Chapter 51: What is it that you wish to do?

  What does Chapter 51 want to be?

  Wan Yu pulled Wan Yi and several younger sisters to walk towards the pavilion, saw that many of them were familiar faces, smiled and greeted, "Sisters, long time no see! I saw you guys having so much fun from afar, let us join in!"

  Her smile is as gentle as a spring breeze, warm and elegant.

  Miss Li came up laughing and pulled her, "How come you just arrived? We were just talking about you. I heard that you were received by Master Jueyuan, we are all curious, quickly tell us what's going on?"

  Wanyu turned around and greeted her sisters to find a place to sit down, then sat beside Li's daughter and teased: "Want to hear the story? First pour me a cup of tea."

  The girls suddenly couldn't hold back their laughter, and the girl from the Ma family was also acquainted with her when playing at the Dingguo Hou Mansion, not considered a stranger. She pointed at the Li girl, laughing so hard that her eyes narrowed into a slit, "You hurry up and serve, who let you want to listen to stories."

  Miss Li smiled and didn't mind, really poured a cup of tea for Yuwan, "Ancestor, you drink tea." Made a serious please gesture.

  Wen Yu's face turned bright red, and she couldn't help but laugh as she slapped her lightly. "I was going to pretend to be mysterious, but this has made me feel embarrassed. Forget it, I'll just tell you."

  He then briefly told Master Jueyuan about his own Buddhist affinity and asked him to drink a cup of tea, without mentioning the lotus seeds or the rosary.

  After hearing that, all the girls were very envious. "You're really amazing, how did you catch the eye of Master Jueyuan? Did you know him before?"

  Wanyu had already thought of a countermeasure and smiled, saying: "I've only heard my grandmother mention this master before, but I haven't seen him. However, every time my grandmother burns incense, the Buddhist scriptures are all copied by me. I've been copying Buddhist scriptures for many years now. I reckon it's because the offered scriptures saw me, otherwise how would they recognize a little kid like me?" She smiled awkwardly.

  With this explanation, everyone nodded in understanding. Among those who sat and copied Buddhist scriptures with their mothers and elders were not a few, but very few people could calm down and copy Buddhist scriptures for several years, which was relatively rare.

  "No wonder. I said I didn't have such good fortune." Ma's daughter-in-law spoke with a slightly sour tone, but still smiled as she said it.

  Wanyu smiled humbly and said: "Actually, I don't think there's anything different from before. The master only said that I have a Buddhist affinity, didn't say anything else."

  Ma's daughter nodded with a slightly calmer expression, "What you said is also true, but being able to get a word from the great master is already a great fortune."

  Wan Yu smiled but didn't speak, thinking to herself that the good fortune she had obtained in exchange for her lotus seed was of course incomparable. Her own green lotus seed was also very precious, after all, how many people were willing to go to great lengths just to get one from her?

  Miss Li felt that Lao was stuck on one thing and wouldn't stop talking. It would make Wanyu embarrassed, so she waved her hand and laughed: "Hey, I heard today is for... right? But how come I didn't see the princess making any gestures?" Her eyes sparkled with gossiping thoughts.

  Ma's daughter-in-law smiled and said, "What can make you look at it, isn't it a bad dish? I reckon the princess has already made up her mind, we're mostly just guests, here to have fun."

  Several people nodded in agreement with a smile and continued to make merry together.

  They played a game of cards for a while, and then Ma's daughter let out a sigh and threw down her cards. "Ahh, I'm not playing anymore. My butt is numb from sitting. Yuanyu sister, let's go take a walk over there. I heard the scenery in that courtyard is quite nice too. Many girls are composing poetry over there." She said as she pulled on her hand.

  Wan Yu thought for a moment, almost instinctively, and first extended her spiritual sense to scan the area she had mentioned, only to be shocked to discover that there was actually a man over there, and her eyebrows furrowed instantly.

  Take another look, it's a young man, dressed in luxury, the fabric is ordinary brocade, but the waistband is bright yellow. This made her spirit lift. Bright yellow is a color exclusive to the royal family, only the emperor, king, and princes can use it. Even the children of the imperial clan cannot use it, they can only use big red.

  This man is handsome and majestic. His eyebrows and eyes make Yu Wei feel like she's seen him somewhere before, quickly thinking again, suddenly remembering that he should be a certain prince, with his age, yellow waistband, similar eyebrows and eyes, it should be the prince without a doubt, but she doesn't know which specific prince.

  Thinking of this, Yuwen looked at the girl from the Ma family with a profound meaning. Does she know that someone is waiting for her on the other side, and it's still a prince? What would happen if they bumped into each other?

  And on that side, there wasn't even a single girl, only the prince and two eunuchs accompanying him, not even a noble son in sight. According to common sense, when a prince goes out to have fun, he would at least bring two sons of nobles along to play with, it's rare for them to go alone.

  Wan Yu thought more and was shocked, looking at the Ma family's daughter again, she found that her eyes were disorderly, frequently looking in that direction, with a hint of anxiety hidden in her eyes. A maid's head appeared from behind the distant flower tree, constantly looking in this direction.

