  Tinghua county master saw her at a glance, but didn't show any surprise, and smiled: "What a coincidence! Dan Niang, long time no see, are you okay? After the festival, I've been worried about you in my heart, afraid that something might happen to you. Seeing your good complexion now, I can rest assured."

  "Probably she had seen me when the horse passed by just now, no matter how I hide, she will still find me. Since it's impossible to hide, let's be frank and see what she wants. With a faint smile: 'The blessing of the princess, everything is fine with Dan Niang.'"

  Tsinghua County Master's eyes rolled, and she said with some shyness: "A few days ago I went to see the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager asked about your situation. She told me that I had wronged you and at least should give you some compensation. What do you want? Just tell me, don't be polite."

  "Peony felt a wave of nausea, what did she want? She wanted the Duke of Qinghua and Liu Chong to never appear in front of her again. The master and mistress were being polite, it was I who should be thanking them for helping me achieve my wish, allowing me to live such a peaceful life today."

  The Tsinghua County Master's boastful purpose was not achieved, and she was softly stabbed again, slightly uncomfortable, but couldn't find any fault in Peony's words. Moreover, her mood was indeed very good, a long-held wish would be fulfilled soon, and she had just avenged herself with an arrow, and there was also a rustic old hat waiting for her to clean up. Since the future is long, she didn't bother to argue with Peony, and smiled: "I just told several ladies that we were going to play polo at a nearby villa, but now our people are injured, two have left, not enough, and it so happens that several ladies are skilled in martial arts, I'm also a good host, let's go together. What do you think?"

  The peony only felt the alarm sounded, and when it was done, it looked at Li Man Niang with a difficult expression: "I'm having trouble riding a horse, let alone hitting...". Hitting a ball is a very dangerous activity, most of which are men playing, and women mostly ride donkeys or walk. If she wants to follow and be forced to hit the ball, wouldn't that be sending herself to death?

  Li Maniang had a plan in mind, and she gave Peony a reassuring glance before smiling and saying: "Thank you, Princess, for your kind intentions. We're just a group of old folks who like to have some fun, but if we were to really participate in the polo match, I'm afraid we'd end up making fools of ourselves and ruining everyone's mood."

  "Who said that?" Qinghua Junzhu laughed. "From what I know, there are many skilled warriors in the army, and some women even dare to challenge men. If you refuse to go, does it mean you look down on us? Do you think we're not worthy?"

  Li Man Niang and Du Fu Ren exchanged a glance, knowing that they couldn't escape today.

  Li Maniang, although secretly regretting that she shouldn't have bothered to save the fallen horse's owner, was never one to shy away from trouble. She smiled brightly and said: "If the young mistress puts it that way, I'm ashamed not to be counted among them! Since we're talking about women in the military, then count me as one!" With a light touch, she plucked off the peony.

  Mrs. Dou also said: "Count me in." The others laughed, and Mrs. Huang rubbed her fists and palms: "It's been a long time since I've touched a ball, my hands are really itching!"

  Tsinghua County Master didn't care whether Peony would attend or not, turned her head to look at Peony and smiled: "Peony, this time you won't go, later it will be hard to see such a grand occasion again, don't decline." She was originally sarcastic that Peony had been expelled from that circle, and there would be no return. But seeing Peony didn't react, she couldn't help but scold her in her heart for being stupid, paused for a moment, and provocatively looked at Peony: "Speaking of which, I've already invited you to set up a banquet to apologize to Mr. Jiang, do you remember? It's today." As expected, Peony's face showed a worried expression, no longer saying she would definitely not go.

  The crowd quickly gathered their belongings and followed Qinghua County Master and others as they moved forward. Among the people in Qinghua County Master's group, those who recognized Peony couldn't help but secretly turn back to look at her, revealing expressions of sympathy or regret. Peony ignored them all. From the occasional snippets of conversation among the crowd, Peony finally understood that the person involved with Qinghua County Master was Wu Wang's daughter, Xingkang County Master, and the one who fell off the horse was Xingkang County Master's cousin, not a member of the imperial family. Although the internal grudges were unclear, it all seemed to point to Qinghua County Master's revenge and frame-up.

  The peony secretly thought that the land Da Lang let her see was in this area, and Qing Hua's villa was also in this area. In the future, there might be many opportunities to meet. To avoid trouble, she didn't want this piece of land anymore.

  Li Man Niang saw that Peony was deeply troubled, so she stepped forward and whispered: "Don't be afraid, since I brought you out, no matter what, I will definitely let you return safely. I've spoken with Madame Tuo, later just follow Snow Maiden closely, don't stray, as long as we are careful enough, she won't dare to act rashly."

  "Peony nodded in agreement: 'I'm a bit worried about that Mr. Jiang, today he's probably the target.' She might just be an accessory. The logic of Qinghua County Master is probably similar to Liu Can's, where you fall down is where you get up from. On that day, it was in front of her that the embarrassment occurred, and today it must also be in front of her that Jiang Changyang will be embarrassed. Of course, another possibility cannot be ruled out."
