Chapter 97 By Your Name
When Jing Se followed Uncle Liu to the Chu Palace Academy, she stood outside the door and saw Hao Hao sitting on a chair with his short legs hanging in the air, and Fan Chen was sitting not far from Hao Hao, sitting upright, the winter sun broke through layers of haze and Come, gently drape over his shoulders, in the soft light, you can only see a faint luster on his skin, which is whiter than the moonlight, which is breathtaking.

Haohao listened to his master's teaching "Children's Qionglin", and glanced at Fanchen from time to time. Seeing that he was sitting upright and looking good, he frowned, and his short legs stretched to the ground. He couldn't reach it, and accidentally tripped over the chair under his feet, so after a while, he and the chair fell to the ground, Haohao ate a mouthful of ashes, and he got up twice and patted his clothes.

Fan Chen was originally reading with his head down, but when he heard the sound, he raised his eyes and saw Hao Hao's blushing face staring at him, he was a little surprised for a moment.

The gentleman also looked down at this time, "Huh?" and asked him, "Haohao, did you understand what I taught you just now?"

Haohao patted Xiaoyi again, raised his chin and said, "Understood."

The gentleman closed the book, and said in a pleasant manner: "Then I will test you, and you tell me, what are the five clans and what are the nine clans?"

Without even thinking about it, Haohao replied confidently, "Five relationships, monarch and minister, father and son, brother, friend, couple; nine clans, Gao, Zeng, Zu, Kao, Jishen, son, grandson, Zeng, and Xuan."

The master twirled his beard in satisfaction, and asked him again: "What do you call the existence of parents? What do you call the development of children and grandchildren?"

Haohao pouted and didn't speak.

The husband looked puzzled, "But you can't answer?"

Haohao shook his head and muttered, "Haohao doesn't have both parents, so he refuses to answer this question."

Fan Chen gently closed the pages of the book, his phoenix eyes gradually narrowed, his thin lips were slightly pursed, and his eyes were thoughtful.

Seeing Haohao's puffy face and seeing Fanchen's expression changed, Mr. quickly picked up the topic, "Okay then, let's learn astronomy."

Only then did Haohao bend down, and awkwardly raised the chair and sat back, with obvious displeasure on his face.

The master opened the book and read: "The chaos is just opened, and the universe is laid. The lighter qi rises to the sky, and the heavy turbid qi to condense is the earth..."

Only then did Haohao open his small mouth and follow along.

Jing Se saw this scene completely, and for a moment forgot that the big housekeeper of Chu Palace was standing next to him, frowned and murmured, "This brat has lost his temper in front of Mr."

Butler Liu happened to hear this sentence, he was worried that the future concubine would dislike young master Haohao, so he quickly explained: "Master Great-grandson is not like this, it's just that he feels emotional because his parents are not around."

Jing Se suddenly came to her senses when she heard Steward Liu's voice. She was startled, and secretly gasped, thankful that she didn't say anything.

Fan Chen has already noticed the movement outside, he raised his eyes, and met Jing Se's eyes.

At that moment, Jing Se suddenly felt suffocated for breathing, she hurriedly looked away and turned to leave.

Fan Chen quickly stood up and walked out, and asked her, "I just came, are you planning to leave now?"

"I see you don't have time, let's try another day." Jing Se walked forward with her head sullen, not daring to look back at him.

She didn't know why, but she had already thought of many questions and wanted to ask him, such as the account books, and his recovery.

But for some reason, when she really saw him, she realized that she was very flustered in her heart. She obviously had done nothing wrong, but she was guilty for no reason, and she didn't dare to look at him directly. Forgot all about it.

Fan Chen stood on the spot, looking at her uncomfortable back because of the panic, smiled without a trace, and asked: "I didn't get the answer I wanted, can you sleep when you go back?"

Jing Se was taken aback for a moment, then mustered up the courage to turn around and stare at him, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Fan Chen raised his eyebrows, "Didn't you come today to ask me about the account books?"

Jing Se pursed her lips, noncommittal, since he could tell the account books, the thing hidden under the bed that night was his masterpiece.

Seeing his calm posture, Jing Se scolded herself secretly, that she would have stage fright at such a time, she is not as majestic as she used to be a woman!
Taking a deep breath, Jing Se closed her eyes and opened them again, discarding the messy thoughts in her mind, her eyes were clear, she took a few steps forward, stood two steps away from him, looked up He said lightly, "That's right, I'm here to ask about the account book."

