After Wu Sheyue and Ning'er left, A Li entered the house and lit the oil lamp. Yu Jing still rocked the recliner with his eyes closed.
A Li looked at Yu Jing and said hesitantly: "Master, just now..."
"How dare you squat in my corner." Yu Jing opened his eyes and looked above his head calmly.
Ah Li lowered his head, it was not a good thing if his hearing was too good. He tentatively said, "Master, this Miss Wu San... she is very special."
“…”
Seeing that Yu Jing ignored him, A Li continued, "However, the things she made are really scary, and she doesn't look like a virtuous and virtuous woman. Moreover, if Princess Wu Meng finds out, then I'm afraid-"
"Wumeng won't be as busy as you." Yu Jing interrupted him coldly, and A Li shut his mouth.
Yu Jing closed his eyes again and rested his mind. When he was going to do something, he had to inform Wu Meng in advance. He and Wu Meng helped each other walk down, but neither of them would interfere with any of the other's decisions.

Ning'er and Wu Sheyue returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion through the back door. On the way back to the west courtyard, Wu Sheyue finally relaxed. She moved her shoulders and said, "I'm so tired! I'm going to lie down when I get back!"
Her feet really hurt with every step she took! This body is really weak... If I start exercising daily in the future, I don't know if I can regain my previous physical strength.
Ning'er sighed, "Miss, you'd better wash up first and then lie down. It's very windy and dusty outside."
"No, no, I just washed it at Yu Jing's place anyway." As soon as Wu Sheyue finished saying this, she suddenly saw another person standing in the darkness at the door of the west courtyard.
Wu Yin'er stood at the gate of the west courtyard, with her hands folded on her chest. When she saw Wu Sheyue, a smile filled her face, and she happily called out, "Third Sister."
Wu Sheyue frowned slightly, wondering if Wu Yin'er heard anything. She nodded and said, "Fifth sister is waiting for me again?"
Wu Yin'er walked down the steps, her eyes briefly glanced at Wu Sheyue, and she said happily: "Yes, my grandmother asked people to come over to look for her sister today, but she couldn't find her. Bai Lian doesn't know where her sister has gone. I'm afraid of grandma When I got angry, I asked Bilan to go over and tell my grandmother that the third sister and I went to play in the garden."
"How did you know that grandma sent someone to find me?"
"I asked Bilan to deliver a purse to my sister. Bilan came back and told me." She said, reaching out and handing over a blue purse embroidered with butterflies.
Wu Sheyue took it and nodded: "Thank you, sister, but there is no need to wait for me here."
"Third sister also helped me, I should do it." Wu Yin'er smiled very sweetly. She took out a post with exquisite texture from her sleeve and said: "Grandma asked someone to send this post, because there is no When he saw his sister, Bilan went over to report it and gave it to Bilan. I wanted to give this to my sister."
Wu Sheyue took it and opened the post. On the light pink cardboard, there were three characters "Hundred Flowers Banquet" written in gilded letters. Below it was Wu Sheyue's name, date, etc.
Wu Sheyue's heart became heavier and heavier, this was really just what she said!
Seeing that Wu Sheyue seemed to have something on her mind, Wu Yin'er sighed: "Yin'er is really envious of my sister for being able to go to the Hundred Flowers Banquet."
Wu Sheyue asked in surprise: "Then you won't go?"
"Yin'er is too young. The Hundred Flowers Banquet... Yin'er may not be able to go." Wu Yin'er said with a bit of shyness on her face.
Seeing Wu Yin'er acting like this, Wu Sheyue suddenly wondered what the content of this Hundred Flowers Banquet was.
"It's getting late. Third sister, please rest early. By the way, I heard from the boy who came back that Aunt Meng was praying at Fragrant Mountain, so she delayed her trip. But she will be back tomorrow afternoon, and she might be back early the day after tomorrow. It’s time to open a forum to practice.”
“…”
Seeing that Wu Sheyue didn't answer and didn't seem to care about the matter, Wu Yin'er was a little embarrassed and said: "Then... Yin'er will go back now."
Ning'er watched Wu Yin'er leave, and then said: "Miss, I think the fifth lady also has good intentions. I don't know how long she has been waiting at the door."
"Okay, let's go back." Although Ning'er said the same thing, Wu Sheyue felt strange. You can send whatever you want tomorrow morning, not to mention she sent Bilan to lie, so why not let Bilan wait here.
It really makes sense, or it doesn't make sense.
Wu Sheyue returned to the house, stuffed the ring pendant into the cabinet, threw the clothes she took from Yu Jing everywhere, and fell asleep.

The next day, as soon as it got light, Wu Sheyue got up early and went to report to the old lady. After all, Wu Yin'er had told all the lies, so she had to smooth things over.
As usual, she entered the house with a coquettish "Grandma~" before she entered the house. Wu Sheyue is well versed in socializing. The old lady couldn't find her yesterday, so she has to put on a good show today.
Sure enough, when the old lady saw Wu Sheyue coming, she wasn't really angry. She just deliberately said with a straight face: "Hey, this little girl still knows how to come."
As soon as Wu Sheyue entered the door, she saw that there were quite a few people in the room, including Jiang Qingxue, Ning Shuang, Aunt Liu and Wu Lixiang. Jiang Qingxue was not smiling at first, but her face became even more ugly when she saw Wu Sheyue.
Wu Sheyue said very respectfully: "Yue'er has met her grandmother and her mother."
Jiang Qingxue responded with a smile.
The old lady asked her with a straight face: "Where did you go yesterday?"
Wu Sheyue smiled and hugged the old lady's arm to act coquettishly, "Grandma, Yin'er and I played so crazy yesterday that we didn't even know it was dark. The flowers in the small forest behind our Prime Minister's Mansion were all blooming! Later, We went to the tower and… ended up falling asleep in there.”
Aunt Liu suddenly coughed, seeming to express her disbelief. After all, it is a big deal for a woman not to come home at night.
Wu Sheyue continued as if she hadn't heard anything: "Yue'er and Fifth Sister went back before the second watch last night. Hey, if we hadn't heard the birds chirping in the tower, I'm afraid we would have slept until dawn." She knew that actually the old lady I have always believed it, otherwise I would have arranged for someone to check it out last night.
Sure enough, the old lady sighed and tapped Wu Sheyue's nose and said, "You, you don't know how hungry you are even if you don't eat. You are so playful at such an old age, how can you get married in the future."
Wu Sheyue chuckled, "What are you doing when you get married? Yue'er will be at home with her grandmother~"
The old lady's face suddenly became happy, and she scolded her with a smile: "You girl, don't talk nonsense."
Ning Shuang suddenly smiled and said, "Miss San is really kind. Girls like this are the cutest." Although her words praised Wu Sheyue, they unknowingly aroused Wu Lixiang's dislike.
The old lady said to Wu Sheyue: "By the way, from now on I will be your sixth aunt."
Wu Sheyue nodded politely to Ning Shuang. (To be continued)
