After that, Chu Feiyang also strode out of the Prince Chu's Mansion!
"He, he, he, an unfilial descendant!" The King of Chu pointed at Chu Feiyang's back and trembled for a long time, but in the end he just turned his anger into these four light words!
Yun Qianmeng got on the carriage and went straight to the courtyard where Xia Jiji lived. He handed Hu Ge to Yingqiu and left Yingxia behind so that the two of them could develop an antidote. He then rushed back to the Prime Minister's Mansion with Yuandong!
However, just as she walked back to Qiluo Garden through the side door, she saw Aunt Mi hurried over and said anxiously, "Miss, Eunuch Qu from the Empress Dowager's Palace is here. He has been waiting for you in the side room for half a day!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Qianmeng's expression tensed. She immediately led Mi Jiji to the side room. Seeing Eunuch Qu sitting on a stool with a look of anxiety between his eyebrows, she knew that he must have left the palace secretly this time. She immediately stepped forward and bowed to apologize, "Qianmeng is late, please forgive me, Eunuch!"
When Eunuch Qu saw Yun Ganmeng finally arrive, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He then stood up and said with a smile, "Miss, there's no need to be so polite! I've come here today simply to bring you a message from the Empress Dowager!"
Yun Gan dreamed that Eunuch Qu's eyes were full of caution. Seeing that he came alone, he also sent Aunt Mi out to guard him. Then he asked, "I wonder what instructions the Queen Mother has?"
Seeing no one else in the side room, Eunuch Qu still opened the door cautiously. "The Queen Mother sent me to inform the young lady that the princess and her family are no longer acquainted!"
Yun Ganmeng knew what he meant when he heard this, and immediately replied with a smile, "Ganmeng, please don't worry! Please tell the Queen Mother to take care of herself!"
Seeing that Yun Qianmeng didn't look disappointed, Eunuch Qu nodded slightly inwardly and bowed to leave. However, Yun Qianmeng stopped him again and said, "Excuse me, Eunuch, I wonder if Shui'er Bing'er is currently working in the Empress Dowager's palace!"
So much time has passed, but Shui'er and Bing'er still haven't returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, which makes Yun Qianmeng confused. However, due to the lack of information during this period of time, she really can't find out anything!
When Eunuch Qu heard Yun Ganmeng's question, his expression changed slightly, and then he lowered his voice and said, "It's enough for you, young lady, to know this. Shui'er and Bing'er were assassinated by the assassin that day!"
After saying that, Eunuch Qu nodded to Yun Ganmeng, then quickly turned around and left!
Yun Qianmeng was shocked when she heard this. She thought the Queen Mother had other plans for the two of them, but she didn't expect that they had already died!
Suddenly, I remembered what Chu Feiyang said to the Tenth Prince that day. I wonder if it has anything to do with Shui'er and Bing'er!
However, the news that Eunuch Qu brought today was good news for Yun Qianmeng!
At this time, the Fuguo Mansion was being suspected by Emperor Yu Gan, so he would naturally not allow the Qu family to have any connection with the Rong family, nor would he allow anyone related to the Qu family to be honored or favored, lest the Qu family's power become too great and it would be difficult to eradicate it in the future!
Yun Qianmeng didn't want to be anyone's pawn, so she was naturally happy to be able to sever her ties with the palace!
During these ten days, Su Yuan and others found a lot of witnesses and evidence to prove that Qu Changqing stayed at the border for too long and refused to return to Beijing!
However, from the moment Chu Feiyang led the craftsmen into the hall, he suppressed all the doubts, and after a heated debate, he cleared Qu Changqing's reputation of treason within half a day!
On that day, Emperor Yugan ordered Lord Wu to withdraw the imperial guards outside the Fuguo Mansion. He not only restored Qu Changqing's official position, but also rewarded him with a lot of rare antiques and sent them to the Fuguo Mansion!
Just as Qu Changqing's affair had come to an end, Northern Qi launched an attack on the northern border of Western Chu. Without any preparation from Western Chu, they unexpectedly captured five cities in succession. The people of Western Chu were in a panic, worrying that the capital would one day fall into the hands of Northern Qi!