Fan Chen lightly picked his thin lips, "Why don't you ask if I will answer you?"

Jing Se frowned, "Then will you answer me?"

"No." Fan Shen said.

Jing se gritted her teeth and turned to leave.

Fan Chen called her again.

Jing Se turned around with a dark face, and glared at him, "Can you just pretend that I haven't been here today?"

"No." He was flat and calm, with two words indifferent.

Jing Se gritted her teeth, blushed with anger, and looked at him sideways, "What on earth do you want? I said I came to ask you about the account books, but you refused to answer. I said I was leaving, but you refused again. You man Are you sick?"

Fanchen looked at her, pondered for a moment, and said, "Isn't it sick, I just feel a little..."

"Something?" Jing Se became vigilant and took two steps back.

"Somewhat hungry." He added.

Jing Se was taken aback for a moment, then regained consciousness for a moment, "Then I'd better leave earlier."

After taking a step with his left foot, Fan Chen said slowly: "I have a habit, when I'm hungry, I don't even say a word that should be said, and when I'm not hungry, I can say what I shouldn't. speak out."

Jing Se withdrew her feet, collected herself, turned around again, and smiled, "Then, what exactly does the Master mean?"

Fan Chen pointed to the outside of the wall, "I saw plum blossoms blooming just right on the path you passed by when you came."

Jing Se smiled reluctantly, "Okay." In order to know the secrets of the account books, it's like serving the ancestors.

After inquiring about the location of the kitchen, Jing Se slaughtered a black-bone chicken with a knife and stewed it on the fire, and then took a bamboo basket to the garden to pick white plums.

Fan Chen was sitting in the pavilion, holding a book in his hands, and read it seriously, with that unmoving Qingyue posture, as if he could no longer see other people and things except the book.

Jing Se looked up at him from time to time, grinding her teeth while picking plum blossoms, and crushed Fan Chen several times as if they were plum blossoms in her hand.

She didn't understand, she was always calm, why when she saw this person, her teeth were itchy, and she was so angry that she wished she could beat him up to relieve the hatred in her heart, but where did this hatred come from, Jing Se couldn't find the root cause , I just feel that I hate it inexplicably.

After finally picking enough white plums, Jingse went back to the kitchen and soaked the white plum petals and sandalwood powder together. After the juice came out, she discarded the dregs and used a copper basin to get the juice and knead the noodles to make wonton wrappers. He also took a plum-shaped iron chisel and chiseled the wonton wrapper into a beautiful plum-shaped shape and boiled it in clear water. After the wonton wrapper was penetrated, he scooped up a large spoonful of stewed black chicken clear soup and poured it on the wonton wrapper.Only then did he fetch the food box, carefully put the hot bowl in it and walk towards the pavilion with it.

Fan Chen just turned to the last page of the book, and when he looked up, he saw her open the food box, and a refreshing scent of black-bone chicken mixed with the scent of plum blossoms wafted out.

"What is this?" Fan Chen asked.

"Plum blossom soup cake." Jing Se pushed the bowl in front of him, and replied angrily.

Seeing that he was about to eat, she hurriedly said: "Let's make an agreement first, after a while you have to tell me what happened to that account book."

Fanchen raised his eyebrows.

Jing Se's pupils shrank slightly, "What do you mean?"

Fan Chen pointed to the bowl on the table, and said slowly: "You seem to have forgotten to bring me a spoon and chopsticks."

Jing Se said "ah", "How is that possible? I obviously let it go." After finishing speaking, he glanced at the table, but he did not see the spoon and chopsticks.

Fan Shen fell silent and looked at her with a strange look in Jing Se's eyes.

Jing Se got goosebumps all over her body, stood up with shaking arms and walked out of the pavilion. After leaving Fan Chen's sight, she deliberately walked slowly, hoping to wait until the soup cakes were lumpy so that he could see if he could eat them.

Leisurely admiring the plum blossoms all the way, Jingse took a cup of tea before going to the kitchen to get the spoon and chopsticks, and another cup of tea before walking to the pavilion, but saw that the fine white porcelain bowl was empty, There is an exquisite spoon in the bowl, and a pair of expensive ivory chopsticks are placed on the bowl.

