Chapter 639
Halfway through the carriage, I heard someone blocking the carriage: "Is Miss Xiao in the carriage?"

A guard came forward to inquire with the woman who stopped the car, and then came back and reported: "Girl, Ning Yushi's wife is resting in the teahouse in front. I would like to invite the girl to sit in the box."

The temperature in the carriage suddenly became tense, and everyone looked at Xiao Mingzhu's face carefully.They all know about Madam Ning's relationship with the Lin family.The girl's wedding ceremony was posted to the Ning family, but none of the masters of the Ning family came to congratulate, they just sent a servant to send a general gift, which seemed extraordinarily authentic.

"Girl..." Nanny Shang cautiously probed under the eyes of everyone.

Xiao Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "It's okay to be idle, just go for a while."

It doesn't matter whether it's a chance encounter, or just looking at her, in the end, she still couldn't overcome the entanglement in her heart, and wanted to understand Madam Ning's intention to stop her halfway.

Is it because my father has nothing to do with his official position now, so there is no need to avoid suspicion, or is there something else?
Xiao Mingzhu got off the carriage in front of the teahouse, followed the woman who stopped the carriage, and went up to the box on the second floor.As soon as the door of the private room was opened, Xiao Mingzhu found that the person sitting in the hall was not Mrs. Ning, but a strange plump lady. The lady was not in her thirties, and she was dressed very delicately, but her face was covered with makeup. , traces of erosion by wind and sand.When the lady heard the movement by the door, she turned her head and looked over, her eyes were extremely sharp, which made people feel oppressed.

However, this is only for ordinary people.

Xiao Mingzhu frowned slightly when she saw that there was something wrong with the people in the private room, while Madam Shang made a quick move, grabbed the leading woman by the neck, pointed at Sang and scolded Huai Huai and shouted: "You are so brave, since you dare to pretend to be Mrs. Ning's reputation Tricked. Someone came and twisted her to go to the yamen."

The woman's feet were so frightened that she hurriedly asked the lady in the box for help: "Mrs. Lin, it was Mrs. Lin who sent this old slave."

The lady in the hall didn't expect that Nanny Shang would act so neatly, her face showed surprise, but she soon calmed down, she didn't speak, she didn't even move, her eyes fell on Xiao Mingzhu's body .

Probably waiting to see Xiao Mingzhu's reaction when she heard her identity.

Hearing the mother-in-law call the lady Mrs. Lin, and thinking that this woman was someone close to Mrs. Ning, Xiao Mingzhu instantly understood that this Mrs. Lin was not her own aunt, but also her cousin.No wonder she dared to lie to herself in Madam Ning's name.

However, what about the surname Lin, instead of reporting her name openly, but using such a small method, whether it is a temptation or unavoidable suffering, she cannot understand and agree with it.

Xiao Mingzhu didn't enter the house either, and she smiled apologetically at Mrs. Lin: "Since Mrs. Ning is not here, I won't bother you." After that, she gave Mrs. Lin a blessing, turned around and left. Give people time to react.

Nanny Shang let go of her hand and followed closely.Mrs. Lin in the house did not expect Xiao Mingzhu to act like this, she reacted and got up to chase, but the soft-legged woman fell to the door and blocked her way, looking at Xiao Mingzhu's back, she wanted to shout, but under the eyes of everyone She couldn't yell again, and after she angrily called someone to drag the mother-in-law away, Xiao Mingzhu was nowhere to be found.

Xiao Mingzhu left the teahouse, but she didn't hear a voice calling her back from behind. Her heart dropped into an ice hole.After getting on the carriage, she still called a woman and told her to keep an eye on the box quietly. If Mrs. Lin left or someone entered, she would immediately go to Rouge Manor to report to her.

The carriage drove away from the teahouse, and Nanny Shang asked in a low voice, "Miss, do you want to go to Yanzhi Village to wait for news?"

Xiao Mingzhu sneered twice: "Yes."

After getting the news, she knew what to do next.

In the end, she still wanted to know Madam Lin's intention to block her, and even more what role Madam Ning played in it.

However, thinking about it carefully, her whole heart was cold.

Did they regard themselves as relatives? Just now, if Mrs. Lin called her, as a junior, would she not turn around and go back?It's something that can be explained clearly in one sentence, why does Mrs. Lin come to probe like this, what is she thinking about, or what is she planning.

Seeing that her complexion was wrong, all the sense of oppression in her body was released, and the carriage was quiet, no one dared to ask a word.

Arriving at Yanzhizhuang, shopkeeper Wan, who was full of smiles, was shocked when he saw her like this, and hurriedly led Xiao Mingzhu to the second floor.After entering the small guest room on the second floor and closing the door, shopkeeper Wan stood by the door with his hands down: "What do you want, Miss?"

Xiao Mingzhu shook his head: "Nothing, I'll lend you a seat. If anyone comes to ask, just tell me that I'll come over to see the new powder." Shopkeeper Wan quickly agreed, turned around and went out. After a while, he gave away all the latest powder. over here.Xiao Mingzhu took the powder box and looked at it one by one. If nothing happened, she picked out a few and tried the color on the back of her hand.

After seeing everything, her mood seemed to have calmed down.

She has been ostentatious enough along the way, anyone who wants to inquire will know that she has come to Yanzhizhuang. If Mrs. Lin really needs her for something, she will definitely follow her. She just needs to wait here for a while.

After a while, the mother-in-law who stayed behind came back.

That woman looked inconspicuous, but she was very careful in her work. According to her inquiry with the owner of the restaurant, Mrs. Ning booked the box in the restaurant, and not only Mrs. Lin, but also three young girls came with her.She also quietly overheard that after Mrs. Ning went back, she learned from her mother-in-law that Mrs. Lin had cheated Xiao Mingzhu, and said something to Mrs. Lin out of dissatisfaction.

It seems that Mrs. Ning is not aware of Mrs. Lin's actions.

Xiao Mingzhu asked Nanny Shang to reward the woman with a piece of silver.

After about a quarter of an hour, Mammy Shang who was watching the movement on the street by the window turned her head and said, "Girl, the Ning family's carriage is here."

Xiao Mingzhu got up and went to the side, looking out through the window, Mrs. Ning had already got off the carriage, and beside her were the three girls that the mother-in-law had mentioned.Among them, the girl in the crescent white jacket was the oldest, about eighteen or nineteen years old, although she had a smile on her face, there was an unconcealable resentment between her brows and eyes; They were almost made out of the same mold, and the youngest girl in the cherry-red gourd double-blessing moon skirt was actually five points similar to her.

Xiao Mingzhu couldn't help but glance at the youngest girl a few more times, and she had a vague guess in her heart that this little girl was probably the Lin family, a close relative connected to her by blood.Although she was shocked by the magic of blood, she had no intention of approaching him to get to know each other.
