After the indigenous heroine was reborn, she went crazy and reorganized the plot line

I originally thought it would be difficult to catch Yingxiang at this time.

Unexpectedly, she did not go back to the backyard to do things after leaving the cottage, but went to take a bath instead.

Rong Su sneaked into Yingxiang's room and heard the footsteps behind her had stopped. She thought that Shen Peiqing also knew what Yingxiang was going to do, so he didn't plan to follow.

She withdrew her gaze, squatted down, and walked in gently.

Remembering something, she looked around and found several handkerchiefs on a cabinet. She walked over, reached out and grabbed one at random, then covered her face with it to hide her features.

While Yingxiang was still immersed in the bath, Rong Su had already walked behind her, quickly took out a silver needle and pierced it into the back of her neck.

Yingxiang now realized that someone had broken into her room. Her face was filled with horror, and because she was facing away from Rongsu, she couldn't see her face clearly. She then found herself suddenly unable to move, and she couldn't help but scream in fright.

Rong Su saw that she was about to scream, and immediately reached out to cover her mouth, bent down, and warned: "Don't make a sound, I won't hurt you. If you dare to call someone over, you may not be able to escape."

"Hmm. Hmm." Yingxiang widened her eyes in fear. When she heard a woman's voice, she became even more panicked because she had offended many people.

"If you don't call for help, I will let you go. Otherwise, I have plenty of ways to make you answer my questions without making any sound." Rong Su threatened her in a calm voice.

When Yingxiang heard this, she turned pale with fright and nodded repeatedly.

Seeing that she was willing to cooperate, Rong Su gently loosened his grip and asked directly, "Do you know where the Quanshan Blood Lotus is hidden?"

Yingxiang was afraid of what Rongsu might do to her, so she didn't dare to hide anything. She answered with a trembling voice, "Right, right here in the storage building."

Storage building? Rong Su frowned and thought about it. She didn't know the terrain here and wouldn't be able to find it for a while.

Wouldn't it be faster to just look at Yingxiang, or just let this person take her to find him?

Just as she was about to force Yingxiang to take her to find Xuelian, she suddenly heard a lot of footsteps outside the house.

It seemed like now wasn't the right time to look for the Blood Lotus. Rong Su lowered her eyes to glance at Ying Xiang, and placed her finger on her shoulder, a dangerous, slightly threatening tone: "Don't tell anyone else that I came to ask you about the Blood Lotus. I've already poisoned you. If you don't know what's good for you, you'll die. Don't blame me when the time comes."

When Yingxiang heard this, her eyes widened in horror, she cried in fear and begged her: "Please, I won't tell, please give me the antidote, please!"

"Hehe. Once I successfully get the blood lotus, I will give you the antidote." Rong Su glanced at her indifferently, and then when she heard that there were fewer people outside, she reached out and pulled out the silver needle from Yingxiang's body. After a while, Yingxiang fainted.

Then she quickly walked to the window frame, opened it, and left the room through the window.

"Did you find out?" Shen Peiqing leaned against the window at some point and asked her softly.

Rong Su glanced at him sideways, clapped her hands, straightened her dress, and then said, "The storage building."

Shen Peiqing raised an eyebrow. At this moment, there were many footsteps nearby. His face became serious as he said to her, "The birthday banquet is about to begin. We can't stay in the backyard any longer. We have added a lot of manpower to the backyard."

Rong Su naturally heard it too and looked at him: "Then go back to the front yard first. We'll find another opportunity to look for the blood lotus later."

Shen Peiqing nodded, and then the two of them followed the path, avoiding many people, and finally returned to the front yard smoothly.

The front yard is now even more lively than at the beginning, obviously because the owner is sitting on the main seat.

Sitting on the main seat was an elderly woman with white hair. She was wearing elegant brocade clothes and her hair was adorned with hairpins inlaid with gold and jade. This should be the protagonist of this birthday banquet, Mrs. Xiao.

Sitting next to Old Madam Xiao was a very young woman. She was wearing a goose yellow dress and a hairpin with the same color as the dress. However, her face was covered by a silver hollow mask.

Her true face could not be seen, and although her eyes were smiling, one could vaguely see the sadness in them.

It seems that this person is Miss Xiao Huan from the Xiao family.

"Miss Rong. Are you doing well?" Gu Yun and Gu Yuer saw her and Shen Peiqing and hurriedly walked over through the crowd. Gu Yun asked gently when he saw her for the first time.

Rong Su didn't know how to answer this question. It was smooth, at least she knew the whereabouts of the blood lotus, but it was not smooth either, after all, she didn't really get the blood lotus.

