The daily life of a concubine's daughter

Chapter 282 Pretending to be a Little White Lotus

"Okay, then we have a deal! You must write to me about all the interesting things happening in the capital, especially interesting things happening in your family."

Ge Qiuheng covered her mouth and smiled. She had long forgotten the sadness of parting because of the crying of the women in her family these days. Instead, she was looking forward to the long journey in the future.

Shi Yao smiled and squeezed her hand: "I know what you are thinking. Don't worry, I will definitely write to you. If I have the chance, I will definitely visit you. Speaking of which, I also want to see the beautiful scenery of Daxing, but it's a pity that when I came to the capital from Jinling, it was snowy and biting cold all the way. I couldn't enjoy the scenery along the way. It's a pity."

Ge Qiuheng wanted to talk to her about the package of knockout drugs, but when he saw Mu Xiang behind her, he turned around and asked, "Why would the Jiang family come to escort you? Who is the other young man?"

Shi Yao was about to answer when suddenly another luxurious carriage came.

This carriage also has ceremonial guards.

The one leading the way was a eunuch.

Ge Qiuheng whispered, "It's the prince's guard of honor."

After saying that, she took Shi Yao and went forward with the Ge family to pay their respects.

The car door opened, and the fourth prince Zhou Shao helped Shi Mingzhu get out.

Everyone shouted: "Greetings to His Majesty King Cheng!"

Shi Mingzhu fell to the ground, feeling a stab in the heart.

If it were in their previous lives, they would have shouted again at this moment: "Greetings to Her Royal Highness Princess Cheng!"

At this moment, it is impossible to say that I have no regrets at all.

Zhou Shao glanced at everyone, took two quick steps, stepped forward and personally helped Ningyuan Hou up, and said with a smile: "Marquis Ge, please get up quickly. Today is a day off, and I went out with my family. I didn't expect to run into Marquis Ge's family. Did the Marquis go out of the city to enjoy the spring? That's a coincidence."

Ning Yuan Hou clasped his fists and smiled, "It is indeed a coincidence. Shang Yuechen's brother wrote to say that his sister-in-law is bedridden. My son is going to visit his uncle and aunt on our behalf, so the family came here to see him off."

On the surface, the Ge family's second son was traveling far away to visit relatives, and Ge Qiuheng was just along for the ride.

Ge Qiuheng's second brother stepped forward and bowed to Zhou Shao.

Shi Mingzhu asked, "Is it only the second son of the Ge family?"

Ning Yuanhou paused and said, "And my little daughter, she is worried about her aunt, so she is traveling with us."

Shi Mingzhu looked at Ge Qiuheng and smiled without saying anything.

She still remembered the embarrassments Ge Qiuheng had put her in time and again, and she also remembered that in order to see her, Myna had his leg broken by the cunning old fox Ning Yuanhou.

Ge Qiuheng lowered her head and looked submissive. She stepped forward to salute Zhou Shao, and then to salute Shi Mingzhu. Her voice was soft, her figure was slender, and she looked very fragile.

Shi Mingzhu wanted to embarrass her, so she didn't say anything. However, Zhou Shao didn't want to make any more enemies, so he hurriedly said, "Miss Ge, please get up."

Ge Qiuheng thanked him, stood up and retreated silently.

Shi Mingzhu's eyes darkened immediately, and she asked worriedly, "Sister Ge Si doesn't look well, maybe she's been having nightmares lately?"

Zhou Shao glanced at her, then at Ge Qiuheng: The girl from the Ge family has a rosy complexion, how could she not have a good complexion?

Ge Qiuheng understood what Shi Mingzhu meant, raised her eyes, and replied with a bright smile: "I did not sleep well last night, but I did not have a nightmare. I was so happy that I could finally see the beautiful mountains and rivers of Daxing along the way. I was excited and excited, so I couldn't sleep.

We can live in this prosperous and peaceful life, thanks to your majesty's great grace. Your Highness, please convey my daughter's gratitude to your majesty the next time you see him."

Shi Mingzhu clenched her fists suddenly, and hatred flashed in her eyes.

This Ge Qiuheng has such a cruel heart!

Eighth brother’s leg was broken, but she was so excited that she could finally get rid of him, even if it meant traveling thousands of miles away from home!

Doesn't she feel guilty or sad at all?

