During the banquet, Mrs. Wei frequently looked at the garden.
My daughter has been away for more than half an hour, why hasn't she come back yet? There are other things going on, so what will happen if she doesn't come back?
Just as she was thinking about it, she saw a maid hurried over and winked at her.
Mrs. Wei Er looked around. Everyone was talking together because of Miss Cen San falling into the water. No one noticed her, so she quietly left the table and went to the corner to talk.
"What's up?"
"There was a message from the front that the prince has gone to Wangjiang Tower, but the servant did not find the fourth lady."
According to the plan, she should report to the fourth lady and follow her arrangements. Now she can't find anyone, so she can only find the second lady.
Mrs. Wei was a little anxious when she heard this: "Isn't the Fourth Miss in Lanzhi Tower? What about the Water Pavilion?"
The maid replied: "There is no one in the water pavilion anymore, and the fourth lady is not here either."
Mrs. Wei felt a little more relieved after hearing this. There was no one in the water pavilion, which meant that Miss Xu had sent her away and the plan was still going on as usual. As for her daughter not being in Lanzhi Building, she was more inclined to think that there was some emergency.
After all, Wangjiang Tower belongs to the Wei family. If something happens, there won't be any movement at all.
"Second Madam, what should I do? The prince has already gone, I'm afraid it will be too late to find the young lady." The girl asked for instructions again.
Mrs. Wei Er said: "Then there's no need to wait, just start as planned."
"Yes." The girl was relieved, and hurriedly went to do her work.
Mrs. Wei returned to the banquet and winked at a lady.
The lady understood what she was thinking and asked with a smile: "Why is Miss Wei Si still okay? Is there some difficulty?"
Mrs. Wei Er raised her glass to her and replied with a smile: "It's nothing, it's just that the girl brought the wrong clothes. She has to wait a little longer."
The lady nodded and said, "It's okay. It's a busy day today. It would be a pity if Miss Wei Si missed it."
Mrs. Wei Er said yes.
After saying this, the lady seemed to have noticed it. She turned to look at the Xu family's position and wondered: "Why didn't Miss Xu come back? The princess came back long ago."
Mrs. Wei Er said nothing, there was no need for her to take up this topic.
Sure enough, someone else immediately took up the conversation: "Yes! Miss Cen San fell into the water just now, and the princess rushed back immediately, but Miss Xu was nowhere to be seen. Could it be that she went to the garden?"
After everyone heard this, they couldn't help but murmur in their hearts. Miss Cen San is the prince's cousin. She was so anxious that the princess fell into the water, but Miss Xu didn't come back to take a look. It was indeed rude.
It was really inappropriate for a candidate like her to do such a thing during the critical period when she was deciding on her marriage. What important matter made her ignore Miss Cen San's fall into the water?
Among the noble ladies present, there were also a few who left the table to have fun. At this moment, they all said, "Isn't it possible? I didn't see her just now. Sister Zhu, what about you?"
"I didn't see it either."
"Me too."
There were several people in a pair, but none of them saw Miss Xu, and they couldn't help but look at each other in shock.
Someone said: "Miss Xu left the banquet with the princess, so she should be fine, right?"
This statement was immediately refuted: "But the princess has been back for a long time. If nothing is wrong, why hasn't she returned yet?"
At this point, Mrs. Wei Er, the host, "had to" come forward: "Don't worry, everyone, I will ask the girls to look for it."
She called the maids who came to pour the wine and gave the order. One of them looked hesitant and stepped forward and replied: "Second Madam, I just saw Miss Xu."
Hearing what she said, everyone turned their eyes over.
But I heard the maid reply: "I just went to get wine and saw a young lady going to Wangjiang Tower. Looking at her clothes, she looked like Miss Xu."
Mrs. Wei Er breathed a sigh of relief and said to everyone with a smile: "I think Miss Xu has never seen Jiang Jing, so she went to have a look and find someone."
Everyone felt relieved, and someone answered with a smile: "Your Wangjiang Tower is one of the best in Jiangdu. Except for Chaoyuan, no one else can match it."
"Yes! Otherwise, the palace wouldn't come to borrow the place, right?"
"But Miss Xu is too anxious. After the banquet, we have to go upstairs to enjoy the view. We can't wait for a while."
"Perhaps she thinks there are too many people? When the time comes, men and women will have to go upstairs separately. Maybe she finds it troublesome."
After chatting for a while, Mrs. Wei Er asked again: "Is Miss Cen San feeling better?"
The maid replied: "Miss Cen San has already changed her clothes and said she would be back!"
Since she was able to come back, it meant that she was fine, and the ladies started laughing and making trouble.
"This Cen San just wants to play."
"Sister Cen San loves to play, don't you want to follow her?"
"It was really a close call just now. Fortunately, the boat lady pulled the boat out in time, otherwise she would have been frightened and sick, and she would have been in trouble."
"Don't say anything unlucky. It's best that Sister Cen San is fine."
"yes!"
After the banquet was over, the talents were displayed, and the cruise ship was cruised, someone couldn't wait to ask: "Then when will we go to Wangjiang Tower?"
Mrs. Wei Er, as half of the host family, replied: "We still have to ask the male guests. They will come first and we will go later."
"Then when will they go?"
Mrs. Wei Er couldn't answer this question, so she asked someone to ask it.
Not long after, the maid came back and reported: "The prince is not here, and they don't know."
The lady from before said "Hey" and said, "Why is the prince not here? Where has he gone?"
The maid hesitated for a moment and replied: "They said that the prince seems to have gone to Wangjiang Tower."
As soon as these words were said, the scene suddenly became quiet, and everyone showed meaningful expressions.
Oh, Wangjiang Tower!
Miss Xu also went to Wangjiang Tower before, right? No wonder.
It was quiet for a while, but after all, there was still someone who couldn't help it, and said strangely: "The prince went to Wangjiang Tower first, because the master arranged it first. Miss Xu also went first, is it possible that she is anxious to become the master now?"
No one answered. After all, looking at it like this, Miss Xu is most likely to be the crown prince's concubine, and will be the mistress of Dongjiang in the future. It is not their turn to make irresponsible remarks.
Mrs. Wei second made peace: "Maybe there is some inconvenience. This is human nature."
"Haha, Mrs. Wei Er, you are kind-hearted. I borrowed your Wangjiang Tower and still shame you. This is too..."
Even though Miss Xu is about to become the Crown Princess, she is still an outsider after all, and their relationship with the Wei family is considered close. When she said this now, everyone felt the same.
That's right! The Wei family was in such a miserable state. I originally thought that the Crown Princess was theirs, but the palace suddenly changed its mind. They just used his family's garden to hold a banquet, and even had a private meeting in his family's most famous Wangjiang Tower.
…
The prince is the master, so they have nothing to say, but Miss Xu has not yet become the prince's concubine. This is simply too much!
