Just as she was about to ask what that gift was, a figure suddenly appeared in front of the corridor.
"I was thinking that Chuan'er wasn't the type to lose sight of the important and miss the opportunity, but it turns out he was chatting and laughing with the beauty and forgot the time."
Mrs. Bo smiled faintly and walked straight towards Su Pingchuan.
"Mr. Zong is about to arrive. The master is waiting in the ancestral hall. Chuan'er should go over quickly."
Su Pingchuan never looked at Mrs. Bo from beginning to end. He just whispered "Be careful" in Xiao Nanhui's ear before leaving, and then left with a stern face.
As Su Pingchuan left, the smile on Mrs. Bo's face faded instantly. She looked at Xiao Nanhui and said slowly.
"Today is certainly not a good day for swordplay, so Miss Xiao feels like she has no place to practice. However, I have set up a game of jack-in-the-boxes in the side yard. Although it's just a small pastime for the girls to pass the time, it's better than nothing. If you don't mind, Miss Xiao, come along and watch the fun."
How could she dare to despise the palace? She just...she just despised the person in front of her.
The smile on Xiao Nanhui's face was uglier than crying.
"Then... let's take a look."
Mrs. Bo had already expected that she would not refuse, so she turned around and walked ahead, and Xiao Nanhui had no choice but to follow.
The other person took small steps and walked slowly. Xiao Nanhui was not used to this pace and changed his feet awkwardly.
After finally walking out of the corridor, you will see a small garden.
Xiao Nanhui was bored as she was walking, so she looked up a few more times, and when she looked up she saw the tree.
It was a plum tree, which looked quite old. Now it blended into the surroundings because of its green branches and leaves, but for some reason, Xiao Nanhui still recognized it at a glance.
The next moment, Mrs. Bo's voice sounded in front.
"You have good eyesight. That tree is Yingshui Chonglou."
If Xiao Nanhui had some admiration for the delicate plum blossom before because of Mei Ruogu, now after what happened to Bai Yun, she no longer had any good feelings towards it.
She didn't say anything, clearly not wanting to continue this conversation.
Mrs. Bo pretended not to notice, and just insisted on continuing the conversation as if she had remembered something interesting during the conversation.
"Chuan'er had previously instructed the people in the mansion not to prune the branches this year. He wanted to do it himself. I think he wanted to keep a few of the most beautiful ones to give to someone personally." The other person's voice paused, and when it spoke again, it was filled with a hint of regret. "Unfortunately, he acted a little too late. The flowers couldn't wait, and most of them fell overnight. Perhaps this is what those masters often say... a lack of opportunity."
The woman's voice was still soft, but it had a sticky, spider-silk-like quality that made one's hair stand on end.
However, the first time is new, the second time is familiar. With Bai Yun in front and Madam Bo behind, she has already seen through the methods these women use to manipulate people, and her heart has calmed down a lot.
Taking a deep breath, she responded in a deep voice.
"Madam, you're worrying too much. This plum tree is full of new buds and is lush and green. It looks like it could live for another hundred years, much longer than you or me. Why should you be so saddened by the prosperity or decline of this season?"
Mrs. Bo paused, then continued walking forward in small steps as if she hadn't heard what was said.
