Just as she lifted her head, she saw several people coming out from behind the fake mountain she had just passed.

  It should be the people who were talking in the cave just now, she tried her best to recall, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't find these few people in her memory, and even more couldn't guess whether they had any connection with General Zhongyi's mansion.

  This is what happens when you don't use your brain in your previous life, she hung her head and tried to minimize her presence.

  They didn't seem to be heading in that direction, but rather appeared to be going straight through the arch bridge towards the second gate ----- The men's banquet should be set up on the main hall side.

  Able to come and go freely in the backyard, even if not the master, must be a person with a close relationship with the host family.

  Song Chuyi thought that this banquet was a bit suspicious, and the previous life did not exist, her face was somewhat complicated.

  Miss, you just...

  She hadn't even finished speaking when Song Chuyi turned around and sternly whispered: "Shut up!"

  Unexpectedly, Song Chuyi suddenly became so stern and severe that Huang Yao was taken aback at first, then immediately looked wronged with red eyes, biting her lip in a disobedient manner.

  It's really foolish to the extreme, such a girl, even if she doesn't have bad intentions, bringing her along will eventually lead to trouble. Song Chuyi raised an eyebrow and glanced at them with profound meaning in her eyes.

  Those few people were about to cross the bridge, but suddenly a few half-grown boys jumped out from the other end of the bridge and surrounded them in the middle, chattering away.

  Among those young men, Shen Qing stood out prominently.

  It's actually someone I know...

  She was just about to speak and ask something when she heard Yunxiu County Master's cheerful shout of "Seventh Brother" behind her, rushing towards Shen Qingran with a waving hand.

  Shen Qing let go of her and seemed happy too, dropping those few people and running over here.

  These families with good social connections and a long history of nobility do not place much importance on the separation between boys and girls among young children, so these young boys often come to play with them.

  Shen Qing's smile on his face disappeared without a trace after seeing Song Chuyi, he glared at Song Chuyi with annoyance and spat on the ground, saying: "Bad luck! How did I run into you again, you annoying ghost?"

  Song Chuyi remembered that it was He's family who personally went to the Changning Bo Mansion a few days ago, and persuaded Old Lady Song to come to the Zhongyi General's mansion. Now Shen Qingyan seemed to be familiar with the person who mentioned the northwest army rations in the fake mountain just now...

  She bowed her head and thought about the role of the British Consulate in this matter, but Ye Yunxiang felt that she was being made to lose face by Shen Qing.

  "Seventh brother, where did you come from?" Ye Yunxiao smiled and changed the subject, curiously asking: "Why didn't I see you earlier?"

  Shen Qing let didn't dare to show a temper in front of Ye Yunxu, and hastily shifted the blame to Song Chuyi, saying: "Su Zhen and the others are making rice cakes, I found it interesting, so I played with them for a while before coming over."

  Song Chuyi didn't have the heart to bother with him either, so she thought for a moment and then went to ask Song Chumi: "Fourth sister, I'm going to find grandmother and eldest aunt, are you and fifth sister coming together?"

  Song Chumi was having a great time playing with the Su family girls, and upon hearing this, they didn't even bother to see her off: "We'll stay for a while longer, you go back by yourself."

  Song Chuyi didn't force them and took Qingtao and Huang Yao to the Flower Hall.

  Before they had gone a few steps, the sound of a woman's shrill cry came from the arbor in the garden, startling all the girls who were playing happily into silence.

  Ye Yunxu, who was talking to Shen Qingran at this time, also looked at Miss Su's with a surprised expression.

  The few people who were still talking on the arched bridge over there also seemed to have heard the sound and quickly walked over.

  "What's going on?" A young man wearing a white robe with arrow sleeves stood behind him, his eyes gazing at Su Chenxiang with some malice.

  Su Chenxiang couldn't help but shrink his head and mumbled "Big Brother" with a difficult expression as soon as he met his gaze.

  Su Chenxiang called him Big Brother, was he the young master of the Su family? Song Chuyi took another look at the several people standing beside him who didn't say a word, and felt confused.

  Su Chenxiang had an expression that was hard to describe, and the people present knew that this probably involved a private family matter, so they all said they would go out to find their elders.

  Su Chenxiang didn't dare to stop them, couldn't even say something like "let's play a bit longer" as a courtesy, and with a bitter smile, he arranged for the girls to leave with his sisters.

  Just then, the awning, which had just quieted down, let out a scream again, and the ceramic basin next to it shattered into pieces.

  Su's young master's face turned increasingly unpleasant, and he didn't even bother with pleasantries, hastily walking towards the pavilion.

  He had just walked out a dozen steps when the door of the rolled shed was smashed open, and a disheveled woman suddenly rushed out from inside, running towards the girls at an extremely fast speed. A string of maidservants followed closely behind her.

  Su Da Shao Ye stretched out his hand to pull her, but she struggled free and ran quickly to the lake bank opposite the rolling curtain, shouting loudly at Su Da Shao Ye who was following behind: "Don't come over! None of you come over!"

  Her hair was very long and covered half of her face, with only the other half visible, on which there were faint scars.

  "Miss Chen!?" The words escaped Ye Yunyi's lips as she stared at Su Chenxiang, seemingly incredulous: "Isn't that your cousin? How did she end up like this?"

  Ye Yunxiu also stared blankly for a while, as if wanting to go forward but stopping her feet.

  Su Da Shao Ye's patience had been exhausted, and with all the noble ladies in the garden today, Chen Niang's commotion made it impossible for him to smooth things over. He couldn't help but shout: "Have you caused enough trouble?! Hurry back!"

  Those following servant girls also swarmed forward, wanting to pull Miss Chen.

  Miss Chen dodged the group of servant girls like a snake, retreating several steps back and almost slipping into the lake. She looked at the servant girls who were still approaching and cried out loudly: "Su Shu, you have no conscience! None of the people in the Su family are good!"

  "What's wrong with you?!" Su family's young master gritted his teeth and glared at the servant girls beside him, shouting: "Don't take her away yet, aren't you ashamed enough?!

  The women of Su's family didn't dare to delay and hurriedly went forward to pull Chen's daughter.

  Miss Chen struggled hard, and finally turned around and jumped into the lake with a splash. The lake quickly splashed up a huge wave, Miss Chen should not know how to swim, after struggling in the lake for a few times, she disappeared without a trace.

  Song Chubin was timid and scared, he couldn't even call out for help, and fell softly onto Qiu's body.

  Others are no better off either, with some timid ones already crying out of fright.

  Su Daxiaoye was also startled by Chen Niang's jump and retreated two steps, then quickly instructed the maids who knew how to swim to jump into the water to rescue her.
