Chapter 249: Scandal
He Luo didn't like this kind of occasion originally, but she was really bored recently, so she came to see what tricks these women wanted to play. It was not in vain that she and Xiao Luo left the court before, although they were not clear about the situation, some people still understood.
Changing into a gorgeous dress, He Luo felt very uncomfortable, coupled with the complicated hairstyle, she was a little irritable for a while. But she also understands that this kind of occasion is better to be formal, and she can't lose Xiao Luoli's face.
Sitting in the carriage, she leaned against the wall of the carriage and thought about something. Now the situation in Qingyi Country is probably a little tense, otherwise Xiao Luoli would not have come to see her once in the past few days. And in the name of recuperation, he stayed at home and did not go to court.
Seeing Liang Ming two days ago, he seemed to be calling the elite guards, and it seemed that something big had happened. He Luo is not stupid, he knows that Xiao Luoli must be planning something.
It stands to reason that this should be a good opportunity for her to escape, but she always feels uneasy. Although no one in this Qingyi Country could hurt Xiao Luoli, she still felt that she couldn't run away at such a critical time. Even if they have an unpleasant quarrel now, Xiao Luoli's kindness to her is true, and she still has to have a little conscience.
This time, I will come to this flower-viewing banquet, firstly, to have some fun when I am bored, and secondly, to see if I can get some useful information. If she remembers correctly, this Du Wenhan seems to have been with Xiao Luo for a long time, and it seems reasonable for this Mrs. Du to ask her to enjoy the flowers together, but she still feels that something is strange.
Just when He Luo was thinking nonsense, the carriage had already stopped in front of the Du Mansion. He Luo tidied up his clothes, adjusted his state, and got out of the carriage with the support of the maid.
When I walked into the garden of Du Mansion, all the ladies seemed to be in order. When they saw He Luo coming, they all had a trace of contempt in their eyes.
But this is also normal, after all, a woman who is not involved with her brother will indeed be looked down upon. Mrs. Du was very friendly, she stood up and said, "Miss Heluo is here, come and sit down." β
At this time, a lady spoke: "Mrs. Du, you have such a big face, and we can invite the most influential people in Kyoto." β
"Mrs. Liu, you can't say that. The Du family and the Xiao family have been friends for many years, so it is natural that they can invite Miss Heluo. Another lady spoke.
"Yes, yes, thank Mrs. Zhao for reminding. Look at my memory, I actually forgot about the good relationship between the Du family and the Xiao family. Having said that, the Xiao family has been very interesting recently, and the elder brother brought his sister to the court. Mrs. Liu looked at the two with a smile.
"You said that this regent is also interesting, he has not married a wife when he has reached the age of establishment, but has been entangled with his sister." At this point, someone spoke again.
"I don't know if it's the regent's own problem, or if both sisters are reincarnated as fox spirits." There was a hint of disdain in Mrs. Liu's tone.
"Miss Heluo shouldn't be small now, right?" Mrs. Zhao looked at He Luo and smiled kindly, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes.
He Luo naturally knew that this group of people were coming to trouble her, but he was not annoyed, and replied with a smile: "It's twenty, and it should be twenty-one after your birthday." β
"It's twenty years old, and the regent hasn't helped you find someone's house yet? At your age, it stands to reason that all children should have them, right? Mrs. Zhao pretended to be surprised.
The people around him were also talking about Heluo's lack of marriage at this age. Some people also said that Xiao Luo would not let his sister marry, maybe he was preparing to marry himself.
Those people seemed to be more and more energetic the more they discussed, and the eyes that looked at He Luo were even more disdainful, and there was still some jealousy in their eyes. He Luo is not annoyed, after all, he lives his own life, and it has nothing to do with others.
However, at this time, she noticed Mrs. Du, who had been standing beside her, and for some reason, she intuitively felt that this woman was dangerous. Although she didn't say a word from beginning to end, her attitude towards Heluo was kind.
But, if you think about it carefully, isn't it she who invited He Luo here? The purpose of her inviting herself to come should not be to humiliate these people, and He Luo didn't believe that she really invited herself to enjoy the flowers, so what was her purpose?
Although they didn't care about what these people said, they had been discussing themselves here, and He Luo was also a little uncomfortable. So she lied that she was a little uncomfortable and wanted to borrow Mrs. Du's guest room to lie down for a while.
Mrs. Du naturally wouldn't stop it, so she sent someone to take Heluo away. On the way to the guest room, the maid who followed He Luo asked a little angrily: "Third Miss, they all said so much, do you ignore it?" β
"What are they doing? They're bored, so it's nice for me to have some fun with them. He Luo was very calm.
The maid saw that He Luo was not angry, so she didn't talk much. The maid who led the way in front heard He Luo say this, but admired her state of mind a little, and she left after taking He Luo to the guest room.
After entering, He Luo looked at the maid and said, "Tonghua, change clothes with me." β
Tonghua didn't react for a while, but He Luo took off his coat. Although she didn't understand what Heluo wanted to do, Tonghua still did it.
After the two changed their clothes, He Luo let Tonghua lie on the bed while he left the room. She always felt that there was something wrong with this Du Mansion, and it was rare to come in once, so she naturally wanted to investigate.
Because she was wearing the clothes of the inferior, He Luo lowered her head again, so naturally no one noticed her abnormality. Because he didn't understand the environment of Du Mansion, He Luo couldn't ask directly, so he could only shake it around.
"What are you doing here, girl? The lord is going to have a banquet for Lord Feng and Master Li tonight, and everyone is preparing for it. What are you doing here alone? A stern schoolgirl sounded.
He Luo hurriedly put on a smiling face and said, "Sister, I just went to the thatched house, I'll go to help now." β
Seeing that He Luo's attitude was good, the woman's expression softened a little and said, "You don't have to go to the kitchen, just send this tea to the master." β
As soon as he heard the woman say this, He Luo knew that the opportunity had come. So he smiled and asked, "Sister, where is the master now?" β
"In the study, don't go yet." As she spoke, the woman handed her the tray.
He Luo took the tray with a grin and trotted away. The woman felt that He Luo was a little naΓ―ve, but she thought that there were so many maids in Dufu, and she couldn't know them all, so she didn't take it to heart.
