Moreover, she never personally delivered these things, and she only went to Jing'an Garden to pay her respects every five days. And she had never been heard of going to the outer courtyard to find a reason to see Song Chengze.
Why would she go to see Wu? Li and Wu usually had no intersection, but Xiaolin always confronted Wu, like fighting cocks.
"Just keep an eye on them. One of them is powerful because he's quiet, and the other is powerful because he's self-centered. Who knows which one is real and which one is pretending?" Meng Qi said.
"Yuandong hasn't come back yet?" Meng Qi watched Wang Chenghai go out and turned back to ask Yuanyue.
Yuan Yue said, "Not yet."
It was unknown what Meng Wan had prepared. Song Chengze had laid out a plan against Prince Duan in Chengtian Palace. And she was also laying out a plan for Meng Wan against the third daughter of Prince Shen's mansion in Kunning Palace.
If this plan succeeded, it would give Meng Wan another bargaining chip to gain a foothold in the Prince of Shen's Mansion sooner. Thinking about Fanghua's excitement when he told her about making Zhou Yingning look bad, after he told her the plan, Fanghua nodded and said that everything was up to her.
Not knowing what Fanghua would do, Meng Qi was worried, so she asked Yuandong to go to Prince Shen's Mansion early, intending to tell Meng Wan something. If anything really happened, she might as well go find Fanghua.
At this time, Xiaoman announced that Wu had arrived.
Meng Qi was stunned. Today was not the day to pay respects. Since winter came, or to be more precise, since Meng Qi took away their power, the Wu family rarely came to Jing'an Garden.
Seeing Wu coming in alone, Meng Qi asked, "Where's the eldest lady?"
"I went to the eldest young master's yard. Miss Baochun has been cutting paper-cuts for them every day recently. The eldest young lady is very interested in it."
Meng Qi raised his eyebrows. This Baochun knew how to attract people. He really couldn't stay here any longer. It would be better to think of a way to kill two birds with one stone.
As Wu spoke, her eyes kept glancing at Meng Qi. Seeing Yuan Yue pouring tea for Meng Qi, she quickly asked, "Is this tea strong? The princess doesn't like strong tea at this time."
Meng Qi was stunned, but didn't pay much attention to it. After a while, she heard Wu say, "Is your princess not reacting now? I was vomiting so much back then that I couldn't eat anything with a strong flavor. I wonder if your princess likes Jiangnan snacks. I know there's a place in Beijing that specializes in Jiangnan snacks, and they're very authentic."
Meng Qi put down the teacup and asked, "Have you heard anything?"
Wu covered her mouth and laughed, "I know that the princess is cautious. The child has just been born, so it is naturally not appropriate to tell outsiders. Therefore, I came here empty-handed today. When the good news comes, I will congratulate the princess."
Meng Qi went to see Yuan Yue, and Yuan Yue shook her head. Meng Qi understood, and after a little thought, she neither corrected nor admitted it.
After Wu left, Meng Qi told Yuan Yue, "Go and find out where this letter came from."
Yuandong had just stepped into the gate of Jing'an Garden, and Yuanyue was on her way out.
"You're back, what took you so long?" Yuanyue asked.
"I talked to Chuan'er for a few more words. What are you doing?" Yuandong put the hood of Yuanyue's cloak on her.
Yuan Yue leaned over and whispered something, "When did this happen? How did such news get out?"
Yuan Yue shook her head. "I don't know when it happened. The princess asked me to investigate. I went to look for Xiao Shunzi. He's the best at things like this."
"Go quickly." Yuan Dong wrapped himself in his cloak and hurried into the upper room.
