After Jiang Huagui and Rong Wu finished their secret plan, they quickly separated, one returned to the front yard and the other returned to the back yard.

The rockery behind the pavilion returned to its previous quiet state, as if nothing had happened.

The opera troupe invited by the Rong family set up the stage in the large garden of the Jiang Mansion. The Rong family ordered a total of three plays, one of which was the currently popular face-changing play, which was performed after dinner.

Because of the difference between men and women, taking advantage of the terrain of the garden, the men sat on the left, the women sat on the right, and in the middle sat several elders from both families.

After everyone finished their dinner, they excitedly went to the big garden to continue listening to the opera troupe perform. Old Lady Jiang said she was tired and went back to Xiluo Garden to rest first.

However, not long after the face-changing show began, a little maid came into the garden in a hurry.

After accurately finding Jiang Fugui's location, she walked over and leaned over to whisper in her ear, "Second Miss, the old lady suddenly vomited. I don't know if she has an upset stomach or a gastrointestinal disease. Please come with me to take a look!"

Jiang Fugui was sitting on the outside. When she heard the maid say this, she looked up and took a look at her appearance.

Yes, indeed, it’s a stranger.

Jiang Fugui nodded, his expression unchanged, still calm: "Have you called a doctor?"

"Madam Qingyan has already sent someone to invite her, but the old lady wanted to see you, so Madam Qingyun asked me to invite you over to take a look."

"Okay, wait for me for a moment. I need to ask Shantu to go back to the yard to get some things."

"Yes."

The little maid who responded walked to the corridor not far away and stood facing Jiang Fugui, waiting.

Then, under the watchful eyes of the maidservant, Jiang Fugui beckoned Shantu over and whispered, "Go find a few strong servants, bring your tools, and quickly follow me. I'll go and take a look at the situation."

Shantu glanced at the little maid and said, "She is not the maid from the old lady's courtyard. Miss, please be careful."

"Well, let's go."

After saying that, Jiang Fugui gave Shan Ying a look, then stood up and walked towards where the little maid was standing.

When the little maid saw Jiang Fugui walking towards her, she made a gesture to invite him in, and then walked in front to lead the way.

There is a main path from the garden to Xiluoyuan, as well as two secluded paths, one of which is close to an abandoned warehouse where miscellaneous items are stored...

Jiang Fugui and Shan Ying were not walking very fast. The little maid leading the way stopped several times to wait for them, her face full of impatience.

Finally, the three of them slowly walked into the most remote path.

Jiang Fugui gave Shan Ying a wink, and the latter understood and lagged behind her half a step. At the same time, taking advantage of the cover of darkness, he picked a few leaves as a mark for the mountain rabbit that was following far behind.

"Miss, this road is usually not taken care of by anyone, and it looks so desolate right now that it's a little scary."

"Yeah. I always feel like someone is watching nearby, so I have to be careful."

After Jiang Fugui glanced at the little maid, he turned his head and spoke to Shan Ying in a low voice.

The night was cold and her voice was as clear as a stream.

However, the two people who were talking did not notice that the little maid leading the way suddenly disappeared.

When Jiang Fugui turned around and looked forward, she bumped into someone.

To be more precise, Jiang Fugui threw herself into the arms of a strange man, and almost instantly, she was hugged tightly by the man with both hands.
