"Father thinks I should have a few more years of experience. These two years should be spent following my eldest brother's appointment and participating more to gain experience." Wu Ziming was a little disappointed. He thought that he was not much younger than Wu Ziqi at fifteen, but it was a pity. His abilities and ambitions are temporarily nowhere to be put to use.
"It seems like Ziming doesn't have any free time either..."
Wu Ziqi immediately took over Wu Ziming's words and nodded in response, "That's right, because he has to get familiar with the bureaucrats and quickly become familiar with the big and small matters after taking office. So I haven't been here these days. Stop, I just got some free time to get together with you all."
"It doesn't matter if it's early or late for this kind of thing, as long as I have some free time." Xin Zhi drank a glass of fruit wine leisurely and glanced at Wu Liuyun with meaningful eyes. He has been waiting for a long time since he finished speaking at the Hundred Flowers Banquet that day...
Wu Liuyun was listening silently, but when she heard the sound, she raised her head and immediately met Xin Zhi's eyes. Xin Zhi's somewhat ambiguous gaze made Wu Liuyun feel irritated and disgusted, so she quickly averted her eyes and looked away.
Everyone else knew that Xin Zhi was (and maybe still is) obsessed with Wu Liuyun, so they naturally thought that Xin Zhi was going back to his old habit of teasing others.
Wu Ziqi quickly changed the subject and talked about the scenery of Yunshu Garden.
While everyone was talking and laughing, Tian Anran leaned over and whispered to Jiang Ying: "Hey, I don't see Mr. Xue coming out very often. I thought he was a nerd and only knew how to study at home. Why is he here today?"
Xue Yan is really indifferent to a certain level. If Tian Anran remembers correctly... this person is not even interested in the Hundred Flowers Banquet! It is said that he is the only person in Long Fu who refuses to join the Hundred Flowers Banquet even once.
Although you can come to the Hundred Flowers Banquet in name only if you are old enough, there are no special rules if you don't come. But over the years, a custom has been formed that he must go. He is obviously in good health, but yet he refuses to go again, which is really out of character.
If this person is very ordinary, and he refuses to show up on various occasions, under normal circumstances no one would know about him. But he was talented and famous, and many talented women in Long Fu fell in love with him.
Tian Anran saw this "legendary figure" for the first time today, and he was really curious.
Jiang Ying glanced at Xue Yan, then raised the corner of her mouth, and said with some pride: "You don't know, Mr. Xue and brother Ziqi used to have the same teacher, and they had a good relationship. But then brother Ziqi left... Brother Ziqi asked him to come today, so he will definitely give him face."
Tian Anran sneered, "It's rare to hear you call me brother or brother."
"I'll just call Brother Ziqi." Jiang Ying glared at Tian Anran proudly. She was the eldest in the Taiguo Palace. Since she was a child, only her cousin Wu Ziqi could be a few days older than her. This shrewd little witch can only be cured by Wu Ziqi.
Tian Anran sat back in his seat and secretly looked at Xue Yan's side face. He thought to himself that this person was really attractive, but he was a bit too unique. He insisted on being different from others, and he didn't know whether it was good or bad.

At this time, Cherry finally came back. She quietly came to Wu Liuyun's side and whispered: "Miss..."
Wu Liuyun turned around and looked behind Yingtao for a long time, then asked in shock: "Where is the person?"
Just as Yingtao was about to speak, Xin Zhi shouted loudly: "Hey, where is Wu Sheyue? Have you called her?"
Wu Liuyun was angry. He Yingying looked around and found that everyone was already looking over. He straightened his body and said aggrievedly, "This... Third Miss, she can't say it." Yingying's voice was still trembling, as if she was about to cry.
Wu Jinghua, who was listening to the side, was a little gloating. Could it be that Tao Tao was also beaten by her
"No, not coming?! Why isn't she coming?" Wu Liuyun frowned and couldn't help but exchange a look with Wu Ziqi. She had thought of many ways to deal with the unexpected event, but she never thought that Wu Sheyue would simply not come!
"Yes, it's the Third Miss. She said... She, she wants to avoid suspicion... There are too many people here..." Cherry's voice was very low, almost inaudible from behind. It's really hard for her to say those things that ridicule her own lady in front of so many people.
But that alone was enough. As soon as the word "avoid suspicion" came out, the surrounding atmosphere was different. Wu Liuyun stood up immediately. She clenched her hands and looked ugly. If no one else was around, her fire must be coming out...
"Liuyun." Wu Ziqi called her indifferently.
Wu Liuyun let go of his hand and sat down again, but he was obviously very angry.
Mo Yunsheng broke the stiff atmosphere and said with emotion: "Haha, it turns out that Miss Wu San is so... such a character in private."
Xue Yan, on the other hand, nodded in agreement. He was more crazy than stupid, smarter than amazing, and his character made sense.
