When Twelfth Miss Meng and Thirteenth Miss Meng were speaking in low murmurs, Meng Guihan was having an intimate talk with his elder brother Meng Guiyu at the edge of the flowering shrubs, just a short distance away from the two sisters. "Sixth Brother, Princess Kangzhao left here a long time ago and has not come back yet. Maybe someone stopped her somewhere to pour out his or her heart. Just a moment ago, I asked a maid whether she had seen Princess Kangzhao, and she told me that she had seen Princess Kangzhao ask for directions at a short distance from here. As I estimated, she would arrive here after a while. You cannot miss such a good opportunity!"
Hearing that, Meng Guiyu frowned. He was really curious about Sheng Weiqiao and intended to have more contact with her. But after all, he valued his siblings most at the moment. Thus, to him, that Meng Guihan put his heart and soul into pairing him off with Sheng Weiqiao was a big headache, "What about you? Today, almost
After they came to an agreement, Meng Liti helped her cousin with the makeup, and then they stepped out of the room with a graceful manner in their maids' company as if nothing had happened.Very shortly, they caught Meng Guihan peeking out from behind a tree on their way."Seventh Brother, what are you doing?" Meng Lipiao and Meng Liti exchanged a quizzical glance and they went up to ask him in a low voice."Eh?" Being caught off guard, Meng Guihan was startled before he turned back and found his two cousins. But being loath to let them in on his secret, he only frowned, "Nothing much... What are you doing here?""Seventh Brother, are you in a place to question us?" Meng Lipiao wasn't in a good mood despite having hatched a plan for revenge already, so she got impatient naturally when Meng Guihan, whose fourth branch was always scorned by the other three, responded to her in an offhand manner. So she said coldly, "You're al
Meng Liti was vexed to see them downplay it and muttered within, "Why couldn't we pit Her Highness against Sheng Weiqiao? Why was she so lucky?!"Her legitimate mother would make a big scene if her son was in love with a girl like that!But being well aware that pitting the Grand Princess against Sheng Weiqiao was only the first step of their plan, Meng Liti stifled her temper. She sneered inside, "It was a close call, wasn't it?! But will you stay lucky all along?!"Meng Liti narrowed her eyes and was to reorganize her thoughts when Meng Lipiao's maid caught up from behind. She hesitated for a moment and whispered something in Meng Lipiao's ear.Being engrossed with the proceeding of her scheme, Meng Liti didn't show much care to the maid who had been sent to investigate Meng Guihan's dubious deeds.She snapped her gaze back when Meng Lipiao emanated rapture and blurted out, "Your Highness, let's just say that Xu Baom
"I really didn't expect the nieces of Her Grace Empress Dowager and the cousins of Her Grace Empress to do something like this!" As soon as Meng Liti finished speaking and Meng Guiyu was about to speak, Sheng Weiqiao suddenly raised her chin slightly. Staring at her face, she said with disdain, "Won't you be afraid that the things that you do will hurt the reputation of the two Graces?""You shameless sl*t! Don't change the subject!" Meng Lipiao hated Sheng Weiqiao a lot because of her previous experience. At this moment, she retorted before Meng Liti said something, "Now we are talking about your dirty things, but you try to talk about us! You must be in a guilty conscience and want to make a mess of things so that they will end up with nothing definite! Do you think we can't see through your thoughts?"Thinking of the excuse Huan Yehe had just made for them, she took advantage of it, "You even pretended to say that you were worried about the reputation of
Sheng Weiqiao glanced at Huan Yehe suspiciously, stepped closer and only saw that Xu Caikui and Sheng Weirao were fishing while Gongsun Yingjiang was nowhere to be seen.Although there were more than a dozen people here including the masters and servants, all of them held their breath and kept surprisingly quiet for the fear of shocking the fish. Even if they saw Sheng Weiqiao and Huan Yehe, they only nodded slightly."Why are they so serious?" Sheng Weiqiao was surprised. Although the noisy environment was not suitable for fishing, they were not real fishermen who made a living by fishing after all. They were just fishing for fun. Did they need to be so serious?Fortunately, at this time, Xu Caikui handed the fishing rod to the maid, got up, and whispered, "Sister Weiqiao, you are back. Let's talk over there."They two walked to the side, and then Sheng Weiqiao asked, "Are you having a competition? You look so quiet and pru
When Sheng Weiqiao slowly regained consciousness, she only found that she was aching all over.Well, there was no time for her to recall what had happened to her before she lost consciousness. A row of people appeared before her eyes and asked her at the same time, "Third Sister, how are you feeling?""Kangzhao, it is me to blame for this matter. I have not managed my residence well. I am so sorry! Are you all right?""Her Highness just called the imperial doctor. And he said that you just had superficial wounds. Well, you might as well check if you feel any pain in your bones or other parts of your body.""Your Highness, would you like some water?""Weiqiao, are you aching? Are you feeling unwell?"Being surrounded by the Grand Princess Wuyang, Xu Caikui, Sheng Weirao, Huan Yehe and Zhao Taoxuan, Sheng Weiqiao got confused, who just came round, with plenty of questions. Besides, the overwhelming he
Seeing Sheng Weiqiao's action, the crowd stared at each other and looked bewildered.At last, Huan Yehe took the responsibility for a decision. She asked Sheng Weirao to stay here and nurse Sheng Weiqiao. And then she indicated to the other people that they might as well quietly withdraw from this room."Do you know why Meng Sisters devised such a vicious scheme?" When they got out of the room, Huan Yehe gave others an account of this matter in low voice, "Just now, I only briefly described what happened in Her Highness' presence. Well, you probably have no idea of the specific inside scoop. You know why Twelfth Miss Meng was diametrically opposed to Princess Deping at the banquet, right?"Seeing that the crowd nodded, she heaved a sigh, "Not long ago, Princess Kangzhao left the banquet for some reason. And several moments later, Yichun Marquis left the banquet specially to catch her. Well, Princess Kangzhao did not think too much about it. See
While Meng Guiyu and the others tried to do their best to convince Xu Baomo, Grand Princess Wuyang had brought Gongsun Yingjiang back to the dwelling, which is next to Sheng Weiqiao’s temporary housing.Considering that Sheng Weiqiao was so uncomfortable that she lied on the bed at the moment, the Grand Princess didn't want Weiqiao to faint from the shock of seeing her niece's mess, so they didn't go to Weiqiao's room. On the other hand, she knew there were several girls in Weiqiao’s room. Even if these people had good intentions, Gongsun Yingjiang was really not suitable for showing up in crowded places at this moment.While the servant was going to prepare hot water, Grand Princess Wuyang and Gongsun Yingjiang had a long heart-to-heart talk, just like the mother and daughter had a long conversation all night on the eve of her biological daughter's marriage. The main idea of the conversation was to cheer her up. She taught Gongsun Yingjiang not to give up
As soon as Madam Nan heard that Grand Princess Wuyang had invited her to discuss important things in Ningwei Marquis Mansion, she felt her heart did a flip. She guessed that something must have happened to the children of the Sheng Family and Xu Family at the banquet.The servant who came to send the invitation refused to reveal details and only said that the Grand Princess Wuyang would tell her in person. But even a fool knew that the situation was very serious. Madam Nan was so nervous that she didn't even change her clothes when she went out and followed the servant to go to the Mansion of the Grand Princess Wuyang.The five Mansions of Ningwei Marquis, Wuan Marquis, Chengyang Marquis, Gaomi King and the Grand Princess Wuyang were all in the south of the city. They were not far away from each other. However, Madam Nan arrived first because of her anxiety.When she arrived at the Mansion, the Grand Princess Wuyang told her the ins and outs of
