Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Not far from Juxing Garden, there were still so farmsteads that were willing to provide empty space for people to park their carriages. However, those other people were unwilling to stop, so at this mont, only Li Xiaoran and ng Yan’s carriages were parked there.
After getting out of the carriage, Li Xiaoran and the others tidied up.
The person in charge of the small farmstead walked over.
“It’s definitely a wise choice for you to park the carriage here. Every year, whenever Juxing Garden holds a banquet, many people want to park their carriages in Juxing Garden. Little do they know that it’s troubleso to go in and out, which wastes a lot of ti. Why don’t you rest a little in our farmstead now? When there aren’t many people left, we’ll drive the carriage over. This way, you won’t have to queue and won’t have to miss this banquet!”
Upon hearing the woman’s explanation, Li Xiaoran was imdiately interested.
“You’re quite smart and business-savvy. In that case, why don’t you give us the most beautiful thing in your farmstead and let us rest for a while?!” When the manager heard Li Xiaoran praising them for being business-savvy, she was overjoyed.
“Please co in. Today’s trip definitely won’t be in vain!”
Li Xiaoran nodded and led everyone to the private room in the farmstead.
This farmstead wasn’t big. Its only advantage was that it was very close to Juxing Garden.
Sitting in the private room, they could see the entrance of Juxing Garden clearly.
Therefore, sitting there and waiting was much more enjoyable.
After that, the manager sent so drinks, snacks, and fruits.
Li Xiaoran and the others were not in a hurry at all. They ate as they observed the situation in Juxing Garden in a leisurely manner.
“Is it always so crowded here?” Li Xiaoran asked.
ng Yan shook her head and said, “Perhaps everyone ca at this ti! That’s why it’s so crowded! Logically speaking, there shouldn’t have been too many people invited this ti!”
Li Xiaoran smiled when she saw this.
“There must be many uninvited guests.”
When ng Yan heard this, she said firmly, “How is that possible? Only people with invitations can enter!”
“What about my invitation?” Li Xiaoran turned around and asked when she heard ng Yan’s words.
ng Yan’s expression changed at the ntion of this.
From the beginning to the end, no one had given her an invitation.
Li Xiaoran didn’t, nor did she.
When Li Xiaoran saw ng Yan’s expression change drastically, she imdiately guessed sothing.
“Don’t I have an invitation?”
When ng Yan realized that she had been played, she was furious.
“None of us did! I was wondering if I forgot sothing. Turns out that there was no invitation!”
At this point, ng Yan was a little vexed.
“How did this happen? I’m usually not such a careless person. Why did I forget about sothing as important as an invitation?!”
Shu Ruyue stared at ng Yan for a while. Then, she walked over and said to
ng Yan, “Give your hand. I’ll take your pulse!”
ng Yan was a little confused. She didn’t know why Shu Ruyue would say such a thing.
When Li Xiaoran looked at Shu Ruyue and sensed that she was serious, she persuaded, “My friend Imows a little about dicine. Let her take your pulse!”
ng Yan recalled that she had been feeling unwell in the past few days, so she nodded and stretched out her wrist.
Shu Ruyue took ng Yan’s pulse and asked about her situation in the past two days. Then, her expression turned solemn.
“Have you eaten pumpkins and mutton in the past two days?” ng Yan thought about what she had eaten over the past few days and nodded.
“I did! But I didn’t eat them together! I ate mutton first and stead pumpkin with sugar two hours later!”
Shu Ruyue sighed when she heard this.
“Do you know that mutton and pumpkins can cause your body to heat up, your eyes to swell, the corners of your mouth to grow sores, your teeth to ache, your throat to beco sore, and so on? It can also cause your body’s iron supply to be unstable, and your chest to feel suffocated. You have to wait at least four hours after eating mutton to eat pumpkins.”
ng Yan imdiately understood.
Because she had all the symptoms Shu Ruyue ntioned.
“I was wondering why I wasn’t feeling well these past two days. I thought it was because I ate sothing bad during the dish sampling that day. I didn’t expect this to be the reason.”
Li Xiaoran thought of sothing and said, “It seems that soone wants to use these foods to make you uneasy, so you won’t be in good spirits and can’t think of everything. That’s why you forgot about the invitation! Perhaps soone is toying with us and doesn’t want us to go? Or is soone trying to embarrass us? If we queued up just now but didn’t have an invitation when we reached the door, we would have been laughed at!”
“I think the latter is very likely! But we don’t have to be anxious. Soone might co looking for us later!” ng Yan ca back to her senses and sneered.
Shu Ruyue didn’t care about this. She brought so mung bean cakes and radish cakes over and placed them in front of ng Yan.
“In your current situation, you should eat so mung bean cakes and radish cakes first! A
As soon as she said this, Li Xiaoran and ng Yan beca more vigilant.
They really didn’t expect to be sched against before the banquet even started.
As expected, these won couldn’t be underestimated!
It was really impossible to guard against these dirty tricks!
Li Xiaoran had already made up her mind.
They would wait another two hours.
If no one ca to send an invitation in the next two hours, she would just go back.
It was just a banquet. She didn’t want to attend it that badly.
If the invitation was delivered within two hours, she naturally wouldn’t back down and would still attend the banquet.
She wanted to see what these people were up to!
As expected, less than an hour after they sat in the small farmstead’s private room, a butler rushed over.
“Greetings, Miss ng! Madam was so busy that she forgot to send you invitations! In order to express her apology, she specifically instructed to co and pick you up! “
