Chapter 449: A Tryst at the Pavilion in the Middle of the Lake at Midnight!

The matter of recording the name in the genealogy went smoothly in the afternoon. When everyone came, it was clear to everyone that since the Xingguo Duke’s office had recognized her, there was also the confirmation of the eldest princess Ruian. There was even a rumor that the Queen Mother also sent someone to confirm her. However, they all believed that Qin Wanru was indeed the legitimate daughter of the former prince Xingguo who was living outside.

After the family tree was officially recorded, Qin Wanru changed his name to Shao Wanru.

It is recorded in the name of the former Crown Prince Xingguo and Princess Qinghua, and she is ranked as the fifth young lady in the Xingguo Duke's mansion.

There are three rooms in Duke Xingguo's mansion, all of which are the direct sons of Mrs. Xingguo. In the big room, only Shao Wanru and Shao Yuanhao are left, with five in one row and three in the other.

The second house is the official house of Xingguo, with two daughters and one son, one son and one daughter are the legitimate descendants, and one daughter is the concubine. The two daughters are ranked first and second respectively, and the son is also ranked first.

Mrs. Sanfang gave birth to two daughters, one son was born as a concubine, the two daughters were ranked third and fourth respectively, and the son was ranked second.

The concubines were sorted out early, so that the entire Xingguo Duke's mansion was of the blood of Xingguo's wife, and the number of people was not large. Only the eldest family had no father and mother, which made it look a little thinner.

Now there are only one son and one daughter left, and they are both still young.

The ceremony of recording the matter into the genealogy was quite long, and by the time it was completed, the sky was getting dark, and the winter weather was already getting darker earlier than usual.

Naturally, the dinner party had to be reserved at this time. The table at Xingguo Duke's Mansion had been prepared, and the aroma of wine was flowing for a while.

The women used it quickly and walked around casually after finishing it early. Most of them came here with their father and brother. They couldn't go back until their father and brother recovered.

In the afternoon, we had already walked around for a while. Many women didn't want to go shopping anymore, so they stayed in the banquet hall to drink tea and chat. However, there were also some lively ones who couldn't sit down and continued to walk around the garden.

Some of the ladies wandered further and further, and even got lost later. They couldn't find anyone for a while, so they could only move forward in the direction pointed by the street lights, expecting to see the servants of Duke Xingguo's mansion asking questions. Ask for directions before going back.

As we walked along, it got darker and darker as we walked. The lights that used to guide the way were once every few steps, but now they appear almost every other distance. The distance is getting farther and farther, and part of the road is dark. Fortunately, the women Quite a bit, everyone emboldens each other and is less afraid.

"There's someone in front!" Suddenly a sharp-eyed woman pointed in front and said excitedly.

In front of you is a curved lake. In the center of the lake is a water pavilion. There is a pavilion outside the water pavilion. There are lights in the pavilion and there are people in the shadows.

"Let's go over and ask for directions, we finally see someone!"

"Yes, yes, come over right away!" ...

Everyone couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. If they continued walking like this, they still wouldn't meet anyone. Several girls also panicked.

The light in front of them saved them no less.

Everyone hurried towards the lake. As they got closer, they could see clearly. They found a man in the pavilion, which made them slow down again.

In such a dark place, there is only one bright light at the pavilion in the middle of the lake. Isn't it bad that they just bump into it?

Just as he was hesitating, someone suddenly said in a low voice: "Look, someone has passed by!"

"Who?" Everyone looked in the direction of her finger, and there was actually a woman coming to the waterside pavilion. She was wrapped in a cloak. It was not clear who it was, but she could only vaguely look like a woman.

At this time, with this appearance, it was a man again. Everyone looked at him, stopped, and even hid behind the tree one by one.

The woman in the cloak walked slowly along the waterside pavilion to the pavilion. The man who was originally sitting in the pavilion stood up excitedly. His face was originally facing a group of women. When he turned around, he suddenly had sharp eyes. He recognized him, and he turned out to be Prince Wang Shengxue, who was staying in Xing Mansion.

The reason why everyone present knew him was, on the one hand, because he was also there when Shao Wanru recognized his ancestor and recorded it in the family tree today. With his good looks, he immediately became the subject of discussion among many women, who were all asking questions about this person. Who the young master is, is passed down from one person to ten, and to a hundred people. The communication ability between women is very strong, and most people immediately know his identity.

Another reason is that some people present witnessed the scene where Wang Shengxue stopped Shao Wanru before.

When Wang Shengxue saw the woman coming, he stretched out his hand and hugged the woman into his arms. He untied her cloak with his other hand and threw the cloak aside. No one paid attention to it when it fell to the ground.

The young man and woman hugged each other tightly. From their angle, they could only clearly see Wang Shengxue lowering his head and beginning to kiss the woman. The women were stunned.

"Isn't this the newly recognized Miss Shao Wu?" Who said this in the darkness.

"It seems so. These clothes, yes, they are." The others' attention immediately fell on the woman. She had her back turned to everyone and couldn't see her clearly.

