Chapter 132: The Aftermath
For several days, Liu Mengyan was silent, immersed in self-blame.
She regretted that she should have asked the Zhu family to transfer Rose from Liu Ruomei's house immediately.
If she could have expected Liu Ruomei to be so crazy and transfer Rose one step earlier, Rose would not have died.
"Girl, what we can do for Rose, we've done it. Don't blame yourself too much. Bitong persuaded, "The person who really killed Rose doesn't know how to be happy to see you like this at this moment!" ”
Liu Mengyan nodded, showed a faint smile to Bitong and said, "In the future, we have to be more careful." ”
……
The end of the year is approaching.
The news that Fu Mingxue of the Fu family was designated as the crown prince's concubine officially came out of the palace.
Fu Jiate held a spring party for this purpose, and such news is naturally another grand event for the girls in the boudoir in the capital.
The girls in each room of Liufu are naturally invited.
The old lady of the long room means that there are only three rooms for the concubine, and the concubine will not disappear.
In fact, she deliberately didn't want to take Liu Ruomei, Liu Ruozhen and Liu Ruofen were young because they were young, so it was okay not to go, but they were also affected by her.
For this reason, Liu Ruomei ran to the third prince and cried several times, but it was still to no avail.
Who let her offend the eldest granddaughter of the old lady of the long house, the old lady of the long house is still angry.
In the end, the second prince suddenly came forward to talk to the old lady of the long house in the house for a long time, but still asked Liu Ruomei to follow.
On this day, after the girls in Liufu were dressed up, they were led by the old lady of the long house and went to Fu's house in a big carriage.
Although Liu Ruomei was secretly happy that she could still go to the Fu family's flower viewing party with Liu Mengyan, she only knew about it as soon as she got into the carriage.
She had been completely isolated, and no one paid attention to her. In the past, Liu Ruoliu and Liu Ruoyu would never completely ignore her, at least on the surface.
But now neither of them had barely looked at her properly.
Yoo Mengyan is even more so.
Liu Ruomei secretly said in her heart: One day, I will make you all pay the price of regret for treating me like this today.
The carriage went all the way to the Fu Mansion, and the door was also full of beautiful carriages from all walks of life.
The old lady of the long house led her granddaughters to the inner hall under the guidance of the housekeeper's mother.
The luxurious old lady Fu has a kind face, although there are many wrinkles on her face, her complexion is also ruddy.
The old lady of the long room personally stepped forward and saluted: "Old sister, the old body specially came to congratulate and congratulate you." ”
Mrs. Fu and the old lady of the long house are also old acquaintances, and they also had a relationship when they were young, so they quickly got up to greet each other and greeted the old lady of the long room in person.
A grand event like this is actually an opportunity for each province to see each other's girls.
Although the girls of Liufu are interested in heaven, such a grand event cannot be missed.
After all, there are still two young sons in Liufu, and their family affairs naturally need to be worried about by the old lady of the long house.
The two old ladies couldn't help but start looking at each other's granddaughters, and Mrs. Fu glanced at the row of girls standing behind the old lady in the long room, and couldn't help but glance at the girl in the red dress among them.
The girl is like a bright pearl, which is different. Although the girl in the lilac dress next to her is not inferior to her, she is more than a star and a half worse in terms of bearing.
"I heard Sister Xue say that the four girls in Liufu are unparalleled in beauty, and they are particularly outstanding in the eldest princess's mansion, so it must be you!" Old Lady Fu said to Liu Mengyan.
"Ruoli has seen Old Madam Fu!" Liu Mengyan saluted slightly.
"Sister, I used to think that my sister Xue'er had already stood out, but now I know that there is someone better than her. Look at this child, born so well. Old Madam Fu praised among them.
"Hehe, the old sister is a mistake. Sister Xue of your mansion has outstanding character and appearance, and she is already a candidate for the side concubine of His Royal Highness the Prince. How can Sister Li compare with Sister Xue. The old lady of the long room smiled.
The two old ladies began to compliment each other on how good their granddaughter was.
The other guests couldn't help but start to look at these girls with different characteristics in Liufu, especially Liu Mengyan, who praised the old woman Fu, and took a few more looks.
I thought in my heart whether a girl with a status and appearance like her was suitable to be her daughter-in-law. Of course, you also have to weigh whether your own door is worthy of other people's girls.
Liu Mengyan was bored, and suddenly saw Mrs. Guo and Guo Yuqi also coming.
Guo Yuqi winked at her, and then followed Mrs. Guo to greet Mrs. Fu.
Mrs. Fu asked the housekeeper's mother to take the girls from each family to the back garden to enjoy the flowers, while she and her daughter-in-law beckoned the old lady or lady to talk.
The girls poured into the back garden of the Fu family like birds flying into the forest.
It turned out that in order to organize this flower viewing party, Fu Lao specially brought dozens of large water tanks, and planted a kind of lotus that is said to bloom in winter.
I saw that there were some delicate lotus flowers floating in the big water tank, and the color of each flower was different.
"Why didn't you see Sister Fu today?" One of the girls asked.
"Yes. I still wanted to talk to Sister Fu today, but she didn't show up at all. Another girl said.
