Chapter 46: A Chance Encounter
Song Ruoxi took Xiangxi to watch casually, and walked onto a secluded path without realizing it. Suddenly, whispers came from the front.,
"Is this really OK?"
"Warning, afraid that others don't know, right?" he scolded in a low voice.
Song Ruoxi and Xiangxiu looked at each other and hid behind the tree beside the road.
"If this matter is discovered, then we..."
"Why are you going to regret it now? If you want to retreat, it doesn't matter, but you don't want to marry the person you like."
"I……"
"You are so willing to give the opportunity to that bitch?"
"I...I'm not willing."
"She is just a concubine, why is she arrogant?"
"But she is the sister of the Imperial Concubine." Her delicate voice was timid.
"What kind of sister of the Imperial Concubine is just a slutty girl born in a song girl. If Mr. Hou hadn't entered the palace every day and Wei was clumsy and useless, how could she have come out to be presumptuous?"
"Don't be afraid, can you? Don't worry, everything is arranged properly and ensure that everything is foolproof."
The three girls walked side by side from the other end of the path. The one on the left was Hua Chaojie who had seen Li Xiaotang, and the one on the right was the girl who walked with Li Xiaotang on the day of Hua Chaojie. The two of them were persuading the round-faced girl in goose yellow clothes walking in the middle.
"If the matter fails, will those people confess us?" asked the round-faced girl worriedly.
"How could the matter fail? Don't worry about it." The girl in blue on the right comforted her.
"What did she rely on? Isn't it the Imperial Concubine, but the Imperial Concubine will not attend today. The Empress and the others are eager to make her fool of themselves. How can she be so arrogant in the future?" Li Xiaotang's beautiful face was slightly distorted. Li Mengdie's girl's mother had quite a means. The matter of Hua Chaojie was actually defended by her, which made Wei's stern leader.
"Besides, Princess Huangwen and Princess Anning are here, and they won't let her show off."
The three girls walked while talking, following the three maids behind them, not far away or near. When the six people left so far, they could not see anyone. Song Ruoxi and Xiangxiu walked out of their hiding place.
"Hey, woman, why bother women!" Song Ruoxi shook his head and said.
"Girl, are they going to deal with people? Is it the girl who cut her hand last time by the string?"
Song Ruoxi nodded, frowned slightly, and asked hesitantly: "Xiangxiu, do you think we want to help that Miss Li get out of trouble?"
"Girl, we can't take care of this matter. If Miss Yang hadn't taken over the matter last time, you wouldn't have been able to get out easily. Miss Li was arrogant and mean, not as kind as Miss Yang, and she wouldn't believe the words of a stranger for no reason. The girl had kind intentions to help her, but she was afraid that she wouldn't have done a good intention. The girl did not commit a crime but instead became a soldier." Xiang Xiu advised.
This is a bit reasonable. I don’t know what Li Xiaotang is going to do. I rashly told Li Mengdie that someone wanted to harm her, and it would be strange if she believed her. However, Song Ruoxi frowned and letting her leave her alone seemed unreasonable.
"Girl, let's pretend that we didn't hear this." Xiangxiu did not let Song Ruoxi be kind, and half helped her and half dragged her up. "Girl, let's go over there and take a look."
Song Ruoxi sighed, feeling powerless, forget it, just treat it as a deaf!
Song Ruoxi, who pretended to be deaf, was dragged by Xiangxiu and continued to wander in Qingzhu Garden. This time, he didn't greedy and took a quiet look. He turned two turns to people and saw a small pavilion in front of him. There was someone in the pavilion. Song Ruoxi was about to go around the pavilion and continue walking forward. The people in the pavilion saw her, "Miss Su!"
Song Ruoxi then discovered that the people inside the pavilion were Yang Wanrou, Qin Shaowei, Song Lian and two other men and two women, and smiled and said, "Miss Yang."
"Thank you Miss Su for helping me for the matter that day. If it weren't for Miss Su, the little girl would have been fooled in public." Yang Wanrou walked out and bowed her knees.
Yang Wanrou was grateful for the matter of Flower Festival and always wanted to find an opportunity to thank Song Ruoxi in person. However, it was not easy for her to come out once, and she did not have the protection of her mother and was very restrained by her stepmother. She naturally could not do whatever she wanted when she was doing things. Unexpectedly, she would meet Song Ruoxi this time, which was her thoughtful thing.
"A small matter, Miss Yang doesn't have to be polite." Song Ruoxi smiled.
"Miss Su is here for an outing, too?" Yang Wanrou asked with a smile.
"Yes, Miss Yang is too!" Yang Wanrou asked nonsense, and Song Ruoxi replied nonsense.
"I just came from Furong Garden, where is Miss Su?"
Song Ruoxi smiled, "I just came from Furong Garden, too."
"The lotus flowers on the Furong Garden will not bloom in June."
"Yes, now I only see the leaves but not the flowers."
"The apricot blossoms in Jidi Garden will have to wait for a while before they bloom."
"Yes, there aren't even buds."
"Mulan from Xinyi Garden..."
"yes……"
The two stood outside the pavilion, saying boring nonsense. The others didn't interrupt with a good temper, but seemed to have not listened to their conversation, and they all focused on enjoying the scenery outside.
"Cousin, if Miss Su is convenient, why not invite Miss Su in for a cup of tea and sit and talk." Qin Shaowei couldn't stand it anymore and said with a smile.
Yang Wanrou blushed. Her biological mother died early. Her stepmother treated her with love and was not very intimate. She never taught her these human feelings carefully. She was very grateful to Song Ruoxi, but she didn't know how to express it, so she kept standing outside the pavilion and talking to Song Ruoxi.
Song Ruoxi had been walking for so long and was a little tired and wanted to take a break, but hesitated about Qin Shaowei's invitation. These people were all strangers to her. Although one of them was a brother of her body, they had never gotten along with each other, not to mention that she was wearing a mask, he didn't know her, and she didn't "know" him.
"Miss Su, these three are my classmates and friends, this is Song Lian, this is Ji Yunxiang, they are cousins, this is Wang Zhigao, and these two are my cousins." Seeing Song Ruoxi hesitating, Qin Shaowei smiled and introduced her, but the girl's name was not revealed in public.
Both men and women showed friendly smiles at Song Ruoxi and nodded slightly.
"Miss Su, can you go in and sit?" Yang Wanrou looked at Song Ruoxi with her eyes. Her pitiful little look made Song Ruoxi unable to say anything. She followed her into the pavilion obediently and greeted everyone one by one. When the distance was close, she realized that Wang Zhigao was not one of the four people who stood up last time.
Song Lian politely gave up his seat and stood aside with a fan.
"Thank you!" Song Ruoxi smiled and thanked, sat down on the stone bench, took the tea served by his maid, and took a sip.
