Chapter 052: Temptation
Old Madam Qi frowned and looked at her: "I don't know what is going on in the Hou Mansion, how to pick it up?"
Mama Shen sighed: "The fourth girl brought everyone back, and the fifth girl is alone outside, if you don't send someone to pick it up, where can she come back." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
The words of the fourth girl were not clear, and she didn't know what was going on. Old Madam Qi's face was even more gloomy, "She said that the Yongding Marquis Mansion is strange, and it doesn't sound right to me, but you can't act rashly because of this." β
Mama Shen didn't understand what she meant, so she lowered her voice and asked, "Old lady, are you suspicious of the fifth girl, and she ...... something bad happened?" Mama Shen stopped in time, left the second half of the sentence behind, and changed her words, "It shouldn't be." β
In such a person and in such a place, nothing really will happen.
Mama Shen said: "There are girls from other families who are invited this time, if something really happens, there will be no movement at all." β
Old Madam Qi put down her hand and motioned for her to pour herself a cup of tea, while saying, "It's not enough to give your life, but it's hard to say." "That Yongding Marquis Mansion is not the family they have been with for many years and are accustomed to after all.
She took a sip of tea and moistened her throat and said, "I heard earlier that the Xia people have a custom that there will be male guests at the girls' flower-viewing banquet. β
Mama Shen was taken aback when she heard this: "Isn't that not a rule at all?"
Old Madam Qi said: "What rules, they are people without rules." β
Mama Shen was a little panicked: "If that's the case, then the five girls shouldn't have met some strange man, right?"
Old Madam Qi glanced at her noncommittally, lowered her voice and said, "So this matter can't be messed up." She looked at Mama Shen fixedly, and confided her thoughts in her heart a little bit, "If what you and I are worried about is true, then if you are careless, let the Murong family know, how is Xiao Wu's marriage contract good?"
She also said that there is also Sanniang's marriage.
In case they are reckless and offend the Yongding Marquis Mansion, wouldn't they ruin the marriage between Sanniang and the Yongding Marquis Mansion?
Sanniang, a daughter from Bofu, is not top-notch in appearance, and her character and temperament are not too good, where can she go to find a husband like Hou Shizi of Yongding after this village.
This marriage cannot be ruined.
Old Madam Qi said, "Wait. β
Mama Shen turned her head to look out the window, and the four corners of the sky were already drowsy and like ink. This is the hour, and we have to wait?
She asked tentatively, "Should I inform my uncle?"
If things are really wrong, in the end, it is bound to be Qi Yuanzhang himself.
But Old Madam Qi shook her head with a deep groan and said, "He's recuperating from his injuries, what are he bothering him to do." β
Mama Shen said cautiously: "The old slave is worried, you don't discuss this matter with the uncle, and when the uncle knows about it, he will be angry with you." β
Old Madam Qi didn't care: "He didn't dare." β
Her son, she knows.
Old Madam Qi said firmly: "Even if he knows, can he personally go to the Yongding Marquis Mansion to ask the ins and outs of the matter?"
After speaking, the room was silent.
The twilight outside the window is getting heavier and thicker.
Old Madam Qi finally spoke: "Send someone to take a look." β
As she spoke, she couldn't help but be angry with Qi Mo again. If she hadn't left Taiwei alone, how could their current situation become so embarrassing.
They are now sending people to pick up people from the Yongding Marquis Mansion, what do they say?
said that two girls came to the banquet, and one of them went home alone with the maid and the mother-in-law, so he had to send someone to pick up the other?
When I say this, I really want to laugh people's big teeth off.
Old Madam Qi drank all the tea in a sullen voice and asked Mama Shen to go to work quickly.
Mama Shen was about to retreat, when she heard someone from outside report that the fifth girl had returned.
Mama Shen had only seen Qi Mo too little before, and she was suspicious, so she asked people to listen attentively to the movements of the second gate, and once the fifth girl came back, she would report it immediately.
Hearing that the person was back, Mama Shen breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Mrs. Qi with joy on her face and said, "Old lady, the person is back!"
When Mrs. Qi heard this, she stood up, but there was no joy on her face, she just asked, "How did you come back?"
Mama Shen was stunned, and hurriedly called the messenger in, and asked carefully, "The fifth girl came back by herself?"
The maid who passed the message was stunned, shook her head and said, "The slave didn't see it, the mother-in-law on the second door only said that the fifth girl came back, and didn't say how she came back." β
Mama Shen glared at her with hatred and sent the person away.
Mrs. Qi said: "Let the two of them wait on the way to Xiaowuhui Xiangyuan, and bring her over when they see someone." β
Mama Shen agreed and stepped back.
Old Madam Qi stopped her again and ordered, "Go and ask the people on the second gate again how they came back." β
β¦β¦
It's getting darker.
Mama Shen went and returned, and happened to meet someone lighting a lamp under the porch, and one was not paying attention and almost bumped into it.
Seeing this, the maid in charge of the lamp turned pale and called "Mama Shen" twice before she raised her head.
Mama Shen's face was dappled by the swaying lights in the evening breeze.
The maid shouted again: "Mama Shen?"
Mama Shen didn't seem to hear it, so she passed her and strode forward.
The footsteps sounded hurried, and there was no composure at all.
The night wind blew on her, blowing her clothes and hair fluttering, and she didn't care about it at all. Her meticulousness, at this moment, never seemed to exist.
Mama Shen held her breath and rushed into the house.
When Old Madam Qi saw her, she was surprised and said, "What's the matter?"
Mama Shen still had a little bit of previous shock on her face, and when she heard this, she said, "Old lady, do you remember the Xuanping Marquis you mentioned to the slave earlier?"
Old Madam Qi narrowed her eyes: "Of course I remember." β
Mama Shen walked to her side, leaned closer and said softly: "The mother-in-law on the second door said that she asked someone, the fifth girl was sent back, and the person who sent her back was Lord Xue, the commander of the Zhenyi Division. β
When Mrs. Qi heard this, she was shocked, and immediately turned her head to look at Mama Shen: "Really?"
Mama Shen nodded and said, "It's true." β
Old Madam Qi was stunned, shook her hand, and spilled half a cup of ginseng tea: "If this is the case, it means that Xuanping Hou has no concealed meaning." Otherwise, he wants to hide from people, and there is still a time when he can't hide his identity. β
Old Madam Qi was confused.
She couldn't figure out what the hell was going on.
She said to Mama Shen eagerly: "Quick! Go and bring Xiao Wu over!"
Mama Shen answered yes, retreated, and as soon as she arrived at the bottom of the corridor, she saw a few people coming over in the distance. The girl with her head has a small pure white flower on her sideburns. In the hazy night, the flower was as clean as if it was shining in the dark.
When she got closer, Mama Shen recognized it.
It was a tulip flower.
