Three days have passed.
Mo Qian came out of the Buddhist hall and handed over a Buddhist scripture.
Afterwards, they returned to Yanfei Garden.
After a night's rest, I felt much better.
Then, I heard the gossip that Greenie had found out.
"Miss, the eldest young lady really made a splash at the Vice Minister's residence this time, quite the show of bravado!" Green Pearl said from the side, a hint of surprise on her face.
"What happened? What did my older sister do?" Mo Qian poured herself a cup of tea and asked calmly, her voice unhurried.
"Miss, you don't know, at the banquet that day, the eldest young lady actually made a name for herself by writing a poem, which was praised by everyone at the banquet."
"Now the reputation of this young lady as a talented woman is spreading throughout the capital," Green Pearl added, a hint of surprise on her face and a touch of astonishment in her voice.
I really didn't expect that the young lady would have this talent; I had never discovered it before.
After all, when it comes to academic pursuits, apart from the Fourth Miss who usually enjoys reading, the other young ladies have no interest in such things!
"Yes, I understand." Mo Qian replied calmly after hearing Lü Zhu's voice. There was not a trace of surprise in her voice.
After all, the female protagonist has the experience of her previous life, so it's very easy for her to know a few poems that haven't been published yet!
“Miss, I heard that at the flower banquet at the Vice Minister’s mansion, many young men from prominent families praised you highly and admired your charm!” Green Pearl added immediately.
"If Miss goes too, she'll definitely outshine everyone!" Greenie said indignantly, her face still showing a hint of anger.
"After all, Miss, you are several times more beautiful than the eldest young lady."
"Alright, banquets are often places where trouble happens. It might be a good thing if we don't go," Mo Qian said, looking at Lü Zhu's indignant expression. Her face was relaxed, and her voice was calm.
“Yes, Miss, speaking of which, something did happen at the Vice Minister’s residence,” Green Pearl suddenly said.
"What happened?" Mo Qian asked after hearing Lü Zhu's words, her face showing a hint of curiosity.
"Miss, let me tell you, at the residence of the Vice Minister, the eldest daughter of the Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices accidentally fell into the water and was rescued by the third young master of the Marquis of Zhongqin's family."
"I love you," Greenie said with a gossipy look on her face, her interest evident. Her voice barely rose a few octaves.
"What happened? How could the eldest daughter of the Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices have fallen into the water?" Mo Qian asked hurriedly after hearing Lü Zhu's words, her face showing a hint of surprise.
"I heard that while enjoying the view from the waterside pavilion, someone accidentally stepped on a pebble and fell off the bank."
"It just so happened that the third young master of the Marquis of Zhongqin's family came over, and after seeing the eldest daughter of the Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices fall into the water, he immediately jumped in to save her!"
"When she was rescued, the eldest daughter of the Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices was soaked through and clinging to her body. Now, because of this incident, it's all over the news."
"I reckon it won't be long before we hear about their happy news," Green Pearl continued, a hint of wistfulness on her face and a touch of emotion in her voice.
“Miss, you’re right. It’s indeed better to attend fewer banquets. I was short-sighted before,” Greenie sighed afterward.
"Hmm, the appearance of the third young master of the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion is quite coincidental." After hearing Lüzhu's words, Mo Qian's face showed a thoughtful expression, and her voice revealed a hint of seriousness.
From the original owner's memories, it is learned that the eldest daughter of the Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices in the previous life was the sweetheart of the top scholar whom the original owner married!
The beautiful concubines that the top scholar in his previous life took in were more or less similar to the legitimate daughter of the Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices!
Mo Qian pondered this for a moment, wondering if the female lead might be involved!
After all, the third young master of the Zhongqin Marquis's family is really not a good husband candidate!
"Yes, it is quite a coincidence. After all, the male guests were drinking and composing poems in the outer pavilion, but no one expected that the young master of the Marquis of Zhongqin's mansion would run into the inner courtyard."
After hearing Mo Qian's words, Lü Zhu continued, her face still showing a hint of doubt. Her voice also carried a sense of ambiguity.
"Miss, let's not talk about this now. The old lady will be back soon," Green Pearl said solemnly, her voice earnest.
"Yes, I understand." After hearing what Lü Zhu said, Mo Qian thought of the dark room in the Buddhist hall, a glint of light flashed in her eyes, and then she answered calmly.
Three days later
Upon receiving news that the old lady of the Earl's Mansion was returning to the manor today, everyone in the manor sprang into action, tidied themselves up, and waited outside the gate.
Not long after
A richly decorated carriage slowly approached from a distance.
Finally, they stopped at the gate of the mansion.
Upon seeing this, everyone straightened their posture and prepared to welcome the old lady of the Earl's Mansion.
A maidservant emerged from the carriage first, followed by the old lady of the Earl's mansion.
Afterwards, he was helped down from the carriage by servants.
After the old lady of the Earl's Mansion appeared, everyone bowed in greeting.
The Earl at the front also stepped forward to help the old lady up.
"Mother, you must be tired from your journey. Please come in and rest." The Earl said to the old lady, his face showing concern and his voice revealing the joy of seeing her return.
"Yes, my son is very concerned." The old lady of the Marquis's mansion said to the Marquis, with a smile on her face and a gentle tone in her voice.
"You may all get up as well," the old lady said to the crowd gathered at the gate after finishing her conversation with the Earl.
After the old lady finished speaking, everyone slowly stood up, their faces showing a virtuous demeanor.
Mo Qian took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to secretly sized up the old lady of the Earl's Mansion who was capable of switching the prince.
On his kind and gentle face, his eyes were exceptionally deep.
Afterwards, the old lady of the Earl's Mansion entered the mansion accompanied by the Earl, and everyone else followed behind.
Afterwards, everyone followed to the courtyard where the old lady of the Earl's Mansion lived, Songshou Hall.
"On the eve of Mother's return, I instructed the servants to tidy up Songshou Hall so that Mother could see if there was anything missing and I could ask them to provide it."
The Earl's wife spoke to the Earl's old lady beside her, a smile on her face and her voice revealing her filial piety.
"Yes, very good, thank you for your trouble."
The old lady of the Earl's Mansion walked into Songshou Hall, looked at the flowers blooming in the courtyard and the ornaments within sight after entering the house, and affirmed to the lady of the Earl's Mansion.
There was a hint of satisfaction in his voice.
Afterwards, the old lady of the Earl's Mansion took her seat in the main seat, and everyone else followed suit.
After taking her seat, the old lady of the Earl's Mansion glanced at everyone.
"Mother, will we be able to see Master Bukong at Nanshan Temple?" the Earl asked hurriedly after the old lady of the Earl's mansion sat down, his voice filled with curiosity.
"Yes, I had the honor of meeting Master Bukong before he went on his travels," the old lady of the Bo family said.
A deep, unfathomable glint flashed in his eyes!