But the exquisite and gorgeous clothes, the unique piercing, and the gorgeous color immediately aroused everyone's consensus.

I don’t know if I don’t tell you, but the more I talk about it, the more they look like each other. These are clearly the clothes Shao Wanru is wearing today.

Shao Wanru is an important figure in today's ceremony and the focus of everyone's attention. The focus of the women's attention is also her gorgeous and enviable clothes. Every piece of her clothes is so bright that they are jealous and jealous. Hate, wishing that she could take her place and become the legitimate daughter of the former crown prince of Xingguo.

How could such beautiful clothes and gorgeous embroidery not attract attention?

At this time, after careful debate, everyone was immediately convinced that the woman in front of them was indeed the newly naturalized Shao Wanru, the fifth young lady newly recognized by the Xingguo Duke's Palace.

"It's so shameless, it's so shameless!"

"Unsightly!"

"It's so despicable!" The women reprimanded each other in low voices. Wang Shengxue and the woman were still hugging each other and kissing each other, as if they were inseparable. The situation between the two of them became more and more heated. Such a heated sight I knew it wasn't the first time.

"She is now a daughter of the Shaw clan. Such behavior will damage the reputation of the women of the Shaw clan. Let's go and ask the clan elders to come and see her now." Someone suggested righteously.

"Yes, go right away, go quickly!"

Everyone discussed and asked the four women to go back and take the previous path, and then come over quickly to catch Shao Wanru. They must catch Shao Wanru in a dirty way and let her dip into the pig cage. How could such a despicable woman enter the Shaw family? The genealogy of a family.

Before, they only wanted to move forward, but now they realized they could retreat. The four women went back to call for help. They walked very fast, and coincidentally, they met the maid from Xingguo Duke's mansion not long after leaving. He took them on a shortcut and returned to the living room not long after.

The clan elders had almost finished drinking this time and were talking happily. When they suddenly heard such news, they immediately became furious.

Duke Xing Guo didn't know where he was going, and there was no one to host him at this time. A few clan elders who were in high spirits led them to arrest him, and followed the previous women who took a shortcut and hurried over.

For fear of being discovered over there, everyone remained silent. When they arrived at the place where the previous women were guarding, they looked up and saw a man and woman embracing each other at the pavilion in the lake.

"It is indeed the fifth young lady newly recognized by Duke Xingguo." Some people also recognized the dress. Such clothes are not something that just anyone can own, and everyone has seen this dress before.

The two people in the pavilion became more and more intense. The man hugged the woman and sat down, still kissing her non-stop.

"Dip that woman into a pig cage."

"It must be immersed. I, the daughter of the Shao clan, cannot have a bad reputation."

"Let's take a dip before Duke Xingguo notices it. So many of us here have seen it, so what are we afraid of!"

"Yes, that's the idea, for all the girls of our Shaw family."...

The words blurted out one by one, and the brain after drinking became excited. Even if it was agreed upon, several clan elders led a large group of people and ran towards the waterside pavilion angrily.

Helplessly, a large group of people rushed out, immediately alarming the people at the waterside pavilion. The two men and women panicked when they saw a group of people rushing onto the water bridge.

The circuit was cut off. At this time, the only thing in sight was the lake in front of her. The woman actually jumped into the water with a splash.

Wang Shengxue seemed to want to jump, but he was timid. After trying a few times, he did not dare to jump anymore. He just watched the woman swim to the opposite side.

It's actually not that far from the other shore.

The people of the Shaw clan did not expect that the woman had the courage to jump down. After being stunned for a moment, some people ran back, but they had a long way to go around. From here to the opposite lake, it was even further. Waiting for someone After running over there, I only saw a line of water traces.

The people at the pavilion had already captured Wang Shengxue.

Under the light, it was clearly visible that it was indeed Wang Shengxue.

After tying up Wang Shengxue, they dragged him around the waterside pavilion. When they reached the other side, everyone saw a clear line of water on the ground. It was clear that someone came ashore from here and then escaped.

"Follow me!" The clan elders discussed it and decided that this matter could not be rectified, so they continued to chase. They must catch Miss Shao Wu, who ruined the reputation of the Shao family, and put her in a pig cage!

If people knew that the young lady of the Shaw clan had secretly had a private meeting with a man in the garden, how would the women of the Shaw clan discuss marriage in the future? This would make others think of the Shaw clan.

The clan elders all woke up at this time and felt that this was the best way. Since Duke Xingguo was not here yet, it was a favorable time to catch Shao Wanru and put him in the pig cage directly. Even if Duke Xingguo knew about it, he would It's too late to run.

For the sake of the reputation of the women of the entire Shaw clan, they are right to do this!

A large group of people escorted Wang Shengxue and chased him together. Unexpectedly, after taking only a few steps, they suddenly saw fire rising into the sky in front of them, thick smoke billowing, and flames surging. It actually caught fire all of a sudden!

The fire alarmed the people in the Xingguo Palace. All the servants were carrying buckets and other water-carrying tools, and ran over there, shouting "fire" loudly, and they were in a mess...
