Chapter 284 Are you fake?
Shen Yi held his stomach, pointed at the teacup with trembling fingers, and said weakly: "Miss, it's not that serious, is it? Even if I played a trick on you before, General Zhou and this lady were also involved. Why did you only poison me?"
An Ning looked innocent and shrugged, indicating that it didn't matter.
She chuckled and said, "I did poison them, but they didn't drink it, who can I blame?"
When Shen Yi heard this, he almost fainted.
He endured the pain in his abdomen and managed to stay awake, then said to Zhou Heng: "General Zhou, I really can't bear it anymore..."
Before he could finish his words, Shen Yi fell to the ground with a pale face.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Heng rubbed his forehead helplessly, and then shouted to the outside of the door: "Someone come."
When Shen Yi finally left, he swayed left and right, completely losing the youthful vigor he had shown, and looking like an eggplant hit by frost.
He looked at An Ning with a smug look on her face and dared not say anything, secretly groaning in his heart.
It is said that women have the most vicious hearts, and it seems to be true today. I have brought shame to the Shen family this time. How can I survive in Tongzhou City in the future?
Thinking of this, Shen Yi said goodbye to Zhou Heng again, and then walked out of the secret passage in the mansion in shame.
Three days later, An Ning and Qi Wuyou dressed up to attend Princess Yu's birthday banquet.
Both of them were dressed in gorgeous clothes and wore exquisite jewelry, like two shining pearls, radiant and dazzling.
However, just as they reached the door, they were stopped by two gatekeepers.
The two servants looked at people with their noses down, their chins held high, and their eyes were full of disdain and contempt.
One of the servants sneered, "Where did this upstart come from? Is Prince Yu's Mansion a place you can come to?"
It is not appropriate to curse today. An Ning and Qi Wuyou looked at each other and ignored their provocation.
They took out an invitation calmly from their arms and handed it to the gatekeeper.
The doorman took the invitation, took a closer look, and his expression suddenly changed.
There was a gold-plated pattern printed on the invitation, and the handwriting on it was very familiar, with flying dragons and phoenixes. If they were not mistaken, the invitation must have been written by the prince himself.
The servants' attitudes suddenly changed 180 degrees and they all nodded and bowed hurriedly.
When the servant spoke, he no longer looked down on her, but instead smiled: "So you are Miss Yu. I'm sorry that I didn't recognize you. Please come in, please come in!"
As he said this, he moved aside and invited them in with a smile.
An Ning snorted coldly, waved her hand gently, and gestured behind her.
I saw a group of servants holding gifts and proudly walked in.
She was followed by a group of servants, holding various exquisite gifts in their hands.
An Ning waved her hand, signaling the servants who were carrying the gifts behind her to follow.
The leader was naturally the secret guards brought by Xuan Yelan. They moved in unison and shouted in a loud voice: "Miss Yu, we present you with a jadeite ruyi inlaid with gold."
As the red cloth on the tray was lifted, a huge jade ruyi appeared before everyone.
The jade ruyi was emerald green all over, crystal clear, inlaid with gold threads and gems, shining with gorgeous light.
Its handle and head are carved extremely finely with smooth lines, and it is obvious that they were made by a master.
This jade ruyi was specially selected by Qi Wuyou. It is both precious and in line with their current status as the richest woman.
Then, there was another shout: "A pair of inlaid silk and white brocade sachets, a red gold Hehe Ruyi hairpin, a pair of red gold wrapped pearl pendants, a double-ear concentric white jade lotus pendant, a gold filigree inlaid gemstone double phoenix and kingfisher feather hairpin..."
This long list of gifts made everyone drop their jaws, after all, these things were very valuable!
The noise here was a bit louder, and it startled Princess Yu and the concubine who were waiting in the house. After looking at each other, they got up and ran to the yard to see what was going on.
As soon as I went out, I saw a group of people who looked like servants piling various precious gifts at the door of the house.
After the gift list was finished, An Ning raised her hand to straighten her sleeves, then bowed to Princess Yu with Qi Wuyou, "White clouds appear in the snow, and the day of wealth has come. May blessings and fortune come quickly, and may good luck and happiness last forever. An Ning and my little sister wish Her Highness the Princess a happy birthday."
A look of confusion flashed across Princess Yu's face, and it was obvious that she had no idea who the two women in front of her were.
Qi Wuyou raised his eyebrows and thought to himself: It seems that the person who wrote the invitation to me and An Ning was indeed Prince Yu’s old man, not Prince Yu’s wife.
But after all, it was her birthday party, and Princess Yu couldn't just chase them away, so she waved her hand and said something polite: "In that case, I will accept this gift. Please invite the two young ladies into the mansion."
After saying that, she turned to look at the servants behind her, motioning them to take the gift from Qi Wuyou's hands.
Upon seeing this, the people from the Jade Mansion hurried forward and handed the Jade Ruyi and other things to the people from Prince Yu's Mansion.
On the other side, the maid beside Princess Yu came over and led Qi Wuyou and An Ning.
Qi Wuyou and An Ning walked into Prince Yu's Mansion with their heads held high and their chests puffed out amid the envious and jealous eyes of the crowd.
Princess Yu was the daughter of Mr. He, the prefect of Tongzhou, and her name was He Yuehuan.
Concubine Wang Min was the daughter of General Shen’s deputy general Wang Tao.
The two of them have been with Xuan Yemin for two years and have some understanding of him.
I heard that the Yu family is as wealthy as a country, and the eldest daughter of the Yu family is the heir appointed by the head of the family, and will inherit the huge family business of the Yu family in the future.
In addition, the invitation handed over by Miss Yu was obviously written by Xuan Yemin himself.
Therefore, after a quick discussion in their minds, the two of them guessed what Xuan Yemin was up to.
He Yuehuan pursed her lips, but still felt a little reluctant in her heart. When no one was paying attention, she gently pulled An Ning's sleeve and took her aside.
She lowered her voice and advised sincerely: "Miss Yu, the situation today is special. It is really not appropriate for you to stay here for long. It is better to leave as soon as possible."
An Ning was slightly startled, but soon a smile appeared on her face, and she responded softly: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness, but An Ning must come today."
He Yuehuan was very smart. Seeing An Ning so determined, she began to have some guesses in her mind.
She carefully leaned close to An Ning's ear and whispered, "Could it be... that you are fake?"
When these words came out, An Ning couldn't help but be stunned.
She wondered whether she was real or fake.
In Tongzhou, it is true that she is the eldest daughter of the Yu family;
However, the so-called richest family, the Yu family, was fake in the first place. It was just a cover-up that Li Han had specially made up to facilitate the management of Qi Wuyou's industry.
An Ning hesitated for a moment, nodded, and then shook her head.
This action confused He Yuehuan, and she had no idea what she meant.
