At the next table sat a few people dressed like scholars, whispering to each other.

"Have you heard? A few nights ago, Miss Tang and Young Master Wan agreed to elope together, but Young Master Wan did not go, only Miss Tang went. Guess what happened?"

"What's the matter? Tell me quickly."

"Miss Tang was raped. Later, Miss Tang couldn't stand the trauma and committed suicide by jumping into the river."

"Is this true? Is Miss Tang dead?"

"He's dead. The Tang family didn't release the news to save face, but the news still leaked out."

"Oh, what a pity! Miss Tang, who was both talented and beautiful, has passed away like this. Alas!"

Lin Dai and An Jiu heard the gossip clearly at the side. It would be a pity if it was really as that person said.

"Oh, love?" Lin Dai stood up: "Anjiu, let's go, we can't come here in vain."

"it is good."

The two of them walked along the lake and admired the chrysanthemums. It was almost the end of November and the weather was already a bit cool.

A breeze blew, and the chrysanthemums swayed gently, emitting a faint fragrance, and waves appeared on the surface of the lake.

Lin Dai stood on a stone, opened her arms, and breathed the fresh air quietly, but she didn't know that she was also a scene in the eyes of some people.

Wan Youhua, who was standing not far away and chatting happily with his friends, was amazed when he saw this scene. He pointed at Lin Dai and asked the person next to him: "Brother Zhang, do you know who the girl in purple clothes is from?"

"I don't know. I've never seen her. When did Kaifeng Prefecture have such a beautiful girl? Brother Wan, are you interested in her? But isn't she a little young? She looks about 13 or 4 years old. The girl next to her is about the same age."

"Well, she is indeed a little small, but she is almost of marriageable age. However, she is so special at such a young age. I wonder how many people she will charm when she grows up." They didn't know that Lin Dai was not even 12 years old yet. Because of the spiritual spring and cultivation, she had developed well and was now meters tall.

The people around them nodded in agreement, and when they walked towards them, everyone straightened their clothes and stood properly, but unfortunately the two ignored them.

Several people were also very dissatisfied. They had never been ignored like this before. Several people urged Wan Youhua to go and say hello. Seeing that no one took the initiative to say hello, Wan Youhua did not intend to go forward to disturb them. However, after several bad friends' instigation and what they said, he confidently walked forward to greet them: "Ladies, it is better to meet by chance than to meet in person. I am Wan Youhua, the organizer of this chrysanthemum appreciation conference. I wonder if you two would like to appreciate the chrysanthemums together."

Lin Dai glanced at the person who came and said, "I'm busy." Then she and An Jiu walked away.

Wan Youhua didn't expect this person to reject him so rudely, making him lose face in front of so many brothers. He was very upset but pretended not to care on the surface and said to others: "It seems that this girl is not free. We are not destined to be with her."

The others also knew that he didn't want to pay attention to him at all, but due to their status, they still agreed: "Yes, the weather is a bit cold today, and he must be anxious to go home."

"Then let's continue to appreciate the flowers. There are many varieties of chrysanthemums this time. Let's go." Everyone left with a smile.

After Lin Dai left, An Jiu asked Lin Dai: "Miss Lin, the man's surname was Wan, could he be the person those people in the teahouse were talking about?

"I don't know, but they should be related. The young master of the Wan family and this person with the surname Wan are also the organizers of this event. It seems that the Wan family should be a wealthy family. I just don't know who the Tang family is. But it has nothing to do with us. As long as they don't provoke us, otherwise we will give them no chance to regret it."

The two wandered to an open space and saw someone decorating a stage. They asked those people and found out that there would be a poetry competition in the evening. The two decided to go back to the inn to rest. They were tired after wandering for so long, so they came out to join in the fun in the evening.

At night, after eating at the inn, the two went out to Longting to watch the poetry meeting. When they went out, they found that there were more people on the road than during the day, and many people were heading towards Longting. It seemed that many people wanted to participate in the poetry meeting.

Lin Dai had a bad feeling at this time and wondered whether she should go to join in the fun. But then she thought of what happened at the last lantern festival in Jiangyang City and decided decisively not to go.

An Jiu was a little surprised why he didn't go, but he didn't ask any more questions.

