"Are other aristocratic families ready?" Xu continued to ask.

She and Shangguan Jinghong were more like singing and telling Meng about the situation in the court's back house.

For the deeply rooted families of princes, princes, generals and ministers, their daughters are somewhat lacking in confidence. If Meng does not want Shangguan Yuxuan to enter the prince's mansion, then if she can use the personal resources of her Grand Tutor's mansion, wouldn't it be the best shortcut?

"That's natural. One person has achieved enlightenment and the family of powerful officials has been ready to move, and even racked their brains to prepare their talents, and they want to soar to the top!

Who would have hoped that the girl of my family would marry into the royal family and contribute to the prosperity of the next generation of her family?" Shangguan Jinghong saw that Meng had not yet spoken words, so he said his purpose more bluntly through other people's affairs.

Meng slowly raised his eyes and looked at him, and said gracefully as usual: "Master and the second sister are chatting first, so I'll go and see Xuan'er first!"

"..." Shangguan Jinghong's wrinkles were engraved deeper, he breathed a little, and said with a slightly unwilling expression: "Well, go! Let her be prepared too! Then, you will take her and Xiner to the palace for a banquet!"

Meng looked at the man in front of him, nodded slightly, and left the main hall and walked towards Furong Pavilion.

An old woman dressed as a gardener, with a down-eyed look on her, walked away from Meng with a pleasing look. After asking An, she whispered a few words in front of her, then said goodbye and left.

Meng's eyes became deeper, and the muscles on her cheeks were tense. She took two deep breaths and continued to walk forward...

In Furong Pavilion, outside Shangguan Yuxuan's door, Xia He and Xiaotao were guarding there like two incompetent door gods to prevent anyone from disturbing the conversation between Meng and Shangguan Yuxuan and his daughter.

Xia He was coldly looking at Xiaotao, who was holding his fingernails bored, and whispered: "I tell you, don't rely on showing your face twice in front of the lady, you can write off the mistakes you made before. If you dare to climb up the branches without any brains, I will be the first to kill you!"

Xiaotao stared at her without being outdone, and said disdainfully: "I want to destroy me, I'll be practicing for more than ten or twenty years!"

If this guy who is in trouble with him everywhere, if it weren't for her concern for Shangguan Yuxuan, he would have tried every means to deal with her.

"I don't know what method you used to kill Jinbao. I won't surrender like him!" Xia He thought of Jinbao's miserable ending, and couldn't help but sweat in his back, and he always felt a gust of cold wind blowing on him.

Xiao Tao pulled the corner of her mouth and smiled with a slutty mouth. Looking at her slutty look, she didn't expect that this little girl was still a paper tiger.

Forget it, if the adults don’t remember the villain’s fault, can you still care about a seventeen-year-old child?

At night, the slightly cool and impatient wind cannot disperse the dark clouds in the sky. The not-very white moon only reveals half of its face, as if it is secretly peeking into the world. Who is doing the evil and dirty things that kill and set fire with his dark night wind?

Xiao Tao stretched her waist boredly, and looked at the half moon outside the window with her hands on her chin. Why haven’t she come yet? If she doesn’t come again, she will be asleep!

"Come on! Catch the flower picking thief! Come on! He ran to the yard of the second lady!" A sharp voice of a woman cut through the quiet summer in the Shangshu Mansion.

"Hey, here we come!" Xiao Tao immediately became energetic.

In less than a stick of incense, everyone in the mansion wanted to surround Shangguan Yuxuan's yard.

This made Yuan San, who was hiding on the big tree with lush branches and leaves, unconsciously dripping cold sweat. Why didn’t he see any flower-picking thief coming in?

Are you going to cheat someone?

Those people don’t search and think of themselves as flower picking thieves? No matter how high their skills are, they can’t escape the siege of the three layers of the outside and three layers here, right?

"I saw it and just ran into the second lady's yard!" The sharp female voice became much smaller, obviously knowing that her remarks were inappropriate.

"Father, let's go in and have a look! Otherwise, if it is..." Shangguan Yuxin's obvious emotional words made people think about it.

Shangguan Jinghong had a dark face, and his clear expression of insight made Shangguan Yuxin look three points weaker.

Meng just glanced at them indifferently, then stopped talking and walked straight into the yard.

Shangguan Yuxin looked at her mother guiltily, but the other party didn't even give him a look, so she followed Shangguan Jinghong and Meng's steps, making Shangguan Yuxin's heart even more gloomy.

With such a big noise, how could the people in Furong Pavilion not hear the noise? All the maids on duty put on their clothes and walked out of the side room, and Xiaotao was there.

Shangguan Yuxuan put on her clothes simply and walked out and asked in confusion: "Father, mother is so late, why are you here?"

"Catch the thief!" Meng said lightly, but the chill in this sentence made people feel cold. This woman who has always had a gentle temper also has her own temper.

