"It's just that I saw that Rouze's clothes were old, so I asked someone to make some new clothes for her. It's not as serious as you say."

Duoluo Gege recovered and began to make amends:

"It must be that those people below are blind and only try to curry favor with their masters, which is why they made such a mistake. It's good that you discovered it in time, and it's not in vain that I taught you all the time. But it's inappropriate to make such a fuss. You are pregnant now, so you can't speak and act so carelessly as you did in the past."

This Duoluo Gege has no other skills, but he has mastered the art of putting the blame on someone else.

"Don't worry, mother and sister. I'll change my clothes right away. It's just a piece of clothing. There's no point in arguing about it among our family."

Rouze walked forward, took Yixiu's hand and said, "What you just said is exactly right. It was because I was not careful. Now you are pregnant. Although it is your father who asked me to take care of you, you still need your guidance on many things."

Rouze has a sweet appearance, and coupled with her humble demeanor, even Yixiu today has to admit that she is indeed very pitiful and hard to blame.

Since it has been made public that Rouze has come to the mansion to take care of her, she can't really kick him out. Keeping him under her nose will make it easier for her to observe and monitor him. She might even use him as a gun.

Thinking of this, Yixiu immediately put on a smiling face: "Sister, what are you talking about? I'm pregnant now, and I feel relieved to be with a sister who grew up together. I'm sorry for the hard work, sister."

Isn't it just a competition of who is more innocent?

In the previous life, the teenage Yixiu was no match for Rouze. Could she still be no match for him in this life?

……

In the study.

At this time, the Fourth Prince Yinzhen had already seen off the guests, and the young man was sitting at the desk reading a copy of "The Art of War".

The equally young Su Peisheng walked in, bent over, and reported to his master what had just happened between Yixiu and Duoluo Gege.

"Are you saying that Yixiu has pissed off my aunt?"

Yinzhen raised his eyebrows and spoke in disbelief. In his impression, Yixiu has always been a cautious person. What happened to her today?

Su Peisheng nodded and said, "I have confirmed it many times, and I always reply in the same way."

Next, Su Peisheng explained the whole story to Yinzhen in detail, and the young man burst into laughter: "Okay, okay, finally someone has come to teach the younger generation about this casual attitude of aunt. This is what my woman should be like."

His aunt was really too much. She tortured her maids like that. Not to mention Yixiu, even he felt humiliated and annoyed. He even started to dislike his cousin named Rouze.

"Su Peisheng, go tell Yixiu that I will go to her place for dinner later."

"Wait a minute. Even if my aunt leaves soon, I'm afraid her sister will still be here. It would be awkward for me to go over there. You can tell Yixiu that I will go over to accompany her after dinner."

However, Rouze arrived earlier than the two had imagined.

As soon as Duoluo Gege left, Rouze, who had just changed her clothes, came to Yixiu's room to talk to her.

She was wearing an ordinary peach-colored embroidered skirt, with a casual bun on her head, and no flowers except a hairpin. She was very pretty and charming.

When Rouze walked in, Yizheng was sitting at the desk practicing calligraphy.

In the past, she was just a concubine's daughter, and unlike her sister, she did not have an endless supply of musical instruments and clothes to practice with. Fortunately, writing was a matter of personal discretion, and she only needed a set of pens, ink, paper, and inkstone to practice for many years.

"My sister is practicing calligraphy again."

When Rouze came in, she had a peaceful and gentle smile on her face, a look that Yixiu had been familiar with since childhood.

"My sister has loved calligraphy since she was young. Only she can endure the hardship of practicing calligraphy like this. It is really admirable."

Yixiu rolled her eyes in her heart, thinking that if she really wanted to admire him, why didn't she go and suffer herself? If I had the conditions back then, I wouldn't have to stick to the desk.

"Sister, are you here for something?"

Although she was dissatisfied in her heart, Yixiu had already developed the habit of not showing her emotions on her face after spending many years in the deep palace.

She had already planned to let Rouze enter the mansion, but in this life, Rouze could not easily become the legitimate wife.

She wanted to let Rouze and her child have a taste of what it was like to be born out of wedlock.

