Chapter 578 - King Chus Manor, the Surreptitious Thing That One Entered from the Front Gate and Left from the Back One (2/2)

“Uncle asked me to send you the lotus cups you requested last time. I’ve counted and cleaned them just now. All of them are very intact. It’s really good to use them to make tea tomorrow!”

When the celadon porcelain lotus cup was filled with tea, the green tea reflected the white jade-like lotus, and it was extremely beautiful!

The banquet was hosted by Mo Yarui. King Chu’s Manor also had their cups, but she felt that it would be more beautiful with those cups. She had nowhere to buy them, but remembered that her parents’ family had a few sets of the cups. She immediately sent a letter to her father to ask him to find and send them here so that they could be used in the banquet tomorrow. She did not expect that her father would ask her cousin to do it.

“Thank you, Cousin Ming. With these cups, the banquet will look more perfect.” Then Mo Yarui invited Hong Ming with a smile. “Cousin Ming, remember to come with my father tomorrow.”

“I, don’t think it’s a good idea.” Hong Ming was in a dilemma.

“Cousin, you’re my closest relative. Why don’t you come? Is there anyone who will talk about this? Cousin, you’re my closest relative. I’m not afraid of others saying that.” Mo Yarui’s eyes reddened. She bit her lips and her eyes darkened. She had wanted to introduce Hong Ming to King Chu for a long time in order to get him a job so that she could rely on him in the future.

However, it was rare for King Chu to come her place. Even if he came sometimes, he would only stay for a while, so there was no time for her to introduce him. Therefore, even though she had been in King Chu’s Manor for a long while, she had not found a chance. Tomorrow was the best time. If the banquet was successful, she could get a position for her cousin once she talked with King Chu for a few words when he was happy. Mo Yarui did not want to let go of this opportunity.

Even if it would cause some rumors, she was unwilling to give up. Anyway, King Chu was not an unreasonable man. How could he believe those groundless words? Mo Yarui really regarded Hong Ming her brother. He had been kind to him since she was a child, and she had always kept that in mind.

“Aren’t you afraid His Highness doesn’t like it, Second Consort?” Hong Ming moved a little uneasily.

“That kind of thing has no evidence and His Highness will not say anything about it. Given His Highness’ character, does cousin have anything to worry about?” Feng Yuxuan was known to be considerate and kind to men of talent. Mo Yarui felt that her cousin was also very talented even though he did not win a good position in the imperial examinations. It was said that King Chu was very polite to the first young master of the Qin Manor.

“Well… Okay, I’ll come with Uncle tomorrow.” Hong Ming didn’t refuse this time and nodded. After the two of them talked for a more while, Hong Ming didn’t want to stay any longer, so he said goodbye and left.

An older female servant led him out. On their way, a maidservant suddenly rushed over and asked the older female servant to check inventory. Just now, King Xuan’s Manor sent gifts, so they had to clean up the warehouse. The older female servant looked at Hong Ming with embarra.s.sment, then she pulled another older female servant who was standing by the side to watch the fun, and asked her to take Hong Ming out of the manor.

The later older female servant was obviously not taken seriously by her masters. When she heard that the former older female servant asked her to lead the way, she nodded and bowed, and then led Hong Ming to the outside. However, Hong Ming found the way was very strange. As they walked, the way took them to remoter and remoter places. It was not like the way he had entered before. At first, he was just confused. Later, he thought that maybe there were more roads in King Chu’s Manor and it was a different way, so he did not ask the servant.

After all, he was in King Chu’s Manor, and it was not something that he, a man who was not an official could ask at will.

“Young Master Hong, the door is ahead. You can go there by yourself. I still have something to do, so I won’t see you off.” The older female servant was polite. She turned a corner, pointed at the door ahead, and said to Hong Ming.

Hong Ming nodded and walked forward. After a few steps, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. The door was so remote and small, and it was obviously a back door. Why did she lead him here?

He immediately turned around to look for the older female servant, but she was already gone. Hong Ming had no choice but to go to the back door. Fortunately, learning that he was Second Consort Mo’s cousin, the older female servant at the back door was very polite and let him out without any difficulty. When he got out of the door, Hong Ming was still very confused. He came to King Chu’s Manor to see his cousin, and came in from the front door, but why did they let him go out from the back door?

He could not say that he supported the rules of King Chu’s Manor!

However, now that he had come out, there was nothing to say. He shook his head, went along the wall to the front gate and called his servants to go home with him.

“Who is this man?” Feng Yulei was standing on a building in the back courtyard with his hands clasped behind his back. He looked at the man who had just walked out the back door and asked curiously with a frown. Whose male family member left through the back door? It was really strange. He was currently on the cusp of the storm and did not want to see anything unusual.

Hearing his question, the eunuch who followed him ran away quickly. After a while, he came back and answered, “Your Highness, that man is Second Consort Mo’s cousin. He just had tea with Second Consort Mo and then she asked someone to send him away.”

“Mo Yarui’s cousin!” Feng Yuxuan muttered after a pause.

“Your Highness, do you want me to ask Second Consort about it?” The eunuch was smart. When he saw that Feng Yuxuan was displeased, he asked fawningly.

“Forget it. Let’s talk about it tomorrow!” Feng Yuxuan waved his hand and turned around to sit in the chair. He continued to read files. This was where he worked. It was tall and cool, so he was here most of the time when it was hot.
