Gong Liangxuan blocked the Third Prince's sight with his body calmly, with his back turned to the Third Prince's face. He was extremely stern at the moment, and he looked at Gong Liangjing with scrutiny.
Although his words were as gentle as before, his expression could make Gong Liangjing look fearful.
"Why are you here? Did you come with your mother? There are too many foreign men here, so go find your mother and go back home together." Gong Liangxuan's words were unquestionable.
Gong Liangjing didn't dare to look him in the eyes, as if she had done something wrong.
He also recalled the hug with the man just now, such an intimate behavior, if the big brother knew about it, he would be even more unhappy.
Gong Liangjing saluted slightly, and explained, "Mother is talking to another wife, I..."
Gong Liangxuan directly interrupted her next words, with a more serious tone, "Go back to mother."
Gong Liangjing's body trembled, not daring to argue with such a brother, she lowered her head, apologized, then turned and left.
After the person disappeared around the corner, Gong Liangxuan turned around. At this time, his face returned to the usual warmth.
The third prince Zhao Hong looked interested and asked directly, "That's your sister just now?"
Gong Liangxuan's expression remained unchanged, "It's the youngest girl in the family, and it's really wrong to offend His Highness."
The third prince tapped the folding fan in the air three times, pointed at Gong Liangxuan, "What are you doing, so guarding against me, is it possible that His Highness can still eat her?"
A dark light flashed in Gong Liangxuan's eyes, but he quickly covered it up, "The third prince was joking, the appearance of a sister is not in your eyes."
Zhao Hong seemed to be very interested in what he said, thought about it seriously for a moment, and said something plausible, "That's not necessarily the case."
Gong Liangxuan's heart trembled, and when he was on guard, Zhao Hong changed the subject and talked about something else.
It seemed that it was just a joke just now, but Gong Liangxuan's complexion suddenly sank after following him.
Gong Liangjing returned to her mother, and Mrs. Sun had already prevaricated something in the house. It happened that Gong Liangjing came over, and Mrs. Sun dragged her away.
After returning to the carriage, Sun felt that her ears were quiet.
Seeing that her daughter was absent-minded, Sun asked, "What is Jing'er thinking?"
Gong Liang returned to his senses, his eyes dodged, subconsciously he didn't want to tell his mother what happened just now, "I just met my brother in Baiyulou."
Mrs. Sun was taken aback when she heard this, and frowned slightly, "Shouldn't Xuan'er be studying with you in the palace at this time? Why are you here?"
Gong Liangjing shook his head, "Maybe there is something wrong."
Sun's brows were deeply furrowed, thinking that her son didn't save her face at all that day, she said angrily, "Forget it, I can't control him anyway."
Mrs. Sun was in a bad mood, and Gong Liangjing also had his own thoughts. When the carriage returned, it was the same silence as when it came.
Tang Lihua knew that the hero and heroine met a few hours later, and it was Gong Liangxuan who returned home who said it in person.
Gong Liangxuan not only talked about today's situation, but also told all the nonsense his mother said that day.
The face is full of worry, "Grandmother, the eldest sister fell into the eyes of the third prince today, I am worried..."
Unfinished words, the grandparents and grandsons know each other well.
Tang Lihua was not surprised when she heard this, "Don't worry about it. I will explain everything at the birthday banquet the day after tomorrow. At that time, who the third prince likes has nothing to do with our Marquis."
Gong Liangxuan was a little dazed, and then fell silent. He knew about his grandmother's plan from his mother, but this time he heard it again, and he still had a strange feeling in his heart.
But in the end, Gong Liangxuan did not say any other advice, which was equivalent to acquiescing to this decision.
Compared with the adopted daughter of the Hou Mansion, as the eldest son, Gong Liangxuan paid more attention to the prosperity and decline of the Hou Mansion.
And the current situation is that it is best to send Gong Liangjing away.
So without Mrs. Sun's knowledge, and with Tang Lihua's mother and son, grandparents and grandchildren acquiescing, finally ushered in the birthday banquet of the old lady of the Hou Mansion.
