Is Chapter 580 a time-traveling story?
After Li San Niang answered Di Renjie's question, she and Qiu Xiang were sent back to the main hall where the female guests were. After waiting for a while, the officials and constables from the Dali Temple and the Jingzhao Prefecture came out to say that the case was closed.
With the case closed, those unrelated to it can naturally go home.
However, since Li San Niang was with Gao Da Sao and Gao Ya Hui, she benefited from their company and was among the earlier group of female guests to be sent out.
Madam Song, Madam Song, and Song Zhenzhu acted with great thoughtfulness and decorum. They stood in a row on the right side of the Song family's gate, apologizing and offering gifts to the female guests leaving the Song family.
Of course, the head of the Song family and his sons stood on the left side of the Song family's gate, apologizing to the male guests who were being seen out and handing them gifts.
It must be said that the Song family made a good move.
The Song family has suffered an undeserved disaster today, but why did Wang Silang and Qingniang choose to take revenge at the Song family's flower-viewing banquet?
This flower-viewing banquet was indeed organized by the Song family, so if something goes wrong, the Song family must also stand up and take responsibility.
The master and his wife, who are in charge of the household, are standing at the gate apologizing to you and handing you a gift box with both hands. As an invited guest, even if you are cursing them in your heart, you should still be smiling on your face, right?
If someone knew how to handle things, they might even offer a comforting remark: "Oh dear, it was all an unexpected disaster, it's all over now, thanks to Judge Di of the Court of Judicial Review."
Look, look! How skillful he is in speaking! He comforted Madam Song and praised Di Renjie at the same time. He achieved two things in one sentence. Isn't that a master of words and deeds?
Standing behind this woman, whom no one knew, Li Sanniang overheard her words and couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "The ways of the world and how to conduct oneself in society are truly a profound subject."
Just as Li San Niang was about to take the gift box from Song Zhenzhu, she heard a series of commotion coming from the male guest opposite her.
Li San Niang looked up and saw a man wearing a black round-necked robe, about the same height as her elder brother Li, being surrounded by the young men of the Song family, with many other young men from other families also gathered around him.
Li San Niang had excellent hearing; even amidst the cacophony of noise, she managed to make out the conversation between the young master of the Song family and the man.
What he said was: "I have mistreated General Shi today!"
Please forgive me, General!
When the Song family holds another banquet in the future, we will definitely send another invitation to the general!
I would be honored to have the honor of joining you, General!
Having been told about Shi Le'an by Sister-in-law Gao earlier, Li San Niang immediately thought of it. Curious, she looked over there and saw Shi Le'an cupping his hands in greeting to the Song family's young master, seemingly not minding it much.
Even if you have reservations, you should still appear magnanimous on the surface.
Li San Niang glanced at them and that was it. All she wanted to do now was take Lu Zhu'er and Qiu Xiang home, have a good drink of water, and relax in a chair.
I left home very early this morning, and judging by the time I get home, it will probably be dark by then.
They've really been wandering around outside all day. Lu Zhu'er is currently dozing off in Qiu Xiang's arms. The little girl was originally going to come out with Li San Niang to see other people's gardens and meet other children her age, but she didn't even get to eat properly before that happened.
The child is exhausted. It's only because Luzhu is still young that she's so tired. If she were older and more sensible, she would probably be like other little girls, crying loudly in fear.
Li San Niang wanted to hail a carriage directly from the street so as not to delay Gao Da Sao and Gao Ya Hui's return home. If they were to take the Gao family's carriage, it would have to take a detour to take Li San Niang and Gao Ya Hui home before they could go back to the Gao family, which would delay Gao Da Sao and Gao Ya Hui's return home by half an hour.
Just as Li San Niang was about to explain to Gao Da Sao, she heard another commotion nearby.
Stopping their conversation, they looked with Sister-in-law Gao toward the source of the sound and saw Shi Le'an, whom they had just met, standing beside a horse talking to a woman in a red, high-waisted ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress).
As for why this matter of just saying a few words caused such a stir.
Li San Niang thought that this must be what Gao Da Sao had said before. The Song family's flower appreciation banquet was originally held to find a suitable wife for Shi Le'an, but the banquet didn't happen. Instead, a murder case occurred, so finding a suitable wife for Shi Le'an was pointless.
However, to everyone's surprise, General Shi Le'an already had someone he loved.
Li San Niang glanced at it and wanted to look away, but before she could turn her eyes, she saw Shi Le'an mount his horse in a flash. He then stretched out a hand to the woman in the red dress, and with the help of Shi Le'an's hand, she flipped over and mounted the horse as well!
Thus, it becomes a picture of Shi Le'an with a beautiful woman in his arms, protecting the woman in the red dress on horseback.
This action naturally attracted the attention of the women who had not yet left. Li San Niang did not need to listen carefully to know what these women were talking about.
After all, while Shi Le'an and the woman in the red dress's actions weren't exactly shocking, they were still somewhat outrageous, even in the open-minded Tang Dynasty capital of Chang'an.
Such actions are really hard to explain unless they are close relatives or spouses.
The startled women were simply asking, "Who is this woman in the red dress?"
She was actually riding the same horse as General Shi!
"It doesn't matter who this woman is, the key is that General Shi already has someone he loves!"
So what are we doing here for this flower-viewing party today?
"I won't even get to see General Qingjun, and I'll just have to go there in fear for nothing."
“Hey, I feel like I’ve seen this woman somewhere before, look…”
Li San Niang's gaze didn't leave her, and she actually saw the face of the woman in the red dress. Coincidentally, Li San Niang actually knew her.
It's our fellow time traveler, Jiang Yiyun!
It was Jiang Yiyun!
It's Jiang Yiyun!
This discovery made Li San Niang's heart pound wildly; this matter was quite interesting.
"Jiang Yiyun and Shi Le'an?"
Was Shi Le'an also a fellow time traveler?
He's a general?
A general who listened to Emperor Wu?
Or rather, Jiang Yiyun has some background. Shi Le'an is not a time traveler, but he and Jiang Yiyun are in love. So, which side does Jiang Yiyun belong to?
It must be from Emperor Wu's side, right?
Was Chiang Yi-yun's earlier act of deliberately getting close to Ting An-po and the others just for show?
Is Emperor Wu planning to close the net immediately after Bi Qionglan demonstrated hybrid wheat? Is this some kind of major move?
One question after another kept popping into Li San Niang's mind, it was practically a brainstorming session.
However, Shi Le'an and Jiang Yiyun were very particular about their manners, so they controlled their horses and let them walk slowly along the street where the Song family lived. Because they were walking slowly, more people saw the two of them riding together intimately.
At this moment, Li Sanniang couldn't help but think, "This must be intentional, right? It's intentional to let people know that Shi Le'an already has someone he loves, so that families who still want to marry Shi Le'an will give up."
Li San Niang put aside her thoughts, turned around and said goodbye to Gao Da Sao and Gao Ya Hui. She finally managed to refuse Gao Da Sao's insistence on taking them home after much persuasion.
At this moment, Lao Shi, who had been waiting outside, stepped forward and took the gift box from Li San Niang's hand. He pointed to the end of the street and said, "San Niang, I've found a carriage, it's waiting behind us. Let's go."
