He didn't even call for someone to light a lamp, and lay down on the couch in front of the window, staring blankly at the flowers under the corridor. 79 Free Net One after another, several groups of concubines came to inquire about the situation, and suddenly saw someone coming quickly. In the blur, they couldn't tell which courtyard it was, so they shouted: "The master has ordered, no one is allowed to disturb."

  That man let out a low cough: "Autumn is real, it's me." It turned out to be Chu Zhou Hou Shi Pan Rong. He was still wearing the clothes he wore when they parted yesterday, and his whole body had a big strange smell. The person looked listless.

  Qiu Shi's eyes reddened as soon as she saw him: "Master, why have you only just arrived? The public has been waiting for you for half a day, and now it's all too late."

  Pan Shuang's face turned red with shame, and she said in a low voice: "I've heard it all, where is your husband?"

  "Please persuade him, he won't eat or sleep, nor light the lamp."

  One knife for stretching one's head, one knife for shrinking it; sooner or later, it will be done anyway. It's better to seek his forgiveness early on. Pan Rong gently knocked on the door: "Shu, it's me."

  After a good while, Liu Chuan's voice came from inside: "Come in." It was light and flat, without any particular joy or sorrow.

  Pan Xiang carefully entered the house, only to see Liu Chuan sitting by the window, gazing at her lightly. She couldn't help but shrink her neck and first bowed deeply to apologize: "Shu, I'm really sorry. Yesterday, I was thinking of going to ask about Li Yi's pearl and what it was used for. We went to the Rich and Noble Building together, but somehow I got drunk. When I woke up, it was already late. I rushed to find you, only to hear that you had already left. Knowing you couldn't wait, I hurriedly chased after you, not knowing you had returned... It's all my fault, please forgive me this time. In the future, I..."

  Liu Chang waved his hand: "Don't mention these things, you didn't mean to. The matter is already set in motion, and now that it's come to this point, there's no turning back. Rather than being miserable here, we should think about what to do next. I'm not willing to be trapped by the 79 Free Web, I won't give up."

  Pan Xiang stole a glance, but saw Liu Chuan's face calm and composed, indeed not like he was telling lies. She couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, walked forward and sat down beside him, smiling: "You're right, I came to Qinghua University, she said tomorrow she wants to go to the Huangqu nearby manor to play polo, and invite Jiang Dalang, letting us go too, I've already agreed on your behalf... what do you think?" Since it's already impossible to take back, at this point, making things worse with Qinghua Junzhu wouldn't be good either. It's better to just get along like before. He had made up his mind, if Liu Chuan refused, no matter what, he would have to persuade him to change his mind.

  Liu Chang said quietly, "I'll go." Of course he had to go, this matter was related to the Qinghua County Master's daughter, she could scheme against him, why couldn't he scheme back? The Qinghua banquet was one level higher than the Shangshu Mansion banquet, and most of the guests were imperial relatives and nobles, so it wouldn't be bad to take this opportunity to make some connections.

  At last she understood, and Pan Rong was delighted: "That's right! Why bother to go against those people at this time? You've spent so much money, you should get some benefits back. Besides, Tsinghua inviting Chiang is clearly not a good intention, we'd better advise her, otherwise she'll make a big fuss without knowing what's going on."

  Liu Chuan nodded: "Tell me about Li Wei's affairs."

  Pan Xiang glanced at him and said, "Although he didn't say it explicitly, I can be certain that the rumors outside are true. Five or six out of ten businesses in his hands belong to the Ning Wang Fu. The dancing horse was specifically found for the Empress's birthday, which took more than a year, and the pearl was for the Ning Wang Fei."

  Liu Chang frowned and said, "I wonder if he has seen Qinghua before? Otherwise, why hasn't Qinghua complained about him?" As the temperament of the Qinghua princess was known to all, how could she not take revenge after being impersonated by Li Yi? Since it wasn't mentioned, then there must be another decision.

  Pan Sheng was silent for a moment: "The hunter's eyes were pecked out by the goose, and even I fell into his trap. This little thing is quite something!"

  Liu Chong smiled slightly: "Such a talent, I'm afraid the Ning Wang will not be willing to humiliate him, let's just marry him off to a family girl and that's it?" If he can't get it, Li Wei shouldn't think about getting it either. Peony can marry anyone, but she can't marry Li Wei.

  On the second day, the weather was still fine. Peony got up a bit earlier than usual, changed into a soft yellow mandarin collar jacket, tied a black silk belt around her waist, put on a pair of small pointed head soft satin boots, and styled her hair into a bun with a green silk ribbon that had pearls hanging from it, looking neat and fresh. After strolling around the courtyard to confirm that all her treasures were growing well, she went to have breakfast.

  Madam Cen asked if everything was packed and who was going with her. When she heard that, apart from the two young servants she had arranged for, only Yu He was going, she said: "Your riding skills are not good, you can't always ask others to accompany you. When they're having fun, they often forget about you, let Mrs. Feng go with you."

  Madam Feng is generous and powerful, skilled in riding and swordplay, making her a suitable person to bring along. Peony smiled at Madam Feng: "Thanks for your trouble, madam."