"It can't be said to be smooth." Rong Su spoke softly, her eyes always on Xiao Huan and Old Madam Xiao. She saw that many people had begun to wish Old Madam Xiao a happy birthday one after another.

She then asked Gu Yun, "Has the birthday banquet started yet?"

After hearing this, Gu Yun followed her gaze and looked towards Old Madam Xiao, then said softly, "Yes. It has begun. The Xiao residence seems to be very popular among the people of Ningcheng. Almost all the people in the city have come."

Hearing this, Rong Su glanced around and saw that it was indeed crowded, with people continuing to come in from outside.

Moreover, every citizen who came here had a happy smile on their face, and it was obvious that they came sincerely to celebrate Old Madam Xiao's birthday, not just to have a banquet or to ask for rewards.

At this time, an old man standing next to Madam Xiao looked quite majestic, probably the housekeeper.

He raised his hands, faced everyone, and said loudly: "Thank you all for coming to celebrate Old Madam Xiao's birthday. Please be quiet. Now the old lady has something to say to everyone."

As soon as this sound came out, the noisy and bustling sounds at the scene gradually disappeared, and the entire front yard suddenly became quiet.

Everyone looked at Mrs. Xiao.

The Xiao family's housekeeper bowed slightly and whispered a few words to Old Madam Xiao. Old Madam Xiao smiled kindly and spoke gently to everyone.

"At my age, it's an honor to be able to sit here and accept your congratulations. Thank you all for your kindness."

Someone couldn't help but speak up, stood up, and said to Madam Xiao: "Madam, this is your birthday banquet, we all have to come."

As soon as this person said this, others began to echo him.

"That's right! We'll come as many times as you hold your birthday party!"

"Yep!"

"The people of Ningcheng have all received your help. Back then, there was a famine in Ningcheng, and many people were starving and unable to survive. Thanks to your kindness, you opened the granary and gave us alms. We are truly grateful!"

An elderly uncle stood up and bowed to Madam Xiao with gratitude on his face.

As the uncle stood up, many people stood up from their seats and bowed to Old Madam Xiao.

After a while, all the people in the front yard stood up and bowed to Madam Xiao to express their gratitude.

Seeing this, Rong Su and the others had no choice but to follow their lead and stand up and bow.

Seeing how much the people loved and respected Old Madam Xiao, Rong Su had some ideas in his mind.

Old Madam Xiao has such a high reputation in the eyes of the people of Ningcheng.

Madam Xiao raised her hand, moved, and asked the people to sit down. She smiled kindly and said, "We are all from Ningcheng. When Ningcheng is in trouble, I will naturally not stand by and watch them perish. And it was my daughter Huan'er who suggested opening the granaries and releasing the grain. If anyone wants to thank someone, please thank Huan'er."

“It was actually Miss Xiao’s kindness that saved us!”

"Miss Xiao is truly a kind person!"

"Yes! Yes!"

"Thank you, Miss Xiao!"

With just one sentence, Old Madam Xiao made Xiao Huan the beloved of all the people in Ningcheng.

Rong Su looked at Old Madam Xiao deeply, and became thoughtful.

"Well, thank you all for your congratulations. The food and wine at my house are simple, so please enjoy them. I appreciate your kindness."

Old Madam Xiao smiled and asked the people to start eating, while she held Xiao Huan's hand and seemed to be saying something to her.

After hearing this, Xiao Huan's eyes were filled with smiles, creating a warm picture.

At this time, a handsome young man walked out from somewhere. He was wearing a blue brocade suit and holding a folding fan in his hand, looking like a graceful young man.

His arrival immediately attracted Xiao Huan's attention.

The young man smiled and bowed to Old Madam Xiao. Then he waved his hand and asked the servant behind him to hand the gift in his hand to the housekeeper. He seemed to say something to Old Madam Xiao, which made Old Madam Xiao smile so much that even the wrinkles on her face showed joy.

The front yard was filled with noise and conversation, and the content of the conversation over there was completely inaudible.

Rong Su was a little confused as to whether he should sneak over and eavesdrop.

At this time, some people who knew the young man began to talk about it.

"Isn't that young man the newly hired doctor of the Xiao family? He seems to be very favored by the old lady."

"You mean that elegant and graceful young man? It's true, Mr. Ma. I know him. The day before yesterday, he brought a maid to my place to choose hairpins and jewelry for Miss Xiao."

"It seems that Mr. Ma and Miss Xiao might be a good match!"

"Haha, that's right. In the past, Miss Xiao was a stunningly beautiful woman in Central China. It's a pity that she got such a strange disease. What a pity, what a pity."

