As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Su was stunned by the scene in front of him.
Guo Huan…
Of course, he was there.
After all, he and his young master were very careful. They confirmed that they had not mistaken the room and that Guo Huan had no chance of escaping through the front and back doors.
But the problem was… Guo Huan was not the only one in the room.
The Wei family was also there!
Old Madam Wei, Madam Chu, Madam Li, Madam Chen, Madam Lan, Madam Jiang, and Nanny Li, who was serving tea, looked at him in confusion.
Fu Su’s foot, which had yet to retract after kicking the door, froze in midair. He could neither move nor stay on the spot.
Madam Lan frowned and said, “Fu Su, you’re so bold. You even dare to kick the door down!
Old Madam Wei glared at Fu Su. “The guard in the residence.”
Fu Su used to be a secret guard by Matriarch Wei’s side. Later on, she was sent by Matriarch Wei to protect Wei Ting… In fact, he was keeping an eye on Wei Ting and gradually became a blatant guard.
Guo Huan looked at Fu Su in shock. “Were you… calling me just now?”
“I… well…”
Fu Su was speechless. He retreated and flashed to Wei Ting’s side. He asked in a voice that was only meant to be heard by Wei Ting, “Young Master, what should we do?”
Wei Ting’s lips did not move as he squeezed out a few words from between his teeth. “If you ask me, who should I ask?”
Who would have thought that this would happen?
They were here to catch the mole who was meeting with the White Lotus Society. The person who appeared in this room was the mole, but now, his entire family was also there.
Was he going to arrest his entire family? “Young Master, are you still going to capture him?”
“What do you think?”
“I think it’s better not to do so… The food in prison isn’t very good..
Wei Ting was speechless.
Old Madam Wei said in a low voice, “What are the two of you muttering at the door? Since you’re here, come in and sit down!”
Wei Ting walked in calmly. “Grandmother, Sister-in-law, Second Sister-in-law, Third Sister-in-law, Fourth Sister-in-law, Fifth Sister-in-law, Nanny Li.”
He greeted them one by one.
Guo Huan was originally sitting beside Matriarch Wei. When he saw Wei Ting coming over, he knew to be polite and gave him a seat.
Wei Ting sat between him and Matriarch Wei.
Old Madam Wei said coldly, ‘You’re so rash. You’ve led a good person astray!”
It was clearly Yuchi Xiu who had led him astray. Wei Ting expressed that he would not take the blame.
“Little Seven, what happened just now?” Madam Chu asked.
Fu Su kicked the door open and shouted at Guo Huan. Not only was he rude, but he was also behaving very strangely. It was as if he knew that Guo Huan was here.
Wei Ting said without changing his expression, “Oh, I saw Cousin downstairs and came up to greet him. Fu Su was too excited to help me. Cousin, please forgive me.”
Guo Huan smiled warmly. “It’s fine. We’re all brothers.”
Matriarch Wei glared at Wei Ting. “This young brat is very naughty!”
Wei Ting automatically understood this sentence as—my precious grandson is the most obedient and handsome in the world.
“Why are Grandmother and Sisters-in-law here?” He voiced his doubts.
Madam Chu said warmly, “We picked Xiyue up this morning and bumped into
Huan’er on the way back to the residence, so we came out to eat.”
Guo Huan smiled. “I originally planned to go to the Tianxiang Restaurant opposite, but who would have thought that it would be full? I came here. I heard that the food here is not bad. It should match the appetite of the
Matriarch and Cousin-in-law.”
Wei Ting glanced at Guo Huan calmly.
Guo Huan’s smile remained without revealing any flaws.
Wei Ting looked away and picked up the teacup on the table. “What do you mean by picking up Xiyue?”
“You went out last night. You don’t know yet, right? Xiyue fell ill again last night. It’s all thanks to Seventh Sister-in-law. Otherwise, Xiyue would be in
danger ” Madam Tiano told her what happned last night sadly ” Xixmp seems to like to stay there. We’ll pick her up after class. ‘
Old Madam Wei suddenly looked at Guo Huan. “Speaking of this, you were scratched by Xiao Bai yesterday. Have you seen a doctor?” Guo Huan smiled and said, “It’s just a small injury. It’s fine.”
