On this day, Chu Mengli was busy with the matter of the hotpot restaurant, but she received a letter from the Duke of Wang's mansion inviting her to dinner. After she finished reading it, she became even more baffled …
The invitation letter said that Chu Mengli was invited to attend the banquet five days later, and Wang Yahan's seventeenth birthday was also written on it.
Why would the Residence of State send an invitation to a woman? Under normal circumstances, wouldn't the matriarch send a portion to the Prime Minister's Estate before bringing the young miss to attend the banquet? Wang Ya Han and Chu Meng Die had a good relationship, so it was reasonable for her to send a copy to Chu Meng Die. She definitely would not invite him alone.
The servant was so shocked that her mouth curved into a smile, "Really? Is there really such a big plant? "
"How can that be false? She saw it with her own eyes. It's in Fourth Miss's bedroom right now. " The maid had an 'A' expression that said 'you don't even know this'.
"Master really dotes on Fourth Miss. I don't think the Second Miss and Eldest Young Master have any. They only gave Fourth Miss a stalk."
"That's right, that's right!" Old Master had pampered the people of Yinhe Garden since when Aunt Shen was still around. Now that Aunt Shen is no longer here, she's even better to Fourth Miss. If there's anything good to think about, it's Fourth Miss.
"I really want to see it!" In my entire life, I've never seen such a huge coral! " The servant girl's face was filled with envy and yearning.
"Isn't it easy if you want to see it?" The maidservant said in an imposing manner, "I just saw the Fourth Miss bringing people out of the house and not in the garden. I told my village to bring you to the Fourth Miss' room to take a peek."
Servant B quickly waved her hand, "Forget it, forget it. I'm just a scrubbing girl, what if I break something in Fourth Miss's bedroom?" "If Fourth Miss loses something, I won't be able to wash it even if I jump into the Yellow River. Let's just forget about it!"
The two chatted for a while more before the length of each courtyard dispersed.
Chu Mengshuang's face darkened, her father is actually so biased, in the past, he would never forget the Garden of Peace, today, he doesn't even have anything big brother, taking advantage of Chu Mengli's absence, I would like to see if the coral is really that good.
Thinking of this, he decided not to look for Chu Mengyue anymore, and headed towards the Yinhe Garden instead.
After entering the garden, he went straight to Chu Mengli's bedroom. At the entrance, he met Zhong Xia, who was doing embroidery.
Zhong Xia was somewhat astonished. He stood up and bowed, "Greetings, Third Young Miss!"
Chu Mengshuang ignored her and pushed open the door to enter.
Zhong Xia missed his position in front of the door, "Third Miss, my family's Miss isn't here, so you should come back later!"
"Scram!" Chu Mengshuang grabbed hold of Zhong Xia's arm and threw him aside. Then, she pushed open the door and stepped inside.
After Chu Mengli had transmigrated, she had arranged the bedroom according to her usual habits.
Chu Mengshuang looked at the surroundings and saw that it wasn't luxurious, it could only be considered exquisite. Her lips curled up in disdain as she walked into the room and observed her surroundings, and then she saw the fire coral beside the soft couch.
Although it was not as tall as the maidservant's description, it was still a rare treasure. Especially when the noon sunlight shone on it, it was sparkling and clear. The color was as red as a burning flame. Beautiful.
Chu Mengshuang had always liked beautiful colors, and now she was greedily looking at this fire coral. How could a lowly woman like Chu Mengli have such a good thing? Such a precious item should be suitable for someone like her. Didn't Chu Mengli have all the good things she had previously? This coral would look better in his room.
At this time, Chu Mengshuang had completely forgotten that she was only a beggar girl. She only knew that she didn't dare to say that she had stolen so many things from Chu Mengli. She didn't want to miss this opportunity either.
"Chun Er, Autumn Flower, bring it back to me."
It was not the first time the two of them had done this. They rolled up their sleeves and were about to move.
Midsummer hurriedly stood in front of the coral. "Third Miss!" What are you doing? This is a gift from Master to my Miss. "
"I know!" Chu Mengshang smiled malevolently, "So what?" If I like it, it's mine. "
"Third Miss, most of the good things in Yinhe Garden have been taken by you. There is nothing left, so please be magnanimous!" Last time, you pushed my Miss out of the way for a hairpin. Her head hit a rock garden and she almost lost her life! " Midsummer's voice was tear-filled and his expression was sorrowful.
"Humph!" So what if he took it? Last time, that slut was really lucky. She was born into a slut, so she wasn't worthy of such a precious treasure. "Chu Mengshuang stepped forward and pushed Zhong Xia onto the ground," Both of you, hurry up and move the two of you.
Just as Chun Er and Qiuju's hands were about to touch the coral, they heard an angry shout coming from the door.
"Everyone stop!" An angry roar came from the door. They turned around and saw Chu Zhennan standing there with an ashen face. Chu Mengli was at a loss as she looked at the people in the room.
Chu Mengshuang's face instantly turned pale.
"Who are you calling a bitch? Ah? "Who's the bastard?" Chu Zhennan pointed at Chu Mengshuang with a terrifyingly dark expression. He was so angry that his fingertips were trembling.
"Father... Father... Father, why are you here? " Chu Mengshuang looked as if she couldn't believe it. She then looked at Chu Mengli who was helping Zhong Xia up, "Didn't you go out?"
"Third sister, what are you doing?" Chu Mengli frowned with displeasure.
"Tell me, who's the bitch and who's the bastard?" Chu Zhennan's eyes were fixed on Chu Mengshuang.
"Father... Father is not like this. You misheard me, Father. No, no … " Chu Mengshuang frantically waved her hands to explain, and she started to step back.
"Do you think I'm deaf?" Chu Zhennan pressed on step by step. I told her why I never saw Li'er take out the things I gave her. I thought Li'er had already put them away since she didn't want to be too ostentatious, but I didn't expect you to snatch all those things away. It's not enough for you to rob things, but you still want to put your sister to death.
Chu Zhennan was so angry that smoke was coming out of his head. His most beloved daughter had suffered so much, and the one who caused all this was his other daughter.
"I didn't, I didn't …" Chu Mengshuang looked at him with a pale face as she screamed, "It's you! You did it on purpose! You set me up, and then you lured my father over!"
"What is Third Sister saying?" Why don't I understand? " Chu Mengli looked at her innocently.
"What does it have to do with you? "It was I who met Li'er at the door and told her about her cooking skills in the kitchen." Chu Zhennan was in a bad mood, "Uncle Qing, bring some people to search Cui Wei Yuan, and see if all the things I sent to Yizheng all these years were with her, and if I wronged her?" "He then called over a few of the women from Yinhe Garden and pointed at Chu Mengshuang, Chun Er and Qiuju." Take them to the front yard. "
Chu Mengli and Zhong Xia looked at each other, the corners of their mouths slightly raised.
