Since arriving in the capital, she always wanted to find an opportunity to visit Wen Jiang, her good sister from the dance club. However, either she was too busy to get away, or she was worried. It wasn't that she didn't want to visit Wen Jiang, it was just that she didn't want to go see Wen Jiang.
Thinking that the Da Sinong Mansion where Wen Jiang lived was also a high-class mansion with a complicated staff, Gong Yueyue was a little frightened. After several struggles, it was postponed until today.
Wen Jiang wrote to her shortly after she arrived in the capital, inviting her to be a guest. The letter also mentioned that she also wanted to come to the Xiping Marquis Mansion to visit Gong Yueyue, but she was a bride and could not leave the house without permission. Gong Yueyue knew that,
The Da Sinong Mansion where Wen Jiang lives is probably like all the noble families, suffering from the common problems of inner houses in high-ranking families.
This makes it imprinted on the subconscious mind, not wanting to join in the fun in crowded places in the house.
However, the current situation is exactly the opposite. She is very eager to get out of the house and breathe the outside air. Even if it only takes half a day, she can relax her nerves, right? Of course, if she can avoid Zhai Yuan's mother's clutches, she can
Even half a day is good.
Gong Yueyue glanced at Wu Yao gratefully and asked quietly: "Brother, did you ask Fifth Sister to post it?"
"Bamei, don't ask so many questions. Get ready. Let's go to Da Sinong Mansion tomorrow and have a fun day. Oh, by the way, I have made an appointment with Mou Zidu. We will go out for a drink tomorrow night. Bamei, although
Don’t worry about chatting and joking with Fifth Sister. It’s best to have dinner at Fifth Sister’s place before it’s too late to go back home! Well, it’s better for Mouzi to spend some money.” Wu Yao twirled the wine baron and looked at him again at the end.
Gong Yueyue raised her eyes.
Gong Yueyue knew that the opportunity to go out to meet Wen Jiang this time was arranged by the eldest son Wu Yao in advance. At that moment, she gratefully called "elder brother" and nodded heavily: "Thank you, eldest brother, Bamei Minggan."
mind!"
"Okay, don't talk about what you said to outsiders. They are all brothers and sisters. They are saying thank you or not. Put away the letter quickly and read it again when you go back!" Wu Yao pretended to have a straight face again, but his eyes were full of smiles.
.
No matter how pretentious it was, it would be obvious. Gong Yueyue immediately collected Wen Jiang's letter and continued to drink.
Soon after the Yanyin ended, Wu Zhong, Wu Wei and Wu Zan said goodbye to everyone and went back to the fifth camp of the Northern Army.
During dinner, Ke announced to all the sisters-in-law that they would go to the Da Sinong Mansion tomorrow to attend a chrysanthemum appreciation banquet, and asked everyone to go back and prepare well so as not to embarrass the Xiping Hou Mansion.
Inadvertently looking at the screen where Zhai Yuan's mother was hiding, Ke told her in a meaningful way: "...Always remember that you are a noble daughter of the Wu clan. Don't be ignorant of etiquette and lose your sense of propriety! It will be a loss!
My reputation as a good friend is a small matter, and it is more than I can bear to bring trouble to others! Okay, let's all go." Ke Shi stroked his increasingly bulging belly with one hand, and waved away everyone with the other.
Even though he knew that he was warning himself, Gong Yueyue turned a deaf ear to it. Anyway, it was only a few days before he left the Hou Mansion on August 20th. He just didn't know the etiquette and lost his sense of proportion. How much could it affect others!
When walking back, the seventh sister-in-law Yuan Jiang was no longer afraid of Zhai Yuan's mother, and actually wanted to go with Gong Yueyue. She hesitated several times, but in the end, she was about to break up at the crossroads. Yuan Jiang also
He didn't say a word, but his face turned red with anxiety.
Gong Yueyue really couldn't stand it, so she said: "Sister Seventh, what's the matter with you? It's okay to say it!"
Yuanjiang glanced at Zhai Yuan's mother who was following her not far away. She pulled Gong Yueyue and walked forward a few steps quickly. She said calmly: "Bight sister, do you still have the laxative that can cause diarrhea? Seventh sister, I am
...I want some." Before Yuanjiang could finish speaking, her face turned redder and her head drooped.
