Wan Qing's second rejoicing only lasted for more than an hour before she was called out of the yard by Shi Gun.
After leaving the courtyard, Wan Qing felt her eyes darken when she saw her eldest son.
"Tell me, don't hide a word." Gu Yan signaled Shi Gun and others to stay away, looked at Wan Qing and ordered.
"No...no more!" Wan Qing trembled her lips and gritted her teeth to hold on.
"If you don't want to say it here, I will take you to Academy Street now. At what point do you think Miss Li will say it for you before I slap you with a whip?" Gu Yan asked calmly.
"The first whip." Wan Qing cried sadly.
Gu Yan snorted, "Say!"
"Yes." Wan Qing closed her eyes and gritted her teeth, finishing Li Xiaonan's nonsense in one breath.
Gu Yan pursed her lips tightly as she listened, and it took a while before she spoke, "Go back! Remember, don't tell anyone!"
"Yes." Wan Qing turned around, picked up her skirt and ran away.
She knew she couldn't say it, but he forced her to say it!
Gu Yan took in a slow breath, exhaled it again, raised his hand to his face, and rubbed it hard.
He has to choose a few people to watch Shi.
………………………………
Li Xiaonan returned to Cailian Lane early, chatting with Sister Mei from time to time.
She had to go out and hide.
She has already decided where to go.
She will go back to Lijiaji with the eldest sister tomorrow. She just said she misses Cuiye. The eldest sister is easy to talk to, just one sentence.
But she had to arrange two things: first, how to hide it from A Wu and Yu Ting, and second, how to let Sister Mei keep the secret for her and not tell anyone where she was going.
Ah Wu and Wan Qing were fine, but she felt that Sister Mei couldn't hold on to Yu Ting, and Yu Ting was too good at tricking Sister Mei.
It’s best to hide it even from Sister Mei!
Alas, this is impossible. She left with the eldest sister. The second sister must know, and the brother also needs to know. She can coax Sister Mei, but she cannot coax the second sister.
Li Xiaonan was worried all night. She couldn't figure out how to ensure that Sister Mei would not leak the secret, but she came up with another way.
When she returned to Lijiaji, she said she would go to the county town to say hello to the Hong family. When she arrived at the Hong family, she would say hello, and then go to Linhai Town to buy some things. She asked the Hong family to arrange a car to take her to Linhai Town to find her second uncle.
She walked around Linhai Town and asked Uncle Ertang to find a car to take her back to Pingjiang City. When she arrived in Pingjiang City, she didn't go home and went to Uncle Datang's house to find Ai Ye. After doing this and procrastinating again, three or four days passed.
.
This is called the golden cicada escaping its shell!
The next day, as soon as the first trace of fish belly white appeared on the horizon, Shi Gun knocked on the door of Li's courtyard and conveyed an invitation from the eldest son of his family: Miss Li was invited to come over because there was something important.
Li Xiaonan leaned out half of her body and saw Shi Gun's horses and followers at the entrance of the alley. She raised her fingers at Shi Gun and asked in a low voice: "Wan Qing said you can trust me. You don't have to say anything. If I say
That’s right, just blink your eyes twice. Let me ask you: Has something happened? I’d better not go?”
"No!" Shi Gun's eyes widened and he answered quickly, "Don't worry, girl, it's really something important."
Li Xiaonan let out an ooh, looked at Shi Gun, and asked again, "Don't cheat me. Is everything okay?"
"It's okay, don't worry, girl." Shi Gun nodded quickly.
"Then let me tell the eldest sister." Li Xiaonan shrank back.
"Breakfast has been prepared over at Bieye." Shi Gun hurriedly added with a smile.
Li Xiaonan followed Shi Gun and others and dismounted in the second gate of Bieye. When she saw Wan Qing standing in the second gate with her hands down, she was relieved.
Wan Qing's expression was not very good. Before Li Xiaonan came closer, she turned around and walked forward in a polite manner.
