As we walk towards to main hall I whispered to my father that I won't attend the banquet he was about to object and narrowed his eyes as if he see right through me as I smiled at him mischievously and he nodded. Once I got his permission I urge Du'er to go the kitchen so we could eat afterwards take a walk in the garden while waiting for the assembly to start.
Most of the servants are shocked to see me, a lady entering the kitchen however I brush it off by saying I just want to check the dishes that'll be serve in the banquet and asked for a few ingredients to make simple sesame balls with red bean paste filling. Du'er is puzzled that I know how to make it I just told her that I observe it while we were strolling in the market.
"Young miss why are preparing for this? If you are hungry we can just order the servants to make it for you."
"We'll need it later Du'er, it'll be our props." I grin at her and winked causing her and male servants that are observing us to blush.
"Please don't jest at this servant young miss."
I chuckled at her and finally wrap the finished sesame balls in a container and signalled her to carry it and went outside of the kitchen. As we walked back to the main hall I get some sesame balls and gave some to Du'er while I start eating my share.
While we pass by the garden's pavilion I stopped as I noticed two figures, the young man wears a dark purple hanfu with golden lion design while the lady he is with wears a light pink attire invokes admiration and emphasizes pureness.
"Du'er who are they?" I turned to Du'er who is behind me and noticed hatred in her eyes. I still decided to ask though her expression already confirms the identify of the couple.
"To answer young miss they're the eldest young master of Long clan and sixth young miss."
I gestured her for us to hide in the nearest large tree in the pavilion since the two nasty love birds are facing the man-made pond they didn't noticed us.
"Fan'er you don't have to wait and suffer anymore, now that trash cousin of yours is taken care of we can now declare our relationship and be engage. I've let you wait too long..." Muhuang gently hugs the lady he loves from behind. He can see her ears are bright red showing her shyness at their intimate contact.
"Yes though I must say we shouldn't have tried to kill her she is still after all my cousin and I adore her since we were small..." her voice trembled with sadness.
"We didn't have a choice Fan'er it is her fault for coveting someone who don't love her." Muhuang firmly state like it was a truth they forgot that it was their great grandfathers who engaged him and Xiuying even before they were born.
Xiuying suddenly rubs her eyes, bends down and rubs some dirt to the knee part and hem of her dress after. Then she took some dew drops from the leaves and place it near her eyes.
Du'er was shock to what her young miss had done as after she's done to what she's doing she look like a lady who cried and even dropped on the dirt. Xiuying winked at her and started to run, Du'er didn't have any chance to ask what her miss plans to do as she runs fast towards the main hall.
