The two wives walked over from the other end of the path, each holding a basket, and there was something in it, talking and laughing. Ten feet away, they saw their eldest daughter Qin Hanzhen sitting upright in Fengwei Pavilion, reading a book in her hand. Qin Hanzhen's eldest maid Feng'er stood beside her, holding a folding fan, and gently slapped the owner in the wind.

Although the two wives knew each other well, their temperaments were not very similar. One of them wanted to pull the sleeves of his companion when he saw this: "Miss Three is reading books there, so let's not disturb her." Her companion hesitated and refused to leave: "Miss Three is here, there is only one girl by his side. I wonder if there is any instructions for others to do it? Let's go over and ask."

The former looked at the latter in surprise: "Are you crazy? If the third girl gave me instructions, isn't Feng'er there? How can we both do it? We still have errands, so hurry up and dig up the bamboo shoots and deliver them to the kitchen, otherwise I will be impatient to wait in a while, and you and I will have to eat!"

The latter didn't take her words seriously: "What are you afraid of? If the third girl ordered us to do things, who would dare to scold us? If we were well dressed and could go to the inner courtyard to do things, even if we were not working with the third girl, we would be more generous now! We don't have many opportunities to get involved in the noble people on weekdays. Now the third girl is in front of us. Could it be that we really want to let go of the pie that fell from the sky?"

The former hesitated, and the latter was about to walk towards Fengweixuan as he raised his foot.

Feng'er actually kept paying attention to the movements outside in the Xuan. Seeing that the two wives stopped at the intersection in front of him, she couldn't help but frown. She subconsciously looked down at Zhao Mo who was sitting on the ground under the Xuan window, then looked at Qin Hanzhen who was sitting on the bamboo chair in front of the window, paused, and walked out of Fengweixuan and walked towards the two wives.

She asked them with a cold face: "What are you doing here? Can't you see the girl reading books in Fengweixuan? Do you need quiet the most?"

The two wives immediately calmed down. Feng'er, as the eldest maid in front of Qin Hanzhen, has always been favored and valued. Her status has vaguely surpassed that of the eldest maids who have given birth to a family. Even Qing Xing, the confidant brought back from the northwest, was not as good as Feng'er now when she was still in the mansion. She was neither born from a family nor had relatives and friends in the two marquises of the Qin family. She was truly careless and could not buy anyone's face, but no one could ignore her. Everyone knows that Feng'er has a weight in front of the third girl Qin Hanzhen and cannot be offended easily. Therefore, if Feng'er is kind to them, they will be flattered; if Feng'er has a stern face to them, then no one dares to make her angry again.

The wife who was worried about trouble in front quickly said to Feng'er: "The young ones ordered them to dig some bamboo shoots from the kitchen. Seeing the third girl here, I was afraid that it would disturb the third girl's quietness, so I didn't know what to do."

There are a lot of bamboo planted around Fengweixuan. Occasionally, some bamboo shoots will come to dig in the kitchen, just to make fresh. But if you want to eat good bamboo shoots seriously, you still have to rely on several farms in the suburbs of Beijing to send them over. Feng'er did not intend to let these two wives dig bamboo shoots nearby. Fengweixuan only has one wall, there are door holes on the left and right, and there are large windows on the front. God knows if they will find Zhao Mo hiding in the Xuan?

She said to the two wives: "Miss, please read the book quietly here for a while, don't bother her. There are also many bamboos on the grass pavilion, and probably bamboo shoots. You can dig them there."

The Caoting Pavilion is located in the other corner of the garden, much further away from Fengweixuan, and the number of bamboos planted is not as high as here, so the bamboo produced is even less. The two wives were a little disappointed when they saw that they were going to walk a little longer, but they did not dare to offend Feng'er, so they had to agree.

However, the very motivated wife was still a little reluctant to give up: "On this hot day, the third girl is reading a book in the public hall. I wonder if she is thirsty? Let's send some tea to the third girl? There are also many mosquitoes in this garden..."

Feng'er interrupted her: "Don't worry, I've prepared all the things I need. The tea is in the pavilion, and I lit a fragrance to repel mosquitoes. I have even a fan. You can leave quickly and stop making noise here." She looked at each other more, "If it makes our girls annoyed and blamed me, I'll just say a few words, and others may not be lucky enough to hide."

The wife was so ambitious that she followed her companions to the direction of the Caoting Pavilion, and she didn't dare to say a word. If those girls were occasionally acting cute when they were in the East Mansion, there would be nothing scary. She just had to be careful that the second grandmother Yao would be severely sent off because of the second girl Qin Jinhua's complaints. But now in the West Mansion, the third girl helped the wife take charge of the middle gifts, and could remove her mission in one sentence. She would never dare to offend this charming guest who held real power.

Feng'er kept watching her two wives disappear at the end of the path, and her figure was completely covered by the shadows of trees, and then she turned around with confidence. But before she could even step into the Xuan, she stopped and thought about it, and decided to stand at the Xuankou and wait. The view here is very good, and you can see when people appeared on the roads on both sides from afar, so you can warn the people in the Xuan in time.

By the way, she could also avoid making a candle, which was still very bright. Feng'er actually didn't understand very well, how could she be regarded as a candle? Anyway... her girl said that.

Seeing that Feng'er was not coming in, Qin Hanzhen quietly said to Zhao Mo: "The people outside have left, and it seems that they didn't notice you."

