Chapter 106: The Chaos Starts

The 10th day of August.

Seeing that the Mid Autumn Festival was coming, and the construction of the courtyard for a home visit was coming to an end, the Rongguo Mansion was busy all over the place, not to mention the one who had errands, even the idle and lazy people have to pretend they’re busy.

However, Liwan had nothing to do with all this because she could not be favored by Madam Wang. She had no real power in her hands as the Eldest Mistress in the family. If she really had to calculate it, she was afraid that she could afford the words "rich, noble, and idle" more than Jia Baoyu.

That morning, Liwan was sitting in front of the Buddhist shrine and meditating on the Sutra when someone outside smiled like a silver bell and said, "Whoa, Eldest Madam, your posture looks so dignified, like the Guanyin. I didn't recognize you at first glance."

Liwan looked back and saw Ping’er standing outside the door. She quickly got up and welcomed her. She smiled and said, "If I worship the Buddha at will, I will become the Goddess of Mercy. Then, if your Master gives orders all day long, isn't he going to be Wu Zetian?"

She talked and laughed, and then pulled Ping’er into the door.

Ping’er refused. She slightly avoided sideways and smiled, "Aunt Lai sent a parrot to the Old Lady. The little beak was very pleasing. The Old Lady asked people to call all the children to have a look. Now that the Second Master Bao has arrived, only you are left."

Hearing that it was Jia's mother who invited her, Liwan naturally did not dare to snub her. She hurriedly called Suyun, the eldest maid, and followed Ping’er out of the yard.

Unexpectedly, after leaving the courtyard, a servant girl was waiting outside, and it was Wang Xifeng's second-class servant girl, Sister Shan.

"Huh?"

Liwan suddenly wondered, "Why did she send two here at the same time?"

"She just came back from the other side of the yard and happened to bump into me, so she joined us."

Ping’er perfunctorily replied, which was not a big deal, so Liwan didn’t go into it.

The four of them were talking and laughing all the way. Seeing that they were in front of the two doors, Ping'er suddenly stopped and said, "Ah! Look at my memory, my Second Madam asked me to take a cloak. I forgot everything!"

With these words, Liwan, the Master, and the servant were asked to wait here for a moment, and then she went to fetch the cloak in a hurry.

Liwan watched Ping’er's back disappear around the corner, wondering why she didn't let her Sister Shan run errands, but she had to work herself, but suddenly she was pulled at the corners of her clothes.

Looking back, she saw that Suyun's eyes were like autumn water and her cheeks were like a flying rainbow. She secretly pointed to the flower bed beside and whispered, "That book was found here, Eldest Madam."

This little hoof!

This person was none other than Wang Xifeng's servant girl, Sister Shan.

And her sudden voice made both sides embarrassed immediately.

In particular, the Master and servant of Liwan did not know what to do, but Zhou Rui, the steward, suddenly appeared behind Sun Shaozong. He pointed at Sister Shan and shouted, "What are you talking about? Lord Sun is the guest invited by Second Master Lian. Is he someone you can shout at?"

He then apologized to Liwan and said, "I'm a little slow here and bumped into the Eldest Madam. Please forgive me."

When Liwan got to this step, she leaned over and forced a smile. "It's okay," she said. "We are waiting here too and bumped into Lord Sun."

With these words, she led Suyun and Sister Shan back to one side and motioned for Sun Shaozong to go first.

Although she still had the shyness about lowering her head in her heart, Sun Shaozong didn't want to stay any longer, so he had to pretend that nothing had happened and walked with Zhou Rui to a flower hall in the east.

Liwan peered at his back, and she was very disappointed.

"Eh, what’s wrong with Eldest Madam?"

At this time, she heard a strange saying, "How can you turn so red in the twinkling of an eye?"

Only then did Liwan discover that Ping'er had arrived some time ago with a food box in her hand, in addition to a scarlet cloak.

Afraid of Ping'er's careful inquiry, she hastened, "Why did you go for so long? Hurry, don't let the old Lady wait for so long!"

With that, she couldn’t wait to pull Ping'er with her.

"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry!"

Liwan hurriedly turned aside again, handed the box forward, and said, "I have a job to tell you, Sister Shan, please take it to the Second Madam later. Don't delay!"

The kind-hearted Sister Shan answered solemnly. Her eyebrows were rather solemn and excited. It was not as simple as giving a food box.

It's a pity that Liwan was now bent on covering up the embarrassing situation, so how could she still observe the others?

While waiting for Sister Shan to take the food box, she urged Ping’er to go to Jia's mother with a cascade of sounds.
