Fourth Miss brought Fifth Miss and led the way ahead. The two ladies of the Jiang family stood by my side, one on each side. Third Miss and Miss Zhang followed slowly behind. The two ladies of the Jiang family chatted and laughed with me as they walked.

It was still early spring, and the garden of the Xue family was a little desolate. Most of the branches were either bare or slightly greenish. Miss Zhang curled her lips and said, "So it turns out that Miss Xue is the kind of person who treats guests. Let us look at these branches." She had a sneer on her face, and her pretty features were deformed.

The fourth miss covered her ears and shouted, "The mad dog has started to bark again. I won't listen." When the other young ladies saw this, they could not help but laugh. Miss Zhang was so angry that her face was distorted, but there was nothing they could say to refute it. The moment they opened their mouth, she would turn into a mad dog again?

After walking past the garden, the trees gradually grew green, and the deeper we went, the denser the flowers and trees seemed to become in the spring. Noticing that I was carefully examining every leaf, the Jiang family's eldest daughter took the initiative to explain, "The Xue family has managed to occupy a good place. There is a mountain behind the garden of the Xue family, and on the mountain is a hot spring. "Because of this, the deeper you go, the warmer it gets. Trees are always green." Second Miss Jiang mumbled, "If it wasn't for her family having such a strange garden and Miss Xue being so kind, who would want to come?"

"Rou Er!" Don't speak nonsense! Be careful I tell my mother. " Eldest Miss Jiang raised her eyebrows. If these words were to spread, people would definitely misunderstand. Second Miss Jiang stuck out her tongue at me.

"Look at my sister!" Big Miss Jiang held my hand, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Why are the sisters here?" Big Miss Xue and Second Miss Xue had been waiting inside the pavilion long ago. The pavilion was built in the middle of the hot spring, and only a single wooden bridge had passed through. Beneath it was a steaming hot spring, and the roof of the pavilion was made of straw.

When the ladies entered the pavilion, they separated. I sat together with the young miss of the Jiang family, who seemed to be extremely interested in my life at home. Miss Xue Si and Second Miss Jiang occupied a corner of the pavilion. Miss Xue San and Miss Zhang sat in front of the chessboard. The two of them sat alone at the side, playing chess. From time to time, strange laughter could be heard. Second Miss Xue stood on our side and helped us serve the pastries and set the teacups. Eldest Miss Xue walked around, saying a few words here and there.

"Sister, is there anything I can help you with?" Eldest Miss Xue gently asked Second Miss Jiang. Before Second Miss could reply, Fourth Miss said, "Big sister, I want to play the top." Eldest Miss Xue frowned. "This place is too small. Why don't you play with this when you're back at night?" He did not reprimand his sister, but merely stated the facts.

"Sister, please." Miss Xue acted like a spoiled child and shook her sister's sleeve. Miss Xue couldn't stand her rubbing. She smiled and said, "Alright, alright. I'll find a few people to follow you." Eldest Miss Xue repeatedly told the two ladies that their mother must take good care of them. Miss Xue looked a little disappointed. "Alright." Chuckling, Jiang Er xiaojie held hands and led the servants away.

Second Miss Xue was already sitting with us, talking about embroidery and matching. The three of us were sitting together, eating pastries and drinking tea.

"Alright, Little Ling'er, you stole the lazy son." Eldest Miss Xue smiled as she sat beside Eldest Miss Jiang, teasing her sister.

Second Miss Xue pursed her lips and smiled shyly, "With elder sister here, what am I busy with? I'm obviously looking for a place to enjoy myself!"

"Alright, you started making me up too." Eldest Miss Xue put down the teacup heavily, as if she was angry. Second Miss Xue put on an air of anger and said, "Good elder sister, can't I be wrong? Don't tell me that we have to ask our little sister to take the blame? " As he spoke, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

As they were talking and laughing, they heard a loud bang. Miss Xue quickly stood up. "What's wrong?" Faintly, the sounds of arguing and crying could be heard. Miss Xue quickly walked over. The servants surrounding her all automatically opened up a path for her.

"What's going on?" The maid, who was covered in tea, was trembling and was unable to speak a single word. Miss Xue San, who was sitting lightly to the side, held a teacup in her hand as she elegantly sipped on her tea. When Miss Xue saw this scene, she could not help but feel a trace of anger sliding down her face.

"Aiya, it's actually nothing much!" Third Miss' fingernails were exceptionally bright under the sunlight. "When Miss Zhang and I were playing chess, our maidservants came to serve tea and accidentally knocked away Big Sister's chess piece." If you look carefully, there was indeed a white chess piece lying quietly on the ground. "

"It was my carelessness!" Big Miss Xue's expression was already ugly. Even if she knocked away the chess piece, she wouldn't go all out like this. It was still cold in the early spring. If he were to pour a cup of tea like this, his clothes would be soaked through with water and he would definitely be sick. Miss Zhang had always been requested to be respectful, magnanimous, and magnanimous. Even if it was for her reputation, she would not care about it. Who would have thought that Miss Zhang seemed to only care about her reputation and would only do things according to her own heart?

"I've disturbed his mood for chess." There was a flirtatious tone in Third Miss' lazy voice as she said, "Big sister, don't you think so?"

"Hmph." Ms. Zhang threw the teacup on the table onto the ground. There was a crisp sound of shattering porcelain. There was still some blood on the little girl's face. She was sobbing but didn't dare to get up.

Big Miss Xue stepped in front of the little girl. "Sister, why so bitter?" She stared stubbornly at Miss Zhang, who sat down and no longer made a sound. Miss Jiang whispered to me, "I thought my grandfather was a statesman, and he had his own sister in the palace, so he was lawless." Miss Zhang glared at me and Miss Jiang.

"Didn't the First Miss want to show us the plum blossoms? Why did you make the guests sit here? " Miss Zhang asked coquettishly.

Eldest Miss Xue suddenly became angry, "Our family's Plum Blessing looks out from this pavilion from afar. Could it be that little sister has never heard of the famous saying, 'knowing from a distance that it's not snow but only the fragrance of hidden fragrance'?" Miss Zhang stood up and was about to leave when everyone around her jumped in fright. She abruptly turned her head and said, "I'm going to tell Matriarch Xue that her eldest daughter is looking down on our Zhang Clan." Everyone panicked and quickly pulled her back. The argument between the ladies turned into a family dispute just like that.

"Sister, you just have to go and take a good look at us." Eldest Miss Xue could only comfort her with warm words.

The corner of Ms. Zhang's mouth had a complacent smile, a pair of beautiful dimples. She slanted her eyes at me, her eyes filled with flying colors.