Clenching the two chopsticks as loud as teeth grinding, Jing Se sat down opposite him and asked angrily, "Where did you get the spoon and chopsticks?"

"Go to my yard to get it myself." Fan Chen pointed to the yard where a few green bamboos were growing not far away, and raised his eyes to look at her unhurriedly, "Do you have a problem with my spoon and chopsticks?"

"Very much!" Jing Se squeezed out two words from between her teeth.She never thought that this person's cleanliness was so serious that all the dining utensils were exclusive to her.But what annoyed Jing Se even more was that he didn't say that chopsticks and spoons had to be fetched from his yard at all, which made her happy in vain, thinking that he could be cured, but it turned out to be empty joy.

"What's your opinion?" Fan Chen asked.

Jing Se said bitterly: "I have a problem with the owner of the spoon and chopsticks!"

Fan rested his chin and looked at her leisurely.

Jing Se couldn't bear it any longer, she exploded directly, stood up and asked angrily, "Why didn't you just say that this thing is in your yard?"

Fan Chen seriously reflected on it, and just when Jing Se thought he was repenting and was about to apologize, he said six words slowly, "I remember you didn't ask."

At this moment, Jing Se finally understood why Jing Wan Bai would show an expression of wanting to swallow her alive every time she was silenced by her.

Come to think of it, my mood of wanting to eat human flesh now is the same as Jing Wanbai's mood back then.

With thousands of villains in his heart, Jing Se barely calmed down, "Well, you eat the plum blossom soup cake too, now you can talk about the account books, right?"

It was rare for Fan Chen to be able to use his tongue anymore, "What do you want to hear?"

Jing Se said: "I just want to know why the account books are in your hands."

"Miss Lou gave it to me." Fan Chen glanced at her and asked, "Have you ever heard of the female minister Xia Mu?"

Jing Se was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, "I've heard about it, what's wrong with the girl?"

Fan Chen asserted: "I said that the female minister is a big traitor, do you believe it?"

Jing Se choked in her throat and coughed after a while, her face flushed.

"Be patient for now, save it for a while and cough together." Fan Chen reminded gently and kindly, and then said to himself: "Three years ago, the fourth prince's people opened an iron mine in Fufeng Mountain privately. This incident was discovered by the Orion of Zaohua Village at the foot of the mountain. In order not to expose the incident, the fourth prince simply ordered the massacre of the village. In order to destroy the evidence, he dug a hundred people's grave, buried all the villagers' corpses in the ground, and then set fire to the village. Overnight, that village completely disappeared, and everyone disappeared, as if no one had ever lived in that place. I happened to pass by at that time, and secretly rescued a girl named Li, who was the The daughter of an Orion, she followed me to Jinling."

"And then?" Jing Se was terrified when she heard that, she knew about Gu Qian's private opening of the iron mine. At that time, Gu Gan had just started to gain momentum, and urgently needed to secretly recruit troops. There were many places to spend money, so it was a helpless move to open the iron mine privately. Besides, Gu Gan told her himself that he had only been mined a little bit by someone, and Emperor Taihe would never notice it.

Gu Qian didn't say that he had ordered Tucun to kill so many people overnight.

Now that I think about it, this man is simply a pervert. With the lives of so many innocent people in his hands, he can still sit in the high position of prince with peace of mind.

The more Jing Se thought about it, the more angry she became, and once again secretly annoyed that she was blind in her previous life!
Fan Shen let out a sigh of relief, "I don't know people well, they help the tyrants to abuse the people, and they harm the people. What is it if a woman is not a traitor?"

Although it was uncomfortable to be scolded like this, Jing Se had to admit that Fan Chen was right, so he also nodded, "You are right, the female minister is a treacherous minister, a great treacherous minister."

After finishing speaking, Jing Se looked at Fan Chen puzzled, "Since you said that the female minister is a traitor, why did you go to Pingjiang Mansion where she built a private house to find out about her? Could it be that you are interested in her?"

Fan Chen's expression remained unchanged, and he said as a matter of course: "Well, I am interested in her money. I once thought that a treacherous minister like a female prime minister is very rich, and might build a secret underground room in a private house to hide treasures, so I took the opportunity to search for it. I didn't expect her to be so poor that she didn't even leave a copper coin after her death."

