Immersive Fast Wear: The Anti-Strike Manual of the Heartthrob

The banquet they are going to attend will not change because of her wishes, but Ji Youran will make the changes on her own.

The banquet went on as usual.

It was a nice day, with bright sunshine and soft white clouds floating in the sky.

The sky is blue, the wind is clear, the water is green, and the flowers are fragrant.

As if the weather was favorable, the atmosphere among the ladies and young ladies who gathered together was extremely harmonious.

Yan Xi stood diagonally behind Ji Youran, watching her chatting and playing with a group of ladies.

The scene was obviously very harmonious, but she didn't know why her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Miss You Ran's obsession with Su Qian is not a one-day thing. She even did something like marrying Su Bo, whom she disliked, just to see Su Qian more often.

It was impossible for her to do nothing about Su Qian visiting his wife.

Even if she did nothing, she wouldn't be as calm as she is now.

If you look closely, you can see that Ji Youran's eyebrows are slightly raised and the corners of his mouth are upturned.

Today she even drew her eyebrows and put rouge on her lips, which made her already well-rested complexion look even better, and she looked very happy.

This is definitely not right.

But after waiting for a long time, nothing wrong happened, so Yan Xi relaxed his vigilance a little.

Ji Youran was chatting with a girl in yellow. For some reason, she suddenly touched her combed hair and a look of slight panic appeared on her face.

She stroked her hair calmly, and after confirming one thing, she turned to look at Yan Xi.

"Yanxi, the hairpin my mother gave me seems to be missing. I put it in my hair this morning when I came out. I can't lose it. Go look for it along the route we came from."

The mother here refers to the eldest princess, so the hairpin cannot be lost.

"Yes."

Yan Xi looked at Ji Youran, and after confirming that there was really no hairpin in her hair, he turned around and started looking along the way.

After searching all the way, there was no sign of the hairpin.

Suddenly, Yan Xi felt something was wrong, and she turned back to the place she had just left.

As expected, the bad feeling in her heart was reflected. The person who had just been chatting happily with his friends was no longer there.

Yan Xi looked around and found something wrong.

Why didn't she see the eldest princess today? Su Qian also didn't show up. These two points increased her bad premonition.

Yan Xi grabbed a little maid who was passing by and asked:

"Where's the princess? Isn't the second young master in the mansion? Isn't this the banquet for the second young master to see you? How come neither of them saw you?"

Her mind was full of questions, and she felt that she had encountered the biggest crisis in all her years as a maid.

The little maid was pretty and didn't look very old. She looked a little flustered when someone grabbed her.

Seeing that the person asking the question was the lady's personal maid, she hesitated for a while before saying:

"Sister Yanxi, don't you know? A few days ago, the eldest lady came to the princess's courtyard and said that her health was gradually getting better. She wanted to learn how to be a housekeeper and share some of her mother's worries."

"The princess then handed over all matters of the banquet, big and small, to the eldest lady to take care of."

"So, apart from the invitation list initially drawn up by the Princess, all other banquet matters were handled by the Madam."

"However, since this banquet was prepared in advance, the Madam didn't have too many complicated things to do, and it wasn't too tiring. Previously, it was Sister Shanxue who came to convey the Madam's orders to us."

Yan Xi didn't even know about such a big thing.

She thought carefully for a moment and finally found some clues.

That was a few days ago. Miss You Ran somehow remembered to trouble the Second Young Master again. She used the excuse that she was taking medicine and should not go out, and asked him to go to a bookstore in the west of the city to buy the latest novels.

Because Su Qian didn't understand Ji Youran's preferences, Ji Youran sent Yan Xi along as well.

At that time, she still used the rhetoric of giving Yanxi some rest time, saying that she had been too busy taking care of her health recently, and after buying the storybooks outside, she could go shopping and buy some things she liked.

Unexpectedly, when Yan Xi and Su Qian arrived at the bookstore, they found that what Ji Youran wanted to buy was the second volume of the most popular vernacular novel in the capital, and the people lining up almost took up an entire street.

The two of them waited there for almost a whole day, and only returned to the Beijinghou Mansion when the sun was about to set, holding the script they had managed to snatch.

There is no time to rest and buy other things.

It seems that Miss You Ran took advantage of this opportunity to seize the power to organize the banquet.

Ji Youran even took advantage of the time when she was not at home to do this. Does this prove that she felt that if she knew about it, she would definitely interfere?

Yan Xi went over the information in her mind and then asked the little maid:

"Even if the First Madam organized this banquet, what does it have to do with the fact that the First Princess and the Second Young Master are not here?"

The little maid turned her pair of black eyes and glanced around. After confirming that Ji Youran was not nearby, she forgot her identity as Yan Xi and Ji Youran's personal maid and explained quietly in a low voice.

"Didn't the First Madam always ask the Second Young Master to do this and that? Privately, we all think that the First Madam should be more, uh, stricter."

Seeing the maidservant hesitant to speak, Yan Xi knew that the word "strict" should be a euphemism.

She guessed that what he originally wanted to say was that the eldest lady had a bad temper.

The little maid didn't realize that Yan Xi had guessed her true thoughts, and continued:

"The princess was afraid that the first lady would think she didn't trust her, so she handed over the power of the banquet and had to supervise it. In order to avoid the first lady's suspicion, the princess went out early in the morning and asked a few ladies to go out for tea."

After saying this, the little maid thought of another person and a puzzled look appeared on her face.

"The Second Young Master hasn't come yet? I don't understand. The Second Young Master is in the mansion, so he must have been delayed by something."

Yan Xi understood the general situation and said some words of thanks to the little maid who helped him solve his doubts.

After everyone left, I stayed there and thought silently.

Something seemed wrong with the scene at hand.

She found it difficult to deal with when the eldest princess and the second young master were not around. Now that she knew the second young master was here and the eldest princess was not, she felt the situation was even more complicated.

Now the only masters in the mansion are Miss Youran and the Second Young Master. Especially since the banquet was organized by the Miss alone, it would be very convenient for her to make some adjustments.

The more Yan Xi thought about it, the darker his future seemed to him, so he hurried towards the Second Young Master's courtyard.

As long as you control one person, the other can be controlled as well.

It was not yet time for dinner, and the invited guests gathered in the garden of the mansion to enjoy the scenery and play games.

From the garden to the courtyard where Su Qian lived, one would have passed by some landscapes such as rockery, lake views, and bamboo forests.

Yan Xi was afraid that he would be too late, so he took a shortcut and soon arrived at the gate of the courtyard where Su Qian lived.
