Xiao Yu retracted his gaze indifferently, took the wine handed over by Ji Heng, and drank it cleanly in one gulp.

He came to congratulate Mrs. Ji on her birthday today at the behest of his father, and the prince gave the courtiers and daughters on their birthdays, which is already a great honor on behalf of the royal family, and Duke Wen Guo planned to invite him to the backyard as a guest, but Xiao Yu had a good relationship with Ji Heng, and he was about the same age as a group of sons, and he didn't like to deal with those bureaucrats, so he sat down with the junior sons.

But I don't want to meet this bastard here!

Xiao Yu thought about the irritability of the past few days, his face tightened, and his face was gloomy.

The skeletal fingers rested on the cup, gripping it tightly.

It's just that he is full of resentment at the moment, but he can only endure it, and even he is a dignified son, and he has to hide from this thing!

Otherwise, if she was asked to figure out what happened to him in Yan's Zhuangzi that night, and figure out the gang of fugitives who appeared in the suburbs of Beijing...

Although she is stupid, once she reveals her tone and goes out, there are people who are not stupid!

This matter is absolutely confidential, and even the prince does not know about it!

Xiao Yu thought about the jade pendant that he had been hanging close to him and was walked away by that bastard, and his eyes became cold inch by inch.

Putting down the chopsticks, he wiped his mouth with the cloth towel handed over by the little guy.

He said "full", got up and left the table first.

Ji Heng exchanged glances with Wu Zizhang, put down his chopsticks, and motioned for everyone who stood up to sit down first.

and Wu Zizhang quickly chased out.

After three rounds of drinking, the screen outside was suddenly opened, and a figure rushed over.

The young ladies who had been eating carefully before put down their chopsticks neatly, sat up straight, their faces were solemn, and their eyes peeked at the four sons of the Wu family who rushed into the room and went straight to Ning Xi!

"Haven't finished eating? What's the meaning of this fruit wine, the eldest brother said, please go to Chunxi Pavilion to listen to the play later. “

It was the youngest of the fourth brother of the Wu family, Wu Zimin.

Wu Zimin is a year younger than Ning Xi, but he is a head taller than Ning Xi, wearing a sapphire blue slim robe, handsome and extraordinary, and vibrant.

The fourth brother of the Wu family has been protecting Ning Xi since he was a child, and he has been with him all these years, and he has a very good relationship with Ning Xi.

"I haven't finished eating it yet, this sweet and sour elbow is excellent."

Ning Xi didn't put down his chopsticks, looking unfinished.

Ji Shuyuan also pursed her lips and laughed, "As long as you can eat, Ziyu's cooking skills can't feed you, glutton." “

Ziyu is the second oldest and the best at cooking.

”..... Ziyu is also here? “

Ning Xi put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth.

Didn't Wu Ziyu go to the military camp on the outskirts of Beijing, in the name of experience, but in fact, he taught the cooks in the barracks? Coming back so soon?

"It's coming, it's coming, the eldest brother and the third brother are also here, everyone is here today, let's go out and make waves." Wu Zimin said as he grabbed Ning Xi's wrist and lifted her up, and beckoned Ji Shuyuan and Zheng Qiuyue, who are often together, to be together.

"Let's go, let's go." Ning Xi leaned over, Ji Shuyuan and Zheng Qiuyue also got up one after another, Su Qiao drank some fruit wine and was already a little confused at this time, listening to Ji Shuyuan calling her, she didn't think about it, she got up and went out with her, planning to sober up.

The girls who were sitting in the room watched the group chirp through the outer room.

Although Xiao Yu left the table in advance, he had no intention of leaving, Ji Heng invited everyone to go to the back garden together, Wu Zizhang, the eldest brother of the Wu family, Wu Ziyu, the third brother Wu Ziyao, accompanied by the Gu family's son, the Liu family's son, and several noble young masters.

Wu Zimin took Ning Xi to the garden, first sobered up, consumed food, and called the three brothers to listen to the play together.

Seeing that he had arrived at the garden, he could already see the young masters with excellent manners in front of him, so Wu Zimin ran over first.

Ning Xi and Ji Shuyuan followed closely, Su Qiao was a little dizzy in a daze, said hello to Zheng Qiuyue and sat on the smooth stone by the lake, she rested first.

Su Qiao was overwhelmed by alcohol and Ning Xi knew it, and when she saw her, she didn't stop her, and followed Wu Zimin into the garden.

Ji Heng had already taken Xiao Yu and the others to the viewing hall in the depths, Wu Zimin was about to follow, but he heard a scream behind him, although the sound was not far away, it still pierced Ning Xi's eardrums at once.

…… It's Su Qiao!

Almost instantly, Ning Xi had already determined that it was Su Qiao's voice.

Ning Xi paused violently, and his chest stabbed like a knife for a moment, trembling terribly.

Without even thinking about it, she hurriedly ran back, her face pale as a layer of tissue paper, and even more lined with the bloodshot scarlet in her eyes.

This time is different from the previous life, the birthday banquet of the Ji family in the previous life was not so grand and lively.

She just gave a congratulatory gift at the beginning, and just greeted Mrs. Ji Sun and wished her birthday.

Who came here in this life, what would happen, she didn't know!

Ning Xi ran to the lake in a panic, and Ji Shuyuan reacted and hurriedly called someone and ran over.

On such an important occasion, if something happens to someone, the Ji family will be to blame.

When I got closer, I saw many people around the lake, and Su Qiao's maid Liusha turned pale with fright.

There are three layers inside and three layers outside these people, and none of them are water-clear, so they just watched Su Qiao, who somehow fell into the lake, splashing in the water and shouting for help.

Out of the corner of Ning Xi's eyes, he suddenly saw Lu Ruoyan and Du Ruhuan running away along the trail in a hurry, although the back was fleeting, Ning Xi would never admit his mistake.

With a flash of cold light in his eyes, he drilled into the crowd.

—

There is a three-storey viewing pavilion in the depths of Ji's garden, there is a place for rest and entertainment on the first floor, everything is complete, on the second floor along the window railing, you can see the rare flowers in the garden, smell the fragrance of flowers, go to the upper floor, you can overlook the whole picture of the whole Ji Mansion after reaching the top, the pavilions and pavilions in front are numerous, the rockery behind is craggy, and the scenery is all around.

Under the pavilion along the cobblestone road all the way to the edge of the lake, you can just turn back, it is specially designed by Wen Guogong for Sun's family, it is convenient to climb the height and watch the scenery without being too tired when turning.

Xiao Yu came by order, and left after lunch, which was a little inappropriate.

But it was inevitable to confront that "bastard", so Xiao Yu had to stay away.

The dignified son actually wanted to "hide", and his heart was extremely depressed.

Walking absentmindedly, listening to Ji Heng introduce the flowers and plants in his garden, talking about the wonderful use of the viewing pavilion, but he was very interested.

Before he could rest in the pavilion, he heard a pop of water by the lake, and then he heard someone screaming for help.

Ji Heng's face stiffened, and he arched his hand apologetically at Xiao Yu, and hurriedly took the little servant to check.
