Chapter 74 The real show has not yet begun
Xiao Jingheng raised his head and glanced over with a cold look, which scared Qin Muyan so much that he felt a chill down his spine and a creepy feeling.
He was about to run when he suddenly heard a woman's voice behind him: "Qin Muyan!"
Qin Muyan turned around and saw Xiao Yetang running towards him, and the jade pendant hanging on her waist looked very familiar.
He looked at it carefully. Wasn't this the fan pendant that he lost to Song Shiwei?
His face darkened, and he pointed at the pendant on her waist and asked, "Why is it here with you?"
Xiao Yetang raised his eyebrows with an arrogant expression: "Song Shiwei gave it to me. I heard that someone lost a bet. Why do you want it back?"
Qin Muyan snorted: "It's not something expensive, if you lose, you lose.
I just didn't expect that Her Royal Highness the Princess likes my things so much?"
"I bother."
Xiao Yetang refused to admit defeat and argued with him: "Haven't you never lost in the capital?
It turns out that Master Qin also has times when he is not as skilled as others. I really thought you were omnipotent, but it turns out you are just like this. "
"you……"
Qin Muyan was very angry with her. This little girl was very sharp-tongued and he had never won an argument with her.
He decided to fight her in a different way!
Qin Muyan took a deep breath, then reached out and picked a flower and handed it to Xiao Yetang.
Xiao Yetang was stunned for a moment, looked at him in confusion and asked, "What do you mean?"
"I'm here to apologize. I shouldn't have laughed at you last time. Your Highness is wise and brave. Please don't bother with me, okay?"
Qin Muyan's voice was somewhat gentle, as if he was coaxing her.
Xiao Yetang couldn't help but blush. He had known Qin Muyan for so long but he had never apologized to her so seriously.
She looked at the flower in Qin Muyan's hand and felt her mood improved.
Xiao Yetang was about to reach out to take it, but Song Shiwei suddenly stopped her and said, "Princess, you must remember one thing: men's words are deceiving.
He suddenly apologizes to you in such a humble manner, he must be trying to seduce you with his beauty, you must not be fooled."
Xiao Yetang woke up suddenly, as the saying goes, when something is abnormal, there must be something wrong.
Qin Muyan suddenly showed his affection to her, but she was afraid that if she accepted it, he would take the opportunity to make fun of her.
She glared at Qin Muyan, took the flowers he handed her, threw them on the ground, stomped on them a few times and said, "You are teasing me again!"
Xiao Yetang's eyes were red, and he turned around and ran away.
Qin Muyan panicked for no reason, and Song Shiwei urged him, "What are you still standing there for? Go and chase after him."
Hearing this, Qin Muyan hurriedly left the pavilion and went after Xiao Yetang.
Xiao Jingheng looked confused and asked puzzledly: "What are you doing?"
Song Shiwei asked him: "Does Qin Muyan really want to send flowers to the princess?
Once this flower is given away, it will hurt the princess's heart, and Qin Muyan will not be able to comfort her even if he wants to.
But it would be different if we tried to coax her now, maybe we could open up to each other.”
Xiao Jingheng still didn't quite understand.
Seeing his somewhat confused expression, Song Shiwei laughed at herself and said, "Your Highness must have never experienced what it's like when expectations are dashed and turned into a joke."
She looked at Jamel Xiao and said, “There is also the taste of deception and concealment.”
Xiao Jingheng was startled, and the expression on Zhang Jun's face was visibly panicked.
He called her in a trembling voice: "Shi Wei."
Song Shiwei turned around and interrupted him, saying, "The banquet is about to begin. If you have anything to say, wait until the banquet is over!"
Xiao Jingheng looked at her leaving figure, feeling more and more uneasy.
He knew she had found out!
I just don’t know what kind of result will be waiting for him?
……
Begonia Courtyard.
Song Mingzhu was lying on the bed crying loudly, while the quarrel coming from next door was quite intense.
Cheng Enbo was so angry that his face turned blue. He pointed at Zhou and cursed, "You did this again. Do you have to destroy Mingzhu and my Song family before you are satisfied?"
Zhou was so frightened that she trembled and cried, "I only resorted to this desperate measure because I wanted to facilitate the marriage with Yongning Marquis.
Who would have thought that Shen Linchuan would appear out of nowhere and ruin my good fortune. "
She gritted her teeth and really hated Shen Linchuan.
Cheng Enbo said: "You still have the nerve to blame Shen Linchuan? You can even use something as important as your daughter's reputation to plot against her.
Now, Mingzhu was rescued by Shen Linchuan in front of everyone. Although I made up an excuse, do you think anyone will believe it?
After something like this happened, it would be difficult to find a good family for Mingzhu.
The only way to protect her is to find someone to marry her off far away from the capital."
"Master, you absolutely cannot do that."
Zhou knelt on the ground and hugged Cheng Enbo's legs and said, "Mingzhu is our daughter, how can you marry her out of the capital?
Shen Linchuan is Mingzhu's brother-in-law, and we are all family, so I don't think anyone would mind and say anything nonsense."
Cheng Enbo kicked her away and said, "Then go to the capital and ask around to see if there is anyone willing to marry Mingzhu?"
He glared at Zhou fiercely and said, "If you don't want Mingzhu to marry far away, then send her to a nunnery to practice. This way, you can also restore some reputation for the Song family."
After leaving these words, he waved his sleeves and walked out.
Zhou fell to the ground, her face pale.
She didn't rush over until she heard her daughter crying next door.
Song Mingzhu struggled to get off the bed and threw herself into Zhou's arms. She cried, "Mother, I don't want to become a nun, and I don't want to marry far away. Please save my daughter, save my daughter."
Zhou felt heartbroken. Her daughter, whom she had raised and whom she was proud of, should have had the brightest future, but how could she have turned out like this?
It’s Song Shiwei. It must be because of her. She is a disaster star.
It was she who brought bad luck to her pearl and robbed it of her good luck.
A hint of cruelty flashed across Zhou's eyes. She hugged her daughter and said, "Mother will avenge you."
……
Although some unhappy things happened in the mansion, Lord Cheng En wanted to save face and went ahead with the banquet.
Mingzhu was spoiled by her mother and can no longer be relied upon, but fortunately, he still has a daughter, Song Shiwei.
He had disliked this since he was a child. Instead, his daughter, who had been raised in the countryside, became his pride and the hope of the Song family.
Thinking of this, Uncle Cheng En felt a little emotional for a moment.
No one at the banquet mentioned the incident of Song Mingzhu falling into the water. After a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere at the banquet became lively.
Not long after, Zhou arrived late. She changed into luxurious clothes, sat down at the table as if nothing had happened, and happily chatted with the ladies.
Song Shiwei felt that Zhou was really adaptable.
Her daughter is in such a state, yet she is still in the mood to entertain guests. But it’s good that she came.
Because the good show she prepared for Zhou has not yet begun.
I'm sure she will like this gift!
