  The mistress of Qinghua suddenly came forward and pulled Peony: "What's the politeness? I just have a few private words to say to you."

  "Peony knew she was up to no good, how could he possibly follow her? At the moment of urgency, he looked at Princess Changcheng and said: "The little woman hasn't thanked the princess for her kindness yet, please change the time, Your Highness."

  Kang Cheng furrowed his brow and looked at Qinghua Junzhu with a faint gaze: "Qinghua, find her another time. Today I want her to accompany me for a stroll and a chat."

  This aunt still likes to interfere with other people's business, thinking she is Guanyin Bodhisattva, spreading rain and dew and bestowing kindness? The Qinghua County Princess slightly raised the corner of her mouth in mockery: "Niece obeys." The young man bowed to Kang Cheng and took the reins handed over by the maid, turned around and strode out of the pavilion.

  Peony bowed deeply to Kang Cheng, who calmly accepted the gesture and said: "Tomorrow at noon, come to the Princess's mansion in Anxingfang. I'll have someone accompany you to get the Liu family's book." After finishing speaking, he stood up and smiled at everyone, saying: "Aren't we going out to play? Let's go."

  A crowd of women cheered and laughed, surrounding Kang Cheng as he got off the sedan chair. Peony trailed behind him, beckoning Yu He to come over, making a gesture to Xue Shi and others who had been waiting anxiously, indicating that they should leave first. Xue Shi and others all let out a sigh of relief, but Peony just sighed, what a pity that such a good day was wasted on accompanying a group of unfamiliar people.

  At this time, the outside was brightly lit, with people gathered in groups of five or six. Some were watching performances, while others wore animal masks and danced to the beat of drums. Others chased each other around, laughing and having a great time. The crowd slowly dispersed as they approached Pingkangfang, each going their separate ways in search of their own entertainment. Madame Bai came over and said to Peony, "The Empress knows you're not feeling well, so she's letting you leave first."

  "Peony smiled and said, 'I'm not convenient to go to the mansion to thank you, I can only wait for an opportunity to say it at a suitable time. 79 Free Net and 79 Kangcheng also wanted to take the chance to help Qinghua, but if Madam Bai wasn't in the middle to facilitate things, it wouldn't have been so smooth.'"

  Madam Bai waved her hand: "You don't have to take it to heart, this is also a coincidence, you just happened to catch the eye of Princess Chang."

  Suddenly, a young man wearing a crimson round-necked robe with a ghostly face crept up quietly and blew a mouthful of air onto Madame Bai's neck, chuckling softly: "Good madam, I didn't know you were so enthusiastic. How does it feel to do such things behind my back?"

  Madam Bai's face stiffened, and she turned back to look at Pan Rong silently. Pan Rong's two eyeballs were rolling around inside the mask, shining brightly. Peony was extremely embarrassed, but couldn't say anything, so he could only stand by awkwardly.

  The two stood still for a moment, and Pan Rong finally took off his mask, muttering: "It's not interesting, I deliberately wore it to scare you, but I didn't see any reaction from you. I said, women should be like women, don't think that wearing men's clothes and riding horses makes you a man. When you should be afraid, you still have to be afraid, that's what men like." He rudely raised his chin at Peony: "You ruined our relationship as husband and wife, don't you want to make up for it?"

  "Peony thinks that she can just shift the blame and push everything onto Qinghua County's mistress, anyway according to her reasoning, Qinghua County's mistress must have begged Kangcheng Princess. She blinked her eyes and acted puzzled: "What did I do? Is it wrong for me to talk to the madam?"

  "Alright, alright," said Pan Xiang impatiently. "Women are born with lies on their lips, I don't believe you guys, I'm not stupid."

  Madam Bai said: "Dan Niang, you go first."

  Pan Xiang pouted: "Hey, where's Dan Niang? So affectionate and warm." She glanced at Peony with a slanted eye: "Are you still calling her Ah Xin?"

  Madam Bai didn't wait for Peony to respond and said, "This is also acceptable. From now on, you can call me Ah Xian, don't call me Madam anymore. That way, our relationship will change. I'll come visit you again another day, remember what you promised me."

  She didn't put herself in her eyes at all! Pan Rong suddenly got up with a burst of anger, and heavily slammed the mask in her hand to the ground. Seeing Madame Bai's eyelids not moving, she was cold and calm as usual, and hated it so much that she stomped her feet hard and turned around to leave. She had only taken two steps when she ran back, her face sinking as she said to Madame Bai, "Your husband ordered you to accompany him on a stroll!" As soon as she finished speaking, without waiting for Madame Bai to open her mouth, she grabbed Madame Bai's arm and dragged her away.

  Peony saw this, knew that there was no obstacle, and felt that Pan Rong's behavior was childish and laughable. She couldn't help but burst out laughing, and as a result, she got a big white eye from Pan Rong. Peony and Yuhe walked hand in hand.

