"Yes, it is said that they met in the garden. The third lady mentioned that she was dizzy. My cousin said that she had a prescription that could cure the disease. She went to the third house to deliver the prescription."
Song Qian frowned, "I said I was going to deliver prescriptions, but who knows if there is anything fishy about it. And Jia Mengjun, who has only been here a few days, is very good at winning people's hearts, and Guo also came into contact with her. , could he also be probing her?"
Ting Lan came up with an idea and said, "How about we also take the initiative to contact this cousin?"
"Okay, in a few days for my grandma's birthday, I can invite her to go to the Song family with me, so that she can see the prosperity of this capital. Don't keep your eyes on the Wei family!"
Song Qian obviously regarded Jia Mengjun as a village girl, but she didn't expect that when she took the post to invite the other party, the other party refused.
"After all, I am a widow and not from Beijing. I don't know anyone well after I came here for a few days. If no one is willing to make friends with me when I go, it will inevitably be embarrassing for you and me. I don't think I should go. Besides, there must be something to do at the birthday banquet. Many noble people will be unhappy if someone is taboo about this."
Song Qian didn't expect that she would say this. The reason was so good that if she tried to persuade her, it might be unreasonable.
She thought for a moment and said, "My cousin, you don't have to be so outspoken. But if you don't want to go, I won't force you. There are still a few days left. If you find it boring to stay in the house and change your mind, just come to me."
Mei'er sent Song Qian out, and when she came back, she asked her girl doubtfully: "Girl, it's a good thing to go out and meet people. Why did you refuse?"
Mei'er has been with Jia Mengjun for many years, so she naturally knows her girl's temperament. Her master likes to be lively, and she likes it very much herself.
Jia Mengjun glanced at her and said, "Aunt Song is from such a good family background. She saw me as a cousin. She obviously regards herself as the second lady. She must be on guard against me and test me before she takes me there." How can I escape the Song family's birthday party? What if she arranges some dirty tricks to destroy me, how can I escape?"
Mei'er said: "Miss, you are too worried. After all, you are the old lady's niece. She is a concubine. Even if she is really the second lady in the future, it will be in the future. Now you can't please the old lady everywhere, how dare you do so? ?」
Jia Mengjun rubbed his eyebrows and said, "That being said, you should be careful and subtle."
Mei'er has been following Jia Mengjun for many years. Like a master, like a servant, he is usually very active in mind. He also advised: "I said that girls should not miss such a good opportunity. If you can win the favor of any nobleman, What else do you have to worry about about the girl’s marriage?”
"Little Hoof, I still don't know what you are thinking. I'm afraid you have been thinking about Hua Hui Liu Hui for a long time. I tell you, don't cause trouble for me, girl, or I won't let you go. In the future, you will just be free. I’ll give you the dowry, and that’s in the palm of my hand. And don’t you have the right to choose it?”
Jia Mengjun raised his eyebrows and said rudely with a sideways glance.
Mei'er's face turned pale, she lowered her eyelashes and said aggrievedly: "What the girl said, Mei'er is also doing it for the girl's own good. I hope she can find a good uncle."
Jia Mengjun didn't have any intention to worry about it today. He just said: "Okay, okay, I know what you mean. But let's leave it like this for now!"
Thinking about what Mrs. Guo told her, Song Qian was so focused on righting the situation that he might have noticed that she was in love with her cousin and had already regarded her as a thorn in his side. How could he have good intentions when he invited her to the Song family?
At this moment, she has not yet established herself in the Wei family, so she cannot be careless.
She said to Mei'er: "I won't go out these days. If anyone asks, just say I'm a newbie here and I'm not used to the local environment."
"Yes." Mei'er's face showed surprise, but she didn't say anything more.
Here, Song Qian returned to Qianyun Pavilion with a sullen face and sat down angrily, "Jia Mengjun actually refused in one fell swoop."
Tinglan said: "That day Qingyan said that my cousin and the third lady had said a few harmless words in the garden, and when they went to give the third lady a prescription for a headache in the afternoon, my cousin didn't take Qingyan with her. I only brought my personal maid Mei'er with me. Could it be that Qingyan showed her weakness and made her suspicious of my aunt?"
Song Qian snorted coldly, "Even if she is attracted to Qingyan,
I am suspicious, and I may not know that Qingyan is one of ours. Could it be that Mrs. Guo said something to her? "
Tinglan hissed, "Is it possible that the third lady is afraid that the old lady will give her cousin to the third master, so she keeps trying to persuade her to follow our second master?"
Little did Song Qian know that Guo wanted to provoke a fight between Song Qian and Jia Mengjun and attract everyone's attention so that she could carry out her plan to kill her husband. She gritted her teeth and said, "That must be the case! You saw the way Jia Mengjun looked at the master that day when he first came here, right?"
Tinglan laughed and said, "Why didn't you see that she is a big girl, her eyes are almost fixed on the second master! How did this girl grow up? She is so thick-skinned."
"Humph, let me keep her under surveillance!"
*****
Li Qingyi saw all the little actions of Guo and Song Qian.
Jia Mengjun didn't know what Guo had planned, but she knew it, so she watched and watched.
On this day, Li Qingyi was trying on wedding clothes. Chang Lan, who was watching Aunt Xue from outside, hurried back and said, "Girl, Song Qian's people followed Wei Shiyuan and found Aunt Xue's hiding place!"
"Really?" Li Qingyi heard this and spun around in front of the tall glazed mirror. His bright red pomegranate skirt swirled into a trumpet shape, spreading happiness all over the room.
Woad said in surprise, "I wonder what your adults will think when they see the girl dressed like this."
Li Qingyi pursed his lips and smiled, looking at himself in the mirror, "I want to know too."
Qin Zeng also gave her such a mirror in her previous life. On that day when she put on a bright red wedding dress, he stood behind her and praised her for the first time, expressing her beauty and her virtues as rumored.
However, this life is different from the previous life, and her relationship with Qin Zeng has also changed. I wonder what he will say when he sees her like this.
The master and servants discussed and speculated about the wedding dress for a while, and then the topic returned to Wei Shiyuan and Aunt Xue.
Although Wei Shiyuan had some expectations for Jia Mengjun, water from afar could not quench his thirst for nearness. Wei Shiyuan was alone for a few days, and then he thought of Aunt Xue's kindness again.
At this time, the people sent by Song Qian to keep an eye on her found out where Aunt Xue was hiding.
"If Song Qian wants to attack Aunt Xue, she will definitely do it when Wei Shiyuan is not present, so Guo can lure Wei Shiqian there and then kill her with a borrowed knife."
Changlan said: "I just don't know when Song Qian will find an opportunity?"
Heng Wu thought: "Mrs. Wei is over fifty and will have to live until her fiftieth birthday. At that time, everyone's attention will be on this, so it may be a good time to take action. Besides, Mrs. Guo is not going to let Mrs. Wei Do you feel the pain of losing a child? Isn’t your birthday just right?"
Li Qingyi counted the days with deep eyes, "It's almost over."
After getting rid of the stinky rats in the third room of the Wei family, she could get married with peace of mind.
