The maid hesitated, lowered her head, and whispered, "Why don't we invite village Lord Lu to come again? This time, bring him to the county office and say that Miss feels guilty about today's incident. When village Lord Lu arrives, let Mr. Tang and her stay in the same room. This way, even if they had ten mouths, they wouldn't be able to explain it clearly, and the official will surely give up."
Hearing this, Lu Sanzhu, who was hiding in the water, was on the verge of swearing, and his hand accidentally splashed the water's surface, making a slight noise.
However, at the same time, Xiao Shi suddenly stood up, slammed the table, and knocked over the teacups on it.
The noise masked Lu Sanzhu's movements.
"Do you know what you're saying, Shuixin?! While I may not like village Lord Lu, and I want to marry her off quickly, I will never resort to such despicable means. If she doesn't like Mr. Tang, I can introduce Mr. Li or Mr. Zhang. It will be legitimate. How dare you suggest I force that poor girl to death? Shuixin, do you think I, Xiao Ruojun, am such a person?"
Shuixin trembled in fear and quickly knelt down, "Miss, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have said such things."
"I am truly disappointed. You shall not stay in the Peach Blossom Forest today. Return to the mansion."
Shuixin shivered but didn't dare to say anything more, quickly leaving the place.
Once she was gone, Xiao Shi's face turned stern as she said to the old servant Gu Mama, "This girl cannot stay by my side any longer. If she harbors such thoughts, she must have had them for a while, and her heart is too wicked. I can't trust her."
Gu Mama nodded, "I understand. It's better to leave her in the capital under Miss He Wen's watch. Unfortunately, we can't deal with her now."
Xiao shi sat back down and rubbed her forehead, "I thought coming to Jiangyuan County would make things easier, but one trouble follows another."
Gu Mama stood behind her and massaged her temples, "Miss, although Shuixin's idea was too crude, if village Lord Lu indeed interfered knowing that the Master was married, she wouldn't be such a good girl. We wouldn't be excessive to use some methods against her."
Xiao Shi sighed, "But there's no evidence of that, and I won't forgive her if I had proof. Well, let's wait for another half month. If she lied to me and no one goes to propose a marriage with the Lu family, I will settle the score with her. She shouldn't think Xiao family's lady can be easily fooled."
Gu Mama didn't say anything further.
After a short while in the pavilion, Xiao Shi, as the host of the banquet, had to attend to her guests since Shu Yu had left. She and Gu Mama went outside.
Not long after, a young woman walked over, looked at the water, saw no one, frowned, and walked away.
It took Lu Sanzhu quite a while to swim to the bank. He struggled to climb up and stretched his body, feeling more comfortable.
Without hesitation, he hurried to change his clothes, then quickly returned and peeked from outside the Peach Blossom Forest.
The gatekeeper saw him and coldly shouted, "What are you sneaking around for? Leave quickly, or don't blame us for being impolite."
