Su Lingyue opened her eyes and screamed. Her face turned pale and she gasped for breath as if she was dying. She stared blankly at the ceiling of the green gauze tent.

The maid who was embroidering a sachet outside the door heard the unusual noise inside, so she quickly put down her needlework, pushed open the door and walked into the room.

"Miss, what's wrong with you? Did you have a nightmare?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Su Lingyue came back to her senses and pulled her thoughts out of the nightmare. A round-faced girl in pink clothes was patting her gently and comforting her.

Su Lingyue looked at the lively colorful butterfly in front of her and her breathing stagnated. She was not killed by Su Nanxing, and was still by her side!

"Miss, I'm here." Caidie chuckled and patted Su Lingyue's chest gently to comfort the frightened young lady.

Su Lingyue felt the real touch of the quilt and her own heart beating rapidly due to fright, and only then did she feel sure that she was still alive, Caidie was not dead, and her chest was not stabbed into a bloody hole.

Tears flowed unconsciously from my eyes.

"Cai Die, why are you crying, miss? Did you do something wrong again?"

A clear and pleasant female voice was heard, and then she walked to Su Lingyue's bed and looked at Su Lingyue worriedly.

Caidie stared with big eyes, looked at Caiyi standing next to her and explained: "Sister, I didn't. The young lady might have had a nightmare and was frightened. She even screamed out loud just now."

Caiyi took out a handkerchief and wiped Su Lingyue's tears. She said to Caidie, "I'll watch over her. Go get a cup of ginseng tea."

Caidie hurriedly trotted out of the room.

"Miss, did you have a nightmare?" Caiyi looked at Su Lingyue and asked with concern.

Su Lingyue looked at the beautiful woman in the green dress in front of her. She remembered that Caiyi was pushed into the lake in the Prince's Mansion by Su Nanxing and drowned. She was dead when she was fished out, with her eyes wide open, as if she died with her eyes open!

"Yeah, I had a nightmare and was scared."

Su Lingyue held Caiyi's hand tightly, trembling constantly. She looked at Caiyi with lingering fear, afraid that Caiyi would die again if she let go.

Caiyi looked at her young lady's delicate little face, which was completely pale, as if she had been greatly frightened, and felt heartbroken.

I have to think of a way to change the young lady's mood, so I coaxed her softly: "Miss, it's okay, the flowers in Xunyue Courtyard are in full bloom, how about getting up to enjoy the flowers?"

Su Lingyue didn't say anything. She held Caiyi's hand tightly and just shook her head, staring at Caiyi like a drowning person holding on to a piece of driftwood.

Caiyi looked at her young lady, who looked like she was hit hard, so she let her hold it. After thinking for a while, she chuckled and asked, "Young lady, what did you dream about? Can you tell me? I learned some dream interpretation techniques from my grandmother. How about I interpret your dream for you?"

Su Lingyue shook her head.

How should she say it?

She said that the person she loved was not worthy of being a human being. Her father and brother killed her uncle's family for power. Her sister ignored her status as the emperor's aunt and had sex with the prince, who was her nephew. She said that they died tragically while protecting their master, but their mistress failed to avenge them!

Su Lingyue couldn't say it.

Caiyi didn't ask any more questions, and covered the young lady's hand with her other hand, transferring the warmth of her palm to the cold little hand in her hand.

Caidie held the tray and carefully placed the ginseng tea in front of Caiyi.

Caiyi looked at Su Lingyue who was still in a trance and coaxed her softly, "Miss, get up and drink some ginseng tea. It can calm your mind."

"Okay." Su Lingyue nodded, loosened her hand that was tightly holding Caiyi's, propped herself up and sat up.

Caidie placed a soft pillow behind Su Lingyue, helped Su Lingyue sit down, opened the lid of the teacup on the tray, and handed it to Su Lingyue's lips.

Su Lingyue looked at the two people with concerned faces, then lowered her head and drank the ginseng tea in the cup in small sips. After a while, she finished the ginseng tea.

"Thank you, Caidie, Caiyi"

Su Lingyue was grateful to the two of them from the bottom of her heart. They were bought by her uncle to accompany her since they were young and took care of her in every aspect of life. When she was happy, they were happy. When she was sad, they would try their best to make her happy. They would play with her and do everything she wanted to do with her. They even sacrificed their lives for her in their previous life.

At this moment, Su Lingyue realized that compared to Su Nanxing, her sister who was sweet-mouthed but treacherous, Caidie Caiyi was more like her sister.

It was the first time they heard their young lady speak to them so politely, and the two were a little uncomfortable. Caidie smiled and asked curiously, "What's wrong with the young lady today? She never said these things to us before?"

"Yes, Miss, I'm not used to you being like this." Caiyi also chuckled in agreement. She looked at the young lady in front of her and felt that she seemed a little different from usual. She became much calmer, and less spoiled and lively than the little girl in the past.

Su Lingyue looked at the two people who were laughing with her, and finally felt relieved. She also smiled: "Today I want to say something, and it is necessary to say it. You have followed me for so long, I will definitely protect you well and will not let others bully you again."

Caidie said with a smile: "Miss, just say whatever you want to say. We will protect you for the rest of our lives and won't let anyone bully you." Her big round eyes narrowed into two crescents.

Caiyi held Su Lingyue's hand and teased her: "Miss, how come you have grown up after waking up from a sleep? Is it because you are getting married that you suddenly became smart?"

Hearing this, the smile on Su Lingyue's lips slowly disappeared and her eyes drooped.

Seeing the changes in her young lady, Caiyi was a little puzzled. Did she say something wrong? But in the past, when talking about getting married and the prince, the young lady would always feel embarrassed and annoyed. She would complain but be in a good mood. But today, when she heard about getting married, she seemed unhappy.

"What's wrong, young lady?" Caiyi asked carefully, looking at her young lady. She seemed to see some hatred in her young lady's eyes. Was it her illusion?

Su Lingyue thought about it and felt that it was necessary to tell Caidie Caiyi about her ideas. After all, according to the current situation, they were the only people she could trust. She also needed them to be wary of the entire Prime Minister's Mansion and the Prince, and her plan also needed their help.

Su Lingyue held Caiyi's hand and asked Caidie to sit down beside the bed. She took a deep breath, raised her eyes, and looked at the two of them with great seriousness: "Caidie, Caiyi, I don't want to marry the prince anymore."

Caidie Caiyi was very surprised. How could this lady, who always liked to chase after the prince and whose face would blush for a long time after speaking to the prince, say today that she would not marry the prince?

Looking at her young lady's expression, she didn't want to get married again. Caiyi asked in confusion: "Why does the young lady suddenly not want to get married?"

Su Lingyue looked at the two of them with gloomy eyes, and said with resentment, "The Crown Prince and my second sister have long expressed their friendship to each other. They asked for permission to marry me only for the financial resources of my uncle's family and the support of the Ministry of Revenue."
