Ning Xia Qing put down the handkerchief in her hand, raised her eyes and looked at the other side, Mrs. Gu still smiled dignifiedly, the second grandmother continued to persuade the wine, Mrs. Shen stiffened her face, smiled and picked up the wine glass, but accidentally knocked over the glass, and the fourth girl Gu had already said that she was unwell and fled the banquet.

The guests in the courtyard almost didn't notice what was happening, and now that there were servants on the stage to help the fun, the guests laughed again, and completely forgot about the jade pendant, and after a while, the maids of the Gu Mansion presented the tooth cards, chessboards and other things, and the scene was even more lively.

Gu Huailang felt a little bored and wanted to tease Zi'er again, but Zi'er's position was far away from him, he couldn't reach it, and he didn't bother to pay attention to his sisters, so he looked at both sides and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he slipped out to find Gu Xuesong.

Strangely, Mrs. Gu didn't care about him, she didn't even notice that her favorite grandson had sneaked away. The third grandmother only has this son, so she has doted on her since she was a child, and she is even more reluctant to discipline her, so she only told the maid to follow carefully, and she must watch Brother Lang closely.

The flower hall was full of laughter, time gradually passed, and the sun climbed into the sky.

Although the shade in this garden is thick, it still can't stop the summer heat. The maid replied at this time, saying that the seats on the other side of the pavilion had been set, and Mrs. Gu glanced at the second grandmother, and the second grandmother immediately understood, got up and beckoned the guests to move to the pavilion.

Mrs. Gu said at this time: "Since I was old, I often have low back pain, and the doctor said that I can't sit for a long time. I'm not feeling well right now, so I'll go back first. You are guests of the Gu Mansion today, you can feel free to visit the garden and have fun, don't be polite. ”

Seeing that Mrs. Gu's face was indeed very strange, the guests got up and cared a few words and were polite to each other. Then, Mrs. Gu took the maid's hand and left, and the guests watched Mrs. Gu leave. Ning Xia Qing secretly looked at it, and when she saw the maid reaching out to help the old lady Gu, although the old lady Gu still had a smile on her face, her hands trembled slightly.

Seeing this, the second grandmother asked the two younger siblings to help receive the guests first, and she wanted to go back with the old lady and come back after serving the old lady. The third grandmother only thought about her son in her heart, so she didn't want to go back to the house with the old lady to serve, so she immediately nodded in agreement. The fourth grandmother agreed more simply, she had long heard that among the female guests who came to the banquet today, several of them had the secret recipe for giving birth to a child, and she always wanted to ask for advice privately when there were few people, so she was naturally happy to let the second grandmother serve the old lady.

Mrs. Gu walked a few steps, but suddenly remembered something, turned back, walked up to Mrs. Ning, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, old sister, I wanted to catch up with my old sister today, but I was really unhappy, my head hurts now, my waist is sore, and I can't lift my spirits." Old sister, today you will take Qing'er and Zi'er to have a casual look in the garden, and I will send a sedan chair to Ningfu to invite you another day, and we will have a good talk. ”

"You are polite to me, you are a blessed person, your body is expensive, besides, now that you are not young, you should indeed pay more attention to your body." Mrs. Ning suddenly smiled: "Don't mention that the sedan chair is not a sedan chair, isn't it embarrassing for me." I'm here today to recognize the door, and when I visit the door later, don't dislike it. ”

"Old sister, where are you talking about this?" After Mrs. Gu said this, she couldn't even lift her eyes, she was obviously tired, and she turned around to leave, but she glanced at Ning Xia Qing casually, with a complicated expression.

The second grandmother came over, held Mrs. Gu's arm, and said respectfully, "Daughter-in-law will help you go back." Mrs. Gu didn't hear it, and only said, "Youlan come and help me", and then left the flower hall.

Ning Xia Qing sat in place, just feeding Zi'er, as if she was unaware of the surging undercurrent.

