Chapter 183 The Difference Between The Real And The Fake

"Yuru, you and Miss Qi may go, Wanru doesn't want to go. Let her stay with me!" Shui Ruolan smiled and said.

Qin Yuru heaved a deep sigh of relief, because she was really afraid that Shui Ruolan would make her stay. If so, that would be terrible. It was not easy to get such an opportunity to show off, and she could not afford to waste it.

She felt happy, but deliberately showed some unwillingness on her face. After a moment of hesitation, she said meekly, "Yes!"

Today, Qi Rongzhi's manners were quite faultless. Before leaving with Qin Yuru, she even made a special bow to Shui Ruolan, then walked out with Qin Yuru.

Both could be counted as outstanding beauties, had manners, were of the same height, and had their unique styles. So, they attracted the attention of those madams, who secretly asked about who they were exactly, and their engagement statuses.

Qin Wanru and Shui Ruolan sat on the seats that were allocated to them by an old maid. She sat beside Shui Ruolan, and Madam of Duke Xing went about her routine of entertaining some guests. She was afraid the two newcomers would be unfamiliar with the situation, so she specially arranged for the smart old maid to be their guide.

Seated at a distance, Countess Yong gave them a cold glance, an enigmatic smile on her face, as she chatted with several madams around her. Instantly, these madams turned to Shui Ruolan, with a little ridicule on their faces.

A remarried widow who still thinks she was someone important, and even making Madam of Duke Xing welcome her at the gate. She didn't know she did not deserve this kind of treatment.

All these madams thought themselves as highly born, and would not treat a remarried widow as one of their kind. Just now, Madam of Duke Xing treated her with high respect, but when they arrived, they did not receive such a grand welcome!

Their eyes that looked at Qin Wanru were filled with ridicule. "Did this girl beg to come along?"

Two girl servants came out with two big basins of fruits. Putting the basins down in front of Shui Ruolan respectfully, they said, "Madam Shui, our madam is concerned that you are not used to the capital's fruits. These are Jiangzhou's local products, but they might not be so fresh, due to their having been sent over by freight."

"Help me thank your madam!" Shui Ruolan said, but she had a frown on her face.

Qin Wanru remained silent, looking around at the crowd at Madam of Duke Xing, and a slightly cold smile appeared on her face. The madam showered them with undue respect time and again, in front of so many people. Her good intentions seemed not as sincere as it appeared to be!

She discovered that when Madam of Duke Xing saw the bluegrass pattern on several people's garments, her eyes narrowed slightly, although her smile did not change. Did this mean Madam of Duke Xing was familiar with this pattern? Or was she aware of the seal?

Today, she, Qin Yuru's, and Qi Rongzhi's embroidery patterns looked similar, but the most similar one was Qin Yuru's, then hers. Qi Rongzhi's had been changed slightly, and the least similar one was her pattern.

Generally speaking, the three patterns looked very much like the real one, but Qin Yuru's looked like the actual one, and her and Qi Rongzhi's looked like fakes.

Using the fakes as a comparison, the real one was no doubt extremely eminent. Blinking her watery eyes, she really expected to see something different today!

If the seal was really related to the Duke Xing's Mansion, an incident was bound to happen at today's banquet.

"Madam Shui, I've heard you are a remarried woman?" Madam of Duke Xing's repetitive show of respect finally annoyed several noble madams, especially those in Duke Yong's Mansion, who were closer. Now, a madam craned her head to look at Shui Ruolan, as she asked with a faint smile. The scorn on her lips could clearly be seen.
