Xia Mengran saw it, stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go to the palace to confront the prince now." ”

Xia Chuanyuan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly waved his hand: "No, do you think this is a glorious thing, don't say it's not, even if it is, the prince has really had a relationship with you, you can't say it anyway, your third sister has already made a marriage contract with the prince, and you must not obstruct it." ”

Xia Mengran's eyes widened, it seemed that Xia Chuanyuan was incredulous, "Daddy, is it only the third sister who is a treasure in your eyes, and the daughter is a mustard?" A daughter's life is not as important as the reputation of the third sister? Daddy, are you trying to force your daughter to death? ”

Xia Chuanyuan frowned, and said coldly: "Presumptuous, you dare to talk to your father like this, the punishment for kneeling in the ancestral hall last time is still not enough, come on, pull this rebel girl down for me, lock her up in the ancestral hall, and don't let her out without my order." ”

The nursing home who stayed outside the door hurriedly walked in, one person dragged Xia Mengran with one arm and walked out, Xia Mengran cried and wailed, and Wei also knelt and crawled to Xia Chuanyuan's feet, "Please be merciful, let Ran'er go, Ran'er is just a child......"

Xia Chuanyuan raised his foot and broke free of Wei's arm, and said, "You remember, if the fifth young lady escapes without permission, then don't want your head." ”

This was obviously Xia Chuanyuan's most ruthless punishment of Xia Mengran, Xia Mengran was dragged down, and Xia Mengning also got up and left.

Wei Shi looked at the messy scene, and suddenly seemed to be ten years old, and his face was gray.

Xia Mengning returned to the Bamboo Branch Garden, and Jiu'er said worriedly: "Miss, Fifth Miss, she ......"

Xia Mengning shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't worry about Eldest Sun Yun, he won't do such a thing, there must be some misunderstanding in this." ”

Jiu'er nodded, "Well, the slave also believes in the prince." ”

Wu Qing was puzzled on the side, "What are you talking about, why can't I understand?" ”

Xia Mengning smiled lightly, "What you heard last night was not an illusion, it was real." ”

As he spoke, he told Wu Qing what had just happened in detail, and after listening to it, Wu Qing was stunned for a while, and then couldn't help laughing.

Jiu'er was stunned for a moment and said, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Wu Qing finally held back his laughter, put aside the dim sum plate in his hand, and said mysteriously: "I went back to Baolin Hall for breakfast this morning, and on the way back, I heard someone talking on the street, the second young master of the Dingxi Palace's cave room did not return all night, and now the prince and the princess are looking for someone in the capital." ”

Xia Mengning was stunned for a moment, and just as she wanted to say something, she saw Wu Qing blink and said: "It turned out to be a mistake, it's fun now, the fairy in the eldest grandson's mind is you, and Xia Mengran thought that the senior brother took possession of her......"

Saying that, Wu Qing smiled and said: "Making it like this is definitely big news that has caused a sensation in the capital......"

Xia Mengning smiled, and Jiu'er realized it on the side: "So that's the case, then doesn't this mean that the fifth miss was with the second young master of the prince's mansion last night......

Xia Mengning couldn't help laughing, it was really good and evil would be rewarded in the end, there was no need to meddle in this matter at all, Xia Mengran made it like this by herself.

Wu Qing leaned over and whispered: "Since this is the case, let's just push it out, so as to add some fun to this boring life." ”

Xia Mengning covered her mouth with a handkerchief and chuckled, stretched out her hand to gesture to Wu Qing, Wu Qing smiled and nodded, and walked out briskly.

Jiu'er didn't know why, she looked at Xia Mengning with a puzzled look, Xia Mengning smiled, "This ancient saying is really very good, it is forgivable to do evil in heaven, you can't live if you do it yourself!" ”

Night.

Xia Mengran was sitting on the cloth cushion of the ancestral hall and wept secretly, at the door of the ancestral hall stood two guards with wooden sticks in their hands every other step, when Xia Mengran was brought here at the beginning, he also thought about breaking out, but he tried many times, he didn't have a chance at all, and now he is locked here, and he doesn't know when he can get out.

At this moment, there was a muffled sound outside the door, Xia Mengran was stunned, and was standing up to go to the door to find out, when he saw that the door of the ancestral hall was opened, and a black-clothed masked man appeared at the door.

Xia Mengran was stunned for a moment, the man in black hurriedly stretched out his head to look around, turned his head and said: "Fifth Miss, the fifth aunt was sent to save Miss out, and now that the nursing home outside has been solved in Xia, Miss should go quickly." ”

Xia Mengran was overjoyed, stood up and walked out, and just walked out of the ancestral hall door and retreated, uneasy: "If I leave, what will my aunt do?" ”

The man in black shook his head, "The fifth aunt asked me to bring a message to Miss, and my aunt said, the Prime Minister's side is iron-hearted, and now the only way out is to make this matter public to the world, Miss, go to the palace quickly, if it is discovered by the Prime Minister, it will be too late." ”

Xia Mengran listened, thought about it carefully, and then said: "It's okay, when I become the princess, I can repay my aunt." ”

As he spoke, he ran out without looking back.

The man in black looked at Xia Mengran's back, and couldn't help but laugh a few times, "As a princess, I'm not looking at your own virtues, it's strange that senior brother will like you......"

