Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty: The Woman Who Buys News

Madam Ru, carrying five thousand taels of silver notes, presented it to Meng Shuilan's inn. The maid Sixi got off the carriage, found the shopkeeper, and whispered, "My wife wants to meet the master Meng Pavilion of Baichuan Pavilion."

The shopkeeper looked puzzled and asked, "What Pavilion Master?"

Sixi frowned and said, "Don't pretend to be stupid! My wife is the wife of the second prince."

The shopkeeper immediately clasped his fists and said, "Oh, Madam is here to look for the pavilion master, but I really don't know." His eyes floated and he looked at the waiter.

The waiter of Dian understood and ran to find Meng Shuilan.

The maid Sixi was anxious and glared at him, "Okay, the shopkeeper! I tell you, if you delay my wife's major affairs, you will be in trouble if you can't afford it!"

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "How dare you? Don't dare, don't dare. You absolutely dare. The key is... Oh, why don't you wait, let the waiter ask one by one."

Seeing the shopkeeper like this, Sixi couldn't tell whether Meng Shuilan lived here or not, so she could only wait stupidly.

The shopkeeper had a good attitude and was talking carefully, but Sixi was still very irritable. She was afraid that her errand would be punished by Mrs. Ru. The news was not good at speaking and was not favored. If she was not likable about her work, she would not have any good results.

Mrs. Ru waited for a long time, but she didn't see Sixi coming back to report the news. She was anxious and immediately put on the fence and got off the carriage. Before she could enter the inn, she saw Meng Shuilan coming towards her.

Meng Shuilan has handsome facial features, and her long chestnut hair seems to be stained with three-point exotic style. She is wearing a grass-green robe, embroidered with silver thread, and has an emerald jade belt around her waist, full of water. He has the charm of a literati and poet in every move, so he hides it, showing only the smile that makes the woman crazy.

He shook the fan with white jade as his bones, and a hairpin of the same color was inserted on his head. It was a piece of green bamboo, which was extremely exquisite.

Such a dress, coupled with the talented man's unique temperament and romantic eyebrows, made the women around him jump in their hearts and peek at him.

Meng Shuilan was not afraid of people watching him. She shook the fan and smiled. She was really an inexhaustible soul-catching person.

Mrs. Ru had never seen Meng Shuilan like this before, and she was so obsessed with it for a moment. It was not until Meng Shuilan stood in front of her and asked, "Junior sister, what's the matter looking for?" She came to her senses.

Mrs. Ru smiled like a flower and said sweetly, "Why, can't you come to visit your senior brother if you have nothing to do?"

Meng Shuilan said: "My junior sister is always so elusive, she really has no power to resist."

Mrs. Ru's face changed slightly. Fortunately, there was a mulberry blocking her, otherwise she would be afraid of being looked at. She pursed her lips and said, "Senior Brother..."

Meng Shuilan had no intention of making things difficult for her, and immediately pointed to the teahouse opposite and said, "Why not drink a cup of coarse tea?"

Mrs. Ru nodded and replied: "Okay."

In the inn, Sixi kept paying attention to Mrs. Ru's movements. When she saw Meng Shuilan's appearance, she forgot to breathe. It was not until Mrs. Ru and she were about to walk to the teahouse with Meng Shuilan that she suddenly came back to her senses and followed her with small steps. She secretly looked at Meng Shuilan's side face, and her heart was swaying. Originally, she thought the second prince was the most beautiful person, but she didn't expect that the person in front of her was like a romantic talent, which was unforgettable.

After entering the teahouse, Meng Shuilan asked for a private room.

Mrs. Ru asked Sixi to guard the door, but she walked into the private room, took off the mulberry and sat face to face with Meng Shuilan.

Hot hot water and snacks were served and carefully placed on the table.

Meng Shuilan asked the tea master to retreat, lifted up the kettle himself, and slowly cooked the tea.

In the mist of water vapor, Mrs. Ru looked at Meng Shuilan's face and was a little dazed. It was not until Meng Shuilan put a cup of cooked tea in front of her that she came to her senses. She picked up the teacup and sniffed the sketch. Putting down the teacup, Mrs. Ru tasted the taste of her tongue and said, "The senior brother's craftsmanship has improved a lot. I haven't drunk such a long aftertaste of good tea. I still remember that when I was studying in the mountains, my senior brother was used to being lazy, but he had a deep attainment in eating, drinking and having fun. At that time..." She smiled slightly, shook her head, and changed her style, "The senior brother became a lot."

Meng Shuilan tasted a sip of tea and said, "It's just let it go."

Mrs. Ru's eyes flashed and she asked, "Have you changed a lot when my senior brother saw me?"

Meng Shuilan curled her lips and smiled, saying, "It's almost the same."

After hearing this, Mrs. Ru was extremely disappointed. How could it be almost the same? Why did she answer so vaguely? He should remember her original personality and appearance, but insisted on saying this. What does it mean? Occasionally, if she looked at herself in the mirror, she would feel that time had not treated her kindly.

Xu, I'm angry with her.

Mrs. Ru touched her hands, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "It's been four years since we parted. Senior brother said that Ru'er has not changed. Wouldn't it be a pleasure to make Ru'er happy?" Tai looked at Meng Shuilan, and there was a resentment in her eyes. "Or, Senior brother forgot about Ru'er's appearance?"

Meng Shuilan smiled and said, "Of course I haven't forgotten."

Mrs. Ru showed joy on her face.

