[Red Mansion] Ronghua Road of Mrs. Hou's Mansion

Gu Xingchi didn't take it seriously, "Anyway, I don't want to hold a banquet, so it doesn't matter if I can't avoid people."

Isn't he afraid that Mrs. Gu will choose a lady to be his wife at will?

As if seeing through Sister Feng's conjecture, Gu Xingchi raised his head and sighed, "Anyway, I will only marry the girl I like, and grandma won't force me if I think about it."

Sister Feng didn't expect him to say that, she just smiled and said, "I don't know which young lady will be lucky enough to be so precious to Lord Hou in the future."

Gu Xingchi narrowed his eyes and looked at her.

Sister Feng only felt strange emotions appearing under his calm eyes, subconsciously avoided his gaze, and suddenly said: "There is one more thing I don't know yet."

Gu Xingchi's eyes regained clarity, "You want to ask about Miss Lin?"

Sister Feng nodded, "Is it at your behest that the Gu family sent invitations to Sister Lin in such a high-profile way?"

Gu Xingchi shook his head, "I just reminded the Jia family that the Lin family and the Jia family are not on the same boat."

Sister Feng frowned.

Gu Xingchi looked at her with deep eyes, "The Minister of the Household Department is old, and he will soon ask His Majesty to take up his post. Mr. Lin has been in charge of the Yangzhou Salt Administration for many years. job."

Sister Feng was slightly surprised, and after a while she smiled lightly and said, "Master Lin has been in Yangzhou for many years, it's time to return to Beijing."

This is very good, Lin Ruhai is not dead, and has been promoted, Daiyu's support has not fallen.As long as Lin Ruhai goes to Beijing, Daiyu doesn't have to rely on others to watch people's faces.

The two left the courtyard one after the other, and Sister Feng returned to the gazebo, only to find that there was no one there.

Sister Feng's first feeling was that Wang Xihe was disobedient and ran away, so she asked the maids around the gazebo. over there."

Together?Have you developed into good playmates with Lu Sirou so quickly?

Sister Feng thanked them and went to look for them.

Sister Feng walked much faster than usual, looking for people as she walked.Soon came to a lake, willows on the shore, flowers everywhere, fragrant.Her gaze stretched forward along the shore of the lake, and she saw many girls sitting on a pavilion on the water not far away, and there were two figures standing there, couldn't they be Wang Xihe and Lu Sirou?

Finally found someone, and before Sister Feng had time to breathe a sigh of relief, she heard a scream from the waterside pavilion, and then saw a person fall from the railing.

Sister Feng raised her heart, this person is clearly Wang Xihe!She screamed out anxiously.After a while, he found that Wang Xihe did not fall, it seemed that Lu Sirou was holding her.

Sister Feng's heart sank again, and at this moment, she also ignored her manners and hurried to the waterside pavilion.

As soon as she boarded the water pavilion, Sister Feng pulled Wang Xihe to her side and checked her up and down, "How is it? Did you get hurt anywhere? I watched you fall into the water from a distance, and it scared me to death! You How did you come here?"

Wang Xihe was still in shock, "Sister, I was not hurt, thanks to Sister Lu who saved me."

Only then did Sister Feng remember to thank Lu Sirou, Lu Sirou waved her hand generously, "It's just a small matter, I was by Xihe's side at the time, so I naturally had to lend a helping hand. But, if it was a moment late, Xihe would... "

Sister Feng stroked Wang Xihe's disheveled hair, and she still didn't forget to blame her, "Did you forget what Auntie said to you? I told you to wait for me obediently where you are, why didn't you listen to me? You are too careless Now, can you fall down like this? If I tell my aunt, see if she will punish you. "

Wang Xihe knew he was in the wrong, so he didn't dare to refute, he just whispered: "I don't know, I've been walking for a long time and I was fine, but when I was just taking a step, I suddenly felt my foot slip and fell down."

Such a soul-stirring scene happened, and the ladies present were frightened and dared not speak.Sister Feng was also silent, she lowered her eyes and looked at her feet, as if observing something.

After a long time, she was seen bending down, and the pleated skirt embroidered with intricate patterns hung down, covering a pair of exquisite embroidered shoes.Sister Feng paused for a moment with her outstretched hand, as if she noticed that the person sitting next to her trembled.With a snort, she quickly picked up a white pearl from the corner of the pillar, then stood up and smoothed her sleeves.

