"And they came to our Lu Mansion the day after they returned to the city. Zilu used the excuse of having the children study together for the Tongsheng exam to come every day at noon, and even brought Zihe with him. It would be strange if Madam Su didn't get suspicious!"
Lu Yuan was stunned when he heard this. "If it weren't for Zilu having Yunqian, I would have suspected that they were father and son."
Si Chuyu raised an eyebrow, "Is it possible that Madam Su also had such suspicions?"
Lu Yuan said, "Of course! But think about it, this is impossible. Meng Zilu's ears don't look like Wen Ge'er's, and he hasn't lost a child. Madam Su sent someone to follow him, so it seems that Wen Ge'er's family is someone Meng Zilu knows... Since the Song family is very likely Wen Ge'er's family, what is Xiaoyu going to do next?"
"I'm going to the Meng Mansion..."
When Meng Wei got the news, she immediately arranged for someone to send a letter to the Song Mansion.
"Madam Wu, please arrange for the stables to clean up and have the horses tame to ensure there are no accidents the next day. Also, please prepare more lunch in the kitchen. I heard from Chu Yu that An Ge'er is a big eater."
Madam Wu said, "I understand. I will go and arrange for the appointment right away."
Meng Gaoyu entered the room and asked, "Sister-in-law, will Madam Su come over the day after tomorrow?"
Mrs. Meng Wei smiled and said, "Of course they will come. Chu Yu and his wife will also come. Oh, by the way, have you made any progress on the matter arranged by Madam Su?"
Meng Gaoyu nodded, "Mrs. Su will come over tomorrow and I will report the progress to her."
"Oh, by the way, when will Luo and Ye be hanged? Will it be before or after the results are announced?"
"The third day after the results were announced."
Meng Wei thought for a moment and said, "Place someone to keep an eye on the prison. Be careful that the Cui family might not come openly but do something sneaky. I don't think Cui Zhehan would have watched Luo Shi being tortured that day."
Meng Gaoyu thought that the Cui family was in big trouble on the day the results were announced, so could they wait until the third day after the announcement?
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will keep an eye on it."
The second day.
"Brother, do you really need to? Look how happy you are."
Meng Zihe saw that Meng Zilu had been looking at the invitation for nearly half an hour, and he had never closed it even when they were about to arrive at Lu's house.
Meng Zilu said, "Tomorrow you must stop my father-in-law from doing anything rude, or he will scare the child."
Meng Zihe understood, "Don't worry, if uncle tries to take off Wen Ge'er's mask, I will stop him."
"Dad, Second Uncle, my grandfather would never do such a rude thing. He would most likely reach out and pinch Fourth Brother's ear, so I might as well touch it."
Meng Yunqian actually hoped that his grandfather could not help but take off Su Ningwen's mask.
He can see Su Ningwen’s true face!
When the four brothers and sisters saw the invitation sent by the Meng family, inviting them to go horseback riding in the Meng Mansion, Su Ning'an was so happy that he somersaulted several times on the spot.
"Uncle Zihe, do we not have to study and learn to read tomorrow?" Su Ningjie asked.
Except for Su Ningwen, the other four children present stared at Meng Zihe, afraid that he would say something wrong.
Meng Zihe understood them very well and said slowly, "Let's have a good time in the Meng Mansion tomorrow, but..."
A trace of fear flashed in the children's eyes when they heard this, and it was definitely not a good thing.
Meng Zihe raised an eyebrow at this. "But we can't fall behind in our studies. After lunch today, we have to study the book we are supposed to read tomorrow. That way, we can have fun tomorrow. What do you think?"
"Very good!" Su Ningwen answered for them.
The other four little ones...
Nothing to say!
Ever since meeting Lu Yao that day, Meng Zihe has never seen Lu Yao again since he came to the Lu Mansion...
When I teach my children to read, I keep an eye out for activity on the stairwell.
Sometimes I look out the window to see if I see a familiar figure in the yard.
Oops!
Lu Yao was nowhere to be seen this afternoon.
Before lunch, Meng Zihe pulled Su Ningjie aside and said, "This invitation invites you to go to the Meng Mansion together. Will your elder sister and your brother-in-law go?"
"My eldest sister is heavy, so it might not be convenient for her to go."
Meng Zihe said: "Your elder sister may go, after all, she needs to exercise her body properly."
Su Ningjie thought about it and said, "Perhaps it's possible. After all, I've been to Shili Langyao before."
"It's more fun when there are more people riding horses or watching people riding horses. Your grandfather and his family will come over, right?"
Su Ningjie shook his head. "My grandfather is old and needs to rest. My third aunt and uncle are taking care of him and may not go to the Meng Mansion. As for my second sister..."
Meng Zihe's heart tightened, fearing that she would not go. "I think your second sister has never ridden a horse, so you can let her go and broaden her horizons."
His second sister really needs to broaden her horizons.
"My second sister is now studying with a female teacher every day, learning women's work, playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so she may not have time."
It turns out that the second girl has been learning these things these days, no wonder I can't see her.
"I think your second sister is just like you guys. She really wants to go out and play for a day. After all, learning is very demanding and hard work."
"My second sister can't be tired. I have to go over and tell her to take a day off tomorrow."
After saying this, Su Ningjie turned around and went to Lu Yao's yard.
Meng Zihe looked at the little figure going away, and the corners of his lips unconsciously pursed.
The second girl will definitely like the snow-white horse in the stable!
"Going to the Meng Mansion to ride horses?"
"right!"
Lu Yao shook her head: "I don't know how to ride a horse, so I'd rather not go to the Meng Mansion. You guys can have fun at the Meng Mansion tomorrow."
"Second sister." Su Ningjie glanced at the guqin in front of her, walked over, picked up her fingers, and looked at her fingertips carefully.
"You've injured your hand, why don't you relax and take a day off?"
Lu Yao said, "It's okay. You've got calluses on your index and middle fingers from practicing calligraphy. I still have a lot to learn."
Lu Yao wanted to make up for what she had learned in those six years in a short period of time.
"It's just right that you can go horseback riding. Horseback riding is one of the six arts. My mother knows how to ride a horse, so she can teach you."
Lu Yao opened her beautiful eyes slightly, "Your mother can ride a horse?"
Su Ningjie nodded. "The last time I went to the Meng family, my mother carried my younger sister on the horse. She changed into a red riding suit, which looked very beautiful. You, second sister, will look great in a riding suit too!"
Lu Yao became interested after hearing this, "Okay, I'll go with you tomorrow."
"Nuanyu, have someone prepare the carriage. Madam Su and I will go to the clothing store and pick out some suitable riding clothes."
Lu Yao stood up and said, "Let's go, Jie brother, go find your mother."
When Xiao Lingyu saw Lu Yao coming, he quickly packed up and took Lu Yao to the clothing store to choose clothes suitable for riding.
Meng Zihe returned to Lu Mansion and went to the stable first, leading the snow-white horse out for a trot.
He also arranged for servants to clean it and feed it high-quality horse food.
"Yuxue, you must not cause any trouble tomorrow."