"Well, I think that with the help of Mr. Ma, a skilled and kind doctor, Miss Xiao's beauty will definitely be restored. When the time comes, we will prepare the gifts and come to the Xiao family for the wedding!"

"Haha, that's right! That's right!"

Afterwards, the two people who were talking started drinking from the same cup, and the conversation was no longer about the Xiao family.

Rong Su didn't listen, but instead turned her attention to Madam Xiao and the others.

Staring at the young man in blue, it turned out that this person was Matthew Zhi.

Seeing that Matthew was standing next to Xiao Huan, although Xiao Huan was wearing a mask and could not see her expression at the moment, she could see through her eyes that she seemed to be a little shy.

Looking at Matthew again, he always had a gentle and warm smile on his face and never stopped talking, as if he was talking to Xiao Huan.

Rong Su looked around and saw a servant standing nearby who seemed to be distracted. She walked over and smiled at him. The servant was a little surprised to see Rong Su approaching, and then looked at her smile, and for a moment he suddenly realized something and even felt a little shy.

"Miss, is there anything you need me to do?"

Rong Su smiled faintly, took out a silver ingot and handed it to the servant. The servant was already a little dazzled by Rong Su's clear smile, and now when he saw the silver, his head was suddenly confused.

"Actually, I just want to get to know Doctor Ma with you. I think Doctor Ma is a handsome and elegant man. He is really a good man. So I want to get to know him." Rong Su tried her best to act shy and timid, as if she had a good impression of Ma Xiuzhi.

When the servant saw her looking like a young girl in love, he felt a sense of loss in his heart, but he quickly suppressed this inappropriate emotion, thought for a while, and then replied to her.

"My lady, Doctor Ma is indeed a man of extraordinary bearing and treats people very well. However, I think you have no chance. My lady and Doctor Ma seem to have already secretly become lovers."

The servant seemed to have considered it for a while before telling her, and it seemed that he didn't want to see her sad.

When Rong Su heard this, he made a judgment in his heart. After showing some regret and sadness on his face, he thanked the servant and turned away regretfully, which made the servant feel a little sad.

After turning around, Rong Su's face suddenly became cold, and there was a hint of amused sarcasm in his eyes.

It seems that Matthew is doing a good job in playing both sides. On the one hand, he has an affair with the maid of the Xiao family, and on the other hand, he is flirting with Xiao Huan with bad intentions.

Rong Su thought about it and raised the corner of her mouth slightly. What an interesting play would this be?

It really made her look forward to it.

She stood aside with one arm folded, staring at Xiao Huan and Ma Xiuzhi over there. She didn't know when Madam Xiao had left the table and was no longer in the main seat.

"What did you ask the servant just now?" Shen Peiqing appeared beside her at some point, his cold voice carrying a hint of doubt.

Rong Su glanced at him sideways, then looked at the host and gave a faint, interested smile.

"Nothing much. Just asked some interesting questions, that's all."

When Shen Peiqing heard this, he couldn't help but frown slightly. He lowered his eyes to look at Rong Su, who had a meaningful smile on her face. He thought to himself, what is this crazy girl going to do next?

Suddenly, a servant came to Xiao Huan from somewhere in a hurry and said something to her.

Afterwards, Xiao Huan's eyes changed, as if something had happened. She immediately stood up and hurried to the backyard.

Matthew's expression seemed a little serious, but his solemn face could not hide the sly smile that flashed across his eyes.

"It seems something happened." Shen Peiqing also noticed the actions of Xiao Huan and Ma Xiuzhi, and he spoke in a low voice.

Rong Su narrowed her eyes and turned to walk towards the backyard. Shen Peiqing saw her and immediately reached out to hold her. He frowned and looked at her intently and asked, "Are you going with me?"

"What else?" Rong Su looked at Shen Peiqing with a look that said, "You're not asking nonsense."

Shen Peiqing saw her look, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he said in a cold voice: "At least you have to disguise yourself."

Rong Su subconsciously rolled her eyes and pulled her hand away: "No need for you to remind me."

Then she quietly avoided people and walked towards the backyard.

Seeing this, Shen Peiqing felt Rong Su's disgust and felt unhappy, but for some reason, he still observed his surroundings and followed.

Gu Yun, who had just gone to look for pastries, was about to bring them to Rong Su, but he saw her going to the backyard. He was about to ask, but the next moment he saw Shen Peiqing following her.

Suddenly, he couldn't help but lower his eyes and looked at the plate of cakes in his hands, with a hint of loss in his eyes.

Gu Yuer was sitting on the side and naturally noticed her brother's emotions. Then she looked at Rong Su and Shen Peiqing who were not there at the same time, and she had some ideas in her mind.