At this time, Emperor Yugan made an unexpected move. He neither sent Chu Feiyang and others with rich combat experience to fight, nor did he let Prince Chen who volunteered to fight. Instead, he specially ordered Prince Hai of the Sea Palace to fight together with Emperor Yugan's fourth brother, Prince Rui!
【85】
The seventh day of the seventh month is the Qixi Festival!
This is the festival that women value most!
Although Northern Qi and Western Chu officially entered a state of war, for ancient women, the arrival of this day attracted their attention more than the chaotic battlefield!
On this day, the weather was clear and sunny, and during the day, vendors and restaurants were bustling with activity! This was because this day was different from other days. In Western Chu, vendors were allowed to set up stalls and sell their wares on the evening of Qixi Festival. And the daughters of wealthy families, usually confined to high-rise buildings, were allowed out by their families to play. It was sure to be a lively night for the Qiqiao Festival!
For a moment, the streets and alleys were bustling with activity. The vendors brought out their best goods and displayed them in front of their stalls. Not to mention the restaurants and teahouses, which were already occupied by young men from various families. Before it got dark, they all stuck their heads out to look at the street, hoping to witness the true appearance of those ladies from famous families and beautiful girls from ordinary families!
In the evening at the Prime Minister's residence, Yun Qianmeng was carefully looking at the recipe brought back by Yingxia. Although he did not understand Chinese medicine, the use of poisons was very common in ancient times. Yun Qianmeng took advantage of the free time in the past few days to ask Mi Jieji to find a few basic books on medicinal materials. He read through them carefully. Although there were still many things he did not understand, he had a certain understanding of the habits and mutual restraints of some commonly used herbs!
Therefore, looking at the prescription for Qu Lingao in her hand, Yun Qianmeng was not at a loss. She would occasionally point out some things she did not understand and ask Yingxia. Yingxia almost always answered her questions. It seemed that she was indeed well versed in medical knowledge, which made Yun Qianmeng feel more at ease!
"Yingxia, in your opinion, how long will it take for Nanny Xia's tongue to recover?" Yun Ganmeng calculated the day when Su Qing was about to give birth in his mind, looking at the fiery sunset outside, and asked lightly!
"Miss, Nanny Xia didn't receive timely medical treatment when she was injured. However, with Sister Yingqiu's careful care these days, she has recovered a lot. The injury to her tongue will hopefully recover to 70% of its previous state. Nanny Xia will speak a little slowly in the future, but this is the best result!" Yingxia is a pragmatic girl. Although she is usually a little naughty and lively, when facing important things, she can show a maturity and stability beyond her age!
Yun Ganmeng turned his head to look at her answering his questions seriously, and suddenly thought of Rong Yunhe. He felt that what kind of master trains what kind of maid. Yingxia and Yuandong usually seem to keep a distance from others, but they are genuinely caring towards the people they care about!
Since that time when they parted in the palace, Rong Yunhe and I have never met again!
And what Eunuch Qu came to report a few days ago was probably what Concubine Rongxian wished for!
After all, the reason why Concubine Rongxian reluctantly agreed to acknowledge herself as her adopted daughter was entirely due to the pressure from the Queen Mother and the King of Chu!
During this period, the incident with Qu Changqing happened. Concubine Rongxian naturally saw Emperor Yugan's worry and took the opportunity to suppress the matter!
However, this is not a good thing for Yun Ganmeng. Being able to stay away from the intrigues in the palace is naturally a happy thing. After all, with one more title, one's own danger will increase. Although Yun Ganmeng knows that the title of princess will make many people in awe, it will also cause countless jealousy. It is better to be the eldest daughter of the prime minister's mansion and have a lot of free time!
As he was speaking, footsteps were heard outside the door. Yun Qianmeng handed the recipe in his hand to Yingxia to keep, and then ordered her to open the door of the inner room. Yun Ruoxue led Yun Yan and Yun Yiyi in without waiting for notification!
"What happened today? Three sisters came to my Qiluo Garden at the same time!" Yun Ganmeng stood up from the window and walked to the table and sat down. His eyes swept over the three people who came in one after another with a smile, and finally fixed on Yun Yan's face!
