Everyone subconsciously looked at Mrs. Li. After all, it was Li who said that she wanted to find Princess An in the first place. Later, it was Li who was so sure about the words of the two servants of the Duke's Palace. Therefore, everyone naturally felt that Mrs. Li Maybe he knows something.
Seeing everyone's eyes turning towards her, how could Mr. Li not understand what everyone's eyes meant? I was so angry that I almost tore the veil in my hand!
Although everyone didn't say it clearly, they obviously felt that today's matter had something to do with her. Just when Ms. Li felt particularly embarrassed and anxiously thinking about how to clean herself, a servant suddenly came in a hurry.
The boy stopped in front of a certain young master, and without deliberately lowering his voice, reported loudly: "Sir, Mr. Zhang has returned to the banquet safe and sound. He said that he just lost his way in the garden, please and The young masters are worried and say that they are invited to go back and continue to have wine."
As soon as these words came out, everyone heard that Mr. Zhang was fine. They first heaved a sigh of relief, and then glanced at Li and Lei Manhe with strange expressions. However, they were too embarrassed to be too obvious and quickly turned around. Opened sight.
After all, the person who had been insisting that Mr. Zhang was with Princess An was a servant of Duke Fengguo's mansion, and it was Li and Lei Manhe who firmly believed in this. Now the truth is that Mr. Zhang is not at all He was not with Princess An, but returned to the banquet. In this case, the behavior of Li and Lei Manhe just now was really suspicious.
But all these small actions of the crowd caught the eyes of Li and Lemanhe. Li felt that her face was burning and extremely embarrassing, while Lemanhe's expression became even colder.
Remanhe, who grew up in love and admiration, rarely suffered such aggrievedness. When Prince An was around, she could barely endure it, but now that Prince An was gone, she didn't want to stay at all.
And she had to report this matter to the elders in her family. Of course, it was impossible for her to tell her about her liking for Wu Zechen and her secret instructions to the servants. If the elders asked, she would only It was said that those servants were bewitched and bribed by Mr. Li.
So after Lei Manhe noticed everyone's gazes, he immediately snorted coldly, turned away with his personal maid, and didn't care what the guests at the banquet thought, nor did he care about the identity of his master.
In her opinion, she is the head of the county, so why should she care about the feelings of these people? Shouldn't they be the ones catering to themselves?
Looking at Lei Manhe walking away, everyone present looked at each other in silence. Although they were dissatisfied, it was hard to say anything because there were so many people talking, otherwise it would be bad if word spread. After all, where is the identity and family background of Ruirong County Lord? Set.
What's more, most people are aware of the cold and arrogant temperament of Ruirong County Lord, especially those who often go to banquets together, so they can get over it if they tolerate it.
At the same time, just as everyone was listening to the boy report back to Young Master Zhang, Xia Luotong, who had just walked not far away, suddenly slapped his head and stopped.
Wu Zechen on the side looked at her movements in amusement, and couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong? You stopped suddenly, but you forgot something?"
"I just forgot something!" Xia Luotong nodded helplessly, "Do you still remember what you told me? That's what will happen at today's banquet. The show is about to begin. , how can we leave at this time?"
As soon as Xia Luotong mentioned it, Wu Zechen immediately understood what she was talking about. Knowing that she had been thinking about it, he gave up the idea of leaving. He turned to Shen Geng and ordered: "Take these two people with you first." Go back and interrogate, Lian Ye stays."
Shen Geng took the order and left. Wu Zechen was about to ask something, but he paused as if he suddenly noticed something and swallowed back the unspoken words.
Xia Luotong was wondering when he heard the sound of rapid footsteps at the end of the path. He followed the sound and soon saw a maid walking towards this direction.
Xia Luotong narrowed his eyes slightly and saw clearly the appearance of the person coming in the faint moonlight. He looked slightly familiar. After a moment of recall, he remembered, wasn't she He Jingyao's maid?
At this time, the maid who met He Jingyao here looked anxious and in a hurry. Xia Luotong immediately showed a hidden smile on her face and stopped the maid with a voice.
"Stop, whose maid are you? Why are you so anxious?" Xia Luotong asked, pretending not to know.
The maid was stopped and quickly stopped to make a distinction. When she saw the appearance of the person who made the call clearly, she quickly replied respectfully: "Greetings to Princess An. In reply to Princess An, this servant is Miss He's maid. , according to the order of the young lady, there is something urgent to report to Prince Lei and the Crown Princess of the Duke's Mansion."
Xia Luotong pretended not to know, and asked with curiosity on his face: "You, a maid brought by Miss He, have something urgent to do to see Prince Lei and the Crown Princess?"
The maid knew Xia Luotong, and she originally thought of replying to Xia Luotong and leaving quickly, but as she rolled her eyes, she suddenly remembered something.
Immediately afterwards, she left without being in a hurry, and immediately said: "Reply to the princess, something happened to Miss Xu. My lady didn't know how to deal with it, so I asked the slave to go and invite the princess."
The maid mentioned it deliberately. How could Xia Luotong not see it? She followed the maid's words and said, "Miss Xu? Is this Xu Caidi from the household minister?"
"That's right, it's Miss Xu. Something happened to her!" Seeing that Xia Luotong had taken the bait, the maid quickly emphasized.
Sure enough, the maid saw Xia Luotong showing a "curious" look, and asked herself: "What happened to her?"
The maid was overjoyed, but she pretended to be ashamed and said coyly, "It's hard to say, but it's quite serious. Princess, I have to go to invite the Crown Princess. If you are willing to help, you might as well keep moving forward." .”
The maid pointed in the direction of her coming, and was about to bow and leave, but was stopped again by Xia Luotong.
"There were many ladies and ladies nearby just now. Why don't you go find them and explain the situation to them first, and then ask them to go with me first? There are more people and more help. Then you can continue to look for the prince. That’s my concubine." As Xia Luotong said this, he turned around and walked back, leading the way.
The maid only hesitated for a moment before following him. After all, her and her young lady's purpose was to attract more people, so the situation was just right at the moment.
