Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

Meng Dong and Lu Yue helped put down the tea and snacks, and brought stools for Bi Tao and Bai Ying.

"I was chatting with Miss Dong about some affairs in the house." Lu Yue didn't want to mention Cui Qishao again.

Bitao just asked casually, without going into details, and brought a cup of tea to Dong Jiafu, "Miss Dong, this is tea brewed according to the method you taught me. Try it."

Dong Jiafu took it and took a sip, "Sister Bitao's tea tastes better than blue, and it tastes better than the tea I brew."

"Nothing can compare with the tea you brewed. After you left the Duke's Mansion, the prince has not drank tea brewed by others for several days..."

As if she realized what she said was inappropriate, Bitao quickly changed the topic.

The five of them hadn't sat together for a long time, and they chatted until noon before Dong Jiafu left.

Cui Qiyan went to the study to get something and left the house. When he came back in the afternoon, he was stopped by Mother Wu before he could enter Chenglin Pavilion.

"Your Majesty, Madam, please come over."

"What does mother want from me?"

Mother Wu looked hesitant, then she thought for a moment and said, "Today, a servant saw Miss Dong coming out of the Crown Prince's yard."

Mother Wu couldn't say more, but Cui Qiyan had roughly guessed the purpose of his mother calling him over.

"Thank you, Mother Wu, for letting me know. I'll follow you there right away."

When they arrived at Ruihe Courtyard, Mother Wu walked in front, "Madam, the Crown Prince is back."

The eldest lady paused with the fan in her hand and glanced at Mother Xu next to her.

Mother Xu understood and said to the maids waiting in the room: "You all can go down."

The maids put down what they were doing and retired respectfully.

"Mother." Cui Qiyan stepped forward with a calm expression.

The eldest lady looked at him with a serious expression, "Qi Yan, mother rarely asks about your affairs.

, in the eyes of your mother, you have always been a measured child, but I didn’t expect you to be so stubborn in emotional matters. "

"If mother has something to say, just say it."

"Are you still unable to let go of Miss Dong?" The eldest lady put down her fan, stood up, and said straight to the point, "You let her go to your yard today, Qi Yan, you can't be confused. She is the one who is engaged, no matter what No matter how much you like her, we can't do something as unethical as taking someone else's wife."

The eldest lady's words were just as Cui Qiyan expected. She had indeed misunderstood.

"I forgot to tell my mother that Dong Jiafu is not engaged. She went to Chenglin Pavilion to meet Bitao and others."

"What did you say?" The eldest lady looked in disbelief, "Isn't she going to be engaged to Feng Meng's son?"

"cancelled."

"Why was it cancelled? Don't the relationship between their two families be very good?" The eldest lady was very surprised.

"The relationship between Dong Jiafu and Feng Jiyuan is not always between a man and a woman, and the cancellation of the engagement was also the result of their discussion."

After hearing this, the eldest lady breathed a sigh of relief and said, "So that's it. Why didn't you tell me earlier? You made me worry for a long time."

"It was my negligence. I've been upset recently and forgot to mention it."

"You should be happy that Miss Dong is not engaged. Why are you upset?"

Cui Qiyan was silent, "Although she is not engaged to anyone, she is still distant from me. It is because of some things I did and said before that she can't believe me."

"What should we do?" The eldest lady was also worried, why did the two of them have so many twists and turns.

"My mother doesn't have to worry about her and me. I know what to do."

"Okay, then I don't care.

. "The eldest lady waved her hand.

Ever since she learned that Lu Siheng had brought a brothel girl into the Zhongjing Hou Mansion, Li Mizhen had been having trouble sleeping and eating. That day, she received a post from Zhongjing Hou's wife Zhou, inviting her to attend a play at the house. She finally had a chance. Go meet that woman.

Also receiving the news were Lu Siheng and Qing Yan.

At night, Lu Siheng came to Qing Yan's room.

"Sir, my wife is inviting a theater troupe to come to the house tomorrow. I heard that a lot of people have been invited. She even sent Mother Wang to tell me that I should go and listen tomorrow."

Lu Siheng sat opposite her, tapping his knuckles on the table lightly and saying, "She can't sit still anymore. She invited people to your home to see you, just to completely stink me."

"Don't worry, young master, I won't let her succeed unless I go out tomorrow."

The corners of Lu Siheng's lips raised, "No, you have to go and dress up beautifully. Don't they want to see it? Just let them see as much as they can."

Qing Yan was puzzled, "Master, this is..."

"Don't worry, I will be there tomorrow and I won't let anyone bully you."

"Don't be afraid of Qingyan. When I was in Baihualou, there were so many men around me every year. Now it's just some ladies and girls. It's just a small scene for me. I can handle it."

"Don't underestimate these people, they are much more powerful than the men who go to Baihualou."

Qingyan smiled, even if she put on the most ordinary clothes, she could not hide her amorous feelings.

"Qingyan understands that the men in Baihualou will support me, and what they want is me. And tomorrow's lady invites women with high status. They look down on me, and they can't help but ridicule me when they see me. ”

What kind of situation will she encounter tomorrow?

All have foresight.

Lu Siheng stopped what he was doing and said, "If you don't want to go out and face them, there's no need to force it."

"Young master, you underestimate me too much. I am no longer the thirteen-year-old girl. I have never heard anything in Baihualou these years." Qingyan smiled as if she was talking about someone else, " Those people think they are of noble birth, even if I stood in front of them and asked them to speak, they would not be able to say anything unpleasant. "

"I came to the Marquis Mansion just to help the young master. Since the young master asked me to go out, I will dress up well tomorrow so that they can see me."

"Qingyan, I've wronged you." Lu Siheng said warmly.

Qing Yan shook her head, "If it weren't for Young Master, I wouldn't be alive today, so this grievance means nothing."

"It's getting late, you should rest." Cui Qiyan stood up, "If someone makes things difficult for you tomorrow, don't worry, just fight back. I'll be responsible for whatever happens."

"Well, I'll see the young master off." Qing Yan said with a smile.

On the second day, Mrs. Zhou got up early and led Mrs. Wang to direct the servants to prepare.

Nowadays, it is widely known that the evil man disobeyed her, her legitimate mother, and brought a brothel girl into the Marquis's residence. She was "depressed" and "sick" for several days, and people sent gifts and condolences from time to time. Now that she has recovered from her "illness", she organized this banquet to thank those who cared about her.

After an hour, people arrived one after another, and Mrs. Zhou warmly welcomed them in.

Li Mizhen, who was always the last one to attend such banquets, came early today. She was not interested in listening to the opera. What she wanted to see was people. Apart from the brothel woman, it would be great if she could also see Lu Siheng.

Mrs. Zhou saw the carriage of Prince Kang's Mansion and hurriedly walked down the steps.

, "It's really a blessing to have the county chief come."

Li Mizhen got off the carriage and said, "Mrs. Hou is too polite."
