Avenge For Love novel Chapter 6

Master Wu and Madam Wu were greeting the guests with a beam on their face. The couple seemed to be genuinely happy for their daughter to hold such a grand banquet for her.

Although Madam Wu was secretly burning with rage as she had to say something good about that bastard daughter of hers.

"Our Xing'er is a really nice girl. She follows our every rule and is a good role model to all her siblings." Madam Wu said through gritted teeth.

"His Highness the Crown Prince!"

One of the guards announced, alerting all those present.

Even Master Wu was surprised. He had indeed sent out an invitation to the imperial family but he didn't expect the Crown Prince to actually show up. This was a blessing to him.

At once, everyone greeted the Crown Prince since he was of higher rank.

"Greetings to His Highness!"

All of the young ladies present were blushing because of his good looking face. How lucky they were that their parents made them come. They got to see the capital's most handsome male.

The youth told his subjects to rise as he was escorted to his seat.

The reason he came was the same as the others. To see the famed Eldest Miss of the Wu family.

"Everyone, thank you for coming to celebrate today. It's not a big deal, but to know that Xing'er received a perfect score on the exams that not even the smartest scholars could achieve is a gift from the heavens."

Master Wu started to speak and garnered the attention of his guests.

The exams were one that all scholars and officials must pass in order to qualify for a position. Therefore, many heirs were taught to learn it in hopes that they would one day enter the state.

For a female, the exam was useless as they weren't allowed to hold office but there was no law that forbade a woman from taking them. Therefore, Master Wu made Xingxie take the exam. Other families had tried this with their daughter but they flunked badly as they thought it was boring and of no use to their future anyways.

Master Wu had Xingxie take the exams to make a point. In the capital, not only was his eldest daughter beautiful, she had a brain that was better than other families' son. Such erudite was something many people during their times admired. Especially since Master Wu was a general, he wanted people to know he wasn't just all about fighting and wars.

Education was not required for those in the military but as he was of noble birth, his children had to be well educated and cultured.

After his words, a bold guest asked where the Wu's Eldest Miss was. The lady was the Madam from the Ning family. Although they were rich, their reputation was bad because their eldest son was known for being a womanizer and spending money like water. Not only that, the Ning Young Master was also illiterate and would often skip his lessons.

Master Wu politely smiled as if he was looking down at her.

"Xing'er is very shy around those she has never met. It's partially my fault for not letting her out to socialize with other children."

After he said this, Madam Wu butted in.

They chatted with each other, trying to guess how she would look like. After seeing the faces of the young masters, the other guests began to worry. If they were all handsome, then imagine how the daughter of Master Wu must look!

After a few minutes, the doors creaked open. A young maid walked in, holding the hands of her miss.

Everyone was shock by what they saw.

They thought Wu Xingxie would be all dressed up but the Eldest Miss looked so plain.

Madam Wu seeing the girl sneered in her heart. Foolish girl, you're only humiliating yourself!

Dressed in a simple white hanfu with black swirls on the sleeves, Wu Xingxie gracefully walked in. The dress was fitting, enhancing her body curves. For a sixteen years old girl, she was very healthy and seemed to have mature faster than other girls.

What was shocking was the veil on her face, covering most of her face. Despite this, the people could sense her powerful charisma. Even though they couldn't see her face, her eyes were captivating.

The Crown Prince as surprised. He thought he would finally get to see her face but the girl had to cover it up.

Naturally, no one could tell her to remove it. She was still an unmarried young girl so showing her face in front of so many people other than her family was improper.

Wu Yunxia was the most shock. He hadn't seen Wu Xingxie in a long time so he didn't know how much the girl had grown. Jealousy filled his heart as he saw everyone's eyes on her.
