Shadow stared at her and then looked away. He held the red wine gla.s.s and reminded her coldly, The elders of the Privy Council are waiting for you. Do you still want to get to know them?

Ji Ziyin pursed her lips as her eyes flickered.

Making a decision, she looked up again. The Empress personally pulled the strings for me. How can I let her down?

Shadow pursed his lips to hide his disdain and strode forward. Yes, lets go. He led the way.

Ji Ziyin took the opportunity to send Ji Xiao a message, asking him to help her delay for two more days. He was to tell them she was sick and could not go back for now.

Seeing the message had been sent successfully, Ji Ziyin narrowed her eyes and followed Shadow into the venue.

This time, it was a banquet personally organized by the Empress. Many members of the upper echelons had come.

The c.o.c.ktail party was filled with toasts and exquisite clothes, and the air was filled with the elegant and cheerful music of the violin. Ji Ziyin followed Shadow, attracting the attention of many people

She raised her neck slightly, like an elegant upper-cla.s.s person. Under Shadows introduction, she got to know the circles that she could not come into contact with in the past.

In a corner of the crowd.

Yu Xinlans side was much emptier.

The Yu family had suffered a heavy blow this time. She did not know how long they could stay in this circle. She could attend this time because of the royal familys glory, and Joseph brought her.

However, even so, everyone was smart. No one was willing to help her. They avoided her like the plague.

There was no one around Yu Xinlan. Compared to Ji Ziyin, she could be considered to be in dire straits.

If this situation had happened before the Yu Family collapsed, Yu Xinlan would not have been able to accept it and would not have been able to continue staying here.

However, she did not know if it was too much of a blow this time, but she actually calmly accepted the huge disparity.

Standing in a corner, she swirled her wine in the gla.s.s and watched Ji Ziyins glorious moment coldly.

Joseph noticed her in the corner. After exchanging pleasantries with the person beside him, he walked towards her with his gla.s.s. Why arent you speaking with anyone?

The Yu family was related to them. The royal family did not partic.i.p.ate in Yu Qinglius plan. However, even though the Yu family had lost, they did not kick them when they were down.

Seeing that her uncle had returned, Yu Xinlans oval face finally showed some emotion. She lowered her eyes and softly said, No one cares about me. I dont have to make things difficult for others and myself.

Dont think that way. Joseph sighed and was about to comfort her.

However, Yu Xinlan raised her head and smiled at him. She was much more mature and steady than before. Everyone says that the reclusive families are a whole ent.i.ty. But theyre actually just like that, from the looks of it.

Everyone is united for the sake of benefits! If the benefits change one day, these people will also change. Therefore, its only reasonable to be strong independently.

Joseph frowned and was about to tell her to stop spouting nonsense.

Yu Xinlan finished the wine and put down the gla.s.s, then said freely, Uncle, thank you for bringing me here, but theres no need to accompany me.

Ill get going first.

With that, she left without looking back.

Yu Xinlans back was confident. There was no attachment to the circle of reclusive families.

Joseph watched her leave. In the end, he shook his head and looked at Ji Ziyin, who was following Shadow. He pursed his lips.

Ji Ziyin used the Yu family to rise to power, but the Yu family lost.

She had chosen the wrong person..
