Chapter 2237: Spring is not too late
"The old lady has something to ask you, young lady." The maid leaned close to Shi Li's ear and whispered to her.
Shi Li calmly put down her chopsticks, with just the right amount of surprise on her face, "Grandma, what's wrong? Why are you calling me at this time?"
"I don't know. It seems like a letter was sent from Jiangnan. After reading it, the old lady hurriedly called the girl over." The maid didn't dare to look her in the eye, but just spoke her words hurriedly.
In order to get Shi Li to leave, he even took out the letter from Jiangnan as bait.
Shi Li stood up immediately, "Jiangnan sent a letter? Is it from my father?"
"I don't know. The old lady just asked me to urge the young lady to hurry over. The old lady is waiting for the young lady in the west wing now!" The maid breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Shi Li leave.
Then, she took Shi Li all the way to the west wing.
Passing by the flower corridor, the door of the west wing was almost within sight when a maid suddenly came over from another fork in the road and grabbed Shi Li's sleeve.
"Miss Li, the old lady is waiting for you in the east wing. You may have remembered it wrong. Come with me!" Without saying anything, she pulled Shi Li and walked towards the east wing.
The maidservant had not expected this sudden change and stood there in a daze, forgetting to stop it for a moment.
The other party was so sure that she even began to doubt herself, wondering if she had remembered it wrong.
After three rounds of banquet, the guests felt at home.
At about the same time, another maid quietly came to the old lady and whispered a few words in her ear. The old lady nodded slightly, with a satisfied smile on her face.
She has lived her whole life, there is no way she can be deceived by a young girl.
Since Yu'er doesn't want to marry her in a dignified manner, don't blame her for using some tricks. After all, they will be a family in the future, and she will not let anyone dislike Shi Li.
Old Madam Fang felt that her plan had worked, so she picked up her chopsticks and asked the maid to serve her the food.
On the other side, Mingchen was also called out from the table.
The maid who called him was also unfamiliar, but she told him that it was Shi Li who ordered her to do so. Mingchen then easily followed her out of the banquet and walked outside.
The maid said to Mingchen, "Miss Li said that she is waiting for you in the west wing, and asked you to come over and see her."
"Okay, thank you." Mingchen walked towards the west wing without even asking any more questions.
The east and west wings, which were usually sparsely populated, were becoming increasingly lively.
But right now, Zhao Qianyue was the only one in the west wing.
She sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the candlelight on the table.
Her silver-moon-like face flushed slightly as she thought of what she was about to do, but her eyes were so bright that it made people feel uneasy.
Originally, she just wanted to hold Fang Yu firmly in her hands today, which would be worthy of her humble status in the Fang family over the years.
But when the time came, she suddenly saw Mingchen and had different thoughts in her heart.
Anyway, she is going to risk her reputation today, so why not go all out and climb a higher branch?
She knew Fang Yu very well, but he was the best person she could choose. But in front of Ming Chen, there was a world of difference.
Zhao Qianyue took a deep breath and decided to take a big gamble.
The Ming family's family background and sincerity are worthy of her doing this!
So, she spent a lot of effort and money today to buy a few maids who could be used today.
First, in order to conceal the truth and cooperate with Madam Fang's arrangements and calculations, Shi Li and Fang Yu were called out from the banquet.
But in the end, she quietly implemented the last step of the plan and called Mingchen out.
By then, as long as she and Mingchen were seen by others, the matter would be settled.
As for what would happen to Fang Yu and Shi Li, she didn't care at all.