  They turned back to look for He Dalang and others, but just walked a short distance, a group of people wearing ghost masks and strange clothes hugged the drum and beat it while shouting and jumping, slowly approaching the two. Peony was still laughing before, but slowly felt something wrong, these people stared at themselves with piercing eyes, their eyes were very unusual, especially one person, tall and strong, wearing red lantern pants, always squeezing in front of him, the action was extremely invasive, beating the drum loudly, under the mask a pair of eyes shone brightly.

  The peony's heart was in a flurry, looking around left and right, but all she saw were people seeking pleasure and having fun. There seemed to be many of this kind of person, some women even took off their masks and let go of their usual reserve, joining in the cheers and dancing. Even though they hadn't had any physical contact with others, there was nothing wrong with that, but if she herself started shouting and screaming, she feared being seen as unsophisticated, or worse, ignored. But continuing like this didn't feel right either, so it was better to slip away. She pulled Ruohe along, turning around to run towards the crowd, those people exchanged a glance and chased after them. At that moment, the noise of the revelry shook the heavens, but no one noticed.

  Peony dragged the rain lotus left and right, suddenly heard someone on the street say: "Isn't this Dan Niang? We've been looking for you everywhere."

  Peony and Rain Lotus were overjoyed, looked up to see a handsome young man standing by the street, confirming that it was Li Yi's little servant, Luoshan. He quickly walked up and asked, "Where is my cousin?" Turning his head back, he saw that those people had stopped and were just playing around nearby, not daring to come closer. The person wearing red lantern pants put down the drum and bent over to pick up a sturdy partner next to him, tossing him up and down several times in a playful manner, showing off his great strength.

  Was it because of the success of the Dance Horse that he got drunk? Peony followed Suishan to the shed and asked, "Is it serious?"

  Luoshan said worriedly: "Awesome, you've never drunk that much before."

  "Shouldn't you send him back home to drink some sobering soup? Are you letting him wander around on the streets?"

  But then Luoshan's eyes turned red, and he choked back a sob: "He didn't let you come because he was worried about you. Please go take a look, it's not just that he ate something wrong, the whole person is off. Cangshan brother has already gone to find a doctor... if anything happens to him, we will be finished."

  Peony saw Li Wei's face flushed, limp and listless, as if he had no strength in his body. It was really frightening, and she couldn't help but be shocked: "Brother, what's wrong with you?" She didn't care about anything else, stretched out her hand to touch Li Wei's forehead, it was scorching hot, not like ordinary drunkenness, but rather like he was ill.

  Feeling the coolness on his forehead, Li Wei struggled to open his eyes and smiled faintly at Peony, saying softly, "Don't be afraid, it's nothing, I just drank too much."

  Suddenly, a commotion was heard outside, as if someone was looking for someone. One of the voices sounded very familiar, and it was Liu Chong's. Li Yun's face changed, and he ordered Suo Shan to go out and take a look. He whispered to Mudan: "Hurry up and run, someone has made a move!"

  The peony didn't think much, looked around left and right, and with Yuhe, the two of them rushed to the side, lifted the curtain, and jumped down. After jumping down, they didn't dare stay for long, picked up their skirts and ran desperately towards the crowded streets.

  The peony and the lotus had just jumped down, when the curtain was lifted with a jerk. Liu Chuan pushed Su Shan to the ground, and brandished his knife at the master's house, forcing people back. With a cold face, he looked inside, just in time to see Li Yutang's red face and scattered eyes. He couldn't help but sneer, putting away his knife and walking forward with a fierce glare at Li Yutang, roughly tearing open Li Yutang's collar, revealing a large expanse of bare chest.

  Li Wei closed her eyes and said softly: "You harmed her, what's good about it for you?"

  Liu Chong let out a cold laugh and didn't respond, instead lifting the scabbard to strike Li Yin's body with great force more than ten times before slightly relieving his anger. Then he put away the scabbard and walked to the edge of the curtain, saying: "He's in here, seems like he's quite ill."

  Qī Yùzhū clenched her fist and took a step forward, her eyes fell on Li Xiang's half-exposed chest, she couldn't help but blush and turned sideways to scold: "Brother!"

  Liu's eyebrows flashed with a hint of impatience, but he smiled and said in a low voice: "You think it through yourself, once you come to this village, there won't be this store anymore. Instead of trying every means to attend the banquet he attends, and sneaking around his shop to see him, why not seize this opportunity? You don't need to do anything, just sit next to him and wait."

  His tone was full of **, Qi Yuzhu hesitated and lowered her thick eyelashes, unconsciously biting the silk handkerchief again and again. Liu Cheng couldn't wait any longer, pushed her away, lifted the curtain and jumped down to chase Peony directly. Pan Rong said it was a dead end, but he didn't believe it was a dead end. Tonight, he wanted to make a desperate counterattack and turn defeat into victory!
