Ren Wan Yun's eyes flashed and naturally knew Madam Jiang's intention. She smiled: "What are you talking about? Even if they are busy embroidering wedding dresses, if it's Old Madam's birthday, they will naturally come out to show filial piety. If it weren't for the two children being unfortunately ill, why wouldn't they come out to see all the ladies?"

The words were both dismissing and acknowledging, which was admitting that there was such a marriage.

The ladies present were all shrewd people who had seen a lot in the mansion. They could understand Ren Wan Yun's meaning. For a while, congratulatory words kept coming. Old Madam Ye stroked Ye Yuanbai with a kind smile on her face. It was a scene of complete harmony between the host and the guests.

In the garden of Qiushui Courtyard, there was a group of young girls at the moment. They were playing chess and leaf cards at the bluestone table, eating snacks and chatting and laughing.

"Speaking of which, Amy," Jiang Xiaoxuan said: "Your sister and sister haven't been seen until now. Could it be that they are really ill?"

"They are really ill." Ye Amy shook her head and her eyes showed a hint of worry: "Sister's illness is getting better but Sister Lily's illness is a bit serious. The rashes on her face even infected several of the maids around her. Well," She lowered her head: "When you came today, I'm afraid you didn't even see the maids around them, right?"

"No wonder." Bai Wei suddenly understood: "There are so many people guarding outside the West Courtyard and no one came out. I guess the servants in those courtyards were afraid of coming out and infecting others."

"That's exactly the reason." Ye Amy said.

Yi Peilan touched her shoulders and shivered: "It's so scary. Don't infect us."

"Don't worry." Ye Amy smiled: "As long as you don't go to the West Courtyard, you will naturally be safe. Look, I haven't been infected either, have I?"

"Being with such a sister, you are really broad-minded." Yi Peilan curled her lips: "Why is Ye Lily like a disaster star? There are always such things happening."

On the other side, the anger in Feng Anning's eyes flashed. She forcibly suppressed it and scolded in a low voice: "I don't know if this is making people hate Ye Lily or making people hate her. It's really pretentious."

What she said was naturally Ye Amy.

Qin Qing, who was sitting opposite Feng Anning, snorted coldly. Her face was still haughty. But looking at Ye Amy's eyes, she was also very contemptuous.

The two of them, Feng Anning was now on good terms with Ye Lily and was excluded by Ye Amy. As for Qin Qing, she was beautiful and had a haughty temperament. She was originally a rival of Ye Amy in Guangwen Hall. Today, it was Ye Amy who greeted the daughters. Qin Qing was naturally ignored. So these two, by chance, could also sit together.

"Who knows if they are really ill." Qin Qing had never concealed her contempt for Ye Amy. When Feng Anning heard this, she immediately said: "So you think so too. Let's go and see Ye Lily."

"I have no friendship with her. If you want to go, go by yourself." Qin Qing refused without hesitation and added: "But now no one is allowed to enter the West Courtyard of the Ye Mansion. I'm afraid of being infected with rashes. I think you can't get in either."

"Why is it like this?" Feng Anning was indignant: "They are all granddaughters of the Ye family. Why can't Ye Lily also participate in Old Madam Ye's birthday? Locking a person in the West Courtyard is no different from being in prison?"

"It's better for you not to care about other people's affairs." Qin Qing glanced at Feng Anning: "It has nothing to do with you and me anyway."

Feng Anning unwillingly bit her lip but couldn't say anything. She could only glare angrily at Ye Amy, who was surrounded and chatting happily by everyone over there.

But no one saw that in the shade of the tree, a figure flashed and quickly disappeared among the flowers.

The northwest corner of the Ye Mansion was a deserted courtyard. Because of the bad terrain and many weeds growing, it was directly abandoned. Except for the occasional birds flying over and wild cats perching, no one usually came.

Today, there were several people standing under the wall.

The person at the head stood with his back to the garden, crossing his arms and not knowing what he was thinking. Someone behind him said: "Master, when your subordinate passed by the East Courtyard of the Ye Mansion, I heard that there were people guarding the West Courtyard."

Another person said: "Your subordinate has already investigated. There are only people guarding outside the West Courtyard. The guards are not here. But outside the ancestral hall of the Ye Mansion, there are many experts guarding. Could it be..."

"Create a diversion." The person turned his head and revealed a handsome face: "The thing is in the ancestral hall of the Ye Mansion."
