Chapter 1079: Old acquaintance
Mrs. Meng’s face turned red, and she was speechless. She only recovered when Bai Zhi left.
Madam Meng’s face turned red and she was speechless. She only recovered when Bai Zhi left.
Was she reprimanded by that girl, Bai Zhi just now?
She was an elder, but she was reprimanded by a yellow-haired girl?If this matter spreads out, how will she go out to meet people?
Madam Meng glanced at the maidservants in the room with stern eyes: “In today’s event, whoever dares to talk too much, their tongue will be cut off and be sold away. Do you understand?”

In Changfu Hall
This was the main entertainment room. The seats here were for the officials from the palace. There were about ten tables in total, and the tables were full.
Meng Nan was being pulled around by Master Meng to toast with the officials. The smile on his face was very stiff.
He never liked this kind of occasion. At the ordinary time, when there was a banquet, he would avoid it as much as he could. He never force himself. His father rarely pulled him hard like this. But today was his big day, how could he avoid it?Master Meng listened to everyone and looked in all directions. How could he neglect anyone?
The next moment, he saw a figure entering from the outside, and walking low-key to a table in the corner with two empty seats.
Master Meng quickly pulled Meng Nan and whispered: “Prince Jin is here, you go there immediately.”
Today, there were many distinguished guests in the Meng Family Mansion. Several princes have come, but in Master Meng’s eyes, the most honorable was naturally Prince Jin.
Meng Nan followed his father’s line of sight, and sure enough, he saw Prince Jin in the corner: “Didn’t he say he wouldn’t come?”
Master Meng glared at him and said angrily: “Put away the sad look on your face and make a happy face. Don’t let Prince Jin see anything that shouldn’t be seen.” He knew exactly what his son was thinking. If it was a daughter from an ordinary family, he will definitely fulfill his son’s wishes, but that girl cannot.
That girl was Prince Jin’s fiancee… …
He doesn’t know if Prince Jin was aware of it, maybe he doesn’t. After all, if he knew about it, how could Prince Jin come today?
Master Meng took Meng Nan to Chu Yan’s table. Several officials around Chu Yan wanted to chat with him. But before they could say a few words, Master Meng led the groom over.
“His Royal Highness, you are here. Meng Nan asked it several times, why Prince Jin hasn’t come.”
Chu Yan raised an eyebrow and swept his cold eyes to Meng Nan, then asked with a smile: “Really? Young Master Meng.”
Meng Nan frowned, coughed awkwardly, and answered in a low voice.
Chu Yan secretly smiled, turned his eyes to Master Meng, and said: “Actually, this prince and Young Master Meng have known each other for a long time. It can be said that we are old acquaintances. Master Meng, you don’t need to be so polite.”
Master Meng was stunned for a moment, his brain failed to function for a while: “Ah? You have known each other for a long time?”
“Why not? Young Master Meng was sent to Qingyuan to serve as a magistrate. It happened that Bai Zhi and I were both in Qingyuan, we met each other at that time.”
Master Meng only knew that his son met Bai Zhi in Qingyuan. He didn’t expect that not only did his son meet Bai Zhi at that time, but also met Prince Jin? Why has he never heard of it?
“Father, go somewhere else, Prince Jin, and I have something to say.” Meng Nan was very embarrassed. He doesn’t know what else Chu Yan would say if it went on like this.
Master Meng came back to his senses, he agreed and cast a wink at the guests at the table. Everyone understood and immediately got up and left.
The hall was very lively and the surrounding was very noisy. The two of them just sat and talked, and they didn’t have to worry about being heard.
“You came alone today?” Meng Nan asked.
Chu Yan nodded: “I came alone, but Bai Zhi also came.”
