Lucky Farmer Girl: I rely on metaphysics to support my family

The Duke of Anguo's surname was Liu. With this in mind, Young Master Liu paid even closer attention to the War King's actions. Of course, he did not dare to stare directly at the man, but he would keep an eye on the War King's movements at all times.

The War King's gaze swept casually over the waterside pavilion.

He seemed to linger on the ladies for a moment before leaving.

Although the War King thought he had left no trace, he was still noticed by the meticulous young master Liu, the eldest grandson of the Duke of Anguo.

Although he wasn't sure who the War King was specifically focused on, this Young Master Liu still decided to lead the War King in that direction.

At this moment, Tang Wan and Tang Jing were speaking in hushed tones with a young lady from the Duke of Anguo's mansion.

The flower-viewing banquet did not have large tables. Instead, small tables were scattered around the waterside pavilions, winding corridors, and under the flowering trees, with exquisite tea, snacks, and fruits on them. Guests could gather in small groups to chat, admire the flowers, and enjoy tea, which looked quite casual and relaxed, perfectly matching the theme.

Young Master Liu led the War King through the small groups of people chatting casually, seemingly at ease, but with a very clear direction.

The War King noticed Young Master Liu's behavior and was pleased with it, so he did not stop him.

Beside a few willow trees near the waterside pavilion, Tang Wan and Miss Liu Si were talking in hushed tones.

She listened attentively to Miss Liu's words with a slight, polite smile playing on her lips, her demeanor elegant and natural.

Young Master Liu slowed his pace a few steps away and called out with a laugh, "Fourth Sister, so you've been here all along! I've been looking for you."

He greeted his younger sister first, then, as if only just noticing Tang Wan and her sister, politely cupped his hands and asked, "And who are these two?"

Upon hearing this, Miss Liu quickly smiled and introduced, "Third Brother, Your Highness the Prince of War, these two are the young ladies from Minister Tang's household. This is the eldest young lady, and this is the second young lady."

Although it was just the three of them asking questions, seeing His Highness the War King in front of them, they still gave a formal introduction.

Today, my grandmother asked me to take good care of the two young ladies from the Tang family. Although she didn't explain in detail, my mother guessed that my grandmother had a purpose for this flower banquet, which might be related to the two young ladies from the Tang family.

It seems they've taken a liking to Miss Tang, but it's unclear who it's chosen for.

Tang Shu and Tang Wan turned around upon hearing the sound. They were slightly taken aback when they saw Young Master Liu and the War King beside him, whose face was cold and imposing. They then bowed their heads and knelt in accordance with etiquette.

Then Miss Liu introduced the Tang sisters: "This is my third brother, and this is His Highness the War King."

Upon hearing his younger sister's introduction, Young Master Liu quickly smiled and bowed, saying, "So you are the daughter of Minister Tang. My name is Liu Wenjin. Greetings."

When the War King heard that Young Master Liu was being so familiar with everyone, he was somewhat displeased, but he didn't show it on his face. However, his gaze naturally fell on the Tang sisters, especially Tang Wan.

Upon hearing Miss Liu's introduction, the War King nodded slightly, his voice low but steady as usual: "Miss Tang."

"Greetings, Your Highness, Young Master Liu," Tang Wan and Tang Jing greeted in unison.

After exchanging greetings, Tang Jing and Tang Wan remained silent. After all, to them, the two men in front of them were men from outside the family, and there were other people around, so they couldn't say too much.

Seeing this, Young Master Liu, fearing an awkward silence, smiled and said, "Just now, we were discussing the cultivation of those few Cymbidium orchids with the Prince. The Prince is knowledgeable and insightful. Fourth Sister, you young ladies are meticulous, so you must have unique insights into the flowers and plants in this garden, right?"

Upon hearing this, Miss Liu smiled and replied, "Third Brother is testing us again. We only think it looks pretty; how can we compare to the knowledge of the Prince and my brothers?" The siblings exchanged a few words and were just about to steer the conversation toward the Tang sisters when they heard the Prince of War say to Young Master Liu, "It seems someone is looking for you over there."

Young Master Liu looked up and indeed saw a servant peering out from under the eaves in the distance, as if he had something to report.

He quickly apologized, nodded to Miss Liu and the Tang sisters, and hurriedly left.

After Young Master Liu left, it was not appropriate for the War King to be alone with the unmarried ladies. He glanced at Tang Wan and said, "Ladies, please continue to enjoy the flowers. I shall take my leave now."

After saying that, he nodded slightly to Tang Wan and headed towards Young Master Liu's direction.

He was worried about the girl he loved, but seeing that someone from the Liu family was with her put his mind at ease.

Madam Feng's considerations were very thorough.

As soon as the War King left, the girls became lively again.

Just as the girls were chatting merrily, a nanny hurried over and whispered a few words in Miss Liu's ear.

After hearing the old woman's whispers, Miss Liu tried to remain calm, but the lingering worry between her brows did not escape the eyes of Tang Jing and Tang Wan.

Tang Jing didn't intend to say much, after all, she had only just met Miss Liu. She always kept her mother's teachings in mind and was careful with her words and actions in the Duke of Anguo's mansion.

Tang Wan was relatively more relaxed. Seeing that Miss Liu seemed preoccupied, she focused her attention on Miss Liu's face. She noticed that the area around her parents' palace was faintly shrouded in a very light bluish-gray, indicating that her mother was likely to be afflicted with illness recently.

Now that the signs were clear, Tang Wan spoke up at the opportune moment, gently advising, "Sister Liu, is something wrong with Madam? If she needs you to go and take care of her, please don't let us delay you."

She was genuinely afraid that by accompanying the sisters, the fourth young lady of the Liu family would regret it later, since they were outsiders and could never compare to her own mother.

Not to mention that her appearance didn't look good, even the second mistress's personal maid wouldn't disturb her young lady's reception of guests if the situation wasn't serious.

Upon hearing Tang Wan's words, Miss Liu's face flashed with a struggle. She bit her lower lip and said, "Mother felt unwell this morning. I thought she would be fine after resting, but just now, the nanny said that she is feeling worse and is experiencing severe dizziness and palpitations..."

As Miss Liu spoke, her eyes reddened, but she still said, "Grandmother told me to treat the guests well today. I'm really worried about them, but I can't leave my two older sisters here."

Tang Wan and her sister Tang Jing exchanged a glance, and Tang Jing also showed concern.

Tang Wan gently held Liu Si's hand and whispered, "There are priorities. Taking care of your mother is a matter of course. The old lady is kind and loving. If she knew the truth, she would not blame you."

Although Tang Wan's words made some sense, Miss Liu still hesitated.

Seeing this, Tang Wan said in an even gentler tone, "My sister and I are not outsiders. If you don't mind, how about we go with you to take a look? Firstly, it would be a way for you to show hospitality, and secondly, perhaps we can be of some help."

In this sense, it's a win-win situation.

Miss Liu was in a state of utter confusion when she heard that Tang Wan was willing to go with her. This way, she could take care of her mother without completely abandoning her guests. After a moment's thought, she said, "In that case, I really have to trouble you two sisters. I'm just afraid that I might pass on my illness to you."

Tang Jing and Tang Wan exchanged a glance and smiled slightly, saying, "It's alright, don't keep Madam waiting. I'll be right back!" (End of Chapter)