Jing Se paused, "It seems that you have misunderstood the female phase a lot. If she was rich, would she still die so badly?"

"That's right." Fan Chen nodded in agreement, "She is so poor as a traitor, she deserves to die young."

The corner of Jing Se's mouth twitched slightly, and after a while, she returned to the main topic, "So, Miss Lou is the girl you rescued back then?"

Fan Shen nodded.

Jing Se suddenly realized that it was the wisest choice for Miss Lou to hand over the account books to Fan Chen, because she was just a weak woman, and she could not expose Gu Qian even with evidence, but the account books were not in Fan Chen's hands. Similarly, even though Fan Chen has resigned from office now, he is still a noble son of Chu Palace, and it would definitely be more effective with less effort if he came forward.

Thinking of this, Jing Se was puzzled again, and looked at Fan Chen with a frown, "Since it was given to you by Miss Lou, why are you so relieved to hand it over to me?"

"When did I say that I left it to you?" Fan Chen asked back.

Jing Se choked, "You tied that thing under the bed, and then went around to remind me that there are copper coins under the bed, isn't it just to hand over the account book to me?"

Fan Shen pondered and said: "I remember that I asked you to fetch it for me, but you insisted on not giving it to me. It is clear that you took my things by force. Why did I give them to you in a blink of an eye?"

Jing Se patted the table, "Fan Chen, can you show some face? When you were at the Right Prime Minister's Mansion that day, what did you say that asked me to fetch the account book for you?"

Fan Chen said slowly: "I asked you to help me get the copper coins. The copper coins will be tied to the account book. Taking the copper coins is equivalent to taking the account book."

Jing Se happened to be carrying the silk thread tied with the copper coin, she dug into her sleeve pocket, took it out and stuffed it into his hand, "Pinch it, this is what you want, a copper coin."

Fan Chen opened his palms and looked at it, then fell silent.

It was rare for Jingse to see him deflated, and he felt secretly refreshed. He raised his eyebrows and said triumphantly, "How is it? Is it your own?"

Fan Shen fell silent.

Jing Se snorted disdainfully, "Why are you silent?"

"It's nothing." Fan Shen said quietly: "Seeing the copper coins come back, extreme joy begets sorrow."

Jing Se almost couldn't sit still, and suddenly stared, "What? You are extremely happy and sad? Your copper coin is a treasure, right?"

Fan Chen looked at her with weird eyes, and said quietly: "I'm talking about copper coins."

Jing Se was speechless for a moment, "Do you dare to be more boring?"

Fan Chen also cooperated and handed her the copper coin, "When you go back, tie this thing under the bed in the guest room where I lived in your house, and bring it back to me tomorrow."

Jing Se wished he could slap the man who spoke to Fan Chen a moment ago and go back to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.

How many sins did she commit in her previous life, and how many lifetimes of bad luck did she have to meet this kind of person?

Pretending not to see him handing over the copper coins, Jing Se stood up, straightened his clothes, and said, "I still have something to do today, and I will visit Old Prince Chu when I come here tomorrow, and you will know in front of him for me later." Let me know, lest the old man think I'm rude."

Fan Chen sat still, and asked, "Since when have you been polite in front of Grandpa?"

Jing Se thought about it seriously, "You're right, but then again, haven't I only met the old prince Chu once?"

"This means that your second meeting today is inevitable." Fan Chen stood up, "Let's go, I'll take you there."

Fan Chen would be so kind?
Jing Se glanced at him vigilantly, "Aren't you a road idiot? Can you find the courtyard of Old Prince Chu?"

Fan Shen looked down at her, and said in a light voice, "That was yesterday, and I'm back to normal today."

Jing Se thought of the scene where he was sent out of the house yesterday and was so angry, and thinking about what he said now, he suddenly felt like he was being played by someone.

"Fan Chen, do you know what my first impression is when I see you now?" Jing Se asked, suppressing the evil fire that had rushed to the top of her head.

Fan Chen suddenly showed a worried expression about her intelligence, "You have seen me so many times, but you haven't even summed up your first impression?"

"... If I talk to you first in the future, my surname will not be Jing!" Jing Se was so angry that his chest was about to explode, and he slammed down a sentence.

Taking advantage of his height, Fan Chen easily reached out and pulled the jade hairpin and hair flower off her head when she turned around angrily.

