Seeing Yan Hong's relaxed expression, Liu Yue knew that they had settled the matter.
Sure enough, the moment Yan Hong walked closer to her, she spoke as if she was taking credit, "Sister Liu Yue, I have done everything!"
"Well, did you see her drink it?" After all, there couldn't be the slightest mistake in this matter. Otherwise, it would be difficult to find another opportunity.
The bright red chicken nodded its head like rice pecking, and looked at her excitedly: "I personally saw Third Concubine drink it, so I came to report to you, Big Sister Liu Yue. Where is Eldest Miss?"
How could Miss come to see a second-rate servant girl like her? Liu Yue smiled meaningfully and said, "Just wait for news from the young miss. When I need your help, I'll come back and notify you!"
Hearing that, although Yan Hong was unhappy, she could only nod her head and obediently follow their instructions. Before she left, she even said, "Then I would like to ask Big Sister Liu Yue to help me speak up in front of Big Miss, Yan Hong is extremely grateful!"
"Alright, alright, I got it!" Liu Yue was too lazy to continue talking to her, she waved her hand and returned to the courtyard Shi Anran was staying in.
Shi Anran had just finished bathing, and was draped with a pure white muslin. A pair of white jade feet stepped on a blanket, and her hair was like a waterfall of ink, which was casually draped behind her, allowing the maid to carefully take care of it.
Liu Yue knocked on the door and walked in, and greeted her: "Young miss, everything has been completed, now young miss can rest assured!"
"Mm, I understand. Tomorrow at this time, tell that servant to go to the Zither Heart Small Foundation to find me!" Shi Anran had already made a plan in her heart. In her previous life, it was because she was too merciful that she ended up like this.
Zither Heart Pavilion was a very famous teahouse. During one's free time, many of the nobles and young masters of wealthy families would come here to drink tea and listen to books.
Shi Anran was bored by this, and rarely visited this place. Today, Shi Anran could be considered to have made an exception.
She asked for a pot of Dragon Well of the West Lake to taste it for herself. After Liu Yue poured a cup for her, she stood to the side and said nothing more.
Shi Anran lifted the teacup, and lightly closed her eyes. The aroma of the tea assaulted her nostrils, and her lips faintly curved into an elegant and attractive arc. Her cherry red lips moved closer to the exquisite wine cup, and lightly took a sip to savor the aroma of the tea.
Several noble young masters in the teahouse had already noticed her. However, they didn't dare to disturb her even though they were separated by the beaded curtain.
"Go and check, see who it is." A man in a navy blue robe whispered to his attendant.
The man beside him glanced at him and said, "What?" "Brother Lin is interested in this woman?"
The man who was addressed as "Brother Lin" laughed, "Third Prince is flattering me. I indeed saw that the woman had an extraordinary temperament and wanted to get to know her."
Li Mu smirked, "I'm afraid Brother Lin is not going to have the good fortune to go through with it."
"What do you mean?"
Li Mu's gaze dimmed, "This is the big miss of Shi Family, he had long promised the young master of Xiang Family."
"So that's how it is …"
Shi Anran sat sideways, the corner of her eyes captivated by the interaction between the two of them, and she secretly sneered in her heart, Third Prince was the chess piece she was going to take the next step of, she did not expect to coincidentally meet him here today.
"Miss, she's here."
In the pavilion, Liu Yue saw the pretty girl who was sitting next to the Third Concubine from afar, so she bent over and whispered a reminder into Shi Anran's ear. Shi Anran nodded slightly, paid the tea fee, and the two left the teahouse.
As she walked past Third Prince, Shi Anran seemingly inadvertently raised her hand and slightly hooked a few strands of hair that were scattered in front of her forehead. Her bright and beautiful eyes, however, did not look at him once.
After Shi Anran left, Li Mu stood up and picked up the scented sachet that shedropped. Looking at Shi Anran's back as she left, she actually had some sort of strange emotion.
Yi Yue held up a parasol for Shi Anran while Liu Yue brought the servant girl to an alley. Standing in front of an unremarkable carriage, he said to the man with the servant girl on his back, "This is the wife that I have chosen for you. Are you satisfied?"
The young man was only in his early thirties, so he naturally liked sixteen or seventeen years old girls like this. Moreover, the appearance of this servant girl wasn't bad. He immediately nodded and praised, "Satisfied, very satisfied!" As he said that, he gave Liu Yue some silver and headed towards the servant impatiently.
Seeing that Liu Yue had left, the young maid pulled her sleeves and asked anxiously, "Sister Liu Yue, didn't you say that the young miss was here?" She faintly felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't pinpoint exactly what was wrong for an instant.
Liu Yue looked at her with a smile that was not a smile, and looked at the young man. The young man knocked her out with a wave of his hand, then pulled the young maid into his embrace.
"There's no need to be polite, this lady is also a servant of a noble family. Don't bring her back here, otherwise there will be big trouble!" Liu Yue said.
The young man nodded, "Don't worry miss. This is the first time I've returned here to do business. I won't be back in the future!"
Liu Yue laughed and nodded, "Let's go quickly, so as to not be discovered."
Seeing Liu Yue send her away, Shi Anran still did not have the slightest expression on her face. When she was not scheming against others, it was someone else who was scheming against her. Rather than dying miserably in the end, it was better to pave a path for her future step by step.
As the few of them strolled around the market, Liu Yue would always take a look at anything fresh that looked new. Seeing that she was too lively, Yi Yue became a little impatient, "Can't you calm down a little?"
"I would like to have a look and choose a scented sachet for xiaojie!" Liu Yue continued to rummage around the stall.
Speaking of the scented sachet, Shi Anran remembered what happened just now. She had intentionally left the scented sachet at the teahouse, so she guessed that Third Prince was very curious about the scented sachet. Thinking of this, Shi Anran couldn't help but shake her head and chuckle.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way …"
It was unknown which family's horse was frightened, but it actually started running in the market. Even after it had injured many people, it still did not stop. The crowd immediately became anxious, as if they were pushed into a mess, Shi Anran and Yi Yue also broke up. After she took a breath, she saw the horse rushing towards her. Everyone covered their eyes, unable to bear to look at this bloody scene.
"Miss …" Liu Yue shouted, even if they wanted to go and save him, it would be too late.
Shi Anran had originally thought that she would be buried under the hooves of the horses. In a split-second, her waist suddenly tightened, and before she could even regain her senses, a pair of large hands grabbed onto her waist. The unique aura of a man assaulted her face, so close that she could feel his strong heartbeat.
Shi Anran looked up. She only reacted half a day later, after she clearly saw who saved her. In her previous life, this had never happened before, and even she had never expected this to happen.
With one hand around her waist, and the other around her shoulder, Xiang Rongcheng flew up. In other words, if Xiang Rongcheng had not saved him today, Shi Anran might not even be able to continue "Anran".
The two of them steadily landed on the ground, causing everyone to suck in a breath of cold air. Liu Yue and Yi Yue hurriedly ran over, and upon seeing that Shi Anran was fine, they all heaved a sigh of relief.
