Soon, the group was ready to set off.

"Sister! "Elder sister!"

His younger brother and sister pulled on Song Xiangsi's sleeve as they stared at her, forcefully pulling her out of her thoughts.

Song Xiangsi calmed herself down, smiled, and asked gently: "What's wrong?"

The younger brother and sister curled their lips, their small faces scrunched up in grief as they said, "Big sister, what are you thinking about? We've been calling you for so long, yet you've ignored us!" After saying that, he pouted his mouth.

Song Xiangsi could not help but smile when she saw the expressions of the two of them. Ever since they realized that pouting would treat them better, the two of them had always wanted to act pitiful in front of her. However, she had already become immune to it.

"Elder sister, look at how you ignored us two again. Sigh! We truly are pitiful. My sister, who dotes on us the most, doesn't even want to pay attention to us anymore. Indeed, we are still a blade of grass, and there is no place for us in this world. " The younger brother and sister turned around and crossed their arms behind their backs, sighing like an old man.

"Cough, cough!" Song Xiangsi lowered her fist to her mouth and pretended to cough twice, while she feigned innocence as she looked at the two of them.

Sure enough, as he had expected, the two little spirits were unable to persevere any longer. They turned around and looked at her pitifully. Seeing this, Song Xiangsi felt a little complacent in her heart. She thought to herself, "There's only the two of you, yet you want to tease me."

Song Xiangsi went down the stairs as well, asking curiously, "Why are you two here so late? Why aren't you sleeping?"

The younger brother and sister looked at each other, then looked at Meng Ling Xuan and hesitantly said, "The two of us can't sleep. Elder sister, can you tell us a story?!"

Song Xiangsi did not even think about rejecting this request. After all, she did not know how to tell a story.

However, the two children each grabbed one of her sleeves and said, "Please, sister!" But they were all rejected.

After an unknown period of time, Song Xiangsi finally agreed to tell them a story due to the unrelenting actions of the two children.

"If you want to tell a story, then I'll just barely listen to it." Meng Fanxuan raised an eyebrow.

Song Xiangsi rolled her eyes at his words. She thought to herself: If it wasn't for the crown prince, I would have chased you out already. Entering a lady's room at night, how could you still be reasonable! However, since her brother and sister were both here, she had to pay attention to her image. She could only think about what kind of story he would tell to avoid looking down on her.

"Let me tell you the story of 'Dream of the Red Chamber'! Legend has it that two of the jade avatars had been sent to different families, and one of them was a man named Jia Baoyu. This Jia family was an illustrious aristocrat, and had the Rongguo Mansion and the Ningguo Mansion. The other was a woman named Lin Daiyu. There was a poor scholar in the Gourd Temple named Jia Yu Village. He went to the exam and became an official, but his laws were broken and he was stripped of his position within a year. Coincidentally, he went to Lin Daiyu's hometown and taught her how to read. Afterwards, after Lin Daiyu's mother passed away, Lin Daiyu also went to the Jia family mansion under his escort …

Before he knew it, he had already told nearly half of the story.

The three of them were attracted by her story and no one realized that she needed water. Song Xiangsi saw that they were in high spirits and wanted to go to sleep. He rolled his eyes and said, "I'm a little thirsty, it's getting late, so I might as well take a break!"

"Sigh!" His younger brother and sister exclaimed in surprise. It was obvious that they didn't want to sleep. If it was anyone else who didn't want to sleep at the climax, it would be meaningless to tell a story in one go.

Song Xiangsi assumed the pose of a young mistress Yan as he solemnly looked at the two of them. All of a sudden, they no longer dared to wail.

Seeing the two of them being so obedient, she relaxed her expression and said, "Don't bite off more than you can chew! It's getting late, you guys are so young, and your bodies can't take it. If you guys still want to hear it, I'll tell you guys tomorrow night, how about that? "

His younger brother and sister immediately understood what she meant. Helplessly sleeping, he repeatedly made her promise to continue the story before sleeping. Song Xiangsi nodded in agreement.

Looking at their sleeping appearance, Song Xiangsi could not help but sigh in her heart that it was easier to bring children from ancient times. She knew how to be polite.

Seeing that he was still in the carriage, Song Xiangsi could not help but ask, "Why aren't you leaving? Even though this is a carriage, it can still be considered my boudoir. This is disrespectful, right?"

Meng Ling Xuan only raised an eyebrow and didn't answer her question. He asked, "What's the follow-up to this story?"

Seeing that Meng Ling Xuan was so interested in her story, Song Xiang Si immediately thought of what he had said before. With a crafty smile, she provokingly said, "Didn't you just force yourself to listen? "Since we're just trying to listen, why would we care about the outcome?"

As soon as he heard this, he knew it was a grudge. Meng Liangxuan couldn't help but twitch his mouth, sighing to himself, "Only women and vile men are hard to take care of!"

However, Song Xiangsi was secretly delighted to see that Meng Ling Xuan was so interested in her story. She pretended to reluctantly reveal it, "The ending of this story is a tragedy!"

Meng Fangxuan nodded and smiled faintly. His smile attracted Song Xiangsi's attention and for a moment, she did not recover her senses.

When she came back to her senses, her ears were slightly red. She looked away and pretended to look at her younger brother and sister who were asleep. She silently cursed in her heart, "A man is even more monstrous than me. The heavens are unfair."

"It's just as I thought." Meng Ling Xuan didn't notice this detail and nodded to himself instead.

Song Xiangsi looked at him curiously with doubt in her eyes. She thought to herself, Could the ancients have figured out the ending?

"The results can be seen just from these," said Meng, combining the background of Song Xiangsi's story with the style of personality of each character.

Jia Baoyu only knows how to sing poems and fight, his position seems to be very high in the Jia family, but he doesn't have any real power, and the Jia family has existed for too long, they have always been a thorn in the Emperor's heart. If someone could warn Yuan Chun to be more careful, then the Jia family wouldn't have fallen to such a state, however, the day that Jia Baoyu doesn't stand up, the Jia family will still fall … "Meng Fen Xuan glanced at Song Xiangsi, a trace of smile on his face.

"How do you know?" Song Xiangsi asked.

"Lin Daiyu was unable to be together with Jia Baoyu from the start. With her status, the two of them are destined to end up with no good results, and a relative of the royal family will focus more on the status and interests of both sides … So to favor a person who is not a threat to one's own interests, one can give them a good reputation without affecting them … They are destined to end up with bad endings in the beginning, but for the both of them, it's not a complete tragedy."

When he finished his analysis, Song Xiangsi looked at him with a different expression. It would be meaningless if he was exposed like that. She immediately pretended that she did not understand.

"Bandits!"

Suddenly, there was a cry of alarm outside the carriage and a burst of chaos. The faint sound of weapons clashing attracted both of their attention.
