The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 707: Calling the Horse

"Okay, go ask around." Shopkeeper Yu placed the oil lamp on the table and waved his hand to have the waiter run to the theater again.

The waiter yawned, rubbed his tired eyes, and reluctantly walked out of the shop to continue inquiring about the bloody fight.

Chang'an rushed to Lingnan overnight, and Feng Zheng took over Chang'an to thoroughly investigate the collapse of Dengshan and other ongoing matters. Meng Shisan never intended to report this to Old Lady Meng.

Therefore, except for Meng Renping and Meng Renji who were already in the bureau, no one in the Meng Mansion, including Meng Tianguan and Meng Zhidu, knew what Meng Shisan was busy with. Old Lady Meng and Shang felt that as long as Meng Shisan's health was getting better and better, it would be fine for him to go out more often as long as he was careful when he was outside.

When Meng Shisan got married, her casual life in the boudoir was no longer as satisfying as she had hoped.

They have all been through it and understand it very well.

As for Meng Zhinian and Wu, the couple had never been able to interfere in the major affairs of the Meng Mansion. Being able to manage the affairs of the second house was already a great success.

But because Meng Meijing became closer and closer to Meng Shisan, she went in and out of Taichen Courtyard more and more frequently and knew more and more things, making Meng Meijing the person who knew more.

As for Meng Ren'an and Meng Renkang, they are still studying and only come back on their monthly days off. When they return home, they will most likely not take the initiative to go to Taichen Courtyard. If they don't take the initiative, Meng Shisan naturally won't take the initiative either.

Seeing that Meng Meijing and Meng Shisan's relationship was getting better and better, they were just curious and said a few words to each other in private, and then didn't say anything more.

Especially Meng Renkang. Ever since he accidentally caused trouble for Meng Shisan last time, and he was slow to realize it, Meng Shisan treated him like an elder sister and severely disciplined him. He felt more and more ashamed to see Meng Shisan.

So let alone going to Taichen Courtyard, even if he accidentally met her from a distance outside the courtyard, he had to walk around her.

Baozhu was very dissatisfied with this: "The fourth young master is too ignorant!"

Meng Shisan smiled and said, "He still has some sense of shame, so he's not too ignorant."

I knew I was too embarrassed to see her, so I avoided her.

When he grows up a little and experiences more, he will naturally not behave in such childish ways anymore.

As soon as he finished speaking, Shangchun went into Mingxiao Hall to report: "Miss, Mr. Ma is here indeed."

"You're here quite early." Meng Shisan had just finished his breakfast. "Have you come to Qingmingtang?"

"I'm watching the tea." Shangchun replied, "I've also asked Xiuyu to report to the Madam."

Meng Shisan nodded slightly: "Okay."

Shang was busy in the Zehuiyuan Council Hall when she heard that an old man came to look for Meng Shisan. She was surprised and couldn't help but ask, "Did the old man explain his purpose?"

Xiuyu didn't know either. She just followed Shangchun's words and came to report: "I don't know."

"Then..." Shang thought of Meng Shisan, "Come here and tell me, is this Yaoyao's intention?"

"Aunt Shangchun said that it was the young lady's idea." Xiu Yu replied.

"Okay, you go first, I'll be there soon." Shang followed the principle of treating guests as guests, and immediately stood up and straightened her skirt. No matter what the visitor's intention was, she couldn't be rude. "Take good care of the tea, and don't be negligent."

"Yes." Xiu Yu took the order and left.

Mrs. Cai watched Xiuyu walk out of the board room, and then said, "Madam, didn't Xiuyu just say that the old man was dressed like a commoner? I think he is just an ordinary person with no power or influence. What can happen to him?" Shang said as she walked out, "What's wrong with ordinary people? Ordinary people sometimes do great things!"

Although she did not have a complete understanding of the collapse of the mountain of lights that occurred at the Bixu Manor on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, she had heard her husband mention it, so she had some knowledge of it.

The entire mountain of lights fell down, killing many ordinary people on the spot.

She originally thought that those people were unlucky and destined to die under the Mid-Autumn Festival lanterns. However, her husband said that those people were not unlucky, but were just trying to take money and risk their lives.

People who are willing to risk their lives are all the same, no matter they are ordinary people or royal nobles. They only have one life, and if it is lost, it is gone.

When Xiu Yu returned to Taichen Courtyard, Meng Shisan was still sitting in Mingxiao Hall. After asking Xiu Yu what she said about Shang Shi, she sat in the hall for a while before getting up and going to Qingming Hall in the front yard.

Baozhu didn't understand: "Why did the young lady wait for a while? Isn't that Mr. Ma the person the young lady wanted to see?"

Since last night she had told Aunt Shangchun in advance, it can be seen that Mr. Ma has a certain weight in the eyes of the young lady.

How come the lady is so slow even though we arrived so early this morning?
Meng Shisan glanced at Baozhu who looked puzzled, and said to Shangchun, "Tell Baozhu about it."

Xiu Yu, who was following behind, didn't understand either. Upon hearing what was said, she took two steps closer and leaned over to Shangchun to listen carefully.

Shangchun explained their doubts, "Young lady is waiting for the first lady to talk to Mr. Ma before she comes. In this way, when young lady enters Qingming Hall, the first lady will have understood Mr. Ma's purpose and will have examined whether Mr. Ma is here to cause trouble."

"Mr. Ma is definitely not here to cause trouble!" Baozhu immediately spoke up for Mr. Ma.

Xiu Yu did not express her opinion, she had never met Mr. Ma.

Shangchun smiled: "Yes, the eldest lady has understood, examined, and is relieved. Only then can the young lady and Mr. Ma have a good talk."

Just as Shangchun said, when Meng Shisan stepped into Qingmingtang, Shang and Ma Lao had a very pleasant conversation. Shang Shi not only understood Ma Lao's purpose of visit, but also eliminated her worries about Ma Lao.

Soon after, she got up and left appropriately, returning to the backyard to continue handling the miscellaneous daily affairs of the Meng Mansion.

After seeing Shang off, Meng Shisan looked back at Mr. Ma and slowly smiled, "I never thought that the old gentleman would tell my aunt that he came to thank me for painting for your young lady."

Mr. Ma also smiled, and the wrinkles on his face rose one after another: "It's the best reason, and it's also the fact."

"Please sit down, old sir." Meng Shisan stretched out his hand and gestured for invitation.

Mr. Ma nodded.

The two of them sat down in the armchair on the left.

The first thing Mr. Ma said when he sat down was: "Miss Meng, you don't have to call me 'old gentleman'. My surname is Ma, and my young lady gave me a name with just one character - Ji. If you don't mind, you can call me Ma Ji like you do."

The young lady refers to Meng Shisi, and the eldest young lady refers to Meng Shisan. He can tell the difference very clearly.

Meng Shisan also heard it clearly, and did not act pretentiously or object, but nodded readily: "Okay, Ma Ji."

"I'm here to bother you today mainly because of two things." Mr. Ma didn't beat around the bush and directly stated the purpose of his visit today.
