Chapter 26

The master had no choice but to obey, Ruoxi and the others followed Liu Shi and the others down.

"Let's go to the front to admire the plum blossoms. Girls and mothers-in-law don't follow, so as not to spoil our elegance!" Mrs. Dingbohou said suddenly.

Ruoxi felt even more weird when she heard this, she caught a glimpse of the girl Xiaomo coming out of the oblique hole, her face was a little anxious.She deliberately lagged behind by a few steps, and waved her hand to signal Xiao Mo to come and answer.

"Miss Nine, our girl left in a hurry after receiving a letter. She didn't allow her servants to follow her, but she hasn't been seen until now." Xiao Mo waited for a long while when Ruoying came back, she was worried that something might happen.Anyway, Ruoxi is also a girl from the Han family, so she hurriedly reported back.

Ruoxi was startled when she heard the words, and her heart flickered, "You wait here, maybe the second young mistress has invited the eighth sister to discuss the piano. Remember, don't tell the second person what you just said!" After finishing speaking, she stared at the little girl. With one glance, Mo quickly walked a few steps to catch up with the people in front of him.

Xiao Mo was taken aback by the sharpness in Ruoxi's eyes, she didn't expect that Nine Girls, who usually seemed docile and not good at speaking, were somewhat dignified.Seeing that Gui Yuan and the others were waiting here, she hurriedly shut her mouth tightly and dared not speak nonsense.

But Ruoxi chased after her, and saw a small courtyard under the shadow of the plum grove, and a woman stood at the gate of the courtyard looking eagerly.It was the woman in charge next to the Second Young Mistress, Ruoxi was even more surprised when she saw this.

"Where's the person?" Liu asked with a gloomy face.

"Return to Mrs. Lin, the third master is in the east room, the eighth girl is in the upper room, and Liu Rui's family is accompanying her." She hurried back.

After hearing this, the second wife of the Hou Mansion didn't care about others, and hurried to the side room, but the third wife hesitated and followed.Seeing this, Mrs. Liu glanced back at Ruoxi, then asked Mrs. Hou: "It's not good for the girls to know about it, but right now there are no elders in the Han family, what should Mrs. Hou do?"

"I don't care about so much right now, at least there must be a Han family listening. If something happens, we can't say that our Houfu is bullying others. You are relatives at both ends, and it is biased to help anyone get ahead. A girl, let's go in." Madam Hou glanced at Ruo Ling, after all, she was the oldest in terms of age.

Ruo Ling also felt that something serious had happened, and was already frightened. Seeing Madam Hou looking at her, her face became paler and paler.She grabbed Ruoxi's hand beside her, her body trembling a little.

Seeing this, Mrs. Hou shook her head secretly, the concubine had never seen a big scene, and she was so frightened that she lost her soul before it happened.She looked at the Seventh Girl Ruoting behind her again, and her eyes flashed when she saw her put on a look of nothing to do with herself.

"I'll go in with my aunt and Mrs. Hou." Ruoxi said suddenly.

Madam Hou was stunned for a moment, nodded when she saw her calm face, and said, "Okay, Seventh Miss and Sixth Miss will go to the west side room to rest, it's best not to come out for a walk."

Ruo Ling hurriedly agreed, how dare she wander around casually?There is a foreigner in the east side room, and I don't know what happened to Ruoying inside!

Mrs. Liu led the way, Ruoxi gave Ruoling a calm look and followed Madam Hou.

Entering the main room, Ruoxi immediately saw that Ruoling was crying, accompanied by a well-dressed woman, and there was no one else besides.

"Ninth Sister!" Seeing her getting more and more wronged, Ruo Ling burst into tears.

She hurried over to hold Ruo Ling's hand, looked her up and down and saw that her clothes were neat and she was not injured, so she comforted her: "Eighth sister, don't cry, everything is decided by Auntie and Mrs. Hou!"

"Ba girl, what's going on? You didn't listen to the opera with us in Changyin Pavilion, why are you here?" Liu asked.

Ruoxi's eyes flashed when she heard the words, there was obviously a questioning meaning in these words.The third young master of the Lin family was in the east side room, and what Liu said was implying that Ruoying came here to seduce him on purpose!This is a lifelong honor of the girl's family, even though the other party is Ding Bohou, she can't force Ruoying to her death!To be honest, Ruoxi doesn't like Ruoying's style, but she can't write two "Han" characters in one stroke.Now they can only hug each other, they must not be humiliated.

Thinking of this, she raised her head and said, "Grandmother thought our sisters would be at ease here, so she didn't let my wife follow. Now that something happened, I'd better ask my aunt to send a safe person to invite grandma and wife to the house quickly. Eighth sister can't bear it." A little frightened, I will take her inside to comfort her first. Today is my aunt, please listen to the opera in the inner courtyard. Why is Master Lin San here? I think Mrs. Hou should invite him to ask first, after all, here It's still inside the second door!"

Mrs. Liu was startled when she heard this, but she couldn't find any suitable words to fight back with anger on her face.Mrs. Hou stared at Ruoxi with scrutiny, she didn't expect that she, who was weak outside, would be so smart.These words made it impossible to find fault, and also implied that the instigator of the incident should be Lin Yihao, and Liu, as the main family, was also responsible for allowing the outsider to walk around the inner courtyard at will.

It happened so suddenly, she could quickly guess one or two just by observing her, and immediately took the initiative. It seems that this girl is very resourceful!Mrs. Hou had some appreciation in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.

"Okay, let's do it like this!" Mrs. Hou said.

Upon hearing the words, Mrs. Liu ordered Liu Rui's family to go to the Han Mansion to invite someone, and when she saw the two Ruoxi sisters go in, she ordered Mama Zhang to go to the side room to invite someone.

After a while, the second wife, third wife and Lin Yihao came in.Lin Yihao's expression was a little frustrated and confused, and his whole body was completely gone from his usual handsomeness.

"Siblings, what's going on?" Madam Hou asked the second wife instead of him.

The second wife glared at him resentfully, and said bitterly: "It was agreed to go drink with friends, who knows why he is here? I just asked for a long time, but I didn't say a word, just lost my soul." Ordinarily, I don’t know what kind of evil charm it is!”

"Siblings sit down to put out the fire, cursing won't solve the problem right now. The old ladies and wives of the Han family will come over in a while, and there must be an explanation for right and wrong!" Mrs. Hou turned her head and said to Liu, "Call in the old woman you met first. Just ask."

Ruoxi's hearing was really bright inside, she glanced at Ruoling who was listening to the sound with her ears upright, and her heart suddenly moved.

Ruoxi saw that Ruoying stopped crying, but instead raised her ears to listen to the movement outside, a strange thought suddenly came to her heart.She dragged Ruoying inside, and asked in a low voice, "There are no outsiders here, eighth sister, let me tell you the whole story. Grandmother and wife will come over after a while, and I'll feel more at ease when I tell you more!"

Ruoying's heart skipped a beat after hearing her words, she felt a sense of being seen through, and she didn't dare to look her in the eyes for a moment.Ruoying hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Second Young Mistress asked me to come over to discuss the piano, so I looked for it. When I came in, I found a guqin in the room and played it. I didn't expect the sound of the flute to come in. I am full of heart." I thought it was the Second Young Mistress, but when the song was over, I got up and found the Third Young Master Lin standing behind me. He was a little excited when he saw me, and he was holding my arm... I kept saying something like 'wrong, no'. At this time Two women came in, and then you came."
