Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman (1-200)

chapter 91: From the Imperial Capital

The phone number is from the Imperial Capital, and there were only two words on it-Murong.

Yin Shaoyuan stared at the two words, the smile on his face fading slowly, and it took a long while before he swiped on the green button to receive the call.

The sixth of July was a big day in the aristocratic circle of N City, it was a day where the Yin family, a family which rarely held banquets, would hold a grand banquet for the celebration of acknowledging a new family member.

The Yin manor was located in the innermost part of the Shanhe Manor Area. On normal days, people who looked from afar wouldn't even be able to catch a glimpse of the building. The guards who stood outside provided iron-clad security, not letting even a fly come in, what more the people. Being able to attend the banquet today would be something to boast about in the long future.

But since it's the Yin family, those who were invited would definitely only be those big, prestigious families of N City, and those from the smaller households...

For example, the Gu family, they wouldn't even have the chance to touch an invitation card!

The atmosphere in Gu Manor was miserable. When Gu Xijin was sent away, Su Wan'er's family had made a fuss once, straight out claiming that they needed to teach Gu Xiqiao a lesson. Once the news of the Yin family taking in Gu Xiqiao came out, the Su family never brought up the matter again. Gu Zuhui sank deeper into depression by the days, and Su Wan'er returned to her parent's house in a tantrum and had yet to return.

"Do you think the wrongs I have committed are too deep?" Just a few days of not seeing him, Master Gu had a gaunt look in his eyes, as though he had aged years.

The butler stood by his side, his gaze on the TV in front of them, his brows furrowed at the words, but he remained stoically silent.

On the screen of the TV, a reporter was talking about the banquet that was being held today. It stands to reason that a big family like the Yin hated to be on the news, and information regarding their family was well hidden from the internet. It wasn't only the Yin family, all of the prominent families were the same.

However, the Yin family had initiated an interview themselves, and although the reporter could only stay outside the area of the Shanhe Manor Area, completely out of sight of Yin Manor, they were still making the headlines, weren't they?

In any case, the Yin family was announcing to the world at large: Gu Xiqiao was really important to them!

"Mrs. Yin, you have a gorgeous daughter." A lady with heavy makeup spared no effort in her flattering of Tang Yanling. "It really is such a joyous and wondrous occasion, I see your complexion has also improved a lot!"

Initially, they had thought that Gu Xiqiao was someone who managed to make it to the top by luck, but when the ladies entered the doors, they were in for a shock.

Many people had come bearing gifts, such as the Wu family, who were involved in both law enforcement and underworld dealings, the Xiao family, who were low profile but have been around for more than a hundred years...and many more other distinguished families. The message that was delivered with their presence was simple, they were here for Gu Xiqiao. This led to a lot of shock and surprise to the others who were here, what was so special about Gu Xiqiao?

Hearing someone praise Gu Xiqiao, Tang Yanling's smile naturally got wider. With a radiant smile on her face, she gently touched the earrings on her ear. "Of course, do you see this pair of earrings? It was a gift from her. After I started wearing them, my complexion has improved a lot, I don't even have any powder on my face today!"
