The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Wan Lianxing held the jade pendant in one hand, and his tone was a bit solemn. He looked at Zhong Siyu and said, "This is something I always keep with me. Girl, please keep it."

Zhong Siyu's brain seemed to be broken, and she spread her hands blankly, and then a snow-gray jade pendant was placed on her hand.

At this time, the sun was shining brightly and it was warm. The cold feeling brought by the jade pendant was transmitted through Zhong Siyu's palms to her limbs and bones, refreshing her body. Her body was trembling slightly, but her palms were sweating.

By the time Master Zhong and Mrs. Zhong arrived, Wan Lianxing had already disappeared without a trace.

Mrs. Zhong looked anxious, "Yu'er, what did you say to the Marquis? Why did the Marquis leave after staying here for so long?"

Pearl quickly defended her young lady: "This matter has nothing to do with the young lady. The young lady didn't say anything. I bear witness."

Mrs. Zhong was anxious, "You girl, I told you to talk less, but I didn't tell you not to speak. You didn't say anything. Isn't this a missed opportunity? But what should I do?"

Zhong Siyu nervously held her hands up to her chest, then spread her hands tremblingly, and there was a five-bat jade pendant lying inside.

"The Marquis gave it to me."

Zhong Siyu nodded vigorously.

Mrs. Zhong said happily: "Ah! It's done, it's done. Lord Marquis is interested in our Yu'er. Our Yu'er is indeed a blessed person."

Mr. Zhong was in a happy mood. If he could marry Wan Lianxing, the official career of the Zhong family would be even better.

Pearl was even more happy, "Great, great, our young lady is going to be the Marquis's wife." She grabbed their young lady's arm and jumped up and down happily.

Wan Lianxing returned to the Hou Mansion in a good mood.

Mrs. Wan had been waiting for him in the main hall for a long time, and he had taken into account his sister-in-law's thoughts.

"Leng Xing, when you enter the palace today, did the emperor say anything?"

Wan Liexing acted as if nothing happened, "I didn't say anything."

"Then have you met Princess Zhuoyang?"

Wan Lengxing said, "I haven't seen her. What are you doing seeing her? The emperor and I are talking about national affairs."

Madam Wan said: "Is Princess Zhuoyang okay?"

Wan Lianxing said: "She is a high-ranking princess, and she lives like a fairy every day. What's wrong with her?"

Mrs. Wan said: "Then did she eat well?"

Wan Lengxing said: "I have never seen her go hungry. She has never treated me badly since she was a child."

Mrs. Wan said to herself: "That's not right, how could this happen?"

Wan Lengxing said: "Okay, sister-in-law, don't worry about whether others eat or not. You should care about me first. I'm still hungry."

"You haven't eaten yet?"

Wan Lianxing: "There's no place for me to eat."

"Is there anything you want to eat?"

Wan Lianxing said, "I don't have much appetite in this scorching sun. Just give me a bowl of porridge and a plate of pickles."

"Aren't you going to eat in the dining hall?"

"The sun outside is too poisonous. I'll just take a bite here."

Mrs. Wan had no choice but to pass the food to him.

As soon as Mrs. Wan left, Wan Liexing picked up a piece of snack on the plate and started eating it.

The attendant said: "Master Marquis, can you be full just by eating a bowl of porridge? Why don't you pass on something else?"

Suiying also said: "Yes, you are so hungry, why don't you eat something good?"

Wan Lianxing glanced at Suiying and then at Suiying, "Do I have a hungry wolf?"

"Have."

"Have."

Seeing the two people answering in unison, the half piece of snack left in his hand stopped at his mouth. This must be because he looked too ugly when eating.

The entourage handed Wan Lengxing a handkerchief and said, "Master Marquis, wipe your mouth first. After wiping, you can continue to eat."

Wan Lianxing touched his mouth and his mouth was really full of dregs. He took the handkerchief handed by the attendant and wiped his mouth.

"Come along, don't be idle. Go and call Cheng Feng and Shang Xi, as well as Bai Qian and Boss Qian."

"now?"

"Yes, right now."

The attendant said: "Master Hou, after the meal is finished, should I call them again?"

"Right now, go and run."

"alright."

The people who were summoned met at the door. Boss Qian said, "Were you also summoned?"

"You were also called here by my uncle?"

"Yeah, nothing happened."

"Go in and have a look."

……

"Uncle, do you want something to happen to us?"

When Wan Lengxing heard the noise outside, he closed his eyes and leaned on the back of his chair, waiting for them to come in. At this time, he looked gloomy and gloomy. When he saw everyone talking to him, he slowly opened his eyes.

Wan Lengxing sighed first, and then said, "You guys should sit down first."

It seemed that he had something troublesome to talk about, but Wan Lianxing rarely had to discuss things with everyone that he couldn't handle. What would happen today? Several people were guessing in their hearts.

At this time, a servant came in and said softly: "Master Marquis, your food is here, do you want to eat it now?"

Wan Lianxing asked them first: "Have you all eaten?"

Everyone said they had eaten, and Wan Lianxing said: "Since you have all eaten, I won't let you. Bring the food in."

As soon as he finished speaking, a servant carried an exquisite red rosewood round tray. The carvings on it were lifelike and exquisite, and it was priceless at first glance. It held a white jade plain noodle bowl, a white jade plain noodle plate, and a handful of white jade. A spoon and a pair of white jade chopsticks.

Shang Xi observed carefully, but he couldn't understand what Wan Lianxing was eating.

Cheng Feng said: "Uncle, why did you eat clear porridge and pickles today?"

Shang Xi was surprised that such a beautiful and valuable vessel contained this. She thought she had seen it wrong just now. In her imagination, only jade of this kind could be worthy of such a fine jade.

Two simple foods were placed on the table next to Wan Lianxing.

Looking at the food on the table, Wan Liexing sighed again: "You have been living here with me for a few months, right?"

Cheng Feng said: "There is more than April and less than May."

Wan Lengxing said: "My uncle is just an ordinary prince. He doesn't have much real power or much ability."

Everyone listened attentively. Why did Wan Lianxing, who had always been arrogant and lawless, start to belittle himself today? Well, his mouth was not made to disparage himself. His mouth was made to hurt others.

Wan Lianxing said: "My uncle's monthly salary is extremely meager, and it is difficult to afford such huge personnel expenses."

The four people sitting on both sides didn't know what was going on and looked at each other. What does this mean? Is it because they are short of money or are they driving people away? Why do they become more and more confused the more they listen?

Wan Lianxing picked up the white jade bowl at hand and scooped it up with a jade spoon.
