    When Li Xiaoran heard this, she was stunned.


    “That’s what I just did!”


    When the Eldest Princess heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she couldn’t help but shake her head with a smile.


    “You looked so provocative when you stood there just now and looked like you wanted to teach them a lesson!”


    As Li Xiaoran recalled carefully, she remembered that she really had that kind of mentality and couldn’t help but reveal her intimidating aura at that time.


    When Shu Ruyue heard what the Eldest Princess said, sheughed too.


    “That’s right. Xiaoran, you don’t know, but when you walked into the courtyard just now, you looked very much like me whenever I challenged experts. You looked like you were asking for a beating! ”


    When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately rolled her eyes at Shu Ruyue. “Whose side are you on? Are we still gonna be friends or not?”


    “I’m telling the truth, but you won’t let me say it!” Shu Ruyue wasn’t afraid of Li


    Xiaoran anymore and continued to tease with a smile.


    When Li Xiaoran thought of her previous state, sheughed.


    After the Eldest Princess’s reminder, Li Xiaoran calmed down and was no longer as anxious as before.


    “Hey, Ruyue, you didn’t notice where Meng Yan went? Who’s the man she’s been thinking about? I’ve been looking around this farmstead for a long time, but I only saw a group of women. Do you think Meng Yan can find her man?” Li Xiaoran thought of something and asked.


    Shu Ruyue looked in a certain direction and said, “I saw Meng Yan walking in that direction previously. I wonder what that ce is!”


    “That is where the men are ying chess. There is a forest over and a stream there. It is a good ce to drink tea and fish in the hot summer!” The Eldest Princess looked in that direction as she replied.


    “There are still many people over there? That ce is also a part of the farmstead?” Li Xiaoran asked curiously.


    “Of course. Otherwise, why would it be called a farmstead?! This farmstead is divided into two halves by ake. One half is for women, and the other half is for men!” The Eldest Princess exined.


    “Then will they have a chance to interact with each other?” Li Xiaoran thought of what Meng Yan had said previously and asked.


    “Of course. At noon, theke water in this farmstead will be diverted. Then, the stone bridge and arge empty space in theke will be revealed. After two hours, theke water will rise again and submerge those stone bridges and empty space again!” The Eldest Princess revealed the uniqueness of this farmstead.


    “No wonder the Flower Banquet was arranged here. So it’s because there’s such a special ce!” Li Xiaoran nodded in realization.


    At this moment, exmations sounded.


    “Look, look, there’s movement in theke A voice came from the crowd.


    Hearing this, the Eldest Princess smiled.


    “Why don’t you go take a look too?! There’s already movement in theke. You can also take a look!”


    Li Xiaoran thought about it for a moment. Since she was already here, she naturally had to go and take a look.


    Therefore, Li Xiaoran nodded. After bowing, she went to theke with Shu Ruyue to take a look.


    Li Xiaoran didn’t go to a crowded ce. Instead, she walked towards a less


    crowded ce.


    Strangely, there was a ce that was clearly very empty. Other than a woman standing there, there was no one else around.


    Although Li Xiaoran was a little puzzled, she still walked over.


    As expected, theke water began to stir, and many fish in theke began to jump.


    The fish jumping in theke and the water sshing were a beautiful scenery.


    Seeing this, Li Xiaoran couldn’t help but marvel.


    “I really didn’t expect thiske to be so marvelous! It contains the wisdom of countless craftsmen!”


    “It’s just that every time these craftsmen make such works of art, their lives will be sacrificed! The craftsmen probably dedicated their entire lives to these works of art,” A meek woman said.


    Li Xiaoran saw the woman standing at the side while staring at theke.


    The woman in front of them was leaning against the fence weakly. It was clearly warm, but she was still wearing a cloak.


    Upon closer inspection, his forehead and nose were covered in ayer of sweat.


    “Since you’re so hot, why don’t you take off your cloak?” Li Xiaoran asked curiously.


    When the woman heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she turned around and smiled self-deprecatingly.


    “It seems that you don’t know who I am?”


    “Of course I don’t know. I’m just a girl from the countryside. I haven’t been in the capital for long, so I don’t know many people!” Li Xiaoran said.


    The woman seemed to know who Li Xiaoran was, so when she heard Li


    Xiaoran’s words, she didn’t look disdainful. Instead, she was very envious.


    “To be honest, I don’t believe you. If possible, I’m willing to be a girl from the countryside, so at least I can go around and take a look!”


    “What’s so difficult about that? The world outside is vast, and the culture and customs are different everywhere. If you want to take a look, go ahead!” Li Xiaoran said.


    “I can’t go. I can’t even go outside to get a breather. I’m so weak that if I’m not careful, I’ll fall ill! Can’t you see that the others are all staying far away from me now? They’re afraid that I’ll suddenly fall ill and my family will me them. You’d better stay away from me! Otherwise, you’ll be implicated! My family is always worried sick about me and like to vent their anger on others!” The woman reminded her kindly.


    Li Xiaoran sensed the woman’s kindness and looked at her curiously.


    “From your clothes, I don’t think you’re from an ordinary family, so why didn’t you hire a famous doctor to take a look at your body? No matter how poor your health is, as long as you recuperate well, you will gradually recover!”


    The woman shook her head when she heard this.


    “I was born with this illness. There’s no way to treat it!”


    “Born with this illness?” Li Xiaoran thought of something and asked.


    “Yes!” The woman just said yes softly.


    Li Xiaoran recalled some of the illnesses she had read about in the modern world previously. For many congenital illnesses, people only needed to undergo surgery to repair some of the missing parts and cut off all the unnecessary parts. However, to have a congenital illness in this time and space was undoubtedly like having a terminal illness!


    With that, the woman turned pale and could barely breathe.


    Seeing that something was wrong, Li Xiaoran quickly ran over and supported her before she fell to the ground..
