Chapter 75: Far Away
Dong Wushuang is not a brainless person, and he is quite scrupulous about his words.
Although she has been testing the relationship between Meng Shisan and Cui Yu, she is not stupid enough to put the question out in the open. After all, she still remembers Dong Kuan’s warning that girls in the boudoir should not be Get involved with the son-in-law from outside, and talk about people's innocence at will.
In this way, she asked a lot of questions, and Cui Yu was mentioned many times, but they were all as clever as the question just now. It sounded like she was curious about Cui Yu, a noble young man who was in his third year. The fact that she was still not married even after she was more than ten years old could not be related to the inside story that Cui Yu secretly asked Dong Kuan to help her and gave Meng Shisan and Meng Meili two posters to invite her to the palace to attend her birthday banquet.
There were so many people at the banquet that no one asked a single question.
There were only four people at the card table at this time, and Lou Yan was the only one who didn't know the inside story. She and the eldest sister both knew about it. As for Meng Liangchen himself, she didn't believe that he could not know about it.
He either shook his head and said he didn't know, or talked about him indifferently, which made her even more certain that Meng Liangchen must be involved with Cui Yu. At first, she thought that Cui Yu might be because of her, but now she It can be concluded that it has nothing to do with her.
This road is blocked, but there is another way. She has no way to deal with the cunning Meng Liangchen, but she can start with the people around Meng Liangchen.
For example, Meng Meili, who loves to show off.
Dong Linglong scolded Dong Wushuang to calm down, and Meng Shisan glanced at Dong Wushuang in surprise.
Lou Yan walked back and forth between the three of them with eyes wide open, and finally couldn't help but ask Dong Wushuang: "You didn't send the post, so who sent it?"
Before Dong Wushuang could answer, Dong Linglong had already answered: "I, I asked the servants to give it to me."
"Oh." Lou Yan felt that this was worthy of Dong Wushuang's repeated emphasis, and followed Meng Shisan to question Cui Yu. Although she was only ten years old, She is the youngest among the four, but her intuition tells her that things are not that simple.
Unable to answer the many questions in his mind, Dong Wushuang had no intention of continuing to play cards, and soon the four of them dispersed.
Dong Linglong found an opportunity to be alone with Meng Shisan. She took Meng Shisan out of Helan Courtyard and sat down in a waterside pavilion not far outside the hospital. She repeated the old conversation.
Meng Shisan smiled lightly: "Miss Dong..."
"Just call me Yaya, can I call you Yaoyao?" Dong Linglong heard Li Shou call Meng at the peach blossom banquet. The word thirteen is always in my mind.
It's just a title, and Meng Shisan didn't deserve it. He nodded and said: "I really don't have a master. If my skills are very good in Yaya's opinion, it can only show that I have a talent for fighting. Very high. Yaya always asks questions here if she wants to be a master. It’s not like an expert.”
Dong Linglong faced Meng Shisan’s serious look and finally believed it: “I don’t have to find an expert, I just want to figure things out.”
“So now you understand?”
"Understood."
Meng Shisan looked outside the waterside pavilion. It is only separated from Helan Courtyard by a hand-painted corridor. You can see the courtyard gate. Opposite the waterside pavilion is a circular pool with a rockery in the pool. , the water in the pool is calm and the waves are shining.
Going out to attend Dong Wushuang's birthday banquet was just a pretext, and by the way, her purpose of leaving the house today was to seek favors from Cui Yu.
This is an opportunity to leave early.
Unexpectedly, before she could speak to Dong Linglong, she saw two people coming out of the courtyard door, one was Meng Meili and the other was Guo Rong, the protector Guo whom Baozhu secretly introduced to her at the banquet just now. His second daughter, the second young lady of Guo Mansion.
On the day of the Peach Blossom Banquet, she excused herself to leave early. Dong Linglong and Dong Wushuang also left Prince Jing's Mansion early after her because she hurt her face. After that, another incident happened among the girls.
This is how the second young lady of the Guo Mansion accidentally slipped and fell into the lake at the fireworks lake in the back garden of Prince Jing's Mansion. Although this matter was overshadowed by her confrontation with Lu Luo and was not widely known after the Peach Blossom Banquet, it was also spread among the noble ladies. It was inevitable that the elders and peers in the ladies' houses would also be spread. A little bit about it.
Baozhu is a good detective, eloquent and approachable when he smiles, and can easily dispel people's guard.
She is different from the past. She already has spare money in her hands. She uses the money to do things, can talk about it, and can also lead people to leak secrets. What’s more, the matter of Guo Rong falling into the water is not such a secret. It didn’t take long for her to be exposed by the treasure. Find out everything clearly.
After hearing the whole story, she felt that Guo Rong's fall into the water was a matter of course, but a little strange.
Since it is none of her business, she will just listen to it and not pay attention to it.
Now Guo Rong and Meng Meili are walking to the edge of the round pool. Looking from a distance, she can see the impatience on Meng Meili's face and the twinkling light hidden under Guo Rong's eyes. .
I was not present at the time, so I only listened to various speculations from Baozhu, and Li Shou was involved, so I was not allowed to draw any conclusions. Therefore, I am not sure whether Guo Rong's fall into the water was caused by Meng Meijing's calculation. Seeing this situation later, she was sure.
I'm afraid something is going to happen.
Dong Linglong no longer bothered about where Meng Shisan’s skills came from, but she really wanted to make friends with Meng Shisan. Even though she was fifteen this year, this was the first time she met a girl who suited her taste, so she met Meng Shisan. San looked at the round pond in her house. While looking at it, she thought about giving Meng Shisan a good introduction to the origin of the rockery in the round pond.
Unexpectedly, before the words were spoken, she also saw Meng Meili and Guo Rong. The words rolled on the tip of her tongue, and she asked in surprise: "Second Miss Meng actually has a friendship with Second Miss Guo?"
Having participated in so many Four Seasons Flower Appreciation Banquets in the past, she had never seen the annoying Meng Meili and Guo Rong get close. Why did they end up together today?
Looking at the situation of these two people together, it seems that they have something to say about themselves that no one else can listen to.
“I’m afraid their ‘friendship’ is far from the ‘friendship’ Yaya mentioned.” Meng Shisan responded casually.
"What's so different?" Dong Linglong blurted out.
Meng Shisan smiled and said nothing.
Dong Linglong had no choice but to think by herself.
However, she was not a girl who could think quickly. She recited Meng Shisan’s words silently in her heart three times. Fang roughly understood the meaning of Meng Shisan’s words, and then looked at the two people beside the round pond. People couldn't help but stand up as they watched.
Now she is in the Dong Mansion. No matter it is Meng Meili, who disgusts her, or Guo Rong, who is indifferent, neither of them can cause trouble in her Dong Mansion, especially today is the birthday of her second sister. What really happened? After all, let's not talk about the bad luck, lest external rumors would also be detrimental to the second sister's reputation.
The more she thought about it, the less she could let it go. The more she looked at Yuanchi, the more something was wrong. She quickly took a step forward: "I'll go over and have a look. Do you want Yaoyao to come together?"
"Okay." Meng Shisan Get up and follow to the round pond.
It’s a pity it’s too late.
The two of them had just taken a few steps onto the verandah when they heard the sound of falling water.
Dong Linglong and Meng Shisan looked at the round pool together, and saw Meng Meili getting up from the round pool, covered in water and embarrassed, yelling at Guo Rong, while Guo Rong stood in the round pool. By the pool, he put his hands on his waist and looked up at the sky, laughing.
