Chapter 1803: Chapter 1803: No Stage Fright (5)
âWhen the time comes, we can laugh at each other, and no one will suffer any loss.â A woman in a purple dress next to Ju Wan also had a smile on her face, âI just like watching the excitement.â
âShuyi, donât be so proud either. Youâre a year older than me, so I will naturally rank behind you.â Jiang Fangfei snorted, then set her gaze on the woman in the yellow dress behind her, âAnd this isâŠâ
âIâve met the county mistress.â The woman in the yellow dress quickly stepped forward to salute, and before the woman in the purple dress could introduce her, she introduced herself, âMy name is Peng Jing, granddaughter of General Peng Pai who died in Jin CityâŠâ
Yang Ruxinâs brows immediately furrowed. Why did this girl talk about her familyâs martyrdom with such glee?
Of course, these are private matters, and she had no right to comment.
However, this Peng Jing was definitely on her blacklist.
She hadnât met Peng Jing before when she went to the border, but she had long heard of her name. Back then, Gu Qingheng and the others nearly died in the desert saving her. And, of course, thatâs not all; she had heard this woman had confessed to her own man.
It was unexpected to meet her here.
But what was Peng Jingâs relationship with Duke Anguo? It made her realize once again her information networkâs incompleteness.
âSo this is Miss Peng.â Jiang Fangfeiâs brows furrowed slightly too but she still nodded politely. After all, the Peng Family was to be awarded by the Emperor, and it seemed they were also going to ennoble the descendants of the old General Peng, likely after the birthday banquet.
At that moment, the maid Chanchan brought in two more girls, who were Shen Jiayin and her little follower, Zuo Qingqing.
Yang Ruxin examined Shen Jiayin and had to admit, the Shen Family had good looks, and Shen Jiayin was even more outstanding, a few degrees more beautiful than her two aunts. The key was her attire, which was very appropriateâa light pink dress with a simple light pink pearl headdress, making her skin look as smooth as cream, and her cheeks softly radiant.
As for Zuo Qingqing, her features werenât bad; it was just that her skin was a bit darker, somewhat plain. But in Yang Ruxinâs eyes, that skin tone was actually great, the sun-kissed color admired by many in later times. However, what Yang Ruxin couldnât bear to look at was this girl was wearing a peach-red dress, which only made her face look darker.
However, Miss Zuo clearly didnât think it was bad, instead wearing an expression of arrogance.
Upon entering, the two first performed a ceremonial greeting to Jiang Fangfei and Qi Zizi.
âWeâre just among sisters having fun, no need to be so formal?â Jiang Fangfei waved her hand, âThe main thing is Zizi hasnât been back to the capital for two years. This year she returned, and the Empress Dowager intends for her to stay in the capital for a few years. Once everyone is familiar, it will be easier to get along and have chatsâŠâ
Of course, these were just polite words. After all, even if the Caiyun County Mistress stayed in the capital, she wouldnât be residing in the Wang Residence by herself; she would definitely be in the palace. And even if one wanted to be close, not everyone had the qualifications to enter the palace at will.
âSome of you know each other, and some donât. Let me introduce everyone again.â Jiang Fangfei made introductions once more.
Yang Ruxin could clearly feel everyoneâs scrutiny, which she wasnât afraid of since she wasnât stage-shy. However, there were two peculiar gazes she couldnât ignore. So she first gave a slight smile and nod to the inquisitive Shen Jiayin, then raised her eyebrows slightly at Peng Jing, who seemed intent on devouring her.
