Aunt Xiao, who was standing beside her, naturally had no objections, and the two of them left the house one after the other.
As they walked across the spacious courtyard, before they could even reach the gate, they already heard some chattering sounds from afar.
Some people were pointing and whispering about Su Ping'er.
Su Pan'er stood under the hibiscus tree by the edge of the lotus pond, peering outwards.
Su Ping'er knelt there with dignity and silence, her back straightened.
The maidservant behind her had turned red, seeming very flustered and anxious.
Su Pan'er chuckled and turned to give Aunt Xiao instructions.
"You go drive those people away."
Having said this, she turned and left. Today she wanted to see what clever game Su Ping'er was playing.
The heavy wooden gate of the Qin Mansion creaked open at last!
Both Su Ping'er and the gawkers looked towards the gate with anticipation.
But the only person to appear in the doorway was Aunt Xiao!
