Chapter 30 Killing with a Knife 1

It was late at night, and the whole Prime Minister's house was silent, shrouded in the quiet night. The small door in the corner of the garden opened with a 'squeak' sound. A woman combing the maid's head carefully poked out her head and shouted gently twice. After a while, a person came out of the grass. With the moonlight, the two quickly covered it. Reflected in the grass.

"How's it going? Have you got it?"

"Well, the clothes and everything are locked in the box. I took a golden hairpin she often wears from the dresser."

"Well done. After it's done, the lady will be rewarded. At tomorrow's birthday banquet, you go to the front door and give this to a man in blue, and then..."

The voice was very low. Wu Qingli couldn't hear clearly on the wall, but his eyebrows were still wrinkled. This matter was really tricky.

The conversation between the two soon ended, and Wu Qing also turned around and jumped into the night and rushed to Fang's Yilan Garden.

In Yilan Garden, Fang was lying on ** to rest. Suddenly, there was a 'dong-dong' sound from the window lattice. Fang got up and got out of bed and whispered, "Who is coming?"

"In the words of the eldest lady, the maidservant is Biyi." After hearing this, Fang's heart calmed down and opened the door. Biyi quickly came in and closed the door. She turned around and said, "Mother Yin has settled down, and everything over there is ready. Just wait for tomorrow."

Fang's face was nervous and anxious. After listening to what Biyi said, he didn't slowly come to his senses. After a long time, he smiled and said, "In this way, you can rest assured."

Biyi nodded and Fang said, "Go back quickly so that you won't be found." Biyifu quietly opened the door and ran out. In the quiet night, no one found that someone had come.

Fang sat back ** and slowly sneered. Xia Mengning, don't blame me for being cruel, blame you for robbing my daughter's things.

After reading all this, Wu Qing returned to the bamboo branch garden at night. The bamboo branch garden was dark. Wu Qing quietly went in. Xia Mengning was sitting by the bed and enjoying the moonlight. Hearing the sound, she asked softly, "How about it?"

Wu Qing came up and told Xia Mengning what she saw. The latter nodded. Wu Qing was surprised, "What's wrong with the third lady..." Xia Mengning smiled, "Jiu'er is my person."

In a simple sentence, Wu Qing understood what had happened. Xia Mengning stood up and asked, "Can you go to the garden?" Then the Ning family is not a safe master.

Wu Qing laughed and said, "Don't you know that Miss San? This Ning used to be the number one in the brothel. I heard that a student in the private drama team is called Duan Xiaoyu. He is white and clean. The two of them can play hotly during that time."

Xia Mengning thought for a long time and smiled slightly. "This is the first time I've heard of this. Well, if she is willing to settle down, I won't move her. If she is uneasy, it's good to be our sharp weapon."

Wu Qing nodded and asked, "What about tomorrow?"

"It doesn't matter!"

Xia Mengning shook her hand and said, "Let nature take its course. How can the hole that Fang's mother and daughter have tried their best to dig? What's more, there will be many guests tomorrow, and my eldest sister will be famous all over the world.

Turning around, he picked up a paper bag from the table and handed it to Wu Qing. "This is a cherished medicinal material. You have it. When you wait for the banquet tomorrow, you will use it unconsciously."

Wu Qing took the paper bag and put it in his hand. He said with a smile, "Just wait to watch the show."

Wu Qing walked out, and Xia Mengning stood alone in front of the window. The moon was winding in the night sky. Xia Mengning narrowed her eyes, and the road to revenge was getting closer and closer.

It was early in the morning the next day. Xia Mengning was first served for breakfast. When Zhulian dressed her, she asked with a smile, "Today is a lively day. Miss must dress up well and be gorgeous."

Xia Mengning smiled and said, "Your young lady is only thirteen years old. Who can you suppress? You'd better not be poor-mouthed. Hurry up and dress me up. If you go to grandma's place late, you will lose your mouth again.

Zhulian stuck out her tongue, "Miss, what kind of bun do you want to comb? Do you want to be more grand?" Xia Mengning shook her head and thought for a while, "Combine a bun. It's simple and generous, and you can't lose dignity."

Zhulian's hands were very dexterous. After a while, a small cloud bun was combed. Zhulian picked up the wooden comb and took care of the green silk behind her head for Xia Mengning. Xia Mengning reached out and took a ruby gold hairpin in the style of acacia flower in the box, which was obliquely inserted on the bun.

Pasing her eyebrows and applying lip fat, Xia Meng stared at the person in the mirror, looking forward to shine. The red lipo reflected the white skin, which showed the girl's beautiful face.

Xia Mengning wore a pink coat for the first time, with a one-color flower skirt underneath, a moon-white pair of vests, and the wide cuffs and hem of the clothes were embroidered with acacia flowers, which only looked refreshing and clean.

I went to Rongfu Hall with Zhulian. Before I entered the room, I heard a lot of voices in it. Xia Mengning walked into the room and aimed at several well-dressed noble women. At first, she just lowered her head slightly and went to Xie's face and said, "I've met my grandmother. My grandmother's birthday is today. I wish my grandmother a happy life like the East China Sea and a long life is better than Nanshan. . "

Simple but dignified dress and elegant conversation, Xia Mengning attracted the eyes of the whole room as soon as she appeared.

"I've met my mother!" Xia Mengning leaned sideways and saluted Fang Shi beside him.

Fang is used to being a kind mother in front of people. How can she make trouble at this jux? At that moment, she just said with a smile, "Get up quickly. There is no need for these false gifts between mother and daughter."

