This banquet will be held for three or four days.
With so many young boys and girls feasting and playing on the mountain during the banquet if, by any chance, a Ming family’s daughter and a certain Junwang got into trouble Old Madam Ming might vomit blood.

Ming Huazhang cupped his hands in acceptance.
His eyes swept over Ming Huashang, and he did not try to hide his disapproval, “Thank you for grandmother’s reminder.
But going together…”

Ming Huashang raised her head subconsciously, meeting Ming Huazhang’s eyes.

Not bad, Ming Huazhang lived up to his jade young master reputation, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, a high nose bridge, and slightly pursed lips.
He had a very outstanding appearance.
But at this moment, his eyes were filled with scrutiny and criticism, like a ball of snow that was hard to please.
He made people feel that his being arrogant and disinterested was how he ought to be.

The eyes from the dream suddenly flashed across Ming Huashang’s mind.

At that time, he still looked cold and alienated like he did now, but when everyone was pointing at her, he was the only one who stood out and told Duke Zhen who insisted on driving her away, “She didn’t do anything wrong.
The fault with the Su’s has nothing to do with her.
How can a helpless girl like her protect herself outside, just let her stay in the Duke manor.”

Ming Huashang felt that just based on what he said, she was willing to believe that he was not the one who killed her.
Just before the words of refusal were about to come out his mouth, Ming Huashang suddenly interrupted Ming Huazhang, “I want to go to the Feihong banquet to gain some experience, can second elder brother take me with you?”

Ming Huashang was traumatized now, she didn’t know who wanted to kill her, and she didn’t know how she died, so she couldn’t help but start to examine everyone around her.

The second branch was concubine born, their status was lower, yet they were proud and arrogant and looked down on her as they found her useless.
The third branch was the youngest son of Old Madam Ming, and he was very favored.
Ming Shuo’s upbringing since she was a child made her arrogant and indulgent, she wanted the best of everything.
Even though Ming Huashang was laid-back, she couldn’t avoid having several conflicts with Ming Shuo.

Before the dream, Ming Huashang only felt that it was expected, it was normal for a family to have quarrels.
But now, the once innocuous quarrel has now become a murderous motive.
The second aunt, third aunt, eldest sister, third younger sister, and those few cousins, it was as if each of them could be a possible murderer.

There were also servants and stewards of the Duke manor… without thinking about it carefully, Ming Huashang originally felt that she had great relations with others, but now, she was surprised to realize that she seemed to have offended many people.

Inside this huge manor, Ming Huashang could only trust Ming Huazhang.
These days, Duke Zhen was away suppressing the bandits and had yet to return, and Ming Huazhang was going to attend the banquet, how could Ming Huashang dare to stay in the manor alone?

Even if she had to climb mountains of swords and enter seas of flames6, she had to go out with Ming Huazhang!
