Early the next morning, the carriage that sent Xiao Yiran and others firmly leaned in front of the door of the Zhenguo Mansion.

Xiao Yiran lifted the curtain and looked out, only to see the surrounding people buzzing, and the young ladies who received the invitation were all dressed in pearlescent and gorgeous colors, and walked into the gate under the service of the maid. There were a number of horse-drawn carriages parked unevenly at the entrance, making the road more and more congested. The little servants of the Zhenguo Mansion were sweating profusely and shuttling left and right, beckoning the families to park the carriage.

Xiao Yijing jumped out of the car first, she raised her chin and helped the expensive headdress, and then glanced at Xiao Yixian, who was getting out of the car closely: "Eldest sister, you see that so many people are here today, and I don't know what tricks Murong Liang is doing?" ”

That Murong Liang's hard-talking temperament is well-known in the circle of noble women, and she has never seen her take the initiative to hold such a big banquet.

"Be careful!" Xiao Yixian scolded: "This is no better than at home, you can't be open-mouthed anymore." ”

"Got it, got it." Xiao Yijing pursed her lips impatiently, then turned her head to Xiao Yiran, who was already standing behind her, and said: "Third sister, the people who came today are all young ladies from prominent families, you have to follow us closely, if something happens, no one will clean up the mess for you at that time!" ”

Having said that, she didn't mean to take Xiao Yiran with her at all, and went straight into it with her legs.

Xiao Yixian smiled helplessly: "Third sister, second sister, she has this temperament, don't take it to heart." ”

Xiao Yiran smiled good-naturedly: "How come?" The second sister is right, we are all representing the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion today, so we naturally have to be cautious in our words and deeds. ”

Seeing that she really didn't mean to be angry, Xiao Yixian smiled with satisfaction, and then pulled her into the door.

is not as good as Xiao Yiran, a native bun who grew up in the suburbs and has no interpersonal interactions, Xiao Yixian and Xiao Yijing have attended countless banquets since they were children, and they have made a lot of noble ladies and ladies. A short time after entering, several young ladies waved their handkerchiefs and called their names.

"Sister Xian! Sister Jing! Here! Four or five young ladies gathered together and raised their hands at them.

As soon as she saw her little sisters, Xiao Yijing immediately ran towards them happily, and at the same time shouted Xiao Yixian behind her.

Of course, Xiao Yixian was very happy to see her friend, but there was also Xiao Yiran standing next to her, which made her embarrassed for a while: "Third sister, or ......... Come with me, I'll introduce you. ”

"No, big sister, go play, I'll enjoy the flowers around here." Xiao Yiran refused. Those are all good friends of Xiao Yijing and Xiao Yixian, isn't she embarrassed when she goes? Besides, she didn't have anything in common with these boudoir ladies.

"It's fine." Xiao Yixian nodded, and after speaking, she couldn't wait to go towards those people.

"Sister Xian, we've been waiting for you for a long time." Seeing her coming, a young girl with a few freckles on her face complained.

Xiao Yixian apologized slightly: "The first time my third sister came to this kind of occasion, I was afraid that she would be uncomfortable, so I told her a few words." ”

"Third sister? Is that your third sister who grew up in the suburbs? The girl covered her mouth and exclaimed.

"Isn't that her!" Xiao Yijing interjected: "What? Big sister, she didn't come with you? ”

"The third sister said she wanted to walk alone."

"It's really lovely, if something happens, don't say that we don't take a good look at her." Xiao Yijing glanced at Xiao Yiran.

Which of these young ladies has not been exposed to the back house since childhood, so as soon as they saw the appearance of their two little sisters, they estimated that they might not like the third sister who had just returned home, so they quickly diverted the topic and stopped talking about her.

Although Xiao Yiran is admiring the flowers here, he actually sees the looks and speculations of the people around him clearly. She walked away a little less interested, trying to calm her ears.

Just as she was walking, suddenly a little maid bumped into her body, Xiao Yiran just wanted to say sorry, but suddenly felt that there was something more in her palm, her heart moved, and she clenched her hand quietly.

"Your pardon! Forgive your sins! The slave didn't mean it. After the girl hit her, she bowed down and apologized.

"No problem." Xiao Yiran helped her up, not missing a glimmer of light in her eyes.

The little maid glanced at her palm, then ran away with a few words of thanks.

Xiao Yiran's face condensed, she immediately walked to a secluded place and opened the note, and found that there were only three words on it.

It seemed that Murong Liang had asked her to meet here, she thought in her heart, then put away the note, asked a maid on the side of the road, and walked towards Yafeng Pavilion.

Inside the Yafeng Hall

"Why hasn't my sister come yet?" Murong Liang kept looking into the distance, "Brother, did you think that the maid who delivered the letter would get lost?" ”

Murong Yuan, who was sitting in the pavilion, looked helpless: "Can you just sit down quietly and wait?" ”

"What? Do you think I'm noisy? Murong Liang pouted and ran to him, just as he wanted to reason with him, but saw Murong Yuan raise his hand to stop her, looked into the distance and said, "It's here." ”

"Really!" She turned her head excitedly, and sure enough, she saw the person she had been talking about for a long time: "Sister Yiran!" Murong Liang ran over.

Xiao Yiran was grabbed by her and dragged to the pavilion.

didn't want Murong Yuan to be there, Xiao Yiran smiled and gave a blessing.

Murong Yuan also nodded to her: "Sister She's naughty, which makes Miss Xiao smile." ”

"Where is Murong Houye, the fence is lively and cute, and I am very happy to stay with her."

"Look! Look! You think I'm talking a lot! Murong Liang yelled and gave Murong Yuan a grimace.

Seeing this, Murong Yuan and Xiao Yiran both shook their heads with a smile.

After the three of them joked, Murong Yuan suddenly said with a straight face: "Miss Xiao, there is something I want to tell you below." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yiran also looked stunned, and Murong Liang spontaneously left a few zhang to watch the wind for them.

After inviting Xiao Yiran to sit down, Murong Yuan got straight to the point and said, "She told me about the matter you asked Sister She to check last time, but now I have found out some eyebrows." ”

Xiao Yiran couldn't help but get closer.

"As the girl said, there is a killer organization on the mainland, called Weiyang Palace. Its power is intertwined, and there are countless masters under it, and it is said that the strength of its hall master is even more unfathomable. If ordinary people want to hire the killer inside, they must find the operator in a special location and then pay a lot of money. ”

"Heavy money? How much does it cost? Xiao Yiran frowned.

"The starting price is five thousand taels of gold."

That's a lot of money! Before, the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion offered a reward for her only one hundred taels of gold, and this Weiyang Palace actually cost at least five thousand taels to kill someone. How can ordinary people afford so much gold, it seems that if they want to kill her, they must be rich or expensive.

Murong Yuan also thought of this, he suddenly felt a little sympathetic to the girl in front of him, and couldn't help but kindly remind: "Miss Xiao, the expenses of our Zhenguo Mansion for half a year are only about five thousand taels, and that person can come up with so much money at once, presumably his status is not under our Guogong Mansion." If you want to continue the investigation, then I'm afraid it will ......."

He didn't finish his next words, but Xiao Yiran understood what he meant: if she continued to investigate, it would definitely be difficult, and maybe she would be killed again!
