Chapter 1070: Coming of Age Banquet (1)

On the eve of the coming-of-age ceremony.

Lord Guan dragged his body back to the manor in exhaustion.

The wife and daughter in the manor were already anxiously pacing back and forth. Seeing Lord Guan return to the manor, Madam Xiao hurriedly asked:”Did Your Majesty agree?”

“Why did you come back so late? Yingying was waiting anxiously. It’s not like you don’t know how good our young lady is. If His Majesty doesn’t meet her, how will he know that she’s good? As a father, you have to take care of Shangxin.”

Madam Xiao’s voice hadn’t faded when she saw Lord Guan’s dark face.

Guan Yingying’s heart skipped a beat, and she asked carefully, “”Father, you don’t have to be like this. I can’t make things difficult for you.” She was about to cry.

Only then did Lord Guan’s anger subside.

“Alright, don’t say this in the future. His Majesty is busy with state affairs. How could he have the time to attend a woman’s coming-of-age ceremony? It means that you value me…We are still subjects.”

” Madam, ” the servant behind her said, ” Master was punished by His Majesty to kneel. He knelt in the palace until the palace gates were closed. ”

“My legs are swollen.”

Madam Xiao was stunned.

Guan Yingying’s tears rolled down her face as she knelt on the ground apologetically.

“It’s all your daughter’s fault for dragging you down. You mustn’t be like this in the future. This is poking my daughter’s heart.”

Lord Guan’s last bit of resentment also dissipated.

” It’s fine if His Majesty doesn’t come. Tomorrow, our Yingying will definitely be the most beautiful girl in the city. ” Madam Xiao looked at Old Master and knew that she had implicated her husband this time. They were just waiting to coax her at night.

….

The next morning.

Firecrackers were lit at the entrance of the Guan and Jiang families.

Crackling sounds could be heard.

Madam Xia wore a brand new set of clothes and personally waited in Lulu’s room. Then, the whole family had breakfast.

Jiang Huaian had taken a day off early.

His Majesty was particularly happy to grant him this favor.

“Our young lady has grown up.” Madam Xia was extremely gratified. Knowing that today was her birthday, the entire family had prepared congratulatory gifts for her.

It was calm and warm.

It was not until the sun rose that it gradually brought with it some heat.

Madam Xia’s heart sank slightly.

The Jiang family and the Guan family were only one street apart. At this moment, even standing at the door, they could hear the noise coming from the neighboring street. It was also mixed with the compliments of the various manors.

The Jiang family’s front door was cold and indifferent.

Many commoners came forward to congratulate him.

“Is it Miss Jiang’s birthday today? I came from outside the Great Zhou. It was Miss Jiang’s disaster relief shed along the way that brought our family back to life. Although he knew that Miss Jiang didn’t care about these things, he dared to kowtow to her at the door today. I hope you can live a long life.” A woman in ragged clothes held her child’s hand and kowtowed at the door.

There were also white-haired old men and shabbily dressed students.

For a moment, there were many people blocking the entrance of the Jiang family’s house.

Even if they kowtowed and left, the endless stream of people almost filled the street.

When the neighboring Guan family heard this, they curled their lips. However, there were many guests today and they could not divert their attention to anything else.

Soon, it was noon.

Carriages were parked at the entrance of the Guan residence.

There were only a few carriages at the entrance of the Jiang family’s house. There were many commoners, and the commoners were sincerely grateful and gave their blessings.

Guan Yingying looked at the guests and heard the compliments and praises of the ladies.

Like a fish in water.

What was Jiang Huailu doing across the street? He must be jealous, right?

Just as he was thinking.

The gatekeeper who was waiting at the door stumbled in.

The group of women frowned in shock.
