Chapter 382 Banquet 7
Chapter 382 Banquet 7
At the Huangfu family's banquet, nothing dangerous would happen if someone disappeared, they could only leave on their own.
But if Yang Chuyi returned home, he should have informed me.
But judging from the two of them, they probably didn't return home.
Seeing Qian Duoduo quietly sending the maid around him out, he must be going to look for someone.
She remembered that this maid seemed to know some martial arts, and hoped that they could find the person quickly.
In the lotus pond of Huangfu Mansion, the lotus leaves are in full bloom, the green waves are rippling, and the pink and white lotus flowers are blooming in the sun, which is a beautiful sight.
It was the season when lotus flowers were in full bloom, and a group of ladies and young ladies from various families gathered by the lotus pond, admiring the beautiful scenery. They exclaimed in admiration from time to time, praising the beautiful scenery of Huangfu Mansion.
When these words of praise reached Mrs. Huangfu's ears, she couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
But the only drawback is that we cannot appreciate these beautiful lotus flowers up close.
In order to prevent people from falling into the lake, the Huangfu family had a servant every three to five meters.
It was not convenient for everyone to run over to the servants to see what was happening.
Everyone was somewhat skeptical about the Huangfu family's approach. After all, that was how their marriage with the Honglu Temple family came about.
There is no problem for the Huangfu family to take precautions again.
And everyone has seen today that the people who came today are all young ladies from various families, and none of the young masters from various families came.
Even if everyone guessed the intention, they would not say anything.
In fact, this makes some ladies feel more at ease.
There were also a lot of pastries in the small pavilion next to it. Qian Duoduo took a look and saw that there were also small cakes from his own shop.
"I saw that the small cakes your family prepared last time were very good. I also like to eat them myself, so I prepared some more this time.
Everyone came over to try it, she has launched many new cakes and pastries.”
They didn't know that these pastry and cold drink shops all belonged to Qian Duoduo. Qian Duoduo only took them out for promotion when there were banquets, and everyone just thought that she liked them.
Then she recommends it and word of mouth spreads it, which can be considered a disguised means of publicity.
Everyone was enjoying the beautiful scenery here, some young ladies were chatting, and it was soon noon.
It was almost time for lunch, but Yang Chuyi had not returned yet.
Now not only Madam Yang was anxious, but Madam Huangfu was also anxious.
She was afraid that Yang Chuyi would have something to do with her son again, so even if she agreed to let her be a concubine, she would follow the formal procedures instead of causing any scandal.
Qian Duoduo was also a little puzzled and didn't understand why Chunxia hadn't come back yet. Logically speaking, with Chunxia's abilities, she should have come back long ago.
Just when she was thinking about whether to go over and take a look, Chunxia came back.
Madam Yang naturally saw the maid Chunxia come back, but she was even more anxious when she didn't see Yang Chuyi.
"how?"
Qian Duoduo pretended to take a stroll and asked Chunxia to accompany him to a direction with fewer people.
"Miss, we didn't find him. But we guess he should be in Master Huangfu's yard."
"Guess? Didn't see it?"
"Yes. Because apart from some important courtyards that were guarded by people, we didn't go in. We searched everywhere else, but found nothing.
But I went to Young Master Huangfu's courtyard twice, and there were servants watching outside each time.
"Normally speaking, there is nothing wrong with having servants in the young master's yard.
But the strange thing is that no courtyard would drive out all the servants and maids in broad daylight and send people to guard outside.
Therefore, I speculate that Miss Tang may be in that yard."
Qian Duoduo didn't know what to say now.
She didn't know what Yang Chuyi was going to do.
She also heard from the maid of the Huangfu family in the morning that all the young masters in the family were asked to leave today for fear of disturbing the many young ladies who came today.
If Huangfu Yucheng was not in the mansion, could Yang Chuyi be there alone? Not likely.
But what if Huangfu Yucheng didn’t leave at all, and the two of them were secretly dating in his little courtyard?
What on earth are these two people doing???
Just when Qian Duoduo wanted to tell this to her mother, a maid in the mansion whispered something to Madam Huangfu, and Madam Huangfu's face became obviously more angry.
After explaining something to everyone, she left with the maid.
Qian Duoduo also took the opportunity to bring Mrs. Yang out, and it seemed that the mother and daughter wanted to have a good talk.
Bai Ningning and Sun Xinyan also tactfully returned to their mother.
It was just noon, and the Huangfu Mansion was just about to prepare the dishes for everyone. There was also a troupe of actors performing around the lotus flowers, which distracted some attention.
However, Qian Duoduo looked at Mrs. Huangfu's hurried steps and felt that they might have also discovered the problem with Huangfu Yucheng's yard.
"Where is your cousin?" Mrs. Yang asked in a panic. She was really afraid that Yang Chuyi would do something shameful.
"Mother, I just asked Chunqiu to look for someone in the Huangfu family's yard, but I didn't see my cousin."
"Did she come to you?"
“No, the three of us had been sitting in the pavilion at the back of the yard, and we came out later because we felt bored.
My clothes were indeed dirty so I changed them and then I saw you guys when I came out."
Qian Duoduo quickly recounted Chunxia's discovery and Madam Huangfu's reaction.
"I wonder if my cousin is..."
Madam Yang made a prompt decision, "Let's go there too. If it's really her, if something dirty really happened, we have to stop it before anyone finds out."
Qian Duoduo and Madam Yang hurriedly walked towards Huangfu Yucheng's yard.
When Madam Huangfu arrived at Huangfu Yucheng's yard, she found his servant standing outside with several guards.
"Where are your masters? Why are you standing here?"
"lady,"
The servant stepped forward to stop him.
"How dare you! You are going to cause chaos," Madam Huangfu now felt like she was going to die of anger.
"I dare not." Huangfu Yucheng's servant was so frightened that he quickly retreated.
"Tell your young master to come out and see me, now, immediately, right away."
Madam Huangfu said as she walked towards Huangfu Yucheng's room.
When he reached the door, he stopped and found that he did not hear any foul sounds.
He rushed forward and kicked the door open.
"Don't come here."
After all, she still had to consider Yang Chuyi's reputation.
She had noticed early on that Yang Chuyi had gone out and never came back, and thought that she must have gone to look for her little sisters. Unexpectedly, until just now, everyone had gathered by the lake and no one had seen her.
To be honest, she was more anxious than Madam Yang. The wife of the Minister of the Ministry of Rites was also here today. If anything really happened, she would have a hard time explaining herself.
There has never been a moment when she wanted to strangle her son to death. Every day there are such romantic debts, and she is so angry that she is about to die.
