The Reborn Noble Daughter

Chapter 49 49. Meet again

The appointment to the Xu family emptied most of the Liang family's wealth, and even a lot of the dowry left to her by her mother during her lifetime was forcibly taken away by her father and given to the rich granddaughter of the pavilion elder.

How could she not be angry when she saw that the warehouse was mostly empty.

 In her heart, she even wished that the marriage had ended. Originally, she and her future sister-in-law had never dealt with each other. After this incident, she became even more angry.

Xu Mingyue was busy talking to Bai Siruo, but she didn't notice Liang Luo's thoughts.

At the male guests' table not far away, Mr. Liang, who was supposed to be proud of the spring breeze, felt a bit sad. At this moment, he took two sips of wine, causing him to cough several times.

The sound was not loud, and people around did not notice it.

On the other hand, Wei Lanxuan, who was chatting with several princes, caught a glimpse of his frustrated look from the corner of her eye, and winked at the maid Yue Jian behind her.

Yue Jian has grown up with Wei Lanxuan since she was a child. He doesn't even need to give her orders, he knows what to do just by looking at her eyes.

While no one was paying attention, he went to the waterside pavilion and called a boy over. After giving a few instructions, he pretended that nothing happened and returned to the table.

 After half a cup of tea, the boy stepped forward to help Mr. Liang, who was somewhat drunk.

 “I’m not drunk, why should I go to the wing?”

His voice was not loud, but his face was a bit sulky.

The boy whispered a few words in his ear, and his eyes showed various emotions, which finally turned into a deep sigh. He stood up and let the boy leave the table.

I thought that all this was done without leaving any trace, but unfortunately Feng Jinyao had already thought about it and naturally saw it.

He quietly pulled Bai Siruo's sleeve, signaling to her that the show was about to begin.

Bai Siruo got her reminder and looked at Bai Sihan for the first time with sincerity in his eyes.

"My sister has lived in Qiongzhou for a long time, and I'm afraid she has never visited the mansions in Dongdu City. The back garden of the Wei family is not ordinary. If you are interested, can we take you for a walk?"

Today’s dinner is not a formal banquet, so it’s okay for the guests to move around.

Bai Sihan glanced sideways at where Wei Lanxuan and others were. They were busy talking to the princes and completely forgot about her. She felt anxious again and immediately replied, "Sister, you are kind, so please lead the way." ”

"Let's go." Bai Siruo pulled Bai Sihan forward for the first time, but Xu Mingyue's eyes widened and she looked at Feng Jinyao with confusion.

Xu Mingyue asked in a low voice after the Bai sisters took a few steps away.

"Siruo, what are your plans for this girl?"

From her point of view, Bai Siruo's grievances are very clear. Since she and her cousin have already been on bad terms, they will never rebuild their old relationship. This behavior must be fishy.

Feng Jinyao stepped forward and held her arm, and said close to her ear, "Sister, just wait and see the good show."

Xu Mingyue was suspicious about what kind of medicine the two men were selling in their gourds.

As soon as they left the waterside pavilion and walked a few steps, they bumped into Duke Wei. Standing next to them was none other than Prince Ding, Xiao Tingyi.

Hairburns are as sharp as a knife, and eyebrows are like ink paintings. His slightly thin body is wrapped in mink fur, and his face is unusually pale.

 He always showed his sick body to others, but no one dared to look down upon him.

 There are those who are timid and cannot even look at him.

Feng Jinyao didn’t dare to slack off even a little bit.

In the last life, she had heard praise and slander about him from many people. Such a person was never as calm and silent as he appeared on the surface, and a strong sense of fear arose in his heart.

 “I’ve met the emperor’s uncle, I’ve met the country’s duke.”

Bai Siruo was the first to react, and he took the remaining three people to say hello immediately.

 Xiao Tingyi raised his hand slightly, but did not speak.

 At this moment, Duke Wei was like a kind old man, looking at the four people with a somewhat gentle expression. "The county master doesn't need to be polite, where are you going?"

“The garden at the Duke’s residence is also very beautiful in winter. My sisters and I plan to take a stroll.”

“Very good, very good. Can I arrange for someone to accompany you?”

“Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Guo. We are just going around the area, there is no need to send anyone to guide the way.”

The area connected to the back garden, the front hall and the backyard are guarded by servants, so there is no fear of them breaking in by mistake.

 In addition, there were many young men and ladies gathering outside the water pavilion, so Duke Wei was not suspicious.

Bai Siruo has always been afraid of this seventeenth emperor's uncle, so after getting the approval of Duke Wei, he quickly left with the three of them.

Bai Sihan had only seen the rumored Prince Ding once at a banquet before, but now that he saw him face to face, he was actually fascinated by his appearance.

He boldly looked back at Xiao Tingyi, but was frightened by the indifference in his eyes. He felt a little colder for some reason.

Suddenly, Mr. Wen's face popped into his mind. He was so masculine and gentle, he was a good match.

Prince Ding, this sick man probably won’t live long. Forget it, it’s better not to mess with him.

 Looking at their hurried away figures, Xiao Tingyi was used to it.

 For so many years, he has never cared about any woman in his heart, so that rumors gradually spread outside that he was not close to women. Unfortunately, this did not allow him to marry a wife and take concubines to prove his reputation.

 Therefore, apart from the maids who serve as servants, there is no mistress in Prince Ding's palace.

It was Feng Jinyao’s back that fell into his eyes.

She is a strange person. She does good deeds without leaving her name, but when she sees him, she seems to be wary of something, and she wants to run away with her head in her arms.

Maybe this girl Bai Siruo said something in front of her.

 “Your Majesty, please come this way.”

Just as he was thinking about it, he was interrupted by Wei Guogong's words. He withdrew his eyes from watching her leave and followed her into the waterside pavilion.

In the waterside pavilion, the eldest prince and the sixth prince were chatting happily, while the ninth prince beside him was drinking wine by himself. Liang Luo was closer to him. Seeing him like this, he couldn't help but feel a little more distressed.

Oddly enough, this ninth prince is actually a little more uncertain than the eldest prince and sixth prince next to him.

 She actually likes this kind of temperament. If it weren't for Wei Lanxuan...

I'm afraid that she still wants to compete, but now, Wei Lanxuan is about to enter the Ninth Prince's Mansion and become the main concubine. If she succumbs to being a side concubine, I'm afraid even this bit of sisterhood will be wasted. .

By then, the Liang family will definitely suffer crazy revenge from the Wei family, and such a result is not something she can bear.

Therefore, if you like this idea, you can only keep it deep in your heart, hide it in the deepest part of your eyes, and not be discovered by anyone.

When Wei Guogong and Xiao Tingyi walked in, the Sixth Prince happened to see them.

 “The emperor’s uncle is here, and so is the Duke.”

 The tone was full of respect and intimacy, and he didn't dare to be a little bit disrespectful.

 Similarly, the eldest prince and the ninth prince also stood up respectfully. Even though the uncle was similar in age to them, due to their seniority and the trump card he held in his hand, they did not dare to slight him.

 “Uncle of the Emperor, Duke of the country.”

 “Imperial uncle, maternal grandfather.”

"Hmm." Xiao Tingyi was used to being cold and indifferent. Even when they met at a palace banquet, they just said hello, and his words were so precious that people gritted their teeth.
