Chapter 1707 Ghosts Scaring Ghosts
The area around Huaiyuan is also very lively, but the atmosphere here is even better—lively yet harmonious.
Rong Jingjing also invited several kitchen helpers. She and Aunt Liu were both top-notch chefs in the capital, and the delicious dishes they made made everyone want to lick their fingers.
In particular, Rong Jingjing's creations were all very novel, and the snacks and desserts were ones they had never tried before.
Madam Fu's daughter-in-law, Yao, stayed in Huai Garden instead of going to Prince Jin's residence, mainly because she thought that someone from the Fu family should also be a member of Lu Zhaoling's maternal family.
Moreover, they didn't want so many members of their family to go to the Prince's Mansion.
Fu Shun went to the Prince of Jin's residence, while Fu Cheng stayed in Huaiyuan with his mother.
He ate so much at Huaiyuan today that he didn't want to leave.
I had no idea that the food here at Miss Lu's place was so delicious!
"No wonder Miss Lu's face became plump and juicy soon after returning to the capital. It turns out she's been eating so well every day."
Yao was also beaming with joy as she ate.
The Fu family was quite well-off, and they weren't people who had never tasted good food, but the food at Huaiyuan was still amazing to them, which shows how delicious it was.
"Now we have to call her Princess Consort of Jin," Steward Tian said at the next table.
That's right, Manager Tian, who was the head manager of the Sun family business and had helped Lu Zhaoling a lot in the past, is also here at Huaiyuan to drink the wedding wine today.
“Yes, she should be called Princess Consort.” As she spoke, Madam Yao secretly glanced at her son.
Fu Cheng was gnawing on a honey-glazed chicken wing, and he looked like he was really enjoying it.
Seeing his reaction, Yao felt relieved.
She had known about her son's feelings for Miss Lu before. Not to mention her son, even she, her parents-in-law, initially favored Miss Lu. But after they learned that Miss Lu had already been betrothed to Prince Jin, they dared not think about it at all.
I'm just worried that Cheng'er hasn't quite grasped the situation yet.
The Fu family has good family traditions. Men can only marry one wife, and women can only be the principal wife. Moreover, they are all kind-hearted and honest. Madam Yao is afraid that although Cheng'er knows rationally that he can no longer have any feelings for Miss Lu, he can't let go emotionally.
If you can't let go, your life will be miserable. After all, trying to snatch someone away from the Prince of Jin is impossible; it's harder than the sun rising in the west.
But now, seeing Fu Cheng engrossed in the food, looking very relaxed, with no trace of sadness or melancholy in his eyes, Yao knew that he had truly let go.
“Mother, please eat quickly. Why are you staring at me like that?” Fu Cheng looked up unintentionally and met Yao Shi’s gaze. He was taken aback for a moment, and his first words were also to tell her to eat quickly.
Just as Yao was about to speak, someone came in from outside.
Ma Xiaoliu brought his men over.
When Yao and Fucheng saw it, they realized it was the servant who followed the old master.
The mother and son's hearts started racing at the same time. Could something have happened to the old man or the old lady?
"Madam, the old master requests your presence at the Prince's residence."
The servants of the Fu family waited until they left their seats and walked to the side before explaining their purpose.
Rong Jingjing also came over, fearing that something had happened.
"Something happened at the Prince's residence?" she asked.
The servant of the Fu family shook his head and said, "It was the old master who sent me to pick up the madam, saying that a member of the Yao family has some business to attend to."
He quickly said to Rong Jingjing, "Your Highness and Princess are alright. When I arrived, the wedding banquet was still ongoing."
Hearing this, Rong Jingjing felt relieved. But she still subconsciously felt that the matter of the Yao family was also related to the wedding.
The old doctor is at the Prince of Jin's residence. Since the incident happened there, it must have been directed at the Prince and the eldest sister.
“Miss Rong, then let’s go to the Prince’s Mansion.”
"Yes, Madam, please don't be too anxious."
After Yao and Fu Cheng left together, Rong Jingjing was still a little worried and quietly went to call Zheng Ying.
"Go to the Prince's Mansion and find Madam Sheng or Brother Frog, ask them what happened, and then come back and tell me."
"Yes."
Zheng Ying immediately floated away.
She cultivated in the Locust Garden for more than three years. In fact, she didn't need to cultivate in a special way. The spirit-gathering array in the Locust Garden and the spirit-gathering in the stone tablet had already made her cultivation level much higher.
Now she can travel around most of the capital during the day, as long as she avoids the bright sunlight.
Zheng Ying has been "drifting" in Beijing for the past two years and has already figured out a path that suits her.
They flew past under the shade of the trees.
By the time she arrived, the banquet at the Prince's mansion had already been held several times and was nearing its end.
In the Prince of Jin's mansion, it's generally not easy for wandering ghosts to sneak in. Unless they have some cultivation, they have to use some tricks.
However, the gates of the Prince's mansion were wide open to a familiar face like Zheng Ying.
After entering, Zheng Ying saw the Crown Prince at the banquet from afar, but dared not approach and quickly went around him.
As a result, she bumped into the west courtyard while going around.
With a "bang," Zheng Ying crashed into the talisman array, causing a surge of air currents.
The five tables of wedding banquet set up in the courtyard, with eight guests at each table, were currently filled with lively drinking.
Upon hearing the sound, Xiaobai was the first to jump up.
"No way? We're all here, and some kid still dares to barge in?"
You should know that there was a list of people who came up to drink, and the names were taken at the beginning of the banquet. Everyone on the list showed up, not a single one was absent!
So if another one comes along, it's someone who wasn't on the list.
Those not on the list are either wandering ghosts or trespassers in the mortal realm.
This is going to fall right into their hands!
Without saying a word, Xiao Hei reached out and grabbed at the air.
"Come here, envoy!"
On her way here, Zheng Ying was proud that she could now "drift freely in the capital," but now she was suddenly pulled in by a force, with no ability to resist whatsoever.
She stared in horror, her vision spinning and shifting, until she was slammed to the ground with a thud, lying flat on her back, her eyes filled with the sky.
She felt like her soul was about to leave her body.
What exactly is inside the Prince of Jin's mansion?
Master, oh no, she's going to die.
Before Zheng Ying could even cry, Xiao Hei's shocked voice rang out, "Zheng Yiban'er?"
"Who? Zheng Yiban'er?"
The other ghost messengers gathered around and saw Zheng Ying on the ground.
“It’s a female ghost. Hmm, her soul is quite solid, and she still has some human energy on her. Is she a domesticated ghost?” said one of the ghost messengers from the Judge’s Hall.
Zheng Ying struggled to her feet, looked at the two envoys, and held back her tears.
Okay, Master, I don't have to die.
"So it's two envoys, and..." Zheng Ying's gaze swept over, and she was so frightened that she almost screamed!
How can there be so many ghosts?!
Her sudden look of fright startled the other ghost messengers, who all took a step back.
what happened?
"It's a misunderstanding, this is..." Xiao Hei hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should just say it was a ghost from Senior Sister's house.