Yun Yan naturally understood what Yun Qianmeng meant, but her face turned slightly red. She smiled shyly at Yun Qianmeng and lowered her head!
Yun Qianmeng saw her making an expression she had never made before, and saw that Yun Ruoxue and Yun Yiyi were both dressed up carefully. She calculated the days of the day in her mind, and immediately understood, and said with a faint smile, "Sit down!
Then he asked Yingxia to pour tea for the three of them, and he waited for them to speak!
"Sister, why are you still dressed casually? It's getting late and we are all waiting to go out!" Yun Yiyi spoke as soon as she sat down, without even looking at Yun Ruoxue's slightly gloomy expression, as if she regarded herself as the eldest daughter of the prime minister's mansion!
When she said this, Yun Yiyi couldn't help but straighten her flat chest, as if she wanted people to notice her exquisite outfit today, and she felt so proud!
"Yi Yi is so anxious! She is in such a hurry to go out that people who don't know would think she is going to see her lover! But don't forget, we are going out to represent the Prime Minister's Mansion, and we can't show our bad habits from the countryside, so as not to implicate the Prime Minister's Mansion!" Although Yun Ruoxue was also anxious about Yun Yi Yi's anxiety, she still did not forget to mock Shi Fang!
Especially when seeing Yun Yiyi and Yilei showing off, Yun Ruoxue felt extremely contemptuous!
Hearing this, Yun Yiyi's expression darkened, a flash of anger flashing across her eyes before she turned cold and sarcastic. "Second sister is right! However, even if Yiyi is not good enough, she is still Daddy's eldest daughter. Uncle would never marry Yiyi to a bastard! But Second sister is in a terrible situation. She's already a bastard, and now Concubine Su isn't as favored as she used to be. Second sister's life is hanging in the balance. If she marries a bastard in the future, who knows how unpopular the child will be!"
As she spoke, Yun Yiyi opened the scented fan in her hand, and imitated the manner of a noble lady from Kyoto, slightly covering half of her face, and laughed softly. This made Yun Ruoxue glare at her angrily, and she wished she could pounce on Yun Yiyi and tear her arrogant mouth apart!
Yun Qianmeng saw Yun Yiyi's arrogant and domineering look, and the smile on his face faded a little, and then he opened his mouth.
Since everyone is in a hurry to go out, why bother coming to Qiluo Garden? I see it’s so hot today and I really don’t want to go out. Sisters, please go ahead!"
After saying this, Yun Qianmeng gave Yingxia a look, and Yingxia immediately understood and opened the door. "Ladies, please come in!"
Seeing that Yun Qianmeng was unwilling to go out on such an important day, Yun Ruoxue and Yun Yiyi's eyes immediately showed joy, and the smiles on their faces deepened a little!
After all, over the past six months, Yun Qianmeng's name has spread like wildfire among the various families in Kyoto, leaving a deep impression in the hearts of these famous families. She is also favored by the Chu Palace and the Rong Palace. If Yun Qianmeng goes out with them today, she will probably only steal their limelight. Seeing that she actually refused, how could the two of them not be happy? As long as Yun Qianmeng took the initiative to say no, they could explain to Yun Xuanzhi!
"Sister, Daddy ordered you to take the three of us out of the house today! Daddy said that I am calm by nature and not afraid of any trouble!" But at this time Yun Yan spoke gracefully, causing the other two to stare at her, but Yun Yan invited Yun Ganmeng with sincere eyes!
That calm remark was the best protection for Yun Yan! After all, Yun Ruoxue was deeply favored by Yun Xuanzhi, and Yun Yiyi was also very much loved by the old lady. If the two of them started arguing, she would definitely not be able to control the situation. She was afraid that both Yun Xuanzhi and the old lady would blame her. The only way was to ask Yun Qianmeng to go out and play together, which would be an extra layer of protection!
How could Yun Qianmeng not guess Yun Yan's thoughts? However, she felt bored with the two people quarreling in front of her. Just when she was about to refuse, Yun Yiyi spoke first. Yun Yiyi approached Yun Qianmeng with a smile on her face, took her arm affectionately and said coquettishly, "Big sister, come with us!"
