C180

Zhao Xiaoxue had already got off the car. Even though there was a black veil over the grass, she could still see the surrounding situation. This was a wide grassland. Although it was winter, the grass still had a strong vitality.

Zhao Xiaoxue didn't think that the tea party mentioned by Lady Han would actually be in such a place. It looked a little like the lawn she saw in the park before.

However, the lawn was bustling with activity. There were many large and small carriages parked around the lawn. They were all of a good design, and the carriage next to him was quite eye-catching.

In the center of the lawn, there was a mass of fresh flowers. With the flower beds as the center, a foot-high fence cut the flower beds into many large and small cubes. Inside each cube, there was a tea table and a few prayer mats.

Besides the tea table and prayer mats in the flowerbed, there were also many tea tables and prayer mats in the flowerbed. Perhaps this was what Han Yunxi meant by 'levels'.

"Young master, this way please. Madam has ordered this servant to guide you. My master is playing chess with the tall man in the pavilion ahead!"

Even though this young master was very strange and wore a black hat the entire time, Little Ci did not dare to disrespect him. Even if this young master was incomparably ugly, at the very least, he was rich.

"No!" Since Master Han is playing chess with someone, there's no need to disturb me.

Seeing Lady Han, who was such a miser, Zhao Xiaoxue did not want to be part of it. Moreover, she heard that this was Prime Minister Gao's residence, and if Zhao Xiaoxue was not mistaken, Prime Minister Gao might be the one she met at the Lotus Pond in the Southern Palace. Recently, he had met with quite a few troubles, so Zhao Xiaoxue did not want to get into any trouble, so she decided to leave as soon as possible.

"Young master! Young master! "If you leave like this, then this carriage …"

Han Yunxi was just by the side, tidying up her dress. When she heard her young master's words, she became flustered and flustered. It was only then that she heard someone announce the rankings and the carriage was suddenly driven away.

"Leave the carriage!"

Even though Zhao Xiaoxue didn't want to, she didn't want to go back on her word.

"Then... Thank you so much, young master! Thank you, young master! "Thank you, Young Noble!"

Madam Han was filled with gratitude.

Zhao Xiaoxue ignored him and turned to leave. Qing He and Xia Yu followed closely behind.

"En..." "Young master, since you're all gone, then this carriage …"

Madam Han didn't think that even the coachman would leave. She suddenly began to grow anxious.

"As long as Lady Han gets the carriage driver to stop at the entrance, someone will come and get it!"

Hearing the words of the driver, Madam Han's face was filled with embarrassment. If the coachman left, who would she go find? However, now was not the time to be worried about who would be driving the carriage. The tea party was about to begin, and as long as the carriage could be left behind, the small details would be forgotten.

After walking a distance and realizing that there was no one around, Qing He finally couldn't help but say:

"Miss, it's clear from one look that Lady Han is someone who is obsessed with wealth. Why did you leave the carriage behind? It's a pity that it looks so exquisite!"

In response to Qing He's words, Zhao Xiaoxue simply responded,

He's just a carriage, it's not like he won't come back, so there's no need to pay too much attention to it. However, Imperial Guard Xia is so powerful, to be able to find such a luxurious carriage in such a short amount of time.

Zhao Xiaoxue was very curious about this, but she didn't get the chance to ask.

Your subordinate only managed to get this carriage from a business under the Snow Manor because of your name. Not to mention, your subordinate didn't expect your name to be so useful, but the carriage you sent was so luxurious that it couldn't even be compared to the carriages of nobles and kings. It was because of Lady Han that I was so infatuated with this carriage!

Facing this sort of result, Xia Yu felt a bit helpless.

"Uh, of course my Miss's name is useful. The Xue Manor's business name is spread throughout the entire city, even throughout the country. As long as Miss wants to use it, no one would dare to be dissatisfied, and it's even the best!"

Upon mentioning this point, Qing He felt exceptionally proud of herself.

"That's right!" Our princess consort's family is the richest in the city! Other people definitely won't get such treatment! "

Xia Yu followed the flow and discussed.

"Alright, even if you're the wealthiest, you should keep a low profile. Let's get out of here first!"

