Chapter 10: The Missing Third Lady

"What's wrong?" Before Mu Lingkong entered the pavilion, the voice came in first.

Meng Ruyue glanced at her sideways, and immediately turned her head to stare at Song Lanzhi viciously.

And the maid next to her, Xiangqiao, has neatly stated the process, "This Miss Song, just now I must invite my young lady to drink tea, my young lady refused three times, she still persevered, the last time, the young lady gently pushed her hand away, who knew that she didn't hold her teacup steadily, splashed herself full of tea, and now blame our young lady!" ”

Xiangqiao is very clever, the bamboo tube pours beans like a clear explanation of the cause and effect, and "certainly", "refusal", "not steady" is even more stressful, very alert.

The strange lady who was holding Song Lanzhi over there shouted, "What do you mean by not holding it steady, will Lanzhi still splash herself with water?" Who here doesn't know that Meng Ruyue has a bad temperament and a big temper! ”

"Yes, who here doesn't know that Ruyue has a bad temperament and a big temper!" Mu Lingkong took a leisurely sentence. Everyone didn't seem to expect her to answer this sentence, and their eyes fell on her in surprise.

She smiled at Meng Ruyue comfortingly, and then turned to Song Lanzhi, "Dare to ask if Miss Song and Ruyue have a good relationship?" ”

It was all to the point of splashing water, of course the relationship was not good, Song Lanzhi did not answer.

Mu Lingkong then asked, "Then when Miss Song went up to invite Ruyue to tea, didn't she think that Ruyue would refuse?" ”

The people present thought that Meng Ruyue's temper was not in line with her eyes, and she had never been too lazy to take care of it, so she wouldn't drink it.

A few smart young ladies had already vaguely guessed what Mu Lingkong was going to say. People have the instinct to seek good fortune and avoid evil, and if the relationship is not good, they have to go up to ask for tea, isn't this deliberately looking for trouble!

Song Lanzhi knew that she couldn't go on with Mu Lingkong anymore, and lowered her head and her eyes turned a little red, "I just want to repair the relationship with Ruyue, I thought she would take it!" ”

"Okay, just as you thought it would be," Mu Lingkong nodded, "Then when Ruyue repeatedly refused, why did you continue, don't you know, she has a bad temperament and a big temper, and she has long been impatient, and you have to send tea again and again, isn't it provoking her to lose her temper?" You really didn't think this would happen? ”

Meng Ruyue finally showed a smile on her face, Mu Lingkong turned around and rolled her eyes, this kind of small trap can be bait.

The young lady who was holding Song Lanzhi quietly let go of her and took a few steps back, Song Lanzhi noticed all kinds of eyes around her, and sobbed, "Could it be that I deliberately splashed it, what good is it for me to lose my honor in front of everyone on this kind of day!" ”

"There are so many benefits!" Mu Lingkong smiled, "Do you need me to list them for you?" For example, against Meng Ruyue, a competitive opponent, or relying on the image of a weak person to show his face in front of some people and win sympathy, who knows! ”

Some of the people she said naturally meant the sons of the family who rushed over from elsewhere when they heard the movement.

He bowed slightly to the group of people in the pavilion, "Today has lost everyone's interest, and the little girl will take the lead!" After saying that, he threw up his sleeves and left, without any intention of continuing to participate in the flower party.

After only a few steps away, Meng Ruyue followed silently.

She tilted her head and was slightly surprised, "Why are you leaving, don't you participate in the flower party?" ”

Meng Ruyue pursed her lips in disgust, "If you don't participate, it's disappointing, can't I get married if I don't participate in these flower poetry meetings!?" ”

Until the two of them walked away, some of the sons of the family standing not far from the pavilion were still amazed, "Which one of these young ladies looks like a flower and a moon, and the key character is so interesting!" ”

Sheng Yuxi put his hand on the pergola and looked at Mu Lingkong carefully, until he couldn't see his back, then turned around and said hesitantly to the man next to him, "This is the eldest lady of the Meng family, Meng Ruqing, why is it different from the person in my impression......

The eldest lady of the Meng family in his impression has a bit of talent in Cloud Chasing City, is good at writing poetry, and always makes some wonderful and wonderful sentences, but she is arrogant and unpleasant. But he always likes to appear on the poetry meeting, and after winning the applause of the house, he looked at his cousin with three points of shyness and seven points proudly, His Royal Highness the Prince, Feng Mingzhen.

Feng Mingzhen had already turned around and walked back, leaving only a tall and slender back, his clothes were flying, and his voice came from afar, "It turns out that not only is he fast, but he also speaks very neatly......"

