Chapter 13: Adding fuel to the fire
Chengguo's wife, Fang, soon arrived.
In the hospitality flower hall, Fang and Mrs. Niu exchanged a few words of greeting, and got to the point: "I heard that the eldest girl of your mansion is back, I am really happy for Mrs. Shangshu, I wonder if I can meet the eldest girl?" β
Fang said it politely, but Old Madam Niu couldn't slack off.
Chengguo Gong is one of the four founding princes, and his daughter is the princess first, and then the queen.
"The girl was a little frightenedβ"
"Then I'll go to the eldest girl's quarters. In the past few days, rumors have been spreading, and I don't hide that Mrs. Shangshu said that I am worried about both the dog and the big girl in my heart. Now that I heard that the eldest girl is back, I can be regarded as half relieved of my heart when I see it. β
Mrs. Niu smiled and said, "Mrs. Shizi is too polite, wouldn't it be a blessing for you to go to see that girl." The old body was just afraid that she would be in a bad state and rude in front of Mrs. Shizi. β
"How could it be, the eldest girl escaped from the kidnappers after all kinds of dangers, and it is normal for people to be in a bad state."
Old Madam Niu now felt harsh when she heard the word "abductor", and told Wanshu to go to the late autumn residence to invite Feng Cheng to come over to meet the guests.
Feng Cheng freshened up and was talking to Feng Yu: "Big brother has delayed a lot of homework in order to find me in the past two days, right?" β
Qingya Academy is very famous in Beijing, Feng Yu and his cousin Feng Hui are both studying in the academy, and the two are studying hard for this autumn.
It's just that Feng Cheng knows that in that bizarre experience, his brother missed the triennial autumn festival.
The mother "died of illness", and those who served three years of mourning according to the law of Dawei were not allowed to take the exam.
Feng Yu rubbed the girl's head: "You can't finish reading the book, and there is nothing more important than finding my sister back." In the past two days, the third uncle and the second brother have also been looking for you everywhere. β
"Third uncle, they all know I'm back, right?"
You Shi smiled: "I know, your third uncle came here this morning." By the way, your aunt and uncle also came with your cousin and cousin, and since you were still asleep, I asked them to go back first. β
"Yes." There was not much emotion in the girl's dark eyes.
At this time, Bai Lu came in and reported: "Girl, someone from Changning Hall has asked you to go and let you change into the clothes of the guests." β
Feng Cheng pondered for a while, and estimated that he was a person from the Chengguo Mansion.
She had just returned home, and almost all of them who should have come to see her had come, except for someone from the Chengguo Mansion, and she couldn't think of anything else.
Seeing that Feng Cheng was about to change his clothes, Feng Yu retreated.
You Shi was a little uneasy: "I don't know who is coming, mother will accompany you." β
"Changningtang didn't invite my mother over, so my mother should stay and wait for me. I went to meet a guest as a junior, and I said a few words and went back. β
You Shi is a soft person, and he has lost his husband early, so it is not easy to have a good time with Mrs. Niu, Feng Cheng naturally does not want his mother to make up in front of the old witch.
Feng Cheng changed her clothes and walked out of the door, and Laifu ran over and rubbed her legs affectionately.
The flower cat has been taken care of, and it has changed its dirty appearance and shown a little docile.
Feng Cheng bent down and hugged Laifu up.
Wanshu from Changning Hall was taken aback: "Big girl, do you want to take this cat to meet guests?" β
Feng Cheng glanced at her and didn't speak.
Wanshu persuaded: "Big girl, although this cat saved you, it is wild and untamable in the end, and it will not be good if it disturbs the distinguished guests." β
Mama Hu's big flower face is too miserable.
The girl hugged the cat in her arms tighter, frowned, and said, "But I will be flustered without Laifu, or you will go back and tell your grandmother that I am sick and can't get out of bed." β
Wanshu didn't dare to say much now.
