During the meal.
When Yu saw Mo sitting at the top, she immediately frowned:
"Why didn't sister-in-law wait for us and came back on her own?"
Didn't she go somewhere else just now? Was she in a hurry to come back?
Yu was confused and looked around, trying to find something wrong.
The others also laughed and said, "Could it be that the Duke's wife replaced the wine with water when she came back, fearing that we would make her pass out drunk?"
"Oh! That's possible! No, I have to check it out!"
As they were talking, a few people who were on good terms with Mrs. Mo came up to her and smelled the wine jar in front of her in a serious manner.
Mrs. Mo was helpless. "It's just that you were too slow, so I came back and asked the servants to heat up the wine for you. I was afraid you would really get drunk, but I didn't expect you to misunderstand me like this! Forget it, forget it, my kindness is not in vain. Biyu, tell the maids to come back, there's no need to heat up the wine!"
"No, no, no! Dear sister, we know we are wrong! It's so cold, if we drink uncooked wine, we won't be able to bear it."
Mrs. Mo chuckled, "It's not me who can't drink anyway, what should I be afraid of?"
"Good sister, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time! As long as you forgive me, I will punish you in any way you want!"
"You said it!" Madam Mo's eyes lit up. "When I really need your help, don't refuse."
Xia glared at him, "So my sister is waiting for me here! Fine, fine, I won't refuse! How dare I refuse my sister's business?"
Xia was the eldest lady of the Weiyuan Marquis family. She grew up with Mo and they were close friends.
It's just that the Weiyuan Marquis family has been in a period of transition in the past two years. After the old Weiyuan Marquis passed away, none of his descendants were capable, causing such a large marquisate to fall into silence.
Normally, they would not be invited to other people’s banquets.
Of course, if it wasn't for the invitation from Mrs. Mo, she wouldn't have come to the party.
The Marquis' Mansion has almost faded out of the aristocratic circle now, and when she goes out to attend banquets, she is always bound to be criticized by others.
She can't stand that grievance!
However, it was thanks to her that she covered for Mrs. Mo that no joke was made.
Mrs. Mo held her hand and said seriously, "We have an agreement! No one is allowed to regret it!"
Xia sighed softly, "No regrets! No regrets! Sister, you can only bully me! When the day comes when I can't move, let's see who else you can bully!"
Everyone laughed: "We have to clean you up first!"
Mrs. Mo is close to Mrs. Xia, so in front of her, everyone will naturally praise Mrs. Xia more.
The banquet here became lively again.
In the outer courtyard, Duke Qing apologized and left the table when his son came over.
Bring my son to the outer study.
When his son invited Doctor Jiang into the inner courtyard, the person sent by Mrs. Mo to report also arrived.
After hearing about the girl's identity, Duke Qingguo Shenyang's face turned grim: "Shenyi, go and find out the details."
The sound of wind drifted quietly in the dark.
Shen Yunxi looked at his father.
Shen Yang also looked at his son: "You are sure you didn't touch that girl, right?"
"Son is sure." Shen Yunxi nodded, "Son just can't hold his liquor well. The fragrance has no effect on him."
After all, he is a sickly person, and many medicines are no longer effective on him.
What's more, the person who drugged the incense was probably too confident, and the incense only burned for a short while before it went out.
Thinking of this, Shen Yunxi couldn't help coughing a few times.
Chen Yang believed his son. "We still need to find out who did it and what their purpose is. However, tonight, you must go to the palace with your father."
Shen Yunxi was always smart. After a brief thought, he understood the reason and nodded: "Yes."
"Well, after all this trouble, you should go back and rest. I will give you an explanation on this matter. However, you must also be mentally prepared."
Shen Yunxi lowered his eyes slightly: "My son knows."
Although this matter did not become a big deal, it was still detrimental to the girl's reputation.
This kiss must happen!
However, he didn't have any resistance in his heart.
He knew his own physical condition well, and he had been refusing to get married over the years because he didn't want to burden others.
But now, nothing is up to him.
If this marriage fails, the girl's future destination will be either a nunnery or a piece of white silk.
In comparison, "being a widow" has become the best option.
However, before he died, he would do his best to arrange everything for her. This could be regarded as the last thing that he, the dying "husband", did for her!
Xin Guoguo didn't know that someone had already started to call herself "husband".
She slept until noon the next day.
When she woke up, she was already in the general's mansion.
Last night, after the Shen family father and son entered the palace, Mrs. Mo quietly sent someone to send her back.
She woke up at this moment, all because she was woken up by the servants.
"Miss, wake up! Eunuch Quan is already waiting up ahead!"
Bai Tao's face was full of anxiety. Looking at the young lady slowly getting up from the bed, she wished she could just grab her and drag her down.
Xin Guoguo uttered "Oh" in a daze. In fact, she didn't hear what the little girl said at all. She just lay down and planned to continue sleeping.
Baitao:......
"Bai Tao, what's going on? Why haven't you brought the lady yet..."
The door was pushed open and a little maid in green walked in.
When Bai Tao saw this person, she ran over as if she had seen a savior and took the basin from the person's hand.
"Sister Qingning, let me carry the basin!"
