Chapter 528
Chapter 528
The two daughters-in-law of the Wang family looked at each other, feeling helpless at the nagging of their mother-in-law. It was ridiculous that she was worrying about the affairs of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
In the past, when the old lady of the mansion went out, she never took their old lady seriously.
But now she dares to say it.
The old lady of the Wang family is not young, but her two daughters-in-law are in their early twenties. It is also because she has been recuperating for more than ten years that other people have become grandmothers in their thirties, but she has just had a son. The eldest daughters born out of wedlock are all getting married, and she has just had a boy.
But now he forgets the hardships he has endured and instead laughs at others.
The banquet was joyous and the atmosphere was very good.
Song Guanzhou grabbed Mu Yunzhi who was late to the table and drank several cups of wine. Mu Yunzhi was not good at drinking and soon her face turned red. "Sister Guanzhou, please forgive me."
"Since you are working so hard, just eat more to relieve your fatigue."
On the other hand, Song Guanzhou had a rosy complexion like the morning glow floating lightly on his cheeks, his eyes were as rippling as autumn water, and he was smiling, looking as beautiful as a jade.
After dinner, the sun set and the sunset glow filled the sky.
The men and women who had finished their meal gathered under the eaves, pointing at the sky and looking at the fish-scale clouds, which was quite spectacular. The men who were still eating, drinking and playing finger-guessing games, were so drunk that some of them leaned against the pillars of the eaves and even dozed off.
Pei An also ate a lot, but his eyes were clear and he didn't seem drunk at all.
Seeing an opportunity, he gathered with Qin Qingdong and Huang Zhi again, "What should we do? The maids can't recognize them, and there are so many young ladies. Looking around, half of them are wearing green brocade clothes."
Huang Zhi thought for a moment and asked the maid to invite Feng Rufeng.
Feng Rufeng was supporting her old lady as she walked towards the garden. When she heard the servant barging in front of them, she quickly scolded him, "Where is this place? What are you doing here? You scared the old lady. Watch out for your hide!"
The servant shrank his head and said, "Second Young Master, the Third Young Master asked you to come over. He had no one to do anything else with him, so he sent me here."
The old lady of the Huang family turned around and asked, "What does the third brother want your young lady to do?"
The servant did not dare to look at the old lady, and whispered, "Little..., little I don't know." Seeing this, Feng Rufeng sighed and handed her mother-in-law to Mu Yunzhi, "I'll go, Yunzhi, take care of your aunt."
Mu Yunzhi thought it was probably the maid who was poisoned.
He nodded and helped Old Lady Huang walk forward with the crowd, "Yunzhi, what happened?"
"Don't worry, auntie. No matter what happens, you can rest assured."
"That's good. Sometimes I call you sister-in-law, and sometimes I call you sister-in-law. I think this Sanlang is different today."
Mu Yunzhi lowered her head and said a few words to comfort her aunt, feeling a little sad.
It was also because of the incident, otherwise she and her cousin would be so distant now, apart from the basic greetings and courtesies, there was nothing else they said to each other.
She also noticed that among the four or five unmarried women who came to visit today, none of them seemed to have anything to do with her cousin.
Looking at my cousin again, I didn't see any special behavior towards these noble ladies.
Who is it?
Qin Youran? Not really. She looked carefully and saw that Qin Youran was very close to her, but most of the time, Qin Youran was around Song Guanzhou, as if they were real sisters.
Because Song Guanzhou was close to her, Qin Youran also called him Sister Yunzhi.
There is no sign of having an affair with her cousin——
When they arrived at the pond, the water lilies here were in full bloom. Song Guanzhou was delighted and said to Mrs. Huang, "Aunt, the flowers in this pond are in full bloom. Our lotus flowers have all withered and we are digging lotus roots." Mrs. Huang was amused by her soft voice and laughed, "Naughty monkey, if you like it, why don't you stay at your aunt's house for a few more days, okay?"
"Yes, yes, yes. I'll give you two jars of the pear blossom wine that the lady has today as a reward to take back with her. Is that okay?"
Old Madam Huang smiled so hard that her wrinkles were not evenly arranged. She laughed with the old ladies from the Qin and Liu families and said, "I thought they wanted something. If it was a rare treasure, I don't have it. But it turns out to be two jars of pear blossom wine. Not only two jars, ten jars will do."
Song Guanzhou bowed politely and expressed his gratitude.
"To be honest with you, Auntie, I just love this thing that can make you forget your worries. I'm almost done with the wine that my father secretly stored in his room."
"Duke of Zhenguo?"
The old lady of the Liu family beside him asked curiously, and Song Guanzhou smiled like a flower, "Of course it is so. The child only has him as a father now."
Hey--
Yes, the Grand Secretary of Song is also gone.
"…Have you ever returned to your hometown to visit your father and mother's graves?"
Song Guanzhou shook his head. "My brother once said that he wanted to build a hut to mourn for our parents. Silang sent people to visit him, and my brother also went on a journey. This year he wanted to go back and kowtow to our parents, but my body is not doing well. I feel pain here and there, and I have wasted my time until now."
"Take good care of yourself."
After all, it is difficult for an orphan girl, who is good-looking and beautiful, to grow up in a family like the mansion without the support of her parents.
The birthday party ended not until the evening, when dusk fell and fireworks were set off.
Pei An, Huang Zhi and Qin Qingdong met Feng Rufeng and asked about the tea delivery. They originally thought that Feng Rufeng might not remember it today, but when they heard her ask for a pot of tea outside the stream pool, she immediately remembered.
"I sent this old woman to the wife of the eldest young master of the Jin family, saying that she wanted to apologize to the wife of the fourth young master in the pavilion."
After saying this, the faces of the three of them suddenly became solemn and gloomy.
Huang Zhi's eyes became sharp, "I wonder if Second Sister-in-law still remembers the maid in front of her wearing a green jacket?"
light green?
Feng Rufeng shook her head. "The eldest young lady of the Jin family has only two maids with her today. One is her personal servant, and the other is the maid of the eldest lady. She left and came back, saying that she came to apologize to Guanzhou's brother and sister-in-law. These two maids are wearing light yellow jackets today, which are lighter than the light yellow robe of their young lady-"
Good guy!
It turns out that the old woman has poor eyesight!
Until this moment, Qin Qingdong immediately called Huang Zhi, "Sanlang, lend me two of you, go with me to stop the maid!"
Maid?
Pei An reacted immediately and bowed to Huang Zhi, "Sanlang..."
"You two, go!"
Huang Zhi was a little doubtful at this moment, wondering if the poison was for the wife of the eldest young master of the Jin family, or -? With a rage in his heart, he led the two of them outside to look for it.
Feng Rufeng was overwhelmed at this moment, and grabbed Huang Zhi, "Sanlang, what happened?"
Huang Zhi looked around and saw no one around, so he whispered, "Sister-in-law, we can't be busy right now. Find someone to look after the maidservant who is staying with the wife of the eldest young master of the Jin family. We will be there soon."
what?
Feng Rufeng was dumbfounded. "The maid of the eldest young master's wife...what happened?"
Just as he was about to ask more, Qin Qingdong and Pei An, who had stepped out of the courtyard first, stood by the door and heard Pei An's voice, "Prince, are you leaving?"
