**********

Zhao Feizhou was a strapping young man and could have never anticipated that he would be belittled by Jiang Ruan today. At that moment, he felt rather disgruntled. Meanwhile, Jiang Ruan instructed Tian Zhu to deposit Guo Meng at the side of an artificial mountain by the pond. As Tian Zhu went about her task, she did not spare any effort in doing so, thus Guo Meng's head bumped into the artificial mountain and soon thereafter a trickle of blood flowed down.

Although those present were momentarily startled, no one obstructed. As a norm, Zhao Jin utterly loathed anyone who would stab another in the back, as did Zhao Feizhou. Tian Zhu took out a porcelain bottle from her robe and waved it in front of Guo Meng's nose before standing up to announce, "Miss, she will not awaken for four hours."

Zhao Feizhou scrutinized Guo Meng for any movement and was rather perplexed, "Even your maidservant knows martial arts? Where did you find her?" Zhao Feizhou was himself trained in the martial arts so it was obvious that he could make out that Tian Zhu's technique was not at all inferior.

Jiang Ruan looked in the distance when Lu Zhu, who had been sent to spread the news, came running back in haste, "Miss, Xia family's two madames and a few other furens are heading over here."

Of course it would be the Xia family. Jiang Ruan's eyes shone, "That's good, let us go elsewhere to avoid them."

Just as she was done speaking, a group of people had just entered the forest and were led by the Senior Provincial Officer's Furen. Shen Rou was engaging her in conversation while Yu Ya's eyes were scrutinizing the middle of the forest as if she was searching for something.

A maidservant of Yu Ya was walking at the front of the group before suddenly exclaiming in surprise, "It looks like there is someone over there!"

The furens' correspondingly shared the same flabbergasted expression- it sounded as if the maidservant had chanced upon something that was too embarrassing for words. A glint of delight flashed in Yu Ya's eyes but she admonished in a serious manner, "Why are you calling out so irresponsibly, don't you even know the proper etiquette?"

"Second Madame Xia, don't be so quick to admonish the maidservant," Senior Provincial Officer's Furen patted her on the arm as she turned to question the maidservant, "What's the matter? Why are you making such a big fuss over merely spotting someone?"

The maidservant hesitated but then said nothing, only lowering her head. Upon seeing her expression, the furens couldn't help their suspicion nor hold back from making wild guesses in their hearts. The Golden Chrysanthemum Banquet was held especially for young ladies and gentlemen to mingle and should there be anyone they found outstanding, secretly.... Generally speaking, most people were delighted to see such excitement, especially those from any young ladies' family. However, the furens were still worried about their family's young lady or gentleman being entangled or implicated in such incidents. As such, they were in a conundrum as they were caught between a rock and a hard place.

On seeing the impasse, Yu Ya continued, "This maidservant is getting more and more insolent, I will go take a look to find out what has caused her to be this excited." Then, after speaking she took the initiative to head forward.

With Yu Ya taking the lead, the other furens had no reason to linger behind and followed in succession. Shen Rou swept a thoughtful look at Yu Ya. Then the corners of her lips stretched out to reveal a smile showing great delight.

However, when everyone walked to the front, they were shocked by the sight in front of them. They saw a female reclining on the artificial mountain by the pond, her attire still appropriate and intact. It was just that there was a blood stain on her forehead, and she presented a shocking and ghastly sight.
