The banquet, meticulously prepared and managed by the Prime Minister's wife, was quite outstanding and successful.
Although Rong Ning did not stay at the banquet for long, she did show up and politely appeared, showing the respect and support that was due. This undoubtedly gave the Prime Minister's wife and the entire Prime Minister's residence a lot of face.
Fortunately, no unexpected situations or farces occurred during the subsequent banquet.
Neither the Prime Minister's residence nor the young masters and ladies who were invited to the banquet felt embarrassed or put in any awkward situation because of Rong Ning.
If you think about it carefully, perhaps Rong Ning simply didn't have the leisure or interest to deliberately cause trouble or create problems at the banquet.
After all, she probably has more important and urgent things to deal with and pay attention to!
She and Aying quietly hid among the lush branches, waiting for the banquet to end and for the two people under the tree to leave.
Time passed by, and Bai Fu and Xie Si were truly able to sit still, staying until the banquet ended before reluctantly parting ways.
From a distance, Xie Si's delicate figure appeared somewhat swaying, as if she might collapse at any moment.
Despite the distance, Rong Ning could still clearly feel the deep despair and helplessness emanating from her.
For a young girl who is still so young and inexperienced in the ways of the world, knowing those unknown secrets and conspiracies is really not a good thing.
This will not only cast a shadow over her mind, but may also change the course of her originally simple and beautiful life.
However, these were not things Rong Ning cared about. She was not some saint and couldn't concern herself with so many things.
She only cares about what happens next.
Looking at the scene before her, Rong Ning couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. "Hehe, it seems like a good show is about to begin!"
After the two women left, Rong Ning and A Ying did not immediately climb down from the tree, but instead cautiously observed their surroundings.
Apart from the occasional rustling of branches in the wind, there was no other sound as far as the eye could see. After confirming that there were no unauthorized persons, the two carefully slid down the trunk of the large tree where they were hiding, and then quietly returned to their Yuanshan Courtyard.
As darkness fell, Rong Ning led A Ying on a wild run around the Prime Minister's residence.
It should be noted that they had been staying in the Prime Minister's residence for quite some time. During this time, thanks to their exceptional intelligence and wit, the two had already thoroughly figured out the guard deployment of the Prime Minister's residence.
That's why, tonight, under the dim moonlight and in the stillness of the night, Rong Ning and A Ying decided to take the risk.
Like elves in the night, the two of them moved with light and swift steps, avoiding any places where guards might be present, and silently made their way from Yuanshan Courtyard toward the Third House's courtyard.
Along the way, they cleverly used the artificial hills, flower bushes, and corridors in the courtyard as cover, successfully evading wave after wave of patrolling guards.
Finally, after some twists and turns, Rong Ning and A Ying successfully arrived at the third house's courtyard.
Now, this Miss Xie is the daughter of the Third Master.
In the Prime Minister's residence, the Prime Minister's wife had three sons, all of whom were born of the principal wife.
The master, for some unknown reason, offended the Prime Minister. Before the two women even entered the mansion, he was beaten with a board and then imprisoned.
Since then, he has not shown his face for a long time, as if he had vanished from the face of the earth.
Then look at the second master. Although he is also a handsome man, he has the problem of being too easily influenced.
He already lacked his own opinions, and now he is even more influenced by the second wife, living in a daze all day long, making it impossible for him to shoulder any great responsibilities.
As a result, all the affairs of the Prime Minister's mansion, big and small, naturally fell on the shoulders of the Third Master alone.
Miss Xie was filled with unease. She knew that this matter was no small thing and that she could not handle it alone.
After much deliberation, she finally decided to tell her mother the truth.
Her mother was extremely shocked when she found out.
It should be noted that in the Prime Minister's residence, there has always been a clear rule: the inner courtyards of the residence are not to interfere in the affairs of the men.
This incident was so important that the Third Madam disregarded all the old rules and regulations.
Filled with worry and doubt, the third wife approached her husband, wanting to find out the truth.
To her utter surprise, her actions provoked extreme dissatisfaction from her husband. A heated argument erupted between the couple.
At that very moment, Rong Ning and A Ying were quietly crouching on the rooftop, holding their breath and eavesdropping on the heated argument inside...
The third master looked around nervously, then quickly put his index finger to his lips to signal his wife to be quiet. He deliberately lowered his voice, saying with a hint of annoyance and reproach, "You crazy woman, what are you yelling about!"
Do you intend to make this a public spectacle, drawing everyone in the Prime Minister's residence to join in the fun?
However, the third wife completely ignored her husband's warning. Her eyes widened, her face flushed, and she lost control of her emotions. She shouted at the top of her lungs, "What good will it do to know? Are we just going to wait to lose our heads without knowing anything?"
I'm not willing to accept this without even understanding why I died!
Upon hearing this, the Third Master broke out in a cold sweat. He stamped his foot in exasperation and shouted again in a low voice, "My dear aunt, could you please keep your voice down?"