"Is it it?" I don't know whether it was intentional or inadvertent, Sister Feng glanced over the woman just now, and settled on Wang Xihe.

Wang Xihe nodded again and again, "Yes, at that time I felt that there were several pearls under my feet, but now it looks like pearls. But, why is there only one?" She looked around again, "Where did the others go?"

While talking, the other ladies searched back and forth out of curiosity, but found nothing.

"Why can't I find it?" Wang Xihe frowned dissatisfied.

Sister Feng's eyes were dark, "Isn't it more surprising why there are pearls here than not being able to find a few other ones?" Her nails were shining like pearls in the sun, "Pearls are rare things. Judging by the shape, luster, and color, it is really high-grade, could it be that the servant girl in the house left it unintentionally?"

At this time, a Miss Liu said: "There are a lot of ladies and wives who came to the banquet today, maybe they are the ones left behind."

Sister Feng smiled lightly, "I hope so."

Wang Xihe didn't know why, "What does my sister mean by that?"

Lu Sirou touched her with his arm, "Are you stupid? Since there are several pearls, we should have seen them when we first arrived here. How could someone drop them before?"

After saying that, she glanced at Ms. Liu, obviously refuting her words.

Miss Liu blushed, looked at Lu Sirou for a while, but didn't dare to say anything.

Lu Sirou said again: "Before we fell, we were standing in front of the railing."

After Lu Sirou reminded him like this, Wang Xihe suddenly realized, and immediately became a little angry, "You mean someone deliberately harmed me?"

Lu Sirou smiled and blinked.

Everyone whispered, Wang Xihe was silent for a long time, then turned to look at the woman opposite.

The woman was the one Sister Feng saw picking up the pearls, and she was the closest to Wang Xihe.

The fourth girl in Chen Guogong's mansion, Chen Yu.

Chen Yu stood up angrily, "Miss Wang Er, what do you mean?"

Wang Xihe was also full of anger, "What do you think?"

Chen Yu's voice was trembling, and he looked at Sister Feng and said, "Eldest girl, as the eldest sister of the second girl, is this how you teach Lingmei? Let her frame others at will without evidence."

As soon as this remark came out, some ladies who had good friends with Chen Yun joined in and accused Wang Xihe one after another.

Sister Feng glanced at these people, as if she didn't pay attention to them at all, "I think Fourth Miss Chen misunderstood? My sister didn't say anything, and Miss Fourth came to accuse my sister of framing you?"

Wang Xihe reacted, and said helplessly, "I don't know why the fourth girl reacted so violently."

Lu Sirou also said: "Only people with a guilty conscience would do this."

"You..." After hesitating for a long time, Chen Yun said, "I didn't!"

Sister Feng's voice was still gentle, "It's good not to have nature, and I also believe that according to the style of the Chen Guogong's family, the fourth girl must be a person with both talents and virtues just like the third girl."

Chen Yu hated Sister Feng in his heart, but when he heard Sister Feng's "praise", he could only accept it humbly.

Sister Feng took a panoramic view of her reluctance, and dragged the reluctant Wang Xihe away.

"Sister, in my opinion, she is obviously guilty. She wants to harm me. It doesn't matter if you don't avenge me. Why do you praise her? She is far worse than her third sister."

Lu Sirou chuckled, "She's a daughter of a concubine, so she can't compare to the third girl. This is not a compliment, it's obviously a mockery of her."

Sister Feng said: "Even if she did it, we have no proof. Besides, you have no grievances or enmities with her. I don't know why she wanted to harm you... Anyway, I will definitely vent my anger on you."

Wang Xihe nodded obediently, "But... can I not tell my mother first?"

Sister Feng turned her head and smiled lightly, "Are you afraid of being punished or are you afraid that your aunt will worry about you?"

While speaking, Lu Sirou pointed to the front and said, "Where are Mrs. Jiang and my mother?" She collected herself, and said, "Hey, there is another person, it seems to be my second brother."

Sister Feng also followed her gaze, and saw Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Lu sitting among the green trees in a place rarely seen by people, and a man standing in front of them.Inexplicably, she had a bad premonition in her heart.

She was about to say not to disturb the elders chatting, when she saw Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Lu looking over here.