But after a while, Jingse's hair became loose, and her black hair fell down like a waterfall. In this state, she couldn't go out at all.

Jing Se couldn't bear it anymore, turned around and kicked him hard, "Fan Chen, are you sick?"

Fan Chen didn't dodge, and was kicked abruptly. He sat down, played with her jade hairpin and hair flower on his fingertips, and turned his eyes quite casually, "In the future, when you go out to introduce yourself , please remember to tell others that your surname is not Jing, but Fan."

Seeing the burning eyes of Jing Se, Fanchen raised his lips and smiled, "Do you remember? Princess Concubine? Huh?"

"Return my things!" Jing Se reached out to grab it.

Fan Chen adjusted his position and deftly avoided her struggle.

"You don't seem to have answered my question yet?" Fan Chen raised his eyebrows.

"Return my jewelry, I won't argue with you today." Jing Se frowned, "Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"

Fan Chen remained motionless, and asked: "When you are rude, what else can you do besides kicking people? Do you bite?"

"Aren't you still paying it back?" Jing Se stared at him coldly, almost regretting her bowels. If she had known that he would look like this after healed, she should have just made him a fool in the first place!

"What's your last name?" Fan Chen refused to let go.

Jingse's teeth were about to be gritted, "Fan! My surname is Fan! I and you are brothers and sisters, are you happy? Satisfied? Give me back my jewelry!"

Fan remained silent, looked away at the artificial lake behind, threw the flower with his left hand, and ripples appeared on the surface of the lake.

Jing Se became anxious, "Fan Chen, I'm not finished with you!"

Looking at the only palace hairpin left in his hand, Jing Se clenched her fists, and finally did not dare to be tough, "There is only one hairpin left, please return it to me, otherwise I won't be able to leave the gate today."

As if he had never heard of it, Fan Chen aimed the palace hairpin in the direction of the artificial lake, eager to try.

"Don't!" When he flipped his wrist and was about to throw it out, she exclaimed, and then looked at him with a bitter face, "Master, you are too bullying, should I say it's okay?"

With a stiff face and dull expression, Jing Se reluctantly said: "Use your surname, and give me my name."

With a smile in his eyes, Fan opened his white palm and returned the hairpin to her.

As expected, these words are still useful, Jing Se got the jade hairpin as he wished, and quickly left Chu Palace after cursing his hair in front of the lake.

Yingluo was waiting beside the carriage, and when she saw Jing Se coming out of it with a dark face, she was startled, and rushed to meet her, "Miss Biao, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay." Jingse waved her hand, "Yingluo, you can help me with my hair after getting in the carriage, otherwise the appointment will be released before I return home."

After Yingluo heard this, she turned her attention to her hair, with a slightly surprised expression, "This morning, the servant girl clearly helped the cousin put on a hair flower, why did she disappear?"

As soon as this was mentioned, Jing Se wanted to smoke, she sneered coldly, "It's nothing, it was stolen by a shameless thief."

Yingluo exclaimed, "Thief?"

"Don't ask too many questions." Jing Se had strode onto the carriage, raised the curtain and waved to her, "Come up and give me hair."

Yingluo came back to her senses, ran over to the carriage with small steps, took out the spare bronze mirror and ivory comb in the carriage, and began to re-do Jingse's hair.

"Miss Biao, has Brahman really recovered?" Yingluo said, "Your servant heard from the servants in the mansion yesterday that Brahma went to the front hall to pay respects to the Elder Master in person!"

"I don't think he recovered." Jing Se said, "On the contrary, he became even more crazy."

After following Jingse's side for such a long time, Yingluo could tell that she was acting out of anger. As for who she was angry with, Yingluo didn't know. Sit on the side obediently until you return to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.

*
The Duke of Jin is an important minister of the imperial court and has many friends in the family. This time when Su Ruoyu was released from prison, people came to visit one after another.

When Su Aoyu brought Jing Wanbai over, the outside of the main gate of the Duke's Mansion was already quite crowded, and the coachman finally found a place to stop the carriage.

After getting out of the carriage, she glanced at the lofty golden plaque of the Duke's Mansion. Su Aoyu was a little lost. If she had been born in this gate, the wheel of fate would have stopped somewhere else instead of developing into what she doesn't even want to be today. situation.

"Mother?" Seeing her distracted, Jing Wan Bai couldn't help calling softly.