Xia Mengning stood up, walked to one side and stood up. A lady with a bun sitting opposite smiled and said, "Which girl in the house is this? She is really good-looking. Just now, when I looked at it like this, I thought it was Jiutian Xuannu who came down to earth."

Fang Shi replied, "Mrs. Dong laughed again. Your daughter is the real beauty of heaven and man."

Mrs. Dong? Xia Mengning frowned slightly, and Wu Qing behind her came forward and whispered, "Mrs. Dong is the wife of Lord Dong, the servant of the Ministry of Ceremonies. Her eldest daughter, Dong Wanwan, is now the companion of the seventh princess in the palace. She is very popular. She attaches great importance to her and wants to marry her to be the main room of the eldest son."

Xia Mengning quickly clarified these relationships and bent the corners of her mouth. It turned out to be Fang's future prospective in-laws. No wonder she hurried up to climb relatives.

"Mom, how can you say that? I'm your serious daughter. How can I compare with those common girls? I really lost my identity."

Next to Mrs. Dong stood a woman in a small red shirt with a stand-up collar and a red skirt. The woman was combing her slanting bun, with pearls on her head and two huge beads on her ears, which was dazzling.

This person should be Dong Wanwan. Xia Meng thought, and Dong Wanwan over there said, "Isn't it, Miss Xia San, I'm not wrong about your identity."

Xia Mengning raised her head and smiled, "Of course it's right. It's just that my mother has always been tolerant and generous. She treats me like my own daughter in the house. There has never been a direct concubine. I am grateful to my mother, so I didn't tell Miss Dong first. It's rude."

Obviously, Dong Wanwan was disrespectful first, but Xia Mengning apologized first and pulled the upper family. After hearing this, the people around her unconsciously looked at the Fang family. This concubine's daughter respected you so much, but you chose to be silent when outsiders insulted her. This direct mother was too mean.

Fang Shi muttered in his heart that this Xia Mengning was really fanglish. He had to involve himself in whatever he said. Thinking of this, he said, "What did Ning'er say? You also call me mother, but this big family also has the rules of a big family, and etiquette is not to be abandoned."

Xia Mengning snorted coldly in her heart, but she did not say on her face. At this moment, a delicate voice came, "Mrs. Xia is going to set rules for the concubine's daughter in front of everyone, but everyone can hear each word just now. Some people are afraid that they will be squeezed by their mother-in-law after passing through the door, so they come to flatter them. It's pitiful. Miss Xia Jiasan, such a stepping stone for some people to achieve their goals, is really an eye-opener.

Xia Mengning looked up and looked. On the right side of the opposite stood a girl in willow green, combing a regular bun and a few simple but precious Ruyi gem hairpins on her hair, looking at herself with a smile.

"Liu Shihan!" Dong Wanwan stood up and pointed to the woman who spoke, "What do you mean? Who is someone referring to?"

The woman smiled carelessly, "Whoever you answer is."

Dong Wanwan snorted angrily, "But it's also a thing brought up by a common girl. What's wrong, it's really a noble and cheap life to find someone who has the same disease and pity each other."

The first woman to speak was not different after hearing this. Instead, she smiled and said, "I'm standing here now, whether I'm tall or noble. It's just that some people are beautiful for everyone, but they just say something pickled words, which is really a shameful for her."

What else did Dong Wanwan want to say? She was gently grabbed by Mrs. Dong behind her, and then she found that the whole room was looking at her with strange eyes. Dong Wanwan was so angry that she simply shook off her mother's hand and stood aside.

"It's normal for girls to be in a small mood. We old people are not in the way here. Let's go out to the theater."

Xie, who didn't say a word, spoke at this time. Everyone followed their own people out of the door. Xia Mengning fell to the end and was about to walk out of the room when her sleeves were pulled.

Turning around, I saw the woman who had just opened her mouth to speak for herself standing in front of me. Xia Meng was full of blessings, "Thank you for your help just now." The woman smiled indifferently and stretched out her hand to take Xia Mengning's arm. "It's okay. I've always liked to fight for peace, especially Dong Wanwan. It's really disgusting to rely on the fact that she is the seventh princess's accompanying her to study."

Xia Mengning seemed to be a little surprised, and then she was relieved. What kind of face she had seen in the world, hypocritical, ferocious, autocratic, domineering, only like the woman in front of her, who had never seen it.

"What are you doing? My name is Liu Shihan. My father is from Yipin Shangshu. Mother, you just met me. What about you? What's your name?"

Xia Mengning withdrew her thoughts and said with a faint smile, "Little girl Xia Mengning, you must know your father. Her biological mother is the daughter of the county magistrate."

Liu Shihan didn't seem to be interested in her background or anything. He just took her arm and said excitedly, "Xia Mengning, I'll call you Ning'er in the future. We will be good friends in the future. By the way, you can call me Shihan or Han'er."

Xia Mengning was infected by her emotions and held her hand and said, "Shihan."

The two walked out of the room talking and laughing. When they entered the garden, there were more than dozens of banquets in the garden. In front of them were the seats of the host and VIPs, and further ahead was a temporary high singing platform. Now, several martial arts students have jumped around with flower guns, causing the people below to clap their hands and shout. .

"Do you like listening to the play?" Liu Shihan asked, before Xia Mengning could answer, he said to himself, "I don't like to listen to this kind of play. It's boring to fight and kill. Why don't you take me to the house to play? I'm a guest and you're the master. That's just right."

Xia Mengning glanced at the people at the banquet in front of her and just nodded, "Well, I don't like it too lively. Let's go over there." After saying that, he turned to Wu Qing behind him and said, "You keep up."