Meng Shuilan continued, "But I can't remember it carefully. After all, it's too long."

Mrs. Ru's face froze and her smile froze on her face.

Meng Shuilan turned her head and looked out the window, with her lips curled. He found that Tang Jiaren's way of saying this was indeed very interesting. The first sentence was joyful; the second sentence was heartbreaking. Is it cruel? If this is called cruel, she disappeared for four years without even saying hello. What is it called?

Mrs. Ru's eyes turned red, she clenched her veil and said pitifully: "Senior brother, are you still blaming me? I...I have no choice but to force me. However, Dad's official position is in danger and the family is at a loss. If it weren't for me... I'll marry, our whole family would have to sleep on the streets!" She lowered her eyes and burst into tears, "As children, how can I bear to let my elderly parents suffer such hardship?"

Meng Shuilan felt that the tea in her mouth was a little bitter.

Mrs. Ru looked up at Meng Shuilan and said, "Senior Brother, I have thought that after the stability comes, I will send you messages, so that you... forget Ru'er. But... But the courtyard of the royal palace is deep, how can Ru'er enter and exit casually? The prince is tired of the old and old, and Ru'er is walking on thin ice in the mansion. Now that he can be brought out by the prince, he relies on his father's important position, and can still help the prince with his strength." As he spoke, tears fell like beans, crackling down, wetting the handkerchief.

Four years. Four years left without saying goodbye. Meng Shuilan did not look for Mrs. Ru for four years. As the head of Baichuan Pavilion, it was not easy to find someone, but it was not difficult. He knew where she was and had visited her. But she didn't know.

Because of her, he deliberately collected evidence of the second prince's crimes and paid attention to the movements of the sixth prince. As a result, he accidentally defeated Tang Jiaren.

Meng Shuilan's eyes fell on the whirlwind water mist, hiding his story, but he was stunned for a while. He felt that time was such a good thing. Once upon a time, what he was most ashamed of was the tears of his junior sister Xiao Ru'er. Now, he can turn a blind eye. It's great.

When Mrs. Ru saw Meng Shuilan fall into deep thought, she thought he was recalling the past. It can be seen that he no longer felt distressed for his tears, and she felt much awkward. She waited but didn't wait for the result she wanted. The feeling of loss in her heart almost drowned her.

Once upon a time, she had the best relationship with him, which made others envious. Now, it seems to be divided between two worlds across a table.

Once, she liked him. But when she met the powerful second prince, she had a heart that she could not even pull back ten cows. The gentle eyes of the second prince, the tender and soft words of the second prince, the generous words of the second prince, and the bold kiss of the second prince, all made her who dared to understand the feelings of love and could not extricate herself. Moreover, when something happened at home, she asked the second prince again. In this way, she married.

Once upon a time, Meng Shuilan was just a stingy poor boy. He loved to wear beautiful clothes, but he cherished them very much and was reluctant to make them pleat. Everyone said that Meng Shuilan must be the young master of Xiaofu Family, but who would have thought that he was the young master of Baichuan Pavilion.

Once... I was too embarrassed to look back, but I still had to ask the person in front of me.

Mrs. Ru felt uncomfortable, but she smiled innocently, making herself look like the same self she used to be. She said, "Senior Brother, what are you thinking about? But what are you thinking about our past?"

Meng Shuilan lifted the teapot and added some tea to each other, saying, "Tell me, what's the matter? You are now a wife, what's the service for this grasshopper in the world?"

Mrs. Ru couldn't help but frown and said, "Senior Brother, is there nothing else to say between you and me except this?"

Meng Shuilan said: "You can say it casually. If you go back late and are not afraid of the prince's reproach, what are you afraid of?"

Mrs. Ru's heart felt warm, she glanced at Meng Shuilan with a little affectionateness, and said in her mind: Senior brother is still the same, he is cold-mouthed and warm-hearted, and understands people.

She looked at Shichen and did not dare to delay any further. She immediately reached into her sleeve, took out a purse, untied it, took out a silver note worth 5,000 taels, handed it to Meng Shuilan, and said, "Senior brother, the celebrity doesn't say anything secretly, it was the prince who asked Ru'er to buy a message. This is 5,000 taels, and the senior brother has collected it."

Meng Shuilan raised her eyebrows, glanced at Yinbao, and said, "It turns out that the person who made an appointment with someone to visit the flower boat is the prince. Why, why didn't he come by himself?"

Mrs. Ru showed a tangled look on her face. She was waiting, waiting for Meng Shuilan to answer the words herself and no longer asked her. However, Meng Shuilan just looked at her and waited for the answer.

Mrs. Ru couldn't do so, so she had to say, "The prince... was assassinated."

Meng Shuilan was shocked. After pausing for a moment, he asked, "Is there any trouble with the prince?"

Mrs. Ru whispered: "This is something that you must not be rumored. The prince has ordered that no one is allowed to mention this matter. The prince was bitten by a poisonous snake. Fortunately, he invited Gongyang Diao Diao to save his life. The sixth prince was strangled by the assassin. It is a fate to live."

Meng Shuilan asked: "When did it happen?"

Mrs. Ru didn't want to continue to answer, but she had already mentioned this part, so it would be inappropriate to hide it. Besides, the second prince had always wanted to recruit Meng Shuilan for some purpose, otherwise she wouldn't have sent her here. Since... she was her own person, it would be okay to talk. So she told Meng Shuilan everything she knew.
