"Not yet. Xuan Lang has picked several and he's not satisfied with any of them." Mrs. Peng was speechless, with happiness in her eyes: "Let him do whatever he wants."
Someone said, "Eighth Prince, the Eighth Prince's Consort is here."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Peng hurried over with Meng Xuanlang to greet them, as they were too busy today to spare any time.
"It's still early for dinner. Please walk with me," Liu Zhiyue said. Surrounded by so many maids and servants, she had no one to confide in. Only Chen Heng could she confide in. Perhaps it was because they shared a secret; she had seen all of her unbearableness, cowardice, and foolishness. So, there were no secrets to share; she knew them all.
Chen Heng actually wanted to eat the pastries and melons on the table. She heard that the imperial chef from the palace was invited to make them today, and the pastries looked delicious.
There's really nothing to do in walking.
Liu Zhiyue winked at her personal maid, who understood: "I'll go to the kitchen and get some cakes."
"Let's go." Liu Zhiyue was a little amused. How many people were trying to curry favor with her, a lady from a wealthy family.
The sky was a little gloomy at this time.
Liu Zhiyue chose a small path with few people and walked along it, followed by an old nanny and a maid carrying pastries.
It was really a walk. Along the way, Liu Zhiyue didn't say anything until she walked up to a rockery.
The wind in mid-month was still a little cold. Chen Heng was just about to say that it was wrong to stand so high when she saw a girl in pink clothes crying in a fake cave not far away. The person standing next to her was actually Si Qi.
Chen Heng looked at the maid and the servant who had taken several steps back. They lowered their heads, not daring to look over there. Then she looked at Liu Zhiyue's pretty face, which was even colder than the cold wind. "Did you let me see this on purpose?"
"If it were you, what would you do?"
"I don't know." This kind of thought had never occurred to Chen Heng.
"It's really shameful for a girl from a noble family to behave so self-deprecatingly. I really want everyone to see her frivolous appearance." Liu Zhiyue said hatefully.
It is indeed shameful for Peng Yunrong to meet privately like this. Si Qi could have just refused to be invited. It takes two to tango. In such a situation, we cannot blame only one person.
Chen Heng had been in Dacong for so many years, and this was the first time she had seen someone so in love, and it was with a girl from an aristocratic family.
"I should destroy her reputation and make her live in disgrace." Liu Zhiyue gritted her teeth, "But the friendship between the Si and Peng families cannot be ruined because of this."
Chen Heng knew that these large and powerful families were intertwined and had connections with each other.
At this moment, Peng Yunrong, who was not far away, suddenly stood on tiptoe and walked towards Si Qi.
Chen Heng: “…” Such a bold girl, she must be determined to be with Si Qi.
Liu Zhiyue clenched her fists. If there were knives in her eyes, Peng Yunrong's body would probably be full of knives at this moment.
At this time, the sound of firecrackers came from the front seat, telling everyone that the meal was about to begin.
Two people not far away parted ways and left the fake cave.
The back hall where the concubines lived was extremely lively. Liu Zhiyue put on a smile and handled the interactions between the ladies appropriately.
Chen Heng and Mrs. Peng sat at the same table, happily teasing the baby, but her mind was thinking about what Mrs. Peng said last year about Peng Yunrong being confined to her house, and how she was so angry that she had a miscarriage. It was obvious that she knew what her sister had done.
But the foot was born on Peng Yunrong's own body, so how could others interfere with what she wanted to do?
Mrs. Peng had never told her about this, probably because she didn't want the family scandal to be made public. Even if she had witnessed this scene today, even if the two of them had a very good relationship, she wouldn't have said anything.