Su Aoyu tilted her head, seeing Jing Wan Bai looking at her, she twitched the corners of her mouth, "Let's go in, let's go in and meet Mrs. Guogong."

Su Aoyu just took Jing Wanbai's hand and walked a few steps forward, the people who were talking at the gate noticed it, and immediately a young man in gray ran down to look at the two of them, and asked expressionlessly, "Where are you?" Which family has an invitation card in hand?"

Jing Wanbai frowned, and shouted angrily: "Presumptuous! You don't even know who this lady is? The Duke of Jin's mansion raised you bastards for nothing!"

The little servant didn't care who the other party was, and said angrily: "Our family is having a wedding today, and all the guests who came here have brought invitations. If the two of you don't have invitations, please come back another day. Mrs. Guo is afraid I have no time to entertain you."

Jing Wan Bai's face turned blue with anger, "Why are you talking!"

Su Aoyu tugged at her sleeves, and said kindly to the boy: "Please go in and report, just say that the wife of the right minister's mansion brought the prospective prince and side concubine to pay a visit to Mrs. Jin Guogong."

The young servant glanced at the clothes of the two of them, and muttered, "The Right Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Su Aoyu nodded.

"Then do you have an invitation card?" the servant asked again.

"Not at all." Su Aoyu said.

"Then you two wait outside the gate for a while, and I'll go in Tongbing right away." After the young man finished speaking, he quickly ran into the gate.

Jing Wanbai stared at the young servant's back, and said bitterly: "Mother, why did you agree to the old lady to suffer this anger? Look, what kind of people are there in Duke Jin's mansion, even a servant of the concierge You dare to be disrespectful to us, and you will go in after a while, and you will not be allowed to look at me, but I am the future prince and side concubine, why should I come to this kind of place to look at people?"

"Wan Bai!" Su Aoyu stopped her, "Today is an important occasion, many important officials and family members are here, please calm down."

"Mother!" Jing Wanbai bit his lips unwillingly, "The Duke of Jin's mansion is Jing Se's maternal ancestral home, not mine. She should have come here today, but she's lucky. As a shield, I took the opportunity to meet a man in the Prince of Chu's mansion, and let our mother and I come to this kind of banquet, what is this called?"

"Shut up!" Su Aoyu's eyes became sharper, and she frowned deeply, "You are a girl who has not left the court, what kind of tryst with a man, how can such words come out of your mouth?"

Jing Wanbai closed his mouth, and after a while he muttered again: "The last time I came out of the prison in Jingzhao Mansion, the Duke of Jin's Mansion didn't send someone to visit? This time it was Su Ruoyu, why should we The family has to bring gifts, and we don’t owe their family anything?"

Just as Jing Wanbai was talking, the boy who had gone in Tongbing came out, looked at the two of them, and said: "The lady of the country has ordered, there are many guests in the front yard, so as not to disturb the quietness of the two of you, please come with me .”

After speaking, the servant led the way.

Su Aoyu gave Jing Wanbai a warning look, and followed her up.

The young servant led the two of them around, and finally reached a warm pavilion next to the back room, and immediately a servant girl came in to serve tea.

The servant said: "Madame Guo said that the front yard is very busy with guests. If you don't mind, just wait a little while, and she will arrange someone to meet you later."

Su Aoyu smiled politely, "Thank you."

The boy saluted and left.

Jing Wanbai picked up the teacup, glanced around at the furnishings in the Nuan Pavilion, and then looked outside the door, but there was no sign of anyone coming over. She felt anxious and looked at Su Aoyu next to her, "Mother, we know each other clearly. She came to visit specially after Miss Su San was released from prison, but Mrs. Guo arranged for us to be alone in this place. What does she mean? Outsiders don't know, and they think that our Right Prime Minister's Mansion didn't arrange anyone to come here at all. This is not for us Is the Xiangfu discrediting it?"

Su Aoyu also frowned, and then sighed, "Forget it, we don't have an invitation card in hand, if we rush to the front yard, it will not be worth the loss if we make a joke at that time, since the Duke's wife ordered us to wait in the warm pavilion, then we will wait and see how the weather changes." It's still early, and she will never avoid it."

Jing Wan Bai lowered his eyes and didn't speak again.

The mother and daughter just sat in the warm pavilion and waited.