  Feng Da Niang didn't mince words either, saying: "Dan Niang only needs to remember to be strong-willed and listen to old slave's advice."

  He Zhizhong once again specially reminded Peony that everything should be as it was before, and not to lose her composure.

  Dalong said, "I've already instructed He Guang about this. The area where you can ride horses is near Huangqu, and that piece of land is also there, right next to it. It's very convenient for 79 Free Web book friends to update. Let him take you to see it, if you're satisfied, I'll go to the government office another day to file a petition and settle it."

  Peony didn't say a word. Just after breakfast, someone came to report that Li Yi had come to fetch Peony on behalf of Li Man Niang. For a moment, everyone's faces were different, and only a few children who didn't understand the situation shouted out in excitement as usual.

  Li Wei walked in with a clear and refreshing air, smiling and greeting everyone. When he saw Peony, his eyes flashed with surprise, and then he smiled brightly at her. Peony greeted him warmly and smiled back.

  This scene looks different in the eyes of others. He Dalang immediately asked: "Xingzhi, where is your aunt waiting? Are you going too?"

  Li Yi withdrew her gaze and smiled: "I have something to attend to, I won't be going. My orders are just to escort Dan Niang to the Qi Xia Gate to meet up with them."

  "Your matter is urgent, hurry up and go. I'll send Dan Niang over."

  Li Wei was taken aback, and then looked at the expressions of He's family members. Although everyone was smiling and enthusiastic, compared to before, it seemed like something was missing. As a clever and sensitive person, he immediately guessed that something must have happened that he didn't know about. Although he was reluctant to part with Peony, wanting to accompany her for a while longer, seeing Da Lang's insistence, he couldn't insist anymore, so he smiled slightly and said, "Alright."

  Li Wei glanced at Peony, but saw that she had already turned around and instructed someone to lead the horse, without looking back at him. He felt a little disappointed and reminded Dalang: "When I left, Auntie had already gone out to find her friend, and should be arriving at Qixia Gate soon."

  "We're leaving right away."

  Li Wei accompanied Dalang closely, and when Peony went out, he looked deeply at Peony: "Your riding skills are not good, be careful, don't show off."

  "Thank you for your concern, Brother Biao," Peony smiled faintly, "I'll remember that."

  Li Yi still had something to say to Peony, but seeing her husband's piercing gaze, she reluctantly rode away.

  Peony and Dalang arrived outside the Qixia Gate, where they saw Li Man Niang and seven or eight women dressed in finery, holding their horses still. Among them were older women over 40 years old and younger ones just over 10 years old. Each of their horses was a fine one, carefully selected. Their saddlebags were not very ornate but rather sturdy and durable. The group of women laughed and chattered, playfully poking each other with their whips, looking carefree.

  Li Maniang saw the He sisters and didn't ask where Li Wei had gone, but first sent Da Lang away and pulled Mudan over to instruct her: "These are all my good sisters, our family members are all in the military, we started from scratch with real skills, there's no need for so much fuss, just be yourself when interacting with them, it's better to be straightforward."

  In other words, these people all rose to prominence through military merit and were not of high birth to begin with, so there was no such thing as looking down on Peony's background and making things difficult for her. Peony thought that Li Man Niang looked careless but was actually very meticulous, so she smiled and replied: "I'll listen to Auntie."

  Li Maniang saw that she was genuinely happy, so she said: "I thought you wouldn't come today. A person should be carefree like this. I don't have a daughter, and when I'm with them alone, it's always inconvenient. Now that you're here to accompany me, it's much better." After finishing speaking, she introduced Peony to the other women, without hiding her merchant background. As expected, everyone didn't mind at all, and they were all very friendly and chatted with Peony.

  Among them, the wife of Xing Sun and Li Man Niang had a particularly good relationship. Her husband was a great general of Yu Lin, and several other women would unconsciously try to please her from time to time. She, however, remained low-key and calm. She led a 15-year-old daughter named Xue Niang, who was born round and festive, and was particularly interested in the fragrance on Peony's clothes. After speaking a few words, she and Peony got together.

  A group of people chattered and laughed as they left the city gate, heading in the direction of Huangqu. When they reached a place where there were few people and horses, they loosened their reins and let their horses run slowly. After running for a while, Lady Dou pulled out one of her hairpins and suggested, "Let's use this as a prize. Whoever reaches the end first will get it." The crowd shouted in unison and rushed forward on horseback, competing with each other to be the first to arrive.

  Watching the flying hooves in front of him, Mudan was momentarily stunned. Li Maniang didn't follow them, but turned back to smile and say: "Let them run their own course. You relax, let it trot for a while first, get familiar with it, then you can speed up and catch up. Don't worry, I've got my eye on you, won't abandon you."

  Peony followed the words, on the left was Li Man Niang, on the right was Feng Da Niang, and in front of her, Xue Niang playfully kept turning back to look at her husband, then looked up at the blue sky and the lush green grass, all the gloominess in her heart vanished, and she couldn't help but curve up the corners of her lips.
