Chapter 254 Hua Manlou invites Shen Li to a banquet
Shen Li frowned, but his expression remained calm.
She opened her red lips slightly and asked slowly, "Oh? I wonder what Mr. Hua is up to?"
Hua Manlou stared at Shen Li with eyes as deep as a pool of water. He deliberately lowered his voice and said softly:
"Can I talk to Dr. Shen alone?"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed towards the Zuixianlou across the street behind him, and continued:
"I have prepared a banquet in the private room on the second floor of Zuixianlou. I sincerely invite you to come and have a chat at noon today."
Hearing this, Shen Li couldn't help but feel curious.
You know, she and Hua Manlou have never had any intersection. Even though they met once at the palace banquet on New Year's Eve, they had never even exchanged a single word.
This time, it was the first conversation between them.
Shen Li bluntly asked, "Young Master Hua, to be honest, you and I have been strangers to each other. Even though we briefly glanced at each other at the palace banquet, we never exchanged a single word. How can you be so sure that I will accept your invitation?"
Facing Shen Li's questioning, Hua Manlou looked calm and confident.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he said slowly, "It's because I know the secret hidden behind the jade pendant on Doctor Shen's neck."
Indeed, Hua Manlou was not unfamiliar with the jade pendant.
However, as to whether the Princess Chen in front of him is really his biological sister who has been lost for many years as he guessed, it still needs further investigation and verification.
It was for this reason that he had carefully arranged this banquet and sincerely invited Shen Li to come so that they could discuss the matter in detail and have an in-depth exchange.
Upon hearing the secret of the jade pendant, Shen Li's heart beat faster.
That is the jade pendant that contains the secret of her life experience. Could it be that Hua Manlou knows her life experience?
Sanqingniao said that she was a descendant of the Hua family. Could it be that she and Hua Manlou are relatives?
Many thoughts flooded into her mind, and she nodded immediately: "Okay, I'll go over at noon."
Hua Manlou got a satisfactory answer and left with a smile.
The sunlight shines on the road, forming patches of mottled light and shadow.
Hua Manlou walked with dignity, his handsome face showing determination and confidence.
Following closely behind him was his personal attendant, Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Sir, do you think this Princess Chen is really the young lady of our mansion?"
Hua Manlou's eyes were fixed straight ahead, his steps firm and steady. He answered as he walked:
"We have thoroughly investigated this matter. It is said that this Princess Chen is the adopted daughter of Prime Minister Shen.
That year, when Prime Minister Shen's wife went to the temple to burn incense, she accidentally discovered and rescued her when passing by the Chishui River.
You should know that the source of the Chishui River is within the territory of our Xueji Country. It originates from the towering mountain top, rushes down all the way, passes through numerous dangerous mountain gorges, flows through the Xiangguo Temple with its strong incense, and finally flows into the East China Sea in a mighty manner.
And, more importantly, Princess Chen is wearing my mother's jade pendant! This alone is enough to prove that she is very likely my biological sister."
However, the attendant still seemed to have doubts and continued to ask:
"But sir, what if the Princess of Chen just picked up the jade pendant by accident, or purchased it from somewhere else? After all, we haven't found any definitive information about the origin of this jade pendant yet."
This question made Hua Manlou pause for a moment, but he soon said confidently, "Let's put the jade pendant aside for now. I actually have another way to confirm whether she is really my biological sister.
My father once told me that my sister has had a plum blossom-shaped birthmark on her arm since she was born. If I could see it with my own eyes and verify all the clues, then there's no doubt she's my long-lost sister!
After saying this, Hua Manlou quickened his pace, his heart full of anticipation and hope, and walked towards Zuixianlou step by step.
In Huichuntang Medical College, sunlight streamed through the doors and windows onto the quaint tables and chairs, and the entire room was filled with a faint herbal aroma.
At this time, Shen Li was sitting at the table, but his heart was as turbulent as waves and it was difficult to calm down.
Ever since Hua Manlou said that he knew the secret of the jade pendant which was closely related to her life experience, Shen Li couldn't sit still.
If what Hua Manlou said is true, it means that the mystery of Shen Li's life experience that he has been searching for may be about to be revealed.
Thinking of this, Shen Li could no longer continue to see patients with peace of mind. She stood up suddenly and walked hurriedly towards the inner courtyard.
Along the way, her heart beat faster and faster, as if she could hear the pounding sound echoing in her ears.
After entering the inner courtyard, she quickly began to tidy herself up, carefully combing her long, cloud-like hair and applying a little makeup on her face, making her already pure and elegant face even more charming and attractive.
Qingluan, who was standing by, was also extremely excited when she saw her master so nervous and expectant. She couldn't help but pull Shen Li's sleeve and shouted ecstatically, "Princess, your life story is about to be revealed! Maybe you really are the eldest daughter of the Xueji Guohua family!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Li took a deep breath while looking at the bronze mirror, trying to calm his excitement.
She frowned slightly and gently warned Qingluan, "Don't talk nonsense like that! Although my biological parents' surname is indeed Hua, there are so many people with the same surname in the world. How can you so easily assert that I am from the Hua family of Xueji Country?"
However, Qingluan was obviously overwhelmed by joy, and she still responded cheerfully: "Yes, yes, the princess is right.
However, since Mr. Hua dares to claim to know the secret of the jade pendant, and speaks so confidently, I think it must be true. Even if it's not the Hua family of Xueji Country, at least it means that you are one step closer to finding your true relatives!"
After hearing Qingluan's words, Shen Li couldn't help but nodded.
Indeed, for some reason, from the moment she heard the news, she had a strong premonition in her heart that Hua Manlou must know some unknown inside story.
In any case, the truth seems to be gradually approaching her. As long as she waits patiently for a moment, all the mysteries may be solved one by one.
"Okay, don't be so happy just yet. Hurry and help me check if there are any omissions. Let's make some preparations. We have to leave for the banquet at Zuixianlou soon."
Shen Li was adjusting her hair while giving instructions to Qingluan.
So the master and servant got busy again, looking forward to this banquet with great joy, which might reveal the secret of her life.