The two walked in the opposite direction of Longting, which they had not visited during the day.

Kaifeng Prefecture is also very beautiful at night. Although it is not Longting, there are many chrysanthemum decorations on the streets and lanterns hanging everywhere, and the scenery is also unique.

As they walked, they came to a remote place with few people, and they were ready to go back. Suddenly, Lin Dai smelled smoke, something was burning, and An Jiu also smelled it. They were afraid that the lantern was blown down by the wind and burned, so they walked towards the direction of the smoke to prevent fire.

When they reached a small river, they found a girl burning paper. She cried and said, "Miss, Lian'er is here to see you. Today is your seventh day. I'm here to see you off. I hope you can be born into a good family in your next life."

Lin Dai watched for a while and was about to leave for fear of disturbing others, but she still heard the girl named Xiaolian say, "Miss, I feel sorry for you. If you die, how could that man do such a thing and act as if nothing happened and still live well? Don't worry, I will avenge you. I want everyone to see the true face of Wan Youhua."

Wan Youhua? Lin Dai and An Jiu looked at each other and understood what was going on, but they said nothing and walked away.

The two returned to the inn. Seeing that An Jiu wanted to say something but didn't know how to start, Lin Dai gestured to her to say whatever she wanted.

"Miss Lin, do you know about Wan Youhua's matter?"

"I don't know, but based on what I saw today I should be able to guess roughly. What happened?"

"It seems that Miss Lin knows everything before, so I want to ask if Miss Lin knows about the matter between Miss Tang and Young Master Wan that is being talked about outside."

"Let me put it this way, if I want to know something, I will know it, and if I don't want to know something, I won't know it." That's right, if you want to know something, just let the system check it, and if it's something you're not interested in, you don't need to let the system check it.

"What does Miss Lin think about this?"

"How can you see it? Just use your eyes. Okay, it's getting late, let's go back to the room and get some rest."

"Okay, then Miss Lin, go to rest."

After a good night's sleep, Lin Dai did not go out in the morning. After all, the weather was cold now. She planned to drink tea, chat and rest in the room, and then go out shopping for clothes in the afternoon.

She really didn't check the almanac before going out. She met Wan Youhua as soon as she went out in the afternoon. Lin Dai pretended not to see him and walked away, hoping that he had self-awareness, but it was obvious that he didn't.

Ever since Lin Dai and her friends made Wan Youhua lose face in front of his friends last time, he wanted to redeem himself when they met by chance this time: "Ladies, we are really destined to meet. I wonder where you two are going. Would you be so kind as to have a cup of tea with me?"

Lin Dai was about to walk past him, but Wan Youhua stopped her and pretended not to know what was going on, saying, "You two are from other places, right? Did you attend the poetry writing competition at Longting last night?"

"No, please move aside, sir. We have something else to do." Knowing that Lin Dai didn't want to pay attention to him, An Jiu answered.

Wan Youhua and the person next to him exchanged a glance, and that person quickly understood what he meant: "Oh, that's a pity. Last night's poetry competition was so exciting. Our brother Wan was so talented that he defeated all the talented men and beautiful women and won the championship."

"No, no, thank you all for your compliments." Although Wan Youhua was talking to the people next to him, he glanced at Lin Dai and the others, feeling very proud.

"Please move aside. If you want to talk, don't block the road, you're in the way." Lin Dai was getting a little impatient. If she continued to provoke him, she didn't know whether he would attack her. At this time, some ordinary people were already watching the fun. Lin Dai quickly walked around them and left.

A few people were left looking at each other in bewilderment. Wan Youhua snorted, "You don't know how to appreciate a favor." Others also echoed, saying that Lin Dai and the others were ungrateful.

Lin Dai and An Jiu walked for a while and saw Wan Youhua and his friends leaving. Lin Dai approached An Jiu and asked quietly, "Did you see that girl just now? She was hiding in the corner and peeking."

"Well, I noticed it. It was the girl named Xiaolian from last night."

"She didn't look at Wan Youhua in a good light at the time. I'm afraid something bad might happen. You go and take a look. I'll go shopping by myself."

"Ok."

Lin Dai sighed. She didn’t want to get involved, but it just happened that she always ran into her. Was she meddling in other people’s business?
