Guiningyuan became busy early in the morning.
A few days ago, Liu Ruyan and Song Yanran both sent invitations to visit Murong Shu, and even Princess Zhenshan sent an invitation to Song Wei.
Liu Ruyan and Song Yanran were very angry when they heard that Murong Shu was molested by the former prince of Dingwang in the street. The two girls wanted to come for a long time, but Murong Shu had something to do in the past two days, so they made an appointment today.
When Xiao Tao heard that Miss Liu and Miss Song were coming to visit her young lady, she made arrangements at Guiningyuan early. She was also afraid that her young lady would have some psychological trauma, and it was just right that Miss Liu and Miss Song came to keep her company.
"Miss, I have already arranged for the small kitchen to start making the snacks that Miss Liu and Miss Song like, so that they can eat them when they arrive. What do you want to eat today, I will have someone make it."
"I'm not picky about your lady. Anything is fine with her. But you must remember to make drinks for me. It's so hot, I can't do without ice water." Murong Shu lay comfortably on the recliner and didn't want to get up.
"Don't worry, Miss. I'll remember it!" Xiao Tao fanned her young lady. Murong Shu was afraid of heat, so she hated summer a little.
"Xiao Tao is really becoming more and more capable, but I can't bear to see her work so hard. Go back and ask mother to ask for a few more maids to help you share some of the work."
"Miss, you think it's noisy with too many people, right? Now we are enough with just a few people, no need to add any more!" Xiao Tao knew that her young lady liked quietness, and usually many things were done by her young lady. Serving her young lady was the easiest job, so how could it be tiring?
"Anyway, just don't let our Xiao Tao get too tired. If she's too busy, she can go ask her mother for help!" Seeing Xiao Tao's refusal, Murong Shu followed her. In modern times, she was alone, so she was not used to having so many people around her.
"Miss, you stayed up late to make medicine again last night, right? You should take a rest first. I'll go see if Miss Liu and Miss Song have arrived!"
Xiao Tao handed the round fan to her young lady and walked out in a hurry. Murong Shu smiled helplessly. This maid of hers was extremely energetic, efficient, and loyal to her.
Murong Shu lay comfortably on the recliner. This peaceful and quiet life made her extremely satisfied.
The first to arrive was the Liu family's carriage.
Since getting engaged, Liu Ruyan has been asked by Madam Liu to embroider wedding dresses and learn accounting. She hasn't been out for a long time and was feeling bored in the mansion, so she rushed here early in the morning.
Together with her mother, she went to visit her future mother-in-law, Song Wei. Song Wei and Mingshu were close friends, and now the two families are even closer, so she was particularly kind to Liu Ruyan.
"Yan'er, you don't have to stay here with me and your mother. Go to Guiningyuan to play with Shu'er!" Song Wei was afraid that Liu Ruyan would be bored, so she asked her to go find Murong Shu.
"Thank you, Aunt Song. Mother, you can have a private chat with Aunt Song here. I'm going to find Shu'er." Liu Ruyan was very happy when she heard that she could go find Murong Shu.
"Look at you, you're so grown up, but you're still like a child." Ming Shu said a little helplessly.
"She's just a child. Don't restrict her. I'm not that wicked mother-in-law. As long as she and Shu'er are happy, I'll be so happy. Don't worry!" Song Wei knew that Mingshu was worried about her daughter, so she joked with Mingshu.
"Wei'er, I am of course confident in you, but Sishu is the eldest son, I am just worried that Ruyan will..." Mingshu did not say the rest, but Song Wei and Mingshu both understood.
"Don't worry, Shu'er. I will teach Ruyan these things when she marries me. Children's happiness is more important than anything else." Song Wei understood Mingshu's concerns.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Wei'er, in the future!" Mingshu held Song Wei's hand with gratitude in her eyes.
"With our relationship, I'm going to be angry if you say this!"
"Listen to Wei'er!"
Liu Ruyan was unaware of Song Wei and Ming Shu's considerations. She was completely satisfied with Murong Shu. Murong Shu had given her a lot of delicious pastries before, and she liked them very much. She must ask Shu'er's small kitchen to make some more today.
Murong Shu heard her voice before she entered Guiningyuan.
"Shu'er, I'm here to see you. Am I the first one to arrive? Is Yanran here?" It's not that Liu Ruyan is confident, but Song Yanran likes to sleep in, so she won't come so early.
"Sister Ruyan is of course first. Sister Yanran hasn't arrived yet. Come in quickly. I asked the kitchen to make your favorite pastries." Murong Shu personally went to the door to welcome Liu Ruyan in.
"Wow, Shu'er and I are in sync. In order to eat Shu'er's pastries, I didn't even eat more for breakfast." Liu Ruyan became even happier when she heard that there were delicious pastries.
While the two of them were drinking a cup of tea, Song Yanran and Mingyue Junzhu also came over.
After the greetings, the girls stayed in Murong Shu's Guiningyuan to chat.
"Princess Mingyue, I heard that you beat up the former prince of Dingwang that day. Princess, you are so brave. Women are just as good as men." Song Yanran was really envious. She also wanted to learn kung fu, but unfortunately her father wanted her to be a lady.
"This is all thanks to Second Master Mu. I've heard that Second Master Mu is a man of both civil and military talents, but I didn't expect his martial arts skills to be so powerful." Princess Mingyue has been full of praise for Mousse's kung fu since she teamed up with him last time.
"You are all very capable. I heard that Third Master Wen went to the emperor's morning court in person and knelt down to file a complaint against Prince Ding. I didn't expect Third Master Wen to be so tough." Liu Ruyan listened to her father, Minister Liu, describing the entire process in detail, and she admired Wen Jing very much.
"Don't you think Third Young Master Wen is weird?" Jun Mingyue was puzzled. No matter how she thought about it these past few days, it seemed weird.
"What's so strange?" Liu Ruyan and Rong Yanran asked curiously.
"How could someone as extraordinary as Third Master Wen go to the palace to file a complaint just because of a single sentence? That's not like Third Master Wen's style. Besides, isn't it rumored that he's in poor health and doesn't go out often?"
Jun Mingyue's words made Liu Ruyan and Song Yanran fall into deep thought. Then an idea flashed in their minds, and they suddenly remembered the melon they had eaten that night in Huishan Temple. They both looked up at Murong Shu at the same time.
"Why are you looking at Shu'er? She just returned to Beijing and doesn't know the third young master Wen." Mingyue was a little puzzled when she saw Liu Ruyan and Song Yanran looking at Murong Shu together.
"Princess Mingyue, do you think it is possible that someone is willing to risk his life for the beauty he loves?" Liu Ruyan joked with a smile.
Jun Mingyue was stunned when she heard this, then she understood what Liu Ruyan meant, a gossipy light flashed in her eyes, and then she approached Murong Shu and gossiped, "Shu'er, is it as Ruyan said?"
"Sister Mingyue, why don't you go ask the Third Master Wen?" Murong Shu drank his tea calmly.
"Forget it. I dare not offend the Third Young Master Wen, otherwise he will complain to the Queen and Aunt, and my mother will definitely confine me. I can't afford to offend him." Jun Mingyue felt that Wen Jing only looked weak, but he was definitely not someone to be trifled with.
Princess Mingyue's words made everyone laugh.
