Chapter Fifty-Four Heartbeat

  Madam Wei led a group of people to the artificial hill behind the stage, while Miss Zhen, Shangguan Chen and Liu Bo were walking along the small path, and they would be able to reach the other side of the stage after crossing another courtyard.

  Just then, as he was about to cross the courtyard, he saw a group of young masters chatting and laughing together in the courtyard.

  Miss Zhen's footsteps paused, originally she was supposed to walk with Shangguan Chen in a hurry, but now so many young masters appeared, if she didn't give way, that would be a big problem.

  "What's wrong?" Shangguan Chen hurried forward and asked when he saw Miss Zhen slowing down her pace.

  "Let's go our separate ways, it's... there are too many people here." Miss Zhen was a bit embarrassed, but a girl's reputation and chastity were the most important things. This was what she had been taught since childhood. If it were Liu Rong, she would never have noticed these things.

  Shangguan Chen slightly stunned, then saw a group of young masters in front, nodded: "Miss be careful on the road, we'll go first."

  Shuō zhe huà, shàng guān chén biàn kuài sù jì xù xiàng qián, zǒu guò zhè qún gōng zǐ fù jìn yě bù tíng dùn, dǎ suàn zhí jiē chuān guò, yě hǎo kuài yī xiē dào jiǎ shān nà biān, miǎn dé liǔ róng chū shì.

  The more anxious a person is, the easier it is for things to find them. Yet, in the crowd, someone suddenly noticed Shangguan Chen and shouted, quickly rushing forward, but instead of helping, they were surrounded by a group of young masters who blocked Shangguan Chen's way.

  "Get out of my way, I have something to attend to." Officer Cheng's voice was cold and detached, but it was enough to douse the enthusiasm of those well-meaning young masters.

  "Can the eldest son of the crown prince be so disdainful? There is also the second son of the Wei Bei Hou Fu here!" The young master who had come forward first was furious and humiliated when he saw himself being rebuffed.

  Time passed minute by minute and second by second, Shangguan Chen didn't waste any time at all, directly stretching out his hand to brush aside the person who was speaking!

  "Sixth Prince, what's wrong? You look anxious, where are you going?" Left Tianyu, who had been hiding behind the crowd and hadn't spoken a word, stepped forward to ask, accompanied by a little boy beside him. This little boy was none other than the one who had informed Liu Rong in the backyard garden earlier.

  Shangguan Chen saw Zuo Tingyu, who had been playing together since childhood, but didn't think to treat others with the same disrespect. He paused for a moment: "I have something to do by the artificial hill in the back garden."

  "What's going on with the rockery in the backyard?" Someone in the crowd heard Shangguan Chen's words and couldn't help but wonder, "Why are so many people heading to the backyard today, is it that rockery again?"

  "What? Is there someone else?" Another person asked.

  "Zhong Zhenwan also went, it is said that he received a letter from a young lady, asking him to meet her behind the fake mountain. He was overjoyed and showed off to us repeatedly. I don't know which family's young lady is so bold and daring, actually daring to ask out even someone as notorious as Zhong Zhenwan!"

  "Otherwise we can go take a look..."

  Shangguan Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he became even more anxious, no longer wanting to linger here. He simply nodded at Zuo Tingyu before quickly making his way through the crowd.

  The little boy beside Zuo Tingyu looked at Shangguan Chen leaving and seemed to have thought of something, but after a slap on the back of his head: "Second Uncle, it's bad!"

  "What's wrong?" Zu Tingyu wondered.

  "Didn't you ask me to help Second Uncle arrange a meeting with the Third Miss of the Wen family at the Hou Mansion?" The little boy spoke up in dismay: "The place I arranged for Second Uncle was indeed the rear garden, but...but I forgot to tell Second Uncle about it..."

  "What?" Zuo Tingyu was shocked: "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and inform your second uncle, I'll go take a look first, this is a big deal!"

  After leaving the gathering of young masters, Liu Bo ran even faster than Shangguan Chen. If something happened to the young lady from Wending Marquis Manor at Weibei Marquis Manor, the reputation of the young ladies from Wending Marquis Manor would be completely ruined this time! That damned Liu Fu, what was she thinking, causing such a thing to happen? Didn't she consider the entire Wending Marquis Manor at all?!

  Miss Zhen and her maid rushed forward quickly, because Shangguan Chen was blocked by someone. Although they took a few more steps, coincidentally, both parties arrived at the front of the stage at the same time. As soon as they entered the stage, Miss Zhen pulled a maid who was delivering fruit plates to ask how to get to the fake mountain over there.

  It was probably good luck that when asking about the fake mountain near the opera stage, it turned out to be the same maid that Liu Rong had asked earlier.

  "You guys are really interesting today, why does everyone keep asking where the fake mountain is?" The little maid shrugged.

  "Has anyone else asked?" Miss Zhen was taken aback and quickly looked at the little maid.

  The little maid put down the fruit plate in her hand: "Yes, at the very beginning, a young lady with a particularly special dress asked about it and then left on her own, leaving her maid near the theater. The little maid was anxious to death! The previous maid who was there before also didn't know where she went now, and suddenly disappeared..."

  Miss Zhen exchanged a glance with Shangguan Chen, and hurriedly walked in the direction pointed by the little maid. Just as they were walking, they saw from afar Madame Wei Bei leading a group of people towards them.

  Miss Zhen saw the crowd of people surrounding Liu Xuan and Liu Fu, her heart tightened: "We must hurry up,"

  The only consolation is that this group of people will definitely go straight to the fake mountain, but they can take the small path pointed by the little maid, the one that Liu Rong took!

  As they walked quickly forward, unexpectedly, the group of young masters that Shangguan Chen met also came walking in this direction in a group.

  These people have only one purpose, that is to come and see which young lady is so brave and daring, even the notorious Zhong Zhenwan dares to make an appointment with her, isn't she afraid of being trifled with by Zhong Zhenwan?

  Most importantly, I might still be able to watch a good opera performance.

  At this moment, the male and female guests who came to the Beihou Mansion to celebrate are all gathered around the fake mountain. No matter what happens behind the fake mountain today, as long as there is a hint of irrationality, it will spread throughout the entire Daxia Imperial City tonight! And become the laughing stock of the entire Daxia Imperial City!

  Miss Zhen followed Officer Xiang's rapid pace, and through the tree branches, she could see Madame Wei Bei Hou leading a group of people getting closer to the fake mountain. Her footsteps quickened again, but she couldn't afford to be late; she had to arrive before Madame Wei Bei Hou!

  Otherwise, Liu Rong is done for!

  Shangguan Chen was thinking of the group of young masters who mentioned Zhong Zhenwan, his fists clenched tightly! His eyes shone with a fierce light, while on the other side, Liu Bo's face became increasingly ugly. Seeing several people walk to the end of the small path, as long as they turned left and walked forward for a short distance, they would arrive!

  Suddenly!

  A little servant girl darted out from the roadside and stretched out her hand to block their way forward!