"Such a big thing happened recently at the Prince of Fuguo's Mansion. Although my cousin Changqing was finally cleared of all charges, I'm sure my sister is worried a lot! Why not take advantage of today's Qiqiao Festival to go out and relax!"
After she finished speaking, Yun Yiyi looked at Yun Ganmeng with a sincere smile in her eyes. Yun Ruoxue, who heard the hidden meaning in her words, laughed out loud and then joined in, "Yes, sister! Why don't you go out with your sisters to relax? It's really boring to be stuck in Qiluo Garden all day. Besides, the Fuguogong Mansion has now regained the trust of the emperor. I believe those young ladies from wealthy families will not laugh at you!"
Yun Yan didn't expect that her words would cause these two people to ridicule Yun Qianmeng!
Everyone knows that the eldest grandson of the Duke of Fuguo was once suspected of being a traitor and collaborating with the enemy. Although Qu Changqing was later cleared of the charges, this incident made everyone feel slightly alienated from the Duke of Fuguo!
However, Yun Yiyi and Yun Ruoxue would never let Yun Qianmeng go. As long as Yun Qianmeng made the slightest mistake, they would take the opportunity to mock her!
Thinking of this, Yun Yan couldn't help but feel guilty, and looked at Yun Qianmeng with eyes full of apology!
But Yun Qianmeng gave her a faint smile in return, her eyes as black as obsidian sparkling with indescribable wisdom. Seeing Yun Yiyi's enthusiastic invitation, Yun Qianmeng curled her lips into a smile and happily agreed. "Since you two sisters have warmly invited me, I naturally can't refuse. However, if you are so tired that others laugh at you, you two sisters can't blame me! You go wait outside first, I'll change my clothes and come out!"
As soon as Yun Qianmeng finished speaking, Yingxia, regardless of the two people's ugly expressions, immediately asked the three people to leave the inner room. Mu Chun immediately stepped forward and picked out a snow-blue bodice for Yun Qianmeng, a light green gauze undershirt with a white floor-length skirt, and a blue Ruyi silk ribbon tied around the waist. The whole person looked light and elegant, completely different from the formal attire of Yun Yiyi and Yun Ruoxue!
Meanwhile, Mu Chun styled Yun Qianmeng into a Japanese bun, gathering the top of her hair to one side, letting the entire hairstyle flow downward. She then placed a small butterfly-shaped gold hairpin in her hair, adorning it with a few palace flowers of the same color as her dress. That was Yun Qianmeng's complete look for the day!
"Miss, the second and fourth ladies obviously have bad intentions!" Thinking of the malicious grins of Yun Yiyi and Yun Ruoxue just now, Mu Chun became alert, fearing that the two would play tricks again!
Yun Qianmeng smiled at Mu Chun through the bronze mirror, took out a pair of white magnolia-shaped earrings from her makeup box and pinned them behind her ears. Then she stood up and ordered, "Let's go! Don't keep the three of them waiting anxiously!
”
Yun Qianmeng naturally knew what Yun Yiyi and Yun Ruoxue were planning!
If I were to save face and refuse to leave the house today, that would be exactly what they want!
But if I follow them out of the house, I'm afraid they will deliberately embarrass me in front of other young ladies. I have to say, these two are really capable of making trouble. I just don't know if the heavy makeup on their faces will be wasted when they are sweating profusely in the crowded streets!
Yun Yiyi and Yun Ruoxue, who were asked to leave the inner room, glared at each other and refused to look at each other again, so as not to mess up their makeup!
After waiting for half a cup of tea, they saw Yun Qianmeng walking out of the inner room with the support of Mu Chun. When the two saw that Yun Qianmeng was dressed so simply today, their hearts suddenly relaxed. The four of them walked out of the prime minister's residence at the same time, boarded the carriage that had been prepared long ago, and headed towards the market under the protection of Guard Liu!
Although the setting sun illuminated the entire earth like blood, night was falling quickly!
When the carriage entered the market, it could no longer move forward. Guard Liu quietly reported from outside, "Ladies, please get off the carriage. The streets are crowded and the carriage can no longer move forward!"