The birthday banquet was held in the backyard of the Marquis Mansion, and many good families sent congratulatory gifts, even the Queen Mother sent many precious things.
This greatly increased the face of the Hou Mansion, and the guests who came also gave them a lot of face.
From the birthday banquet, Gong Liangyuan has always followed her grandmother. After going to so many banquets in her previous life, and her grandmother was here again, Gong Liangyuan got rid of the shrinking in her previous life. When she met her elders, she was very polite and generous.
Those old ladies, seeing their grandchildren are very face-saving, although they don't know what relationship this little girl has with the Ningyuan Houfu.
Someone who could talk to Tang Lihua asked, "I've never seen such a cute girl beside you, look at her teaching your grandmother, where did you recognize such a cute granddaughter? "
This was obviously a joke, Tang Lihua also laughed, took Gong Liangyuan's hand, and came to her, "Where do you recognize it, this is my own granddaughter, the serious daughter-in-law of the Hou Mansion."
Everyone was surprised now, and the person who asked the question before said hesitantly, "Stop joking with us, isn't your granddaughter Gong Liangjing, I saw your daughter-in-law taking her to greet people just now."
The smile on Tang Lihua's face remained unchanged, "I'm telling the truth, it's because this girl has been weak since she was born, and she hired countless famous doctors to barely revive her, so I went to ask the master to see her.
It is said that this girl has a predestined relationship with the Buddha, so she has been in the temple for so many years, and she was only brought back recently. "
Tang Lihua's face was full of sadness recalling the past, and she sighed after she finished speaking.
"And what about your other granddaughter?"
Of course, Tang Lihua said all the words she had thought up before, and then said.
"It's also because I'm worried about this girl. I'm afraid that she will be weak. If too many people find out about it, it will affect her fate, so I don't mention it. Now that she is in good health and has reached her age, she should return to Beijing as the governor."
Everyone didn't hear what she said clearly, and they were all shocked by the fact that Gong Liangjing was not the daughter of the Hou Mansion, but was just fostered in the Hou Mansion.
"Ms. Sun treats Jing'er very well. When her daughter is not around, she regards Jing'er as her own. After her distant cousin had a dystocia, and there was no news from her husband's family, Mrs. Sun took Jing'er to the Hou Mansion. last name, I didn't care about these.
It's just that a letter came from my cousin's husband's family recently, saying that they want to take their daughter back, so the Hou family can't stop them from being the real father and daughter. " Tang Lihua said seriously.
"By the way, now Jing'er has changed her father's surname back to Song Jing."
Now the old ladies are silent and speechless, knowing that the concubine of the Ningyuan Hou Mansion is well-born and well-informed, there are quite a few people here, and when she reaches her age, they will come to propose marriage.
But now they are actually told that Song Jing is not Miss Hou's Mansion at all, and she is about to leave Beijing, everyone can't react.
But such a big matter, related to the blood of the Hou family, Princess Anding would definitely not joke.
When the room was eerily silent, Sun followed a group of ladies into the room with a smile on her face. Behind her was Song Jing, who was the center of the topic just now.
When Sun and Song Jing entered the room, they felt that something was wrong. When they looked up again, they met a pair of strange eyes.
For some reason, Mrs. Sun had a bad premonition in her heart. Faced with these gazes, Mrs. Sun forced a smile and saluted the old lady in the seat, "Daughter-in-law has seen mother."
Tang Lihua responded lightly, and Mrs. Sun was used to her attitude, "Mother's birthday is today, and the daughter-in-law found Jade Guanyin. I will borrow flowers to send to Buddha. I wish mother blessings like the East Sea, and the sun and the moon will be bright."
"You have a heart." Tang Lihua waved her hand, and Mrs. Qian stepped forward to take the brocade box.
Song Jing was really uncomfortable being watched. She had obviously experienced many such scenes, but at this moment, she still became nervous.
Then came the reminder that the ghost asked her to do a task, and Gong Liangjing had already learned to automatically block the sound.
With an uneasy mood, Song Jing still took a step forward. The maid behind her unfolded a pair of embroidery. The embroidered cloth was embroidered by Song Jing with countless days and nights. The small "Buddha" characters formed a huge "Buddha". Buddha'.