After the boy came out of the back room, he walked through many corridors to the Grand Duke's wife's Wanqing Garden to answer the question.

After hearing this, Mrs. Duke's eyes sparkled with joy, "Since I've been waiting, let them wait. There are many guests today, so naturally we have to entertain the guests first and then entertain their mother and daughter."

The boy understood, promised to back out.

Dong was a little worried, "Mother, if we treat the mother and daughter like this, will they take all their anger on Arthur when they go back?"

"She dares!" Mrs. Guo's eyes turned cold, "The last time girl Se came to the house to watch Ruoyu and Jili, I wanted to take care of Su Aoyu, an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf, but I couldn't find it. Opportunity, this time it's rare for her to take the initiative to come to your door, so we don't have to be polite, how she treated girl Se in the past, we will treat her today as we do, so as to teach her to open her eyes and see, even though girl Se, who lost her mother when she was young, still There is also a grandparent's family with a strong background, not just any cat or dog can be bullied at will."

The third wife, Ning, said: "Sister-in-law, I think what mother said is reasonable. It's not like you haven't missed Arthur's visit to the Duke's mansion last time. She has calluses all over her hands. What does that mean? It means that Arthur's life in the country It's a miserable life for servants, what Su said is totally unbelievable, Arthur is also our niece, she is our own family, so let a stepmother who is not what she looks like be bullied, if outsiders know , will only make fun of us as grandparents who are incapable of keeping a cousin girl."

Mrs. Dong thought about it carefully, and she also felt that it made sense. For a person like Su Aoyu, if you don't give her a good treatment, she will definitely not have a long memory.

"Then shall we meet in the past now?" Mrs. Dong asked Mrs. Jin for her opinion.

Mrs. Jin Guogong sneered coldly, "No! Let them wait for a while."

Ning's eyes rolled, and she smiled suddenly: "Mother, I think of someone, maybe I can work hard on her."

Mrs. Jin Guogong looked over, "Who is it?"

Ning Shi said: "It's the wife of the Imperial Envoy, Mrs. Zhao, she came here last time when Ruoyu and Ji Li were here, and she brought her daughter here today. Speaking of which, Mrs. Zhao and Su Shi were still good friends in the past. Afterwards, I didn't deal with it very much. Mrs. Zhao even hated the Su family. It all stemmed from the Hundred Flowers Banquet hosted by the empress herself the year before last, and all official ladies of high rank had the opportunity to show up in the palace. At that time, the whole In Jinling City, Jing Wanbai, the third lady of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, and Zhao Nian, the second lady of the Deputy Imperial Envoy's family, are the most beautiful and talented. Of course, Zhao Nian is no exception. She danced the neon dress dance, which was originally the most amazing performance in the audience, and even surpassed Jing Wanbai's harp performance. All the ugly things in front of everyone made the empress displeased, and she was let out early. Jing Wanbai naturally became the leader of the Hundred Flowers Banquet, and the empress praised on the spot, "The most beautiful woman in the Western Qin Dynasty, Wan Bai." Well deserved', since then, Jing Wanbai became famous. Madam Zhao later checked secretly, and found out that the person who tampered with Zhao Nian's clothes was Jing Wanbai. Since then, she has never had any contact with the Su family. Occasionally we have to meet each other as a last resort, and our words are always smug, and there is absolutely no good color."

After hearing this, Mrs. Guo raised the corners of her lips coldly, "It's a pretty good idea for these two people to meet."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Mrs. Dong, "Boss, daughter-in-law, you can make arrangements now, and make sure these two enemies meet."

Mrs. Dong understood, and immediately went to the guest table in the front yard.

Mrs. Fu Ningbo came to the banquet in person, Second Mrs. Yao was sitting and laughing with her in the room, Mrs. Zhao was also there, and Zhao Nian was in the room with Su Ruoyu who was not in a good mood.

Seeing Mrs. Dong coming in, Mrs. Yao quickly stood up and asked, "Sister-in-law, are you here at this time, are you doing something?"

Mrs. Dong said hello to Mrs. Fu Ningbo, then called Mrs. Yao out, and whispered in her ear the explanation of Mrs. Guogong's wife.

