Chapter Fifty-two: The Back Garden is Full of Right and Wrong

  But little did Liu Rong know that someone was worried about her behind her back. Along the way, although she didn't intentionally slow down, she didn't seem to be in a hurry either. She walked through the long corridor, passed by the plum garden's pebble-paved path, and finally followed Dong Er to the backyard, stopping in front of the opera stage.

  "Miss, let's hurry up and deliver the goods, so we can settle this matter and you won't have to worry about it anymore." As soon as they arrived at the theater, Dong'er, adhering to her philosophy of "dying early is better than suffering later", quickly spoke to Liu Rong. She really felt that knowing Miss was going to do something dangerous and waiting for it to happen was more agonizing than being punished. She really didn't want to continue like this anymore.

  "What's the hurry?" Liu Rong looked towards the stage, roughly due to time constraints, there were young Sheng actors rehearsing on the stage, while the older ones were back and forth moving things around, roughly preparing for tonight's play.

  Liu Rong carefully observed, waiting until she saw a middle-aged man with a stout build wearing a green long gown standing next to the stage, before walking forward: "Are you the owner of this theater troupe?"

  "Good eyesight, young lady! I am indeed Li, the master of Chun Xi class." With a round and plump face, Master Chun Xi smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, his two eyes almost closing together.

  Liu Rong's eyes sparkled: "So the opera troupe invited by the Weibei Marquis this time is actually the Chunxi Troupe! I've long heard that the Chunxi Troupe is the best in the entire capital, and I've always wanted to see them perform. Who would have thought that not only would I get to watch them tonight, but also have the good fortune of meeting Li, the troupe leader." Liu Rong's face was radiant with joy as she spoke.

  Li Ban Zhu laughed even more happily, his eyes almost becoming a straight line: "I don't dare, I don't dare."

  Liu Rong's eyes flickered: "I have a younger sister who loves to watch plays, and she's always talking about Chun Xi Ban's performances. It just so happens that she's in the rockery of the backyard...". Liu Rong said with an imploring expression on her face, while taking off a golden bangle from her sleeve and handing it to Li Banzhuan: "Could you please ask someone who is relatively free to go over there and sing a segment for my sister?"

  Dong Er stared at the crimson gold bangle handed over by Liu Rong, her eyes widening in surprise. This was the very bangle that Zhen Er's wife had given to Miss, and it was the only piece of jewelry that Miss could wear when meeting guests...and yet, it was being handed over to Li Ban Zhu just like that.

  Dong Er's heart ached, unable to understand what Liu Rong was going to do, yet worried that she had ruined things for the other person. She could only watch as Li Ban Zhu smiled and put away the bangle, weighing it in his hand. After the golden bangle disappeared, she felt as if her heart had been stabbed, bleeding continuously.

  "You're too polite, miss. You're our guest, and you want to hear a preview of the performance." As he spoke, Li Ban Zhu called out to one of the young men moving boxes: "Liu Cheng, follow this young lady and sing a segment for her sister. Remember to come back before the evening performance starts."

  Liu Rong smiled sweetly: "I really want to thank Principal Li, you are the most understanding and reasonable principal I have ever met."

  After Li Ban's master left, Dong'er pulled up Liu Rong's sleeve: "Miss, what are you doing? You're not doing anything serious, and you're taking out such a valuable red gold bangle. This red gold bangle can still be used as your dowry in the future."

  Liu Rong was rendered speechless by Dong Er's sharp logic: "You can really relate everything to marriage, I think you're so eager to get married that you've gone crazy. When I return to the Hou Mansion, I'll ask Second Madam to take a look and see if there are any good families that can be entrusted with you."

  Dong Er's face turned red: "How can you be like this, I was obviously doing it all for your own good, and yet you're always teasing me."

  Liu Rong's expression turned serious: "I'm telling the truth." After a slight pause, she continued: "But let's talk about this later when we get back. For now, can you help me keep an eye on Liu Cheng and have him draw a female attire? The better it looks, the better."

  Liu Rong was looking for an actor, but Zhen Miss was running desperately for Liu Rong's sake. In the end, she rushed into someone's arms and when she finally saw clearly who it was, her face turned bright red: "I... I'm sorry."

  The person who was bumped had a good piece of sheep fat jade on his waist that shook several times, and he looked down at Miss Zhen's hesitant appearance, but slightly frowned: "It's okay, just pay attention next time when walking." As he spoke, he took a step to the side and was about to leave.

  "Sixth imperial grandson, let's take a break for now. I'm really exhausted and can't walk anymore. It's almost time for dinner anyway, and searching like headless flies isn't a good method either. Let's wait until dinner is served, then I'll ask my grandmother about Lyu Rong's whereabouts." Liu Bo said to Shangguan Chen, panting and holding his waist as he followed behind him, he was really unable to walk anymore after walking for so long.

  Miss Zhen saw Shangguan Chen retreat indifferently, feeling a little lost. But thinking of Liu Rong's matter, she thought about hurrying over quickly, and instead put this faint sense of loss aside. Just as she was about to leave, she heard Liu Bo mention Liu Rong, and her footsteps paused: "You... are you looking for Liu Rong?"

  "Are you two the ones Liu Rong wants to send things to?" Miss Zhen asked, looking at the two of them.

  Shangguan Chen's footsteps paused, and he immediately turned around to look at Zhen Miss: "Do you know where Liu Rong is?"

  Liu Rong couldn't help but let out a sneeze, and she didn't know who was muttering about her. After instructing Dong Er to keep an eye on Liu Cheng from behind the stage, she put on a beautiful woman's dress, but instead of relaxing, she asked a maid who was delivering things nearby where the fake mountain was around here, and then walked alone in the direction the maid pointed out.

  I don't know what the Weibei Marquis's intention was when building this artificial mountain, but I saw that the artificial mountain is surrounded by green cypress trees on all sides, and there are also grasses and woods covering it. If one doesn't pay attention carefully, they won't notice that behind the first artificial mountain, there is a vacant space. Liu Rong followed the path told by her maid to walk towards the back of the artificial mountain.

  But as she walked through the winding path beside the artificial hill, a figure crouched among the grass and trees. When she saw Liu Rong walking in, she couldn't help but stand up, and under the sunlight, an ordinary yet slyly smiling face stood out. If Liu Rong turned her head, she would be able to see and recognize the face that had been against her since she arrived at the Weibei Marquis's residence - Chen Er Miss.

  Miss Chen II looked at Liu Rong disappearing around the corner of the small path before quickly turning and leaving.

  Dong Er stared at Liu Cheng's makeup, but in her heart she was worried about Liu Rong. She didn't have the mind to carefully look at Liu Cheng's attire, and instead kept pacing back and forth, feeling annoyed that she should be following Miss, rather than listening to Miss' words and waiting here, leaving Liu Rong alone outside.

  When Liu Cheng finished dressing up, Dong Er didn't even take a close look and immediately led him out. When they reached the front of the theater and couldn't see Liu Rong's figure, his heart tightened and he quickly grabbed a servant girl who was delivering things to ask. When he found out that Liu Rong had gone alone behind the fake mountain, he was stunned.
