"Die, why isn't she in the front hall?" Today, Liu Yi Chen received an invitation from the Han family's Scholar Han Lin, so he came with his mother. After sitting for a while in the front courtyard, he eagerly ran over.

"Yee ain't in the front hall either." Li Die revealed a smile as she looked at Liu Yi Chen. In the garden behind the Han Lin Scholar's Manor, Li Die was wearing a long dress with a peach blossom painted on her forehead.

"Young Master Liu." Just as Li Rou Ping and Li Manting were about to turn into the front hall, they happened to see Li Die and Liu Yi Chen at a corner of the garden.

"Miss Li." Liu Yi Chen nodded his head, unnoticeably frowning.

"Why isn't Young Master Liu in the front hall?" Li Rou Ping asked with a light smile.

"Then it's over. Farewell." As Li Rou Ping and Li Manting approached, Liu Yi Chen stood up and said. Without waiting for them to say anything else, he turned around and walked out.

Since there were both men and women attending the banquet, Li Xiangnan and Li Xiaoyuan were entertaining the male guests in the front hall while Lady Wang was entertaining the female guests who had come over from a pavilion.

After Li Die saw Liu Yi Chen leave, she did not even bother looking at the expressions on their faces as she walked in another direction.

Li Rou Ping and Li Manting both had ugly expressions on their faces as they stared at Li Die's back as if they wanted to see through it.

Only when she could no longer be seen did Li Rou Ping put away her terrifying expression and said to her, "Let's hurry up and go over!"

When Li Die walked into the side hall, it was already very lively. There were a few people that came up to talk with her, and Li Die was smiling as she replied.

"So this is the Fifth Miss!" I never thought that it would actually be marked as such! " A lady wearing a purple dress came up and held Li Die's hand as she said this.

After hearing the woman's praise, Lady Wang didn't know if she should be happy or not. She could only nod and say, "This child has been raised in my uncle's house and has been spoiled."

In contrast to the bustle in the side hall, Aunt Zhou's room was very quiet. There was a window in the room, but the room was extremely hot and stuffy. It was almost unbearable, not to mention a pregnant woman who was already afraid of heat.

"Who knows where the mosquitoes came from last night. They are so powerful that even the aroma of the mosquitoes can't be used anymore." Cai Yun carefully fanned Aunt Zhou as she whispered to her.

Right now, because she was pregnant, Zhou Yi could be said to be in a very good mood. She wasn't angry at Cai Yun's words, but rather stretched out her bright red finger and rubbed it against her teacup.

He teased her with a smile on his face, "I don't know if it's because I didn't count up the amount of mosquitoes last night. That's why I felt that the mosquitoes were useless."

"Aunt has wronged this servant!" This servant had burnt ten times over! Who knew that all the mosquitoes we saw this morning would be useless. " Caiyun saw that Auntie Zhou was in a good mood, and even teased her occasionally, making her happy.

Although there was Cai Yun fanning her body, it didn't take long for all the sweat on Madame Zhou's body to drench her body. It felt extremely uncomfortable to have it stick so close to her body.

"Go to the icehouse and fetch some ice cubes to place in the house to cool it down." Auntie Zhou turned her head slightly to the side as she spoke. The temperature in the room was unbearable.

"Yes, Aunt." Cai Yun put down the fan and quickly retreated. She knew that her master's temper was even more torturous in this sultry situation. She was afraid that her carelessness would make her suffer, so she quickened her pace.

"Sister Caiyun." Yu Juan, who had come over from behind, saw Cai Yun, who was standing next to Madame Zhou. With a smile, she quickly walked up to her.

Cai Yun had already stopped when she heard Yu Juan's voice. She looked at her with a puzzled expression. She didn't know when she had gotten to know her so well.

"Sister Caiyun was originally here! "It's easy to find you, little sister." Yu Juan walked in front of her with a smile and said. When Cai Yun heard that she was looking for her, she was slightly stunned. She did not understand when the servant girl she was with from another courtyard had become so happy for her, and even made her come specially to look for her.

"I wonder why little sister Yujuan is looking for me?" Although Cai Yun was puzzled, she didn't show it on her face.

"I've long heard that her elder sister said that Sister Caiyun's needlework skills are the most outstanding in the clan. Now, younger sister would like to ask elder sister to help!" Yu Juan blinked and said rather mischievously. Indeed, Yu Juan was two years younger than Cai Yun, and her mouth was now as sweet as if it had been smeared with honey. She called her sister 'elder sister' in such a manner that it made people feel warm inside.

The two of them, who hadn't gotten to know each other yet, were getting more and more excited.

"But I still have to get some ice cubes for Aunt to take back!" Aunt Zhou had a temper recently! "If you return late, don't take my skin too seriously." Caiyun shook her head, refusing them all. Aunt Zhou's anger was frightening!

"Elder sister, please help me take a look!" I can't mistake you for spending too much effort. Moreover, this embroidery was handed to my sister by my aunt for her to finish. Yu Juan's arm, which was holding Cai Yun, shook, nearly causing her to be hung up. The fawning look on his face was laughable.

Caiyun couldn't help laughing out loud. When Yu Juan saw her smile, she seemed to be pleasantly surprised. With a pair of glittering eyes staring at her, she didn't know how she could help but feel a little embarrassed.

And it was also at that very instant that Yu Juan smiled at her and said, "Elder sister is smiling. If elder sister is smiling, you have agreed to accompany your younger sister for a visit."

"I'm really afraid of you. Let's go faster like this!" I'll be back in a bit with ice cubes. " Cai Yun smiled and pulled her arm as she spoke.

Seeing that she had agreed to his request, Yu Juan was even more elated. She pulled Cai Yun's hand and quickly ran to her room, afraid that she would go back on her word soon.

After Cai Yun had left, Madame Zhou had been sitting in her room, waving her fan about. But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get rid of the fire and frustration in her heart.