"It's really like this." Tian Anran said with a half-smile: "I say Liuyun, your third sister is really full of style. You talk about our little gathering like something unbearable, this … He’s really a bit arrogant.”
Tian Anran looked at Wu Liuyun with a hint of disdain and disappointment in his eyes. The reason she was willing to come today was entirely because Wu Liuyun had said before that Wu Sheyue would be embarrassed today. Tian Anran had always hated Wu Sheyue for taking off her clothes, so of course she was willing to come and have a look.
She was originally thinking about helping Wu Liuyun today, but the protagonist didn't plan to appear at all. From this point of view, Wu Liuyun couldn't control Wu Sheyue at all. He wouldn't have come if he had known it.
Among all the people, only Wu Lixiang was still eating snacks happily. She couldn't hear the hint of avoiding suspicion, but she thought that Wu Sheyue was really a fool. Except for a few members of the Taiguo Duke's mansion, the rest are all direct sons of first-rank official families! You are a fool not to take advantage of such a good opportunity. But it doesn’t matter if she doesn’t come, there are already three Long Fu Simei here, so don’t ask her to come and steal the limelight.

Mo Yunsheng glanced at Wu Ziqi, and then continued to smooth things over for everyone, "Forget it, since the third lady refuses to come, there may be something wrong. It's better for us to talk among ourselves, and there is no need to insist. You have to force the third lady."
Jiang Wenhan, the Duke of Taiguo, also agreed, "Yes, the third lady is shy after all. We are more familiar with each other..."
Xin Zhi showed reluctance and was about to speak, but Wu Ziqi gave a tough smile and said, "But except for my fifth sister and third brother who are too young to drink, everyone else is here. Only It’s not good if she doesn’t come over, so I should ask her again.”
Wu Liuyun hurriedly said: "That's right. When this girl was crazy, she didn't see people very much. She probably spoke like that because she was shy. But you can't keep hiding from people like this. Sooner or later, you have to give it a try Well." If Wu She didn't come, Wu Liuyun would have nowhere to vent his anger.
Listening to Wu Liuyun's gentle, easy-going and considerate tone, Wu Lixiang couldn't help but put down her snacks and rolled her eyes secretly. Is Wu Liuyun crazy? You have to ask that person to do something when you have nothing to do. Isn't it embarrassing enough before
But since the two landlords, Wu Ziqi and Wu Liuyun, had said that they must invite him, the others could only keep their mouths shut.
Wu Ziqi asked Yingying seriously, "By the way, you just went to see the third lady. Did you see that she looked uncomfortable?"
When Yingtao met Wu Ziqi's eyes, she immediately felt blessed, "No! When I went there, I saw the third lady still exercising her muscles in the courtyard. It looked like nothing was wrong. The third lady was still chatting with Ning'er. You’re smiling, you’re happy.”
"Ouch~" Xin Zhi made an exaggerated sound, and everyone else looked at each other with different expressions.
Jiang Ying, the little pepper, immediately sneered, "You still move your muscles? And you talk and laugh? Ha, then let's ask her what she does. She is a talented woman who has been favored by the gods and can turn decay into magic. She refuses They already looked down on us when they came there.”
What she said was strange, but it also reached the hearts of most people. Now they have come into contact with it deeply. It turns out that the third girl of the Wu family has become arrogant and arrogant because she has gained some fame.
Wu Liuyun immediately covered his mouth with his hands after hearing this, with a look of sadness and pain on his face, "As long as the third sister is fine, everything else is fine. Sigh... She doesn't want to come today, so I can't blame her entirely. Maybe... maybe She must have been angry with me these past two days and wanted nothing to do with me. If I had known this, I should have given her the things my brother brought me, so as not to make her feel unhappy again—hey, why am I talking about this?"
She hesitated to speak, and half of her words were cryptic.
He looked so worried and uneasy, so delicate and kind-hearted that Xin Zhi and the other men's eyes widened. How could such a beautiful girl feel sad because it was no fault of her own
Of course Jiang Ying knew what kind of character Wu Liuyun was, and immediately helped, "Liu Yun's biggest problem is that he is too talkative. Liu Yun, you have to change this, otherwise some people will not be able to tell who he is. "
Tian Anran also said meaningfully: "Yes, Liuyun is really... too easy to bully."
Wu Liuyun did not blush, but nodded in agreement with great sadness. The ice beauty was really pitiful now.
This beautiful scenery made most of the men present excited, and they all denounced someone who didn't know the heights of heaven and earth.
Mo Yunsheng was the first to speak out unjustly, "Ziqi and Miss Liu Yun are the closest people in the world, why should you give the things that Zi Qi gave you to others. I don't think Miss Liu Yun is willing to give it to anyone else." You need to worry about this matter. If the third lady is really dissatisfied because of this, it is just that the third lady is too ignorant of the rules..." (To be continued)
