After entering the room, Xiao Xu saw several maids who looked similar to her tidying up their clothes. What they were wearing was somewhat similar to what she was wearing.
No wonder he was mistakenly identified.
"Sir, the person has been found."
The two dancers holding Xiao Yu stepped forward politely, bowed, and reported respectfully. Before they finished, they pulled Xiao Yu, who was still confused, and whispered, "Why don't you bow quickly?"
"When you find it..."
The woman addressed as "Madam" was wearing a purple palace dress. She was probably a female official who trained dancers and looked to be around forty years old.
She glanced at Xiao Xu casually, her expression changing slightly: "Where did you find her? It's not her!"
His tone was so heavy that the two dancers panicked and stammered, "I, I, we saw her... in the corridor ahead."
The court lady was furious, but she knew she couldn't panic at this moment. They would soon be the next to make a mistake. If they made a mistake now, they would definitely lose their lives.
"Miss, who are you?"
She tried to soften her tone and put on a friendly smile which she thought was acceptable. Unfortunately, this scene became another side effect in Xiao Xu's eyes.
"Liu Mansion."
Sssssss…
Countless eyes were cast on Xiao Xu, and she almost fell into danger for a moment.
"The young lady of the Liu Mansion..."
The female official murmured something, then seemed to have made a decision. Her expression darkened, and she looked at Xiao Xu with a pale face. Her tone was filled with pleading: "Miss, please do us a favor."
Before the female official could continue, Xiao Yu interrupted without thinking and refused: "I won't help."
The female official was speechless, but finally revealed the lie: "Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, especially since there are so many of them."
The two dancers who were carrying Xiao Yan also lowered their postures: "Please."
"Miss, we really have no other choice. The original dancer was very important. Our dancing skills are indispensable."
The female official's harsh voice echoed in his ears, causing Xiao Xu to listen carefully for a moment.
Seeing that she didn't interrupt again, the female official continued, "If you can take that dancer's place, we will all be grateful to you for the rest of our lives."
At this point, the female official gave a look, and the other dancers echoed her.
Xiao Xu still had no intention of helping. She knew that if she showed any flaws at the dance party, then this group of people would definitely sell her out without hesitation and put her on the altar for punishment.
Xiao Xu is not a bad person, but he is definitely not a saint either.
She frowned, glanced at the people in the room, and planned to run away.
"Don't worry, we will wear veils when we dance, so you don't have to worry about being recognized by acquaintances."
The female official softened her expression and said something soothing, then carefully observed Xiao Xu's expression.
“I can’t dance.”
As soon as these words came out, the female official replied nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, you don't want to perform music and dance." She looked at Xiao Xu with a soothing look again.
It was as if he really regarded her as his only lifeline.
Xiao nodded, which was considered as his agreement.
She originally wanted to refuse and leave.
But she knew that if she refused again, she would be forcibly dragged to the dance party.
Such an attitude would be very bad for her, she couldn't be passive.
When the female official heard her agree, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then took her aside and explained the movements she had to do during the music and dance.
Xiao He listened to a lot of nonsense, but it almost went in one ear and out the other. She thought that as long as she left the room, she would be able to escape.