Zhao Xiaoxue did not have the awareness of being the richest person in the world. In her opinion, money could not be exposed. A wealthy family's daughter and the Southern Wangfei combined together could really make other people jealous and give birth to evil thoughts.

"Madam Guo has arrived, the carriage is waiting for her!"

"Lady Cai, the carriage has arrived!"

The servants on the grass not far away began shouting again. Only then did Zhao Xiaoxue notice that there were two carriages stopping not far away from her.

Very quickly, a plump middle-aged woman with a head full of jade, dressed in an orange-red robe, slowly alighted from the carriage with the help of a young woman. On the other side, a lady wearing a blue robe with a jade hairpin followed closely behind her. This lady just so happened to have a young lady by her side.

"It's them!"

Seeing the group of women that just got off the carriage, Qing He's eyes widened as if she was afraid. She couldn't help but retreat.

"Qing He, what happened to you?"

Seeing Qing He acting so strangely, Zhao Xiaoxue asked with a puzzled expression.

"You seem to be very afraid of my aunts?"

Hearing the Miss's question, Qing He suddenly stepped forward and said:

"Miss, do you still remember how we fled to the Gan Prefecture? If it were not for the fact that these two madams wanted to harm Miss, she would not be in such a difficult situation! "

At least, before that, Qing He had never been so anxious.

"Then what did they do?"

Until now, Zhao Xiaoxue hadn't had a chance to ask about this matter, but now that she met with it, since there was nothing going on, she needed to find out more about it.

"Miss, they …" When the Master was not around and they had power in the manor, they found an unfamiliar man and wanted him to sully Miss's innocence. In the end, they were found out by this servant and wanted to expose their evil deeds.

Thinking of the hardships he had gone through during that time, Qing He couldn't help but burst into tears.

"So it's like that. Their hearts are indeed not that good, but luckily, they didn't succeed, so it can be counted as the luckiest thing that happened!"

"Miss, why aren't you angry?"

Qing He felt that this was a huge matter, but the Lady didn't seem to be angry at all.

"Forget it, everything is over. Even if I am angry, I can't make it happen again. In addition, they haven't gotten any bad results, so no matter what, they are my aunt and father has treated them well. Therefore, as long as they don't provoke me in the future, I don't want to provoke them either!"

Zhao Xiaoxue knew that she didn't have much time left, so she couldn't be filial to her fat father. Naturally, she didn't want to add to his troubles, and if this matter got out of hand, her father and her two aunts might not be able to get along in the future. Even if it was peace on the surface, Zhao Xiaoxue was still willing to keep it up.

"But Miss …" "Just let them go like that …"

Qing He truly felt that it was a pity. Seeing this, Zhao Xiaoxue lightly shook her head:

"Qing He, it's not that I'm willing to let them go, it's that I'm truly unable to do anything to them. Although my father will definitely believe my words, but in reality, I do not have any memories.

Even if I believe them, if they were to quibble, I would be helpless against them. Other than a witness like you, there is no other material evidence at all, so, it is not that I want to let them go, but that I am helpless against them! "

"Miss, did this servant speak the truth …"

Qing He tried her best to prove that she wasn't lying, but just as the Lady said, she really didn't have any evidence.

"I believe you!"

Zhao Xiaoxue's words seemed to give Qing He a peace of mind.

"But even if I do, others might not believe it!"

What Zhao Xiaoxue said was the truth. There was no helping it, this was the only way.

"What happened just now?" Is there something wrong with that man's eyes, a second-class carriage? How did our carriage become a second class carriage? "

Madam Guo was very dissatisfied with such an evaluation.

"Big sister, this tea party happens once a month. It's not like you don't know how sharp these Anduin ladies' eyes are, they wouldn't be willing to stay behind. We can only blame ourselves for noticing it too late, so they ended up being second class!"

Madame Cai stepped forward to hold Madame Guo's hand. Although this outcome was somewhat unexpected, it seemed to be within their expectations. After all, the ladies of Anduo usually didn't have much to do, so they would naturally want to compete with each other when they got the chance to gather together.

"Second sister, you are wrong, it is not that we sensed that it was too late, but we couldn't ask for it. Last time, I felt that some good fur should have been placed in this carriage, but unfortunately, there are some things that are not easy to get."

