Su Zhi and An Yang's theories were getting more and more intense. From time to time, guests would look in their direction.
Su Zhi looked at her coldly, not wanting to argue any further. Seeing that it was about time, she said goodbye to Liu Yu An and left.
An Yang saw that she was about to leave, and warned her with a ferocious expression, "I said all that to make you understand that you should stay away from big brother Xiao. If you do not know what's good for you, this princess will not mind falling out with you! "
"Heh ~ Then let me also remind the princess, if you can grab onto a man's heart and guarantee that he won't go to another woman's place, then why did you come here to flaunt your might? You only chose to do it from me because you felt that you had no chance of getting Xiao Qian's pity. "Sorry, I've never bothered him before. If you don't believe me, you can ask him yourself."
Faced with An Yang's overbearing attitude, Su Zhi did not appear to be in a difficult position. She simply glanced at An Yang and left.
"Su Zhi, remember this!" The woman behind him twisted her face, undisguised hatred in her eyes.
As her mother had expected, the feast was not enough to fill her stomach. A pampered young prefecture lord had also appeared, causing trouble for her.
Xiao Qian and the others were indeed attracted by An Yang's attention.
It was unknown whether other than this troublesome master, there would be other ladies secretly watching him. It was truly a headache.
"Indeed, it's not a good thing for men to be too good-looking."
Su Zhi muttered as she walked out of the female guest's yard. She was lost in thought when she realized that she had deviated from her previous route. She did not know where she was at the Liu Estate, and she did not see a single customer!
She let out a sigh of frustration and randomly picked a small path to walk towards that direction. The more she walked, the more she realized that the yard was off to the side and she was completely unable to find the way back.
The woman was frowning unhappily, and a low coughing sound came from the shady part of the forest.
Su Zhi was overjoyed. She had finally seen a living person.
She quickly stepped forward and asked, "Is anyone here?"
No one answered her, and then there was a quiet cough.
"Your Highness, are you alright?" This subordinate will kick out those who disturbed your rest. "
"Don't, don't scare her."
Two short sentences of conversation intruded into Su Zhi's ears. She stopped and didn't dare to take a step forward.
Your Highness? It couldn't be that he was a noble like Lu Huan.
"Is the girl lost?" The man's voice that seemed to be on the verge of death sounded again.
Su Zhi's heart skipped a beat. She was such an intelligent person, yet she didn't even open her mouth. He actually knew that she was in an awkward situation.
"Sorry for disturbing you. I did get lost."
A young man was sitting on a stone table under the shade of a tree. He was dressed in a white fox fur coat.
His back was facing the small path in the courtyard, so the pedestrians could not see his expression clearly. Just his back alone could not conceal the unparalleled charm of his beauty. He was situated deep in the shadows of the forest, spotless and untainted.
"Girl, take a hundred steps back. There's a fork in the road, take a left."
The young man still didn't look back, but patiently answered her question.
Su Zhi hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you for your kind words."
Before the man could reply, Su Zhi heard a low cough and disordered breathing.
The guard beside her was getting impatient. He waved his hand at her and said, "Hurry up and leave, don't stay here any longer."
Su Zhi nodded and was about to turn around to leave when a voice called out to her. "Wait."
She stood in the distance and curiously stared at the man.
"Young master, do you have any other important matters?"
The man turned slowly and looked at her.
Under the bright, mottled sunlight, his young face was as white as jade, his lips were pale, but his black and white eyes were filled with a faint smile. Perhaps it was because he had been sick for a long time, but his body was very thin, thin, and even his two slender hands were so white that they were almost transparent.
Su Zhi was stunned, not because this seventeen or eighteen year old youth in front of her was handsome, but because his appearance suddenly gave her a familiar feeling.
"Big sister Su."
The youth looked at her with a smile on his face and his eyes blossomed.
"Big sister Su," she called out as if she had been waiting for a long time.
Su Zhi looked at him in surprise and replied blankly, "You're calling me?"
However, the problem was that she had never met this young man before. How would she know that her surname was Su?
In response to her surprise, the youth slowly stood up and was supported by the guards to walk two steps forward.
"Oh, maybe I was wrong. I'm so sorry."
He looked at Su Zhi closely and shook his head as if he had just realized something. "Recently, I always dream of an old friend. Miss looks too similar to her, and I apologize for being careless."
So she had recognized the wrong person. Su Zhi nodded in understanding and smiled indifferently, "It's alright. To be honest, I feel like I've met young master before."
The youth raised his eyebrows and looked at her with interest. The smile in his eyes had a layer of darkness that others couldn't see.
If he misunderstood her, he could just say it out loud. Su Zhi bent her knees and bid him farewell, then waved her hand and walked back the way she had come.
"You see, those who should come back, will come back sooner or later." The youth looked at the distant figure as he faintly said.
"Your Highness, you just called this woman …"
"Yes, that's right. She's back."
The swordsman guard's face changed drastically as he lowered his voice, "Since that's the case, Your Highness only needs to say one word, and Subordinate will ensure that she will never return."
The teenager shook his head with a faint smile. He put the back of his jade-white hand against his lips and coughed gently. Then, he put his hand down and quietly wiped away the bright red light. "No, she should have come back long ago. I've been waiting for her for a long time."
He looked at the empty courtyard with a complicated expression.
After walking around in circles for a long time, Su Zhi finally walked out of the courtyard and arrived at the front hall.
She thought to herself: I wonder if I'll be able to find Liu Yuan after this stroll.
The woman had originally planned to meet with Xiao Qian, but she decided against it. Anyway, this man would go to Spring Leaf Lane every night, it didn't matter whether he saw or not.
She followed the path out, randomly grabbed a woman dressed as a servant, and asked with a smile, "Miss, is this the way to the front hall? I want to go see your Lord Liu. "
The servant girl nodded, "Yes, we'll leave from here. But right now, sire is a bit busy, I'm afraid he won't be able to leave. Madam can look around anywhere before leaving."
"Thank you, I understand."
After letting the young maid go, Su Zhi continued to walk forward. She passed by another small courtyard and saw that it seemed that the banquet had just begun.
She remembered that her servant who had been leading her there had explained to her that this was a banquet eaten by officials and distinguished attendants. In other words, many of the old masters and madams' servants were dining here.
Now that the banquet had dispersed, more and more servants came to look for their masters.
Su Zhi followed the crowd and walked outside. Before she could take two steps, she was stopped by someone from behind.
She staggered, almost losing her footing.
"I am truly sorry. This servant deserves to die and disturbed the young lady!"
Su Zhi steadied her feet and turned around. She saw a woman in her forties with her head lowered and eyes lowered. She was extremely apologetic, afraid that she would vent her anger on her.
"It's okay, there are so many people here, I can't blame you."
The woman nodded her head repeatedly. "Thank you, young lady!" As he fawned over Su Zhi, he raised his head and looked at her.
However, a sliver of fear appeared in the woman's eyes the moment she raised her head. It was as if she had met with something terrifying.
She grabbed onto Su Zhi, her hands shaking in nervousness.
"You, you're the one!"
