She knew her own family background very well. Since she was treated gently for the first time after arriving at the Marquis' Mansion, Liu Tianjia immediately fell in love with the ladies in front of him.

He wanted to follow them to the pavilion to talk, but when he thought about the other party saying they wanted to play a game of drinking, he smiled and shook his head.

"Thank you for your kindness, sisters. I am not good at playing sobbing, so I won't disturb your fun."

After saying that, Liu Tianjia led the maid behind him and turned sideways to let the girls go to the pavilion not far away.

"We are just having some fun. Don't be restrained, sister. Why don't we all join in?"

The girl in yellow who had just spoken invited again.

Liu Tianjia grew up in the Liu family and went to school, but she had no talent for reading. Her mother always said that a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent. She hoped that she could read for a few days and recognize a few words, as long as she did not become a blind person and be sold to others to count money. Therefore, she was very perfunctory about reading and learning to read.

Every time he went out to attend a banquet, the other ladies were either playing drinking games, reciting poems, or making couplets, leaving her no chance to get a word in. This was why he liked to stroll around the garden alone and hadn't had a single close friend for many years.

Liu Tianjia hesitated whether to follow. When several young ladies went to the pavilion together, a little maid from the Marquis's Mansion suddenly came over.

"Second Miss, Third Miss said she hasn't seen you for a long time and wants to invite you to her room to sit down."

Liu Tianjia naturally knew that on such a festive day, a concubine could not walk around the yard casually.

After hearing what the little maid said, Liu Tianjia thought it was Liu Tian'ai looking for her. Without thinking, she said goodbye to the young ladies and left with the little maid.

Looking at Liu Tianjia's leaving back, the Huangshan woman who had just smiled sweetly suddenly frowned.

"Ying'er, who is that sister? She is actually acquainted with the third young lady of the Marquis' Mansion?"

"I haven't seen her either. She looks unfamiliar. She shouldn't be a famous noble lady in the capital."

The yellow-shirted girl Ying'er curled her lips and said.

When everyone heard the yellow-shirted girl say this, they knew that she didn't like that person. They chatted and laughed, and pulled her towards the pavilion not far away.

Liu Tianjia didn't know that after she left, the girls who were originally very friendly to her suddenly changed their expressions. They followed the little maid through the corridors and came to a courtyard that looked very luxurious.

Knowing that the Marquis' Mansion was richer than the Liu family, Liu Tianjia never expected that a concubine like Liu Tian'ai would live in such an exquisite courtyard.

The little maid stopped at the gate of the courtyard and said respectfully to Liu Tianjia, "Second Miss, Third Miss is waiting for you in the house. I have other things to do, so I won't accompany you in."

After saying this, the little maid bowed to Liu Tianjia and went back the way she came.

Watching the little maid leave, Liu Tianjia looked at the luxurious-looking courtyard in front of him, hesitating whether to go in.

Liu Tian'ai married into the marquis's mansion as a concubine and never returned to the Liu family since then. No one knew how she was doing there.

Thinking that Liu Tian'ai, a concubine's daughter, could live in such a nice courtyard, Liu Tianjia felt extremely envious.

She will never have the chance to live in such a nice yard in her life, so it would be nice to go in and admire it.

Thinking of this, Liu Tianjia glanced at the open door and saw that there was no one in the yard. After hesitating for a moment, he stepped in.

"Is the third sister in the house?"

There was no answer from inside the room. Liu Tianjia tried calling out twice again. Seeing that still no one came out of the yard, he turned around and was about to walk out the door. Unexpectedly, at this moment, a young man walked in from outside.

"Sorry, I'm in the wrong place..."

Seeing that the person coming was a young man, Liu Tianjia realized something was wrong and was about to leave in a panic, but the other party directly blocked the door.

"Sir, I have no intention of offending you. Please make way..."

"Girl, why did you come to my Green Bamboo Garden?"

"Here……"

The little maidservant had already disappeared without a trace, and she had been walking with her head down just now, so Liu Tianjia didn't even see what the little maidservant looked like. Now even if she said that the little maidservant deliberately brought him here, she couldn't find any witnesses.

"Sir, I'm sorry. I thought the person living here was an old friend..."

Seeing Liu Tianjia apologize again, the visitor not only did not give in, but sneered: "Miss, this is the front yard, you should stay in the backyard..."

"Ah I……"

Liu Tianjia really didn't know how to explain it.

"Son..."

The man didn't give her a chance to explain and approached her with a smile.

"Since you have come to my yard unintentionally, it can be considered that we are destined to meet. Why don't you come to my house and have a cup of tea with me?"

"This……"

Liu Tianjia instinctively wanted to say that the two of them were not familiar with each other and the best way was to separate directly, but when her eyes fell on the luxurious courtyard, she suddenly changed her mind.

Liu Tianjia had met Gu Jinyun before and knew that he was not his brother-in-law. The young men who could live in the Marquis' Mansion were most likely the young masters of the Mansion.

Compared to those ordinary families, the Marquis' Mansion is definitely a good choice.

Even if the person in front of him is not the son of the Hou family, he is at least someone in the Marquis's mansion. If he marries such a person, although his status cannot compare with that of Liu Tianshu, the legitimate daughter, it will definitely be higher than that of Liu Tian'ai, who is someone else's concubine.

Thinking of this, Liu Tianjia was no longer in a hurry to leave and agreed with a smile.

It was unreasonable for a single man and a single woman to be alone in a room, and the other party did it on purpose. After Liu Tianjia entered the room, the young man said he had something to talk to her alone.

It was a rare opportunity for Liu Tianjia to meet someone she liked, so she naturally would not miss this opportunity. Without giving the maids around her a chance to refuse, she directly ordered them to wait outside.

Faced with their mistress's order, the two maids wanted to object, but Liu Tianjia had already followed the young man into the room.

The moment Liu Tianjia walked in, two little maids were invited to the next room to drink tea and eat snacks.

In order to attend the banquet today, the master Liu Tianjia did not have breakfast, and the two little maids had no chance to eat breakfast either. They were already thirsty and hungry by now.

When they heard that there would be tea and snacks available, the two of them no longer cared about Miss Liu Tianjia and happily followed a little maid into the house.

Three cups of tea and four plates of exquisite snacks were already prepared in the room.

Seeing the food, the two maids no longer cared about their reserve, and without the maid saying anything, they couldn't wait to pick up the pastries on the table and start eating.

Seeing the two maids' impatient looks, a mocking smile flashed in the maid's eyes, but she only warmly treated them to tea.

It would be too choking to eat just the snacks, so the two maids couldn't wait to take the tea and drink it.

After a cup of tea, both of them felt drowsy.

"Miss……"

Realizing that something was wrong, the two maids instinctively wanted to put down their teacups and leave, but they didn't expect that as soon as they stood up, they fell headfirst onto the table...
