"Wei'er? Who's the one? "Did auntie recognize the wrong person?"

That person was staring at her with a gaze that seemed to be able to see through her.

"No, you are …"

The woman raised her voice and looked at her surroundings. She realized that she had lost her composure and immediately let go of her. However, her eyes were still round and round as she stared unblinkingly at her, as if she had received a great shock.

In less than the time it took to make a cup of tea, Su Zhi had been mistaken twice.

Could it be that someone looked very similar to her? Or maybe … The relationship of the original owner?

She scratched her head in confusion and walked forward hesitantly. From time to time, she turned her head to look at the old mistress. Her eyes were slightly red, and it seemed as if tears were about to fall from them.

Su Zhi panicked, and ran away as fast as she could.

This was a little strange. Why did both of them recognize her wrongly?

The guests had not completely dispersed from the main hall yet, so Liu Yu An was busy greeting them through the crowd.

From afar, he couldn't see Xiao Qian, but he could see Lu Huan's laughter playing with the ladies of the Shangguan Family.

From the looks of it, most of the reputable people in the capital had come to congratulate Old mister Liu!

The Liu family had a strict background and was a family with a civil service background. It was no wonder that Liu Yu-an gave them face and came to support them.

Su Zhi had originally wanted to go back and say goodbye to Aunty Liu, but after looking around, she was afraid that she had made a mistake. She could only stand at her original spot, and wait for the guests to leave before going up again.

"I've been looking for you for so long, so you're actually here!"

A suppressed joy came from behind Su Zhi as she moved her palm across his gentle touch.

She lowered her head to look and could not help but blush, "There are so many people here, don't make a fuss."

The woman shook off Xiao Qian's hand and felt her palm heat up.

"Men and women are sitting separately from each other today. I'm afraid that I won't be able to find you, but I'm also afraid that An Yang will be infuriating you. I'm not in the mood to drink, and I've offended a bunch of veterans."

Since An Yang was not mentioned, Xiao Qian didn't mention it.

Su Zhi's face turned cold, and gently pushed him away, "Go up and greet him, I'll take the chance to talk to him. We can't stay here any longer."

Xiao Qian looked sideways at her, a little flustered. "Anyang really pissed you off?"

The more he spoke, the angrier he got!

"You talk so much nonsense, why aren't you going up!"

This man was so smart that he used it to fight and kill the enemy. Although he was more intelligent than Qian Linglong, he became a fool when it came to this matter.

"Don't be angry, I'll bring you to bid farewell to Lord Liu."

Xiao Qian was afraid that she wasn't happy, so he quickly went up to talk to Liu Yuan.

Su Zhi rolled her eyes at him, and followed him very unwillingly.

"Lady Su, I'm really sorry for not being well-received today."

Liu Yuan cupped his fists and bowed slightly. His attitude was very sincere.

Su Zhi quickly waved her hand. "Words? Lord Liu is too polite."

"When Lady Su comes to the Liu Estate as a guest again, I will definitely accompany you."

Xiao Qian interrupted their conversation, "This general has heard that Mister Liu has hidden two pots of the finest flowers. Why are you so petty? Why don't you bring it for everyone to try?"

Seeing this, Liu Yuan laughed loudly and said, "If General is interested, come to the mansion another day. I will definitely have a good time entertaining you."

Su Zhi laughed to herself. Xiao Qian's little trick was really childish and funny.

How could she not know what this man was thinking? She didn't say anything else and only bid farewell to Liu Yuan.

Since Su Zhi was being held up by Xiao Qian, it wasn't good for Liu Yuan to see her out. He could only instruct the butler to personally send her out.

Once Su Zhi had left, Xiao Qian withdrew his interest in fine wine and his attitude became much colder.

"It just so happens that today, those of me who haven't been out for a long time are able to meet the hottest and hottest newcomer to the Great Wei Empire."

The two of them looked behind them and saw the purple-dressed woman dashing towards them, each step she took creating lotuses.

"It is truly fortunate that Madame Jiang came to my humble abode." Liu Yu-an clasped his hands in a gentle bow.

Xiao Qian, on the other hand, nodded indifferently, "Greetings, Lady Jiang."

Jiang Si smiled and said, "The two of you are both the noblest and most powerful officials of the imperial court, but now you can stand together peacefully. It's not like how people say, civil and military officials are at odds with each other."

"What about Madam? General Xiao and I have never been at odds with each other because of a certain point of view."

Jiang Si gave a faint smile and said, "Yeah, Wei and Changsheng are inseparable from the pillars of our country."

Xiao Qian nodded in agreement. Although he said it with some difficulty, his mind was already on Su Zhi's side.