"Shi Gun said that the prince is here, so your prince can't take care of other things? Is everything okay yesterday? How is the lady? Is she okay?" Li Xiaonan caught up with Wan Qing,
Asked in a lowered voice.
Wan Qing looked back at Li Xiaonan but said nothing.
"Why are you like this? The monthly payment has been deducted again? Did you make a mistake when the prince arrived? What mistake did you make?" Li Xiaonan took two steps and stood side by side with Wan Qing, looking at Wan Qing's expression carefully.
"Here we are, the prince has asked Miss Li to have dinner here." Wan Qing stood at the door of a warm pavilion and leaned over to let Li Xiaonan.
Li Xiaonan stretched her head and looked inside. Seeing that there was no one in the Nuan Pavilion, she pushed Wan Qing into the Nuan Pavilion, "You come in too, what's wrong with you?"
"What else can happen! Everything that needs to be known is known! The Crown Prince knows it, and the Crown Prince knows it too!" Wan Qing looked desperate.
"You said it all? You didn't hide a word?"
"When I was in front of the Crown Prince, I hid those last few nonsense words of yours, but when the Crown Prince came to question me, I did it!" Wan Qing covered her face and lowered her head.
"As long as you know, you will know. What can you do? I don't want to receive monthly money from him." Li Xiaonan stayed for a moment, slapped the table, and sat down to eat.
Wan Qing looked at Li Xiaonan who was eating with her chopsticks. She was startled and exhaled. Yes, I've said it, I know it, I already know it. No matter what, it's already like this, let's just let it be.
"Don't eat too much." Wan Qing put aside the nonsense, immediately raised her eyes and looked forward, and hurriedly stepped forward to tell Li Xiaonan, "Inviting you here so early, Shi Gun said it was to take you to see the prince.
There are still errands to run.
"The Crown Prince is a king, but he is different from our Crown Prince. Just eat half full. People feel better when they are hungry.
"I'm telling you, when you meet the prince, you can't talk nonsense under any circumstances. You'd better not talk! Just stand with your head bowed, nodding and shaking your head."
Li Xiaonan bit into her crab meat dumplings and kept nodding her head.
She really wasn't ready to talk anymore, she didn't say a word!
After half-full breakfast, Li Xiaonan rinsed her mouth and cleansed her face again. Wan Qing combed her hair again, looked up and down three or four times, smelled again, and found that everything was fine from head to toe.
Follow Li Xiaonan out, follow the boy who has been waiting outside, and go into the depths of Bieye.
In a quiet courtyard in the middle of the villa, Li Xiaonan waited for more than a quarter of an hour in the flower hall inside the second gate, next to Wan Qing.
The sound of footsteps came from outside the flower hall.
Li Xiaonan didn't dare to move, she raised her head slightly and looked sideways outside the flower hall door.
A handsome young man in his early twenties, wearing a silver-white gown, entered the flower hall, followed by two young men on the left and right.
Wan Qing pushed Li Xiaonan, and Li Xiaonan quickly knelt down with Wan Qing.
Wan Qing explained that when she saw the prince, Li Xiaonan immediately knelt down and kowtowed as soon as she pushed him.
The prince stopped and looked at Li Xiaonan, who was kneeling down and kowtowing in an ugly and disorganized manner. He glanced at Gu Yan and said with a smile: "Get up."
Wan Qing grabbed Li Xiaonan, and Li Xiaonan hurriedly got up.
The prince tilted his head slightly and looked at Li Xiaonan carefully.
Li Xiaonan suppressed her curiosity and excitement, looked directly at the prince and was about to take a closer look, but was kicked in the heel by Wan Qing from behind, and she quickly shrank her shoulders and lowered her eyes.
Wan Qing has explained that you cannot raise your head in front of your Majesty unless you are told to do so. That is to say, only he can look at you, and you are not allowed to look at him.
"You should find a nanny for her to teach you." The prince laughed as he looked at Li Xiaonan, who was shaken by Wan Qing's kick.
