The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 611: Far Less Than

"He failed, so he was desperate and caused such a mess during the Mid-Autumn Festival." The District Secretary was embarrassed. "As for Mr. Cui Qi, we also sent people to secretly test him, and he didn't have any intention of approaching us at all."

"Not everyone thinks that the Eastern Palace is...stable." Chancellor Huo could probably understand why Cui Yu rejected the olive branch they threw out. After all, they represented the Chancellery, and the Chancellery was a subsidiary of the Eastern Palace.

In other words, if Cui Yu wanted to station his troops in the Eastern Palace, he had to carefully consider the intentions of the Qinghe Cui family.

It's not just Cui Yu's problem.

Knowing that what Secretary Huo said was true, Secretary Qu still sighed: "If Master Cui Qi can stand on the side of our prince, at least those people with ulterior motives can be more obedient."

Cui Yu's financial resources are not only huge in the whole country, but also definitely huge in the whole capital.

In addition, the part of Cui Yu's Yu Qinghe's original property was even larger than the scope of the capital.

The financial resources are already huge in the region. If Cui Yu can lend a helping hand to the Eastern Palace, then their Highness will no longer have to worry about financial resources.

Huo Zhanshi nodded slightly, then sighed slightly, and then returned to Meng Renping's question: "Before Meng Fucheng fell ill, he went out during his office hours, and went straight to Qingbei Mountain. I heard that he went to pursue the eldest daughter of the Meng family. Later... when he came back, he didn't come to report to me, but went straight to the East Palace. Later, you also know."

The District Secretary pondered and said, "Is there something fishy here?"

Huo Zhan did not answer, nor did he deny or nod his head.

Junior Secretary Qu tasted it and slowly discovered something unusual: "I will go now!"

He then walked in a hurry, without even having time to go back to his office to clean up. It was his servant who hurried back to clean up before he ran to catch up with him.

As soon as Guo Rong stepped out of the Meng Mansion, the Lu Mansion received the news before the carriage even drove out of the street where the Meng Mansion was located.

Miss Shi Lianchun of the Lu family then went out from the back door with her maid Guicao, got on the prepared carriage and headed straight for Baolai Tower.

Guo Rong was not as impatient as Shi Lianchun. When she slowly arrived at the agreed Baolai Building, Guicao was already standing in front of the door of Baolai Building, waiting for her.

Taozi got off the car first, and then helped Guo Rong get off. Guicao came up to greet them with a smile on her face: "Second Miss Guo, my lady is waiting for you in the Zhuyu Room upstairs."

"Let's go." Guo Rong nodded.

"Please come in, Miss Guo." Guicao led the way respectfully.

Going up to the second floor, they arrived at the door of Zhuyu's private room. Guicao pushed open the door, Guo Rong went in first, then Taozi, and Guicao closed the door herself last.

"Second Miss Guo is here!" Shi Lianchun stood up from the guest seat, walked around the seat in two or three steps, and greeted Guo Rong.

Guo Rong did not disappoint Shi Lianchun's fiery enthusiasm, and said as she walked into the guest seat, "It's done."

Just two words made Shi Lianchun's eyes sparkle: "It's done? Really done?"

Guo Rong sat down in the guest seat: "Miss Meng has already agreed to help pass on the message. As for whether Little Doctor He will show up at the Canghong Lake in Bixu Manor in three days, it is hard to say."

Shi Lianchun's pretty face instantly fell: "Then it didn't work."

"Half of it is done." Guo Rong corrected, "Didn't you say before that Doctor He was also interested in you? If that's the case, as long as we can get the word to Doctor He, will he not keep the appointment?"

As for Meng Shisan, she didn't tell the whole truth, and she felt a little guilty. But ever since Shi Lianchun came to her rescue when she was harassed by other noble ladies because of Lu Pingting, she has sincerely regarded Shi Lianchun as her lifelong lover.

In this case, how could she not help?

In this way, I would be sorry to the eldest lady of the Meng family.

It wasn't that she didn't want to tell the truth, but she couldn't hand the handkerchief over to others, as that would be bad for Shi Lianchun's reputation.

When Shi Lianchun heard Guo Rong's words, her face froze.

Although Guo Rong was only thirteen years old, three years younger than Shi Lianchun, she had grown up in the imperial city, so she might not know less than Shi Lianchun, who was three years older than her.

On the contrary, she actually knows more.

Among these, observing people's expressions and being able to bend and stretch are her two major strengths. For example, in the current situation, she has already noticed that something is wrong with Shi Lianchun.

Guo Rong tried to ask, "Are you lying to me? In fact, it has always been your wishful thinking, and you and Doctor He are not in love with each other?"

Shi Lianchun's face turned pale immediately: "I..."

"How could you lie to me?" Guo Rong was immediately furious. "For your sake, I went to the Meng Mansion to find Miss Meng. When Miss Meng asked me who I was and why I wanted to meet with Doctor He, I lied to Miss Meng for your reputation! I didn't expect that in the end, you would lie to me first!"

Shi Lianchun buried her head lower and lower due to Guo Rong's scolding, and she dared not raise her pretty face again.

Without looking at the people, just listening to their voices, it seems as if their ages have been reversed.

Guicao was standing by the side, not daring to breathe.

Taozi began to worry that if the eldest daughter of the Meng family knew that her daughter had lied, then they would meet again in the future.

"Tell me honestly, what you said before about having met Doctor He several times, is this true?" Guo Rong felt that she should ask this clearly before the meeting three days later.

"It's true that we've met a few times, but..." Shi Lianchun explained softly, not too shyly, "Every time we met, it was me who saw him, and he seemed not to have seen me."

Guo Rong was stunned: "Is this what you mean by how many times we've met?"

"Hmm." Shi Lianchun hummed softly, feeling very unconfident.

Guo Rong's face also began to look bad: "It's over..."

"You also know that although I am the cousin of the Lu family, my status is far from comparable to Rongrong. Although we are cousins, I am far inferior to her." Shi Lianchun's mother is the second aunt of the Lu family, the second aunt of Lu Pingting, the second daughter of Lu Daxueshi and Lu Old Lady, the second sister of Empress Lu and Lu Sen, and the second sister of Lu Luo. Her father is only the magistrate of Fangshan County, and his status is far inferior to Lu Pingting.

Guo Rong reminded implicitly: "Miss Ji's..."

"I am also far inferior to you." Shi Lianchun understood instantly, and golden beans fell out of his eye sockets.

Guo Rong sighed, "I originally thought that although your status is far from comparable, at least you have the advantage because you and Doctor He have already promised to spend your lives together. As long as you two meet and hear that Doctor He is determined to marry you, then no matter how much better Miss Ji's background is, you still have a chance of winning."

Now it seems that it is not too difficult to snatch He Yizheng back from Ji Ling.
