidents from happening again in the future."

What Chu Qin said was the death of the housekeeper and the death of Zhou Xiong that happened earlier.

Even though Mrs. Chu ordered that this matter not be spread out, people in the Chu Mansion were still panicked and very uneasy. 2k Reading Network) Book lovers, please pay attention!
