After I got into the drama, I led the plot astray

When I saw Gongsun Wen leave, my anger inexplicably subsided.

I found that I was becoming less and less able to control my temper, as if I had become a completely different person.

Am I influenced by the original owner?

The series of events that have happened in the past few days have exhausted me.

I sighed helplessly and said, "Then let's have breakfast first."

Yiping happily jumped to the table and took out the food from the basket.

It was a pot of millet porridge, a few side dishes and a plate of golden fried millet cake.

The food looked so good and smelled so good that my mouth was almost watering.

This is what humans eat. The food that the Zhao family prepared for me is simply for feeding pigs!

I quickly sat down, took the bowl that Yiping handed over, drank a few big gulps, then exhaled a long breath and said, "Comfortable!"

Yiping put some side dishes in my bowl and said, "The chef in Gongsun Mansion is much better than the one in the General's Mansion. Not only is the food delicious, but he is not snobbish. Not only did he pack all the food for me, he also told me that I could get more if I didn't have enough."

I rolled my eyes at her and said, "I think you have completely forgotten about the murder of your friend."

Yiping smacked her lips and said, "Second sister, I know you are very sad that Brother Ergou died, but this was really an accident, so don't put all the blame on Lord Gongsun."

When I heard this, I slapped the table and said, "You idiot, don't you forget that I am your sister? How dare you help outsiders to criticize your own sister?"

Yiping shrank her head, picked up a piece of spicy and refreshing arugula and put it in my bowl, saying, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything more. Just eat it."

I snorted and said, "You look quite smart, but why can't you tell friend from foe?"

Yiping muttered in a low voice: "You can't tell friend from foe."

Although I couldn't hear clearly what she said, I could see the dissatisfaction written all over her face.

This guy has the same stubborn temper as me, and he responds to soft words rather than hard ones.

I had no choice but to say, "Eat quickly, and then we'll go to the General's Mansion to take a look."

Yiping suddenly raised his head, his eyes full of disbelief, and said vaguely: "What are you going to the general's mansion for?"

I said, "I want to find out why they framed me for murder."

Yiping swallowed the porridge in her mouth with difficulty, rolled her eyes, and said unhappily: "If you were not my biological sister, I would really think you were crazy."

I widened my eyes and said, "You are the one with a burnt brain. How can you talk like that? You have no respect for your parents."

Yiping finished the porridge in two or three mouthfuls and said, "The yard outside hasn't been cleaned yet, I'm going to sweep the floor."

After saying that, before I could react, he stood up and jumped out like a rabbit.

Just as she jumped to the door, a servant walked in from outside. Yiping almost bumped into him head-on. Fortunately, Yiping was agile and stopped in time.

The servant was also startled by Yiping. When he saw clearly that it was Yiping, he patted his chest and said, "Oh, it turns out to be Miss Zhao. She is really lively, haha."

Yiping smiled embarrassedly and stepped aside.

The servant walked straight to my side, bowed to me, and said, "Mr. Zhao, our master wants to see you."

I wanted to say no, but seeing Yiping blinking at me, I had to say, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

The servant still said politely: "As for why the master wants to see you, I don't know. I am just responsible for delivering the message."

I had no choice but to put down the bowl, stood up, and said, "He has so many things to do. He just kept silent about what he had to say, and now he has sent someone to look for me."

The servant bent over and didn't dare to answer, but just made a gesture of invitation.

In fact, I was only half full. I touched my half-empty stomach, grabbed a piece of millet cake, and said, "Lead the way."

The servant looked at my greasy hands, turned his head away immediately, and led the way in front without saying a word.

Unexpectedly, the servants in Gongsun Mansion are just as Yiping said, "much better" than those in the General's Mansion. They are knowledgeable and don't talk much.

I have seen Gongsun Wen's mansion on TV. Although it is not very grand, it is spacious and unique, which is very consistent with his aloof and awkward personality.

Our small courtyard is located next to a lotus pond, next to which is a large chrysanthemum field. It is autumn now, and the chrysanthemums are in full bloom, yellow, purple, pink, tall, short, thin, fat, all kinds of colors, it is simply beautiful.

No wonder I could smell the faint scent of flowers in the house. It turns out there is a large chrysanthemum field outside the house.

The Gongsun Mansion is divided into four small courtyards in the east, south, west and north, named after plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum respectively. I guess the courtyard I live in is the Chrysanthemum Courtyard.

A wooden bridge was built over the lotus pond, and the servants took us across the bridge.

The lotus had almost dried up, revealing the dark brown water in the pond.

Under the dark brown water of the pond, there are many fat koi swimming around.

I pointed at the fish and said to Yiping, "I am best at making sweet and sour carp. I will make it for you next time."

The servant walking in front paused, resisted the urge to persuade, gritted his teeth and continued to lead the way.

After crossing the wooden bridge and passing through an archway, I walked into a plum forest.

It’s a pity that it’s still autumn and the plum blossoms haven’t bloomed yet, otherwise the scenery would be absolutely stunning!

I know that Gongsun Wen lives in Meiyuan.

Sure enough, after walking for a while, I saw a pavilion.

The pavilion is very simple, with only four pillars and a canopy. But this damn simplicity forms a beautiful scenery with the surrounding scenery.

Just like Gongsun Wen, no matter how casually he is dressed, he is an eye-catching sight wherever he stands.

There were two people sitting around a table in the pavilion. One of them was naturally Gongsun Wen, and the other one was sitting with his back to us, so we couldn't tell who he was.

When we were almost at the pavilion, the servant walked in quickly, saluted the man who was carrying us, then saluted Gongsun Wen, and said, "Sir, Master Zhao has arrived."

Gongsun Wen waved his hand.

The servant trotted over to us, bowed to us, and said, "Your Excellency invites you."

The ancients were troublesome. When they met someone, they had to find someone to pass the message around.

I don't know much about ancient etiquette, but seeing how polite the servant was, I followed his example and bowed, saying, "Thank you."

The servant smiled at me and gestured for me to come in.

I took Yiping's hand and walked towards the pavilion.

Yiping said in a low voice with some worry: "Second brother, don't talk nonsense later, otherwise I will ignore you in the future."

I rolled my eyes. I never thought that a 30-year-old woman like me would need a 10-year-old kid to remind me. Suddenly, I felt a little down on myself.

As we entered the pavilion, the man with his back to us suddenly turned his head and smiled brighter than a chrysanthemum, his eyes and eyebrows squeezed together, and said loudly: "Little brother, we meet again!"

Isn’t this Zheng Xian?

Why did he come to Gongsun Mansion?

I stared at Zheng Xian in amazement.

Isn’t it said that the emperor is very busy and has endless memorials to review every day?

How come I can see him everywhere?

But he came at the right time. I was annoyed that he threw us onto the street. If he hadn't thrown us onto the street, maybe we wouldn't have to run away, and Ergou wouldn't have died.