It was still early in the morning, so he could still follow her around the streets.

"I won't be bothering you two any longer. I have some matters to attend to, so I'll be taking my leave."

Liu Yuan didn't want him to stay and just let him be.

Jiang Si had no intention to stay here any longer. He said a few words of blessings to Mr. Liu and prepared to leave as well.

"Madam!" Xu Yue, who had rushed over, called out to her.

"Since Madam still has matters to attend to, I won't bother you any longer."

Jiang Si knelt down, "Say goodbye to Lord Liu."

Xu Yue wanted to say something, but stopped and followed her out of the Liu Estate's main entrance. As soon as he got on the carriage, he couldn't hold back his tears. He knelt down in front of her with a plop and started crying.

"Madam, your servant has seen Xiu-Er!"

Jiang Si held up Xu Yue, who was so excited that he was about to cry, and said in confusion, "What's wrong, Aunt Xu? Who did you say you saw? "

"It's Wei'er!" "She's back!"

Hearing that, Jiang Si was shocked, "Wise? You mean the one in the palace? "

Xu Yue's head was like a clove of garlic as he cried at the top of his lungs, "It's been five years. These five years, I've been suffering day in and day out. Now, I've finally found someone."

"That's impossible, Wei'er died a long time ago. Five years ago, the great fire inside the Liu Li Palace burned for three whole days, and no one can return! "

The fire originated from the favored Xuan Fei's chambers. The source of the fire was strange. It was clearly winter, but the intensity of the fire only increased. No matter how many people tried, they couldn't save it.

It took them three days to extinguish their flames, taking away nearly a hundred servants of the Glazed Palace, as well as the recently born Prince Xuan Fei, and the little prince who was born a month later.

According to the rumors in the harem, if Xuan Fei gave birth to her magic seed, she would be in danger.

The heavens could not bear to see the common people suffer, and did not want the Lu family's century-old foundation to be destroyed. Therefore, a great fire had fallen from the sky, and the Demon Consort and the child that should not have been born had been taken back.

He still vividly remembered the old days. That palace which had scorched half of the capital's sky, the cries of innocent palace servants, the cries of babies, and the shrill cries of beautiful women.

Jiang Si was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat while his hands were slightly trembling. Two streams of clear tears gushed out from his eyes.

"Yeah, it's been five years."

Xu Yue sobbed, his red and swollen eyes beating himself with all his might. "If this servant hadn't gone to the Palace to look for His Majesty, I wouldn't have been taken advantage of by a thief and killed my poor young miss."

Now that that person had returned, Feng Chen's past could only be seen in the light of day. The truth should always surface on the surface.

"Madam, this servant is going to look for her. I must get to the bottom of this, maybe our little prince is still alive!"

Jiang Si quivered and abruptly opened his eyes wide, "Who are you looking for? A wench? "I don't know who that person is, but if you rashly go, I'm afraid you'll alert the enemy. It's not like you don't know our situation."

Xu Yue wasn't willing to give up and begged, "But this servant can't just ignore it. Even if it's just a sliver of hope, I still have to firmly grasp it, right?"

"Isn't your wish the same as mine? If it is, why would you openly come to the Liu Family? Are you not afraid of being seen? " Suddenly, Jiang Si thought of the woman he had just met and felt that he had seen her somewhere with just a glance.

"I think I know which one you are referring to. Just now, I saw a woman in the Liu Estate. She was none other than the new manager of Flower Mansion."

After a pause, she confirmed again, "Are you sure it's Xiu-Er? You haven't seen her for five years, do you still remember her appearance? Even if she was still alive, she couldn't be what you remembered. Furthermore, Wei'er was only thirteen when she entered the palace, and she was only fourteen when the fire started. "

"This servant is certain that this servant was the one who brought the child into the palace. Although a few years have passed and his appearance has grown, his foundation is there. How could I possibly recognize him wrong?"

Xu Yue's certainty made Jiang Si hesitate. After all, they hadn't met in five years, so there was too much uncertainty.

Besides, all these years, the Jiang family had been completely suppressed by Empress Zhao. One wrong move and they'd lose everything. She couldn't afford to gamble.

"Based on your own words, I can't be sure. Who else was in the family? If she was close to him, he would definitely recognize her. "

Xu Yue thought for a moment, then replied, "Her parents were long gone, but she still has a cousin who was married to a child. She's the same age as her."

Jiang Si nodded seriously and said, "Go and get cousin Xiu-Er. If he agrees, I will admit that she is back."

The girl who should have died in the fire actually returned to her homeland five years later. If she was still alive, why hadn't she been missing for five years? Why did he suddenly appear again?
