The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 238 An Old Friend

In the evening, Mrs. Cui came back from the palace with an extremely ugly face.

Madam Du asked cautiously: "Madam, is the queen mother angry?"

Even if the queen mother is angry, she should not do anything to the old lady, after all, the old lady is the mother of the queen mother.

Mrs. Cui did not answer her question, but asked Cui Hengyue: "How many people did that stinky girl choose?"

"Sixteen." Lady Du replied respectfully.

Mrs. Cui was very surprised: "You actually picked everything in one go? No moth?"

It's not like that stinky girl to be so worry-free.

Mrs. Du didn't understand what Mrs. Cui's "Yao Mozi" meant, so she told everything in detail.

"And picked a disfigured woman?"

Madam Cui frowned: "What errand did she arrange for this woman?"

Lady Du: "After I told them the rules of the mansion, I sent them to Jinglan Garden.

"Yuan Niang didn't avoid me, she made arrangements on the spot, and that disfigured Lady Wen was assigned to guard the gate."

Goalkeeper?

Mrs. Cui pondered for a while: "Does she want this Mrs. Wen to scare away other people, so that they dare not go to her Jinglan Garden?"

Mrs. Du: "She really wants to use Mrs. Wen to scare people, but Mrs. Wen is not guarding the courtyard gate, but the main room."

Is this to prevent others from approaching the main house?

Hehe, it's ridiculous, how could a disfigured face scare off her people?
Mrs. Cui felt that Cui Hengyue was too immature to be her opponent at all.

"Among the people she chose, how many are from us?"

Lady Du lowered her head, her tone was a little weak: "...one."

"One?" Mrs. Cui was very surprised. She chose sixteen people, but only one was hers?
Is it a coincidence?
Or is that stinky girl hiding her secrets?
Mrs. Cui felt that she should take back her evaluation of Cui Hengyue just now.

"Let's take a look first, let our people watch carefully, and report to me if there is any trouble."

"Yes, old lady."

After dinner, Cui Hengyue walked out of the room, saw Mrs. Wen guarding the door, took out a veil and threw it over: "Cover your face."

Shui Fu raised her eyebrows: "Yuanniang, don't you want Mrs. Wen to scare people with this face? How can she scare people with her face covered?"

"I'm talking about scaring people, not my own people." Cui Hengyue said angrily.

Oh, that's right, it should be covered up.

Shui Fu urged: "Miss Wen, quickly cover your face."

Lady Wen didn't say anything, and put on a veil to cover that scary face.

"You..." Shui Fu suddenly stared into Lady Wen's eyes.

Lady Wen remained motionless, allowing her to look at her.

Cui Hengyue looked over: "What's wrong?"

"She seems very familiar." Shui Fu put her chin on her hand, frowning deeply: "But if you look closely, it's very strange."

Hearing this, Cui Hengyue and Shui Rong also stared at Miss Wen, and Shui Rong even raised the lantern to Miss Wen's face.

"I haven't seen her before." Cui Hengyue looked away.

Shui Rong put down the lantern: "I haven't seen her either."

At this time, Shui Fu already felt that Mrs. Wen was getting more and more unfamiliar: "It's too dark, I must have read it wrong."

Cui Hengyue didn't pay attention to Mrs. Wen anymore, she walked around Jinglan Garden, then went back to her room to take a bath and get ready to sleep.

"Tonight, you two go back to your room to sleep, and let Mrs. Wen stay on duty overnight." Cui Hengyue ordered.

Shuifu didn't move, approached Cui Hengyue and said, "Yuanniang, Mrs. Wen is here, aren't you afraid of having nightmares at night?"

"What's there to be afraid of? I'm not those dainty little ladies."

Cui Hengyue waved her hand: "Okay, you guys go back to your room."

Shui Fu and Shui Rong looked at each other and left the room silently.

Walking outside the door, Shui Fu said to Mrs. Wen in a commanding tone: "Take care of the little lady tonight. If the little lady makes any mistakes, I will kill you."

Mrs. Wen was not frightened by her, and said "yes" expressionlessly.

Shui Fu walked away with a flick of her sleeves.

After a while, the yard was so quiet that the sound of the wind blowing the leaves could be heard. Cui Hengyue sat up from the bed and called out: "Miss Wen."

In the blink of an eye, Lady Wen walked in: "Does Yuan Niang want to drink water?"

"If you don't drink water, come here and let's talk."

Cui Hengyue patted the bed beside her and motioned for Mrs. Wen to sit down.

Lady Wen was flattered, and waved her hands again and again: "I can't do it, I can't do it.

"Slave status is humble, how can I sit with the little lady?"

Cui Hengyue suddenly called out: "Li Bi'er, come here."

Mrs. Wen was stunned.

But soon she came to her senses and asked blankly, "Who is Yuan Niang calling?"

"Stop pretending, Li Bi'er, I recognized you a long time ago." Cui Hengyue looked at Mrs. Wen fixedly.

There was a sudden silence in the room.

After a few breaths, Mrs. Wen bent her eyes, walked over and sat beside Cui Hengyue, and recovered her voice: "Crazy girl, when did you recognize me?"

The corners of Cui Hengyue's lips curled slightly: "I recognized the look in your eyes when you and Shui Fu were arguing during the day."

Recognize her with just one look?

Mrs. Wen was in a complicated mood and didn't answer.

"By the way, why did you come to Duke Jing's mansion?" Cui Hengyue asked.

Lady Wen raised her eyebrows: "Didn't you let me stay by your side for three years?"

Before leaving Yunxuan Temple, Cui Hengyue found her suddenly and said that she could help her grandfather and father reverse the case, but she had to help Cui Hengyue go down the mountain first, and then stay by Cui Hengyue's side for three years.

So, here she is.

Cui Hengyue was stunned for a moment: "That's right, but I didn't expect you to come so soon, so I still use this method."

"You don't care what method I use. Anyway, I've kept my promise and I've stayed by your side." Mrs. Wen snorted.

Sure enough, it was still the mighty Li Bier.

Cui Hengyue twitched the corners of her mouth and stared into her eyes: "Seriously, who did you learn this disguise from? Even your eyes have changed."

It doesn't seem to have changed much, just a little smaller and a little longer.

And the scars on her face seem to have grown a lot.

Lady Wen's expression suddenly softened: "An old friend."

Old friend?

Is it Li's old friend?Or was it the expert she knew before entering Yunxuan Temple?Or is it someone from Yunxuan Temple?
Cui Hengyue blinked: "Do I know this person?"

Mrs. Wen: "...you haven't seen it before."

She paused.

It seems to be someone from Yunxuan Temple.

Who is this person?
Cui Hengyue hid her doubts in her heart, and said nonchalantly: "Since you have followed your promise and entered the Yasukuni Mansion, then you should hold your breath and not act rashly.

"Don't worry, I will help you find out about your grandfather's case and return their innocence."

Lady Wen lowered her eyes: "I know."

Cui Hengyue pointed to the beauty couch next to her: "You can sleep there tonight, I'm going to sleep."

After speaking, he lay down and closed his eyes.

Lady Wen looked at Cui Hengyue with a complicated expression.

This crazy girl really didn't guard against her at all.

Laughing silently, Mrs. Wen got up, walked to the beauty's couch, took off her boots, and lay down on it.

She slowly closed her eyes, and two kind faces suddenly appeared in her mind