Mrs. Chengguo is still waiting there, if she doesn't invite the eldest girl, she will be the first to be punished.
"Big girl, please."
Feng Cheng walked forward with the cat in his arms.
Wanshu took a step behind, staring at the slender back and secretly wondering.
I have the impression that the big girl is delicate and cute, which is not quite the same as now. What exactly is different, I can't say for a while.
The maid guarding the door saw Feng Cheng coming over and raised the curtain: "The eldest girl has arrived." β
As soon as the voice in the room stopped, the wife of the prince of Chengguo, Fang, looked over.
The girl who walked in had delicate eyebrows and eyes, and she had a beautiful beauty that could not be concealed by a green dress and white skirt.
Soon her eyes were drawn to the tanuki cat in the girl's arms.
And those who come to meet guests with cats?
Fang Clan subconsciously didn't have a good impression of this kind of maverick, and frowned secretly.
Mrs. Niu was not happy to see it, and said in a deep voice: "Orange, this is Mrs. Chengguo." β
Feng Cheng came forward with the cat in his arms: "I've seen my grandmother, I've seen Mrs. Shizi." β
"Is this the cat that was rumored to have saved the big girl?" Although Fang didn't like it in his heart, he didn't show it on his face.
Feng Cheng glanced at Laifu and said with a smile: "Yes, if there is no Laifu, I won't be able to come back." β
Fang Shi looked at the girl carefully, and her pale face confirmed Old Madam Niu's previous words.
"Big girl, can you tell me what happened that day?"
Feng Cheng went to see Mrs. Niu.
Old Madam Niu looked serious: "When Mrs. Shizi asks you, you say." β
How the accident happened, she told the elders in the family.
"My cousin and I walked out of the ready-to-wear shop, and when we saw a lot of people gathered in front of us, my cousin pulled me to see the excitement. It turned out that someone was playing a monkey show, but the monkey somehow suddenly pounced on the crowd, causing a commotion. I was swept away by the crowd, and I didn't know anything as soon as my eyes went dark, and I vaguely felt a big hand covering my mouth......"
Fang Shi listened, his heart fluctuating.
Miss Feng disappeared while shopping with her cousin, so not only did the Shangshu Mansion and the government interrogate that Miss You, but the Guogong Mansion was also very concerned.
According to Miss You, she and her cousin were watching the monkey show with relish, and the monkey suddenly went berserk, and the cousin disappeared when the crowd was in a commotion.
At first, no one thought about Miss Feng's disappearance elsewhere, but as Lu Ergongzi disappeared on the same day, and many hawkers saw the young men and women dressed in the same way as the two of them going out of the city, rumors of elopement spread.
Listening to Feng Cheng talk about how he was rescued by the cat, Fang couldn't hear the loophole, but he was unwilling to have no news about his second son so far, so he saw that the girl was becoming more and more unpleasant.
"In this way, it seems to be a misunderstanding."
Old Madam Niu smiled: "Isn't it just a misunderstanding, it's a coincidence." β
"Then I won't bother Mrs. Shangshu." Fang glanced at Feng Cheng and smiled amiably, "Don't take those rumors to heart, the world is ignorant and loves to talk nonsense, if you worry about them, you will find yourself unhappy." β
Feng Cheng pursed his lips slightly.
This sounds like a relief to her, but in fact it is a rebuke to her grandmother, which reminds her grandmother that her presence will make the Guogong Mansion a topic of conversation after dinner.
Has she offended this lady of the world? so much so that the other party added fuel to the fire and pushed her into a worse situation.
The girl's eyes were clear, and she looked at the gentle and amiable woman.
understood, in the eyes of Mrs. Chengguo Gongshizi, it is the biggest sin to have a relationship with her son.
The girl Yingying smiled: "Mrs. Shizi is right, I am very lucky to be able to come back, what is not satisfied." β
The smile on the corner of Fang's mouth froze.
