”Big sister Su.”

The youth looked at her with a smile on his face and his eyes blossomed.

”Big sister Su,” she called out as if she had been waiting for a long time.

Su Zhi looked at him in surprise and replied blankly, ”You're calling me?”

However, the problem was that she had never met this young man before. How would she know that her surname was Su?

In response to her surprise, the youth slowly stood up and was supported by the guards to walk two steps forward.

”Oh, maybe I was wrong. I'm so sorry.”

He looked at Su Zhi closely and shook his head as if he had just realized something. ”Recently, I always dream of an old friend. Miss looks too similar to her, and I apologize for being careless.”

So she had recognized the wrong person. Su Zhi nodded in understanding and smiled indifferently, ”It's alright. To be honest, I feel like I've met young master before.”

The youth raised his eyebrows and looked at her with interest. The smile in his eyes had a layer of darkness that others couldn't see.

If he misunderstood her, he could just say it out loud. Su Zhi bent her knees and bid him farewell, then waved her hand and walked back the way she had come.

”You see, those who should come back, will come back sooner or later.” The youth looked at the distant figure as he faintly said.

”Your Highness, you just called this woman …”

”Yes, that's right. She's back.”

The swordsman guard's face changed drastically as he lowered his voice, ”Since that's the case, Your Highness only needs to say one word, and Subordinate will ensure that she will never return.”

The teenager shook his head with a faint smile. He put the back of his jade-white hand against his lips and coughed gently. Then, he put his hand down and quietly wiped away the bright red light. ”No, she should have come back long ago. I've been waiting for her for a long time.”

He looked at the empty courtyard with a complicated expression.

After walking around in circles for a long time, Su Zhi finally walked out of the courtyard and arrived at the front hall.

She thought to herself: I wonder if I'll be able to find Liu Yuan after this stroll.

The woman had originally planned to meet with Xiao Qian, but she decided against it. Anyway, this man would go to Spring Leaf Lane every night, it didn't matter whether he saw or not.

She followed the path out, randomly grabbed a woman dressed as a servant, and asked with a smile, ”Miss, is this the way to the front hall? I want to go see your Lord Liu. ”

The servant girl nodded, ”Yes, we'll leave from here. But right now, sire is a bit busy, I'm afraid he won't be able to leave. Madam can look around anywhere before leaving.”

”Thank you, I understand.”

After letting the young maid go, Su Zhi continued to walk forward. She passed by another small courtyard and saw that it seemed that the banquet had just begun.

She remembered that her servant who had been leading her there had explained to her that this was a banquet eaten by officials and distinguished attendants. In other words, many of the old masters and madams' servants were dining here.

Now that the banquet had dispersed, more and more servants came to look for their masters.

Su Zhi followed the crowd and walked outside. Before she could take two steps, she was stopped by someone from behind.

She staggered, almost losing her footing.

”I am truly sorry. This servant deserves to die and disturbed the young lady!”

Su Zhi steadied her feet and turned around. She saw a woman in her forties with her head lowered and eyes lowered. She was extremely apologetic, afraid that she would vent her anger on her.

”It's okay, there are so many people here, I can't blame you.”

The woman nodded her head repeatedly. ”Thank you, young lady!” As he fawned over Su Zhi, he raised his head and looked at her.

However, a sliver of fear appeared in the woman's eyes the moment she raised her head. It was as if she had met with something terrifying.

She grabbed onto Su Zhi, her hands shaking in nervousness.

”You, you're the one!”
