Although Sheng Weiqiao asked that question, she had guessed the result.
Although Princess Deping had the chance to congratulate Meng Bijun in Zheng Guogong’s Family today, she was a guest here after all. Meanwhile, Meng Guiyu, the son of the Meng family, could be taken as a half host. Moreover, Zheng Guogong’s Family was heavily separated by high walls and alleys. Hence, Princess Deping, as a female guest, might not find Meng Guiyu here, unless she got the full support of the host, let alone scheme against Meng Guiyu in his face.
But if she got the help from the host, considering the big gap of positions and powers between the eldest branch and the fourth branch of the Meng Family, Meng Guiyu might be still in the plight even if he saw through the scheme.
As for other factors, not to mention whether the two met by chance, although it was said that Meng Guiyu was short of money, it was only relative to the top circle of the Country Mu where he w
Sheng Weiqiao thought quickly in her mind, "Maybe Princess Gaomi met with Jing Shu Princess just because she was talented when she was a teenager and she appreciated all talented girls. But since Princess Gaomi, who hadn't been in touch with the outside world for a long time, was touched by Jing Shu Princess's talents, how could Jing Shu Princess write only one piece of poetry which was accidentally known by Princess Gaomi? And then she was called in by Princess Gaomi.""I am afraid that what matters the most is not Jing Shu Princess's talent but the content of the poem, which bemoans the loss of children and prays for the safety of the family... If the Third Son of Gaomi King Family had been missing rather than dead, Princess Gaomi might have been touched by Jing Shu Princess's poem because she had been missing her son all the time.""In this way, Princess Gaomi's meeting with her can be reasonable then.""My brother specially asked Jing Shu P
Though bemused, Sheng Weiqiao smiled back at her. Sheng Weiqiao recalled that she wanted to consult something from Huan Yehe, but she had never visited Sheng Shuihe ever since her last meeting with him in the middle of the night.Maybe she had, but privately. And Sheng Shuihe didn't tell anybody.This wasn't a party desired by her, but it could also be her chance since Huan Yehe was here.Then she turned her head and murmured to Lvjin, "Keep an eye on Jing Shu Princess, and give me a hint when the people around her disperse."Lvjin responded a yes."We're all here, aside from Fourteenth Sister. She's been keeping us waiting!" Sheng Weiqiao noticed Meng Lijiang peeking at them as Meng Guihuan and she made their way to the inside after Lvjin took the order from Sheng Weiqiao. Surrounded by several girls, she raised her voice and continued, "Fourteenth Sister is a quiet type who doesn't welcome people's visit. Maybe other
Sheng Weiqiao expressly found one of the most inferior tables with Gongsun Yingjiang and Sheng Weiwu, which was remote from both Meng Bijun and Meng Lijiang. They couldn't enjoy watching performances clearly. The plates and cups in face of them were not as delicate as those of Gongsun Yingjiang and Sheng Weiwu. But it wasn't the matter!They weren't meant to have lunch or experience luxury here. All they wanted was to stay safe until they went back!As they prayed, with one beat on the drum, dancers in colorful outfits showed up on the stage, moving on light steps. Delicate food was served, contained in jade plates. Finally, the banquet started!The guests were a bit intoxicated after having some wine, and they began to chat more freely as the performance on the stage continued.The table of Sheng Weiqiao's group was inconspicuous, but the girls nearby could notice them while exchanging words. Some leaned closer, trying to initiate
Huan Yehe smiled dryly as she looked into Sheng Weiqiao's distrustful eyes and went straight to the point, "I suppose you've learned about the competition between the wife and the concubine of the Guogong Family.""Fourteenth Miss Meng doesn't seem to enjoy social occasions. It would have got unimaginably embarrassing in A Rambling Reader's Study if her three cousins and I hadn't managed to save the situation. Do you know why they insisted on holding a boisterous birthday party for her, still?"Sheng Weiqiao reacted to her question by instructing Gongsun Yingjiang, "You bring Eighth Sister to the other side of the room and get her something to eat."She could presume that Huan Yehe was about to tell her something big and lesser-known. She feared that Sheng Weiwu would leak it out with a slip of tongue, which was a mistake commonly seen in a girl at her age and could easily get them into trouble.She sent away Gongsun Yingjiang also
Huan Yehe chuckled as she said softly, "The third son of Gaomi King Family, who's said to have died young, has got a red birthmark of a thumb's size on his body... Am I right?!"A birthmark?Sheng Weiqiao was surprised and figured she obtained an important piece of information!But she managed to recompose herself and asked, "How did you know something so private?""You needn't know that!" Huan Yehe moved back to where she sat and poured herself another cup of tea. She took a sip with a faint smile on her face, "Your brother has a servant called Sheng Xi. I could tell by his family name that he's from a bloodline that serves Sheng Family for generations... You can go ask him, as his Miss. If he didn't take note of it before, he could check it out while serving your brother's bathing."She told her that and then began to hold back her words, despite Sheng Weiqiao's prying. She even turned the table on Sheng Weiqiao, ask
Fortunately, it was not far away from Jingshe and Wangyou told the place clearly, so the aunt and the nephew led the maid and found the place easily.At this time, there were several young ladies in the Jingshe first, but they were strange faces. They nodded to each other as a greeting and no longer paid attention to each other.After dressing and washing their hands, the two slightly fixed their makeup to the bronze mirror outside. After that, they left the room.After leaving Jingshe, he went around the main hall of the main reception hall of the Laurel Garden along the way he came and joined up with Wangyou who was hiding behind the rockery. As this place is not far from the main reception hall, he did not say much but hurried back to Xiaoxuan.After going out for a while, Wangyou said with a smile, "You two are back so fast. You didn't meet any acquaintances, did you?""We hardly know the people here." Sheng Weiqia
"Do we come across this by accident?" Sheng Weiqiao knew it was urgent, so he must make a decision immediately whether to go or not. Otherwise, when the people arranged by Aunt Jiao Yu's arrangement came, she would be the chess for others!She took a deep breath, worriedly turned to Wangyou, and whispered quickly, "The rockery is the only way for us to return to the small house, where the Princess is in! Besides, the Princess said before that Fourteenth Miss Meng went back to the living room in the Rambling Reader's Study! Now, if something happened here... Wangyou, do you think it's our bad luck so that we can't escape this storm, or?"Wangyou was persuading her to leave quickly. But after hearing this, she suddenly changed her face and said, "What should we do now?"Gongsun Yingjiang, who was trying to help Wangyou and even planned to force Sheng Weiqiao to leave, was also stunned. She thought that the three of them sit behind and didn't noti
At that moment, the hearts of Sheng Weiqiao and the other two girls all skipped a beat!To their relief, they instantly discerned that this group was coming from the pavilion's direction, led by Huan Yehe!"Hurry up! Go back to the pavilion!" Noticing their existence, Huan Yehe lifted her skirt and rushed towards them as she caught sight of Meng Bijun, who was carried by Gongsun Yingjiang on the back. She said swiftly, "I've asked servants to prepare some hot water. We've got only a small amount at our disposal, but it's enough for her to wash up with... I'll lend my outfits to her, and we can get our story straight on the way back!"She tugged Sheng Weiqiao's hand, hastening her steps.Sheng Weiqiao looked around, but suddenly uttered, "Your Highness, I'll appreciate it if you can ask your maids to escort Fourteenth Miss Meng back to the pavilion and tidy up. Yingjiang and I have to stay here and clean up the mess!"H
