The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 563 A word

He felt that he fell in love at first sight from the moment he met Miss Meng, but Miss Meng did not fall in love with him at first sight.

Then, as my second sister said, is it possible that Miss Meng will fall in love with him over time?
But whether it is possible or not, it is always a possibility.

As long as there is possibility, there is hope, and he still has a chance.

In addition, my father has already decided to join the Eastern Palace camp, so the chance is even greater!
While Dong Kuan was distracted and had endless associations, Zeng Chongqi was rushing to the Meng Mansion in a panic.

Due to official duties, he was on errands outside all day. By the time he heard that Meng Shisanqing was going to Beishan, walking up and being carried down, the sun was already setting.

So he rode his horse all the way back to the city and headed straight for the Meng Mansion.

Xiang Lin rode his horse beside him and said, "Don't worry, my dear cousin, she will be fine."

"Yeah." Zeng Chongqi responded, agreeing with Xiang Lin's words, but the horse he was riding didn't slow down at all, instead it rode even faster.

Xiang Lin had no choice but to follow the shout of "go", speed up his horse and catch up.

When Meng Shisan heard that Zeng Chongqi had entered the mansion, dinner had already ended and Yu Mingxiaotang, the Zeng sisters, and Dong Linglong were sipping tea and chatting.

The Zeng sisters were very happy about Zeng Chongqi's arrival, and their faces were as smiling as two flowers.

Dong Linglong looked at the unconcealed joy on the Zeng sisters' faces, and unconsciously glanced at Meng Shisan, who also smiled when he heard that Zeng Chongqi was coming.

Suddenly, she thought of her eldest brother.

The second sister once said that the eldest brother treated Yaoyao differently. Later, according to her observation, it was indeed as the second sister said. Now it seems that Yaoyao's cousin also treats Yaoyao differently. And judging by the reactions of the Zeng sisters, he also knows this.

She thought about it again and again, and felt that as a younger sister, she should help her brother.

"Yaoyao!" Zeng Zhongqi waited for his servant to finish reporting, then he immediately walked into Mingxiao Hall, glanced at everyone in the hall, and then fixed his eyes on Meng Shisan. He strode forward and asked, "Are you okay?"

Meng Shisan stood up and bowed to Zeng Chongqi, smiling and saying, "It's okay, cousin, don't worry."

Zeng Chongqi was relieved to see this: "It's good that you are fine. I just came back from Tongzhou, and I heard that you went to Qingbei Mountain and fell ill when you returned home. Yaoyao, you are weak and have been sick since childhood. You have only gotten better in the past few months. Don't be careless!"

"I understand, cousin." Meng Shisan gestured to Zeng Chongqi to sit down.

Zeng Chongqi did not sit down immediately, but bowed to Dong Linglong: "Miss Dong."

Dong Linglong didn't expect Zeng Chongqi still had eyes for her, so she quickly responded, "Master Zeng."

"Okay, okay, Yaya, this is our eldest brother. You are on good terms with us, so you don't have to be so polite to our eldest brother." Zeng Chongrong said enthusiastically, trying to pull Dong Linglong to their side.

Zeng Chongjin also nodded and said, "Yes, big brother, Mumu, Yaoyao and I are all good friends with Yaya. If you see Yaya being bullied outside, big brother must not stand by and watch."

"Okay." The two younger sisters asked, and Zeng Chongqi had no choice but to respond.

This made Dong Linglong feel embarrassed. She thought to herself that when she had the chance, she would introduce her second sister and eldest brother to the Zeng sisters, and they should also agree to take care of each other when they were away.

Meng Shisan waited for Zeng Chongqi to sit down and said, "Cousin, you just came back from your work in Tongzhou. Can you have dinner now?"

"I have used it." Zeng Chongqi replied.

Xiang Lin glanced at his son and muttered, "He just ate two steamed buns and sesame cakes on horseback and didn't even drink water."

Zeng Zhongqi glared at Lin fiercely: "Shut up!"

Just shut up, you've already said it. Xiang Lin lowered his head and shut up.

Zeng Chongjin immediately asked, "Brother, why don't you pay attention to what you eat?"

"This has been going on for a long time." Zeng Chongrong echoed, "Brother, this is not good! If mother knew about this, she would be so distressed that she would not be able to sleep again!"

Dong Linglong thought of Dong Kuan, and felt that the situation of not paying attention to eating and eating carelessly would not happen to her elder brother, so she felt relieved and continued to listen quietly.

Meng Shisan didn't say much, and turned around and told Baozhu: "Go and tell Jinyin to set up another table of food."

I told Jin Yin that I didn't want to disturb the main kitchen and just cook a few home-cooked meals in the small kitchen.

Baozhu understood: "Yes!"

Meng Shisan glanced at Xiang Lin again: "Do more."

"Hmm!" Baozhu came to her senses and glanced at Xiang Lin.

Xiang Lin felt a little embarrassed by the two looks from front and back.

Zeng Zhongqi, who had always been very self-disciplined, felt even more embarrassed: "Yaoyao, actually, that's not necessary. I'm full. You don't need to listen to Xiang Lin's nonsense."

It’s nonsense. Meng Shisan’s orders have been given and will not be changed.

Jin Yin was also very skillful, and with the help of Chai Yu, a simple dinner was soon placed on Ming Xiaotang's table.

At this time, in order to allow Zeng Chongqi and Xiang Lin to eat more easily, Meng Shisan and others had already moved to the courtyard.

The four of them were enjoying the spring by personally tending the red stove and boiling tea, drinking tea while appreciating the moon and chatting about everything under the sun.

Zeng Chongqi didn't want to eavesdrop, but he couldn't help but prick up his ears. Occasionally, he couldn't hear clearly, and he knew that they were talking in private and it was not convenient for him to listen.

He then concentrated on his meal.

As I used it, I couldn't help but prick up my ears again.

Xiang Lin ate quietly throughout the whole meal and enjoyed it very much. In his heart, he kept praising Jin Yin's cooking skills, which were not inferior to those of the big restaurants in the market!
Sitting around the stone table and on the stone benches, the four of them were talking and laughing.

"...Yaoyao, are you still investigating the collapse of the lamp mountain in Bixu Manor?" Dong Linglong suddenly remembered this. There was no one present who couldn't listen, so she asked without hesitation.

For a moment, all the Zeng sisters looked at Meng Shisan.

Apparently they don't know this yet.

"My sister and I also heard about the sudden collapse of the lamp mountain, but we don't know why." Zeng Chongrong had heard about it before, but he didn't know the details, so he asked, "Yaoyao, are you really investigating?"

Zeng Chongjin frowned slightly, "This is not a small matter. It involves a lot of people. Even though Mumu and I don't know the inside story, many people died in the collapse. Although they were civilians, they are also human lives and cannot be ignored. Yaoyao, why would you want to investigate such a troublesome and life-threatening matter?"

As an older sister, she thinks more deeply than her younger sister.

After Dong Linglong asked, she was just waiting for Meng Shisan to answer her. Unexpectedly, once she asked, the Zeng sisters could actually say something: "You guys are paying attention to it too?"

"No!" Zeng Chongrong denied it crisply, "I just happened to hear my eldest brother mention it."

As she spoke, she stole a glance into the hall.

It's like being a thief.
