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
In the afternoon in Sheng’s mansion, Sheng Shuihe, who was unwilling to read or study, was staring at a red sandalwood palace lantern in front of him. Suddenly there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside. Then Juli came to knock on the door and she said at the same time, "Childe, Miss, and the others are back!"Sheng Shuihe was stunned. He stuffed the letter which he had finished early in the morning but hadn't put in the envelope into the stack of books at the desk, and then quickly stood up and walked out.He was tall and he had long legs, so he reached the flowers-hung door in a few steps. And Sheng Weiqiao and the other two people just entered through the door.Seeing him, both of them subconsciously showed a relieved expression, including Sheng Weiwu who was still young."Why you come back so early?" The moment Sheng Shuihe met them, he sized up Sheng Weiqiao quickly, finding that although her dress and hair were neat and
When Gongsun Yingjiang was gloating, she didn't know that at this moment, Sheng Shuihe, who she thought would flip out for the beauty, was in a very bad situation.Sheng Weiqiao looked cold, and tears were still on her cheeks. She could not hide her anger and gritted her teeth, "You are a playboy!"She regarded him as support!After experiencing a frightening scene in Zheng Guogong's Mansion, she was relieved when she saw him after she came back.But what was the result?She just cried "slightly" for a while, but when she came back to her senses, she found that she was in his arms! And he even... He even took the opportunity to kiss her forehead and cheeks!This bastard fished in troubled waters!She really read him in the wrong way!Fortunately, Sheng Shuihe reminded her in time, "Yishan and Yingjiang are outside."Otherwise, Sheng Weiqiao would probably have lifted
Gongsun Yingjiang wailed in her mind, "I knew it!"Her Aunt was the apple of her Little Uncle's eye, while she was a grass!Since Little Uncle met her aunt, the relationship between the uncle and nephew was eaten by Little Five!!!"Little Uncle, I'm not to blame for this. It was the people in the family of the Zheng Guogong who were evil and calculated on us!" As the daughter of the Sea Master, Gongsun Yingjiang, whose moral character was far away from goodness, couldn't stand there being rebuked. She wiped her tears and tried to shift the responsibility, "Even Jing Shu Princess may not be innocent. If she hadn't called us to the small house, we would have stayed in the lobby with other people all the time. If so, how could we experience this?! I tried hard to protect my Aunt!""I have no time to talk with you now!" Sheng Shuihe was gloomy and said coldly, "Come here! Yishan, you rub the ink for her. Draw the internal layout of the
