The talented girls, only Ye Cindy is a little mediocre. But she has a son. Ye Qiu is following Ye Xin now. In the future, he will surely compete for the family property with Ye Yuanbai. But now, isn't Ye Lily still at the mercy of others? When her haughty sister-in-law finds out that her daughter has done such a disgraceful thing, will she protect Ye Lily? Or will she give Ye Lily a white silk rope.

Thinking like this, the panic in Ren Wanyun's heart eased a little. She looked at the sky, "I'll rest for a while."

Xiang Lan and Cai Ju saw that she was finally willing to rest and couldn't help showing joy. They hurriedly helped Ren Wanyun lie down on the bed and said, "Madam, rest well. You need to be energetic tomorrow."

"Yes." Ren Wanyun murmured, "I need to be energetic tomorrow." After all, the wonderful show tomorrow needs her to personally finish it.

...

The rain lasted the whole night.

In the quiet mountain forest, after the rain stopped, everything withered. The autumn rain made it even more chilly. The air was filled with a moist fragrance. Early in the morning, the monk who rings the bell in the temple began to ring the bell.

The dull bell woke up the sleeping people. Ren Wanyun opened her eyes. She slept very restlessly this night and always had nightmares. She didn't fall asleep until near dawn. When she woke up, her forehead was full of sweat.

"Madam is awake." Xiang Lan came forward and said, "Wipe your face."

After Ren Wanyun washed and dressed, she looked outside. The window was already restored to the tranquility after the rain. The birds were chirping happily.

She smiled, "Change into a bright-colored dress. And that ruby and emerald flower."

She was already middle-aged and was used to wearing some dark-colored clothes. It was rare for her to pick bright-colored clothes to wear. Cai Ju smiled, "Madam seems to be in a good mood. Wearing such a bright color makes you look much more energetic."

Ren Wanyun looked in the mirror and smiled with satisfaction. She was naturally in a good mood. She could even be said to be overjoyed.

After everything was ready, she said, "Let's go. It's time to call my 'tired' niece for meal."

In the innermost room of the north pavilion, it was quiet. There wasn't even a maid in the yard. Ren Wanyun saw this and was quite satisfied. It seemed that Prince Yu handled things very properly and even sent away the maids.

If it weren't for fear of causing trouble, she even couldn't wait to announce the scandal inside to the world immediately. But for the means later, she endured for the moment.

"You go and knock on the door." She said to Xiang Lan, with a hint of disgust in her eyes.

She also looked down on a woman whose body was dirty. But she forgot who was the initiator that made Ye Lily like this.

"Fifth Miss," Xiang Lan walked to the door and knocked, "The eldest madam is here."

Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more.

There was no movement inside the door, as if there was no one at all.

"Fifth Miss, the eldest madam is here." Xiang Lan continued.

But after knocking on the door for a long time, no one answered.

Ren Wanyun sighed and smiled, "This fifth sister is really childish. It's already dawn and she is still lazy. It won't do if it delays the time for offering incense. Let me do it."

She walked to the door, gently knocked on it, and said softly, "Fifth sister, it's time to get up and have meal. After meal, we still have to offer incense. Don't be willful."

Still no one inside the room answered her.

Ren Wanyun turned around, somewhat helpless. She didn't know if she was explaining to herself or to others. She whispered, "Forget it. Just push the door and go in. Those maids of Fifth Sister don't know the rules. They left without permission. They must be punished severely when we go back." Saying this, she was about to push the door and go in.

"Second Aunt." The light voice sounded in the silence. Ren Wanyun was first stunned, thinking that the voice came from inside the room. But then she heard Xiang Lan and Cai Ju say together, "Fifth Miss, Second Miss."

She turned around in surprise and saw Ye Amy and Ye Lily standing together.

Today, Ye Lily wore a snow-white plain silk dress and a moon-white cape embroidered with peonies on the outside. At first glance, it seemed like she was in mourning. To look pretty, wear mourning. Used to seeing Ye Lily's bright and somewhat rustic dress, this outfit was simply elegant and refined. Coupled with her slightly cold expression, there was actually a touching feeling.

Ye Amy's eyes flashed with jealousy. She didn't know since when this stupid cousin of hers was no less beautiful in appearance. But she didn't think that Ye Lily was originally not bad-looking. It was just that she was deliberately dressed in a vulgar way. Now her temperament was outstanding first, and her appearance gradually grew. Naturally, it couldn't be compared.

Ren Wanyun was also stunned by Ye Lily's dress. She frowned and said, "Why is Fifth Sister dressed so inauspiciously? All this white and plain. I don't know. I thought our family was having a funeral."

"Second Aunt is dressed brightly today." Ye Lily chuckled.

Ren Wanyun looked at her own dress and suddenly remembered something. She carefully looked at Ye Lily. She didn't know how Ye Lily came back from outside and looked so calm. But the thing last night could deceive others but not her. She wanted to confirm something intentionally. So she walked up to Ye Lily, smiling and holding Ye Lily's arm, and asked concernedly, "Did Fifth Sister sleep well yesterday?"

"Thank you, Second Aunt, for your concern. I slept well." Ye Lily smiled.

Ren Wanyun carefully observed Ye Lily's expression. Seeing that her expression didn't seem fake, she was a little surprised. When did Ye Lily learn to be so calm? Ordinary girls encountering this kind of thing should be crying and wailing. Why was she so calm? Could it all be an act? The female voice last night, she heard it clearly.

Looking at Ye Lily's pair of clear eyes, Ren Wanyun suddenly felt a sense of unease in her heart. This unease made her a little flustered. She smiled and leaned closer to Ye Lily, saying, "I'm relieved that Fifth Sister slept well."

At first glance, she found that Ye Lily's neck was as white as jade. She was originally fair-skinned. Now it was like jade, without even a trace of stain, let alone a scar.

It's impossible. Prince Yu's way of playing with women has always been cruel. How could there be no trace on Ye Lily?

Ye Amy looked at Ye Lily and then at Ren Wanyun. She felt that something might have happened, but she didn't know exactly what.

Ren Wanyun's unease grew stronger and stronger. She grabbed Ye Lily's hand and said as if chatting familiarly, "The weather is so cold. Isn't Fifth Sister cold wearing so thin?" While saying this, Ren Wanyun suddenly pulled Ye Lily's sleeve forcefully. The white sleeve was pulled up at once, revealing a section of fair wrist.

The arm was white and clean, like fine mutton fat jade. There was not a single trace. Ren Wanyun stood there stunned. Ye Lily withdrew her hand and smiled, saying, "Second Aunt seems to be checking something."

"No..." Ren Wanyun forced a smile, "I just... My hand was a little slippery." Her heart was a little dazed and she didn't know what expression to make. How could there be not a single scar on Ye Lily? She was a married woman. Not to mention someone like Prince Yu, even an ordinary man would leave more or less traces on a woman. Could it be that Prince Yu wasn't as cruel as he seemed? But Ye Lily's expression at the moment didn't seem to have suffered a lot of blows.

But Ye Lily maintained such a calm appearance. How could some things be brought up?
