The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 644: Please Instruct

After Xiang Lie got Meng Shisan's decision, he went directly to the Jinyiwei Yamen.

In the yamen, Zeng Chongqi had already gone out to do his work, and deliberately left Xiang Lin in the yamen to wait for Xiang Lie's reply.

After the handover, Xiang Lin rushed to where Zeng Chongqi was working, while Xiang Lie returned to Zeng's mansion to continue guarding the courtyard and paying attention to all the happenings in the mansion.

Normally, he didn't need to follow his master out like Xiang Lin, nor did he need to run errands for his master. He was just a door god guarding the courtyard.

Normally, this kind of time would be mostly uneventful.

But today, two young ladies came to visit.

When Xiang Lie heard the servant's report, he jumped up in fright and rushed to the gate. He bumped into the Zeng sisters at the gate. He hurriedly saluted: "Fourth Miss, Fifth Miss."

"Let me ask you, big brother, besides going to the yamen to do his work today, do you have anything else to do?" Zeng Chongrong was the most impatient, so she asked without her sister having to speak.

Zeng Chongjin also wanted to ask about this matter. When her sister asked, she looked at Xiang Lie and waited for Xiang Lie's answer.

Xiang Lie was a little stunned by this sudden question: "My lord, apart from going to the yamen to do his work, he has nothing else to do..."

"Think about it carefully and answer after you've made up your mind." Zeng Chongrong and his sister came here after hearing the news. There was no way he would just let Xiang Lie give a random answer and then send him back.

After hearing what Zeng Chongrong said, Xiang Lie became even more confused.

Zeng Chongjin couldn't bear to see Xiang Lie being so stupid, so he reminded him, "Big brother and Xiang Lin went out early in the morning and went to the Jinyiwei Yamen, but you went out earlier than big brother, where did you go?"

With this clear indication, Xiang Lie immediately understood what the Fourth and Fifth Young Misses were asking. He hesitated for a while before replying, "Young Master wants to know whether Miss Meng will go fishing at the Saffron Lake in the Bixu Manor today..."

"So you went to Meng's house to ask early in the morning?" Zeng Chongrong asked.

Xiang Lie nodded: "Yes."

Zeng Chongjin asked, "What does Yaoyao say?"

Xiang Lie replied, "My cousin said she would go and will leave after lunch today."

"Oh." Zeng Chongrong turned his head and said to Zeng Chongjin, "Sister, we said before that we would not join in the fun today, but since it's Yaoyao... By the way, did eldest brother say that he would go today too?"

Halfway through talking to her sister, she thought of her eldest brother and quickly turned back to ask Xiang Lie.

Xiang Lie replied, "Go, the young master said that my cousin should go, so the young master went."

"I knew that big brother would be like this!" Zeng Chongrong looked at Zeng Chongjin again and said, "How about we go too?"

Zeng Chongjin did not answer immediately. Just as Zeng Chongrong said, she had no plan to go to Bixu Manor to join in the excitement of fishing in Canghong Lake.

"Sister?" Zeng Chongrong waited for a moment, but couldn't wait any longer, so he called again, holding Zeng Chongjin's hand with both hands and shaking it again and again.

Faced with her sister's coquettish behavior, and because her cousin Meng and her eldest brother were both going, Zeng Chongjin naturally wanted to agree to her sister's proposal right away. However, she still couldn't let go: "You forgot, something happened on the last Mid-Autumn Night, and after mother heard about it, she didn't allow us to go to Bixu Manor again." Their mother didn't let them go because something always happened at Bixu Manor.

The last time they went with cousin Meng, they fell into the water and Qiao Sang died. Fortunately, cousin Meng was rescued in time. Later, when they went again during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Lantern Mountain collapsed again. The people who died under the Lantern Mountain still have not received an explanation, and their souls may still be floating in the Lantern Mountain, unable to rest in peace.

In this situation, not to mention that her mother didn't allow her and her sister to go again, she felt a chill down her spine just thinking about it.

Zeng Chongrong also knew what his sister said, but his worried mother would not allow it. "But sister, Yaoyao is gone, and so is big brother! With big brother around, what's there to be afraid of?"

"That's right..." Zeng Chongjin thought that Zeng Chongqi would also go fishing, and instantly he gained some courage, "How about we go and ask mother for permission?"

"Of course, we can, but then, wouldn't mother know that big brother also went?" Zeng Chongrong also had some concerns, "Big brother once said that we are not allowed to mention the matter between big brother and Yaoyao to mother all the time."

Zeng Chongjin knew all this, of course, but since they were going together, this was unavoidable, so she put on a serious face and said, "Then let's not go."

She was so serious that Zeng Chongrong was stunned: "How can that be possible?"

"Why not? You're worried anyway, so just don't go." Zeng Chongjin said and turned away.

Zeng Chongrong caught up and said, "But sister...why don't you just go? Big brother will take care of it himself, so we won't worry about him! Sister, do you think it's okay?"

"Okay." Zeng Chongjin's answer, faintly with a smile, was transmitted back to the courtyard.

Xiang Lie listened with a blank expression: Take care, sir.

After coming out of Qiyuan, Zeng Chongrong did what he said and immediately took Zeng Chongjin to ask his mother for instructions.

When Mrs. Hu heard that Meng Shisan was going to Bixu Manor today, she stood up from her chair at once: "Yaoyao is going too? Why is she going? Doesn't she know the dangers there?"

The Zeng sisters were stumped by her three consecutive questions.

You looked at me and I looked at you, neither of us could utter a word.

Seeing this, Mrs. Hu pointed at them and said, "Although the Bixu Manor is fun, accidents always happen there. No matter how fun it is, you can't go there anymore. The last time the Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Mountain collapsed, I was so scared that I felt cold all over. Now when I think about it, I still feel scared!"

"Then mother..." Zeng Chongrong asked tentatively.

"You are not allowed to go!" Mrs. Hu did not wait for her little daughter to finish her question and immediately interrupted Zeng Chongrong's idea of ​​joining the fishing competition. She turned her head and scolded her eldest daughter Zeng Chongjin, "Chao Chao, you have always been calm and sensible. How come Mumu is not sensible this time, and you are also not sensible?"

Zeng Chongjin reminded his eldest brother who was missed by Hu: "Mother, my eldest brother is going today too."

"When your elder brother comes to his house, I will definitely have a good talk with him!" Mrs. Hu would never forget her son, but Zeng Chongqi was not at home at the moment. "By the way, doesn't your elder brother still have to work? How can he have time to go out of the city to join in the fun?"

"Maybe it's because of official business?" Zeng Chongjin made up for Zeng Chongqi's thoughts and did not express the original meaning he heard from Xiang Lie.

Zeng Chongrong saw that her sister was covering for her eldest brother, so she naturally followed suit and said, "That's right, big brother can do any job. He also went to watch the fishing on the Canghong Lake today. There must be a reason for that!"

"So..." Mrs. Hu's anger subsided, she sat back in her chair, and looked back at her twin daughters. "Well, they've grown up, and I can't control them anymore."
