The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 248 Undercurrents
Jiang Mansion, Botao Pavilion.

Wang Dongdong yawned and raised his eyelids.

I saw myself still sitting on the chair, holding a teacup in my hand.

He frowned, suddenly confused.

Looking around, Sister Shao Yan, Prince Jing, the soft persimmon, and the sour-faced Ling Yuke were sitting next to him, looking drowsy.

Brother Cai Zhi, who was sitting in the main seat, was talking incessantly about the "interesting things" that had happened in the court in recent days, but he spoke in a serious and flat tone, almost the same as the teacher in the school. No wonder everyone was tired of listening.

However, Wang Dongdong always felt that something was strange, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

By the way, where is Shengsheng?

She reacted suddenly.

Then he remembered that Shengsheng seemed to have said that he had something to do and left for a while.

What's the matter?

Wang Dongdong knocked his head, trying to knock out that memory.

Maybe it was because summer was here, Wang Dongdong felt a little sleepy and not as alert as before.

It seems that I will have to ask the chef at my brother's house for a bowl of iced plum soup to relieve the heat.

When they were young and came to Jiang's house to play, they loved drinking this stuff the most. If they were not afraid of getting a stomachache, they would have to drink ten bowls before they were satisfied.

But Wang Dongdong didn't remember for a moment, and Sister Shao Yan beside him had already said softly: "Dongdong, where is Miss Liu?"

Jiang Caizhi in front chuckled and said, "Ahem, didn't Miss Liu just say that she felt uncomfortable in her stomach?"

His voice was ethereal and soft, as if it was carried by the wind from ten miles away.

It’s better not to say the following words, as it is also to save the girl’s face.

Everyone suddenly realized, and Wang Dongdong also nodded.

Oh, it seems so, it is true.

Liu Sheng was still very embarrassed and told the butler privately, and then left with the butler.

Shengsheng: Same thing, there's nothing to be embarrassed about.

Wang Dongdong thought, "I wish I had known that she would go with me."

But how long has Shengsheng been gone?

Why haven't you come back yet?

Wang Dongdong couldn't help but ask, "Where did the housekeeper take Shengsheng? I'll go find her."

Jiang Caizhi asked with a smile: "Dongdong, do you know the way?"

Wang Dongdong hesitated for a moment. Although she had come here to play several times when she was a child, there were so many courtyards and corridors that she couldn't remember clearly.

Just the water pavilion where she was now was extremely unfamiliar to her.

I almost forgot how I got here.

Just now they went to the cool yard first, and followed Brother Caizhi into the room, wanting to see how Jiang Caibin was.

It was warm inside and there was no sound at all.

Through the curtain, one could only vaguely see a person lying lifelessly.

Jiang Caizhi went in first to confirm, then came out and whispered that Jiang Caibin had already fallen asleep, so everyone should go to the nearby Bo Tao Pavilion to rest and chat.

Although everyone came to visit Jiang Caibin, they didn't want to disturb the patient's rest. Anyway, they hadn't seen each other for several days, so it was a good opportunity to chat.

In particular, Wang Dongdong, Ling Yuke and Jing Hao, who participated in this joint examination, had a good opportunity to communicate with each other.

As for why Liu Sheng was not brought along, it was because Sheng Sheng had been gone for a long time.

Yes! Didn't Shengsheng disappear for a long time?

"No, I have to go find her." Wang Dongdong put down the empty teacup in his hand and stood up.

Jiang Caizhi smiled slightly: "It seems that Dongdong is really close to that Miss Liu. He is worried about her after not seeing her for a while."

Wang Dongdong raised his eyebrows: "I brought the person into the mansion, shouldn't I be worried?"

"You don't have to look for it yourself, just let the maid help you find it." As he said this, Jiang Caizhi called the maid who was serving beside him and gave her an instruction.

The maid responded, bowed, and turned to walk out of the waterside pavilion. Ling Yuke watched coldly, laughed mockingly, and said in a long voice: "Maybe she got lost. The Jiang Mansion is so big, and she came from a small place, so it's normal for her to be confused."

