Chapter 122 The Lively Polo Match (Part 2)
Hualan looked at the reddened tips of Molan's ears and nodded at Rulan, "Tell me something new!" She also looked like she wanted to join in the fun.
"I'll tell you!" Rulan volunteered and broke free from Molan's hand that was blocking her mouth.
"Some time ago, Madam Wu specially prepared a generous gift to meet mother."
"When did it happen?" Molan and Minglan didn't know about this and asked in doubt.
"Don't interrupt! Listen to me carefully! Do you know why Madam Wu came here?" Seeing the confused eyes of several people, Rulan was proud, "I guess you can't guess. Madam Wu came to express her gratitude. She also asked about Xiaosi's marriage in a roundabout way, but mother evaded the question. After all, mother hasn't asked Xiaosi's opinion yet."
"It's not new that Madam Wu is interested in our fourth sister!" Minglan said dissatisfiedly.
Rulan glanced at Minglan and raised her chin. "Madam Wu didn't just say this. She also said another thing. She said Liang Han had a half-brother. His half-brother's wife had a cousin named Chun Ke, who was brought to the Liang Mansion by his half-sister-in-law to stay temporarily. Madam Wu said that Chun Ke said she was staying temporarily, but she dressed up to look like Liang Han liked and hung around Liang Han every day."
When Rulan said this, everyone looked at Molan. Seeing that Molan didn't change her expression, Rulan continued.
"Every day, someone dressed up like she liked came up to her. After a few days, she attracted Liang Han's attention." In a place where no one could see, Molan tightened her handkerchief.
"Liang Han went to talk to Chun Ke. Chun Ke was originally trying to please Liang Han by following her cousin's advice. She was so gentle and considerate to him. By the time Madam Wu found out about it, Chun Ke almost regarded herself as Liang Han's concubine. Madam Wu was so angry that she arrested Liang Han and asked him what was going on between him and Chun Ke. Guess what Liang Han said?"
"You are the best at keeping people in suspense. Tell me quickly!" Everyone was getting impatient and urged Rulan.
"Liang Han said that he had nothing to do with Chun Ke! He said Chun Ke's figure was very similar to Xiao Si's, and she was always hanging around him, so Liang Han noticed her. She came up to talk to Liang Han, and sometimes Liang Han responded because she looked like Mo Lan. But he found that Chun Ke was a bit clueless and had nothing to say to him. She was not even one-tenth as good as Mo Lan, so Liang Han didn't want to pay any attention to her. But he didn't restrict her from entering his yard, so the misunderstanding occurred. Now Liang Han has ordered that no idle people are allowed to enter his yard. Madam Wu said she came to thank Xiao Si, but in fact she came to test the waters of our house. I'm afraid Liang Han can't wait any longer."
Hualan and Minglan breathed a sigh of relief knowing that Liang Han was still stable. Molan loosened her hand that was tightly holding the handkerchief, thinking of the face that always loved to come to her side, and thinking of the day when she was framed, he stood by her side without hesitation and believed in her unconditionally. Molan was moved for a moment. However, Liang Han was a playboy and the son of the Earl's Mansion, which made Molan dare not face his feelings.
Seeing that Molan was distracted, Minglan remembered what her mother said, "Your fourth sister is famous for her talent, so she is aloof and arrogant. If those young men from noble families who pursue her are after her reputation as a talented woman, your fourth sister will definitely not like them. The one with the surname Wen before also looked like a gentleman, but he was a wretched person inside. Your fourth sister has always had her own ideas since she was a child, and she also looked down on those unlearned people. As for Liang Han, alas... too pitiful." "You are so kind to your fourth sister. Let's see how sincere he is to her. After all, your father has many students now, and he will watch carefully for your fourth sister."
Minglan held Molan's hand, and Molan looked over. Minglan approached her and said to Ruolan, "Our fourth sister is so good, not just anyone can marry her."
With the subtle warm actions of several sisters, Molan also recovered her good mood, and the place became lively again.
"I see mother has returned to her own place, let's go there to accompany mother." Hualan looked far away and saw Wang Ruofu returned to the Sheng family's place, and called her sisters to go over.
Several sisters returned to Wang Ruofu's side, accompanied her to play games, and made Wang Ruofu happy.
Qi Heng had been searching for Minglan since he arrived at the polo field. When he saw the sisters of the Sheng family talking together, he did not disturb them. Seeing that they all went to Wang Ruofu's place, Qi Heng quickly said something to Princess Pingning and walked towards the Sheng family's stand. Princess
Pingning saw that Qi Heng was devoted to Minglan and wanted to say something, but then she remembered what Duke Qi had said to her, that he hoped Qi Heng could marry a woman of his choice and live in harmony with her. In the end, she did not interfere.
Several people from the Sheng family saw Qi Heng walking towards them from a distance, attracting the girls on the stands of each family to look in this direction. Rulan wanted to tease Minglan, but she felt the gazes from all around her, so she held back for Minglan's sake.
Qi Heng approached and bowed to Wang Ruofu, who said yes repeatedly. Qi Heng greeted Hualan and the others one by one. When it was Minglan's turn, Qi Heng looked at her with a smile on his face. After everyone greeted each other, Qi Heng sat for a while on the stand of Sheng's house before leaving.
The Lord of Jiacheng County was sitting on the stand of Prince Yong's mansion. His eyes followed Qi Heng's movements. He felt a little unhappy when he saw that Qi Heng took the initiative to go to the Sheng's house to greet them but did not come to his own house. He also felt a little unhappy. He also saw that he was talking happily with the daughter of the Sheng family, which made him even more angry. He even hated Molan, Rulan and Minglan.
The Lord of Jiacheng County was still unhappy that Qi Heng was too close to other girls when a sound came from next door.
"Miss, since you like the young master, please ask His Majesty to ask for an order to grant you a marriage. Why do you care so much about the young master?"
The Lord of Jiacheng County turned around and pointed at the girl next to the maid who was talking, and asked in a cold tone, "Whose family is that?"
The maid glanced and replied, "It's the Rong family, the mother's family of Concubine Rong."
The Lord of Jiacheng County snorted disdainfully, "So it's that family of mud legs, who did I think it was?" You dare to covet my future son-in-law!
The Lord of Jiacheng County stared at the girl of the Rong family, his eyes full of viciousness, but the girl of the Rong family, who was immersed in shame, didn't notice anything.
At this time, someone scored a goal on the field, and the sound of bronze bells rang out. The winner had been decided, and the next game would be Minglan and her friends.
"Madam, it's my turn next. I'll go to the backcourt to get ready." Wang Ruofu smiled and waved her hand, letting her go.
"Xiao Liu, you must play well. I'm here to watch you kill everyone today!"
Several sisters cheered for Minglan, and Minglan smiled and went to meet with her teammates.
