"Second Miss, you really don't want to eat anything?" This was the third time Siqin came to the room to ask. Looking at the dishes on the plate that were not appetizing to begin with, she was too embarrassed to ask again.

"You guys share the food, I don't want to be disturbed today."

Siqin looked at the bed curtain worriedly. It was pitch black inside, and she didn't see any movement from the Second Young Lady. She could only take the plate out, feeling puzzled. Why has our Young Lady locked herself in her room since she came back from the moon-viewing banquet, refusing to eat or drink?

Siqin only hated herself for not staying with the Second Young Miss all the time, so that she missed the key points and left her confused.

In fact, it was not her fault. As a member of the Second Miss's courtyard, she could not go out as often as the members of the First Miss's courtyard. This time, the Second Miss saw that she was really jealous of others and let her go with those maids to have fun.

Siqin thought about it, then paced outside the eldest lady's courtyard, wanting to ask the sisters on the eldest lady's side. She waited for a long time before she saw Sister Siwu, so she quickly ran over and smiled.

"Sister Siwu!"

Si Wu was startled by the sudden black shadow, and he felt relieved after seeing who it was: "It's Si Qin, do you have something to talk to me about?" Si Wu was a little arrogant, and anyway, the eldest lady treated her differently, so Si Qin could only try to please her.

"That's right. The second young lady has been feeling unwell since returning from the moon-watching party last night. I wasn't there at the time, and Sister Siwu was following the eldest young lady. Do you know what inappropriate things happened yesterday?"

Si Wu thought about it and shook his head, saying, "In the first half of yesterday, we all ate mooncakes together. Later, the eldest lady went to compete with other ladies in swordplay. The second lady has never liked weapons and did not join us. I don't know what happened."

"So that's how it is. Thank you, Sister Siwu. I'm leaving now!" Siqin tactfully retreated. Siwu was arrogant by nature, and since she said no, that meant she didn't know. If she insisted on asking, she was afraid she would get angry.

As soon as I returned to the courtyard, I saw Sister Si Wen followed by two little girls, carrying something in her arms. Si Qin and Si Hua in the corridor hurried over to greet her: "Why is Sister Si Wen here?"

Si Wen stood still and spoke gently, "Just now, Si Wu and the eldest lady said that the second lady was not feeling well, so they specially sent some fresh fruits and exquisite snacks for the second lady to enjoy."

"Thank you, Miss!" Siqin and Sihua took the two plates and excitedly saw Siwen off.

"This thing looks so exquisite. I'll get it for our young lady!" Si Qin wanted to let the second young lady eat something, but was stopped by Si Hua.

"Hey! The young lady just said that she didn't want to be disturbed today, why are you going in again now?"

"Well..." Siqin hesitated.

"Besides, the young lady gave these to show off the food there. What's so great about that?"

Siqin was about to ask her to speak quietly when she heard the second young lady calling her from inside the room, and she hurried in with a plate.

"Who came just now?" Xu Yiyan had already stood up and was sitting on the edge of the bed, but he felt a little dizzy, probably because he hadn't eaten today.

"It's Sister Si Wen who is by the side of the eldest lady. She heard that you were ill, so she sent some food to encourage you to eat." Si Qin gestured at the things on the table with her eyes. She had to admit that these things were very exquisite, much better than what the second lady usually ate. No wonder Si Hua was angry. Who could be happy with two different treatments in one mansion?

Xu Yiyan grabbed Siqin's hand and walked to the table. He looked at the grapes and lychees on the plate that were so elegantly arranged. They were indeed the things from his good sister's yard. Even if they were going to be eaten the next moment, they had to be arranged beautifully.

"How did they know?"

"This... I was worried whether something happened yesterday, so I went to ask Sister Siwu..." Siqin whispered.

"Oh! It's hard for you!" Xu Yiyan patted Siqin's little face, which was round and chubby and very cute.

When she thought of last night, she couldn't hide the deep sorrow in her eyes. She was full of joy and took the token to find the Seventh Prince to fulfill her promise, but she learned another secret from his eyes, and she felt a headache.

Sister, my dear sister, you have so much already, are you going to take away my last straw?

Who would have thought that a prince would actually covet a married woman! I had endured and pretended for many years, thinking that I had found a way to save my life, but it turned out to be nothing. The Seventh Prince refused to even be a fake couple with me, and it was not because that person was my sister!

"Miss, why are you crying?"

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm just too tired, so tired." How can I not be tired after performing a play for seven or eight years.

"Then let me help you to sleep for a while?"

"No, I want to eat first." He grabbed some snacks from the plate and stuffed them into his mouth. Even without Lu Anyuan, there were still Li Anyuan and Wang Anyuan. Even without him, he could still walk out of the Xu Mansion in style and avenge his mother!

By the time she had finished a whole plate of snacks, Siqin was already stunned. Why was the Second Miss so rude today? . .

Then Xu Yiyan wiped the cake crumbs from his mouth elegantly and said, "Siqin, do you visit Madam Gu often?"

"Ah? No, not often." Nanny Gu is the Madam's confidant, and she has always been very harsh towards the Second Young Lady's courtyard. Who would be willing to go there?

"I'm afraid I'll have to go there more often in the future... So, let's go to the kitchen first." Xu Yiyan showed a beautiful smile and took Siqin to the kitchen.

Although she didn't know what the Second Young Lady was going to do, Siqin still followed her every day, followed her out, followed her to chat with the little maids in the mansion, and followed her to do some insignificant good things. It was not until nearly a year later that she really saw what the Second Young Lady wanted to do.

"Miss... these, these accounts... if they really belong to Mrs. Gu, then she..."

"Then she's dead!" Xu Yiyan's face was full of excitement. She didn't expect that it would be so easy to get rid of that evil woman. She didn't know whether it was because she was too arrogant or because she thought it didn't matter, she actually went to those shops without hiding from people, which allowed her to successfully find out her dirty property.

As long as these accounts come before my father, no, there is no need, as long as they come before Gu, she will definitely beat to death any wicked slave who embezzles money!

"So, when do you plan to start?"

"Hmm..." Xu Yiyan thought about it. In fact, given her hatred for Mrs. Gu, she wanted to report her right away, but her eldest sister had been engaged to the Duke's Mansion and would be getting married next autumn.

At this time, Gu must still need Mrs. Gu's help to take care of the wedding arrangements, and dad might let this matter go in order to maintain the reputation of the mansion, which would be bad.

It is better to wait and see. Once my elder sister gets married and the marriage is set, my father may have nothing to worry about, and we can get rid of the problem completely!
