Everyone's interest was aroused.

The banquet began, and the wine and food were served one by one. The maids came to each table with a box of numbers. All the unmarried men and women reached into the box, either generously or shyly, and drew their numbers.

The old lady originally planned to let Shen Li sit next to her, but it was Lan's persuasion that made her give up the idea.

Seeing the number box getting closer and closer to Shen Li, the old lady stretched her neck nervously and stared at her.

Lan was curious and followed the old lady's gaze. She saw Shen Li shaking his head and saying something, refusing to draw a number from the box.

Cui Lan'er beside her also shook her head and refused. The girl didn't know how to respond for a moment and subconsciously looked at Yan Yonghua who was sitting next to Shen Li.

Yan Yonghua called over another maid and whispered a few words. The maid took the order and left to report to Liu. Liu then stood up and quietly walked over to the old lady. She leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Miss Shen and Miss Cui both said that their mother passed away not long ago. It's a great honor to be able to attend the banquet. As for the lottery performance, I hope you will forgive me."

The old lady was silent for a moment, then nodded and sighed, "In that case, don't force the children. Let them eat and drink well and watch others perform."

I feel a little regretful.

She hid a special number in the box and had the maid hold it, waiting for Shen Li to reach in and draw it.

That number was for a program that he was collaborating on with his grandson. He had originally wanted the two of them to get to know each other during the performance. But now that Shen Li wasn't participating, whoever got the number would be the one to do it.

As the number strips were drawn, the banquet began in full swing.

Shen Li was a little bored, and clapped her hands to please the audience while eating.

Occasionally, a subtle sound came into her ears from the tree. She sat up and listened for a while. She didn't know which distinguished guest's secret guard it was, but there was no danger.

Come to think of it, who would go to the Yan family to cause trouble on such a festive day?

There are only two houses in the entire Da Zhou residence with the strictest security.

One is the Fang family of General Huoqi, and the other is the Yan family of Guanyonghoufu.

The two families have held military power for so many years and are the stabilizing generals of the Great Zhou.

As long as these two families are in charge of the Great Zhou, it can be guaranteed to last for three generations.

His reputation is known to everyone.

As the niece of the General of Cavalry and the savior of the Marquis of Guanyong, with these two identities backing her up, from now on, no one would dare to say anything when Shen Li wanted to walk sideways.

Therefore, her every word and action attracts special attention.

Those ladies and gentlemen who were interested in her glanced at her intentionally or unintentionally.

Shen Li knew it well, but took it calmly. She just talked and ate with Cui Lan'er and others, and ignored everything else.

The show continued and the atmosphere became more and more lively.

A maid ran in hurriedly from outside, came to Liu in panic, and whispered something in her ear.

Liu's expression was stunned for a moment.

He subconsciously looked at Shen Li, then quickly looked away.

Shen Li felt it keenly, and calmly pricked up his ears, lowered his head, and concentrated on catching the sounds outside.

However, Liu didn't say anything else. She stood up, signaled the maid to lead the way, and hurriedly left the banquet.

Something is wrong, very wrong.

Shen Li straightened her body out of habit, and a sense of vigilance suddenly filled her whole body.

It must be related to her. The look Liu gave her just now told her that she was definitely not wrong.

Today they came to the Guanyong Marquis's residence. Even if Gulu and the others came, they couldn't get in, so they simply didn't come.

There was no one in front of her to give orders. The feeling of guessing for a long time without getting an answer was very tiring. Shen Li stood up without thinking, and Cui Lan'er beside her looked at her strangely.

"I'll go to Ruyi's room." Shen Li whispered.

"Let me go with you." Cui Lan'er said.

"No need, I know where it is. Qiluo is with me and I will be back soon."

Shen Li quickly refused.

"Okay, then you go quickly and come back soon." Cui Lan'er didn't take it to heart and was attracted by the show on the stage again.

Led by the maid from the Yan Mansion, Shen Li and Qi Luo arrived at Ruyi's room.

After sending the maid back, Shen Li said to Qiluo, "There's something wrong with Liu. I'll go see what's going on. You find a place to stay here for a while, and we'll go together when I come back."

Qiluo said, "Let me go and take a look. Miss, just go back after you've finished using Ruyi's room. I'll come find you after I'm done."

"No, if you go over there and get caught by someone, it will be obvious that you're there to get information, and the master will be unhappy. It's okay if I go, I won't let anyone find out, I have my own way."

She wants to enter the space.

Once you enter the space, you can go anywhere you want as long as it's not too extreme, driven by your thoughts.

Last time in Liu Fei Palace, she relied on this function of space to successfully mobilize her thoughts and send herself into the secret room.

Entering Ruyi Room, there was no one inside, and Shen Li entered the space instantly.

As soon as I entered, I felt like the space was flying.

The scene of Liu walking outside with the maid flashed through her mind, and the space instantly flew to the air. Through the light mist, she saw Liu standing in a hidden corner, opposite her was a little girl of seven or eight years old. The maid looked around vigilantly to prevent anyone from suddenly breaking in.

Shen Li moved closer to listen to what they were saying.

As she approached, her brow furrowed.

The little girl seemed a little silly, and she kept repeating the same sentence, "I'm here to find my sister. My sister's name is Shen Li, and we have the same mother."

Liu was afraid of being overheard, so she coaxed the little girl softly, "Good girl, who asked you to come here? Tell your aunt that she will buy you some candy."

The little girl tilted her head and thought for a while, then said obediently, "A brother asked me to come."

"What's that brother's name?"

"I don't know. Brother said that you can find my sister here. My sister's name is Shen Li. We have the same mother."

"Don't talk nonsense. Good children don't lie." Liu deliberately put on a stern face, trying to scare her. "There's no one named Shen Li here. That brother must have lied to you. Where did you meet that brother?"

The little girl tilted her head and thought for a while: "On the street, my brother was so nice and bought me candied haws."

"Did he bring you outside? Did he teach you to cry and call for your sister when you got here?"

The maid just found her and said that the doorman came to report that a silly girl had come and was crying and shouting, looking for her sister.

They could have chased her away, but the silly girl said her sister was Shen Li, so the doorman didn't dare to chase her away.

I had no choice but to go in and report, and ask my master what to do.

Liu was anxious.

I was thinking about the banquet in the backyard, but I didn't know what to do with the children in front of me.

I can't get anything useful out of asking, I can't beat him, and I can't ask Shen Li.

Judging from the child's age, if he and Shen Li are really from the same mother, what does that mean? It means that Fang has an unclear relationship with others in Zhuangzi.

Oh my goodness.

Liu covered her head, feeling like it was about to explode.