Thinking of this result, Madam Guo's heart was filled with resentment. It was precisely because of this that such a result had occurred today.

"Sigh!" There's nothing we can do about it! "

Hearing Madam Cai's sigh, the corners of Madam Guo's lips quirked down in anger.

"What do you mean there's no way around it? There's such a fine product in the Xue Clan's store, but without the orders from the declaration, the people from the Xue Clan store wouldn't even give me a job. That's why I'm embarrassed today. It's fine if I don't participate in this tea ceremony!"

Since it was impossible to sit at the front, Madam Guo really didn't want to participate. The moment she turned around, the young woman who had been supporting her all this time complained:

"Mother, we just arrived, isn't it a bit bad to leave like this? "Didn't you say that Prime Minister Gao's wife was bestowed with a first-class title? If we were to leave just like that, I'm afraid that Madame Gao wouldn't be happy!"

As a lady from a noble family, Guo Hongying rarely went out. It was not easy for her to attend the tea party, she did not want to leave just like that. After all, she had prepared such beautiful clothes, so in her opinion, whether the carriage was beautiful or not did not matter, as long as she was good-looking.

"Big Sis, don't be impulsive! This is only a once a month tea party! Although it's a tea party, it's also the best chance for all the officials' wives to exchange information. If we miss it, we might break off our relationship with this circle!"

"Yeah, aunty needs to think twice. Big Sister Hong Ying and I have been looking forward to this day for a long time!"

The little girl who had been holding Madam Cai's arm also threw herself at Madam Guo's side, wanting to persuade her to stay with the others. Cai Ruo Lan knew that if her aunt left, her mother would leave as well. She wouldn't agree to this.

Hearing everyone's dissuasion, then looking at the two smart girls beside her, Madam Guo's thoughts of leaving were retracted.

"Alright! Fine! "I'm not leaving anymore, you two are not young anymore, if I don't find a good home for you guys, Mingqi and I will die from worry, for you guys, I will definitely endure it!"

Madam Guo was right, the reason they came to this tea party was not only to compete, but also to find a good place for their daughter to stay. Previously, they had also discussed this related issue, so if they properly raised the issue this time, they might really have a motive, so she couldn't leave no matter what.

"Big sister, let's go. No matter what, even if it's a second-rate job, we're still at the top!"

With much difficulty, Madame Cai calmed everyone down and started walking towards the flower beds with Madam Guo in her arms.

"Wait! "Let me see what kind of carriages are piled up there."

Suddenly, Madame Guo grabbed Madame Cai's arm and stood on the spot. She'd lost this time, but that didn't mean she wouldn't be able to pull it back next time, so she had to watch carefully.

"Ah?" Second sister, look! That... "Then …"

Madam Guo originally wanted to observe the carriage, but she didn't expect to see a face that she was very familiar with.

Noticing how excited her elder sister was, Mrs. Cai looked over and saw a young boy in a servant uniform walking across the grass.

"Qing He, that's Qing He, right?"

Madam Guo hadn't expected Qing He to appear here, and she only came back to her senses now that she was agitated.

"Sister, don't worry, she is indeed Qing He!"

Although they were dressed as servants, it hadn't been one or two days since they met Qing He. It had been more than seven years and something that left a deep impression on them had happened, so no matter what Qing He's attire was, they would be able to quickly recognize her.

"Why is she here? This was Prime Minister Gao's estate, she … You're not here to denounce us, are you? "

Madam Guo was a bit worried. Could it be that this little girl was planning to report their situation to the Prime Minister?

"Eldest young mistress, don't worry. This is Prime Minister Gao's residence. If she were to report, we should have gone straight to the yamen, not here." I heard that not long ago, this Qing He came to the Southern King Manor. Logically speaking, she should be by Flight's side. Why would she be with two men? "

Mrs. Cai looked at the two men in front of her with some curiosity. The young master in the black veil was one of them.

"Could it be that the one wearing the hat is the Southern King?"

At the mention of the Southern King, Guo Hongying and Cai Ruo Lan's eyes widened with excitement:

"Everyone says that the Southern King is handsome and extraordinary, but it's a pity that I never had the chance to see him again. I wonder if he's really as handsome and dashing as the legends say?"