  She felt a pang in her heart, but after some deliberation, she decided it was best to remain still for the time being. No matter what others had in mind, as long as she herself adhered to the rules of propriety and etiquette, others would not be able to do anything to her.

  So he smiled and gently pushed her hand away, saying: "I'm not going, I just lost two rounds, I want to win back my silver coins, otherwise I'll be at a loss." She was smiling with a hint of dissatisfaction.

  Ma's sister-in-law saw that Yu was not moving, so she turned to talk and laugh with Yu's sister, "Sister Yu, let's go for a stroll. It's no fun just sitting there watching your sister play. We'll go have some fun and come back later."

  Wanyi glanced at Wanyu and found that she was looking down, her lips pursed, not even looking at herself, clearly unhappy. So she shook her head, "I'm not going, my mother told me to follow big sister, if she finds out I didn't listen and ran off on my own, I won't be allowed out the door again. I'm not going anywhere, I'll follow big sister. Fangya sister, you go find someone else."

  Wan Yi refused to go. Yun Qing was a concubine's daughter, and Ming Xin was a guest. The two of them didn't dare follow others recklessly either, and they shook their heads in unison to indicate that they wouldn't go.

  Wan Yu's mouth slightly curved, as if with a hint of mockery. Li Jia's daughter, whose name was Hui Fang, looked over in that direction and furrowed her brow slightly. She remembered that passing through the woods would lead to the outer courtyard garden, and it seemed that girls shouldn't be going into those woods.

  But it's none of her business, and she wasn't even sure if she remembered correctly, after all, it wasn't her own family's affairs, so she just kept quiet.

  Huifang urged Xianyu, "Hurry up and deal the cards, we've been waiting for half a day." She intentionally hurried Xianyu, also implying that she didn't want her to go.

  The girl from the Ma family didn't even want to go, and now she felt a bit embarrassed, with a hint of anger on her face. "Sister Yu, is this not welcoming me? Why can't I even get you to come out? Is it something I did wrong that made you dislike me?" Her small face was stern, as if she wanted to have a few words with you.

  Wanyu was not certain before, just out of cautious consideration did not want to get into trouble, and even more did not want to casually get involved with other princes, so as not to bring bad influence to the family, that's why she didn't want to go.

  I didn't dare to suspect Ma Fangya's motives before, but now I can be sure. A surge of anger rose in my heart. We've only met twice, and I've never offended you. How could you be so ruthless and treacherous towards me? This is outrageous!

  Wan Yu raised her head, feigning a look of surprise. "Sister Fang Ya, what are you talking about? I don't dislike Sister Fang Ya at all! I just didn't want to move around and play anymore, there's no other reason! Is there something fishy going on over there that you're insisting I go? Can't the other sisters do it? This is only our second meeting, and we didn't have any conflicts before, how can you say I dislike her? You're framing me for a crime I didn't commit, sister, please don't say such things, I won't be able to bear this accusation." By the end of her speech, she had reddened her eyes, with a hint of grievance.

  The girls sitting around playing together were all familiar with each other's family backgrounds, and some of them nodded in agreement with Yuwen's meaning. They had all seen the scene earlier, and Yuwen hadn't...

  There is no excessive language, nor any offense against Ma Fangya, and it is unclear where she got this from.

  Li Huifang also asked strangely: "Fangya, why do you have to send Yuwen to that grove? I remember that behind the grove is the garden of the outer courtyard, and it's inevitable that she'll meet outsiders. What's the point of going there? Isn't it just a bamboo forest?" She looked at Ma Fangya with questioning eyes.

  The girls around her carefully pondered and also felt that she seemed to have ulterior motives, all staring at her with accusatory eyes. What does this mean? Will you doing this also implicate us?

  "Wan Yu exclaimed, 'What? Outside the courtyard? I didn't know that! What if I ran into an outsider? It's so quiet over there, what if something happened and I couldn't see anyone? Sister Ma, how did I offend you? Why are you trying to harm me like this?' She felt more and more wronged, tears streaming down her face as she sobbed uncontrollably."

  Ma Fangya was also stunned. It's just a simple task, how did it end up like this? Now the more it's messed with, the bigger it gets. How can this be resolved now?!

  "No, I...I don't know that it's next to the foreign school, I...no." For a moment she didn't know how to explain, and in her anxiety, she stuttered and couldn't get the words out.

  Wanyi also stood up in anger, glaring at Ma Fangya, "Sister Ma, you're going too far. Although my Murong family may not be the top family in Beijing, we won't let others humiliate us like this. This isn't over." After saying that, she pulled Wanyu and walked towards the main courtyard.

  Wan Yu wiped away her tears and focused her attention on Ma Fangya, wanting to see what was going on and whether she had made a mistake.

  Ma Fangya wanted to catch up and explain, but was stopped by Li Huifang's wink at the other girls, who curiously asked her what was going on.

  That little girl looked bad and quickly ran into the woods, I don't know if she was going to report the news or not. Her movements were big and a bit flustered, this scene fell in the eyes of several playful girls, they looked at each other, all with some interest and excitement, it seems that there is indeed something going on.
