Chapter 430: The Thickness of His Face Is Amazing
"Yang Dianbin, you must be joking. I was just making a normal statement. How can I scare you? Since you are fully responsible for this matter, if something goes wrong, you will naturally be fully responsible."
Jiang Suining withdrew his gaze with a smile and spoke to Wei Yao, He Qingrui and the others.
"If everyone has no objection to Yang Dianbin taking charge of this matter, why not report it to the Queen right away."
Wei Yao shook her head, "I have no objection."
He Qingrui looked at Yang Manman's frozen expression and snorted, "I have no objection either."
"Okay, let's go meet the Queen now." Jiang Suining said with a smile.
Seeing that several people were really about to leave, Yang Manman's expression changed.
"Wait! I haven't agreed yet. Who allowed you to report it?"
"Didn't you just say it was natural? Why don't you agree now?" Lu Yan looked at Yang Manman with a sneer, "Why? Is it because you know that you are a fool and can't be responsible for such a thing?"
Yang Manman gritted her teeth and glared at Lu Yan fiercely.
"Whether I am capable or not is not up to you! Of course I can take responsibility for this matter, but I don't trust you. Who knows if you will deliberately make trouble after I take responsibility so that I can take the blame."
Jiang Suining smiled leisurely, "So according to Yang Dianbin, you want to be responsible for this matter alone?"
Yang Manman choked, "I..."
"That's not impossible. Since Yang Dianbin is so confident in his abilities, we will ask the Queen to let you take charge alone. We won't take away this great opportunity to demonstrate your abilities."
Jiang Suining's words were once again agreed by Wei Yao, He Qingrui and others, and Lu Yan also chimed in, saying that she would give this opportunity completely to Yang Manman.
The expression on Yang Manman's face was so wonderful, as if she had swallowed a fly.
I can't swallow it, and I can't spit it out.
Although she was shouting loudly, she knew deep down that she was completely confused about how the party should be held.
She couldn't even bear to read the booklets that were sent to her. If she were really given full responsibility, she would have no idea where to start.
But what I said just now has already been said. If I regret it now, I would be slapping myself in the face.
Yang Manman's teeth were chattering as she looked at the smiles on Jiang Suining and the others' faces. She wanted to pounce on them and bite off a piece of her flesh from them.
But she can't.
"Have you thought it through?" Jiang Suining raised his eyebrows, with a hint of amusement in his smile, "Do you need us to report it?"
"No need!" Yang Manman squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth, "Jiang Suining, only people like you are suitable to be responsible for such a tiring job. I'm not interested!"
As soon as these words were spoken, He Qingrui was the first to sneer.
"Yang Manman, your shamelessness is truly astonishing!"
Yang Manman's face turned red with anger.
Jiang Suining tilted her head slightly, frowned and said, "Yang Dianbin, you just said that you are a female official of the seventh rank. You can't just say you are not interested and not take responsibility for this matter. Or do you plan to just blend in and wait until the banquet is over to divide the credit?"
"Jiang Suining, stop bragging here. Do you really think that you guys can successfully complete a birthday party? I'm waiting to see you make mistakes and get punished!"
Yang Manman hurriedly said this and turned around and walked into the duty room.
He Qingrui looked at her from behind and spoke loudly, "We don't know whether we can complete it or whether we will be punished, but some people are embarrassed and run away now."
Seeing that Yang Manman had entered the room, the sneer on Lu Yan's face completely disappeared, and she spoke in a low voice.
"We really can't be careless about this birthday party. Although we can't count on Yang Manman, we still have to be on guard against her causing trouble for us."
"Ms. Lu is right!" He Qingrui nodded in agreement. "With Yang Manman, who is so mean and rotten-hearted, who knows if she will not only not help but deliberately make trouble instead."
Jiang Suining looked at the door, staring at the small piece of official uniform hem exposed by the door, raised his eyebrows and chuckled.
"It doesn't matter. The Duke's Mansion has been confiscated now. Yang Manman has nothing to rely on anymore. The status of a female official is her last resort. If she still has a little bit of brains, she should know that if something goes wrong at the banquet and affects the emperor's opinion of female officials, then her status as a seventh-rank female official might be gone one day."
Jiang Suining spoke in a normal voice, without deliberately lowering the volume. His tone was more like a reminder and warning to Yang Manman than to comfort Lu Yan and the others.
Behind the door, Yang Manman clenched her fists tightly, her nails leaving deep marks on her palms.
There is only half a month left until Concubine Shu's birthday. This reserved time is neither long nor short.
In the morning, several people discussed the entire procedure of the banquet together. They did not avoid Yang Manman during the discussion, but Yang Manman just sat in her seat, looking at them coldly, revealing a bit of contempt from time to time, as if she wanted to isolate a group of people by herself.
He Qingrui was provoked by this look and wanted to argue with Yang Manman several times, but was stopped by Lu Yan every time.
After the general chat, although I had a clearer idea about the arrangements for the birthday party, I also felt more troubled and nervous.
He Qingrui sorted out the contents on the paper and sighed at Lu Yan.
"I now regret becoming this female official."
"Don't say discouraging words, just take it one step at a time. Besides, what Sui Ning and the others have to do is much more troublesome than what we have." Lu Yan persuaded with a smile.
He Qingrui looked at Jiang Suining and Wei Yao who were still discussing and checking on the side, took a deep breath, cheered herself up and nodded.
When he was about to get up, he saw that the collar of Lu Yan's official uniform was not straightened. He was stunned for a moment, then remembered how hurried she was when she came, and frowned.
"Ms. Lu, did you get up late today?" As he said this, he straightened Lu Yan's collar.
Lu Yan smiled helplessly, "I didn't get up late, but I encountered some troubles early in the morning, which delayed me."
"What's up?"
"It's funny to say that the Prime Minister's Mansion..."
Before Lu Yan finished speaking, she glanced at Yang Manman and changed her words.
"Nothing, just some insignificant little things."
Although Yang Manman was sitting in her seat, she was paying close attention to every move of Lu Yan and Jiang Suining. When she heard Lu Yan's words, she instantly perked up.
Prime Minister's Mansion?
What happened to the Prime Minister’s Mansion?
Could it be that Lu Yan was late today and it had something to do with Li Zheng?
But Lu Yan had already stopped talking and changed the subject.
Throughout the day, Yang Manman, in addition to keeping an eye on Jiang Suining and the others' arrangements and preparations for the banquet, was also thinking about what Lu Yan had not finished saying, and all kinds of guesses came to her mind.
When it was time to get off duty, He Qingrui and Wei Yao left first.
Jiang Suining and Lu Yan sorted out their arrangements for the day and left together.
However, before they had walked far, when they passed the Imperial Garden, they were stopped by Yang Manman.
