After I traveled through the book, I fought back in the Hou Mansion

"As long as Sister Yan likes it, this embroidery method is not rare. It's my honor to be praised by Sister Yan." Her smile was as beautiful as a spring flower, but there was a hint of subtle shyness in her eyes.

Liu Xiangdong's heart beat faster because of her fascination, and he quickly looked away to cover up his loss of composure.

For the next moment, Lu Zhaozhao did her best to start a conversation, praising Liu Yanyan. "Sister Yan is as elegant as an orchid, and you have outstanding talent. I wonder which young master would be so lucky to marry you! I imagine the number of people proposing marriage to the Marquis of Jing'an's mansion must have broken through the threshold, right?"

Liu Yanyan always maintained a proud attitude and responded indifferently, "Thank you for the compliment, sister." Her tone was flat and her facial expression did not change much.

In her heart, she cursed, "Bitch! Everyone in Kyoto knows that my family has yet to have a suitable young man come to propose marriage. This bitch actually praises me openly but mocks me secretly." Liu Yanyan's expression grew uglier, her eyes revealing anger.

But she soon realized that she could not offend Lu Zhaozhao now, so she clenched the handkerchief tightly in her hand and tried to control her emotions.

In reality, Liu Yanyan was overthinking this. Lu Zhaozhao only wanted to build a good relationship with her, but he was unaware of the rumors circulating in the capital about Liu Yanyan. Unfortunately, his flattery today backfired.

Liu Xiangdong noticed something was wrong with his sister. He glanced at Lu Zhaozhao and quickly interrupted, "Sister Zhaozhao, you don't know this, but Yanyan has always had high standards. She wouldn't look down on ordinary young men!"

Then he turned to Liu Yanyan and said, "Yanyan, you haven't been feeling well lately. Go back and rest first. I'll take care of Miss Lu here. I'll take her back later."

Liu Yanyan was worried about where to step down, and after hearing what her second brother said, she stood up and nodded slightly, saying, "Then I'll trouble you, second brother. I'm indeed a little tired." After that, she looked at Lu Zhaozhao coldly again, turned and left.

Lu Zhaozhao looked confused, not knowing how he had offended Liu Yanyan.

Liu Xiangdong looked at Liu Yanyan's departing back, sighed helplessly, and then said to Lu Zhaozhao: "Miss Lu, my sister is not feeling well today. Please forgive me if I have offended you. I will take you out."

Lu Zhaozhao nodded slightly and followed Liu Xiangdong out of the flower hall.

The two of them walked out of the mansion, with the maids and old women following them from a distance.

Liu Xiangdong suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked, "Sister Zhaozhao, have you ever walked around this Kyoto?" His eyes were full of anticipation, hoping to spend more time with Lu Zhaozhao.

Lu Zhaozhao shook his head slightly and said, "I'm new to Kyoto and haven't had a good look around yet."

Liu Xiangdong was delighted. "Then I'll take you around today. There are many interesting places in Kyoto."

Lu Zhaozhao hesitated, "This... isn't a good idea."

Liu Xiangdong said hurriedly, "Why not? You're new here and unfamiliar with the place. As your host, I should show you around Kyoto."

Lu Zhaozhao looked at Liu Xiangdong's eager eyes and nodded slightly.

When Liu Xiangdong saw that she agreed, a bright smile immediately appeared on his face.

.........

After leaving the flower hall, Liu Yanyan's face immediately changed, and she walked towards her own courtyard with a dark and blue face. Her maid, Xiangcao, followed her, not daring to breathe.

Liu Yanyan walked forward for a while with her head down. Then, turning back, she saw Xiangcao trailing far behind her, not catching up. She instantly yelled in anger, "You slut, you're so far away from me. If I accidentally fell, would you be in time to help me?"

Vanilla was so frightened that she quickly trotted forward, lowered her head, and said tremblingly: "Miss, please calm down. I know I was wrong."

"Pa!" A crisp slap sounded. Liu Yanyan snorted coldly and shook her red hands.

"If it happens again, I will skin you alive." After saying that, she stopped looking at her and continued walking forward.

Qingcao covered her face, which turned red and swollen instantly, and hurried to catch up, but if you looked closely, you could see the hatred that flashed across her eyes.

This room

The carriage drove along the flat, wide street, and the shouts of various vendors on both sides of the street echoed one after another. Du Juan opened the curtains and stuck her head out. "Wow, Miss, there are so many food vendors here!"

Chun Xing sat quietly beside her, also peering out curiously. Outside the car window, a bustling scene filled the air, people coming and going. The aroma of various delicacies filled the air, making one's mouth water. Du Juan excitedly described the scene outside, and Chun Xing nodded from time to time, her eyes full of novelty.

Luo Shuiyao leaned back in the carriage, looking at them with a smile in her eyes, listening to their chattering and screaming.

Her eyes were gentle, as if she were looking at two children. But to her, they were indeed children. Du Juan and Chun Xing's vibrant appearance also infected Luo Shuiyao, allowing her to feel the liveliness and energy. She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, feeling particularly happy.

The carriage passed through several alleys and stopped on a street not far from Ruyi Teahouse.

When leaving, Luo Shuiyao told the driver to take her here. If she got too close and was recognized by Ye Yunzhou, that would be bad.

Although she was not afraid of meeting Ye Yunzhou, there were naturally benefits to having one more contact with him before he revealed his true identity.

Luo Shuiyao gently lifted a corner of the carriage curtain and looked out. The Ruyi Teahouse not far away was quaint and bustling with people.

She turned around and handed a piece of paper to Chun Xing. This was the prescription she wrote down before going out today. Some of the herbs were for her own use, and some could relieve the Marquis's headache. The Marquis was good to her, and now she could only repay her a little to the best of her ability.

"Ask the driver to take you to a reputable shop and get the medicine according to this list. After you get the medicine, wait for me here. I will come back with Dujuan after I finish my work." Luo Shuiyao instructed Chun Xing in a serious tone.

Chun Xing took the prescription hesitantly and nodded slightly, "Don't worry, Miss. I will definitely take care of this matter."

Luo Shuiyao felt a little relieved as she watched Chun Xing carefully put away the prescription. She turned around, took the veil that Du Juan handed her, put it on her head, and got off the carriage.

"Uncle Zhou, Du Juan and I have something to do at the teahouse across the street. You can take Chun Xing to the pharmacy and ask her to get some medicine. Then you can go back first and don't wait for us."

Uncle Zhou nodded, "Yes, cousin, don't worry, I will definitely take care of it for you."

Luo Shuiyao nodded slightly and walked towards the teahouse opposite with Du Juan. Her figure seemed particularly elegant in the crowd, her face vaguely visible under the veil, and passers-by cast curious glances at her.

The master and servant walked to the door of Ruyi Teahouse, but Luo Shuiyao suddenly froze in place.

Du Juan looked at her puzzledly, "Miss, what's wrong?"

Luo Shuiyao sighed silently. They had arranged to meet at Ruyi Teahouse, but they hadn't specified which floor it was. What should she do?
