Embracing the Moon Pavilion

  Since that night when he went to Song Lingluo's place, Song Lingyu had not seen Song Lingluo again. Including paying respects to the old lady and in the pavilion where Song Lingluo liked to go during ordinary times.

  Three days later, Song Lingyu took Zi Lan and Hui Zhen around Song Linglong's Qianhe Garden and then went to a waterside pavilion next door. The waterside pavilion was surrounded by a circle of lotus flowers, which were now in full bloom in the summer, with pink, white, and purple ones blooming one after another.

  Song Lingyu threw down some food, and the fish around her immediately swarmed over. Song Lingyu couldn't help but sigh as she watched the fish competing for food: "People die for wealth, birds perish for food, and the purpose of Madame's life is to scheme for power and prestige. If they can't get it, they would rather watch someone else take that position, and be despised by others, who knows what they would think."

  You want to go to heaven, I'll drag you down to hell!

  Zhilan stood beside Song Lingyu and said: "I haven't seen the second miss for a long time, could it be that she won't go out without Biwei?"

  "Don't talk nonsense." Song Lingyu scolded, but there was no anger in her tone: "I should have told you that speaking ill of others behind their backs will get you into big trouble if someone with malicious intentions hears it."

  "Miss, I understand," said Zilan with a smile.

  Song Lingyu smiled slightly, then made a face at Zhi Lan. Zhi Lan looked in the direction Song Lingyu was indicating and saw a hint of provocative clothing peeking out from behind the fake mountain. Zhi Lan nodded to Song Lingyu, indicating she had seen it. Song Lingyu nodded and said: "Zhi Lan, it's been a long time since we've gone to the Moon-Embracing Pavilion, I wonder if the owner has changed."

  Huixin's eyes widened suddenly after hearing Song Lingyu's words, what is Ruan Yue Lou? That's...! She was about to speak, but was pulled by Zilan. Huixin looked at Zilan and saw that she winked at herself, so she obediently shut her mouth.

  Zhiluan saw Xun's true understanding and immediately let out a sigh of relief, picking up where Song Lingyu left off: "Yes, miss, it's better to seize the day than wait for a propitious one. Why don't we go now?"

  Song Lingyu stood up: "Zhilan, go prepare the horse carriage."

  "Yes." Zhi Lan responded with a single word before walking away first.

  Song Lingyu looked at the fake mountain, then gazed into the distance at the figure hastily running away and smiled slyly. Huixin looked at her master with a puzzled expression, thinking to herself: Has my master gone crazy? It's already strange that she wants to go to such a place, but she even voluntarily showed that kind of smile.

  Very soon, Zhi Lan had the carriage ready and it drove away from the Song Mansion along the street.

  Song's home, in Song Linglong's courtyard, Mrs. Peng rushed in and knocked on Song Linglong's door. After getting her approval, she walked in and stood respectfully.

  Song Linglong saw that it was Peng Mama and immediately went up to greet her: "Peng Mama, I asked you to follow my sister, how did you come back so quickly?"

  Mrs. Peng lowered her head and said: "The young lady has left the mansion, but I, a slave, cannot go out."

  "Out of the house?!" Song Lingjiao exclaimed. Ever since that day when she saw Song Lingyu in the garden, and adding to the last time Song Lingyu came over, she couldn't help but think that something was off about her sister. Today, Song Lingyu just happened to pass by her courtyard, so she asked Peng Mama to follow her closely and see what was going on. Song Lingjiao thought for a moment, then asked, "Did you hear where she's headed?"

  "Th...". Mrs. Peng hesitated for a moment, after all, Luan Yue Lou was not a place that a young lady from a good family should go to. But in the end she still chose to speak out, "I hid behind the fake mountain and listened, I don't know if I heard it right or not, but the eldest miss said that she, she wants to go to Luan Yue Lou!"

  "What?!". Song Linglong exclaimed again, this was one of the few times in her life that she had lost her composure. However, the person in front of her was her nanny, who had watched her grow up, so losing her composure in front of her wasn't a big deal. Song Linglong thought for a moment and then said: "Lan Yue Lou, this time Song Lingyu is done for!"
