Everyone present was pleasantly surprised by this scene!
"Wow! That really is a flower! Didn't we see it just now? Where did Lin Yuxin conjure it up from?"
"This kind of thing is hard to explain. There have been rumors before that Princess Pingning knows sorcery! Judging from what happened just now, it's probably true!"
"Don't talk nonsense. If the princess hears this, she might complain to the emperor about you. Wouldn't your husband punish you?"
"Oh dear! What kind of sorcery? What kind of demons or immortals in this world possess sorcery? Didn't you notice that the peony she's holding looks a lot like the one by the lotus pond when we first came in?"
"Hey! You know what, it really does look like it!"
Someone actually went to check on the lotus pond, and came back shortly after!
"Madam, there are indeed fewer flowers over there."
"See! She's using a trick! That girl is really cunning!"
These ladies and young women have studied Lin Yuxin's magic tricks so thoroughly that they feel like they've solved some major case.
Meanwhile, the princess recognized the flowers in Lin Yuxin's hand as her favorite flowers. She was furious that Lin Yuxin had ruined them.
"Lin Yuxin, where did you get these flowers?"
The princess hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking the question!
"Oh! When I came in just now, I saw that the flowers here were so beautiful, so I picked a few! What? Can't I pick them?"
Lin Yuxin looked at the peony in her hand and asked innocently.
"No! I was just asking!"
The princess took a deep breath and held back.
"Now I'll perform another magic trick for everyone!"
As Lin Yuxin spoke, she started waving the tablecloth again, this time making quite a show of it, so much so that the princess's eyelids twitched.
She wanted to tell Lin Yuxin to stop, but it was too late!
"Ta-da! This is a big surprise!"
Lin Yuxin waved her hand, then covered the nearest stone block with it. She shook it gently, then pulled it open with a sudden tug, revealing a tall and majestic tiger.
"Awooo!!!"
"ah!!!"
"Tiger! Help!!!"
As soon as everyone saw the tiger clearly, they panicked and scattered in all directions.
Oh my god! Where did that tiger come from?! Waaaaah! Princess, they were wrong, they shouldn't have let you perform. They're not watching anymore! Take it back!!!
The ladies and young women around were terrified, fearing they would become food in the tiger's mouth. They didn't even think carefully about how the tiger had come to be there.
The princess was also frightened by the sudden appearance of the tiger. In a panic, she grabbed Shuhe and, surrounded by servants, retreated towards the outside of Furong Garden.
[Brother Tiger, I'm leaving this place to you. Make as much chaos as possible!]
Lin Yuxin gave a few instructions, then took advantage of the chaos to leave. However, before she left, she accidentally saw two servants fall into the lotus pond in fright, cry for help twice, and then fall silent.
A trace of blood still floated on the water's surface. Lin Yuxin's eyes narrowed. Was there something wrong with this lotus pond?
The spot she was sitting in seemed to be closest to the lotus pond. If she had fallen in from there, she probably would have been fish food!
Lin Yuxin gritted her teeth. "Fine, very well. You've tried to kill me again and again. Do you really think you own the world?"
Lin Yuxin decided to hold back for now and focus on saving her mother first.
Lin Yuxin turned and left Furong Garden, heading towards the courtyard that Zhizhi had mentioned, along with Xueying and An'er.
When they arrived at the house, there was no sound from inside. Lin Yuxin was a little nervous, afraid that something had really happened to her mother, so she didn't let Xueying and the others follow.
She pushed open the door and rushed in all by herself.
"Mother! ...! Hmm?"
Lin Yuxin stood there dumbfounded, watching as her mother took a feather duster and whipped a man who was tightly bound, doing so with great gusto and satisfaction.
"Xin Xin? What are you doing here? Get away quickly, don't look at these things, or you'll get a sty!!"
Zhao Hanyue realized what was happening, quickly threw away the feather duster in her hand, and hurriedly pushed Lin Yuxin out.
Before Lin Yuxin could recover from what she had just witnessed, Zhao Hanyya pushed her away.
"Mother! What...what were you doing just now?"
Lin Yuxin asked with a curious look. Her heart was finally at ease knowing that her mother was alright, and now she had the mood to ask about other things.
"Hey! This scoundrel is trying to take advantage of me. Doesn't he know I killed people on the battlefield back in the day? Do you think I'm afraid of him?"
Zhao Hanyue said dismissively before starting to talk about what had just happened.
"You left not long ago, and the princess asked about you...!"
...
"Madam Lin, where did Pingning go? These young ladies are all showing off their talents right now, it's not good if she's not here."
The princess laughed and joked.
"Your Highness, please excuse me. That girl urgently needs to relieve herself, so please excuse me for a moment. You don't need to wait for her!"
With a slight hint of apology on her face, Zhao Hanyue spoke to the princess.
"Oh well, there's nothing we can do about it!"
The princess spoke softly, as if she had let the topic pass.
At this moment, the maids around her began to pour tea for the ladies. Because of what Lin Yuxin said, Zhao Hanyue hadn't eaten much or drunk any tea.
So when the maid behind Zhao Hanyue realized that she couldn't pour tea properly, she rolled her eyes, slipped, and flung the teacup at Zhao Hanyue.
Zhao Hanyue sensed danger and reacted quickly, dodging to the side. She avoided the teacup but not the tea.
The tea still spilled on Zhao Hanyue, leaving a mark.