"What?" Sheng Yuxi's face was full of confusion, but unfortunately no one answered him.

When Mu Lingkong and Meng Ruyue returned to the carriage, Meng Ruyue still couldn't stop smiling, "Song Lanzhi's tearful appearance at the end is really funny, hum, she deserves to be unlucky to find me unhappy, and now I will make her unhappy!" ”

Mu Lingkong didn't feel her excitement, lifted the curtain, and glanced out of the car, "What about Meng Ruyun, won't she go with us?" ”

"She?" Meng Ruyue pursed her lips, "It's rare to have this kind of opportunity, of course she won't let it go!" Let's go, her carriage is waiting for her outside anyway! ”

So Mu Lingkong lowered the curtain of the carriage, and the carriage staggered towards the house.

In front of the mansion, Meng Ruyue jumped out of the carriage first, and then turned around to help Mu Lingkong, she got out of the car to stand firmly, and heard Meng Ruyue shouting "Dad" at the door, just happened to meet Meng Huai'an who was about to go out.

This is the second time Mu Lingkong has seen Meng Huai'an since the Mid-Autumn Festival, still wearing a black brocade robe, and still having an uncomfortable gaze.

She bowed her head slightly and saluted after Meng Ruyue.

Meng Huai'an nodded lightly, withdrew his gaze from Mu Lingkong, and asked the two, "Where have you been?" ”

Meng Ruyue replied obediently, "Let's go to the flower party held by Princess Kangping!" ”

Meng Huai'an nodded, as if he was in a hurry, he didn't ask them anything more, and hurriedly got into the carriage at the door.

After returning home, the two went back to their respective hospitals.

As a result, before dinner, Mu Lingkong was suddenly called to Qingchun Hall by the old lady for questioning. When she arrived at Qingchun Hall, she saw that Meng Ruyue was also there, and the eldest lady was sitting next to her. And under the old lady's knees, there was a woman who was crying silently, and it was actually the evening aunt.

Mu Lingkong secretly cast a questioning glance at Meng Ruyue, his eyes skimmed his aunt, and he saw Meng Ruyue slowly shaking her head, indicating that she didn't know what the situation was.

Everyone only heard Aunt Wan's cry echoing in the lobby for a while, and they all felt inexplicable in their hearts.

Finally, the eldest lady opened her mouth and asked, "Is there something wrong with Mother summoning us here?" Aunt Wan, what's wrong with this? ”

The old lady patted Aunt Wan's back, "Don't cry, let's talk about it, I heard you cry for a long time, but I didn't understand what happened!" ”

Aunt Wan made things clear intermittently, it turned out that Meng Ruyun, who went out to participate in the flower party at the same time, actually didn't come back!

Mu Lingkong and Meng Ruyue glanced at each other, and Meng Ruyue asked, "When we went back to the house, Meng Ruyun should still be chatting with her sister in the courtyard, did Aunt Wan send someone to ask?" Did you go to a house to play? ”

Aunt Wan cried, "I sent someone to ask, and Miss Li, who was good friends with her, said that they left the courtyard at the same time, and they would go back to their respective mansions later." ”

"That means you didn't see anyone on the way home?" Mu Lingkong asked in a deep voice.

Aunt Wan wiped her tears and replied, "It should be, Yun'er never runs around at will!" ”

The old lady sighed, "You are really ...... Hurry up and let the family go out to find someone, you cry here for a long time! ”

So most of the people in the house were sent out, and everyone sat in Qingchun Hall and waited for news. When the time came, the old lady couldn't hold it anymore, so she went indoors to rest first.

Meng Ruyue looked at the dark sky outside, and didn't see the news from the family for a long time, and muttered in a low voice: "Meng Ruyun shouldn't have anything wrong!" The voice was very quiet, but because the hall was too quiet, the late aunt who was originally on the chair jumped up suddenly, "Bah, crow's mouth, don't let you curse my Yun'er, Yun'er must be fine!" It must be fine! She muttered a few words as if to comfort herself, and sat down slowly again.

Meng Ruyue was startled by her crazy appearance, shrunk back in the chair, and stopped moving.

In fact, at this time, everyone knows in their hearts that they haven't found anyone so late, and most of them are more than lucky.

Finally, a housekeeper ran in out of breath, "Madam, third lady...... Man found! ”

Aunt Wan stood up suddenly, "Where are the people?" ”

Jia Ding swallowed, "In...... ...... in Aoyagi Lane"

Aunt Wan rolled her eyes, and fell straight back.
