I really don't want to take shortcuts anymore

Chapter 465 The Second Melon
Mrs. Xin frowned almost imperceptibly. How much she had appreciated Mrs. Wan's knowledge and understanding before, but now she was so unhappy.

Of course, this is all strange to the lady. He had already set up the stage and was about to take people to watch it. Unexpectedly, the protagonist withdrew without even saying hello. What else was left to see on the empty stage?
But what she said just now was so conclusive that it had aroused the interest of so many ladies, and it was not something that could be dismissed easily.

Sure enough, before she could answer, Mrs. Liang, Mrs. Zhao and others next to her all followed suit with a smile, saying to go quickly, and then involuntarily surrounded Mrs. Xin and walked in the direction of Beiyuan.

Cui Yingniang did not let go of Luo Qianhuai's hand. She said with a smile: "Since you are here, just relax, go to enjoy the flowers together, eat some fruits, and just stay with those herbs without seeing the world. Even your body smells like medicine."

As she spoke, she called Mrs. Tan beside her: "Go and call Yan Niang. Tell her that Mrs. Jing, who has cured her uncle, is here and ask her to come and meet her as soon as possible!"

After a while, Lou Ziyan came over with her maid Qian'er. First she bowed to her mother-in-law, and then she blessed Luo Qianhuai: "Ayan has met Mrs. Jing."

The system nodded slightly as a return gift.

Lou Ziyan felt that Luo Qianhuai was awe-inspiring and approachable, and had a very good impression of her, so she hugged her other arm affectionately and said in a very familiar voice:

"I have long wanted to get to know the master who saved my uncle. But usually I have to learn to be a female celebrity. Madam, you are too busy and have never found the opportunity. But today I have fulfilled my wish!"

Luo Qianhuai's attention fell on Qian'er behind her.

Since Qian'er came here with her wife, her eyes have been flickering, her face has been turning green and white, her head is so low that it has almost shrunk into her chest, and she still has the intelligence and energy she had before.

The system turned a blind eye to this, but Cui Yingniang frowned fiercely, only to feel that the female envoy next to her daughter was cowering like a dog with no face to show, and it was a total embarrassment to the building.

If she hadn't been a guest outside, she would definitely have had Qian'er taken down and re-taught the rules, and then thrown into the Zhuangzi to be groomed. She would never be allowed to stay with her daughter again.

Xi'er had no idea that she had been completely kicked out of the team of dowry maids just because of her poor expression management, and she was still worrying about what to do next.

She never imagined that the young lady who broke up with Liang Wulang just now was actually Madam Jing who cured Cui Jiulangjun! But she is obviously a girl, how come she is so capable that she can turn a fine iron sword into silver shavings?

The most important thing is, since she is so close to her wife and Lady Yan, will she tell them everything she just saw, including Liang Wulang's plan for Lady Yan?
Fortunately, Mr. Wu did not clearly state what to do, and I think Madam Jing might not be able to guess it.

With this chance, Qian'er picked up the hem of her skirt and followed quickly, but her shoulders suddenly felt heavy and she was patted heavily.

She turned her head in shock and saw Xingxuan's smiling face.

"Your wife and I have a very pleasant conversation." She pressed Qian'er's shoulder and didn't let go: "The two of us should communicate more in private."

Seeing such a large group of people heading towards Beiyuan with great momentum, and the system walking with Lady Yan again, it didn't seem like they would cause any trouble, Luo Qianhuai also put down his worries. Most of it.

Her hearing was very good at this moment, and she could hear all kinds of sounds within a hundred meters. Most of them were just meaningless chatter, but the two ladies at the end of the team said something interesting.

The two ladies are both around forty years old. They don't have many gold ornaments in their hair and their styles are a bit old-fashioned. They are also at the bottom of the queue, which shows that the husband's family's status is not high and their situation may not be good.

But the more such a person is, the more willing they are to talk about all kinds of gossip in private.

The two ladies thought that their voices were not loud enough that no one else could hear them. How could they have imagined that there was someone with extraordinary hearing like Luo Qianhuai.

"I told you before, there is probably something wrong with the mother-in-law who moved next door to my house." Mrs. Futai, who was wearing an autumn-colored straight skirt, faced another woman with a straight face and a turquoise curved skirt. The wife said: "Do you still have any impression?"

"Of course I have an impression." The lady in the turquoise skirt still had a serious expression, but the sparkle in her eyes revealed her true thoughts:
"Didn't you say before that the furniture and furnishings in that woman's house are all very ordinary? Even the seven or eight-year-old young lady next to her is also pampered, and her clothes are much more expensive than those of us, so we suspect that she is Someone’s outer room?”

"Isn't it? Let me tell you, this matter has basically been confirmed!" said the blessed lady from before, quite proudly.

"Oh?" The other lady no longer cared about remaining serious and upright, and kept urging, "But have you seen the man from that family?"

"Of course I saw it. But he was very alert, with a curtain on his head, and there was no mark on the carriage he was riding in." Mrs. Futai said this, but there was no look of disappointment or disappointment on her face. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, as if the secret had been revealed.

Luo Qianhuai's curiosity was also aroused. Could it be the second melon I want to eat today?

She called up the system and saw that on the deposited reward interface, "Three Anecdotes" turned into the words 2/3, and the Arabic numeral "2" in front of it was very light in color and was beating blinkingly. , probably means it’s not completely finished yet.

The reward collection progress has come a long way, and Luo Qianhuai is reassured. She focused her attention on the chat between the two ladies again, and heard a look of understanding on the face of the lady wearing a turquoise skirt:
"Stop being so pretentious. If you hadn't already guessed it so well, why would you say it specifically to whet my appetite?"

"I really can't hide it from you." Madam Futai covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed a few times. She turned her head to look around and saw that no one was paying attention to them. Then she leaned close to the other lady's ear and whispered a few words.

Luo Qianhuai heard clearly what she said: "That man is none other than Da Sima himself!"

If the soul could have a mouth, Luo Qianhuai would have screamed in surprise. What, General Sima, Huo Xuan, the most praised model husband in Dayu, secretly raised an illegitimate daughter outside the house?

The other lady who first heard the news was no less shocked than she was.

"How is that possible?" She unconsciously raised her voice, but was quickly covered by the person next to her.

The two of them looked around again and saw many ladies turning their heads in response to the exclamation, with apologetic expressions on their faces. They nodded in greeting, finally getting rid of everyone's attention.

Luo Qianhuai also learned the identities of these two ladies because of this operation.