As soon as Old Lady Gu entered the house, she immediately stared at the second grandmother with a pale face, suppressed her anger and ordered, "Call the fourth girl over." ”

"Yes." The second grandmother immediately instructed the maid to call Gu Yimeng, and then stood in front of the old lady and waited for the four girls to come over with the old lady. The second grandmother didn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere, and she didn't know how to explain it.

Actually, Gu Yimeng is not the biological daughter of the second grandmother. Gu Yimeng is a concubine, but it was under the name of the second grandmother a few years ago, and the second grandmother didn't like this concubine at first.

It wasn't until the last few years that the second grandmother watched Gu Yimeng gradually slim, but her brain was stupid and stupid, how to look at it, how to be at the mercy of it, which eased her vigilance against Gu Yimeng. In addition, the second grandmother is not as good as the third master in the officialdom, and over the years, the third grandmother has helped the housekeeper in the house, and gradually divided some of the power of the second grandmother, which made the second grandmother worried.

Because of this, the second grandmother began to woo Gu Yimeng, wanting to use her to expand her influence for the second master and consolidate her position in the Gu family. But she never thought that this Gu Yimeng would be so stupid!

She never thought that Gu Yimeng would do such a thing behind her back! And that jade pendant actually fell out of the sleeve of the Wan Yanfang girl, which is really a big disaster...... Gu Yimeng is really stupid, and that Shen Zhiyuan is not a good thing...... The second grandmother was really angry at the moment, if it weren't for the fact that there were many people at the banquet, she really wanted to call Mrs. Shen and ask what was going on.

The maid reported that the four girls had arrived. The second grandmother immediately ordered the maids to go out, leaving only the two eldest maids to guard the door. Gu Yimeng walked in with her head down, and knelt in front of Old Lady Gu as soon as she came in.

Everyone in the Gu Mansion knows that the old lady is always smiling, kind to people, and rarely angry, but once she really starts a fire, no one can resist it. Old lady Gu said: "Four girls, I gave you a pair of jade pendants with Luan Feng Shuangfei before, you can bring them to me to see." ”

Gu Yimeng's body trembled like chaff, and she didn't dare to answer, just cried.

The second grandmother was also on fire in her heart, but it was not good to face Gu Yimeng in front of the old lady, so she had to bite her back molars fiercely and scolded in a low voice: "When is this happening, what's the use of you crying?" I only ask you, is the jade pendant still in your hands? ”

Gu Yimeng looked at the second grandmother with teary eyes, and replied with a sob: "I...... I gave the jade pendant to Shen Gongzi, I ...... I didn't expect him to leave the jade pendant in that kind of place......"

Gu Yimeng said while secretly raising her eyes to look at the old lady's expression, seeing that the old lady's expression was as cold as ice, she was instantly frightened, so she panicked and made all the moves: "My mother obviously told me that Shen Gongzi values me very much, and Mrs. Shen also promised this family business, so she waited for the Shen family to come and hire her, so I will ...... Yu Pei."

"Shut up!" The second grandmother was almost dizzy. She only saw Gu Yimeng at the mercy of her before, but she didn't expect that this dead girl was really a tendon, but she was so frightened by the old lady that she poured beans into a bamboo tube, and sold the second grandmother in a word!

"Sure enough, it's you!" The old lady angrily reprimanded the second grandmother: "I only found out about the Shen family and the Ning family today, but you interact with those people every day, don't you know that the Shen family has already married the Ning family?" Why do you still encourage the four girls to communicate with the Shen family? What kind of heart do you have? If this kind of thing happens today, if it spreads, the Gu family will become the laughing stock of the entire Meigong County! The four girls' lives are ruined! ”

The second grandmother was so frightened that she quickly knelt down and explained helplessly: "Yes...... It was Mrs. Shen who said that she had already divorced from the Ning family, right...... It was Mrs. Shen who said that she fell in love with the four girls in our family, so I ......"

Old Lady Gu's face was cold, and she immediately ordered: "Get Mrs. Shen for me, and I will personally ask her what this means!" ”