"Sister Fu is now the prince's concubine, so she is waiting to be carried into the mansion one day. At this moment, I am afraid that I will be hidden in the boudoir like an eyeball by Mrs. Fu. Where will it come out and show its face. "There is humanity.
Liu Mengyan listened to such a voice of envy flowing into her ears, but she was worried about Fu Mingxue's next fate.
Naturally, he won't help Zhou Yeze anymore, so Princess Fuming won't help him either, can he finally replace the crown prince like he did in the previous life?
Is the prince still as incompetent and deaf as he was in his previous life?
"Li'er!" Guo Yuqi's voice broke into her ears and suddenly pulled Liu Ruli back from her memory.
"How could Mrs. Xu let you out? Didn't talk to you properly? Liu Mengyan remembered that in the previous life, Guo Yuqi was looked down upon by Mrs. Xu at the Fu family's flower appreciation banquet.
"How do you know that Mrs. Xu is chatting with me?" Guo Yuqi said curiously, she was indeed dragged by Mrs. Xu to talk for a long time just now.
"As soon as you entered, Mrs. Xu's gaze swirled over you. Think about it! Liu Mengyan teased.
"Li'er, my eldest brother is infatuated with you. You are not allowed to look at other families, just be my sister-in-law. Guo Yuqi said jokingly.
Liu Mengyan's eyes were stunned, thinking about that Guo Zitao, who was also a young talent, and he was infatuated with himself, so he said: "If your eldest brother is really true to Ruoli, how can you let you, who is a younger sister, come to the temptation three times or twice?" ”
Guo Yuqi's face stiffened, in fact, she knew who Guo Zitao liked in her heart.
But the eldest brother of his family has been married to Mrs. Guo's maiden cousin since he was a child.
This is also the reason why he has not officially spoken to Liu Mengyan, and the Guo family has not gone to Liu's house to propose marriage.
It is said that the two families are very close to each other, and the portal is also very similar, if you are interested, you should have come to the door a long time ago.
Mrs. Guo naturally hoped that her son would marry her maiden cousin.
But Guo Zitao couldn't let go of Liu Mengyan.
Guo Yuqi sighed and said, "Li'er, I wish you could be my sister-in-law, but this matter depends on my eldest brother." ”
In this life, I don't want to live so aggrieved and miserable like in the previous life.
Liu Mengyan thought about it, and said, "Yuqi, the matter of marriage is not just a matter of looking at it right for a while. It's easy to get married, but it's not easy to get married. If Brother Guo has always had doubts in his heart, then Ruoli is willing to quit. ”
Guo Yuqi looked at her friend in surprise, and then smiled again: "Li'er, in this way, you also like my eldest brother, right?" ”
As long as Guo Zitao can treat each other sincerely, and the Guo family is simple, then if he marries, he can get out of the Liu family's three rooms as soon as possible.
Liu Mengyan thought so, and nodded.
Judging from Rose's death, the three princes are dedicated to protecting Gu's mother and daughter, which is really disappointing and chilling.
If she can take her mother and younger brother away from the third prince as soon as possible, Liu Mengyan thinks it is also a good choice.
Guo Yuqi got her approval, and immediately lost the mood to enjoy the flowers, and couldn't wait to fly back to find her brother and tell him the good news.
At that time, Mrs. Fu's daughter-in-law, Jiang, led a group of mothers-in-law and maids into the back garden.
The famous ladies of each family gathered in front of each bucket jar, saying that they were looking at lotus flowers, but they were actually talking about Fu Mingxue.
The group picked out the crowded places and looked around the crowd, as if looking for something.
Liu Ruli caught a glimpse of the anxiety on Jiang's face, and secretly wondered in her heart: Isn't today a good day for the Fu family, Fu Mingxue has not shown up for a long time, and now it is this look again, what happened?
Jiang's people rummaged through the entire back garden, but in the end they still couldn't find the person she was looking for.
Eventually, they quickly exited the back garden, just as they had come.
"Li'er, that was Fu Mingxue's mother just now. Something seems to have happened? Guo Yuqi whispered on the side.
……
The Fu family's flower-viewing banquet ended in a hurry.
I heard that Mrs. Fu fainted, and the Fu family became a mess!
After Fu Cabinet and his son apologized to the guests who came with a strong face, they let the housekeeper lead the family away.
The old lady of the long room hurriedly left the Fu family with a group of female dependents, and everyone was calm along the way, and the atmosphere was a little depressing.
Several girls looked at each other, only Liu Mengyan and the old lady of the long room pondered.
Liu Mengyan remembered that in the flower viewing banquet in the previous life, Fu Mingxue obviously came out to show off, showing off for a good time, and earned enough envy from others.
"Something terrible must have happened to the Fu family!" The old lady of the long room said suddenly, and the wrinkles on her face suddenly deepened.
"Grandmother, I didn't see the Fu family's sister today. Supposedly, she should show up today. Liu Ruoliu couldn't help but say.
"Yes, I still want to see the demeanor of the Fu family's sister, after all, she is the one who is about to become the prince's concubine!" Liu Ruomei also said.
No one paid any attention to her.
But her words are indeed what everyone is thinking.
