The Feng family courtyard.
"You mean, Su Ya's sister can't come out recently? No chance to go in?" Bi She said with her back to Lu Mei.
To Lu Mei, Bi Snake is a big man in black clothes, and she can't see Bi Snake's appearance.
"Sir, that's what Sister Suya said." Lu Mei nodded.
"Is there no other way?" Bi She frowned.
Feng Meiyu is his first path, and Lu Mei is her second path.
She would not put all her hopes on the first path, so she still had expectations for Lu Mei.
"There is still hope. As long as Sister Suya is willing to take the initiative to go to the ancestral hall, she should be able to meet her sister. Her sister is a big steward at the ancestral hall and is in charge of many things." Lu Mei said.
"Can you please persuade Su Ya?" Bi She asked.
"Sir, I will do my best."
"Okay, tell me what you need here next time." Bi She walked away and disappeared from the window.
Looking at the window where Bi She left, Lu Mei's eyes flashed with determination.
This time, without that adult, she would definitely die.
There is no way to repay the kindness of saving her life. As long as the adults ask her to do something, she will go all out.
In a separate courtyard.
Ximei lingered uneasily, standing at the window, looking outside from time to time.
Two days have passed, and she has been worried for two days since she stayed here.
There has been no news from there so far, so I don’t know what the outcome will be.
What she is most worried about now is that she will implicate her master. She has played with Feng Meiyu since she was a child, and she knows Feng Meiyu very well.
In front of outsiders, Feng Meiyu behaves like a spoiled child, but she knows that Feng Meiyu is actually much kinder than other nobles. He longs to be recognized, but his talent is not enough and he is not as good at reading. People, later on, they just broke the jar and ignored it.
She didn't want to implicate Feng Meiyu. She thought that if it didn't work, she would commit suicide and write a suicide note to explain that it was all her fault.
Even if she died, she would not put the trouble on Feng Meiyu.
In fact, she has already written her suicide note and placed it on the pillow next to her bed.
Since entering the Feng Mansion, she has also learned some words and can still write simple letters. The Feng family prides itself on being a family of civil servants, and the maids and servants in the family are not allowed to have illiterate people who cannot read a single big character.
In the words of the head of the Feng family, this is called foundation.
It was a civil servant's house with a rich cultural heritage, and even the maids who bought groceries knew the Chinese characters.
While she was thinking a lot, suddenly, the door outside the yard opened.
Ximei's heart skipped a beat, and her heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate.
"Ximei, good news, good news." Mei Zhi's voice came from outside.
Hearing that Mei Zhi said "good news...", Ximei couldn't help but open the door and rushed outside, almost colliding with Mei Zhi who was rushing from outside.
"Is there really good news?" Ximei was worried that it was her illusion.
"Can I still lie to you? I'm here to tell you the good news." Mei Zhi rolled her eyes.
"Sister Meizhi, please don't lie to me, don't make it difficult for the young master." Ximei said hurriedly.
"Don't worry, I won't make it difficult for the young master. Why should I lie to you? There is no benefit to me from lying to you."
"Sister Mei Zhi, what's the good news?" Ximei smiled sheepishly, and then said hurriedly.
"Your matter is settled. Aunt Yi has removed your name from the laundry room book. This matter ends here. No one else is allowed to talk about it anymore," Mei Zhi said.
"But... what if Master Yu asks?" Ximei frowned.
It doesn't matter if Grandma Yi doesn't care about it. If Feng Yu asks, she might not be able to explain.
"You don't have to worry about it, Master Yu. Someone will deal with him." Mei Zhi said nonchalantly.
"Isn't it going to hurt the young master?" Ximei asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, you're still worrying. Just take a good rest and trust the young master, okay?" Mei Zhi said.
This involves the secret things Feng Meiyu told her. Naturally, she can't leak it out casually, let alone explain it to Ximei.
"Okay, what can I do to help the young master now?" Ximei said.
"What you have to do now is follow me and leave Feng Mansion. After you leave, I will arrange a place for you to stay. Don't do anything else until the young master needs you."
"Okay, I'll follow my sister's arrangements." Ximei nodded. She had roughly understood it. All she could do now was follow the arrangements and not cause trouble for the young master. He didn't need to do anything else.
…
After arranging for Ximei, Mei Zhi hurried back to find the young master to reply, but did not see the young master.
One of the maids told Mei Zhi that the young master had been recruited by the master and he didn't know what he was doing.
When she heard that the young master had been recruited by the master, Mei Zhi felt a little uneasy. Could it be that the matter was exposed?
When Feng Meiyu received the news that his father had recruited him, he was a little scared, but he still encouraged himself. If the matter really came to light, he would take it upon himself.
The most his father could do was give him a beating, nothing more.
When he entered the family hall, he discovered that it was not just him.
In the hall, several adults came.
Among the three adults of the Feng family, the head of the Feng family and the eldest brother, Feng Tiyi, sat in the position of the head of the family.
Sitting on both sides were his father, the second eldest son of the Feng family, Feng Qingya, and the third uncle, Feng Liyang.
In addition, two people of his generation, the eldest brother Feng Qingsu and the third uncle's Feng Yu, have already arrived.
Including him, the three of them were standing in the hall.
Feng Qingya watched Feng Meiyu enter the room. He glanced at it and felt that Feng Meiyu was a little displeased.
The elder’s family and the third family’s family are all successful in their studies.
This person in my family is simply a demon king and an evil deed. He has achieved nothing in studies so far. He is just a child and cannot even pass the exam to become a scholar.
Now I spend all my time hanging around in a pile of makeup and powder, and I have no future.
The more I think about it, the angrier I get, and my face doesn't look very good.
"All three of you are here. Next, I have to explain something to you." Feng Tiyi, the head of the Feng family, coughed and began to lecture.
"I came to you three to tell you something important. In a few days, you will go to the British Duke's cultural conference together..."
"Me, I want to go too?" Feng Meiyu said subconsciously.
But as soon as the words came out, I knew something bad was going to happen.
"Nie Zhan, do you have any room to speak? Why don't you kneel down?" Feng Qingya slapped the table heavily.
"Don't be angry, second brother. Meiyu is still a child. Be careful of scaring the child." Feng Tiyi said.
"Child? He is almost at the age of engagement. What kind of child is this? General Luo's son, most of them are navy admirals." Feng Qingya said.