As he spoke, the man in black tore off the face towel, took off the black clothes on his body three times and divided them by two, lit a fire in the incense burner in the ancestral hall, and then swaggered out of the ancestral hall.

In Yong'an Hall, Xia Chuanyuan was sitting behind the desk, holding a brush in his hand, annotating the official documents he had read little by little, Xiao Liuzi came in with snacks and tea, put them aside lightly and said: "Master, this is the dim sum and fragrant tea sent by the third lady, saying that it is for the master to make supper, sir, you can taste a little." ”

Xia Chuanyuan put down his pen, rubbed his eyebrows and said: "Recently, government affairs have been busy, and I don't have time to see Mei'er and Kang'er, Ning'er is a sensible child, and I am relieved to have her in this mansion to look at." ”

As he spoke, he took the fragrant tea handed over by Xiao Liuzi and took a sip of it, pursed his mouth tightly, as if he had an endless aftertaste.

Xiao Liuzi smiled on the side: "The third lady also asked the slave to talk, saying that it was to let the master pay attention to rest, although the temperature is rising in spring, it is inevitable to pay attention to adding clothes at night." ”

Xia Chuanyuan nodded with satisfaction, "Among so many of my children, only Ning'er really cares about me, I used to treat their mother and daughter badly......"

Saying that, Xia Chuanyuan sighed and said, "Fortunately, it's not too late to know......

Saying that, Xia Chuanyuan ate two pieces of dim sum and asked, "Then Wei, are you still kneeling outside?" ”

Xiao Liuzi's eyes rolled, and he remembered what Xia Mengning had told him just now, so he hurriedly spoke: "When the slave first came in, I saw that the fifth aunt was still kneeling outside, it was not too cold during the day, but at night, the clothes on the fifth aunt were a little thinner. ”

Xia Chuanyuan frowned, put down the teacup in his hand, stood up, and walked out.

Xiao Liuzi opened the door for Xia Chuanyuan, as soon as the door opened, Xia Chuanyuan saw Wei wrapped in light makeup, the cold wind outside came one after another, Wei only wore a white silk coat, with an apricot yellow cardigan short coat, the thin figure trembled slightly in the cold wind, it looked really pitiful.

Xia Chuanyuan was not a ruthless person, but now when he saw Wei's appearance, he couldn't help but soften, clenched his fists and coughed lightly on the side of his mouth.

Wei raised his head, there were still a little tears on his white face, and he looked at Xia Chuanyuan with watery eyes, "Old man......"

This call really made Xia Chuanyuan's heart melt, and he quickly took off his coat, walked to Wei's side, and put Wei on it.

"The spring is cold, why don't you take care of your body like this?"

Wei Shi grabbed Xia Chuanyuan's hand by the trend, "Master, please, please help Ran'er, even if you go and listen to Ran'er tell you about last night's incident, no matter what, you will break Ran'er's heart if you arbitrarily punish Ran'er into the ancestral hall." ”

As soon as he finished saying this, a line of tears rolled down from the corners of Wei's eyes, Xia Chuanyuan looked at it, a little moved, stretched out his fingers to wipe away Wei's tears, and said softly: "Get up." ”

As he spoke, he helped Wei's body up and said, "Since you insist like this, then I'll take a look." ”

Wei Shi was speechless with excitement, nodded hurriedly, and walked in the direction of the ancestral hall with Xia Chuanyuan.

Xiao Liuzi led the way in front, and the three of them arrived at the ancestral hall, but they found that the guards who had been sent by Xia Chuanyuan to guard the ancestral hall had fainted on the ground, Xia Chuanyuan frowned, shook off Wei's hand and walked into the ancestral hall in a few steps, and looked around, where was Xia Mengran's figure.

Wei was stunned, he didn't know why things had become like this, at this time, Xia Chuanyuan was already furious, and said loudly: "Come on, go out and find it for me, even if you turn the capital over, you have to find this rebel girl." ”

When Wei heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward to explain, "Master...... Ah......h

Before he finished speaking, he was slapped to the ground by Xia Chuanyuan, Wei covered his face and lay on the ground, Chu Chu looked at Xia Chuanyuan pitifully, "Master, Ran'er must have been bewitched by someone......

"Shut up!" Xia Chuanyuan was furious, "As a boudoir woman, you are so shameless, what else do you have to say as a biological mother, let me go back and stay immediately." ”

And Xia Mengran, who ran away, ran straight to the Dingxi Palace, which was only one street away from the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was already midnight, and there was no figure on the street, Xia Mengran kept running and running, and finally ran to the door of the Dingxi Palace, but he didn't expect to be stopped by the guards at the door just as he was about to step forward.

"Dare to disrupt the people, dare to trespass into the palace, and retreat quickly."

Xia Mengran shook his head and said eagerly: "I am the fifth lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I have something important to do with the prince." ”

The guard guarding the door was stunned, rubbed his eyes and said, "Hey? Aren't you the one who wanted to pretend to be Miss Qianjin last time? ”

As he spoke, the guard hurriedly said to his companion, "Come, take a look, is it the last tea party, that is, she is going to pretend to be Miss Qianjin?" ”

Xia Mengran was stunned, and another guard came over to take a closer look, and immediately shouted: "It's not, she was the one who was the woman last time." ”
