Chapter 697 Chapter 697
The most heartless person is Pei An.
After a day of fun with my wife, everyone in Shaohua Garden was in high spirits, and everything returned to normal early the next morning.
Song Guanzhou stepped into the study again, looked at the Xiao family's accounts, touched his long braid, and thought it had to be done as soon as possible.
This illness delayed me for quite some time.
Not long after entering, Qi Yueniang came with Lanxiang. As soon as they entered the courtyard, Rendong came to greet them, "I greet the eldest young lady."
"Where's your young mistress? Is she feeling better today?"
Qi Yueniang is now decisive and efficient, speaks with a swift voice, and speaks much faster than before.
Ren Dong led him to the guest room, pointed at the study and whispered, "I ate some porridge and vegetables early in the morning, and then went to the study. I am getting better, so Madam, don't worry about me."
Qi Yueniang turned around and glanced at the study.
"Well, since I'm working, I won't look for her. I was just passing by here and came in to take a look."
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.
Honeysuckle hurriedly tried to persuade her to stay, "Madam, the young lady has just gone in. If there is anything, I will report it right away."
"We were planning to go to Wenxi Villa a few days ago, but things kept happening in the second house, so Auntie lost interest. After a few days of relaxation, someone came to ask about it again. I thought we should have prepared everything well in advance, so it would be okay for you to go there and relax. Come over and ask your young mistress, but it would be more lively if we go together."
As soon as the words fell, Honeysuckle frowned.
"Madam, you can go to the mansion with the Crown Prince's wife and the second young lady. My Madam and the Crown Prince's wife have never gotten along well, and it would only make things difficult for each other and spoil everyone's fun."
Qi Yueniang sighed, "I am also worried about this, but I think that if the people from the two mansions go out, there will be a lot of masters and maids, so just separate them."
Honeysuckle waved her hands repeatedly.
"My dear madam, they are not separated. Wenxi Villa looks quite big, but in fact, the masters only live in one place. They see each other everywhere. The wife of the prince is already unhappy."
Qi Yueniang listened and thought so too.
The two of them always quarreled and neither of them gave in. Last time they almost got into a fight.
That’s all!
"I asked the prince, he is free, so we can go together. It's OK if your fourth son and his wife don't go."
Wenxi Villa is now under the name of Song Guanzhou. If Xiao Yinxiu starts to make a scene, Pei Chen, with his bad temper, will be the first one to not let Xiao Yinxiu off. As an old couple, it would be really ugly if they make a big fuss.
"Don't worry, Madam Eldest Young Master. I, the Fourth Young Master, and Madam Young Master will report the truth."
Qi Yueniang held Rendong's hand and said, "You have always been prudent in doing things. Go back and tell your master that we have taken her land, but we did not leave her alone."
Honeysuckle nodded repeatedly.
"Don't worry, Madam Young Master. You have taken care of our master. She can't thank you enough."
"That's good. Guan Zhou is very magnanimous, so you just need to serve him well."
The master and servant exchanged some heartfelt words, and then Qi Yueniang left with Lanxiang. As soon as they returned to Kuoyuezhai, an unfamiliar old lady with half her face covered came over quietly.
Lanxiang was about to scold her when Qi Yueniang stopped her.
The old maid lowered her head and came to Qi Yueniang. Without any greeting, she brushed her body and trotted away.
All he left was a sentence, "The Crown Prince's wife has met the old lady."
This was a thunderous explosion that frightened the master and servant so much that they turned pale with fear. Then the figure flashed around the corner and disappeared without a trace.
Qi Yueniang just reacted, grabbed Lanxiang, and asked in a low voice, "Did you hear what the old woman said?"
Lanxiang looked puzzled.
"It seems that the Crown Prince's wife secretly met with the old lady——"
No way!
Qi Yueniang supported Lanxiang and was about to walk towards the small Buddhist temple. Lanxiang hurriedly asked, "Madam, are we going there just like this?"
Suddenly, Qi Yueniang stopped.
After a moment's pause, he called out to Lanxiang again, "Let's go back to the house."
The master and servant returned to the inner room and sat down. Qi Yueniang thought for a moment before whispering to Lanxiang. After hearing this, Lanxiang looked heavy-hearted and said, "Okay, don't worry. I'll go and take a look secretly."
"Don't let her see it."
Lanxiang nodded repeatedly, said nothing to anyone, and walked out with her head down.
She carried the food box and pretended to go to the kitchen, but actually turned to Zhengxian Pavilion, and then went around to the back door of the small Buddhist courtyard.
The place had been sealed off early on, and Lanxiang couldn't see anyone. She leaned over the door to listen and heard a little noise, but she couldn't hear it clearly.
She was very careful, concentrated and held her breath, walked around to a small pavilion on the side, bent over and looked down.
It took a lot of effort to finally see the main entrance of the Buddhist temple.
There were people guarding it and nothing unusual happened.
She crouched and hid in the bushes nearby, where she was scratched on the neck and cheeks by dead branches. Lanxiang endured the pain and stared straight at the gate of the small Buddhist temple.
I don’t know how long I waited, maybe a quarter of an hour, maybe even less.
When Lanxiang's legs and feet were numb, the door opened and the first person to come out was Doctor Zhao! Lanxiang opened her mouth to speak, but she reacted very quickly, biting her tongue and said nothing.
Then, she became a maid.
When the house was empty, the Crown Prince's wife was nowhere to be seen!
At noon, the north wind blew, and it was slightly chilly. Lanxiang huddled in the bushes, not daring to make any sound. She only trotted back when the small Buddhist temple returned to normal.
"Madam, I only saw Doctor Zhao and a maid."
"Maid?"
Qi Yueniang was puzzled, "Which one in the mansion is it? Can you recognize him?"
Lanxiang shook her head slowly.
"I was far away, but I saw that the maid kept her head down the whole time, and it was just that the way she walked was a little strange."
But I can’t tell which kind of weirdness it is!
Qi Yueniang was stunned, "That old woman said the young master's wife..." As she murmured, she thought she had seen it wrong. Lanxiang recalled carefully and slapped her thigh suddenly, "The eldest young master's wife, that servant woman!"
In excitement, his voice was a little loud.
She covered her mouth again, leaned close to Qi Yueniang's ear, and whispered, "That maid's waist was a little stiff when she walked. I said she was weird, but she was not as humble as a maid."
Is it possible——
Qi Yueniang's eyes were filled with surprise, "Is that servant the Crown Prince's wife in disguise?"
Lanxiang nodded, then quickly shook her head, "I saw it all, hiding in the bushes under the pavilion in the side garden, but - whose maid's back is so straight?"
Xiao Yinxiu is the eldest daughter of the Xiao family. She was taught etiquette and manners by a female teacher hired at a high price.
Things that are engraved in your bones cannot be thrown away just by putting on a maid's clothes.
Qi Yueniang's face was filled with horror. "What is this second-born girl doing in there? Father has ordered that even the Crown Prince and An Ge'er are not allowed to enter. What does she want to do?"
Lanxiang shook her head slightly.
He supported the angry Qi Yueniang and said, "Madam, we can't make this public."
