Chapter 195: Be More Open-minded
Yu Shi also had the same idea as Shen Heng.
She left the banquet early and went to a garden, ordering her servants to look for the woman who had embarrassed her just now, but she didn't find her.
"No one knows who that lady is." The maid was surprised: "I asked around, and no one said they had seen that lady before."
Yu sneered, "It seems Xie Jian is warning me."
The old nanny beside her whispered, "Madam, this brat is just a small-time official of the sixth rank. He only relies on the eunuch Wang behind him. How dare he treat you like this? He is too arrogant."
Yu's face was gloomy.
At this time, a maid came back in a hurry: "Madam, when I was asking about that lady, someone bumped into me, and this appeared in my hand." Then she handed over a letter.
When Yu opened the letter, her face gradually turned pale. She stared at it for a long time without coming back to her senses. The letter mentioned that the death of her real husband was actually related to her own father.
There was another sentence at the end: "If Madam Tang really wants to find out the truth, I believe your father's study has the evidence. Also, it is shameful to steal someone else's husband, so please be careful."
The night is deep.
Chen Heng and Peng Shi left the table early and were now looking at the strange and exotic plants in the garden of the new mansion.
Peng's bad mood came and went quickly.
Just as the two were chatting and laughing, there was a commotion not far away. Someone said, "The daughter of the Ministry of Revenue Doctor Fei fell into the water and was rescued by the Crown Prince's guards. It was a hot day, her clothes were clinging to her body, and she was cuddling with a man. Her reputation is completely ruined."
The daughter of Lord Fei, the Minister of Revenue? Shen Heng was stunned. Wasn't that the woman who had just bumped into the Crown Prince?
"Why did he fall into the water for no reason?" Mrs. Peng was surprised.
The person who was to be chosen as the Crown Prince's concubine fell into the water, was rescued by the guards, and her reputation was completely ruined? Isn't this one of the classic calculations and strategies used in palace fighting? Chen Heng sighed. At the center of power, everyone was working hard for future glory.
Both of them were not interested in this kind of thing. As women, they were always a little scared when seeing this kind of thing, so they simply went outside and waited for others.
What they didn't expect was that Meng Xuanlang and Xie Jian were already waiting in the outer garden.
"All the wine in the Eighth Prince's new mansion today was brought by the Wu Jin family. Didn't you see that his mouth was grinning? Every day he was just staring at those jars of wine. I asked him to go to the Sinong Temple, but he just wouldn't listen. Ouyang and I are full of enthusiasm, but he is so timid." Meng Xuanlang said angrily.
Xie Jian glanced at Meng Xuanlang. A surge of passion? But not him: "Everyone has their own ambitions. There's no need to force them."
"Only when we are friends can we become confidants. Since we are lifelong confidants, we should naturally help them do things that are truly meaningful."
A lifelong confidant? Xie Jian looked at him speechlessly. The phrase "a lifetime" might not be appropriate for them now.
At this time, the servant beside him said: "Sir, my wife and Madam Shen are coming."
Looking at his wife, Meng Xuanlang trotted over and said, "My dear, did you enjoy your meal tonight?"
Mrs. Peng said softly, "How can I not be happy with Ah Heng by my side? I'm just a little tired."
"I knew you were tired, so I dragged Zixuan out early to wait for you here. Sister-in-law, let's go." Meng Xuanlang called to Xie Jian.
Looking at the loving look of Meng Xuanlang supporting his wife Li Xian, this was the first couple Chen Heng had ever seen whose marriage was happily arranged by their parents and matchmaker.
Xie Jian snorted coldly: "It was obviously me who asked him to come out earlier, otherwise, he would still be arguing with others in there now."
Chen Heng: “…”