In her previous life, she had misjudged her and thought she was a pure and kind person!

Zhou Shao felt proud of what Ge Qiuheng said, secretly praising the Ge family for their loyalty to the court, and said with a smile, "I will certainly pass it on."

After saying this, he seemed to have just noticed Shi Yao and asked, "Miss Shi, are you here to see me off?"

Shi Yao's scalp tensed up and she replied, "Yes."

Shi Mingzhu squinted at Shi Yao and said coldly, "Everyone in the Shi family is reflecting on their mistakes behind closed doors, but the second sister is in a good mood and is strolling around."

Shi Yao's shoulders shrank, her eyes turned red, and she said aggrievedly: "My grandmother allowed me to go out."

Shi Mingzhu wanted to slap her in the face. What had she done to her that made her look so aggrieved? It was as if she was some kind of man-eating beast that had always bullied her in the past.

Just keep pretending!

One day, she will tear off Shi Yao's hypocritical mask!

Ge Qiuheng moved and quietly walked to Shi Yao's side. She silently held Shi Yao's hand and lowered her head with her, like two bullied young wives huddling together for warmth.

Shi Mingzhu: “…”

Zhou Shao was a little embarrassed, and coughed, saying, "It's getting late, so I won't bother you any more. Mr. Ge and Miss Ge, please get on your way."

Ningyuan Marquis and his family bid farewell to King Cheng and his concubine.

Everyone got on the carriage.

Shi Mingzhu lifted the carriage curtain and glared at Ge Qiuheng and Shi Yao angrily. She saw two people following Shi Yao's carriage. One was Jiang Miao, whom she knew, and the other was a stranger, but he was handsome and dignified. She pointed at Tang Zhan and asked:

"Who is that lecher? Why is he pestering my second sister?"

Zhou Shao saw that she was in a bad mood and quickly ordered the eunuch to find out.

When the carriage started, the eunuch came back and said, "He is General Tang Jing's eldest son, named Tang Zhan. He is already a deputy captain of the fifth rank. He came to Beijing to escort the second wife back to Beijing. He is currently staying at the Duke's Mansion."

Shi Mingzhu sensed something was wrong and asked, "How could he, a deputy captain, go out to escort my second sister?"

The eunuch hesitated: "This...I don't know."

Shi Mingzhu lifted the curtain and stared at Tang Zhan carefully.

Tang Zhan and Jiang Miao were arm in arm, but Jiang Miao was too impatient to pay attention to them. He went to look at the load carried by the passing peddler and picked out a few small items to give to Shi Yao.

Quite flattering.

Shi Mingzhu was struck by lightning and suddenly realized that this was the man that her second aunt brought back to the capital to marry Shi Yao!

General Tang Jing is no ordinary person. He is the right-hand man of his second uncle and the Duke's Mansion. She used to often hear her grandparents mention the Tang family.

Have her uncle and aunt also given up on her?

No wonder she didn't come to visit me even after my second aunt returned to Beijing for several days.

Shi Mingzhu let down the curtain in a daze and lowered her head in tears.

Zhou Shao was startled, and hurriedly hugged her and asked, "Zhuzhu, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying suddenly?"

Shi Mingzhu didn't want to deal with him, but she had to put on a smile: "Sister Ge Si and I have been good friends since we were young. She is going on a long journey. I don't know if she can return to Beijing in this lifetime. When I think of this, I can't help but feel sad."

"You are just too sentimental," Zhou Shao hooked her nose, relieved, and said with a smile, "All good things must come to an end. You have your place to go, and she has her place to go. Without her, there will be other girls to date you in the future. Speaking of which, I thought of an interesting thing. Do you still remember Xie Jibai, the romantic man whose reputation spread all over Kyoto?"

Shi Mingzhu was puzzled: "What happened to him?"

"Didn't his sister rescue a group of kidnapped people the other day? He took a fancy to a few beautiful women and stuffed them into a carriage and took them home."

Shi Mingzhu cried and seemed to be thinking about something.

After Shi Yao corrected her idea that "marriage is a major matter and the decisions of grandparents are taken", she began to like Tang Zhan much more.

Seeing that he and Jiang Miao were getting along well, she admired his emotional intelligence even more and more, and happily accepted the small gift he sent.

When she looked up, she pointed at the branch and screamed, "Ah! There's a person hiding there!"
