Chapter 396

Something happened to the young master Xu Muhua enjoyed it very much, and she didn't want her to knead it for too long, so she turned around and hugged Pei Shaorong, "Good Ah Rong, you've worked hard! Let me see if your fingers are all swollen."

After saying that, she really held her hand and looked at it carefully, which made Pei Shaorong laugh and cry.

She pulled back her hand and patted her hand lightly, smiling and saying, "Do you think I'm tofu? I just kneaded it for a short while, not to mention swelling, I don't even feel sore!"

Her grandmother didn't like her, but she liked to torture her. She often asked her to stand behind her to knead her shoulders and temples, and she would stand for half an hour.

She stood behind the old lady and kneaded her shoulders like a maid, but Pei Zhen sat in front of her, drinking tea, eating snacks, and chatting with her. It was as if Pei Zhen was the darling eldest daughter of the Pei family, and she, Pei Shaorong, was a lowly thing.

Didn't she learn this skill from the old lady?

But it was also thanks to her that she was able to master this skill, so that she could please the Empress when she entered the palace, and make the Empress like her even more and pity her.

If the old lady knew, she would be so angry!

Pei Shaorong was in a good mood and thought that if there was a suitable opportunity in the future, she really wouldn't mind letting the old lady know this.

She said so, but Xu Muhua still held her hand, blew on it as if loving a child, and said, "It's okay, it's all right after I blew on it!"

Pei Shaorong was amused by her and laughed, "Why are you so childish!"

"Okay, you dare to say I'm childish!"

Xu Muhua pretended to be angry, and splashed water all over Pei Shaorong's face with a move of her hand!

Pei Shaorong was caught off guard and was splashed. After reacting, she quickly turned her head and stretched out her hand to block it. Seeing that she still didn't let her go, she had to start resisting.

The two of them were originally soaking in the hot spring, but now they were playing a water fight.

The laughter spread to the next door, making Song Baotong look envious.

"It seems that the eldest cousin is more fun, why don't we go with her?"

Song Baotong asked, and at the same time she was a little eager to go.

The second aunt glared at her, "You are everywhere, your mother is here, why do you always pester your eldest cousin?"

Mu Hua was with the future crown princess, maybe they had something private to say. If Baotong went over, what would people say?

Hey, this kid, didn't she always write letters to complain about how fierce the eldest cousin was, like a tigress? She was very disgusted, why is she so clingy now?

The old lady was old, and she got up after soaking for a while and asked the servants to take her back to the house. Xu's mother came over and stayed with the second aunt, Song Baotong, and Xu Jinyu.

She listened to the conversation between the mother and daughter, happily, and didn't interrupt.

Her children are all very well-behaved, not as lively as Baotong. Baotong is really annoying sometimes, but sometimes she feels that having a child like her at home makes things more lively.

Of course, Xu Nan couldn't be left behind this time. He came a day later, but it didn't stop him from being happy.

It's good that he can come, otherwise everyone would go out of town to play, and he would be the only one left in the city, and he would have to work hard to go to school every day. How miserable! At

this moment, he could faintly hear the sound of him playing with Song Yicong on the other side!

"I also want to have more contact with the Crown Princess!"

Song Baotong said.

The second aunt complained mercilessly, "Forget it, I'm worried that your temper will offend the Crown Princess! In the end, it will also implicate your eldest cousin!"

Song Baotong was angry, "Mom! Are you still my mother? Why do you dislike me so much now?"

"Tell me what you have done that I don't dislike?"

Oh, it's true!

Song Baotong was proud and said proudly, "I found my aunt!"

The second aunt choked and really couldn't refute it!

But soon the second aunt found a way to refute it, "How can it be your credit? This is clearly Muhua's credit!"

Now it was Song Baotong's turn to choke.

In the end, she couldn't say anything to her mother, so she slapped the water with her hands in anger and amused herself.

Over there, Xu Muhua and Pei Shaorong were talking to each other in a whisper after playing.

Xu Muhua told Pei Shaorong about Zhao Chengye's appointment. Seeing that Pei Shaorong was not surprised at all, she guessed it after thinking about it and asked, "You knew it a long time ago?"

"Yes, when you met him, you were seen by one of Pei Zhen's maids. The funny thing is that she ran to me as soon as she knew about it, wanting to see me laugh."

Pei Shaorong sneered.

Xu Muhua was stunned for a moment, "I was so careful, but I didn't expect that someone would see it."

And it was seen by the person who should not have seen it, tsk!

Pei Shaorong teased, "You are not doing anything shameful, why are you hiding it? Are you afraid that I will misunderstand you?"

"That's not the case. I just don't want to cause unnecessary trouble. You know, with our relationship, there are so many people waiting to see us laugh and want to see us become enemies. If the news of my private meeting with the prince gets out, there will definitely be a lot of unpleasant words."

It is true that she doesn't care, but if such words really get out, it will be annoying enough.

Pei Shaorong also sighed, "Everyone in the world is like this."

There are few people who help others in times of need, and many who kick others when they are down.

"But I'm afraid that such things will happen a lot in the future."

After all, they are all going to enter the East Palace.

Xu Muhua didn't take it seriously, "I'll make them understand in the future."

Pei Shaorong opened her mouth and was about to say something, when Wu'er led someone in, looking anxious.

"Miss, it's bad, something happened!"

Pei Shaorong was shocked to see Xiaoqing, and when she heard her words, she stood up from the pool all of a sudden, her feet slipped, and she almost fell! Fortunately, Xu Muhua supported her in time.

"What happened?"

Pei Shaorong asked while anxiously wanting to get ashore, holding Xu Muhua's hand to steady herself.

Xiaoqing was about to cry, "It's the young master... Something happened to the young master! Madam has already rushed back, and she asked me to find the young lady..."

Pei Shaorong's face turned pale, and her body swayed. She subconsciously held Xu Muhua's hand tightly, and her voice was harsh, "What happened to my brother?"

Xiaoqing shook her head, "The servants in the mansion only said that the young master was injured, and the injury was not light. They also said, they also said that the injury was to the head..."

"Huaiyuan..."

Xu Muhua hurriedly supported her, "Don't worry, let's pack up now and have someone send you back to the city. I believe that my brother Huaiyuan is a blessed man and will be fine. You are the elder sister and the eldest daughter. Now that something has happened, you must stay calm, otherwise your aunt will be more worried."

Hearing her steady voice, Pei Shaorong's heart settled down, but her voice still couldn't hide her panic and fear, "Muhua, I won't talk to you for now, I'm going to go back to the city now!"

"Go change your clothes, I'll have someone prepare a carriage, you can take the carriage of the Duke's Mansion first. Let the servants pack up and arrange the rest."