After hearing this, Mrs. Yao narrowed her eyes slightly, and said: "Success, leave this matter to me, isn't it time to arrange guests to sit in? Mrs. Zhao's seat is in the Xici room in my yard, you go and take it Su Clan also arranged for them to come over, and I will not arrange any other guests for a while, I will only make room for the four of them to fight."

Dong couldn't help but chuckle, "You, you just have a lot of tricks."

Yao shi covered her lips and smiled, "Didn't mother order me to come down? Besides, Arthur helped us so much and gave us the opportunity to visit Ruoyu in prison. I haven't had time to find the opportunity to thank her. No, here's the opportunity."

"That's fine." Dong said: "You have to be careful, don't mess it up, I'll go to the back room to hire someone."

Yao shi said: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, she won't be smashed."

Dong shi couldn't help but laugh, and went straight to the back room after leaving Yao shi's yard.

Jing Wanbai had already refilled the second cup of tea, but she still didn't see anyone coming, she got impatient, stood up and said: "Mother, I think Mrs. Jin is deliberately making things difficult for us, we have to wait for you Wait, I can't stay any longer, I want to go back home!"

Just as Su Aoyu was about to speak, a servant girl came to report outside, "Madam Right, our eldest lady is here."

Jing Wanbai's face looked better now, Su Aoyu breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly stood up.

Dong Shi came over quickly.

Seeing Su Aoyu, Dong smiled politely, "Sorry, I'm really sorry to keep you waiting for so long."

Su Aoyu hurriedly said: "It's okay, there are so many guests in the Duke's Mansion today, it's normal that we can't entertain."

Dong's eyes flickered slightly, and his smile deepened, "The guests will be seated soon, the seats for the two of you have been arranged, please follow me."

Su Aoyu smiled copiously, and pulled Jing Wanbai to follow.

There is a long distance from the back room to Yao's courtyard. Su Aoyu browsed the carved beams and painted buildings in the Duke's mansion while walking, and then asked Dong, showing concern on his face, "Miss Su is in that prison. Didn't you suffer any pain?"

A coldness flashed in Dong's eyes, and the smile remained unchanged, "Ruoyu is innocent in the first place, even though the prison is cruel, but the king's law still exists, and the good people will not be wronged innocently, the jailers naturally dare not do anything to her. .”

Although Dong's sarcasm was not too explicit, Jing Wan Bai still felt wrong no matter what he heard, and he was extremely angry in his heart, so he asked: "I heard that Miss Su San was punished because she went out of the house to meet Princess Qinghe in private for a tryst. It's hard, auntie, is there such a thing?"

Dong's face froze slightly, and she smiled for a moment, "Miss Jing San may have heard too many rumors and misunderstood it. The imperial decree to pardon Ruoyu was originally requested by Princess Qinghe in front of the Holy Majesty when she entered the palace. If she really wanted to let Ruoyu Death, how can you do this, isn't it inconsistent?"

Jing Wanbai could never have imagined that Su Ruoyu's pardon and acquittal were due to Princess Qinghe's credit. The Prime Minister's Mansion also prepared a reception banquet, but it was a pity that the bitch Jing Se disrupted the situation with a few words, and finally broke up unhappy.This time, Su Ruoyu's crime was obviously worse than hers, so how could she be pardoned by the Holy Spirit, and so many daughters of his wife came to visit?
No matter Su Ruoyu's appearance or talent, nothing can compare to her Jing Wanbai.

Gritting her teeth, Jing Wan Bai's eyes flashed a fierce look.

She couldn't even hold a complete reception banquet, and Su Ruoyu couldn't even hope to complete it!

Su Ruoyu doesn't deserve to be luckier than her!
Jing Wan Bai was distracted, so he listened to Dong who was leading the way: "Madam Right, Miss Jing San, the seats for the two of you are in the Xici Room, I have to go to another courtyard to greet guests, so I won't bother you It's time to use the seats, let's go in quickly."

Su Aoyu nodded politely at Dong Shi, opened the curtain and walked in, followed closely by Jing Wanbai.

As soon as she entered the room, Su Aoyu saw Mrs. Zhao and Miss Zhao Er sitting on her left, and her expression changed immediately.

When Mrs. Zhao saw that Su Aoyu and her daughter were sitting with their mother and daughter, she frowned all of a sudden, and tightened her fingers holding the teacup, but her face was calm and her smile remained the same, "Madam Right, I haven't seen you for a few days. Come all right!"