Zhao Mo sat on the ground in a very casual manner, looked up and smiled at her: "Feng'er didn't drive me away! She didn't tell us, but drove the people away and didn't enter the house again. I was so surprised. Is that really Feng'er?"

Qin Han really angrily glanced at him, and told him with a slightly red cheek that this was because they were now considered to be a marriage contract. As Feng'er's future husband, his identity is different from the past, so his treatment will also improve.

Zhao Mo laughed: "That's great. To be honest, I'm a little afraid of her. Every time I approach you, my cousin, she looks like she wants to beat me up. If she won't show such a look to me again in the future, I will be relieved."

Qin Hanzhen glanced at him and held back the smile on his lips: "It's hard to say this. Although she treats you a little respect now, if you continue to owe you like this, it's hard to say whether she will be angry with you again. I really punch you. I have something to say first. She is my girl and beat someone up to protect the Lord. I may not blame her for you."

Zhao Mo was surprised: "What does it mean to be owed?"

Qin Hanzhen grimaced at him: "It's the frivolous words you just said. You never said this in front of me before."

Zhao Mo smiled and said, "What was the same in the past? You were my cousin before, and I would treat you with courtesy. Now you are my fiancée. Sooner or later, you will be a family, so naturally your own family doesn't need to be polite."

Qin Hanzhen spat at him: "Who is a family with you? When I really marry you, it will be not too late for you to say this!"

Zhao Mo held her hand and smiled, "Isn't that a matter of time? The wedding date will be next year."

Qin Hanzhen could only roll his eyes again, and then urged him to get up quickly: "I haven't seen it swept across the ground for a long time. Are you still wearing a new dress? Is it so dirty when I sit on the ground like this?"

Zhao Mo looked down at the hem of his clothes: "It's okay. People should be cleaning your Fengwei Xuan every day, right? There is also a roof that can shelter from the wind and rain, so the dust in the Xuan is naturally much less than that outside. I am very comfortable and comfortable now and don't want to make trouble. Otherwise, someone will come out soon and I will have to hide again. It would be better to be like now, when people outside cannot see me, I can hold my cousin's hand and speak well."

Qin Hanzhen turned his head away with embarrassment, and his lips curled slightly: "What do you want to say to me?"

Zhao Mo put his elbow on his knees, supported his chin, and looked at her with a smile: "It's okay to say anything. I'm free today and haven't seen you for so long. I'm just here to spend a while with you."

Qin Hanzhen said angrily: "You have been here for a long time and will be discovered sooner or later. If you don't say anything else, everyone will see you going to the East Mansion. If you don't see you and leave for a long time, outsiders won't ask, wouldn't the elders of the East Mansion still say it? If they go to Zheguitai to ask the cousin, you will be in trouble if you don't need to say anything."

Zhao Mo didn't care: "If you miss it, just miss it. Could it be that they still have to tell the matter?"

For the sake of the reputation of the Qin family, the female family of the Qin family will definitely help conceal it. Maybe they will order their subordinates not to discuss it privately. Zhao Mo knew the entanglement and did not take it seriously. It was just that Qin Han was a little thin-skinned. Even if outsiders didn't know it, just the jokes between the elders and brothers and sisters in the East Mansion were enough to make her shy.

Qin Han glared at Zhao Mo again in anger and decided to change the topic again: "I went to the palace before, and the empress dowager summoned me there. There is something a bit strange. Is there your enemy by the empress dowager next to you? There is also Wu Siyan, I wonder if you recognize him?" She told Zhao Mo all the experience of entering the palace. In order to ensure that Zhao Mo could get enough information, she told him everything in detail.

Zhao Mo told her: "Wu Siyan is not very familiar with me, but she is also a common meeting. She treats me very respectfully. I bid to repay you and the rewards she gave her are quite generous. She is still reliable, but it may be a bit contagious. However, the people in the palace are normal and it is no big deal. As for the person who mentioned you in front of the Queen Mother..." He paused and felt a little unhappy, "It's probably not that kind of intention, but I don't know what he intended. Just leave this to me, don't worry."

Qin Hanzhen said, "I have nothing to bother with you, and the empress dowager doesn't mean anything to me anyway. Although the person who doesn't know his identity seems to have bad intentions, as long as the empress dowager doesn't listen to him, there is nothing to worry about."

Zhao Mo smiled and said to her: "Even if the Queen Mother made things difficult for you that day, there was nothing to worry about. If it weren't for the fact that you left Cining Palace earlier, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would have arrived to save you."

Qin Han was really surprised: "Your Highness the Crown Prince? You mean that the Crown Prince was... who rushed to Cining Palace to save me that day?!"

Zhao Mo smiled and said, "I was in the Eastern Palace that day. When I heard that you were summoned by the Queen Mother, I begged the prince. Unfortunately, the news in the palace spread a little slower. It was too late when I learned about this. Fortunately, the Queen Mother never made things difficult for you."

Qin Hanzhen sighed: "The prince is busy with everything he wants, and the government is busy enough, and he is in poor health. Why do you have to work on me for a little bit of work? Besides, the empress dowager has no reason to make things difficult for me?"

"The Queen Mother may not make things difficult for you." Zhao Mo said, "but she might give you a nanny. What should I do then?"

Qin Hanzhen was stunned.