Upon hearing this, the four people in the carriage saw Yun Yiyi and Yun Ruoxue, who were sitting at the two ends of the carriage, immediately lift up the curtains beside them and look at the bustling night market outside. Their faces were full of impatience. Without even waiting for Yun Qianmeng to speak, they rushed to get out of the carriage with the help of their maids!
Yun Ganmeng slowly got off the carriage with the support of Mu Chun, and felt a wave of heat coming towards him. He didn't know whether it was because of the hot weather today or because the street was crowded. He felt one heat wave after another hitting his face, which made Yun Ganmeng, who was not dressed simply, feel a little dry in his heart. He spread out his hands holding the scented fan, and felt a thin layer of sweat on his palms!
Looking around, Yun Yiyi and Yun Ruoxue were already nimbly moving among the crowds of people. Looking at their appearance, they were not restrained by the heavy clothes at all!
"Guard Ma, leave a few people behind while you take care of the Second Young Master and the Fourth Young Lady!" Yun Gan dreamed that Yun Yiyi and Yun Ruoxue were about to leave his sight, so he ordered, "Remember, keep a close eye on the two young ladies. Don't let anything go wrong!"
Guard Ma understood Yun Ganmeng's hint and immediately left behind a few of his best guards, while he took the others to protect Yun Ruoxue and the others!
"Yan'er, you can choose some accessories you like by yourself. Don't be too restrained!" Yun Ganmeng noticed the surprise and desire in Yun Yan's eyes, and spoke with a smile!
Yun Yan was delighted when she heard Yun Qianmeng say this. She was about to lift her legs, but she saw a huge crowd of people on the long street, with people brushing against each other, making it impossible for Yun Yan to move forward or backward. The body temperature and hot air emitted by the people around her made her sweat profusely, and she retracted her legs for a moment!
But those watery eyes filled with joy were fixed on the long street in front of them. There were small stalls lined up on both sides of the long street. There were many exquisite small objects in front of each stall, and countless colorful lanterns were lit on the stalls, which made the long street colorful and beautiful!
With this kind of dress, not only will the young girls be delighted, but even the ladies will be happy to go out and enjoy it when they see it!
Yun Yan finally couldn't hold it in any longer, she shook her lower lip with her pearly teeth, and rushed into the crowd with the girl behind her!
"Miss, where are we going now?" Yuan Dong, Ying Xia and Mu Chun protected Yun Qianmeng in the middle. Although the three of them also wanted to have a good time, the noble duty of protecting Yun Qianmeng made them suppress their excitement immediately, and they only wanted to protect the young lady!
Since they had already left the Prime Minister's Residence, Yun Ganmeng naturally would not let the three girls just look and not go shopping. However, the flow of people in front of them was really scary. They were afraid that they would be turned into meat patties before they could squeeze in. Looking around, compared with the crowded center of the long street, there were a lot fewer people at the entrance of Tianfulou. So he led the three girls carefully through the layers of people in front of them and walked towards Yaofulou!
However, when they were about to reach Tianfulou, a group of people suddenly rushed towards the four of them, pushing Yun Qianmeng and the others directly to the front of the restaurant next to Tianfulou!
Yun Qianmeng quickly looked up and saw that Mu Chun and the other two were following closely behind her and were not separated by the crowd. Only then did she feel relieved!
'Just as they were talking..., at this moment, a deafening sound of gongs rang out above everyone's heads!
Everyone looked up and saw a middle-aged man who looked like the owner standing on the second floor of the restaurant. The servant next to the man took a gong and knocked it vigorously. Seeing that everyone's attention was focused on the second floor, he stopped at the instruction of the servant!
