Xu Qirong was bored, so she had to lower her head and obediently follow Mama Wei and the maid who pretended to be her outside. The maid specially made a tulle covering, which looked more like the woman in the fence, and the others had already received Su Liangdi's orders, and they were afraid of Mama Wei, so they didn't have any doubts when they saw this.

Mama Wei led expressionlessly in front, and there was a group of maids behind, walking towards the garden where the banquet was held, and when they were changing clothes, Su Liangdi's henchman maid had already come to urge her.

Walking through the verandah, Mama Wei suddenly paused and pointed to a small path: "Mrs. Shizi likes to eat peony shrimp, you go to the kitchen to see if it is ready." ”

Xu Qirong was stunned for a moment, according to her observations, she was probably afraid that someone would do something in the meal, and there were many guards near the kitchen.

Mama Wei lowered her voice: "Just go over, Master Hua has already arranged for someone to wait over there." ”

Xu Qirong's mind flashed, Hua Ye, could it be that Mama Wei is Hua Weijing's person? It turns out that Hua Weijing has returned to Xijing City! Then why didn't he come to the East Palace directly, but used this method to save her out?

After thinking about it for a while, Xu Qirong understood, and felt a little grateful, yes, he was like this, I am afraid it was for her reputation. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is allowed to reward her to him like this, she will not be able to escape a lowly title in her life.

He was so resolute in driving away Jin Nian and the matchmaker before, saving him face, and he was willing to help himself so much, Xu Qirong felt that he used to look at Hua Weijing, but he was really a little bit low.

Xu Qirong glanced at Mama Wei gratefully. Then he quickly lowered his head, blessed himself, turned around and walked down the path. The maid who pretended to be her had a little big feet. The golden threaded shoes didn't fit very well, just standing, I accidentally twisted it, and just bumped into Xu Qirong who was passing by.

Xu Qirong didn't even look at the maid, and walked straight towards the path pointed out by Mama Wei. If you look closely, you may be able to see that her steps are a little vain. If you ask her to raise her head, you can see her face turned pale.

The note in the palm of his hand. I was even more wet with sweat.

Turning the rockery by the lake, the kitchen is not far ahead, and you can vaguely see the guards patrolling back and forth. Xu Qirong dodged and hid behind a rockery. He opened the note with a nervous expression, and after reading it, he squatted by the lake under the pretense of washing his hands, and soaked the note in the water. Then he pressed into the mud.

Oh, yes. How could it be to go to the kitchen, Xu Qirong breathed a sigh of relief, Mama Wei said in front of everyone to let her go to the kitchen to see the peony shrimp, who would suspect that she was the Miss Xu family who was dropped?

She already knew the route written on the note. Xu Qirong lowered his head and walked along the route without saying a word. When I crossed the pontoon bridge on the lake, I was stopped by a man who looked like a steward.

The steward frowned: "Everyone is helping in front, what are you doing here?" ”

Xu Qirong couldn't dodge, so he had to pretend to be afraid, lowered his head and replied: "Mama Wei asked the maid to see if Mrs. Shizi's peony shrimp is ready." ”

The steward was suspicious: "The kitchen is over there." What are you doing this way? Behind this is the sauce storehouse! ”

Many sauce jars in the sauce warehouse have a history of more than ten years, and the taste is relatively strong. Therefore, the sauce store was built far away from the kitchen.

Xu Qirong said: "The red yeast sauce with peony shrimp in the kitchen is used up, and the cook asks the maid to come to the sauce warehouse to get some red yeast sauce." ”

"Nonsense!" The steward suddenly scolded angrily: "Chef Jin never lets others into the sauce store!" Honestly, what are you doing here? ”

Xu Qirong didn't expect this floor, and he was a little afraid in his heart, but he still forcibly argued: "There are more distinguished guests here today, and the kitchen is very busy." The maid is Mama Wei's person, if she wasn't too busy, Chef Jin wouldn't have aroused the maid. ”

These words were neither soft nor hard, and the steward already believed it in his heart, frowned, and waved his hand: "You go and come back quickly." ”

Xu Qirong was busy and hurriedly walked in the direction of the "sauce storehouse", looking like he was really busy getting red yeast sauce. The steward looked at Xu Qirong's back, how did he look at it and feel that something was wrong.

Then it dawned on me that this maid went to the sauce store to go to the red yeast sauce, how could she take the sauce with her empty hands!

"Stop!"

When Xu Qirong heard the shouts behind him, he didn't care so much, but sped up his pace.

The steward was about to catch up and remind Xu Qirong that he had forgotten to bring the utensils containing the red yeast sauce, when he saw Xu Qirong in a hurry bump into a group of nobles who turned around the corner. The one who took the lead, he recognized, was also the wife of the prince, but it was the wife of the prince of the Marquis of Dongyang.

It turns out that today I also invited Mrs. Shizi of Dongyang Hou Mansion!

My own Liangdi Niangniang doesn't like this Mrs. Shizi of the Dongyang Hou Mansion, I heard that this person is still the cousin of Miss Xu Jiayan who is now in the East Palace. The steward saw that the lady of the prince of the Dongyang Hou Mansion grabbed the maid who was taking the sauce and was talking about something, thinking that he was asking for directions. I don't know how the wife of the Dongyang Marquis Mansion came to this remote place!

