After I stopped being a lady from a rich family, I fought all over the capital

Chapter 273 When you have nothing to do, you should enjoy the flowers.

"I've long heard that Changsheng Temple is a great place for spring outings, with hundreds of flowers blooming in spring. There's also a century-old peony planted inside the temple, which is well worth seeing."

Tan Ci assumed that Song Lan's words indicated that she intended to go.

But thinking about it, I feel that the Xue family really doesn't respect people.

Although she had her own selfish motives, she hoped that Song Lan could go to the banquet with Su Xianyun, so as to protect Su Xianyun's safe return and also to investigate whether there was anything suspicious about the Xue family.

But when Song Lan actually agreed to go, Tan Ci felt that it was too unfair to her.

This also fueled the arrogance of the Xue family, making them think that everyone fawned over them.

Song Lan smiled faintly, as if she could see her dilemma: "I have no dealings with the Xue family and can't establish any relationship with them, so I won't rush to join in their fun."

Tan Ci breathed a sigh of relief.

But then she thought, if Song Lan didn't go, she couldn't just let her daughter take the risk in order to investigate the Xue family.

We've finally managed to wake up, but what if something happens to her because of my negligence...?

Tan Ci dared not think about it.

"However, with such a beautiful spring day, we can't just stay at home and waste the time."

Song Lan said in a calm voice, "If you have nothing to do, it would be nice to stay at Changsheng Temple for a couple of days, relax, and enjoy the flowers."

Tan Ci was slightly taken aback.

"Then..." she wanted to ask whether Su Xianyun should attend the banquet hosted by the Xue family.

She also felt that asking Song Lan about such matters might annoy people.

"If Madam Tan wants Miss Su to go, then let her go; if she doesn't want her to go, then she won't let her go."

Song Lan chuckled: "Or perhaps, such matters are ultimately a matter of social interaction for young ladies. Putting aside the need to consider the sake of their parents or family, it should be decided by Miss Su herself!"

What does Madam Tan think?

This is preventing Tan Ci from making decisions on her own and turning a blind eye. She should have asked Su Xianyun if she was willing.

Most of the social interactions among women in the inner quarters were aimed at strengthening the relationship between the two families and providing support to the men who were out in the world. The rest were interactions that came from the heart.

Putting aside any self-interest, Su Xianyun might not even want to have much contact with Xue Wan.
"Since Madam Tan suspects something amiss with the Xue family, why doesn't she inquire about the families that Xue Wan has been inviting to her poetry and flower gatherings over the years?"

"Since we're all in the capital, many things aren't exactly secrets."

Song Lan raised an eyebrow, kindly reminding Tan Ci, who was already thinking too far ahead.

Tan Ci was slightly taken aback.

Could it be that there's something wrong with the person Xue Wan invited?
She hadn't interacted with the ladies of the capital for a long time, so she was even less likely to pay attention to flower shows organized by younger generations like Xue Wan.

Listening to Song Lan's words now, it seems as if she has overcomplicated things.

The real answer lies in the riddle itself. The answer she wants doesn't require asking Song Lan at all; she only needs to inquire about Xue Wan's movements over the years.

"Madam, shouldn't you be even more curious about why Xue Wan found out so quickly that Lady Su had regained consciousness?"

Song Lan gave another reminder.

Tan Ci was surprised. She was indeed puzzled as to why Xue Wan knew that Su Xianyun had woken up and even sent an invitation.

Xue Wan's idea of ​​organizing a gathering to enjoy flowers and vegetarian food at Changsheng Temple was not something she had just started thinking about now.

In previous years, we have held many such flower shows and poetry gatherings.

If it were in the past, Xue Wan would have routinely sent invitations to her door, so this invitation wouldn't have been anything unusual.

However, Xue Wan had never sent an invitation to the Su family before.

The Su family and the Xue family have never had any social interactions.

The sudden invitation to Su Xianyun was not only abrupt, but also too coincidental.

and so--

Tan Ci suddenly realized something and her eyes widened.
