"Jewel has always been like this. Second Auntniang has always thought highly of herself, and she also learned well. She always felt like she could marry a rich family, but her heart is full of gloom. She spent her days ordering us sisters around, and that arrogant look of hers makes people feel nauseous."

When Lin Baoxue and Lin Xiaoqi were on their way to Private Manor, she couldn't help but tell Lin Xiaoqi about the scene they just saw. Although these cousins lived in the same house, they didn't really like each other, especially the second and third houses.

In addition, Lin Baozhu's arrogant nature made her seem even less pleasing to the eyes. Therefore, the other sisters of the Third Branch were also quite resentful towards Lin Baozhu.

"Alright, you've already said that her personality has always been like this. It's not like one or two days has passed, so let's let her be proud of herself first. In the future, her temperament will be as good as hers. Don't be angry, it's not worth it." Lin Xiaoqi looked at Lin Baoxue with a slightly amused expression. Perhaps it was because the children of ancient times had matured prematurely. How old were they to think that they would be married in the future? Hearing Lin Baoxue's childish resentment, she couldn't help but comfort her.

"You're right, but every time I see her look like she doesn't like anyone, I get angry." Lin Baoxue frowned slightly. She wanted to say something, but when she met Lin Xiaoqi's clear and calm eyes, she felt that she couldn't say what she wanted to say. She grumbled for a long time, but she could only say this one sentence.

Lin Xiaoqi didn't want to get involved in so many arguments. Although the second house wasn't that good and she didn't think that Lin Baozhu was that bad, Lin Baozhu didn't want to mess with her anyways, so she didn't want to do anything right now.

Dingyuan Prince's Private Manor wasn't too far away from the Shui Village, but it wasn't too close either. Lin Xiaoqi and Lin Baoxue had left long ago, but by the time they arrived at the Private Manor, it was already too late.

Lin Baoxue looked at the Private Manor that was filled with people from both inside and outside with some hesitation, "With this many people, we'll probably have to wait a long time, right?"

"Since they're already here, let's just wait for a while. There's no other way." Lin Xiaoqi frowned and sighed helplessly. She never thought that there would be so many people. However, it made sense. Naturally, there would be many members of the annual society. They weren't familiar with Dingyuan Prince's Private Manor, so it wouldn't be good if something bad happened to them. After all, this was ancient times, and it wasn't as peaceful as modern society. With the authority of the king above, they would just beat and kill at any time, but they were just ordinary peasants who had no way to defend themselves.

The three men dressed in embroidered clothing walked and chatted by the lake in Private Manor. The three men all had superior looks and shared noble auras, but the black clothed man among them had more of a dissolute look on his face and his steps were a little unstable. It was obvious that his body had been emptied by the wine and women.

"This year is as lively as usual. Every year, Dingyuan Prince would pay a huge price to invite the filming crew over. Not moving like thunder, it would be a good bargain for us to come over here at this time of the year to take a look at the good scenery of Dingyuan Prince Manor's Private Manor." A colorful-robed man lightly waved his fan, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the beautiful scenery before him.

This Private Manor was built by him with all of his effort. It could be said that none of the surrounding Private Manor were better than this place, and even many of the aristocratic families' houses in the capital could not be compared to this place.

It wasn't that Dingyuan Prince's usage was extravagant, but his Private Manor was much more refined than other places.

"My father also thought it would be best if we could enjoy the day with the people, which was why he would open the Private Manor at this time of year." He was the fourth son of the Dingyuan Prince manor, Yang Youzheng. The silver robed man was the second son of the Sheng Mansion, Sheng Yunfan, who was also Lin Xiaoqi's eldest sister, the second brother of the master. As for the inky man, who had been silent all this time, he was the third son of the Zhao Mansion, Zhao Yan.

"Brother Zhao? Brother Zhao? " Yang Youzheng and Sheng Yunfan chatted for a while and found that Zhao Yan didn't say anything. The two of them couldn't help but look at Zhao Yan, but with a glance, they noticed that Zhao Yan was staring lecherously at the servant girl beside him.

"Ah?" "What's wrong?" When Zhao Yan heard Yang Youzheng's voice, he finally reacted. He turned his head and looked to be in a sorry state.

"If Brother Zhao fancies this servant girl, why don't I send someone to deliver her to Brother Zhao's residence later?" The three of them had known each other for a long time, so naturally, they knew each other's character and character. As the saying goes, things come together as one, and people get grouped together. Although Yang Youzheng and Sheng Yunfan were slightly better than Zhao Yan, they were not gentlemen.

"Since you have the intention, Youzheng, I will not decline. I will accept your kind intentions." Hearing Yang Youzheng's words, Zhao Yan's face lit up with happiness. He looked a little wretched.

"Brother Zhao, what are you talking about? The three of us grew up together, and we have been good friends for so many years. Why are you being so courteous?" If you say so, you're treating Youzheng as an outsider. " Yang Youzheng was also very generous. With a wave of his hand, he had an air of loyalty that moved Zhao Yan a little.

Lin Xiaoqi and Lin Baoxue waited for a long time before they entered the Private Manor. Originally, they were led by servants, but then Lin Baoxue suddenly had a stomachache, and Lin Xiaoqi accompanied Lin Baoxue to the toilet, and when they came out, they discovered that the person was no longer there.

There were too many commoners here, and they did not have the time to wait for Lin Xiaoqi and Lin Baoxue. Those servants were not afraid that they would ruin the scenery of Private Manor since even a blade of grass was not something they commoners could afford.

"Fifth sister, they're all gone. What should we do?" We don't know the way. " Lin Baoxue looked at the empty surroundings and felt a little anxious. She had never come to the Private Manor before, and Lin Xiaoqi hadn't come either. They didn't even know the way there.

"This... Forget it, don't panic. Let's go somewhere else. The most lively place should be the stage building. " Lin Xiaoqi shook her head and comforted Lin Baoxue softly. At this moment, she appeared much calmer.

Lin Baoxue was initially a bit flustered, but when she met Lin Xiaoqi's calm eyes, for some reason, her originally anxious and fearful mood suddenly calmed down a lot. Lin Baoxue nodded dumbly and followed Lin Xiaoqi in a daze.

Lin Xiaoqi casually walked forward. She remembered that when they had separated from the group, she had turned her head to glance at them. This was probably the direction they were heading in. However, she was also very careful. After all, this was Dingyuan Prince's courtyard. If anything went wrong, even ten lives wouldn't be enough to pay.

The two little girls first became flustered, then they calmed down and cautiously walked forward, looking for an exit. They originally thought that there was no one around, but they didn't know that this scene had entered into the eyes of others. The figure in the bamboo forest had his gaze locked onto Lin Xiaoqi. When he saw the calmness and calmness in Lin Xiaoqi's eyes that didn't match her age, a flash of interest passed through his eyes. He suddenly thought that this girl was quite interesting.

Seeing the two figures gradually disappear, the figure walked out from behind the bamboo forest. This man's facial features seemed as if they were carved by knives, and there was even a hint of chilliness between his brows, but for some reason, the slightly raised corner of his mouth gave off a feeling as if he was bathed in spring wind. He wore a white brocade robe, and was without any complicated patterns.

The green lake was already decorated with lights and dancing. People came and went, and the sound of the pipes and strings never stopped. It was bustling with noise and excitement.
