"Zhao Sanlang asked me to go to Jinlu Bridge in three days. He has booked a pleasure boat there and invited me to enjoy poetry."
Youlan looked worried. "But, Miss, there won't be any festivals or lantern festivals in three days. I'm afraid Master and Madam won't allow you to go out."
"Silly girl!" She tutted. "Of course my parents won't let me go out, so what? So what? Just like they won't choose a good marriage for me, so what? So what? So what? I won't get married?"
"Miss, what you mean is... you want to go out without telling the master and the mistress?"
"Is there any better way?" Xue Hanshu asked her.
Hearing this, Youlan sank to her knees. "Miss, you can't do this! If the Master and Madam knew, they would be furious!"
"Just don't let them know, okay?!"

"You mean, Youlan from that little bitch Xue Hanshu's room is sneaking around the back door?"
Madam Xiang didn't dare to speak loudly. She just said, "I only vaguely saw her at the back door. I don't know what she was doing. The food basket was indeed filled with snacks, but as for whether there was anything else in it, I don't know."
"There must be something fishy going on when things aren't normal." Aunt Rong snorted coldly, "That little bitch is definitely up to no good. If I can take this opportunity to find out what she did wrong, I can really vent my Rou'er's anger!"
