When the ladies of the Luo family came to Mu Shizi's residence, they never saw their eldest brother.
Yao Erlang said: "Prince Mu and Mr. Luo Dalang went out to visit friends together. It will take some time before they return. However, before leaving, Crown Prince Mu gave instructions to receive the ladies well."
Yao Erlang's attitude was very respectful.
Luo Sanniang and others had never received such treatment before when they went to other people's homes. He was immediately flattered and did not examine the weirdness in detail, but sat down and had tea calmly.
Mu Shizi! A title sounds like a lot more than a judge.
Although Yanzhou is a bit far away, it is much more comfortable to just make chicken heads there and dominate Yanzhou City than in the capital.
Luo Sanniang took a glance at her sister - but Luo Sanniang seemed a little absent-minded.
Ever since she found out that Mrs. Ding was gone, the fourth sister was in despair. But just in case, she lost a strong opponent.
As for Wu Niang and Liu Niang, although they will compete with themselves for things at home, when they go to unfamiliar places, they still have to rely on themselves.
Although she was born from the same mother, Luo Sanniang did not consider brotherhood at all.
It turns out that brotherhood is nothing when everyone is benefiting.
Yao Erlang and Zhu Sanlang brought snacks specially bought from Fan Lou, as well as expensive seasonal fruits from the south.
The corners of Luo Sanniang's lips almost cracked to her ears. have a look! Which powerful family values them so much? She thought her eldest brother had been imprisoned, but she didn't expect that Liao Ping was in trouble instead, and her eldest brother became Mu Shizi's guest.
The Luo family's good luck is about to come.
Luo Sanniang took out the handkerchief and pressed it against the corner of her mouth to prevent it from curling up too much.
She has to pay attention to her words and deeds at all times so that the Mu family can leave a good impression on her.
But it was a pity that Mu Shizi and his eldest brother had not returned for a long time. Seeing that they had almost eaten the pastries, it was not the same thing to sit down shamelessly.
Yao Erlang came in again to refill the hot water, and his attitude was still respectful: "Little ladies, if you want to eat anything else, just send me to buy it."
Luo Sanniang couldn't help but ask: "Mu...when will my eldest brother come back?"
Yao Erlang smiled and said: "It should be soon. Miss Luo Sanniang is in a hurry to go home..."
"No rush, no rush."
However, after sitting for a long time and eating too much tea, Luo Sanniang became a little anxious.
If she were at someone else's house, she would definitely ask Luo Siniang to go with her.
But this time, like a ghost, she asked Yao Erlang for the location of his hut and went there alone.
After coming out of the hut, she was not in a hurry to go back, but walked slowly back along the elegant scenery.
She is already seventeen, not young, and her marriage is imminent. Her parents were anxious, and so was she, fearing that her marriage would be treated as a deal just like her eldest sister and her second sister.
Ever since she was sensible, she knew that she had no control over her own marriage. Even though they all crawled out of her mother's womb, her sisters' lives all revolved around their father and eldest brother.
It's a pity that the father was wrong the first two times and his two daughters had to pay for it. His future is still uncertain.
It was a blessing in disguise. When it came to her marriage to Siniang, her father became more cautious. Because of this, her marriage has not yet been decided.
It must be a blessing given to her by heaven!
Luo Sanniang blushed and looked carefully at the elegant courtyard.
In fact, the courtyard is not big, nor is it very good, nor is it comparable to the eldest princess's mansion. But at this moment, Luo Sanniang seemed to regard herself as the future crown prince's prince. The more she looked at the courtyard, the more she felt that Prince Mu had elegant taste.
It is said that Prince Mu is an only son with no other sisters, and his mother is far away in Jiangzhou. If he comes to Yanzhou in the future, he will only have a father-in-law named Marquis. I also heard that Mu Ting did not have to go into battle to kill the enemy, while his father-in-law was busy with official duties.
From then on, Prince Mu can accompany him to eat, drink and have fun every day, and he doesn't have to serve his parents-in-law.
These days, Luo Sanniang became more and more beautiful as she thought about it, wishing she could marry Prince Mu tomorrow.
Unknowingly, she entered a strange place.
Luo Sanniang is not in a hurry. It would be good if she gets lost, so that she can stay here longer.
She was admiring it to herself, and suddenly she heard low voices coming from the room next to her.
She swore she didn't mean it, but she couldn't resist her curiosity and quietly got closer.
"...The young master wanted to make some meritorious deeds so that he could earn some face for the Marquis, but who could have imagined that the case turned out to be stuck on the cause of Lady Ding's death..."
"Yes, if the young master can find out the true cause of Mrs. Ding's death and promote the progress of the case, the Marquis will definitely praise the young master."
"Hey, but I have already said that Mrs. Ding did indeed die of a heart attack. How can we find out? Then Liao Pingshi suspected that it was the eldest son of the Luo family, but the eldest son of the Luo family was an upright gentleman. , how will it harm Mrs. Ding?"
"Yes, the young master and Mr. Luo Dalang had a candle-lit night talk. They hit it off and they had a great time talking. They hated meeting each other so late. They even accompanied Mr. Luo Dalang to Liao's house to ask for an explanation from Liao Pingshi."
"Did the young master actually go to the Liao family?"
"Stop talking about it, what's the point of talking about it? The cause of Mrs. Ding's death is already certain, so it's useless to talk about it. The young master can't make any merit this time."
"Eh..." There was a long sigh inside, as if he was extremely sad.
"Hey, don't sigh. Let's talk about the young master's marriage. This young lady in the capital is extraordinary. She knows everything and is polite and generous."
"She is... the little lady of Jiji Restaurant..."
"..."
What did you say next? Why did his voice drop so low at the critical moment? Luo Sanniang was so anxious that she almost leaned on the window and eavesdropped.
But the people in the room seemed to have left, and there was no other sound.
Luo Sanniang had no choice but to leave angrily.
Not long after Luo Sanniang left, Chen Ze appeared in the courtyard with a hint of anger on his face: "Who gave the young master this bad idea?"
It was not cold, so Counselor Zhu put his hands in his wide sleeves: "I think this is a good idea."
"Isn't it a good idea to invite a bunch of young ladies to come to the house and talk about family affairs?" Chen Ze was very disdainful.
"Then what can we do? Ever since you came up with the idea to drive Mrs. Qin away, the young master has never asked us again." Counselor Zhu said.
"It's for his own good to drive Mrs. Qin away..." Chen Ze's face was solemn, "Those who want to achieve great things shouldn't be obsessed with women, and they shouldn't be soft-spoken."
"Perhaps the young master just thinks that Mrs. Qin is useful? Like a sharp blade. After all, we are in the capital, not in Yanzhou, which is so familiar that you can walk away with your eyes closed. He wanted to cooperate with Nangong Wenyue before, and the same is true ." Counselor Zhu said slowly, "I think the young master has made rapid progress during this trip."
Chen Ze looked at him suddenly. After a while, he smiled slowly: "I have always felt that Brother Zhu Xian is the kind of old and cunning person."
"Concession, concession." Counselor Zhu also smiled.
Luo Sanniang returned to the flower hall with an indescribable mood. Luo Luniang had already yawned a little boredly.
Luo Siniang said: "Third sister, since Prince Mu and eldest brother haven't come back yet, let's go home first. It's always wrong to stay here without the master."
Luo Sanniang was about to disagree, but an idea suddenly flashed in her mind.
"Okay." She pretended to agree, and after saying goodbye with her sisters, as soon as the carriage left the "yard", she got out of the carriage on the pretext that she had something to do.
