Chapter 124 Engagement Banquet

The day of the engagement party.

The engagement banquet was held at Ling Mansion. The eldest wife of Ye Mansion set out for Ling Mansion early in the morning. The time of the banquet invitation was 9:00 pm, and the eldest wife of Ye Mansion arrived at Ling Mansion at 4:45 pm.

Jiang Xu and Tao Ling were taking care of the details, Ye Zhengde and Master Ling were preparing to entertain the guests in the front hall, Ye Quanyong and Ye Jiaxuan were helping Ling Sichen prepare to entertain the children of the aristocratic families, and Ye Ziyu and Ling Bingqing were helping Ye Qingyin prepare to entertain the young ladies of the aristocratic families in the backyard.

"Wow, I finally see you two. I missed you so much." When Ling Bingqing saw Ye Ziyu and Ye Qingyin, she ran over and hugged them.

"Has your mother released you from confinement?" Ye Ziyu asked.

"You are just a person who always brings up things that are not related to the topic. You only talk about people's sad things." Ling Bingqing pouted, "I have finished copying the books that I was punished to copy, and I also made a promise to my mother, so she naturally released me from confinement. As for you, you have posted so many times, but I have never seen you come once."

"My foot was injured and I couldn't move. Then I was busy with the shop's business. How could I have time to accompany you?" Ye Ziyu said.

"Forget it, forget it. It's because I didn't go that day. If I had gone, you might not have hurt your foot."

"Okay, it's all over, why are you still talking about it." Ye Ziyu looked at Ye Qingyin, "Sister, are you nervous?"

"It's okay. There's nothing to be nervous about." Ye Qingyin was very calm.

“So peaceful.”

"Hehe, the way you said it sounds like you've been engaged yourself and know that getting engaged will be very nervous." Ye Qingyin was amused.

"I haven't decided on it myself, but I've seen storybooks saying it would be super stressful," said Ye Ziyu.

"When you get engaged, you will know whether it is nervous or not." Ye Qingyin said with a smile.

"Aqing, what are we going to do at the banquet today?" It was the first time for Ye Ziyu to attend such a banquet. Since the entire banquet was arranged by Mrs. Ling, she didn't know what to do.

"My mother didn't say anything special. She just asked us to entertain those young ladies well, and then someone will be in charge of the etiquette process of Ayin's engagement."

"it is good."

The guests arrived one after another. "Big sister, third sister." Ye Kexin and Ye Siteng came over to greet them. "Congratulations, big sister."

Ye Qingyin smiled and said, "Thank you very much. Please take a seat quickly. If you need anything, just ask the servants."

"Yes." Ye Kexin took Ye Sinting away.

"Today, the fourth sister was not afraid of the elder sister at all." Ye Ziyu said.

"I, your sister, am not scary at all." Ye Qingyin said with a smile.

Many more female relatives came and greeted Ye Qingyin and Ling Bingqing politely, saying congratulations.

Ye Ziyu was a little unsteady on her feet, so Ye Qingyin asked her to find a place to sit down and have some snacks.

"Third sister." Ye Kexin saw Ye Ziyu sitting alone, walked over and sat down in a seat near Ye Ziyu.

"Why are you sitting here alone, third sister? You look so bored. Today is eldest sister's wedding day, so naturally eldest sister is a little busy and has no time to accompany third sister. I will sit with third sister and chat with her." Ye Kexin said with a smile.

"Okay." Ye Ziyu said with a smile.

But Ye Ziyu didn't start a conversation and just kept eating.

Seeing Ye Ziyu remained silent for a long time, Ye Kexin felt awkward, "Third sister, why don't you take me for a walk? I haven't been to the Ling Mansion yet. I guess since Third sister is so close to Miss Ling, she should be very familiar with the Ling Mansion."

"After all, this is someone else's mansion. Every time I come here, I just go directly to find Aqing. I have never been around here much, and I don't know which places I can go and which places I can't go to, so it's better for me not to go." Ye Ziyu said with a smile.

"Well, what Third Sister said makes sense. It's my fault for not thinking it through." Ye Kexin was embarrassed.

Ye Ziyu looked at Ye Kexin and felt embarrassed for her, "If Fourth Sister has other playmates, she can go find them. You don't have to stay here with me. I can do it alone."

"Then I'll go to the toilet first." Ye Kexin stood up, asked a maid in the mansion, and then the maid took her away.

"Miss Ye San, Madam Ye wants you to go to the front hall." A maid ran to Ye Ziyu in a hurry and whispered in her ear.

Ye Qingyin noticed that a maid was looking for Ye Ziyu in a hurry. She smiled at the woman in front of her and said, "Excuse me for a moment." Then she walked to Ye Ziyu's side.

