Minglan is reborn, this time with no regrets!

When Xiaotao heard that there was something delicious to eat, she was so happy that she almost dropped her book box and hurriedly pulled Minglan to the kitchen.

Minglan took the bookcase from her and said, "This way to the kitchen, we will pass by Weirui Pavilion. I am afraid that Rulan will run into me and ask me to do other things, and then I will not be able to make roasted lamb. I will go around the other side of the pond, and you go to Weirui Pavilion to find Rulan and ask her to come to the kitchen to eat together."

"There's nothing delicious in the Fifth Miss's room, why are you asking her to come and eat?" Xiao Tao was very annoyed.

"But just now in the hall, Fifth Sister asked me to make roasted lamb for her."

Xiao Tao became even more annoyed: "This Fifth Lady is really something. She wants the girls to do everything for her! She has to copy books for her, embroider knee pads for her, and even make food for her! She's like ordering servants around."

Minglan comforted her: "Okay, think about it this way. If we cook our own mutton, we will definitely be scolded by the lady! If we bring Rulan along, the lady won't say anything."

Xiao Tao thought about it and it seemed to be the case. She pouted and said, "Okay, then I'll go find her."

"Well, if you see her going to the front hall later, you must stop her."

"Of course! For the sake of roasting lamb, I will drag her over no matter what!"

The master and servant acted separately, and Xiaotao met Rulan in front of Weiruixuan after taking only two steps.

Xiao Tao: "Fifth Miss, where are you going?"

Rulan: "I'm going to the kitchen to find something to eat. Why are you alone? Where's Xiaoliu?"

Xiao Tao: "Sixth Miss has gone to the kitchen. She is cooking roasted lamb and asked me to call the girls to come and eat together."

Rulan smiled with eyes curved: "My sixth sister is still the best! Let's go quickly, I'm starving to death."

The two had just taken a few steps when they heard a series of "Ouch!" sounds from afar...

"You are a dead man, why don't you look at me on such a big staircase? What if someone sees me again?"

Molan's voice came from behind the corner.

"Yes, yes, I know I was wrong. Please be careful, young lady." This was the voice of Madam Zhou.

Rulan and Xiaotao stretched their necks to look, and saw Molan cursing a few words and then continuing to hurried to the front hall. Madam Zhou followed her, looking left and right, acting furtively.

Rulan pulled Xiaotao a few steps to catch up: "What is she going to do?"

Rulan always paid attention to Molan's movements. When she saw it was her, she didn't care about eating and secretly followed her and also wanted to go to the front hall.

Xiao Tao rolled her eyes silently, thinking that the Sixth Miss was indeed very good at predicting things. She pulled Rulan back and said, "Fifth Miss, let's not go over there. If you're any later, the roasted lamb will be cold!"

Rulan struggled hard: "She must be in such a panic because of something wrong! I must find her fault, let go!"

Xiao Tao was stronger than Ru Lan, so she held Ru Lan back and said, "If Fifth Miss does this again, I'll scream!"

Rulan paused: "How dare you!"

Xiao Tao became extremely brave in order to get a bite of food, and shouted: "Fifth Miss said that Fourth Miss was sneaky, is Fifth Miss going to imitate her?"

Rulan was startled and quickly covered Xiaotao's mouth with both hands, cursing in a low voice: "How dare you!"

Xiao Tao's eyes were wide open, but she was not afraid.

Rulan softened her tone: "Just let me go over and take a look, then I'll go eat the mutton."

Xiao Tao was unmoved: "No! If you follow me again I will call you Madam."

Rulan wanted to lose her temper again, but after thinking that she was caught, she gave up and said, "Okay, okay, I'll go with you. But..." She turned to the maid Xi Que beside her and said, "Keep an eye on Molan for me. If you see her do anything, come to the kitchen and report to me immediately!"

Magpie broke out in a cold sweat and had no choice but to obey.

After Ruolan and Xiaotao walked away, Xi Que caught up with Molan and her servant and saw Molan slipping in from the back of the front hall, while Madam Zhou walked a little further away from the door, as if keeping watch for her.

The magpie was afraid of being seen by Madam Zhou, so it did not dare to stay any longer and tiptoed back to the kitchen to tell Rulan the news.

Rulan was eating with her mouth full of oil at this time. After hearing this, she said disappointedly: "So that's what happened. It should be that her father asked her to go to the front hall to talk."

Minglan stuffed meat into Xiaotao's mouth: "If we asked her to go talk, she should go through the front door, right? Why did she go through the back door?"

Rulan stopped holding the meat and said, "Yes, why did you go through the back door? And did you need Madam Zhou to be the one to tell the truth?"

She and Minglan looked at each other, and suddenly her eyes lit up and she shouted, "She went to the front hall to peek at people!"

Minglan hurriedly held her down: "Keep your voice down!!! Who's coming to the front hall?"

When the old lady sent someone to inform Minglan, she only told her to go somewhere else and did not tell her why, so Minglan continued to pretend that she didn't know there were guests at home.

Rulan: "It's Madam Wu from the Earl of Yongchang's mansion, and she brought her sixth son Liang Han. Mother said they might be here to see each other."

Minglan: "If you want to see each other, you should openly call someone. Why did Fourth Sister go through the back door?"

Rulan: "You don't understand. Since mother didn't send anyone to call her, it must be because Madam Wu hasn't mentioned it yet. But Molan was anxious, so she went. Don't forget, she stole Brother Yuanruo's handkerchief before. She was so eager to get married!"

Rulan became more and more excited as she spoke, and was about to leave by pulling Xi Que.

Minglan pulled her sleeve with her greasy hands and said, "We haven't finished eating the mutton yet, where is Fifth Sister going?"

Rulan shook her sleeves in disgust: "Why are you pulling me? I'm going to report her!"

Minglan: "Your mouth and hands are covered in oil, and your clothes are dirty. If you go to the front hall like this, you will be scolded by your father!"

"Then I can't just watch Molan succeed, can I? She is spying on the front yard now, and she is the one who will be scolded by my father."

"If Fifth Sister goes now, wouldn't that be spying on the front yard? It would be better to have someone report it to the elders and let our parents handle it."

"That's right... Xiaoliu, you've become smarter!" Rulan was so excited that she danced with joy. "Xi Que, go quickly! Go to the front hall and report this to mother!"

Xi Que cursed herself for being so unlucky and ran back to the front hall in a sweat. She saw Madam Zhou still standing by from a distance and guessed that Molan was still in the room.

She walked around to the front door and saw the host's mother and daughter talking to guests in the main hall. They winked at Mother Liu at the door.

Seeing that it was the magpie beside Rulan, Mama Liu quietly left the main hall and asked, "What happened?"

Xi Que explained everything in detail to Mother Liu in a low voice.

Mother Liu was stunned when she heard this. She pulled Xi Que further away from the main gate and said, "Call two more maids to go with you to the back door and ask the fourth girl to leave. Remember, speak softly and don't disturb others. The brothers are talking behind the screen. If you speak louder, they will hear you and the whole family will lose face."

Madam Liu waved and called over two stout maids in the distance, saying, "Go look around this room. If you find Madam Zhou from Linqi Pavilion, invite her as well, and send her and the fourth young lady to Weirui Pavilion to wait for the eldest lady to question you."

After completing the arrangements, Mother Liu returned to the hall.

She slowed down and looked to the side. Sure enough, she saw a woman's figure at the innermost part through the heavy screens.
