"Xiao Ling, how are you?" Tuoba Feng smiled gently as he plucked a peach blossom and placed it beside Xiao Ling's ear.""I was really frightened just now. I didn't expect it to be like this.”
As she spoke, she leaned over apologetically and whispered," That woman and I have never been on good terms. It was Mother who told me to break through them, but I didn't expect them to do such a thing..."
Xiao Ling was shocked again, but he suppressed it and held Tuoba Feng's hand.""You really scared me. Next time, don't do this.”
However, she saw that Tuoba Feng's chest was slightly swollen. It seemed like there was something there. It was probably that the girl's thing had been taken by Tuoba Feng.
That girl was going to be unlucky. The thing that was close to her was a woman's chastity.
"What a coincidence." A laughter sounded,""I wonder if this fragrance is pungent?”
Xiao Ling turned his head slightly and was greeted by the soft laughter around him. He happened to see the young lady who had spoken to him just now. Xiao Qing was beside her. Her status was clearly not as high as hers, and she seemed to be fuming. When she saw Xiao Ling, she glared at him.
The fourth girl, Xiao Feng, the fifth girl, Xiao Xun, and the sixth girl, Xiao Mo, followed behind him, but they did not see the seventh girl, Xiao Chun.
Xiao Ling's eyes darted around, but he still did not see her. The lady smiled."The younger sisters are really having a good time shopping. Why don't we go back with elder sister?”"The banquet is about to begin."”
There was another burst of laughter around them, but no one knew who they were laughing at.
Tuoba Feng did not say anything either. He was probably not familiar with this lady. Xiao Ling blushed and smiled."Miss Tuoba and I were just thinking about the light. The scenery of this garden is very good. Just now, we saw a group of girls go over.”
When the lady heard this, she smiled lightly,""You're lucky that we've been shopping until now.”Then, he turned around and said,"It's getting late. Let's go together."”
Xiao Ling bowed to the lady and followed Tuoba Feng.
"Just die of stupidity." "I really don't know why Mother brought you out!" Xiao Qing looked at her coldly.”
Xiao Ling listened without saying anything. He turned to Xiao Xun and said,""Fifth Younger Sister, did you see Seventh Younger Sister?”
"I didn't see it." Xiao Xun frowned.”He glanced at the people around him and said impatiently,""You're an elder sister. Why are you so reckless? Why are you asking me if you can't keep an eye on your sister?!"
Xiao Ling pretended he did not see it and turned to ask the sixth girl, Xiao Mo, who shook her head.""Didn't Seventh Younger Sister leave with Third Older Sister? You disappeared together."
Xiao Ling muttered to himself. He had a bad feeling.
Xiao Chun disappeared with her? However, she did not see Xiao Chun's shadow!
"Probably Seventh Younger Sister walked back by herself.”Xiao Mo, who had a gentle personality, whispered,""Let's go back to Mother and ask.”
Xiao Xun sneered." Sixth Younger Sister, you make it sound simple. What if I don't see Sixth Younger Sister when I go back?"”
Xiao Feng, who was at the side, mocked,"You're just out for a trip, and you can't even find the way yourself?" He was really stupid and embarrassing.”
The Sixth Young Lady's face turned a little pale. There were outsiders around them, and they were arguing without any scruples. She was afraid that many people would despise them.
As she thought about it, she looked up at Xiao Ling. He did not seem to be angry, so she heaved a sigh of relief. However, she was also a little confused. Third Miss Xiao had never been at a disadvantage in the past. What was wrong with her recently?
"Third Young Lady, don't worry. Seventh Younger Sister knows her limits. She probably went with someone else.”The sixth girl, Xiao Mo, leaned over and smiled at Xiao Ling.""There are also a few girls who can't be seen. They probably went out for a walk.”
Xiao Ling felt a chill in his heart.
Could it be that Miss Chen did not just want to get rid of him? Was there still a seventh sister? Thinking about it, it was about the same. In his previous life, Seventh Sister seemed to have encountered something, but later on, the danger was averted.
After taking a few steps, the lady in front suddenly stopped.
It was a young servant girl who had stopped in front. She had probably bumped into the young lady and seemed to have bumped into someone else in her panic. She was apologizing non-stop and retreating timidly.
"Are you blind?" The lady frowned and her attitude turned cold."How are you walking? Why are you so flustered!"
This was the first time Xiao Ling had seen this lady angry. She was obviously the leader of a group of people. She had a temper and was very intimidating. The little girl's eyes were teary and she was about to cry. Xiao Ling could not bear it, but he saw the servant girl's eyes.
It was a very familiar feeling.
Xiao Ling was stunned, just like how Tenth Concubine looked when she handed him the medicine that day.
"Raise your head!" Xiao Ling suddenly jumped out of the group and shouted coldly with a frown.
The ladies were shocked. They did not expect Xiao Ling, who had been quiet all this time, to have such an imposing manner. The maidservant lowered her head and did not look up. She even took a few steps back. Tuoba Feng, who was beside Xiao Ling, followed him out and quickly grabbed the maidservant's hand.