"what happened?"

"Mrs. Ye asks Miss Ye San to go to the front hall." The maid replied.

"Isn't the front hall a place for men's banquets? Why would you ask Ayu to go there?" Ye Qingyin frowned.

"It was the young master of the Lin family who came with a bunch of gifts and said he wanted to propose to Miss Ye." said the maid.

Ye Ziyu was shocked when she heard this, "Is Lin Yun crazy? How dare he do this in this situation?"

"Propose marriage? Propose to whom?" Ye Qingyin asked.

The maid glanced at Ye Ziyu and said, "Although Master Lin did not explicitly say that it was Miss Ye San, he was referring to Madam Ye, so..."

"So everyone thinks it was me?" Ye Ziyu said coldly.

The maid did not reply.

"This is the engagement party for Master Ling and my elder sister. If he has other things to say, let him talk to me later."

"Master Lin stood in the middle without moving. Both the ladies and the masters came out to persuade him, but..."

"Sister, I'll go to the front hall to check."

"I go with you."

"No, you still have to entertain the women here. Mom, Dad, and brothers are in the front hall. It's okay."

"But..." Ye Qingyin wanted to say something, but Ye Ziyu gave her a look that reassured her, then followed the maid to the front hall.

As Ye Ziyu was walking, she was suddenly pulled to a place. Liqiu and Lixia watched the young lady being pulled aside. Just as they were about to scream, they were both knocked unconscious and dragged away.

Ye Ziyu was restrained from behind by someone, and that person covered her mouth with his hand.

Ye Ziyu tried a few times but couldn't break free.

"Don't move, it's me."

Hearing this, Ye Ziyu stopped and raised his head to signal to let go.

The person behind let go of Ye Ziyu, and Ye Ziyu turned around and looked at the person behind him.

"What a coincidence, Miss Ye San." Fang Jingxiu said.

Ye Ziyu rolled her eyes. "What a coincidence? Wasn't it Young Marquis Fang who brought me here?"

"You can't say that. Don't you have something to say to Miss Ye San?"

"Let's talk later. I'm busy now." Ye Ziyu was impatient and wanted to go out again.

"Can't you see that Lin Yun is waiting for you to go out?" Fang Jingxiu grabbed Ye Ziyu's wrist.

"Let go." Ye Ziyu shook him off. "Men and women should not touch each other. Don't you even understand this, young marquis?"

"Ms. Ye won't even listen to what I say. There's nothing I can do about it." Fang Jingxiu shrugged.

"Then please speak quickly, young marquis. I have something else to do."

"You don't have to go to the front hall. Lin Yun is waiting for you to show up." Fang Jingxiu said.

"I don't want to go either, but if I don't go he won't move. This is the engagement party for my elder sister and Master Ling. How can it be ruined by that bastard?"

When Fang Jingxiu heard Ye Ziyu calling Lin Yun a bastard, he couldn't help but smile.

"It's okay. He will have to move later even if he doesn't want to." Fang Jingxiu said with a smile.

Ye Ziyu looked at Fang Jingxiu in confusion.

"Come on, I'll take you to take a sneak peek." Fang Jingxiu started to leave.

"Wait, where are my two maids?"

"Don't worry, my guards will take good care of them."

Ye Ziyu followed.

"Young Master left just like that? What about these two?" Mo Yu asked.

"What else can we do? Let's just watch." Mo Liang was helpless.

Ye Ziyu followed Fang Jingxiu to a secluded place, where she could see what was happening in the front hall without being discovered.

Lin Yun was seen standing respectfully in the middle of the front hall with a pile of boxes behind him. Everyone was looking at Lin Yun. Those who wanted to come in to congratulate him were unable to get in because Lin Yun's things were blocking the door. There was a long line outside the Ling Mansion. Those who didn't know would have thought that the Ling Mansion was selling something today.

"Mr. Lin, today is my daughter and Mr. Ling's engagement party. Can't you tell me later if you have anything to say? Are you trying to ruin my daughter's engagement party by standing in the way?" Ye Zhengde began to advise again.

"General Ye, I'm here to celebrate the eldest lady's engagement, and I also want to ask for good luck for myself. I want to propose to Miss Ye, and I hope General Ye can agree."

"Why is the maid who brought me here just now missing? Shouldn't she have arrived at the front hall earlier than us?" Ye Ziyu was surprised. Looking at her father, mother, Madam Ling and other elders, they didn't seem to be waiting for her to come.

"Mr. Lin, do you have to make this so ugly?" Jiang Xu said.

There were also people around who kept talking about how General Ye could possibly marry Third Miss Ye to Lin Yun since he had ruined Miss Ye's engagement party like this.

"What's going on?" a voice came from the door.