The steward didn't want to confront the lady of the Dongyang Houfu, thinking that the maid would always find that she had forgotten to bring the sauce when she arrived at the sauce store, and she delayed the matter, and it was not him who was scolded left and right. glanced at Xu Qirong's back and left in a hurry.

"Why are you here?" Shen Yahui saw that the steward was gone, so she lowered her voice and asked with a twisted eyebrow.

Today's Shen Yahui is completely different from Shen Yahui who held her hand and called Sister Rong, dressed in brocade clothes, and the crested golden hairpin on her head, added together, to say the least, weighs two or three catties, in order to bear such heavy jewelry, Shen Yahui also specially combed her peony head. Look at how luxurious it is, how luxurious it is.

Compared with before, the expression on her face was a little less innocent and a little more aggressive. She dared to ask Xu Qirong in front of these maids around her, thinking that these people could be regarded as her henchmen. Xu Qirong swept it, but he didn't see the shadow of A Luo, but there was no shadow of Snow Lotus.

Shen Yahui married into the Dongyang Hou Mansion, except for half of the Shen family's family business, Mrs. Shen did not let her take anything away. It was also recently that Shen Yahui slowly began to come out and walk around, and I don't know how much effort she has gone through to get to where she is today.

Shen Yahui saw her cousin appear in the East Palace wearing the clothes of a maid, and then thought of the rumors she had faintly heard before, and immediately understood most of them. Stretched out his hand and grabbed Xu Qirong's hand, just like when he was at Shen's house in Yangzhou, he pulled her to Shen He to play with Shen He: "Go, I'll take you out." ”

A maid beside her said, "Madam, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, if the master knows......"

The maid didn't finish speaking, but Xu Qirong understood what she hadn't finished.

Shen Yahui didn't care so much, and said angrily: "I can't watch my own cousin being ruined!" I knew that there was something strange about this banquet today, but I didn't expect it to be used to deal with the Xu family. I worked so hard to raise my cousin so much, how could I let her fall into the fire pit! ”

Xu Qirong was stunned, she wanted to say, fourth cousin, except that you took me to play with Cousin Crane when I was young, and then went to eat crispy pigeons together, you gave me food and gave me drink, how did I become raised by you!

Shen Yahui saw that Xu Qirong's expression was a little strange when she looked at her, and her eyes widened: "What do you see, I can be righteous to Shen Yaru, but I can't be righteous to you?" ”

Xu Qirong pursed her lips, the Shen family regarded Shen Yahui as an outcast, if she hadn't tried to let the Shen family avoid this disaster, it would probably be Shen Yaru who married into the Dongyang Hou Mansion. She didn't expect that her four cousins didn't resent her at all, at this time, Shen Yahui was already very good at protecting herself, but she still wanted to save her!

Xu Qirong saw that Shen Yahui was wearing this heavy dress a little strange, she knew Yun Lan too well, and quietly lifted Shen Yahui's sleeve, and Shen Yahui immediately retracted her hand. However, Xu Qirong had already seen a red scar on his arm, and it looked like a new injury.

She doesn't know how many scars she has on her body!

Shen Yahui is only fifteen years old this year, a little girl who has just reached the end of her life. Xu Qirong felt a pain in his heart, and he didn't dare to look directly into Shen Yahui's clear eyes.

Shen Yahui didn't know that Xu Qirong had seen the scars on her hands, and when she saw Xu Qirong lowering her head, she felt embarrassed because she was seen so embarrassed.

Laughed at the moment: "You are still ashamed in front of me?" What is our relationship, cousin, broken bones and tendons! After a pause, Shen Yahui said again, "Now that I am disappointed in Shen Yaru, there are only two sisters, you and Cousin Jin, I can't do anything if something happens to the Xu family, I can help you, how can I watch you in prison?" I've already sent a message to my cousin. There are many people here, and it is inconvenient to stay for a long time, if you come with me now, either I will ask someone to send you to Suzhou, or wait for Cousin Jin's people to come to Xijing City, and then let her pick you up. ”

Shen Yahui's words were affectionate, but Xu Qirong couldn't watch her become more difficult because of herself. Xu Qirong pursed his lips, retracted his hand, looked up at Shen Yahui, and said, "Fourth cousin, there is no need to be like this, I am standing here now, and someone is secretly helping me." ”

Xu Qirong said: "The fourth cousin is right, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, the fourth cousin should hurry to the garden, and someone on my side will answer, so as not to burden the fourth cousin in vain." ”

Shen Yahui was suspicious: "Is there really someone answering?" ”

Xu Qirong remembered what Mama Wei said, "Just go over, Hua Ye has already arranged for someone to wait over there" and the note that the maid who pretended to be himself stuffed into him, and nodded.

Shen Yahui saw that Xu Qirong didn't look like he was lying, and in the end she still took the maids away after a thousand instructions. Her life in the Dongyang Hou Mansion is not easy, then the Dongyang Hou Mansion is like the Longtan Tiger's Den, since Cousin Rong has someone to answer, it is still as far away from the Longtan Tiger's Den as possible.
