Reincarnation: Multi-skilled Goddess Is So Beautiful! Chapter 936 – Chapter 936 Madam, Are You Alright?

936 Madam, Are You Alright?

It was very terrifying when a group of wives was gossiping around. Not long later, almost everyone in the banquet was aware of this.

All of them expressed their condemnation against the Countess.

“The Countess is simply not worthy of being the Mother or Mother-in-law of Ian and Miss Dou!”

“That’s right. Miss Dou came such a long way to get married. Even if they do not treat her like a guest of honor, they should at least treat her as a relative. However, the Countess actually tried exerting her powers on Miss Dou the moment she arrived here.”

“Fortunately Miss Dou’s maiden family is capable. Otherwise, she would be in deep trouble tonight.”

“I really wish to see what kind of reaction the Countess will have when she wears those clothes.”

The gossip soon reached the ears of the Count.

The Count was so angry that veins were bulging out on his forehead. He called Ian to the side and asked in a heavy voice, “Ian, what exactly happened in the afternoon?”

“What happened is exactly what everyone has been discussing.”

The Count’s expression turned even uglier. He was angry at both the Countess and Ian.

“Don’t you understand that this type of thing should only be discussed when the guests have left?”

“Is Father afraid of losing face? But this was what Zi Yi told her younger sister to say… Oh right, I forgot to inform Father. Zi Yi is very protective of her own and if not for her consideration that it’s not suitable for any accidents to happen during this period of time, perhaps the Countess might have already left to meet my Mother.”

The Count revealed an extremely terrifying and livid expression. However, seeing how much attention the King paid to Lu Jingye and Zi Yi, he could not say anything.

His chest heaved up and down for quite some time before he said, “I will give them an explanation after the banquet.”

Ian’s lips curved up and he gave a kind suggestion. “I think Father has yet to understand Zi Yi’s intention. What she wants is for the Countess to wear the evening dress and attend the dinner banquet.”

The Count looked at him coldly.

Ian did not back down. His gaze was equally sharp.

Only then did the Count realize that his second son, who he had never cared about much, was even more malicious and scheming than he expected.

He stood there with a dark expression for nearly half a minute before he suddenly turned around and called for the butler. “Go and invite the Madam out. Tell her that she must wear the dress Ian prepared, or else she can go back to her maiden family.”

When the Countess entered the banquet hall, the majority of the guests were looking at her.

At that very moment, the Countess’s expression looked a little distorted.

After she put on the dress, she did not feel anything right away. However, as soon as she reached the door, there was an indescribable itch. She wanted to scratch her skin with both hands and take off the dress. But at the thought of the butler’s words, she did not dare to do so.

“Quick, look there. The Countess’ expression looks really weird.”

“Perhaps there might be something on the dress she’s wearing.”

“It must be itching powder. It’s obvious looking at her expression.”

“I saw the Count telling the butler something and then the butler left. The Count must have ordered her to wear this dress that was tampered with.”

“Haha… this kind of person deserves it. When trying to snatch something that doesn’t belong to them, they should have already thought of the consequences that might befall them.”

“You should look at who Miss Dou has as her backing. Even though only her brother came from the Dou Family, Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu alone are much more impactful than a crowd of people.”

“That’s right. If I were her, I would definitely treat this daughter-in-law well. When the time comes, I would be able to benefit greatly, even if it was just hand-me-downs from her.”

“That’s right. If she treats Miss Dou well and she reciprocates her care in the future, she’ll be able to secure her current status in the family.”

…

Nobody lowered their voices when they were discussing and many of the comments had reached the Countess’ ears. When she heard their comments, while already feeling uncomfortable from the itch, she was so angry that she nearly spat out blood.

When she finally walked over to the King with great difficulty, she tried her best to control the discomfort and greeted him. “Welcome, Your Majesty.”

The King glanced at the Countess for a second before answering with indifference.

The Countess immediately felt her heart sink to the bottom of the sea.

Based on the King’s attitude toward her, it was obvious that he was displeased with her. She could already imagine how badly she would be treated by everyone in the future.

She held back her tears and obediently stood next to the Count.

However, she did not expect the Count to give her a cold look which made her heart turn even colder.

Why does everyone treat her like this? Dou Xiangling was completely unharmed and wasn’t she supposed to be the victim instead?

She had already received her punishment and so can’t these people show more compassion?

Zi Yi looked away from the Countess and said to Dou Xiangling, “Cousin, remember this. Even if some people have received the punishment they deserve, it’s possible that they would feel it is unjust and remain unwilling. Therefore, don’t be so soft-hearted.”

Dou Xiangling knew what she was talking about and nodded her head.

The dinner banquet continued. Except for the Countess who was standing there and feeling the excruciating itch, everyone was enjoying the banquet.

When the banquet ended, the King even sent out an invitation. “Mr. Lu, Mrs. Lu. I have prepared a welcome banquet for both of you tomorrow. You’re welcome to come to the palace.”

Since the King had graciously invited them, Lu Jingye certainly would not refuse.

Unexpectedly, the King even specially invited Qin Ze and Dou Zerui. “Mr. Qin, Mr. Dou, you’re welcome as guests tomorrow too.”

Even though they were a little taken aback, they still agreed to go.

After the King left, the other guests also left one after another.

The Count spoke to Lu Jingye and the group in an enthusiastic tone. “Dear guests, why don’t you stay at the Count’s Mansion tonight? You can also help Xiangling adapt to the place where she will be staying in the future.”

Lu Jingye did not have any opinion, as it all depended on Zi Yi.

The others also subconsciously turned to look at Zi Yi.

Zi Yi nodded her head. “Sure, why not.”

The Count’s Mansion was an extremely large duplex compound where different buildings were connected to each other and each had its own courtyard.

The Count was about to get the butler to prepare the rooms when Ian took the lead to say, “I have plenty of rooms at my place. There’s no need for Father to get the servants to prepare the guests’ rooms.”

Having said that, he led everyone to his place.

The Count also tagged along.

When the group left, the Countess, whose body was itching all over, finally collapsed on the ground.

The maid she brought from her maiden family hastily helped her up and asked anxiously, “Madam, are you alright?”

The Countess was feeling so uncomfortable that she could not speak. However, to maintain her last bit of dignity, her nails dug into her palms and she said with trembling lips, “Send me back. Hurry and send me back to my room!”

“Yes!”

After she returned to her room, the group of maids hastily helped her change her clothes. However, she was still feeling uncomfortable from head to toe. She kept scratching and soon, there were scratches all over her body that had blood oozing out.

A few of her maids got a fright and they hastily cried and begged her. “Madam, please stop scratching!”

“I feel so itchy! It’s so uncomfortable!”

When the Countess said that, she suddenly felt a strong sense of murderous intent surge from within. “Why isn’t that woman wearing this dress instead? As long as she had worn it, she would have been the one embarrassing herself tonight!”
