Chapter 474 Guest House
Lin Mingyan called Rendong over and whispered something in her ear.
Honeysuckle agreed and came to Zhang Ruoyu: "Miss Zhang, there is another pot of flowers for you to see. Come with me."
Zhang Ruoyu had naturally received the news, and at this moment she said to Nian Qiuyue, "Sister Nian, I'll go take a look and will be back soon."
Nian Qiuyue nodded to show that she understood.
The lunch was almost over, and the last dish, lily sweet soup, was soon served.
Zhilan had returned without making a sound. When she passed by Nian Qiuyue, she suddenly had an idea and tripped the maid who was serving soup.
After all, the master wanted to take revenge on Zhang and Nian.
If Zhang were to stay with her fiancé, people would gossip about her, but if Nian were to stay with Zhang's fiancé, that would be a lively scene!
The little maid was holding a tray with six small cups of soup on it. She tripped unexpectedly and lost her balance, so she fell to the side.
She had already reached the table. If the soup spilled onto the distinguished guest, she would be in real danger of death.
In a very dangerous moment, she could only pour the soup on herself. Six bowls of soup poured down from her arms and all over the little maid.
Although this soup is not freshly cooked, it is still very hot in order to preserve the flavor.
It all fell on her, and her arms were instantly burned red.
After this accident, the banquet suddenly became quiet.
Lin Mingyan hurriedly ordered Du Juan: "Take her downstairs and give her a cold shower, don't let her get burned."
I don’t know whether it was because the maid was careless or someone was doing something bad, or whether the maid’s injury was serious.
Dujuan immediately took people over and took the little maid away. Then someone came and wiped the floor clean.
However, even with such a quick cleanup, Guo Luoluo still found an opportunity to mock: "Fourth sister-in-law, the servants in the mansion still need to be properly disciplined. Big mistakes will happen if they don't follow the rules."
Lin Mingyan took the handkerchief and wiped her mouth before replying, "No one is perfect, so who can be without mistakes?"
"If you make a mistake, find the reason and don't make it again next time."
Guo Luoluo covered her mouth and laughed, "That's easy to say, but what if I hurt our distinguished guest?"
"Ouch, Nian, the hem of your skirt is wet. Did you get burned?"
Nian Qiuyue was really angry. The corner of her skirt was a little wet, but it was actually no big deal.
Just hide the skirt a little and go back to change after the party is over.
But now that Guo Luoluo had exposed her mistake, everyone's eyes were fixed on the hem of her skirt, and she had no choice but to change it.
She could only say to Lin Mingyan: "It's okay, just the hem of my skirt is a little wet."
When no one knows, it doesn't matter if the corner of your clothes gets wet, but if people find out, you will have to change them.
Lin Mingyan immediately ordered Du Juan: "Have someone take Miss Nian to the guest house and change into new clothes."
After thanking her, Nian followed a little maid to the guest house.
No one paid any attention to Guo Luoluo and just left her there.
No one else spoke to her. After all, spilling some soup was nothing to be surprised about.
This Eighth Lady had to bring it up specifically. She is really petty.
Everyone resumed their laughter and joy, and no one took this little incident to heart, except for Guo Luoluo, whose face looked ugly for a while.
But not long after, she started drinking soup spoonful by spoonful with a smile on her face again.
.
The front yard was very lively, and once the men started drinking, the scene became somewhat chaotic.
As the Fourth Master's brother-in-law, Mingheng was naturally forced to drink.
However, his drinking capacity was developed when he was a military officer, and he was able to remain sober.
When the banquet was almost over, a young eunuch came up to him and said, "Master, this servant is Su Jin. The master asked me to take you to the guest house to rest for a while."
"Hmm?" Mingheng's eyes were a little wary.
Su Jin whispered in your ear again, "The master said he had already told you a few days ago that he had something to tell you."
This was what Lin Mingyan had told him earlier, giving him the opportunity to meet and talk to Zhang Ruoyu.
Seeing this, he spoke to the servant beside the Fourth Master and followed Su Jin.
As the two of them started walking, a young eunuch followed them.
As they passed by a group of people who were drinking, the young eunuch gave them a slight push, and half a jar of wine was thrown towards them.
"Ouch, sir, be careful!" Su Jin tried to block it, but failed.
Mingheng was quite skilled and had quick reactions, and he grabbed the wine jar with one hand.
At least it didn't fall to the ground, otherwise it would have been an ugly scene.
However, this also caused a lot of wine to spill out, and half of his sleeves and chest were wet.
He was wearing light grey clothes today, and traces of spilled wine were very obvious.
Seeing that he was not injured, Su Jin said, "Master, it's just right to go to the guest garden to tidy up and change clothes."
Mingheng looked around and didn't see anyone suspicious, so he nodded slightly and followed the eunuch to the guest house.
The young eunuch in the corner hesitated for a moment, but still followed the two men.
The guest house is not in the front yard, and of course not in the inner yard, but in a row of houses on the east side of the mansion.
It happened that they were going there to meet Zhang Ruoyu, so Su Jin took Mingheng to a room and said, "Master, please rest here for a while. I will go get you some clothes."
There was water in the room. Mingheng took off his wine-stained coat and wiped his face and hands with a handkerchief.
I drank a lot today. If I don’t take a break, Zhang Ruoyu might smell it and leave a bad impression.
Su Jin came out and closed the door, then left quickly and went to the backyard to find someone to get clothes.
At this time, a young eunuch with lowered eyebrows and submissive eyes ran to the door of the guest house, as if he was on duty there.
What he didn't see was that a woman in pink came out from behind him and went towards the room where Mingheng was.
Mingheng had just washed his face and was sitting on the bed wearing only his underwear when he heard some movement at the door.
But it was completely different from Su Jin's footsteps just now.
If I have to describe it, it seems like there is a strong sense of stealing.
He asked loudly, "Who?"
No one answered, but at this time the sound of a door closing was clearly heard.
Whoever that person outside is, he has now entered the house.
Mingheng frowned, recalling the funny stories his elder sister told them when they were young, and of course such scenes were inevitable.
He looked at the dirty clothes on the ground, rolled them up, and with a leap, he used the table and wardrobe to climb onto the beam.
When he stood still and looked down carefully, he knew the person coming - it was Nara Shushen who always harassed him in the past.
Nara Shushen still held her breath when she entered the house. She came to find Niu Hulu Mingheng.
When she heard the plan of the Eighth Lady and the maidservant from behind, she felt a surge of anticipation - she wanted to marry Mingheng!
Knowing that they would plan to make Mingheng come to the guest house to change clothes, she made an excuse of feeling unwell and asked the maid in the mansion to take her to the guest house to rest.
Then he quietly hid here, waiting for Mingheng's arrival.
Zhang, she is going to strike first!
