Chapter 165 Du Ye meets Song Yu
"Miss, Prince Mu is standing at the gate of the courtyard."
Bai Lan left the window and lit the oil lamps in the room one by one. Soon, the entire main house was brightly lit.
A moment later, the door opened and Bai Lan walked out quickly. "Good morning, Prince Mu." Then she stepped aside and made way. "My young lady invites Prince Mu to the main hall to talk."
Mu Jingxing frowned slightly, although the rumors could not be taken as true.
But, even though he is a grown man, he can't go in so blatantly.
What if the other maids get up and see this?
Mu Jingxing didn't move, and replied in a low voice: "If your young lady has anything to say, just pass on a message to me."
Song Yu came out holding an acupuncture bag and bowed to Mu Jingxing, "Prince Mu, please come this way."
Mu Jingxing had excellent eyesight and saw the Buddhist beads on Song Yu's wrist at a glance, and he felt that something was wrong.
Was he called here to be punished?
After hesitating for a moment, he followed Song Yu to the carp pond in the yard and stood ten steps away from Song Yu.
"I wonder why Miss Song came to see me so early?"
Although the light was not very bright at this moment, Song Yu looked at the tall and graceful Mu Jingxing in front of him, and his eyes seemed to have just been washed and could see Mu Jingxing clearly.
"Master Mu, you helped me find the mask the night before last. I have yet to thank you. I bow to express my gratitude."
"Miss Song, there's no need..."
Before Mu Jingxing could stop him, Song Yu bent down most of his body and bowed.
"Miss Song, please get up quickly. It was my fault for not taking good care of you. It's my responsibility to retrieve the mask. I should apologize to you."
Mu Jingxing bowed to Song Yu for some unknown reason.
Bai Lan in the distance widened her eyes.
What's going on?
The two of them exchanged courtesies and bowed to each other!
Bow to each other!
Pooh!
Only by bowing can husband and wife greet each other.
Mu Jingxing stood up, turned around and was about to leave, "If Miss Song is okay, I'll leave first."
"etc."
Song Yu raised his wrist and walked forward. "How did this string of Buddhist beads end up in your hand?"
"I picked it up."
"Are you sure?" Song Yu looked at her suspiciously and took a few steps towards him.
Mu Jingxing subconsciously leaned back, and because he felt guilty he didn't dare to look down at Song Yu.
"I found it. I saw you guys leaving the county gate that day, and when I looked away, I saw this bracelet lying on the ground. I wanted to catch up, but your carriage was going so fast, and I was too weak to catch up."
Mu Jingxing became more confident as he spoke. He lowered his eyes and looked at Song Yu. "I thought I'd return it to you when I have the chance to see you in the future. I haven't had the right opportunity before, so it's a good opportunity to send it to you together with the mask this time."
Song Yu felt that what he said was reasonable and did not seem to be a lie.
Could it be that her memory was wrong, and he didn't just grab her hand and take her away?
She couldn't ask it in front of him, after all, this man was not interested in women.
What if he suspected she had ill intentions towards him once he asked?
You can't even ask why you were peeking at her?
"Thank you, Prince, for returning it. I've worn this bracelet since I was a child. It was blessed by a master through chanting sutras. It can protect me. Now that I've found it, I feel much more at ease."
Mu Jingxing suddenly felt that he had done something wrong.
If he hadn't taken it away, would Miss Song have been injured in the face?
"Miss Song, if you need my help in the future, just look for me and I will be there at your beck and call."
Song Yu was surprised, "Really?"
Mu Jingxing nodded, "You are my savior, I must protect you."
Song Yu smiled knowingly, "You said it, I'll come find you if I have something to do."
Mu Jingxing said: "You saved my life, so feel free to look for me."
"Okay! It's almost dawn, I'm going to give my grandmother an acupuncture treatment."
After Song Yu finished speaking, he quickly walked past Mu Jingxing and left Huiya Pavilion with Bai Lan.
Only then did Mu Jingxing notice something unusual in the yard.
After Mu Jingxing left, the servants who were sleeping soundly slowly woke up.
"Cousin, why don't you get some more sleep?"
"I woke up early today and came here early."
Song Yu was inexplicably happy at the moment, and what he said was very pleasant to Nanny Gui's ears.
"Then my cousin, let Mammy make you some honey water."
"Thank you, Aunt Gui."
Song Yu had just finished removing the needle when Feng Yingying walked in. "Sister Yu, let me take a look."
Feng Yingying carefully looked at the cut on Song Yu's eye socket and found that it was indeed much better than yesterday.
"Sister Yu, I think the wound will be almost healed by the day after tomorrow. Let's go to Huguo Temple the day after tomorrow and return to the city the next day."
"Okay, I'll listen to my aunt. I'm going to go back and take a nap first."
"Then go back and have a good sleep, then come to Ruxi Palace for lunch and meet Madam Du on the way."
"Yes, aunt."
After Song Yu returned to Huiya Pavilion, Bai Lan said, "I remember Miss Qingmeng saying that the third-rank noblewoman of the Du family, Du Zhihuan, is not only the legitimate daughter of the Weiyuan Marquisate, but also the future daughter-in-law of the royal family. She told us not to offend her and to keep our distance. I think Miss Qingmeng doesn't like her, and Old Madam Du is her grandmother. What should we do if Du Zhihuan follows us?"
Song Yu was so sleepy that she climbed onto the bed. "Cousin Meng doesn't like her, so naturally I won't like her either. But people like her can't be offended. When we meet, we still have to put on a show. That's all. Hurry up and close the doors and windows. We won't be able to take a nap if Cousin Yun comes."
"Oh, okay."
Du Ye brought a group of servants and arrived at Fengquan Villa at 9:00 PM.
Mu Jingxing followed the same method and took Du Ye directly to Ruxi Palace in a sedan chair.
As soon as you enter the hall, you can smell a faint sweet aroma of milk.
"Sister Ye, you came at the right time. These cakes are all freshly baked. If you had come a day later, you wouldn't be able to eat such delicious cakes."
Madam Jiang quickly agreed, "My sister Yu knew you were coming, and she was worried you wouldn't have a fresh bite, so she made some extra last night and kept it in ice. It's just been steamed and is still warm. Come and eat it while it's hot."
Du Yeshi's prepared polite words were useless. She sat down, picked up her chopsticks, and said, "Then I must savor it carefully."
There are six exquisite cakes in front of me, especially the peony fruit cake that looks like a real flower, which is very eye-catching.
Madam Du picked it up with chopsticks and took a bite.
Madam Mu, Feng Yingying and others stared at her intently.
Du Ye lowered her eyes and her expression could not be seen. She chewed slowly at first, and then after a while, she chewed quickly.
He finished the whole peony fruit cake in just two breaths.
"Madam Qiao, bring it here quickly."
After a while, Aunt Qiao went out and came back with a food box. She stuffed the remaining two peony fruit cakes and the plate into the food box.
Du Ye looked at the peony fruit cake in front of Madam Mu, and was so frightened that Madam Mu quickly covered it with her hands. "Sister Ye, this is mine. I want to eat it slowly. Don't try to eat it. Sister Yu said that I can only eat three a day."
Madam Jiang couldn't see, but she couldn't help but laugh when she heard the noise, "It seems my sister Yu's cooking skills are very much to Sister Ye's liking."