"Yu Ke!" Shao Yan also frowned.

Ruan Shizhi also had a bitter face: "Sister Yu Ke..."

Jing Hao didn't say anything, but his face was full of disapproval.

No one understands why Ling Yuke is becoming more and more mean now?

Ling Yuke looked at everyone's reactions and felt a little annoyed.

"Humph! You are so stupid! Don't forget how Jiang Caibin became like this. Don't let a poor guy get on with us and harm us later!"

"Who are you calling poor?" Wang Dongdong pursed his lips tightly, his chest heaving violently, obviously very angry.

"What? You want to hit me? I'm talking about the girl you brought!" Ling Yuke looked up at Wang Dongdong, feeling that he was being suppressed. He also stood up so that he could look Wang Dongdong in the eye.

The two men stood face to face, their eyes met like lightning, and the air was filled with a tense atmosphere.

A fierce confrontation is about to break out.

"It's so noisy." One person said coldly.

The two turned their heads and saw that it was the taciturn Jing Hao, who was full of disgust towards them.

"Prince Jing is right, stop arguing. We have been friends since childhood. Is there anything that cannot be solved through discussion?"

Shao Yan stood between the two men and tried to separate them.

"Brother Caizhi, you say something too." She turned and said to Jiang Caizhi.

Jiang Caizhi has always been like an older brother among everyone. Although Ling Yuke is proud and Wang Dongdong is arrogant, they will still listen to him.

So Jiang Caizhi said slowly and calmly: "Dongdong, Yu Ke is just worried about you, don't be too anxious."

Then he said to Ling Yuke, "Yuke, you are going too far. No matter what Miss Liu is like, she is Dongdong's friend and a guest in my house. You shouldn't belittle her like that."

Jiang Caizhi's tactic of giving both sides a slap without bias was always effective in those days.

Ling Yuke could still accept it, she snorted coldly, crossed her arms and turned her head away, but Wang Dongdong didn't buy it.

Wang Dongdong said: "After all, you still have doubts about what kind of person Shengsheng is."

Shao Yan quickly said, "We don't have any. Miss Liu doesn't look bad and is smart. I like her very much."

Ruan Shizhi also waved his hands repeatedly to prove his innocence.

Jing Hao did not comment. He had no interest in these interpersonal relationships, but he also did not like to talk about them for no reason.

Looking around, seeing that no one agreed with her, Ling Yuke pouted and said arrogantly, "My mother has always taught me not to associate with people who are not in my circle. I think there is some truth to it. You have been in the countryside for too long, and you have become stupid!"

Wang Dongdong became even angrier and drew out his sword with a clang.

Jiang Caizhi quickly cast a spell, knocking Wang Dongdong's sword away.

"Don't be impulsive, Dongdong." Jiang Caizhi said, "Yu Ke is also worried about you. You have been innocent since childhood and are the most likely to trust others. We have been with you for more than ten years, and that girl has only known you for a few years, three years or so?"

Seeing Wang Dongdong shook his head, he added: "Look, you haven't known each other for long. You can't trust someone easily by looking at their face."

"Cai Bin is the best example..." Jiang Caizhi sighed.

After hearing this, the whole audience fell silent and seemed to be thinking about something.

Wang Dongdong shook his head: "Shengsheng wouldn't be that kind of person."

"Think about it, if it weren't for knowing you, how could she have gotten to know the sons of Chang'an's top noble families?" Jiang Caizhi said again.

"If that's the case, why did Brother Caizhi ask me to bring Shengsheng to the Jiang Mansion?"

Wang Dongdong simply doesn't like to think, but he is not really stupid. It feels strange to think this way.

"I heard that you are now living and eating with her. You may be too close to her. It would be better to call her over to observe her." Jiang Caizhi said calmly.

"How to observe?" Wang Dongdong's voice also turned cold.

Jiang Caizhi curled the corners of his lips, but before he could speak, he heard the trembling voice of a waiter reporting from outside the pavilion.

"My Lord, my Lord, my Lord..."
