Chapter 15 Doubt
The garden is full of colorful flowers and the fragrance of flowers.
Feng Cheng picked up a place to sit down, thinking about the current situation.
She remembered that after Lu Xuan returned to Beijing, he went to investigate the vendors who claimed to have met Lu Mo and her, and found that the vendors had recognized the wrong person.
The Duke Cheng's Mansion spread this discovery to relieve her stigma of elopement with Lu Mo, but rumors soon started to rise again, saying that money could make the devil push. The Duke's Mansion and the Duke's Mansion spent money to make the hawkers change their words for their reputation.
People are most interested in the gossip of famous families. In addition, they have preconceived impressions. No matter the truth, the rumors of her elopement with Lu Mo are unscathed.
But this time it's different.
On the side of Duke Cheng’s Mansion, Lu Xuan confirmed that the vendor had admitted the wrong person; on the side of the Shangshu Mansion, the news that she escaped from the kidnapper also spread.
The rumors about her elopement with Lu Mo have passed.
But this is not enough for her.
Although she gave Madam Wan a warning, she was too weak in the face of her grandmother's forced response. There were so many mysteries to be solved, she could not be trapped in this back house.
"girl."
Feng Cheng withdrew his thoughts and looked at Bai Lu.
Bai Lu carefully expressed her confusion: "Girl, you just... kicked Mama Wan away..."
No matter what happens, she will stand on the side of her master, so she can lie to Mama Wan without changing her expression, but it is false to say that she is not shocked.
The girl really kicked Mama Wan away.
With one kick, the big and thick Madam Wan flew to the door like a firecracker.
Feng Cheng had already expected Bai Lu's questions and said, "Somehow, his strength became much stronger."
"Don't the girl know the reason?" Bai Luyou opened her eyes wide.
The girl picked a flower leaf casually, frowned and was very distressed: "Yes, I can't understand what's going on."
Bai Lu was even more surprised.
It turns out that even the girl doesn't know what's going on.
Feng Cheng shouted in a low voice: "Can I be possessed by evil spirits-"
The words behind were blocked back.
Bai Lu covered Feng Cheng's mouth, and his face turned pale with horror: "Girl, you can't talk nonsense!"
The girl looked confused: "Isn't it?"
"Of course not!" The maid who had always been calm shook her head in a panic, fearing that her master would say something terrible.
"Then what's going on with me?"
Seeing that the master was still thinking, Bai Lu had a flash of inspiration: "I understand!"
Feng Cheng looked at her.
"You eat more now, and you eat more energy."
Feng Cheng's mouth twitched quickly, and his expression was relieved: "So that's how it is."
Bai Lu replied seriously: "That's it."
The girl is too simple and doesn't know how much disaster a word like being possessed will cause if it spreads to a meeting.
In the future, she must protect the girl, and even if she is strong, she is hysterical like Madam Wan.
Feng Cheng sighed.
She really couldn't explain these changes, and it was impossible to hide them from her personal maid, so she had to accept them.
"Bai Lu."
"I'm here." Bai Lu returned to her steady appearance.
The girl's fair fingers unconsciously rubbed the flowers and leaves: "The day I disappeared, did I lose some gold and silver jewelry?"
Bai Lu looked solemn: "Yes, some of the jewelry and silver that you put next to the dressing table for your daily wear are gone, there is a red agate bracelet and a pair of red gold flower hairpins..."
"That's how it is." Feng Cheng lowered his eyes and stared at his fingertips that were dyed with redness and pondered.
On weekdays, only reeds and white dew are served by her. The clothes and jewelry are all covered with white dew.
If the person who set up this game wants her to elope, it is more convincing. In fact, it is said that she should take away the precious jewelry, but what she loses is a few pieces of jewelry that are placed in the box at will, which means that the other party has not received the conditions for the precious jewelry locked in the cage.
Feng Cheng recalled the scene of the day he disappeared.
My cousin came to find her early, and the two of them used some snacks together in the late autumn residence before leaving.
If you talk about it, the one who has the chance to take away those jewelry may be the servants of the Late Qiuju, who may have slipped into the mansion of the Late Qiuju after discovering that she was missing, or anyone else who sneaked into the Late Qiuju's mansion in the chaos, or maybe... cousin.
After experiencing life and death, she is no longer the Miss Feng who only knows how to act coquettishly and enjoy flowers and roast venison. She dares to doubt anyone, instead of preconceivedly deciding that it is impossible.
But now she can't express her doubts about her cousin.
My cousin’s suspicion is not as great as that of the people in the Shangshu Mansion, and this suspicion is not evidence.
If she mentions her grandfather and grandmother’s suspicion of her cousin, it is embarrassing that her grandfather’s family and her mother are also hers.
If you only give it to your mother quietly, it will be difficult for the mother to accept it without evidence.
The most appropriate way is to find out the situation first.
"Why are you sitting here?" A soft voice came.
Feng Cheng raised his eyes when he heard the sound and saw Feng Mei, a second girl in a plain skirt, walking over.
"My sister is uncomfortable and she doesn't have a rest in the house."
Feng Mei's appearance follows her mother, she is more elegant and bright, and she is even more beautiful when she stands in front of Feng Cheng and is even more beautiful. Fortunately, she has poetry and books and has a good temperament.
Feng Cheng casually said: "The house is stuffy, come out and breathe."
Feng Mei looked down at the girl sitting casually.
The girl's eyes are clear, dimples appear by her lips, and her clean smile makes people feel carefree.
An unfair aura rose from Feng Mei's heart.
Even though he met a kidnapper, it became a joke for people after dinner, why could Feng Cheng still be so calm, as if he had returned from an outing?
This has happened since childhood. Just because she was beautiful, Feng Cheng could get her grandmother's eyes without doing anything.
And what about her?
She had to study piano, chess, calligraphy and painting hard and excelled in her studies before she was seen by her grandmother.
How unfair.
And now, Feng Cheng, who has lost his reputation and future, can still be carefree?
Feng Mei sighed lightly: "On the day when the eldest sister had an accident, the eldest princess's mansion sent a post to our mansion for a flower viewing banquet. Later, I learned that my eldest sister was missing and the family was in a mess and didn't care about these things. Fortunately, my eldest sister came back safely."
"The flower viewing banquet held by the eldest princess's house must be very lively. I wonder where it will be held?"
"It's tomorrow."
Feng Cheng raised his head slightly and said with a smile: "Then thank you for your reminder, otherwise I'll miss it."
She was about to go to Princess Yongping's Mansion and use Princess Yongping's power to get rid of the current predicament.
Feng Mei's expression froze, and her eyes looked at Feng Cheng with incredible expressions.
Is Feng Cheng simple or pretending to be stupid? Don’t you know that she has ruined her reputation and that her grandmother doesn’t allow her to go out at all?
What's more, even if you can go out, the eldest princess's mansion will not welcome you.
Shouldn’t normal people be ashamed and dare not meet people at this time?
Suppressing his contempt, Feng Mei reminded him with a smile: "The eldest sister has just come back and should have been resting well. If she goes out with her sister tomorrow, her grandmother will probably be worried."
Feng Cheng stood up: "Then I'll ask my grandmother to avoid worrying."