"Ladies and girls, good evening! Today is the Qiqiao Festival. To celebrate the occasion, our Fuyuan Building is now holding a darts game! As long as someone uses the dart in his hand to hit the prize on the pole, the prize will be yours!" The palm rejector saw so many people gathered downstairs at once, and his face suddenly became excited. He spoke in a high-pitched voice, causing the group of delicate ladies below to frown and feel embarrassed. Yun Qianmeng looked in the direction of the palm rejector's finger, only to see that the people in front of Fuyuan Building had already... There is a bamboo pole that is three meters high. Prizes are placed on the pole starting from the second meter. The prize becomes more valuable with every half meter increase. On the top of the pole is a jade hairpin with exquisite carvings. Even in the dim light at night, you can still see the hairpin emitting a warm luster under the moonlight. Looking up from the bottom, you can actually see the bright moon hanging in the night sky through the jade. It can be seen that this jade hairpin must be of great value, otherwise it would not be placed in the hardest and highest position!
And this height is not the most difficult part. If these prizes were fixed on bamboo poles, some of them might be shot by people. But this shop owner was very cunning and only tied the prizes with a thin red rope. At this time, the night wind was gradually rising, and the red rope was swinging slightly in the air with the breeze. It was really too difficult to hit it, not to mention these young ladies who were not even strong enough to fight a chicken?
"Master, I wonder if men can participate in this darts game?" At this time, a shrill voice sounded in the crowd. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a little maid asking the question on behalf of their mistress!
Yun Qianmeng looked in the direction of the voice, only to find that the person asking the question was Su Qianyue's girl. She felt amused for a moment. It seemed that after several months of hiding her shame, and with her father climbing up the big tree of King Chen, Su Qianyue could finally go out and see people today!
At this time, Su Qianyue was standing in the crowd with an arrogant look on her face. However, her beautiful face and good temperament made not only the men in the restaurant, but even the women in front of her couldn't help but look back at her!
Standing behind her was her brother Su Chengyan. They both had the same outstanding looks, which attracted passers-by to whisper and speculate about whose daughter she was!
"Of course you can! But, one dart requires ten taels of silver!" The shopkeeper didn't expect someone to raise such a question, but looking at the weak and frail appearance of the young ladies below, he knew that they wanted to get those prizes but did not have the ability to do so, so they would not pay for the darts. It would be better to relax the conditions and let those young masters of the aristocratic families who like to be heroes show off, so that he can make enough money!
After all, he had spent a fortune on the prize on the bamboo pole. Just that single jade hairpin had cost him a full two hundred taels of silver! However, if he didn't spend a fortune, how could he possibly attract anyone's attention?
"In that case, I'll give it a try!" Sure enough, Su Qianyue whispered a few words in Su Chengyan's ear, and then Su Chengyan immediately walked to the front. The servant behind him immediately took out ten taels of silver and handed it to the waiter. Su Chengyan picked up a small dart from the tray in the waiter's hand, squinted his eyes and looked at the top of the bamboo pole for a moment, and then he saw him throw the dart with force of his wrist, but the dart didn't even touch the prize at the bottom and fell down, causing the ladies who were watching below to dodge away in fear, for fear of being hit by the dart!
"What a pity!" At this time, Yuan Dong beside Yun Qianmeng said something regretful!
However, Yun Qianmeng just smiled without comment. The bamboo pole was too high and the target was too unstable. Even people with good martial arts skills might not be able to hit it. It was obvious that the store owner had already calculated this and put all the good things on it with confidence!
What's more, charging ten taels of silver for one time is a bit too unfair. I wonder if someone can come out and suppress the arrogance of this shop owner!
"Yuan Dong, don't you know some martial arts? Why don't you give it a try?" Ying Xia Qingyue's voice rang out at this time, and then her little face showed an eager look. If you didn't know, you would think she wanted to give it a try. Yun Qianmeng turned to look at Yuan Dong, and seeing that the three of them were accompanying her today and didn't care about playing, she smiled and said, "Give it a try!"
But Yuan Dong blushed in embarrassment, and then replied softly, "Thank you, Miss! But I still won't try!"
Just after he finished speaking, his eyes, full of desire to try, stared at the bamboo pole again!
Yun Qianmeng lowered her brows and thought carefully, then raised her hand and patted Yuan Dong on the shoulder, saying gently, "I'll give you the money, just go ahead and have some fun!"
As he spoke, Yun Ganmeng gave Mu Chun a look, and Mu Chun immediately stepped forward, took out a ten-liang silver ingot from his purse and put it in the waiter's hand, while Yingxia pushed Yuandong to the front, chose a dart for her, and then stood beside Yuandong with Mu Chun, chattering about which prize to throw for!
