Chapter 607: Going into the Mountains to Find Someone

"Well, Miss Wei is not having an easy time right now. If Yu Chongen really loved her, he has waited for five years. Why wait a little longer for Miss Wei to come out? Why bother poking her in the lungs at this time?" Zhu Yaoxu shook his head, and then he remembered something else. He looked at Xingxing with interest, "My Lord, I heard that you also saved the old lady of Duke Xin. Do you really understand that?"

Everyone looked over with great interest.

The girls in the class are naturally very curious about these mysterious things.

Xing Xing nodded and gestured with her hand: "I understand a little bit."

"Wow!"

The noble ladies looked at Xing Xing with a bit of awe in their eyes.

They wanted to ask about their marriage, but were too embarrassed to express such concerns in public, so they could only ask Xingxing some simple questions about her fortune.

Xingxing probably just said a few words.

Everyone pulled Xingxing and she seemed to be unsatisfied.

Zhu Yaoxu rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "I wonder if the county lord has helped my brothers find a marriage partner?"

The ladies' eyes suddenly lit up.

I feel embarrassed to ask Xingxing about my own marriage, but if it is about other people's marriage, I would naturally feel comfortable asking!

Xing Xing shook her head and said with a smile, "Fortune doesn't always remain the same. For example, some people do bad things that are intolerable to heaven, and their originally good fortune of both happiness and longevity will change because of the impact of this bad thing; some people originally have a hard life, but if they do good deeds and accumulate virtue, their hard fortune will also change for the better."

The noble ladies all showed a thoughtful look, and decided in their hearts that they would do more good deeds in the future, such as going outside the city to distribute porridge in winter!

After the banquet, the noble ladies warmly invited Xingxing to visit their homes after she returned to Beijing, and they even had a small argument about this.

"I was the one who invited Xiangjun first!"

"It's obviously me!"

Everyone left with a lot of noise and laughter.

Zhu Yaoxu, who was the last one to come, quietly asked Xingxing, "...Xiangjun, has your third brother really not gotten married yet?"

Xing Xing tasted something, she thought for a moment and replied, "Miss Zhu, although my third brother hasn't proposed marriage yet, he already has someone in his heart and is working hard. He may come to propose marriage in a few days."

Zhu Yaoxu was speechless: "Whose lady is she?"

Xing Xing shook her head: "It's just that my third brother is still trying hard at the moment. For the sake of the girl's reputation, I can't say it out loud. I hope Miss Zhu will forgive me."

Zhu Yaoxu nodded dejectedly: "Is that so? It should be, it should be."

Zhu Yaoxu left in disappointment.

Xingxing looked at Zhu Yaoxu's back with drooping shoulders, and didn't know how to comfort her.

Princess Qing'an stepped forward and whispered, "...Yao Xu seems to be interested in your third brother."

Xing Xing pursed her lips, sighed, but didn't reply.

Princess Qing'an felt that she was in a very conflicted situation. On the one hand, she was a little jealous, but on the other hand, she also knew that Zhu Yaoxu was a kind girl. If the person Zhu Yaoxu liked was someone else, she would definitely feel sorry for Zhu Yaoxu when such a thing happened. But at the moment, the person Zhu Yaoxu liked was the one she liked...

Princess Qing'an couldn't go against her conscience and comfort Zhu Yaoxu. She felt that if she did so, she would be somewhat hypocritical.

My mood is still somewhat tangled.

Xing Xing comforted her, "This kind of thing should be based on mutual consent. Princess, you don't owe anyone anything."

Princess Qing'an looked at the pretty little girl Xingxing, and felt inexplicably funny and cute when she was talking to her seriously about "this kind of thing" and "it's mutual consent".

Princess Qing'an burst out laughing.

Xingxing also said goodbye to Princess Qing'an with a smile and returned to the Yu family's manor in the mountains.

What Xingxing didn't expect was that in the evening, Yu Yongliu rode his horse from the capital to the Yu family's farm in the mountains.

The first thing I did after arriving at the manor was to go straight to Xingxing's house.

Yu Yongliu brought some snacks from the south of the city to Xingxing. Seeing Xingxing's happy expression when she took the snacks, he curled the corners of his mouth.

Xing Xing was very understanding. She winked at Yu Yongliu and said, "Third brother, you rushed to the mountain in such a hurry. Are you going to ask me about the cousin in Prince Ying's mansion today?"

Yu Yongliu looked at his sister's impish appearance and laughed a little, but he also admitted his thoughts openly: "Yes."

Xing Xing chuckled and didn't keep the secret. She briefly told Yu Yongliu what happened today regarding the young master.

Only then did Yu Yongliu feel relieved.

The whole person looked obviously more relaxed.

As the brother and sister were talking, a little maid from the outer courtyard went out with the steward to do some work. When they passed by a wild pond, they saw lotus flowers in full bloom and farmers working nearby. So they asked the maid to help them pick a few lotus flowers and brought them to Xingxing as a gift.

Xingxing was very happy and asked Zhaoying to give a handful of copper coins to the maid in the outer courtyard.

Zhaoying went over to help the little maid straighten her skirt: "Be more careful next time when you go to pick lotus flowers. The skirt is now stained with mud."

The little maid shook her head and said, "It's not that I was careless. When I came back, I saw a group of people riding into the mountains. Their horses ran very fast. Fortunately, I dodged. Otherwise, it would not be just this spot that was splashed, but the whole body would be splashed."

Xing Xing exclaimed "Ah" and looked at the sky outside in surprise.

The sun is getting a little dark now.

"Going into the mountains at this time?"

The maid in the outer courtyard nodded and said, "Behind that group of people, there were a dozen guards holding torches, asking the old farmers about something. I heard that the two young ladies went into the mountains in the afternoon and haven't come back yet. They are going into the mountains to look for someone... It seems that one of them is the Princess Qing'an who invited the young ladies to her house for a gathering today."

Yu Yongliu's expression suddenly changed: "What did you say?!"

Xing Xing also lost her voice and asked, "Princess Qing'an?"

The little maidservant in the outer courtyard trembled with fear and was at a loss for a while. She saw that Yu Yongliu's face was the ugliest she had ever seen and her master Xingxing's expression was also very solemn. The little maidservant was so frightened that her face turned pale and she immediately wanted to kneel down and admit her mistake.

Zhaoying pulled her aside and said, "Don't kneel down in a hurry. Tell the master everything you know."

The little maid in the outer courtyard trembled and was about to cry: "But, Sister Zhaoying, I only heard one or two sentences, and I don't know the rest."

Xing Xing frowned and said, "Don't be afraid...Okay, you can go down first."

The little maid went down anxiously.

Yu Yongliu was about to go out, but Xingxing grabbed his arm and said, "Third brother, I'm going too. Let's ride together to the manor of Prince Ying's mansion to ask about the situation."

Yu Yongliu was very confused at the moment, but he did not refuse Xingxing. He nodded, asked the servants to harness the horses, and went to the farm of Prince Ying's mansion with Xingxing, each riding a horse.
