The carriage drove out of Ran Mansion, crossed a few streets, and stopped in front of the three-room mansion, and the big characters engraved on the plaque in front of the gate were also "Ran Mansion", but it was not the same thing.

After the uncle's accident, the two houses were divided under the old lady's mastery, although the industry still intersected, but the residence was not together, except for the New Year's festival or the main family had some formal occasions, the contact was not close.

Sanfang is good at management, and it is easy not to offend people, in Ran Qiunian's opinion, except for the brainless Ran Susu, all the people in the house are scheming and good at disguise.

If it were for Ran Qiunian, she would rather face ten Ran Susu than stay with a woman like Ran Yinyin for a few more moments.

Thanks to the connections that Sanfang has been operating for many years, when Ran Qiu thought about them, there were already many carriages parked at the door.

"It's just a small birthday banquet for the third aunt, and it actually put on such a big pomp, and this grand occasion with a lot of guests looks like it's about to cross the grandmother's birthday banquet last time."

Before getting out of the car, looking at the scene outside, Ran Qiunian couldn't help but sigh in a whisper.

Ran Qiubai signaled Ran Qiunian to speak carefully, the two got out of the carriage and were invited into the banquet hall by the little guy who welcomed the guests at the door, because before the banquet started, Ran Qiunian and Ran Qiubai were separated, and they were led to the backyard to get together with a group of women.

"Nian'er is here? Come on, come to the third aunt, let the aunt see, I haven't seen her for a long time, Nian'er looks a little taller, and she is almost a big girl. ”

As soon as she entered the door, the third aunt noticed Ran Qiunian, her tone was very warm, and she called Ran Qiunian to her side and sat down.

"Your grandmother has been tough lately? I went back to visit her old man's house, and I was in good spirits, and when I had time in the house in a few days, I should also visit her old man again. ”

"Mrs. Ran is really filial to the old lady, she is not in the same house anymore, and she can still think about it all the time, she really has a heart."

A lady praised the filial piety of the third aunt, and the rest of the people also echoed it.

Ran Qiunian looked at the gentle and charitable eyes of the third aunt, as well as the undisguised closeness and love for herself, and hurriedly suppressed the goosebumps on her body, bent her eyebrows, and said a few words in agreement.

This is the biggest reason why she doesn't like to associate with the Sanfang family, she knows that the person who smiles at you has a ghost, but she can't be cold-faced, and she has to dress up, and act like she doesn't know anything to maintain this enthusiasm.

"Grandmother has always been fine, but recently in the summer, it is getting hotter and hotter, grandmother is old, afraid of heat stroke, easy not to leave the house, so I have to ask Nian'er to give the third aunt a birthday gift."

Ran Qiunian asked Qingxi to send the gift, and the third aunt asked her to accept it, thanked the old lady again and again, and praised Ran Qiunian for being sensible.

Everyone was talking and laughing, and there was another rumor outside, saying that Mrs. Feng was also here with her young lady, and the laughter in the house suddenly quieted down.

"Why is she here too?" A lady whispered a few words to the lady who was close to her.

"Who knows? Pick this day to come to the door, don't you come to make trouble again, right? ”

The whispered conversation in the room was completely silent when the curtain was lifted, and Ran Qiunian also looked curiously at the door along everyone's eyes.

I saw Mrs. Feng walking in with her daughter with a smile on her face, as if she had not noticed the various tentative eyes in the room, and gave a birthday gift to the third aunt who was sitting upright on the main seat.

"Mrs. Feng is polite, you can come, it already makes me very happy, take a seat." He turned his head to Miss Feng who was standing beside Mrs. Feng and smiled and said, "This is Miss Feng, it's really getting more and more beautiful." ”

Mrs. Feng and the third aunt have come and gone, and no one has mentioned the incident that Ran Susu made in the Feng Mansion last time, even Miss Feng is kind to the third aunt.

After a while, the atmosphere in the room returned to the same as before, and no one mentioned the ridiculous things that had happened between the two families that day.

"Third aunt, I heard that the lotus pond in the house can be described as a must, and it is rare to catch up with the peak of the flowers, Nian'er wants to go out to see it first. Pick some lotus pods to play. ”

Ran Qiunian couldn't sit still, she just felt that if she stayed any longer, the smile on her face was about to freeze at the corner of her mouth.

"Mother, aunt, I also want to go see the lotus."

Miss Feng followed Ran Qiunian's words and also stood up. The third aunt naturally didn't allow it, and told the two of them to pay attention to safety, don't bask in the sun for too long, and let people out.

"In the end, it's still a child, it's just playful."

Mrs. Feng watched her daughter go out with Ran Qiunian, and couldn't help but smile and shake her head and say a word.

Ran Qiu read out of the courtyard, and walked with Miss Feng to the lotus pond on the side without saying a word, and entered the pavilion at hand. Looking at the large lotus pond in full bloom in front of him, he couldn't help but look at Miss Feng who didn't speak beside him.

"Miss Feng also likes these lotus flowers? Coincidentally, I wanted to go over there to have a look, and Miss Feng was slowly admiring this pavilion. ”

After Ran Qiunian finished speaking, she was going to take Qingxi to the pavilion opposite, she didn't have a good impression of Miss Feng, but she didn't want to make any extraneous branches here, she just wanted to quickly get rid of people and clean her for a while.

"I thought you also thought the people in that room were too fake, so you couldn't help but come out to breathe."