Wei Ting glanced at Guo Huan again.
Guo Huan met Wei Ting’s gaze openly. “I just returned to the capital and seem to have missed a lot of things. I heard that the White Lotus Society has been going against the Imperial Court recently and has infiltrated many offices in the capital. Cousin, you have to be careful.” “Eh? Seventh Sister-in-law.”
Madam Chen, who had been silent, spoke.
Her seat was closest to the window. She had just heard a familiar voice. She pushed open the window and saw that it was indeed Su Xiaoxiao. Madam Jiang quickly came over and looked down. “It’s her!”
She waved at Su Xiaoxiao. “Seventh Sister-in-law!”
Su Xiaoxiao looked up. “Fifth Sister-in-law?”
Su Xiaoxiao came up to greet them.
Knowing that she and her classmates from the Palace Academy were also out for a meal, Old Madam Wei set up a table for them in the room next door.
After the few of them sat down, Lu Hui sighed. “Ordinary people can’t book this room. Only Matriarch Wei has the influence.”
Miss Liu smiled and said, “We’ve benefited from Miss Su.”
“Miss Su, what are you thinking about?” Lu Ying noticed Su Xiaoxiao’s thoughtful expression and couldn’t help but ask.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Oh, I’m wondering if we should choose jewelry first or go for a walk first.”
What the hell? The Wei family and Guo Huan came out to eat together and Wei Ting was also there.
It was not strange for them to come out for a meal since they were relatives, but she felt that something was wrong.
After a while, she heard Lu Hui say, “By the way, Miss Zheng, are you engaged to Young Master Guo? Is this the reason why you came out to choose jewelry?
You’re getting married! ”
Zheng Yunrou lowered her head shyly.
“Really?” Miss Liu asked.
Zheng Yunrou nodded shyly.
Miss Li smiled and said, “Congratulations
Guo Huan was one of the four eligible young masters in the capital.
Although Princess Lingxi’s recent performance was a little despicable, Guo Huan was an out-and-out good man. Being able to marry him was the dream of many girls.
“But… I heard that he jinxes his wife…” Lu Ying poured cold water on her weakly.
Lu Hui’s face darkened. “How can you say that?”
Lu Ying muttered, “I didn’t say anything wrong… Something happened to his previous two fiancées… Everyone in the capital is saying that he jinxes his wife…
Zheng Yunrou’s face turned slightly pale.
Lu Hui comforted Zheng Yunrou. “Miss Zheng, don’t listen to her. She’s liked to listen to nonsense since she was young. One of them accidentally fell into the water and the other contracted smallpox. It’s just their poor luck. What does it have to do with Young Master Guo? Young Master Guo is a dragon among men.
He’s a match made in heaven with you. You don’t have to worry too much.”
The Zheng family was considered a famous family in the capital. Otherwise, they would not have been qualified to have their daughter study with the princesses.
However, in terms of a marriage alliance with the Guo family, the Zheng family
was actually out of their league. When the official media came to propose marriage, Minister Zheng was pleasantly surprised.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Zheng Yunrou, who was shy and nervous. Accidentally fell into the water? Smallpox?
After dinner, they went next door to say goodbye to Matriarch Wei and the others and planned to go for a walk.
Zheng Yunrou walked last.
When she went downstairs, she dropped her purse.
She bent down to pick it up but accidentally missed.
Just as she was about to fall down the stairs, a slender hand reached out and gently held her arm.
After she stabilized herself, Guo Huan retracted his hand in time and said politely and gently, “I’ve offended you.”
Zheng Yunrou looked at the handsome face close at hand and the gentleness between his eyebrows. She took a step back and blushed with a pounding heart.
On the other side, Su Xiaoxiao went to the backyard in the name of using the toilet.
Wei Ting and Fu Su were also there.
“What happened?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
Fu Su said bitterly, “To be honest, we’re here to capture Guo Huan today, but that guy is very cunning.. He actually dragged the Wei family down!”
