The girl walked slowly into a side room and walked around the screen. She saw the lady talking to a woman with a smile. When she saw them, she greeted them.

"Quick, pay your respects to Princess Fushan."

Princess Fushan... we meet again.

Her breathing also became slightly hot as her heartbeat quickened. She bowed with her brows lowered as she saluted a middle-aged woman sitting under the window.

"Your humble servant...pays respects to Princess Fushan."

Then, a soft voice was heard, slowly saying, "Stand up and take a seat."

The maid brought a stool for the two to sit on. Ruan Yuluan felt a sticky gaze falling on her, looking her over and over again.

Her face involuntarily turned a little paler, but fortunately the maid brought her hot tea. She took a sip gently to hide her trembling.

He raised his eyes and looked at the woman.

She was wearing a crimson brocade skirt with auspicious cloud and colorful patterns. She was a little plump, and her black hair was combed into a high bun. In the bun were two long hairpins inlaid with gold and rubies, which were round and smooth, and looked very noble.

Like King Fushan, she had a pair of shrewd fox eyes. At this moment, they were slightly narrowed, and her eyes were deep and unpredictable.

"Mrs. Ruan, your fifth daughter... looks like a flower budding on a branch, about to bloom..."

The wife quickly agreed, "Yes, the Fifth Lady is indeed one of the most beautiful among the sisters..."

This kind of conversation is no different from that of a brothel's madam selecting men.

Ruan Yuluan couldn't help but feel sick, but she didn't show it on her face until she heard a noise outside the door. Xia Yue seemed to be trying to persuade someone helplessly.

Ji frowned quickly, and the girl turned her eyes to Qiu Xiu who was standing in the corner. The latter understood and quietly went out.

Soon, Qiu Xiu exclaimed, "Fourth Madam, there is a distinguished guest inside!" A peach-pink figure walked around the screen and came in. It was Ruan Yuxi who had rushed over.

Sanniang looked at Ruan Yuluan. The latter was pretending, but the former was genuinely surprised.

The fourth lady is still under house arrest...how did she escape right under the Madam's nose?

Ji's expression faded a bit, but there was anger burning in his eyes, which he barely suppressed.

"Xi Niang, why are you here?"

Ruan Yuxi first glanced at Princess Fushan, then she restrained herself a little and bowed softly.

"Madam is partial." The girl's pretty face showed dissatisfaction, and she said coquettishly, "Why are you only letting my fifth and third sisters meet the distinguished guests? I am also your father's daughter... Does Madam hate me so much?"

Princess Fushan was somewhat amazed by her appearance, and when she heard her say this, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Ji's joke.

Stupid, stupid!

For a family like theirs, the most important thing is face. The intrigues in the inner house should never be told to outsiders. Ji's anger was boiling, but she suppressed it with a forced smile.

"What are you talking about, Xi Niang? You've been sick recently, and I didn't call you because I was afraid you'd be tired, didn't I?"

The fourth lady curled her lips, but ultimately did not expose her paper lie.

"My daughter's illness has completely healed," she said with a smile as she glanced at the remaining two sisters, "How could you not invite me to meet such an honored guest as Princess Fushan?"

She stared at Ruan Yuluan: "Don't you think so, Fifth Sister?"

The girl suppressed the smile on her lips and nodded gently: "It will be more lively if the fourth sister comes too."

She couldn't wait... to see how this wonderful show unfolded.