Yun Qianmeng saw the three men and Lei's cheerful faces, and a smile spread across his lips. He stood aside and pointed at the ten-liang ingot hanging in the air at the bottom. "We're not greedy, so let's just throw that ingot!"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Dong immediately nodded, and after waving the dart in the air with her right hand for a while, she suddenly threw the dart in her hand... With a bang, the dart accurately hit the Yuan Bao that was swinging in the air. Everyone was stunned. They didn't expect that this delicate and weak little girl had such a good skill that she even surpassed the handsome young man!
"Great! Yuandong actually made the shot!" Mu Chun and Yingxia immediately jumped up happily, and Yuandong finally smiled when he saw that he had lived up to the young lady's expectations!
The shopkeeper on the second floor never expected that a little girl would actually win the ten taels of silver. A look of heartache immediately appeared in his eyes. Seeing that everyone was in a state of surprise, he was not in a hurry to let the servant take the silver down!
Yun Qianmeng saw that he was trying to renege on the debt, so she opened her mouth. "You're refusing, why don't you take the silver down? So many people saw it, you're not going to renege on the debt, are you?"
As soon as Yun Qianmeng said this, the young men in the restaurant also shouted, "Take the silver, take the silver..." The shopkeeper saw that he really couldn't delay the payment, so he could only wave his hand to the waiter with a little anger, asking him to take the silver and give it to Yuan Dong!
"Miss!" Yuan Dong took the silver and held it in front of Yun Qianmeng with both hands!
Yun Qianmeng raised one hand, but only gently closed Yuan Dong's hands, then said cheerfully, "This is what you earned! As for you two, I'll also give you ten taels of silver. If you see anything you like, go buy it!"
The three of them were delighted and immediately bowed to Yun Qianmeng to express their gratitude, but they did not leave her. Instead, they protected Yun Qianmeng even more closely behind them!
"I didn't expect that Miss Yun's maid is so strong and powerful. It seems that the family education in Prime Minister Yun's Mansion is very much in favor of force!" At this time, Su Qianyue and Su Chengyan came over at the same time. Su Qianyue walked over while holding a handkerchief in her hand, staring at Yun Qianmeng with an unfriendly look and smiling softly!
When the people around heard Su Qianyue address Yun Qianmeng, they all looked sideways and whispered to each other. Everyone stared at Yun Qianmeng curiously. They didn't expect that the girl who had just been in the spotlight was actually a maid in Yun Xiang's mansion. She must be Yun Xiang's daughter. However, there were three daughters in Yun Xiang's mansion, and for a moment, everyone couldn't tell which one Yun Qianmeng was!
Seeing Su Qianyue humiliating their young lady in public, Mu Chun and the other two were all furious. Only Yun Ganmeng remained calm. His cold gaze swept from Su Qianyue's face to Su Chengyan, and then he smiled and said, "Miss Su, Master Su, long time no see! Why is Miss Su's personal maid not here today? Oh, I forgot, Miss Su's maid was punished for having an affair with someone! No wonder Miss Su went out with Master Su today. Maybe she was worried that this kind of thing would happen again! What a deep brotherly love! I really envy you!"
Yun Qianmeng's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but it was clear enough for people around to hear. In addition, she deliberately slowed down her speech speed and spoke clearly, so even the onlookers in the surrounding restaurants and teahouses heard what she said completely. In a moment, the situation changed. Su Qianyue and Su Chengyan wanted to take the opportunity to humiliate Yun Qianmeng, but they didn't expect to be ridiculed by the other party instead!
Suddenly, low whispers were heard all around, and Su Qianyue's beautiful face turned red. She looked so beautiful, but the viciousness in her pretty eyes ruined her beauty!
"Yun Qianmeng, what else do you have besides your sharp tongue? You are already a divorced woman whose engagement was broken off by King Chen. How can you have the face to go out and see people!" Su Qianyue was furious. She took a step forward, staring at Yun Qianmeng with her fiery eyes, and growled in a low voice with gritted teeth!
