Xiaoru coldly shook off her hand and said with a straight face:
"This slave is just here to tell the Queen the Queen's words. Madam asks, do you not believe what the slave says? Do you suspect that the slave is telling lies, or do you suspect that the Queen is telling lies?"
When did this damn girl become so sharp-tongued
Mrs. Lin's face turned red at the irony, and she was secretly annoyed in her heart, but her smile remained unchanged, with a hint of humility.
"Miss Xiaoru is the closest person to the Queen. How could she tell lies? I would never dare to doubt the Queen's words. I am just too happy. May I ask, Miss Xiaoru, what does the Queen want to eat?" Do you have any favorite dishes?”
It's exactly what the eldest lady said.
The more straight-faced he was, the sweeter Lin's smile became.
Thinking of Mrs. Lin's cold, arrogant and contemptuous face in the past, and then seeing Mrs. Lin's smile turned into a flower in front of her, Xiaoru turned away in disgust.
She was afraid that if she looked at it one more time, she would spit it out.
"The eldest lady likes to eat, but Madam doesn't care about it?"
She said coldly and sarcastically, turned around and left, not wanting to stay for a moment longer, let alone seeing Mrs. Lin's face that made her sick.
Seeing Xiao Ru's leaving figure, the attentive smile on Mrs. Lin's face slowly disappeared, replaced by a gloomy sneer.
"Hmph, you stinky girl, you just followed a crow and thought you had turned into a phoenix. How dare you put on such a stinky airs in front of me? It won't be long before you two, master and servant, will be thrown away like plucked chickens. on the street!"
Turning around, she summoned her maids and asked them to prepare wine and food.
Although it was said that Shen Ning wanted to treat her to dinner, she was now in the Shen Mansion, and if the Queen could pay for it, she, the Protector of the Country, would naturally bear the responsibility.
This banquet must not only be sumptuous, but also expensive, in order to show the status of the Queen.
Mrs. Lin took out a large sum of money and made sure to make the banquet grand and honorable.
That night, Mrs. Lin arranged a banquet in the main hall, and then went to invite Shen Ning in person.
This time, Shen Ning didn't make things too difficult for her. She just asked her to perform the courtesy of a monarch and a minister according to the rules and then raised her hand to let her get up. This made Mrs. Lin quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
She had been secretly observing Shen Ning's face, and found that Shen Ning seemed to have resentment towards her, her expression was light, and her heart was in her stomach.
This is the right expression.
If Shen Ning smiled at her like before, she would feel uneasy and wonder if this girl had some conspiracy in her belly.
The banquet was filled with delicacies, the aroma was fragrant, and the display was dazzling. It was obvious at a glance that Lin had spent a lot of money.
However, although the dishes were sumptuous, only Shen Ning and Lin were sitting at the table.
Lin was sitting next to the Prime Minister, looking respectful and attentive, while Shen Ning looked aloof.
Although Leng Yunxiao was a housekeeper, he could only stand outside and watch. When he saw this scene, a dark light flashed in his eyes, and then he lowered his head, his eyes flickering, not knowing what he was planning.
Xiao Ru stayed behind Shen Ning. No matter what food Lin brought to Shen Ning, she would take a bite first, obviously because she was worried that the food and wine were poisonous.
It's just that she doesn't know how to drink. Even though she only took a few sips, her face was filled with peach blossoms, her heartbeat was racing, and her eyes were full of drunkenness.
Shen Ning looked back at her.
"You're drunk, go down and sleep."
