But now she was already quite familiar with the rules of this world, and it was time to interact with others, lest she arouse suspicion.
Soon, Bai Susu flipped through and scanned the invitations in her hand one by one.
Some invitations she didn’t plan to attend, so she just glanced at them and put them down.
However, what surprised Bai Susu was that Lin Changyue even sent her an invitation, inviting her to attend her birthday feast two days later.
In Bai Wanwan’s previous life’s storyline, because Lin Changqing had merit in suppressing bandits, Feng Qingyang, to flatter the Lin Family, specially attended her birthday feast.
As a result, at the birthday feast, Lin Changyue, in a simple yet elegant dress with a cool and ethereal temperament, was regarded as a heavenly beauty by Feng Qingyang, who immediately decreed her entry into the harem. Dıscover more novels at N()velFire.net
And her entry to the palace was directly as one of the four concubines.
The Lin Family simply couldn’t refuse Feng Qingyang’s request, so they had to send Lin Changyue into the harem.
Thinking of Feng Qiwu’s mention that Lin Changqing was actually his covert operative, Bai Susu narrowed her eyes and set Lin Changyue’s invitation aside, planning to attend and have a look.
This time, although Lin Changqing didn’t have the credit of successfully suppressing bandits, who knows if Feng Qingyang might attend Lin Changyue’s birthday feast for other reasons due to the force of the plot?
In case that old guy took a liking to Lin Changyue again, wanting to act like an old bull eating tender grass, at that time, Lin Changqing’s family would still be unable to refuse.
Since she knew that the Lin Family belonged to Feng Qiwu, she naturally couldn’t just watch Lin Changyue repeat the same tragic fate.
Just as her menstruation would almost be over by then, going out for a trip wouldn’t be a problem.
Besides that, Bai Susu also kept two other invitations.
These two invitations were from two noblewomen she met during the last autumn hunt, and they still got along quite well.
However, considering the lesson learned from Cai Yanyan, whether she would attend these two events needed to wait until the evening to discuss with Feng Qiwu first.
She wouldn’t just blindly accept invitations from people she didn’t understand, putting herself into trouble.
Thinking of these, Bai Susu kept three invitations and then said to Chuntao and Nuansummer, "Please decline the rest of the invitations for me."
Hearing this, the two nodded, skillfully collected the invitations Bai Susu didn’t plan to attend.
As for how to refuse them, they naturally had a protocol and Bai Susu didn’t need to worry.
In the evening, upon hearing about the invitation issue, Feng Qiwu said to Bai Susu, "There’s been a change in the northwest situation, Lin Changqing probably can’t return for now, so attending his sister’s birthday feast won’t be a bad idea."
"As for Li Siyu and Lin Changyue, they aren’t as hypocritical as Cai Yanyan, but they’re not fools either, just maintain normal interactions with them."
"Don’t worry, although their families aren’t part of Gu’s power, they definitely don’t dare to easily offend Gu and your grandfather."
In simple terms, both families are just fence-sitters.
However, being able to act as fence-sitters under Feng Qingyang’s nose and remain stable is also a skill.
Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages is human nature, but consistently choosing the right position with the change of circumstances is not easy.
It can only be said that the decision-makers in these two families have good judgment.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t send an invitation to Susu at this time to establish relations in advance.
Bai Susu nodded after hearing this, and then quickly asked, "What has happened in the northwest again? Has the epidemic spread again?"
If that’s the case, it’s a big deal and cannot be delayed.
Feng Qiwu’s expression also turned serious.
"It is, and it’s not."
"Gu received news from the northwest today, saying that someone in Qingyun Town may be deliberately trying to spread the epidemic," Feng Qiwu said coldly.
Fortunately, with Susu’s earlier reminder, he had already prepared some precautions and arrangements there.
Otherwise, the patients from all over Qingyun Town would have scattered everywhere!
At that time, who knows how many towns would suffer.
"What?" Bai Susu’s voice suddenly rose, her brows furrowing instantly.
Deliberately spreading an epidemic?
This, in modern terms, is a threat to public safety, and amounts to the crime of deliberate poisoning!