Everyone didn't realize there was anything when they first saw it, but after a closer look, they were amazed.
Even Tang Lihua had to say that Song Jing really put her heart into it.
"Grandmother's birthday, Jing'er wishes you Songhe Changchun, spring and autumn are not old."
Tang Lihua nodded, "Okay."
There was no other words, and Song Jing couldn't help but feel lost.
Seeing her mood, Mrs. Sun grabbed her hand to comfort her.
"Grandmother, Yuan'er hopes that grandma will be well, and Yuan'er can always be by her side." Gong Liangyuan said softly.
Tang Lihua burst into a smile, "You are my granddaughter, you have only returned to the mansion for a few days, so naturally you want to stay by my side, if you want to leave, I won't let you go."
Tang Lihua's joke brought the atmosphere back to life in the room.
Someone even joked, "Girl Yuan, your grandmother is trying to tie you up and prevent you from getting married."
Gong Liangyuan was very serious, with attachment on her face, "I just want to be with grandma."
This led to more good-natured laughter.
The scene where grandparents and grandchildren were having fun, but Sun and Song Jing couldn't get involved, was a bit embarrassing.
Some of the wives who came in were waved by their parents and whispered in their ears.
The wives all had surprised expressions on their faces, and from time to time cast their gazes at Mrs. Sun.
After listening to all the words, the wives went their separate ways and gathered around Mrs. Sun without leaving a trace.
After exchanging glances, there was the impatient one, looking back and forth at Sun Shi and Song Jing.
Looking carefully, there is really no similarity between the Sun family and Song Jing, and Song Jing is not like the old lady of the Hou Mansion.
On the contrary, the one who just came back is somewhat similar to the old lady at first sight.
"Sister Sun, why are you willing to let your daughter who has been raised for more than ten years leave Beijing and go back?" Someone couldn't help it.
There was no malice in this question, just pure curiosity.
Sun Shi and Song Jing were startled, and Qiqi looked at the person who asked the question, "What did you say?"
The bad premonition was getting bigger and bigger in her heart, and Sun's words could not conceal the trembling.
"Your old lady said, could it be a lie?" Feeling that Mrs. Sun's reaction was a bit wrong, the man asked again.
Mrs. Sun was unsteady and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, there was Nanny Zhao behind her who saw the situation was wrong.
Song Jing's complexion is not much better than Sun's. Since yesterday, she has been restless and thought it was her own illusion.
But hearing this at this moment, Song Jing suddenly felt as if it was so.
The ladies were still asking questions sentence by sentence, they were just curious, how could Mrs. Sun keep the matter a secret for so long, and she always took Song Jing with her on weekdays, and she was in pain like a pearl.
They never thought that Song Jing was not Sun's own.
Thinking about it this way, I felt a little distressed for Mrs. Sun. After raising a daughter for others for so many years, and spending so much effort on her, it is all useless now.
Some people thought Sun's reaction was sad, so they persuaded, "Don't be sad, even if girl Jing leaves Beijing, she won't forget you as a mother."
These words were like a sharp knife piercing into Sun's chest. These days, Sun has been thinking about how to let Jing'er stay.
But now, it's useless for her to plan any more. The old lady has said everything, and everyone knows it.
Mrs. Sun could imagine that after today's banquet, the entire circle of elites in the capital would know that Jing'er was not the lady of the Hou family.
Since the old lady has chosen today, she will definitely not keep Jing'er in the Hou's residence. Perhaps tomorrow, perhaps the day after tomorrow, her poor daughter will leave the capital alone and go to a strange place.
Thinking of this, Sun's eyes turned black. If she didn't allow it, she would faint directly.
This is also the first time that Mrs. Sun has complained about the old lady, complaining about why she has no way out.
If it weren't for Mrs. Zhao holding her arm tightly, Mrs. Sun really wanted to go over and ask.
Seemingly feeling her hateful gaze, Tang Lihua turned her eyes to face Sun's, with endless coldness in her eyes.