"Sister Qi, what are you doing, don't be Sister Qi..." Gong Yueyue looked at Yuan Jiang in surprise, thinking she heard wrongly.
"Hush - Bamei, whisper!" Yuanjiang quickly pulled Gong Yueyue forward a few steps, came to a small bamboo forest beside the Yong Road, and said in surprise: "Bamei, I heard that time, Bamei
I just took laxatives and the diarrhea didn't stop, so I escaped..."
It means that her eighth sister-in-law avoided the election of the Crown Princess by using diarrhea.
Gong Yueyue didn't wait for Yuan Jiang to finish her words and hurriedly raised her hand to interrupt her: "Seventh sister, don't listen to other people's nonsense. Where can eighth sister find any laxative that can stop diarrhea! However, seventh sister, what do you want to do if you want laxatives?"
?”
Yuan Jiang hurriedly waved her hands, "Bamei, it's not what you think. I want laxatives, but I want to... take them by myself. I don't want to go to Da Sinong Mansion tomorrow, and I don't want to offend Fifth Sister, so I just thought about what if I have diarrhea.
If you're sick, there's no need to go..." Yuan Jiang spoke softer and quieter, and in the end it became a weak murmur.
Yuanjiang suddenly raised her head again and said eagerly: "Bamei, when I came here, Mrs. Chen told me to discuss it with Bamei when I have something to do. She said that Bamei is as wise as she is foolish, and is not as stupid as everyone sees...
The concubine said that the eighth sister has many ideas and is very thoughtful. It would not be wrong to seek advice from the eighth sister. Eight sisters, you see, the seventh sister also has diarrhea and cannot go to Da Sinong Mansion. Will she not offend Wu?
Sister?"
"Even if you don't come as a guest because you feel unwell, Fifth Sister will definitely not blame you! Why does Seventh Sister have to take laxatives?" Gong Yueyue still tried her best to dissuade her, and looked at Yuanjiang strangely,
His eyes were filled with questions.
The cowardly Yuan Jiang took laxatives and pretended to be ill in order not to be a guest at Da Sinong Mansion. Obviously, it was not as simple as she said.
The reason for taking laxatives simply because he was afraid of offending Wen Jiang was too far-fetched!
Gong Yueyue's eyes became even more confused: "Seventh Sister, is there someone in Fifth Sister's place whom Seventh Sister doesn't want to see? Or maybe Seventh Sister went to Da Sinong Mansion before and something unpleasant happened?"
If it was one of the two, Gong Yueyue felt that Yuan Jiang's move might make sense.
Yuanjiang obviously had no intention of opening her heart, and was busy hesitating: "...No... nothing bad happened, and there was no one that the seventh sister didn't want to see, so the eighth sister shouldn't worry too much."
, In fact, the fifth sister treats us sisters very well. When I went to Da Sinong Mansion as a guest before, the fifth sister was also warm and welcoming, and her hospitality was attentive, without any sign of neglect."
"The fifth sister is such a person. They are all sisters. How could the fifth sister neglect everyone?" Even though Gong Yueyue said this, there was still doubt in her eyes.
"Oh, by the way, the eighth sister doesn't know something. The fifth sister's husband treats the fifth sister very well. I heard that all of us sisters are here to visit, and he even took the time to come back from the third department to pay tribute to the fourth wife and us sisters.
." Yuan Jiang happily mentioned Wen Jiang and his wife again, but her eyes inadvertently revealed a hint of dodge.
As if she was afraid that Zhai Yuan's mother would be near and hear her, Yuanjiang looked back, then hurriedly said goodbye to Gong Yueyue, and left with a heavy heart.
For a long time, Gong Yueyue stopped and stared at Yuan Jiang's back, thoughtfully.
Xinhui walked up and reminded in a low voice: "Eighth sister-in-law, it's getting late, we should go back."
"Well, let's go." Gong Yueyue withdrew her gaze and walked back to Zhanyun Garden with heavy steps.
Faced with Yuan Jiang's helpless request for help, Gong Yueyue wanted to help. But when she thought of how powerful Na Croton was, she gave up the idea. She always felt that something unpleasant had happened to Yuan Jiang when she was a guest at Da Sinong Mansion before. But Yuanjiang didn't say anything, and she couldn't force him. Besides, she also hoped that things were not as bad as she thought. (To be continued)
