Obviously it was a few steps away, but Qin Niang seemed to have walked for a long time, and finally turned the screen, her palms were covered with a thin layer of sweat, but she didn't have the slightest intention of stopping not purple, staring at the small couch with a half-hanging curtain, and walked there.

"Linlang ......" finally stopped in front of the curtain, her voice was a little hoarse, and finally summoned up the courage to call out the title that she had never dared to call, and at this time, she was finally qualified to call him so.

But there was no sound behind the curtains, not even the slightest sound, and the room was silent, as if there was no one.

Qin Niang's heart, which was originally full of joy, fell down all of a sudden, and anxiety swept up, she didn't care about any more temptation, and ordered the maid beside her: "Go, pick it up!" ”

The maid didn't dare to disobey, and tremblingly stepped forward and lifted the curtain with trembling hands, but saw that there was no one on the empty couch, and Cui Lin was not there.

What about people? Didn't you say that Cui Lin was drunk? She asked people to inquire about the news, saying that Cui Lin went back to the front yard alone to deal with things after the banquet was dispersed, how could he not be there?!

Her heart was in turmoil, Venus was rising in front of her, how could this be, everything had already been calculated, everything was arranged, as long as she came to the study in the front yard to see Cui Lin, everything would be logical, obviously everything was acting according to her plan, how could she not see anyone!

What should we do now? What is she going to do now?

In a panic, she took the handmaid's hand: "Go, quickly, go back to the table." ”

She must leave immediately, the old lady is afraid that she has returned to the table at this time, and her affairs will not be hidden, and if she does not leave quickly, not only will she not get what she wants, but I am afraid that everything will be buried here.

But before she could take a few steps, a man's voice came from outside: "A-Niang didn't say that she had something to tell me, why did you come here to Goro?" But what do you want to tell me? ”

It was Cui Wei, he asked the little maid while asking the little maid, and at the same time asked someone to come forward and knock on the door: "Wulang, are you in the room?" ”

Qin Niang's face turned pale, she staggered back a few steps, and looked at the half-closed door coldly, as if she had a premonition of her fate.

Compared with the heart-wrenching atmosphere in Langya Pavilion, the stage of Moxiangyuan is still lively, and the juggling of the hundred opera artists is very exciting, even Mrs. Zheng can't help but look at it a few more times, and praise it: "This Boling's hundred operas are also excellent, and there are few in Xingyang." ”

When Mrs. Cui returned to the table, she saw Qin Niang's empty couch at a glance, and frowned: "Where did Qin Niang go?" How not to see her. ”

In the past, Qin Niang followed her, and sometimes quietly left the table, but at that time, the old lady only thought that she had something important, and she would not ask more, but now the Qin Niang in the eyes of the old lady is no longer the simple, kind, gentle and obedient Qin Niang, so she is more wary of her.

The second lady on the side blinked and said with a smile: "It is said that they are not worried about Baodie, they are serving the old lady's medicine, and they want to go to see it in person, but they haven't come back yet, she is really dedicated to the old lady." ”

The third lady, who was sitting next to her silently and didn't speak, looked up in a daze: "Ah Jia is back, could it be that Qin Niang has something to delay?" ”

Old Madam Cui's face sank even more, and she instructed Ning Xiang on the side: "Go and ask someone to invite Qin Niang back." ”

Ning Xiang was about to go, but a servant girl hurriedly walked over, walked to Mrs. Cui's side, bent her knees and said a few words to the eldest lady, the eldest lady's face changed instantly, and her hand couldn't help shaking, but she quickly stabilized again, whispered a few words, and the maid hurriedly retreated.

The second lady and the third lady looked at the change in Mrs. Cui's face, and they all knew that something must have happened, but this was still at the table, and the ladies of the families and the gentlemen on the opposite side were still watching, and they didn't want to ask too much, so they could only press their minds and look at the hundred operas on the stage like chewing wax.

Mrs. Cui has been a family member for so many years, and her sharp mind is naturally not comparable to ordinary people, she can see the disgust and anger that Mrs. Cui is suppressing, she glanced at her, and did not ask.

Until the hundred plays were over, the guests said goodbye one after another, Qin Niang never returned to the table, and there were also several Langjun of the Cui family who did not come back, and in the end, only Cui Dalang helped the little maid to accompany a few elders to come out to see off the guests, and Cui Lin and Cui Wei were nowhere to be seen.

At the women's table, the Wang family sent off the guests diligently, stealing Zheng Yuan's limelight, but Zheng Yuan didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, just smiled and said goodbye to Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Sun, and accompanied Mrs. Cui and Mrs. Two, and glanced at Gu Mingzhu from time to time.

Gu Mingzhu was no different, talking to Xie Shi, and quietly followed behind Mrs. Cui, as if for her, everything was normal and nothing happened.

I thought she was a smart one before, but she couldn't think of such stupidity, it seems that she doesn't know yet, I'm afraid that at this time, the matter between Cui Lin and Qin Niang has reached the ears of Mrs. Cui, such a thing can't be hidden, and the old lady should ask to understand, no matter what, the Cui family has to give Qin Niang an explanation, then I can only let Cui Lin accept Qin Niang.

Today, Qin Niang said in front of several old ladies that she would donate her family wealth to the Cui family, and the old lady Cui has always valued Qin Niang, and this noble concubine is only afraid that it will be enough to make Gu Mingzhu's life extremely difficult in the future.

Zheng Yuan thought of this, and her smile couldn't stop showing, she couldn't wait to see Gu Mingzhu's always calm and confident face being torn.

Sure enough, after sending off the guests, Mrs. Cui said to the eldest lady, the second lady, the third lady, and the Xie family with a cold face: "You come with me, I have something to say to you." ”

As soon as she sat down in the inner hall, the old lady asked with a solemn face, "Where is Qin Niang?" Where did it go? ”

Mrs. Cui was a little hesitant, and she didn't answer immediately for a while, but the third lady said softly: "Qin Niang, this child has always been steady, I think there is something delayed, let's let someone look for it." ”

Mrs. Cui sighed, and finally spoke: "She is in the Jinghong Pavilion, and I have already asked someone to pick her up." ”

Zheng Yuan's heart began to pound, her eyes looked at Gu Mingzhu for a moment, her smile couldn't be suppressed, she knew that the next moment she should see that face change from stunned to angry to sad, that picture made her proud.

Except for those who already knew it, the rest of the people present were startled, and the third lady was even more stunned: "How can it be...... Went to the Thrilling Pavilion? ”

It was the study of the Lang Jun, and Qin Niang, a lady who had not left the cabinet, passed quietly by herself, it was really ......

Old Madam Cui was already pale, closed her eyes, and it took a long time to squeeze out a few words from between her teeth: "With whom?" ”
