"Great, our Xiaolian is so thoughtful."
Just after Madam Zhang parted ways with Su Lixia, she went to find Zhang Meier, who was hiding.
Fortunately, Zhang Meier stayed inside and refused to come out, making it easy for Madam Zhang to find her.
"The garden party has been going on for so long, why are you still inside? Go and watch the singing and dancing with everyone, then I can introduce you to those gentlemen."
Zhang Meier is a bit stubborn, and it's impossible to persuade Madam Zhang to do this.
"I'm not going. Mother, you should stay and keep Her Highness company."
Zhang Meier was just making up an excuse to brush it off, but Madam Zhang thought she was just jealous.
He could only sit down and comfort her with a smile, "I didn't even invite the princess, but she actually came to my door today. It's a good thing, actually. But I've already entertained the princess, and she's playing by herself right now. We still have plenty of time to get to know each other."
Although Madam Zhang agreed with Lord Zhang's words, this was indeed a good opportunity, and all the young men invited today were men she approved of.
Zhang Meier turned over and said, "I'm not going, I'm not going."
"You have to go today, whether you like it or not." Madam Zhang didn't have the good temper or patience to wait for her.
Zhang Meier was dragged along by her, and she went anyway.
"Luckily you weren't disheveled, so it's okay that you didn't change your clothes. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let you off so easily afterward."
Zhang Meier was getting impatient and complained, "It's always the same few people coming and going. There are so many high-ranking officials and nobles that I don't know. I really don't know what's so great about meeting them."
"This time is different. Several newly rich people are honored guests of your household. They are all destined for great things, so of course you should get to know them."
Zhang Meier was even more puzzled: "If he really is someone who will achieve great things, shouldn't Father know him? What use would it be for me to know him?"
Madam Zhang explained, "This is different. This is your younger generation. They probably don't even exchange more than a few words with your father. It would be good if you young people could have a good time together."
Zhang Meier pouted: "Alright then, for the sake of being even richer in the future, when I can rival Young Master Lin, let's see if he still looks down on me."
Madam Zhang rolled her eyes at her: "Superficial. That young master Lin is good for nothing except being rich. He's a notorious playboy. I really don't know what you see in him."
"So your mother also took a fancy to your father, who is good for nothing but writing. It seems your daughter has inherited her temperament from her mother."
Mrs. Zhang reached out and slapped her: "Can they be the same?"
Zhang Meier shrugged. Isn't it obvious whether they're the same or not?
Soon the mother and daughter found a group of young men who were hanging out together. Madam Zhang then left her there so they could chat, while she hid to the side and observed them secretly.
After resting for a while, Su Lixia quickly got up and went to the venue. When she found it, Zhang Meier had already started talking to the young masters.
Then, she was about to run into the female lead, and things were about to get complicated, so Su Lixia went to find Xue Yurou without stopping.
For some reason, perhaps it's because the strong have no friends at the top? Surprisingly, everyone was in agreement: they didn't have a lively chat with Xue Yurou, only exchanging greetings.
Seeing that Xue Yurou was alone, Su Lixia went up to her.
"Greetings, Princess." Upon seeing her, Xue Yurou stepped forward and bowed.
"I have something I want to say to you, young lady. Why don't we walk a little further ahead?" Su Lixia wanted to take her away directly.
The latter, unaware of anything, refused, saying, "It's alright, the princess can speak here."
"There are too many people around here, it's not convenient to talk, let's talk as we walk."
The latter still refused, and smiled slightly, saying, "The princess also saw that everyone around here is far away. Only when the princess came did they glance at me a few more times. However, it is fine to talk. They can't hear you. If you talk while walking, it will arouse suspicion."
Su Lixia's lips twitched; this female lead's thinking was truly extraordinary...
However, by sheer coincidence, Zhang Meier happened to be there at that moment, and the two of them made eye contact, just like in the story.
"Well, I wonder if all my efforts were in vain," Su Lixia thought with a wry smile.
