Chapter 66 Someone Died

"Really, no, you misunderstood. Maybe it was just a coincidence." Song Yuning refused to admit it.

"Don't pretend, there must be some hidden secret! Tell me quickly, otherwise we are no longer good sisters."

As Bai Miao spoke, he reached out to tickle Song Yuning.

Song Yuning laughed out loud when Bai Miao tickled him, and he kept twisting his body, trying to avoid Bai Miao's attack.

"Okay, okay, stop it! I said it's not enough..." Song Yuning finally surrendered. She knew that if she didn't tell the truth, Bai Miao might continue to torture her.

Bai Miao smiled and withdrew his hand: "Okay, tell me now."

However, just as Song Yuning was about to speak, she suddenly saw two girls walking towards her not far away, followed by several maids.

The two girls looked about fourteen or fifteen years old, with pretty faces and gorgeous clothes. It was obvious that they were of extraordinary status.

Bai Miao also noticed the two girls and waved at them from a distance.

Then he introduced them to Song Yuning: "These two are the daughters of the Qu family, and they are also my cousins.

They are all famous talented women in the capital, especially the cousin Qu Xinhe, who is known as the most beautiful woman in the capital.

Song Yuning followed Bai Miao's gaze and saw that Qu Xinhe was tall and graceful, with skin as white as snow and delicate features. She was indeed a beauty.

Bai Miao took a look at Song Yuning's expression, then leaned close to her ear and said, "You better be careful, this Qu Xinhe is actually your love rival.

She has admired her cousin since she was a child, and she has begged the imperial concubine countless times to marry him."

The Qu family is Concubine Yun's maternal family. Relying on this relationship, Qu Xinhe often entered the palace. Over time, she became familiar with Xiao Yunzhan.

As a prince, Xiao Yunzhan is handsome and elegant, so it is natural for Qu Xinhe to like him.

However, Concubine Yun would definitely not agree to Xiao Yunzhan marrying Qu Xinhe. After all, she has been suppressing Xiao Yunzhan. How could she let him marry a wife whose family is powerful?

Not long after, the Qu sisters came to them, and Bai Miao immediately introduced Song Yuning to them.

When they learned of Song Yuning's identity, the two men's originally enthusiastic faces instantly became a little cold.

The two simply nodded to Song Yuning and ignored her. Instead, they turned around and started chatting with Bai Miao, completely leaving Song Yuning aside.

Song Yuning didn't care about these things. She deliberately slowed down her pace and followed them a few steps behind.

This was exactly when she needed witnesses. If more people saw her, she would feel safer when the news of Gu Zhangnian's death came.

However, Bai Miao did not ignore Song Yuning. He would turn around and say a few words to Song Yuning from time to time to show his appreciation. The Qu sisters finally couldn't ignore Song Yuning anymore, and the four of them started a peaceful conversation.

Soon, the four of them met several young ladies from official families. As they talked together, Bai Miao always kept Song Yuning in the center of the crowd, pulling her closer. As a result, after a round of conversation, these girls still had a deep impression of Song Yuning.

Almost everyone had arrived, and the flower viewing banquet was about to begin. During this period, Song Yuning always stayed by Bai Miao's side and showed up in public.

When the flower viewing party was halfway through, everyone suddenly heard screams one after another.

"Ah! Someone's dead!"

"Oh my God! Why are there two dead people here!"

Bai Miao was stunned for a moment when she heard the noise, but she quickly reacted and looked around the flower viewing party. Finally, she set her sights on Song Yuning beside her: "Gu Zhangnian doesn't seem to be here. Could he be the one who died?"

Bai Miao looked at Song Yuning in disbelief.

Song Yuning also pretended to be surprised, but soon his face turned pale and he looked at Bai Miao uneasily.

"How could this be? Could it really be him?"

Seeing Song Yuning's panic, Bai Miao finally reacted and patted Song Yuning's hand soothingly: "Yes, maybe I guessed wrong, don't take it to heart."

Although she said that, Bai Miao was already certain in her heart that the dead person was Gu Zhangnian. Although this result was somewhat beyond her expectations, it seemed to be within her expectations when she thought about it carefully.

However, what surprised her was that Xiao Yunzhan could actually go to such lengths for Song Yuning. This was really far beyond her imagination.

Others may not know, but she knows that Xiao Yunzhan has always been hiding his abilities.

Bai Miao didn't expect that at this critical juncture, Xiao Yunzhan would dare to kill for Song Yuning.

If it were anyone else, he would be killed, but Gu Zhangnian's identity was there. If he provoked such a person, once he was discovered, the consequences would be very serious.

However, Xiao Yunzhan chose to do so without hesitation, which was enough to show how deep his feelings for Song Yuning were.

Thinking of this, Bai Miao turned his head and looked at Song Yuning, whose face still looked a little ugly. It seemed that his cousin was really in trouble!

But Song Yuning is quite good. If Xiao Yunzhan marries her, my aunt will probably feel relieved.

Bai Miao was still immersed in her own thoughts when she suddenly felt someone tugging at her clothes. She looked down and saw Song Yuning retracting his hand.

She quickly realized that she was the master and she had to step up and deal with such things.

Bai Miao's mother, the wife of Duke Dingguo, had already sent people to find out what had happened.

Then she looked at the guests with an apologetic look and said, "I'm so sorry, today's flower viewing banquet ends here. I will arrange for someone to send you all back. I'm really sorry for what happened today. I didn't entertain you well. I hope you can forgive me."

Everyone could understand that since someone had suddenly died in the mansion, who would have the heart to continue holding the banquet, so they all expressed their understanding.

Bai Miao also stepped forward and personally escorted the guests out of the mansion.

Naturally, no one dared to say anything in the Duke's Mansion, but as soon as they left, the news that someone had died in the Duke's Mansion spread.

The old lady took Song Yuning and Song Yuyao back to the Song Mansion. The three of them sat together in the carriage, and Nanny Chen served on the side.

"Don't mention what happened today after you go back, understand?" The old lady instructed Song Yuning and her sister.

What others said was their business. Their Song Mansion could not be compared with the Dingguo Mansion, and they could not afford to offend such an existence.

Song Yuyao clutched her chest, looking both frightened and curious. "I don't know who died. I heard there were two."

Song Yuning no longer needed to pretend. She leaned against the carriage wall with a calm expression and said coldly, "Who knows? Perhaps that blind servant offended the master and was punished by him."

The old lady who had closed her eyes to rest suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Song Yuning inquiringly.
