The weak princess is super fierce

As soon as these words were said, the siblings suddenly thought of themselves and couldn't help but become quiet.

The embarrassment between the siblings was not over until Xi Yanwen had eaten enough, cleared the table, came back from eating red dates, made a pot of fragrant tea, and waited quietly with Youzhi.

"A Jing, you and Fourth Young Master Meng must get along well." Xi Yanchuan said this sincerely for Xi Kuangjing's sake.

Xi Kuangjing understood what she meant: "I will."

"Sister, it's not that I want you to cling to me, it's just that..."

"Sister, I understand."

Xi Yanwen looked at Xi Kuangjing like this, and her eyes became moist again. She quickly lowered her head, picked up the soup bowl and drank in a muffled voice.

After she finished drinking and put down the soup bowl, Xi Kuangjing took the soup bowl silently, added another bowl of soup for her, and then pushed a meat dish to her table: "This beef dish with coriander, I remember my sister's favorite." I like to eat, so I asked Youzhi to tell the chef of the inn that I would like to make this dish. My sister will try it to see if it is different from the one made in the house. "

Xi Yanwen did not raise her head, only nodded, and a line of tears fell into the bowl in her hand: "A Jing, sister is useless. I may not be able to help you in the future. Instead... I want you to help sister." , become my sister’s confidence in her husband’s family, don’t be angry with me, don’t bother me, okay?”

"Sister... I will no longer think about His Highness the Crown Prince, and will look after him well and marry him well."

"Okay." Although Xi Yanwen has not become smarter as Xi Kuangjing originally suspected, she has changed. At least now the eldest sister can see her future clearly and no longer has unrealizable fantasies.

It was also a surprise.

At the same time, Shi Lanxi, the second lady of the Shi family, was not asleep yet.

She sat under the lamp and listened to the maid Yingge who had just returned and reported: "I don't know where Shopkeeper Liu has gone. I searched many places but couldn't find him. I thought of leaving a code and waiting for him to see him. , I went to the old place to look for the slave by myself, but I didn’t expect that the secret code was left in several places. The slave waited until the dead of night, but couldn’t wait for him.”

"He's not at home?" Shi Lanxi felt that something was wrong.

"Miss, you have told me not to go directly to Lantern Alley to find Shopkeeper Liu, so I hired a woman to help me go to his house and knock on the door. After knocking for a long time, no one answered the door. Later, I heard from the neighbor next door. Said, he is not at home at all, and has not been home for two days!" Ying Ge replied.

When the other maid, Huamei, heard this, she couldn't help blurting out: "Is something wrong?"

Shi Lanxi thought the same thing: "What about Kunzheng Pavilion? Do the guys there know where he is going?"

Of course Yingge also asked: "I don't know."

"Have you exposed your whereabouts?" Shi Lanxi always paid attention to the Meng Mansion. Seeing that there was no bad news coming out of the Meng Mansion in the past two or three days, her heart started to jitter, and she always felt that something was wrong.

It would definitely not be a good thing if her maid was exposed in Kunzheng Pavilion at this time.

Fortunately, Ying Ge was also smart: "No! I thought about what you said, Miss Liu, that I can't reveal my identity as a maid of the Shifu near Shopkeeper Liu's house, so now it's not good to expose my identity in Kunzheng Pavilion. Therefore, when I went to ask the clerk of Kunzheng Pavilion, I also sent a woman to ask, but I did not show up at Kunzheng Pavilion."

"That's good." Shi Lanxi breathed a sigh of relief. Halfway through, he thought of another question, "Are the women who went to Shopkeeper Liu's house and those who went to Kunzheng Pavilion the same?"

"Don't worry, miss! I hired a different woman!" Ying Ge couldn't hide his pride.

Thrush also gave her a thumbs up: "How smart!"

Shi Lanxi also smiled broadly: "There is a box on the mirror table. There is a freshly beaten gold hairpin in it. Huamei, go get it and give it to Yingge." "No." Huamei followed the words and turned around to get it on the mirror table in the inner room, thinking in her heart So envious.

"Thank you, miss!" Ying Ge knelt down to thank.

"Get up. If you do things well in the future, there will be better rewards." Shi Lanxi didn't miss the envy in Thrush's eyes, "The same goes for Thrush."

Huamei, who had just taken out the golden hairpin and handed it to Ying Ge, immediately knelt down and said, "I would like to thank you in advance, Miss!"

"It's late tonight. Huamei is on duty. Yingge goes back to rest and have a good sleep. Early tomorrow morning, we will continue to go out to find the whereabouts of Shopkeeper Liu." After making arrangements, Shi Lanxi repeated the instructions, "Remember, no matter it is Life or death, you must find him. No matter when or where you are, you must not reveal your identity as the maid beside me. Otherwise, you should know what will happen."

Ying Geben was smiling happily while holding the gold hairpin. Suddenly, when she heard Shi Lanxi's words, her face suddenly turned pale. She quickly put away the gold hairpin. After she had just stood up, she knelt down again, leaned over and said, "Don't worry, miss. If unfortunately I am caught by someone, or my identity is exposed inadvertently, I will die outside and will never come back to drag the young lady down!"

Her family are all servants of the Shifu. If something happens to her and she dies outside, she will not be a drag on the young lady, and the young lady can still treat her family well.

On the contrary, not only her, but also her father-in-law and two brothers had to suffer from her and died quietly.

She understood this very well and kept it in her heart all the time.

"Very good, let's go down." Shi Lanxi was very satisfied.

Huamei was also beaming with joy, lowering her head to cover up the fear in her eyes. As she was on duty that night, she felt no sleep at all and sat at the table outside all night long.

"Boom—boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The sound of the clock is slow and fast, and it is already the fifth watch.

It was just after dinner that the kite returned to the Meng Mansion.

She quietly entered the backyard from the back door of the Meng Mansion, and with a few taps, she returned to Taichen Courtyard as lightly as a swallow.

I thought everyone would be sound asleep when she came back, but I didn't expect that as soon as she landed in front of Mingxiao Hall, the light came on in the north room of the west wing.

She looked back and saw Shang Chun opening the door, stepping out with a candle and calling softly: "Kite?"

Having been a Cui family member for many years, she was used to walking at night and instinctively avoiding all bright places. Therefore, when she returned to the Meng Mansion, she also walked in dark places with no light.

The same goes back to Taichenyuan.

Everything was sound. She stood in the darkness in front of the hall. The red lanterns that were always bright at night in the corridor could not illuminate her figure. Her footsteps fell silent. Shang Chun called her now, and there was obviously a temptation in his voice. I'm not sure she's back, but why did she come out so coincidentally?

Kite was very confused, but she didn't respond. She walked out of the backlit darkness and walked towards Chun Shang with a few strides. She walked to the front of Shang Chun and said, "Why isn't Aunt Shang Chun asleep?"

"I didn't sleep on purpose because I was waiting for you to come back." I was surprised and happy when I saw the kite in the spring.

The kite was close, and she could clearly see the emotions in Shangchun's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "How does Aunt Shangchun know that I'm coming back at this hour?"
