Chapter 299

After talking with Songchun in the pavilion, and reading a letter written by Zhao Dan'e, Xinmeng returned to the lightly closed door.

Knock knock knock!
"Come in!"

Xinmeng pushed open the door, her faint eyes glanced over Mo Xinchen and Yan Ling who were sitting at the table drinking tea, Yan Qing who was standing aside, and fell on Xiao Lang who was standing in front of the window.

She stepped forward to salute Xiao Lang respectfully, and when she got up, she inadvertently glanced past him and saw the pavilion in the yard, and couldn't help being stunned.

Did he just stand by the window and look at her?

"Finished talking? Let's go have dinner." Xiao Lang walked towards her, and naturally reached out to hold her catkin.

Xin Meng took a step back and saw that slender and white hand stopped because of her avoidance, her eyes flickered, and she apologized quickly: "Eighth Prince, I am really sorry that I can't accompany you for dinner. The daughter is ordered by her mother to leave immediately. I also ask the Eighth Prince to allow my daughter to retire!"

Is there something urgent to leave in a hurry, or is it because Mrs. Shen doesn't like Mengmeng to have too much contact with him and wants Mengmeng to avoid suspicion?Suppressing the faint uneasiness in his heart, Xiao Lang asked: "Is it because something happened in the general's mansion in such a hurry to return home? Do you need help?"

After a moment of silence, Xinmeng didn't want to hide it from him, so she told her frankly: "Grandfather's birthday is approaching, every year at this time mother will go to celebrate his birthday in person, but this year my mother is unable to move, so I asked my servant to give the gift on her behalf, and Participating in grandfather's birthday banquet. Time is running out, and my daughter needs to leave immediately."

"Are you going to Shanyang County, Jiangnan Road?" Xiao Lang asked.He is no stranger to Shanyang County, Jiangnan Road. Mrs. Shen's surname is Zhao, and Shanyang County happens to have a big family with the surname Zhao.

How did he know?Xinmeng was slightly taken aback.

Seeing her doubts, Xiao Lang smiled lightly: "You told those men in black yourself last night, did you forget?"

I see!She thought he went to investigate on purpose.

Xiao Lang asked again: "Is Mengmeng's grandfather's surname Zhao Hongde?"

With a look of surprise on her face, Xinmeng said in surprise, "Exactly! Do you know the grandfather of my daughter?"

"This prince and his old man once met." Xiao Lang said casually, without explaining too much, but he already had a plan in mind.

"Miss Shen's grandfather is actually Zhao Hongde, Senior Zhao?" Mo Xinchen couldn't sit still, and ran to Xin Meng, looked at her eyebrows and eyes carefully, looked at her for a long time, and shook his head, "Tsk tsk, he looks nothing like Senior Zhao." No, no wonder I can’t recognize it.”

Being looked at by Mo Xinchen felt uncomfortable, especially after hearing the last sentence, Xinmeng glared at him sullenly: "This miss is like a grandmother, can't you?"

Most of Xinmeng's body and appearance are inherited from her mother, and Zhao Dan'e resembles her own mother, Zhao Hongde's wife Xu Yaqin.

Therefore, what Xinmeng said was angry but also the truth.

Being blocked by her like this, Mo Xinchen's face changed slightly. He felt Xiao Lang's gaze sweeping over him, suppressed his unhappiness, and thought, for the sake of the Eighth Prince, don't bother with her.

"It just so happens that my prince has nothing to do recently, so I can accompany Mengmeng and you to celebrate Senior Zhao's birthday, and I will have a companion on the way." Xiao Lang pulled Xinmeng's gaze away from Mo Xinchen as he wished, and smiled slightly. He said again, "Don't rush to set off, rest at my place for another night. Tonight I will enter the palace to bid farewell to my father, and we will set off together tomorrow morning."

Xin Meng frowned, before she could speak, she heard Yan Ling happily propose: "Xin Chen, let's go to celebrate Senior Zhao's birthday together."

"No!" Those who objected with one voice included Xin Meng and Mo Xinchen.
