Even a fool would know that this lion must have a history.
Song Yue lifted her foot and continued walking forward. The maid hurriedly asked, "Third Miss, I was only following orders. Please spare my life for the sake of what I told you."
"What I gave you just now was just candy, not some deadly medicine."
After finishing her sentence, Song Yue lifted her foot and continued walking away.
The maid was stunned for a moment, then a sinister look appeared on her face. She clenched her fists tightly, realizing she had been tricked.
…
After waiting for a long time, Shen Ruyun only saw the maid return, and her brows furrowed: "Where is Song Yue?"
Song Yao, who was standing to the side, was also very curious.
“Miss, this servant brought the Third Miss this way, but the Third Miss seems to have realized something and refused to come, she ran away.”
She didn't mention at all that she had been tricked by Song Yue.
Shen Ruyun frowned: "Didn't you say she wasn't very bright? How did you find out?"
Song Yao bit her lip, annoyed that such a good opportunity had been snatched away by Song Yue. She was somewhat unwilling: "Perhaps it was a coincidence."
"So what do we do now?"
“We can only go to Houtang first. No matter what, she cannot marry Prince Pei,” Shen Ruyun said.
Song Yao nodded.
The group arrived at the back pond on one side of the garden, where oars had been prepared for a boat trip on the lake that day.
Yun Dong followed Song Yue back to the garden without making a mistake. She secretly rejoiced that the girl was really smart. As soon as Song Yue appeared, Song Hengchuan's eyes widened, and he looked like he had seen a ghost.
"You, how did you get here?"
Song Yue looked completely innocent: "Where else could I be if not here? Isn't the banquet in the garden?"
The barrage of questions left Song Hengchuan speechless. He awkwardly covered his mouth and coughed lightly twice: "This, this is not it."
Song Yue swaggered over, found a seat, picked up some delicate pastries from the table, and began to eat them heartily, grinning, "Minister Shen's pastries are so delicious!"
Seeing Song Yue's smiling face, Song Hengchuan looked as if he had swallowed a dead fly, his face turning ashen as he looked around the crowd.
While eating, Song Yue saw a familiar figure pass by.
Han Feng!
He did indeed come.
As she was lost in thought, her sleeve was suddenly tugged, and she looked up at Yun Dong.
“Miss, Prince Pei is staring at you.”
Song Yue glanced at Pei Zhao, following his gaze.
Pei Zhao smiled gently at her and was about to walk over when he was stopped halfway by the Princess of Zhennan, who glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally.
Even from a distance, that look was full of hostility.
Song Yue looked away; she didn't care to pay them any attention.
"Zhao'er, what are you doing going to see Song Yue?" Princess Zhennan asked, somewhat displeased. "With so many people watching today, you still want to get involved with her?"
She would never allow Song Yue to be her daughter-in-law in this lifetime.
She doesn't deserve it!
Pei Zhao frowned.
"You and Yaoyao grew up together and are in love. Don't let Yaoyao down," Princess Zhennan warned coldly.
After a moment of silence, Pei Zhao relaxed his brow and said, "Mother's words are right."
After another cup of tea's time, the hostess, Shen Ruyun, appeared. As soon as she appeared, she was surrounded by people, with many girls chattering and chattering around her.
Shen Ruyun was beautiful and well-mannered. As the daughter of the Minister, she was always the center of attention wherever she went.
She said gently, "Thank you all for coming to my home today. I found a three-colored lotus on the back pond lake and would like to invite you to take a look. The oars are ready, as well as fruits and snacks, everything is provided."
Song Yue stretched out her hand and smiled sweetly: "Sister Chen, I get seasick and nauseous, I'm just an ordinary person, so I won't go."
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone's attention was immediately drawn to her.
Shen Ruyun pursed her lips, looked Song Yue up and down, and remained silent for a long time. Song Yao said, "Don't spoil everyone's fun. Everyone else is going, but you're not?"
"I'm full of snacks right now, and I've vomited up some filth. Don't be disgusted, I don't care," Song Yue shrugged.
Upon hearing this, the other girls immediately frowned and took two steps back in disgust.
Since things had come to this point, and no one invited Song Yue, they instead made an excuse for her: "Since Miss Song doesn't want to go, then let's just forget about it."
"yes."
Shen Ruyun had no choice but to compromise: "Then Miss Song can stay in the garden for the time being."
As she watched the group of people split into small teams and board the ship, Song Yue grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds and started eating them while keeping an eye on the ship.
He also slipped Yun Dong a few pastries.
The master and servant found a shady spot and waited quietly to watch the show.
"Miss, the pastries from the Minister's residence are indeed exquisite. Even the Madam is reluctant to eat crab roe pastries on ordinary days, yet the Minister's residence is using them to entertain guests as if they were free." Seeing that no one was watching, Yun Dong ate heartily, clicking her tongue in amazement, glad that she had followed the right master.
She had never eaten such delicious desserts in her life.
Song Yue scoffed. The Shen family's wealth was comparable to that of a country, so what were these snacks?
Just then, someone shouted.
"ah!"
thump!
Someone fell into the water.
Song Yue's attention immediately fell on the lakeside.
Shen Ruyun stood on the boat, calling out anxiously, "Yaoyao!"
Sure enough, it was Song Yao who fell.
Song Yao's light pink figure rose and fell in the water, raising her hands high and shouting for help, while Song Hengchuan pretended to be anxious beside her.
Thump!
A tall, slender figure submerged into the water.
It's Pei Zhao!
"Miss, Prince Pei has jumped in." Yun Dong took a bite of crab roe pastry, her cheeks bulging, her eyes staring intently at the lake.