At this time, Rouze was just a teenage girl. How could she have imagined that the illegitimate sister in front of her, who had always been servile to her, was no longer the person she was familiar with.

"Mother was so happy to hear that you were pregnant today. I wanted to dress up to bring you joy, but I accidentally broke the rules."

Rouze held Yixiu's hand and advised her gently as she did in the past: "This is of course mother's negligence, but our Yixiu has always been gentle and docile, so she won't hold it against mother, right?"

"Oh? Mother was too happy and neglected it. What about you, sister? Are you too happy too?"

Yixiu looked back into Rouze's eyes and spoke softly, with a faint smile still on her face.

"I?"

Rouze didn't seem to expect Yixiu to bring this up, and she stammered, "I...I, of course, did what my mother told me to do. Could it be that my sister is so angry that she not only blames mother, but also me?"

"It was my elder sister who wore the clothes, so it was my elder sister who broke the rules. I would like to ask if my elder sister realized that it was against the rules before she went out, and whether she had advised her mother."

Yixiu looked at Rouze and spoke slowly and calmly.

From her performance just now, she was very sure that Rouze herself had been interested in entering the palace, but she was unwilling to reveal her desire directly and used Duoluo Gege as a shield.

Today's clothes, and later, taking advantage of the concubine's disrespect, he made the concubine, who was already pregnant, kneel in the scorching sun until she had a miscarriage.

In these matters, Rouze was obviously the ultimate beneficiary, but she always had thousands of reasons why she had to do so and why she was not aware of them.

"Is my sister blaming me?"

Rouze's tears started to fall.

But she was not very sad in her heart, because she knew that as long as she shed tears, Yixiu would never care. Although her sister was born out of wedlock, she was stubborn at heart and would never respond to soft words or hard ones.

Unexpectedly, Yixiu still looked at her as before and didn't say anything, but Rouze felt cold all over. She was really frightened by Yixiu's aura and didn't dare to speak for a while.

After half a cup of tea, Yixiu finally spoke:

"Sister, you must be more careful next time. Otherwise, if word gets out, people will think that we, the Ulanara family, don't know how to teach our daughters. Even if I am fine, there are still so many girls in the family who are not betrothed. Wouldn't that make the clan members resentful?"

"Yes, yes...my sister is right."

Rouze spoke almost instinctively, her body already drenched in sweat.

"Master, dinner is ready. The Fourth Prince said he knew Miss Rouze would come to the mansion this afternoon, and thought the concubine and her sister would have a lot to talk about, so the Fourth Prince will come after dinner."

Rouze:......

"Fourth Prince is really considerate. In that case, sister, let's go have dinner."

In the front hall of Yongkang Pavilion, Jianqiu and others had already led people to arrange everything when Xiuxia went to pass on the message to Yixiu.

There was a dish of shrimp with Longjing tea, a dish of pickled pork with preserved vegetables, a plate of steamed cheese and steamed buns with fresh meat that had just been taken out of the steamer. These were all specialties of the chef in the mansion, and they were a Jiangnan flavor not often seen in the capital. They were really attractive when placed on the table.

But Rouze had no appetite at this time.

Xiu Xia's message just now made her feel very uneasy.

She was worried that what happened in the afternoon had reached the Fourth Prince's ears, and that he would feel that he was not following the rules, just as Yi Xiu said.

Then he was afraid again. Even though the Fourth Prince didn't know about it now, when he saw Yi Xiu at night, she might think that Yi Xiu was making fun of this and told it to the Fourth Prince.

Rouze was a little annoyed for a moment. If she had known this would happen, she should not have agreed immediately when her mother asked her to dress up, and even added some exaggeration.

My mother is really impatient. Why does she have to make things difficult for those maids when she is doing nothing?

As she thought about it, she felt that Yixiu was the one behind it.

How come this sister has become a completely different person now? Not only does she not feel sorry for me or help me anymore, she even always asks me questions that embarrass me.

How vicious! She hid it so well in the past that I couldn't even notice it!

Just as my mother said, these illegitimate daughters are poisonous snakes and will bite me sooner or later!

She must strive to be good on her own so that she won't be bullied in the future.
