In this room, before Mr. Wang finished speaking, he heard the butler outside hurriedly reporting: "Master, Master, someone from the palace is here."
Mr. Wang was startled and immediately asked: "Prince's palace? Which palace?"
The butler's face was full of excitement, "It's the Ninth Prince's Mansion. The steward of the Ninth Prince's Mansion is here. He is in the front hall. He said that he was here to give gifts to the master and his wife on the order of his prince."
"Gift, what gift?" Mrs. Wang was also confused.
"Congratulations to the young master on his big wedding tomorrow!" The butler looked excited. Perhaps he didn't expect that even the Ninth Prince would come to send congratulatory gifts to their family for the young master's wedding. This is really a huge honor.
"The other party said that his prince had something to do tomorrow and was afraid of forgetting, so he sent the congratulatory gift to the master and his wife in advance. He also said that the two families will be one family from now on. After the second young lady gets married, I would like to ask the master and his wife to take care of her."
"Sir, what does Ninth Prince mean?"
Mr. Wang and Mrs. Wang couldn't help but look at each other with confused expressions. Then they heard Mr. Wang say: "Let's go to the front hall and have a look."
On the other side, several hours had passed since the maid returned from delivering a letter. Seeing that it was almost getting dark, there had been no movement from the Wang family, let alone the break-up of the engagement. Qingrao and the others were very anxious and could not help but call the maid Xiang slowly.
He came up to me and said, "Are you sure that letter has been delivered to Mr. Wang?"
Xiangman nodded firmly and said: "After I sent the letter over, I watched the concierge take the letter and go in to find Mr. Wang." Ever since the incident at the Qionghua Banquet, the young lady had developed a suspicion towards her. Although in the end,
He still begged for her favor from the madam, but after all, he was not as friendly to her as before, and he usually took other maids with him when he went out.
Xiangman felt aggrieved, but she didn't dare to show it. She was extremely cautious in doing things on weekdays, for fear of doing something wrong and making the other person unhappy. At that time, it would be really difficult to stay by the other person's side.
This time, it was rare that the young lady could think of her again and leave such an important matter to her. She didn't dare to make any mistakes. Therefore, after sending the letter, she deliberately waited at the door of Wang's house for a long time.
Came back.
"Then why hasn't the Wang family responded yet?" Qingrao frowned and couldn't stop pacing back and forth in the room.
Xiangman didn't know what to do for a while, so he could only cautiously persuade her: "Miss, don't worry, wait a moment, Donghui went to inquire about the news, and I think she will be back soon."
Qingrao looked impatient and said with a bit of temper: "Wait, wait, it will be dark today." Tomorrow is the wedding day. If the Wang family doesn't send someone today, she will definitely have to get into the sedan chair tomorrow.
What hope will there be then?
Xiangman was choked by the other party, and immediately stopped talking. He didn't dare to say another word, for fear that if he said something wrong, he would annoy the other party again.
At this time, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps outside. Xiangman was delighted, thinking that the maid sent out to inquire about the news had returned, and hurriedly ran to the door to see what was going on.
Who would have thought that it turned out to be another second-class maid in the courtyard. She saw that the other party was holding a sandalwood box in her hand. She walked in with small steps and said: "Miss, someone from the palace is here. They say they are under the order of the eldest lady."
, I’m here to give the second lady some makeup.”
As soon as she heard the word "add makeup," Qingrao's face suddenly became even more ugly.
