Chapter 45
Gong Qinglan nodded, knowing in her heart that Shi Jinyun knew about her grievances with the Li family, so she said it without hesitation.Another one is surrender.

However, with her status as the unpopular Mrs. Qi, why did Shi Jinyun surrender to her?
Seeing her pondering, Shi Jinyun's heart sank, she smiled and said: "Look at my mouth, why bother my sister with these bad things." Changing the subject, she said: "For other trivial matters about the charity fundraising, you can tell the people in the other three prefectures You can do it, but you need to make a ledger to register the donations and money. Don’t pass it through other people’s hands. If there is any shortage, you have to fill the gap yourself.”

Gong Qinglan knew all of this, and there was a lot of oil in it.So every time I go to the charity fundraising meeting, people from all the mansions will ask questions with affection.

Li Liying——

How should she arrange it?

"I heard that the third young lady is the most sociable?" Gong Qinglan thought of the booklet that Qi Jingfeng prepared for her, which recorded Li Liying's deeds in detail.

Shi Jinyun was startled, then smiled and said, "Yes."

"It should be feasible to arrange for the third young lady to borrow tableware from various prefectures?" Gong Qinglan wanted to seize power from Xu's hands through the fundraising association, and she definitely did not allow accidents to happen.Princess Pingyang hated her to the bone, and Li Liying happened to intervene in the fundraising event, how could she not guard against it?

Hearing this, Shi Jinyun suppressed the smile on his face, and looked at Gong Qinglan inquisitively.After a long while, he sighed: "Sister is indeed a smart person."

The two talked about the details of the fundraising meeting, and when it was noon, Gong Qinglan got up to leave.

Shi Jinyun ordered Huae to lead her out of the mansion, watched Gong Qinglan's figure disappear into the courtyard from a distance, thought for a moment, and the smile on her face faded away. "Come out."

A man in a red brocade robe inlaid with gold trim came out from the inner room, with a jade crown and hair tied up.The facial features are exquisite and beautiful, but they are not feminine at all.The sharpness between the brows added a bit of vigor.

"It's her?" Shi Jinyun's tone was cold, her face was covered with frost, and she didn't see the enthusiasm before.

Feng Ming slowly walked to the edge of the kang, lazily leaning on the pillow.Rubbing the teacup that Gong Qinglan had drunk with her fingers, she said without doubt. "No mistake."

"Testing just now, she is a cautious person, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to get words out of her mouth." Shi Jinyun's face was solemn, and Gong Qinglan was easy-going and easy to get close to.In fact, it is very defensive, and generally very few people can gain her trust. "Extremely difficult." His tone was a little more emphatic.

Feng Ming was inside the whole time, so she could hear Gong Qinglan's words, she said every sentence after careful consideration, beyond her control, she just laughed without saying a word, quietly sipped tea and listened.

Under my heart, I couldn't help being a little curious about her.

"If you can't find out before the fundraising meeting, then... that's all. You make friends with her and win her trust." After finishing speaking, Feng Ming left Nuanxiangyuan.

However, Gong Qinglan, who had just walked out of Nuanxiangyuan, was stopped by Mrs. Wei's maid: "Mrs. Qi, Madam invites you to have dinner in the residence."

Gong Qinglan declined, but heard the servant girl say: "Madam knows that you will refuse, let this servant tell you that Mrs. Qi Er and Miss Qi are with her and have something important to say to you."

Hearing this, Gong Qinglan's heart sank, and she had a bad premonition.

水榭
The atmosphere was solemn, and the two servant girls knelt on the ground, shivering.

The second wife, Mrs. Xu, stood aside with a pale complexion, and Qi Chuying sat on the twig with her whole body wet, her face pale, and her bright almond eyes were full of panic.

Mrs. Wei's face was calm, and she couldn't see any happiness or anger.With lowered eyelids, fiddled with the tea cover, looked at the ups and downs of the tea leaves, and said slowly: "Who is leading Miss Qi to Fengyinxuan?" The calm and unwavering voice revealed a sense of majesty.

The faces of the two servant girls turned pale in an instant, and they cried out: "Madam, I don't know. The servant girl led Miss Qi to change clothes, and Miss Qi asked the servant girl to go to the flower garden to pick three-color peonies for her. The servant girl picked the flowers and brought them back. , I heard Miss Qi screaming, and when she rushed over, she had already fallen into the lotus pond at the gate of Fengyinxuan." As he spoke, he took out the shriveled peony from his sleeve tremblingly.

"Ma'am, this maidservant wants to take Miss Qi to San Mistress's Shuiyue Zhai, which is opposite to Fengyinxuan Road, how can she go there?" Another servant girl pleaded tremblingly.

Everyone in the Hou Mansion knows that Fengyinxuan is home to distinguished guests from the capital, and they like quietness the most.Since the distinguished guests moved in, it has been divided into forbidden areas.Normally, they would take a detour to pass through the gate of Fengyinxuan, so how could they take the guests there by mistake?

"You guys are lying!" Qi Chuying's beautiful eyes were full of tears, and she was about to cry.The voice is not sharp, but weak and soft, more accusatory. "How can I be so ignorant of etiquette? Besides, I have been allergic to pollen since I was a child. I have never planted flowers in the yard, and it is impossible for me to order you to pick peonies. If it wasn't... If it wasn't for Mr. Feng's rescue, I don't know how to slander you!"

Mrs. Wei didn't say a word, her sharp eyes swept over several people, and she put down the teacup.Li Liying, who was waiting behind her, hurriedly smiled and said: "Mother, Miss Qi is right. She is also a guest in our mansion. This is the first time she comes to the mansion. How do you know the way to Fengyinxuan? I am afraid that she will be tricked by these people. My girl was killed!"

Qi Chuying looked at Li Liying gratefully. She just asked if the distinguished guests in the mansion were arranged in which courtyard?The servant girl took her to Feng Yinxuan, and before she could see clearly, she was pushed into the lotus pond with a blur in front of her eyes.

But, this sentence must never be said.

"Mother, these two maids are from sister-in-law's side, do you want to call sister-in-law over?" Li Liying looked at Mrs. Wei submissively.

"Chuanfu doctor." Mrs. Wei glanced at Li Liying, then turned to Qi Chuying, saw her face was green, and said slowly: "If these two girls make up things, I will leave it to you to deal with." She didn't mention a word Shi Jinyun, the angry Li Liying gritted her teeth and drank her hatred.

Qi Chuying's face was hot when Mrs. Wei said it, and she felt a little shameless.It seemed like she was lying, but she was allergic to flowers, but only apricot blossoms.In order to avoid disaster, she exaggerated.

He clenched the corner of the skirt with his palms, secretly hating Shi Jinyun in his heart.Thinking of being put together by her maid when she first came to Wei Guohou's Mansion today, and now it is her maid who is leading the way for her, hatred surges in my heart.Could it be that she colluded with Gong Qinglan to frame her?

Xu Rong was also impatient like an ant on a hot pot, Qi Chuying pulled his sleeves, lowered his head and Qi Chuying whispered in his ear, Xu Rong's expression changed.Pointing at Qi Chuying's nose, he cursed angrily: "You shallow-sighted thing, if you want to please your sister-in-law, you should go to the flower farmer to find three-color peonies. Why pick it here for convenience? You deserve to fall into the water!"

Xu Rong secretly praised Qi Chuying for his dexterity, splashing the dirty water on Gong Qinglan and at the same time separating the relationship.The reason why she wanted to pick flowers was just to please her sister-in-law.If someone mentions this in the future, it can be said that he was forced to protect his reputation.If it stinks, it should be Gong Qinglan.
