The carriage was speeding through the quiet night.
Su Jie's nervous mood eased a little, and then she realized something was wrong: "Madam, you didn't use perfume?"
After a moment of silence, a voice came out from under the fence that made her soul shake: "Sujie, it's me."
Su Jie was stunned for a moment and quickly lifted up the gauze on the power fence.
Mingwei simply took off the gauze covering his face.
The lights inside the car were dim, but it did not prevent Sujie from recognizing the differences between mother and daughter.
Su Jie opened her mouth and was about to cry.
Fortunately, she still had some sense and knew how to suppress her voice: "Miss! Why do you..."
What's going on? When was the change made? It was definitely not what Madam wanted. That young lady...
Mingwei said calmly: "The matter is now over. Don't worry about the reason. Please help me see if there are any loopholes."
Su Jie shook his head: "No, if you act like this, my wife will die of panic."
"She won't wake up for at least an hour." Mingwei said, "After an hour, I have already entered Xinyuan. Or do you want to call this matter out?"
The person driving the car outside was the second master's confidant.
If the shouting breaks out, the second master will know that the young lady is involved.
No, we can't let the second master know! Otherwise, who knows if the second master will have evil thoughts again? The young lady's appearance is very similar to that of the madam, and she is very young...
"Hurry up, we don't have much time." Mingwei urged.
Sujie had no choice but to help Mingwei dress up. She combed her hair into a new bun, trimmed her face a little, applied lipstick and powdered it.
After cleaning up and covering her face again, Sujie took a look under the light. It was so late at night that she couldn't tell the difference between mother and daughter just by looking at their facial features.
Helping Mingwei put on the power fence, Su Jie whispered: "Miss, since you know what the madam is going to do, you must not get in front of Mr. Yang until the time comes. If something happens to you, the madam will definitely not want to live.
Already."
"Well, don't worry."
How could Su Jie be so relieved? But now, there was no way out, so he could only pretend to be calm and watch the carriage drive towards its destination.
…
The second master returned to the small courtyard.
When he opened the door, he saw the man sitting at the desk next to the window, facing the open window. He was holding a book in his hand, but his eyes were looking at the dark night.
"Have you been sent there?" He didn't even look back.
"Yes." The second master said, "I promise her that I will let her go to the capital after we are done."
He tapped his pale knuckles on the armrest and said, "At that time, arrange for someone to follow the mother and daughter, just in case."
"Don't worry, nothing will happen." The second master said.
"It's best not to take this step." He turned back and threw the book in his hand on the table, half worried and half sighing, "I'm still soft-hearted, she knows too many secrets of ours, I shouldn't have let her go.
."
"Who wants to marry Xiao Qi?" The second master sat down opposite him, "She must get Xiao Qi married."
The man remained silent, as if by default.
The second master noticed the book he just read, picked it up and flipped through it a few times: "How to summon souls? Why are you reading this? Are you worried that Xiao Qi's soul is unstable?"
The person on the other side said: "Gods don't care about earthly affairs, and Xuannv's idea of collecting souls always seems weird."
"Other than this, there is no better explanation. After she woke up, she still stayed with her mother every day. She didn't do anything extraordinary. She just knew some mystical arts. Didn't the Fourth come to ask you? Those techniques you mentioned
Useful, but not surprising.”
"I hope I'm overthinking it." He asked again, "Is she cured?"
"Okay." The second master said, "Just stop being surprised. I've been drawing some talismans these past two days, and I want to provide them to Empress Xuannv."
"Drawing talismans?" He frowned and murmured, "She even knows how to draw talisman?"
…
The carriage drove all the way into Xinyuan.
Su Jie served Mingwei and got out of the car, and someone led them through the corridors and finally arrived at a wide courtyard.
There are carved railings and painted buildings, paved with brocade and embroidery, engraved with gold and different colors, piled with beads and jade.
Thick tallow candles illuminated the courtyard brightly.
Mingwei raised his eyes and saw no young master. Except for the maids, there were only beautiful women wearing brocade and gauze, either showing off their graceful figures and practicing dancing, or playing the musical instruments in their hands and singing softly.
Her arrival just gave them an indifferent look and continued to do their own thing.
It’s not a big deal to wear a power fence. There are all kinds of costumes among them. Isn’t it all to please that person?
Su Jie stepped aside and stood with the maids. The maid who led them over pointed at a piano and said to Ming Wei: "Practice your skills first, and don't make mistakes in front of the young master later."
Seeing this situation, Su Jie broke into a cold sweat.
The young lady has never learned the piano, and now she has revealed her secret. It will not be easy to explain to the second master.
Mingwei has already sat down.
Under Sujie's nervous gaze, she reached out and plucked a few notes, then slowly connected them to a tune.
Hey, the lady can actually do it?
Of course Mingwei can. Master is the best at playing the piano. She can't be said to be proficient, but it's okay to put on a facade.
Not long after, the steward came over, gathered all the women together, and loudly announced the arrangements for tonight.
This Young Master Yang has a very special game.
When others drink and have fun, they sing and dance together, and play a piece of music at the same time.
It's good for him, he just listens to music, dances and watches dance and music.
What's the meaning?
It just randomly selects people, the singer and the dancer come on stage at the same time, and you can choose whatever music and dance you want.
Because I haven’t practiced before, there are many more variables.
If you have good skills, you can excel, and if you make mistakes, you can still have fun.
Mingwei mixed in with the singing and dancing girls and entered the main room.
The embroidered curtains were layered one after another. After walking for a long time, my eyes suddenly became clear.
In the spacious hall, the seats are divided into two rows.
There weren't many people there, and judging by their clothes, they were all wealthy young men.
One by one, they behaved wildly, holding the beautiful actress in their arms.
"Sir, everyone is here."
Covered by the power fence, Mingwei raised his eyes and looked directly.
But at the top of the table, there was a young man leaning half-leaning, holding his head with one hand, lazily drinking a glass of wine.
Hearing the sound, he looked up.
Mingwei heard it clearly, and a low exclamation sounded in his ears.
This Mr. Yang is indeed so handsome that it makes people look at him. Especially the cinnabar mole on his eyebrows makes him look fairy-like and glamorous.
It's not easy for her to remember her appearance, but her contradictory temperament makes it difficult to recognize her.
Mr. Yang quickly looked away and said in a lazy tone: "Guard Lei, just now those things you disliked for being vulgar and vulgar are just a passing thing, right? Let's pick one first?"
After hearing this, Mingwei noticed that there was a young man sitting in the seat nearest to him.
He was wearing regular clothes, with a tense expression and an upright posture, which was in sharp contrast to the swinger in the seat.
This person seems to be...
By the way, Lei Hong, the bodyguard around Jiang Wenfeng.
Why is he here? He has nothing to do with Mr. Yang, right?
The Lei guard wanted to stand up, but Young Master Yang spoke again: "It's not like we're in court, why are you being so formal? Just sit down and answer."
Lei Hong had no choice but to sit down and said, "Yes." After a pause, he replied, "I don't like this, so I would like to ask you to be more noble."