"Mother!" Shangguan Yuxuan became even more confused. How could there be a thief in her yard? Who is so dirty and going to steal things?

The innocent Shangguan Yuxuan thought that her yard had really been thieves.

All the masters entered Shangguan Yuxuan's central hall. Meng sat in the main seat without permission, and Shangguan Jinghong sat on the other side.

Xu still sat next to the lower head, but Shangguan Yuxin stood there without a seat.

Shangguan Yuxuan looked at them for no reason. On her mother's serious face, she guessed that the group of people who came here in the middle of the night were definitely not just because she had some kindness!

"Hey, my good sister! Cuihua in the eldest brother's yard just now said that a flower-picking thief came into the mansion. Her scream made the thief so scared that he fled to you. I'll let the servants check, where did he hide?" Shangguan Yuxin said to Shangguan Yuxuan with an anxious expression.

"Oh!" Shangguan Yuxuan responded long, so that's it. Is this an excuse to search for his own yard? His yard is so big and there are many maids. How could he hide a living person?

Shangguan Yuxuan really didn't know that there was not just a living person hidden in her yard! It was also a living man!

"Does my father think that the guards in our mansion will be so incompetent to put a flower-picking thief in there?" Shangguan Yuxuan looked at Shangguan Jinghong with bright eyes.

She was smart and agile. In the afternoon, her mother talked to herself about the thoughts of the palace and also about the purpose of their desire to enter the prince's mansion. She had already learned about it at this time that they could not tolerate their powerful competitor.

I didn't expect that such a thing happened at night. I couldn't wait! I didn't cause trouble, but I wasn't afraid of trouble! Since I wanted to assassinate myself, it depends on your sinister and cunning moves? Xiaotao hid behind someone, and his eyes showed obvious excitement. Hey, I'll go, the plot that I only saw in TV novels before is now being staged in real life in front of me. How can I not make myself excited?

"Since I want to search Xuan'er's yard, I'll search it. In order to prevent the thief from escaping to another yard, we will search the whole mansion so that we can sleep peacefully. Don't always disturb people's dreams in the middle of the night!" Meng said leisurely with a expressionless face.

Shangguan Jinghong and Xu both showed thoughtful expressions, and Xu gave Shangguan Jinghong anxiously.

Shangguan Jinghong coughed lightly and said with a slight expression: "Xuan'er's words are reasonable. Our mansion is very strict. How could it be that little thief who came and left at will?"

"That's not true. Cuihua must have read it wrong!" Xu immediately agreed.

"Father, mother, and mother agree to search the mansion. It is better to believe that there is such a thing than to believe that there is nothing! What if the second sister fails, then how can that be good?" Shangguan Yuxin felt that her parents' attitude was quite strange.

I have already made things happen to this extent. As long as I go with the flow, Shangguan Yuxuan will definitely be knocked out of dust!

"Nonsense, are you still unclear about what you should say and what you shouldn't say? Where is your elder brother?" Shangguan Jinghong's eyebrows stood up, and his unevenness and self-importance made Shangguan Yuxin suddenly feel a little frightened.

Such a big thing happened in the mansion, and as the eldest son, he didn't even show his face.

"Mingchen was invited by his friend!" Xu explained in a low voice.

Shangguan Jinghong said that it was fake to be a guest. He didn’t go home so late, so it was true that he went to drink wine!

Shangguan Jinghong was afraid that Meng would follow the truth and affect his son's image in front of the servants in the mansion. He distracted his attention and turned his official power to the little maid who was kneeling on the ground and trembling with shaking figure: "Cuihua, have you... really seen the thief?"

"I, look at me... I don't know if I see a figure?" At this time, the little maid who saw the master's winks dared to continue to challenge with a stubborn voice. She could only make ambiguous remarks, thinking about not offending the master's wife and living up to the young lady's way!

"Since that's the case, then forget it..." Before Shangguan Jinghong finished speaking, he was coldly interrupted by Meng.

"Since that's the case, we must never tolerate the traitor. If we don't check it clearly tonight and disperse in a confused manner, and any rumors that are not conducive to Xuan'er will be even more ridiculous!" Meng's dark eyes were full of complaints about Shangguan Jinghong's inaction.

He was even more disappointed that he was partial to Shangguan Yuxin and ignored his daughter's innocence, and only wanted to excuse her.

"Come here! The servants of the two houses searched together to find out if there were any thieves?" Meng turned his head and ordered the maids and servants outside the hall without any doubt.

"Madam..." Meng brought out Shangguan Yuxuan's reputation. If he stopped him, there must be rumors in the future, and he might be hated by the Grand Tutor's Mansion.

He forced himself to speak speechlessly: "Since the lady has spoken, just follow the lady's orders!"

"Yes!" The servants bowed and took the order and left.
