"Cousin is saying that Miss Wei came here, was it invited by Master Wei? But their brothers and sisters, what is there that is not easy to say in the mansion, but they prefer to go to Cuiwei Lake outside the banquet in the Prime Minister's Mansion? ”

"It's true that my brother invited me to come," Wei Tingcheng took Xie Ning's hand, looked at Gao Yiyan who was approaching step by step, and reluctantly raised his voice: "If Miss Gao doesn't believe it, you can go to my brother and ask." ”

"Gongzi Wei is your brother, not my brother. Naturally, I'm talking to you. ”

Xie Ning looked at Gao Yiyan with an arrogant expression, and felt a little bored in his heart for no reason, and suddenly said impatiently: "Does Cousin Yan really want to know the reason?" Instead of speculating on your own, you should ask me. ”

Gao Yiyan raised her eyebrows, looked away from Wei Tingcheng, and turned to look at Xie Ning lazily and said, "Then please ask Cousin Xie to solve my doubts." ”

Xie Ning looked not far away, glanced at Gao Yiyao without a trace, covered it with his sleeves, patted the back of Wei Xiaomei's hand on the one hand, and replied casually: "Allure and her brother don't have to talk here, and it is naturally not her who has something to say to Wei Gongzi, but me." ”

"Heh," Gao Yiyan didn't want Xie Ning to answer like this, and after being slightly surprised, she chuckled, "Cousin is saying that I just had a private meeting with Wei Gongzi here?" ”

Seeing that she deliberately confused in front of people, Xie Ning was distracted, and immediately shook his head with a straight face and said: "There is nothing to say to people, it is true that I and Wei Gongzi met here, but since we are accompanied by Allure, my cousin's private meeting is inevitably a little biased." ”

If it is according to Shainin's original intention, there is no other way. She will not involve herself with Wei Qingyang, how Wei Qingyang will react is one thing, and what makes Xie Ning hesitate is the unclear matter of marriage between the two of them.

But Gao Yiyan pressed first, and in order to protect Wei's reputation, she had to throw out this half-truth. As for whether everyone will believe it, it is no longer up to her to decide.

Xie Ning's words fell, and Gao Yiyan was about to say something more, but was stopped by Gao Yiyao's look, so she had to stop her mouth a little unwillingly.

No one asked any more questions. Shainin was naturally happy. nodded to Gu Qingyun, and with the help of Mingshuang, he walked out with Wei Qingcheng in his arms.

Mama Qin naturally followed them, but now was not the time to speak. The two only exchanged a knowing look. I didn't say much more.

He had already promised Wei Tingcheng to let her go back earlier. In charge of people to the end, Shainin will naturally not give up halfway. Mama Qin seemed to know her intentions, so she immediately stopped a little maid. After learning where Wei Qingyang was, Xie Ning followed Mama Qin's guidance and walked several tortuous paths in the prime minister's mansion like a labyrinth, taking a shortcut to find Wei Qingyang's figure.

At this time, it was almost dusk, and the banquet had dispersed, but Wei Qingyang was not alone. Xie Ning raised his eyes to look, but saw several literati students sitting or standing, talking to each other quite enthusiastically.

This matter is not easy to talk about, after Xie Ning whispered to Wei Qingcheng, he glanced at Mingshuang, "Please invite Wei Gongzi here." ”

Mingshuang left in response, and I don't know what excuse she used, in short, Wei Qingyang was here, looking at Wei Qingcheng with a panicked expression, he couldn't help but show a few shocks on his always gentle and peaceful face, and looked around, and after seeing that no one was paying attention, he hurriedly said: "Miss Xie, did something happen just now?" ”

was also worried about attracting others, Xie Ning had to lower his voice and said in an ominous voice: "This matter is a long story, Allure is innocent because of me, but fortunately, there is no danger." ”

Wei Qingyang bowed slightly, and did not ask out loud, but he didn't know what he thought in his heart.

However, Xie Ning didn't care about explaining a lot for a while, and after seeing the other party leave with Wei Xiaomei, he returned the same way and joined everyone in the Hou Mansion.

The group was about to leave, but Gu Qingyun suddenly appeared. Xie Ning only thought that she was looking for the Gao sisters, so she didn't come forward to talk, but unexpectedly, after a while, a touch of apricot red inadvertently floated into her sight. As soon as Xie Ning raised his head, he met Gu Qingyun's apologetic eyes.

"Sister Ning, today's matter is that I didn't think it through. I had expected King Xuan to leave the table early, and I didn't pay attention to him after talking to him. And because my grandmother wanted to talk to Mama Qin on a whim, I also accompanied me, and I couldn't take good care of you, so that you and Miss Wei would be frightened because of this-"

Before Gu Qingyun's words fell, she was interrupted by Xie Ning, who was smiling at the corner of her mouth, shaking her head, "If this matter is really wrong, it has nothing to do with you, Sister Gu." What's more, I and Allure just arrived after the fact, although there was a little fright, it was not very serious, Sister Gu didn't have to worry too much. ”

Hearing this, Gu Qingyun smiled knowingly, and said with a flickering look in her eyes: "What Sister Ning said is good, it was Miss He's mistake for a while, and she caused so many incidents, which will make you and Miss Wei frightened today." However, our Prime Minister does not treat the guests well, I wonder if I can invite you to a light meal another day, and you should make amends? ”

"Sister Gu is serious," hearing the deep apology in her voice, Xie Ning hurriedly refused, "The two of us didn't take this to heart, if you blame yourself like this again, what should we do?" ”

Gu Qingyun just chuckled and said, "In this case, you should think that I want to get along with you more." Anyway, you and Miss Wei have been in Beijing for so long, and I haven't had a chance to go out alone with you. Let's just say it, tomorrow I will send someone to the Hou Mansion and the Wei Mansion to deliver the post. ”

Seeing that she insisted on doing so, Xie Ning had to nod his head in response. After the Gao sisters chatted with her for a few words, they said goodbye and left with everyone in the Hou Mansion.

***

After returning to the small courtyard, Xie Ning had not had time to talk to Mama Qin about what he had seen today, so he was first attracted by the news brought by Gu Sui, "Miss, there is a letter from Captain Pei in the concierge today. ”

Uncle Pei's letter? Thinking of the agreement between the two a few days ago, Xie Ning couldn't help but be overjoyed, and saw that there was no trace of the letter in Gu Sui's hand, so he hurriedly said, "Where is it?" ”

Gu Sui let out an "oh", took out the letter from the room, and handed it to Shain, "This letter has not been signed, and I don't know if it is a letter written by the master." ”

Xie Ning opened the letter and shook his head at the same time, already guessing the content of the letter. I just don't know, what is the situation in Yandi?

Unfolded the letter with trepidation, but it was only four words. The familiar strokes and flowing fonts made her identify the letter writer at a glance. But what made her smile at this moment was only a short sentence in clear handwriting on the letter - don't read peace.

"Miss, what is written in Captain Pei's letter?" Seeing Xie Ning's sudden face, Gu Sui couldn't help but ask curiously. (To be continued.) )