Yun Qianmeng, however, gave her a smile as bright as the stars. Then, she lowered her voice and said coldly, "Lord Su has been so proud lately. It seems Miss Su has also found someone she likes! However, Prince Chen is a shrewd and capable person. How could he publish a young lady who can't even teach her maid the moral principles? Isn't he afraid that from now on, a green cloud will cover the Prince Chen Mansion!"
After she finished speaking, Yun Qianmeng smiled foolishly, but Su Qianyue was so angry that her face turned red. She tightly grasped the silk handkerchief with both hands, and her eyes seemed to want to swallow Yun Qianmeng!
"Yun Qianmeng, you are so cunning, aren't you afraid that you will never get married in this life?" Ever since Yun Qianmeng designed Su Qianyue to fall into the water last time, Su Chengyan has had a strong disgust towards Yun Qianmeng and even the entire Yun Xiang Mansion!
Seeing Yun Qianmeng bullying his sister, he naturally had to speak up to help!
Yun Qianmeng looked at Su Chengyan with puzzled eyes, thinking that it was a waste of his good appearance. He was just a villain who only knew how to attack women's reputation in marriage!
When Mu Chun and the other two saw Yun Qianmeng easily dealing with Su Qianyue, and also saw that Yun Qianmeng was very happy teasing the two people in front of them, the anger on their faces disappeared instantly, and they were all waiting eagerly to see how their young lady would retaliate next!
Yun Qianmeng shrugged playfully, then raised her bright grape-like eyes to look into Su Chengyan's smug gaze and said softly, "Young Master Su, please focus on your marriage! What you did just now was truly disgraceful to a man. You couldn't even match the little girl next to me. What daughter would be willing to marry someone as unmanly as Young Master Su?"
"Yun Qianmeng, you are not allowed to humiliate my brother!" Su Qianyue was furious when she saw Yun Qianmeng mocking Su Chengyan for being incompetent, and yelled at Yun Qianmeng!
Yun Qianmeng's expression changed instantly, from a sly smile to a pitiful one. Her watery eyes were like clouds and mist, and the ripples in her eyes were shimmering. She was frightened by Su Qianyue's roar and stepped back. If it weren't for the maid behind her supporting her, she would have fallen to the ground. For a moment, Yun Qianmeng's image of being aggrieved was deeply rooted in people's hearts. Those young ladies and noble gentlemen saw the Su brothers and sisters bullying Yun Qianmeng and accused them one after another, making the two of them speechless for a while. They all glared at Yun Qianmeng with anger, "Sister, why are you so aggressive! My cousin and cousin just came over to greet you, but you said bad things to them. If father knew about this, how would I explain it to you?" At this time, Yun Ruoxue, who had been watching the show for a long time, walked out from the crowd. She walked towards them with a smile on her face and said those words lightly!
Yun Qianmeng stood up straight, wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and forced a smile. She said a little aggrievedly, "Sister, why do you say that? Your own sister was humiliated, and you are helping outsiders? No wonder, sister and Mr. Su and Miss Su are cousins, so naturally you are closer to her than me, the eldest half-sister!"

"Sister, if you have nothing to do, go somewhere else! There are too many troubles here, don't implicate the Prime Minister's Mansion!" Yun Qianmeng opened the scented fan and half covered her lips, whispering in Yun Ruoxue's ear. Her voice was cold and slightly chilly, with a chilling aura that made Yun Ruoxue's heart tighten. She looked at Yun Qianmeng in disbelief, but found that the other party had already turned away, so she stomped her feet and pulled the unwilling Su Qianyue away!
From the half-open window on the third floor of Fuyuan Building, a pair of eyes filled with sinister ferocity appeared, staring at Yun Qianmeng with a cold smile.
The farce was soon forgotten by people in a new round of dart throwing. Those young masters were already wealthy and did not care about the ten taels of silver. Seeing that there were many beautiful ladies today, they asked the servants beside them to give the silver, intending to show off their skills in front of the beauties!
Unfortunately, most people only know how to drink and have fun on weekdays. Such work that requires skill and strength is really not suitable for them. They go on stage happily, but come down in disgrace, feeling embarrassed in front of all the beauties.
