Everyone continued on their way, heading slowly towards the greenhouse’s location.
There were two entrances to the greenhouse. They chatted and laughed as they entered through one door, while the male guests entered from the other. In this rather small greenhouse, the two groups naturally collided.
Liu Sisi raised her head, searching for Di Yelei’s figure among the crowd. Soon, she found him. He was also looking in her direction, and upon seeing that the two children were not by her side, his eyebrows furrowed even more tightly.
He seed to say sothing to soone nearby, then carefully withdrew from the greenhouse and disappeared from her sight, taking her thoughts with him.
County Magistrate Su greeted Old Madam Gan, followed by a series of visitors paying their respects.
Liu Sisi stood in place like a puppet, her heart preoccupied with thoughts of the two children.
By the ti she finally collected her thoughts, most of the visitors in front had dispersed.
“I heard a few days ago that Old Madam Gan has taken in a new granddaughter. It must be this Madam beside you, right? Her aura is indeed extraordinary. As a junior, I would like to congratulate Old Madam!”
“Thank you, thank you! My granddaughter has a good temperant and does not like to talk. But it is precisely because of this that she has won my heart.”
Old Madam Gan smiled with her eyes, gently patting Liu Sisi’s hand with a loving expression.
Although her patting action was light, it sent a chilly sensation through Liu Sisi’s body, causing her to recall her intention of escaping from the greenhouse. She hurriedly bent her knee and perford a courteous gesture without saying a word.
“Everyone has been so kind to this old lady. I am really happy! But the greenhouse is too small and crowded! Let’s talk at the stage area where it is more spacious.”
Old Madam Gan spoke before turning to walk outside the greenhouse.
Seeing this, everyone hurriedly echoed, “Indeed, as the Old Madam says, it is too crowded here. Why don’t we go enjoy the opera? I heard that Lord Su invited a famous actor from Jiangnan specifically to perform today. We can’t miss it!”
The voices of support from the crowd were overwhelming.
Liu Sisi held Old Madam Gan with each step feeling like walking on thin ice.
She didn’t know if Old Madam Gan intended to learn sothing from keeping her close, but if she continued like this, she’d drive herself crazy!
She needed to find a way to escape!
With her gaze downcast, Liu Sisi helped Old Madam Gan walk forward while secretly searching for any opportunity to escape.
The several elderly nannies and maids nearby always seed to keep her and Old Madam Gan in the center, thwarting her intentions.
As the crowd passed through an archway, the maids and nannies naturally stopped to let Liu Sisi assist Old Madam Gan. On the other side of the archway, a maid carrying a fruit plate was waiting with her head down.
It was a golden opportunity!
Liu Sisi steeled herself, tripped over the archway, and almost dragged Old Madam Gan down with her.
“Old Madam!”
Countless panicked calls ca from the side!
Liu Sisi fell forward and rolled into the maid, who instinctively tried to dodge, but Liu Sisi didn’t give her a chance!
She felt a numbness in her leg, and the fruit plate in the maid’s hand scattered onto her body, making a crisp sound as it hit the floor.
“Ouch! That hurts!”
There was no faking the pain in Liu Sisi’s cry!
Her ankle was twisted, and the pain that shot through it forced her to cry out!
Did she really need to get hurt just to make it look more convincing?
Her clothing was stained with various colors from the spilled fruit.
On the other side, the sound of the little maid pleading for rcy reached her ears, but Liu Sisi had no intention of helping her.
“Take her out!”
She heard Old Madam Gan’s emotionless voice and imdiately looked up to et her eyes. The look in the old woman’s eyes was unfathomable, making Liu Sisi’s scalp tingle. But her tone was extrely kind.
“Look at you, child. You can’t even be careful enough to pass through an archway. Are you hurt? Quickly get a doctor! Your joint injuries must be treated properly so they don’t leave any lingering issues.”
As Old Madam Gan spoke, she quickly ordered maids to help Liu Sisi up and carefully escorted her away.
“Grandmother! I’m sorry, Sisi has worried you.”
Liu Sisi’s apology was sincere! If she had let go a mont later, she would have dragged Old Madam Gan down with her. She was big and strong but still got hurt, so it would have been serious if the elderly woman had fallen!
“Go on then! Be sure to take care of yourself and don’t worry about , alright?”
Her command echoed behind Liu Sisi, who barely looked back.
After being escorted to a guest room by two maids, Liu Sisi was relieved to finally escape Old Madam Gan’s watchful gaze.
Without that radar-like gaze on her, Liu Sisi flexed her joints and found herself unhurt, feeling relieved and relaxed.
“Co out! Aren’t you tired of hiding there?”
She called out softly.
There was silence in the room, not a single sound.
She laughed lightly, “What’s wrong? Do you want to invite you out?” She glanced over at the screen at the other side of the room.
As expected, a figure erged, the sa Zuo Xingyu who had left on bad terms last ti!
Zuo Xingyu confidently sat down facing her, his gaze fixed on her.
“How did you find out I was there?”
It was no wonder he would ask this. His martial arts skills were exceptional, especially in the art of concealnt, where he surpassed many others. Yet today, he had been discovered by her shortly after entering the hiding place, causing his confidence to waver.
He wanted to know exactly where he had failed!
“Isn’t it simple? You were walking along the bottom of the screen, but the wind was blowing from there. My position was downwind. The room was filled with the scent of won and then suddenly a man’s scent ca drifting in. Upon combining this information, I naturally knew.”
Liu Sisi said indifferently.
She would never reveal the truth that it was his suffocating aura that had given him away!
