The five sisters each exchanged a few words, although their thoughts were uncertain, but their faces were full of sisterly love.

"Late autumn, come here." The old lady suddenly raised her voice.

Su Wanqiu looked up and saw the old lady beckoning to her with a smile, and Su Wanqiu left as she said with a smile on her face.

"Say hello to the old lady in late autumn, and wish the old lady a long and healthy life and all the best." Her voice was light and gentle, like a thin spring breeze blowing across the river, and the slight ripples that swept straight into people's hearts.

Mrs. Li looked at Su Wanqiu, only to see her slender willow eyebrows curved like the moon, her face was delicate and beautiful, although she was still young, she had a peerless appearance in the future, and she couldn't help but be speechless in her heart, admiring Su Wanqiu's appearance.

The old lady held Su Wanqiu's hand and said with a smile: "Mrs. Li and I talked about you just now." ”

The old lady was so intimate with Su Wanqiu, obviously she valued Su Wanqiu very much, and the rest of the ladies of the Hou Mansion were also present, but the old lady only called Su Wanqiu over, which naturally meant treating Su Wanqiu differently.

On the side, Su Xueyi looked at Su Wanqiu with a complicated expression, although the old lady was indifferent to her in the past, she would not be as alienated as now, but Su Wanqiu didn't know what method she used to please the old lady, so that the old lady valued her like this, which made her very jealous.

Su Wanqiu turned around and saluted Mrs. Li, her movements were standard and elegant, like flowing water, which made people feel comfortable when they looked at it: "I have seen Mrs. Li in late autumn." ”

Mrs. Li secretly exclaimed in her heart, she was indeed a young lady from the Hou Mansion, not only was she so outstanding and beautiful, but she was also meticulous in her saluting movements, presumably even the ladies in the capital were just like that, she smiled and said: "The third young lady is so beautiful, it's really amazing." ”

The young lady beside Mrs. Li stepped forward and hugged Su Wanqiu affectionately, and said with a smile: "Wanqiu, the embroidery you gave me last time is really beautiful, I like it very much." ”

This is Li Qingru, the eldest lady of the Li family, who has known Su Wanqiu since childhood and has a close relationship, today she is wearing a light red peony pleated skirt, looking very beautiful and moving, and she is looking at Su Wanqiu with a smile on her face.

"Qingru, don't be rude to the third lady!" Mrs. Li scolded softly, although she knew that Su Wanqiu and Li Qingru had always had a good relationship, but in front of the old lady, Li Qingru stepped forward like this, which was somewhat rude.

"Mrs. Li doesn't have to worry, Qingru and I are like sisters, how can I blame her." Su Wanqiu said, also stretched out her hand to hold Li Qingru, and smiled softly.

Li Qingru stuck out her tongue and said, "Late autumn, come and play with me, it's boring to be by my mother's side." ”

She is the eldest daughter of the Li family, and she is deeply loved by Lord Li, with a brother and a younger brother, and she naturally lives a very innocent and simple life under the protection of everyone.

Su Wanqiu sometimes wondered if she would be as happy as Li Qingru if her mother was still alive, but she just thought about it, so she turned her head to look at the old lady.

The old lady nodded: "You go and accompany Miss Li." ”

Mrs. Li smiled bitterly: "Let the old lady smile." ”

"It doesn't matter." The old lady smiled, Li Qingru was innocent and simple, naturally likable, she wouldn't mind, not to mention that Li Qingru had an excellent relationship with Su Wanqiu.

Su Wanqiu and Li Qingru walked side by side, all the way to the pavilion, the pavilion was breezy and very comfortable.

"Late autumn, I heard that you fell from the attic before, but nothing happened, right?" Li Qingru took Su Wanqiu's hand with concern and asked.

Su Wanqiu smiled: "Yes, fortunately, I only suffered some minor injuries, and there is no major problem." ”

"I originally wanted to come to visit you in person, but in those days I was punished by my mother and confined to my home." Li Qingru complained a little, "My mother has never let me go out now, if it weren't for the old lady's birthday today, I wouldn't have seen you." ”

Su Wanqiu couldn't help laughing: "Mrs. Li is also for your good, don't look sad." ”

"I see." Li Qingru sighed softly, "But it's boring to always be bored at home, next time you can go out with me to play, okay?" ”

"Okay, it's up to you." Su Wanqiu nodded and smiled softly.

Li Qingru's eyes turned slightly, and then she looked at the outer hall, and saw that Su Jin, who was standing tall and tall, was talking and greeting the rest of the male guests, and couldn't help but say: "I heard that many girls want to marry Su Gongzi, but Su Gongzi refused one by one. ”

Su Jin has an outstanding demeanor, and she is the concubine of the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, so it is not surprising that she will be favored by the ladies of Linchuan, but Su Wanqiu showed a somewhat sneering smile on her face: "What those people are thinking about is just the identity of my eldest brother, whether it is true or false, the eldest brother can always tell it." ”

The two gossiped for a long time, and while they were talking, a maidservant girl came over, seeing that the clothes should be the girl of the Li family, she saluted the two, and then said, "Miss, madam, please come over." ”

"Okay." Li Qingru had no choice but to nod, looked at Su Wanqiu, and said, "Then I'll go to my mother first, and I'll talk to you later." ”

"Okay, let's go quickly, don't delay." Su Wanqiu smiled lightly.

Li Qingru took the maidservant girl to the front hall, Su Wanqiu walked alone in the pavilion, she just gossiped with Li Qingru, so she let Chu Yu wait in the flower hall first, so there was no one around to serve.

She walked to the flower forest, at this time it was the golden spring season, raised her eyes to see the flowers in the forest are beautiful, the rich fragrance came bursts, she took a deep breath, only felt refreshing.

It's just that......

Her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a faint smell of blood diffused in the air, difficult to detect if she didn't deliberately look for it.

The Pingyang Hou Mansion has always been heavily guarded, but today is the old lady's birthday banquet, and Xu is someone mixed in.

Su Wanqiu turned around quietly, wanting to go to the front hall to order someone to come and search, her face was calm, pretending not to know anything, but she was a little uneasy in her heart, although the smell of blood was light, it also showed that the person in the secret was very likely to kill someone.

Suddenly, a hand appeared in front of Su Wanqiu's eyes, and she saw that her fingers were white and slender, with distinct bone joints, but there were deep calluses on the palms.

This is the hand of a man who has been pampered all year round, but he must not be underestimated because of this, the cocoon on this hand is clearly left by learning the sword since childhood.

——This was the last thought in Su Wanqiu's mind when she was dragged into the flower forest.

"Don't make a sound." The man's slightly cold, low voice sounded in her ears, and a hand was on her neck, with a slight force, it would make her breathe.

Su Wanqiu was held hostage by him, although she couldn't see his appearance, but the moment she heard this voice, she couldn't help but be slightly stunned: "Sixth prince? ”