Xiao Qing frowned at that moment, as if she despised Xiao Ling. She frowned and was about to speak, but was stopped by the girl's gaze. At that moment, Xiao Ling was staring at the girl and repeating,""Raise your head!"
Seeing that she really couldn't hide, the servant girl slowly raised her head.
If Xiao Ling had not been staring at her, he would not have noticed that she had been carefully retracting her hand and sleeve. There was clearly something hidden in her sleeve!
"What did you take!" Xiao Ling went over to grab her hand, but for some reason, Tuoba Feng let out a scream and flung her hand away. The girl ran away in an instant.
"Stop right there!" Tuoba Feng was enraged.
Just as he was about to chase after her, the servant girl stepped aside and fell to the ground. Two handkerchief fell out of her sleeve.
The lady raised her eyebrows and looked at a pink handkerchief. Her fingers gently stirred it. As expected, her sleeve was empty.
When he looked at Xiao Ling again, his eyes were solemn.
Xiao Ling glanced at the aqua blue embroidered handkerchief and frowned. He remembered that his seventh sister had been twisting the aqua blue embroidered handkerchief when she got into the car. Could it be this one?
However, who ordered this servant girl? What was he trying to do? If it was just Miss Chen, how would she dare to provoke this lady? Who didn't know that this lady had a strong background?
"Sorry for offending you ladies." Suddenly, there was a sound from the side. A white-robed youth had appeared in front of them at some point in time. He had an elegant demeanor and a face like Pan An, giving off a bright and warm feeling.
He picked up the embroidered handkerchief and walked toward the three people standing in front of him. He raised his hand and handed both of them to Xiao Ling.
Xiao Ling took it and thanked the young man.
Tuoba Feng, who was beside him, blushed. He tugged at Xiao Ling's sleeve and did not dare to speak. The young lady beside him also bowed with a calm expression.
Xiao Ling was a little cautious when he saw the young lady's reaction. After all, he was from an aristocratic family, so it was impossible for him not to understand what was going on. However, ever since the young man appeared, the young lady's expression had been indifferent. She had no intention of pursuing the matter. Could it be that this young man had some sort of background?
"The weather is getting colder," the young man replied,"so you ladies shouldn't covet beauty."”
With that, the young man left with the servant girl.
It wasn't until the young man disappeared that the young ladies around him gathered around and started to discuss the matter. Xiao Qing was left behind coldly, and her expression was ugly.
The leading lady merely waved her hand. The rest of the ladies did not say anything and followed her back. However, Xiao Ling could clearly feel that there were more gazes on him. However, she did not say anything and continued to pull Tuoba Feng along.
Tuoba Feng, on the other hand, had a fiery personality. When she saw others looking at her, she would glare back at them. The young ladies also hid in embarrassment. However, Xiao Ling signaled her not to cause any more trouble. After all, the young man had vaguely mentioned it earlier and asked them to go back quickly.
After all, they had experienced too much today. Just thinking about it made them feel cold all over.
After experiencing such a thing, the young ladies were not in the mood to continue staying. Their footsteps were a little flustered. When they returned to the courtyard, they bumped into a few servant girls.
"What happened? Why are you so flustered?" The young lady in front looked down and read softly.
The little girl was shocked when she heard that. She immediately bowed and said,"Replying to all the young ladies, this servant was ordered to find all the young ladies.”
Although the girl spoke softly, Xiao Ling could see the joy in her eyes.
Xiao Ling found it strange. After all, this was a banquet. Why would the host look for guests? But this assistant minister's wife just had to do it. Something must have happened, right?
However, Xiao Ling frowned and thought for a long time, but he could not figure out what had happened. He thought to himself,'It seems that I did not experience such a thing the last time. That's why there's such a change in this life. Or rather, I was so troubled by the last time that I did not have the time to pay attention to it.'
Looking at the intentions of the people from the assistant minister's residence, they did not dare to make a big deal out of it. They only wanted to send a servant girl out to look for her. Although the guest would be uncomfortable, it could still be hidden a little.
Xiao Ling frowned as he thought about it. However, he did not expect to see Xiao Qing's stiff expression when he turned his head. Her face was even a little pale. His heart skipped a beat. Xiao Qing clearly knew something!
When he looked again, Xiao Qing's expression had returned to normal, as if he had seen wrongly.
Tuoba Feng, who was standing beside her, gently squeezed her palm. Xiao Ling turned around and felt something in his palm. She rubbed it and realized that it was a ring. With a thought, Xiao Ling put it away.
However, as soon as he arrived at the door of the room, he felt a heavy and oppressive atmosphere.
The ladies, who were already worried, did not dare to act rashly. Their faces were pale. They were frightened. None of them dared to speak. They only bid farewell to the handkerchief beside them. Xiao Ling did the same. He lifted the hem of his skirt and walked to his mother's side.