Miss Feng opened her mouth angrily and looked at Ran Qiunian, who was eager to get rid of herself, Ran Qiunian looked at Miss Feng strangely and did not make a sound.

Miss Feng didn't care, she looked at the beautiful lotus pond in front of her, and said faintly: "I haven't forgotten the ugly thing that Ran Susu did, it's hard for my mother and your third aunt to get along like good sisters." ”

"I don't understand what Miss Feng is saying."

Ran Qiu saw that this Miss Feng looked like she wanted to talk to herself, but she didn't plan to say anything more to her, and she was about to leave after calling Qingxi, but she smiled incomprehensibly when she heard Miss Feng.

"When I came, I saw Ran Yinyin's personal maid go to the front yard, why did you say that Ran Yinyin was not with Mrs. Ran just now?"

Ran Qiunian frowned when she heard this, and immediately thought of Ran Qiubai, she glanced at Miss Feng who was looking at the lotus pond behind her suspiciously, and hesitated to speak.

"What's wrong with Miss Feng today, why are you talking to me about this?"

"I think I'm thanking you for helping my brother."

Miss Feng dropped a sentence awkwardly and stopped paying attention to Ran Qiunian.

Ran Qiunian was stunned for a moment, and still didn't react, when did he intersect with Miss Feng's brother, and when he saw Qingxi squeezing his eyebrows at him, he immediately reacted.

It turned out to be the last time before the Spring Imperial Examination, I didn't expect Young Master Feng to be able to find out about her, and also helped her hide it, without letting Liu Yufei notice it, and suddenly changed his opinion of the young master Feng who looked quite sloppy.

But in the face of Miss Feng's overtures, Ran Qiunian neither admitted nor refused.

Thinking of Ran Qiubai, who didn't know the situation in the front yard, she suddenly couldn't stay any longer, called Shangqingxi, and hurried to the front yard to find someone.

"What? Brother Qiubai was called out just now? ”

Ran Qiunian went to the front yard to find someone to pounce, and asked about the personal servant who was left in the same place by Ran Qiubai, only to get this one answer, and couldn't help but get a little anxious.

"Do you remember who called you away, and where did you call them?"

Ran Qiunian eased his mind and hurriedly probed the little guy.

"I was called away by a little maid, saying that the third master had something to look for."

Seeing Ran Qiunian's anxious expression, the little maid was suddenly a little worried: "Miss, don't worry, maybe the third master wants to take the young master to recognize some people in the business field, and you can see people when the banquet starts." ”

As soon as Ran Qiunian heard it, he knew that there were ghosts in it, Ran Qiubai was definitely deceived by Ran Yinyin's excuse, how could a person like Sanbo be kind enough to share his connections in the hands of others.

But there are so many people today, what does Ran Yinyin want to do to Ran Qiubai? Just trick people into talking? Ran Qiunian didn't believe that Ran Yinyin would let go of this opportunity so easily.

"Do you know where they're going?"

Ran Qiunian grabbed the little guy and finally asked, the little guy pointed to a road in the south with some uncertainty, Ran Qiunian let go of the person hatefully, and looked for the south path without hesitation.

She rarely comes to the three-room mansion, and she is very unfamiliar with the terrain in the mansion, but fortunately, the general distribution of the back houses of each house is very different, Ran Qiunian followed the path, asked some people along the way, and found Ran Yinyin's boudoir.

"Second cousin is here? My aunt called me over and asked my cousin how she was prepared, why she hadn't seen anyone, and if she was not feeling well? ”

Ran Qiunian stopped a maid in Ran Yinyin's yard, looking at the grade of the clothes, it should be the right-hand man beside Ran Yinyin, so she pretended to be very familiar and took the opportunity to talk.

"Miss, she just went out, I guess you missed it with Miss Four."

The maid recognized Ran Qiunian's face, and when she saw this, she didn't think much about it, and pointed in a direction.

"I know, then I'll go back to the third aunt. Qingxi, let's go. ”

Ran Qiunian turned around and took Qingxi on the road pointed out by the maid, and chased all the way to the vicinity of the corner gate, there were no people passing by, Ran Qiunian didn't know where to go next for a while, and froze in place.

"Miss, we have gone so far away, and we haven't seen any trace of the young master or Miss Yin, could it be that we are thinking too much?"

Qingxi stood beside Ran Qiunian a little panting, looking at the quiet and terrifying environment around him, and persuaded Ran Qiunian to go back to the banquet hall first before making plans.

But Ran Qiunian felt a little uneasy in her heart, she looked at the closed corner door, and found that the notch that was supposed to be inserted into the latch was empty at this time, and couldn't help but step forward to open the door.

"Miss, let the slave come."

Qingxi took a step forward, pushed open the corner door, and as soon as he opened a gap, he saw Ran Qiunian behind him quickly holding Qingxi's hand and signaling Qingxi to silence.

The master and servant leaned over with solemn faces, and listened to the sound coming from outside through the crack in the open door.

"Brother Wang, since I am willing to come to see you in person, it represents my trust in you, people have already given it to you, the young master of the Ran family, the future heir of the Ran Mansion, I am afraid that his value does not need to be said to you."

It's Ran Yinyin! Ran Qiunian gritted her teeth and listened to the two outside talking about her brother's life and death, as if she was talking about a product, this vicious woman actually had such an idea!

Qingxi was so frightened that his face turned pale and covered his mouth stiffly, for fear of being detected by the two of them.
