Everyone continued on their way, heading slowly towards the greenhouse’s location.

There were two entrances to the greenhouse. They chatted and laughed as they entered through one door, while the male guests entered from the other. In this rather small greenhouse, the two groups naturally collided.

Liu Sisi raised her head, searching for Di Yelei’s figure among the crowd. Soon, she found him. He was also looking in her direction, and upon seeing that the two children were not by her side, his eyebrows furrowed even more tightly.

He seemed to say something to someone nearby, then carefully withdrew from the greenhouse and disappeared from her sight, taking her thoughts with him.

County Magistrate Su greeted Old Madam Gan, followed by a series of visitors paying their respects.

Liu Sisi stood in place like a puppet, her heart preoccupied with thoughts of the two children.

By the time she finally collected her thoughts, most of the visitors in front had dispersed.

“I heard a few days ago that Old Madam Gan has taken in a new granddaughter. It must be this Madam beside you, right? Her aura is indeed extraordinary. As a junior, I would like to congratulate Old Madam!”

“Thank you, thank you! My granddaughter has a good temperament and does not like to talk. But it is precisely because of this that she has won my heart.”

Old Madam Gan smiled with her eyes, gently patting Liu Sisi’s hand with a loving expression.

Although her patting action was light, it sent a chilly sensation through Liu Sisi’s body, causing her to recall her intention of escaping from the greenhouse. She hurriedly bent her knee and performed a courteous gesture without saying a word.

“Everyone has been so kind to this old lady. I am really happy! But the greenhouse is too small and crowded! Let’s talk at the stage area where it is more spacious.”

Old Madam Gan spoke before turning to walk outside the greenhouse.

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly echoed, “Indeed, as the Old Madam says, it is too crowded here. Why don’t we go enjoy the opera? I heard that Lord Su invited a famous actor from Jiangnan specifically to perform today. We can’t miss it!”

The voices of support from the crowd were overwhelming.

Liu Sisi held Old Madam Gan with each step feeling like walking on thin ice.

She didn’t know if Old Madam Gan intended to learn something from keeping her close, but if she continued like this, she’d drive herself crazy!

She needed to find a way to escape!

With her gaze downcast, Liu Sisi helped Old Madam Gan walk forward while secretly searching for any opportunity to escape.

The several elderly nannies and maids nearby always seemed to keep her and Old Madam Gan in the center, thwarting her intentions.

As the crowd passed through an archway, the maids and nannies naturally stopped to let Liu Sisi assist Old Madam Gan. On the other side of the archway, a maid carrying a fruit plate was waiting with her head down.

It was a golden opportunity!

Liu Sisi steeled herself, tripped over the archway, and almost dragged Old Madam Gan down with her.

“Old Madam!”

Countless panicked calls came from the side!

Liu Sisi fell forward and rolled into the maid, who instinctively tried to dodge, but Liu Sisi didn’t give her a chance!

She felt a numbness in her leg, and the fruit plate in the maid’s hand scattered onto her body, making a crisp sound as it hit the floor.
