Qiu Xiu thought for a moment and replied, "... on the 29th of next month."

It will be soon. I'm sure Aunt Xu and Ruan Yuxi are like ants on a hot pan, running around in a panic.

She lowered her eyelashes to hide the coldness in her eyes and spoke softly.

"It will be soon..."

A few days later, after the girl had performed her filial duties to her wife in the main courtyard, she would take a detour from the small garden to Yangliu Pavilion.

He sat and talked with Aunt Xi for a while, and then left as it was getting dark.

The next evening, Yu Luan had just finished her light dinner when she saw Mother Liu from the main courtyard coming towards her. She bowed to her with an unusually solemn look on her face.

"Hello, mother." Mother Liu was always a kind person, and the girl was willing to give her some face. When she saw that her expression was unusual, she just smiled and pretended not to know. "Why is my son here at this time? Has mother Liu had dinner yet?"

Mother Liu couldn't help but smile. Fifth Lady was always polite to everyone she met, chatting softly and not taking anyone lightly.

She is beautiful, thoughtful and considerate, smart and rare! How could anyone not like her?

"Something just happened. I'm afraid I won't be able to eat for a while." She said, "The master and the mistress have asked all the ladies to go to the main courtyard..."

She stopped talking here and didn't say what happened. But it was obvious that hiding things like this was not a good thing.

A glimpse of Ruan Yuxi's coquettish profile flashed quickly before the girl's eyes. She lowered her eyelashes and responded briskly.

"...Please wait for a moment, mom. I'll be here soon after I change my clothes."

She ordered Dong Yu and Hong Mei: "Bring some snacks to Mama Liu. Mama is old and can't afford to go hungry."

Although this order was just a piece of cake for her, it was naturally very pleasing to Mother Liu's ears.

He quickly said, "Thank you for your consideration," and sat down to eat one or two pieces of cake to fill his stomach.

Qiu Xiu followed the girl around the screen and went to the inner room to change clothes. When she tied the belt around the girl's slender waist, her fingertips couldn't help but tremble a little.

Yu Luan stretched out her fingertips and grabbed her hand.

The maid raised her eyes in surprise, with a hint of fear in her eyes.

"Madam..." Her voice was very low, "It's our evidence..."

"Yes." Yu Luan looked directly into her eyes, her tone cold and direct, "I must make Ruan Yuxi... go to that hell!"

Qiu Xiu bit her lips gently and listened to her continue.

"House fighting... is not just about fighting for the mistress and master's favor every day, fighting for those pieces of cloth and hairpins..." She spoke word by word with a cold tone, "The most important thing is to be ruthless! You have to trample your enemies into the mud..."

"You will never be reborn!"

Just like, the Fushan Wang couple... Yunzhi... and Ruan Yuxi!

She will not let any of these people go.

Qiu Xiu understood what she meant, took a deep breath, and lowered her head: "Yes..."

When the girl slowly walked into the flower hall, it was already getting dark. There were many people sitting in the hall, and several figures were kneeling on the ground.

After she went forward to greet him, she sat down below the Third Lady, and heard her whisper with lingering fear: "I never thought... Aunt Xu would actually act as a matchmaker and find a lover for Ruan Yuxi..."

Yu Luan's eyes immediately fell on the figure on the ground.

The girl was wearing a crabapple red satin dress and her hair was loose, but she refused to lower her head. She stared fiercely at the master and his wife who were sitting at the top.

Her eyes turned and fell on herself.

Beside her, there was a figure kneeling, his clothes were disheveled, and he looked like a young man.

The lady wore a headband to protect herself from the wind, and gently supported her temples with her fingertips. She took a deep breath and signaled to the housekeeper behind her.

"…Drag this shameless little bitch out and lock her up."

Ruan Yuxi bit her lips so hard that blood almost came out. She cursed loudly, "You are the bitch! I call you Madam, but how can you treat me as your daughter? I am just a chess piece..."

Having said that, she still felt it was not satisfying enough, so she pulled out the hairpin from her bun and rushed towards the girl who was sitting quietly beside her.

"You're the one who hurt me! You're the one who caused all this! I'm going to kill you, kill you!"

Seeing that she looked crazy, Mother Liu quickly signaled a few strong women to come forward and subdue the woman.

Ruan Yuxi was carried out, still cursing. From beginning to end, the girl looked at this noisy scene very calmly.

Aunt Xi kept shouting "Amitabha" and turned to the master and said, "Master... I guess the fourth lady must have gone crazy after seeing her scandal exposed?"

Mr. Ruan's face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it. At this moment, he was in no mood to pay attention to what others said.

The wife was trying hard to deal with the matter. She gently pressed her aching forehead with her fingertips and asked in a cold voice.

"Aunt Xu...what else do you have to say?"

Upon hearing this, Aunt Xu couldn't help but smile softly, and said in a low voice with a numb expression: "What else can I say?"

The wife sneered, "I have been very kind to you and your daughter. The Fushan Palace... that is a family that many families in the capital cannot even get into!"

"The marriage that Madam has arranged for our fourth sister is certainly a good one!" Aunt Xu lowered her eyebrows, twisting a handkerchief lightly with her fingertips, and her tone was slightly hateful. "How dare we object?"

This made the wife unexpected: "Madam Xu, are you not satisfied with this marriage? Don't forget that the Fourth Lady is your daughter, and also the daughter of the Ruan family. She has been living a life of luxury since she was a child... Even if she makes some sacrifices for the family, it's no big deal!"

After hearing these words, Yu Luan, who was sitting beside them, couldn't help but feel a slight chill down her spine.

The extremely beautiful and graceful woman stood up, bowed perfunctorily to her, and turned away.

"I dare not! Madam, you must be careful and hold these concubines who did not crawl out of your belly in your heart and never let them go!" She said, throwing her silk scarf and chuckling, "lest they fly away one day! They are disobedient!"

Her eyes swept across Yu Luan, and the malice in her words was not concealed: "Watch out...whether some concubine's daughter will come back and bite a piece of your flesh off!"

These words frightened the lady. She stood up from her chair and dug her fingertips deeply into the back of Mrs. Liu's hand.

"Xu, you must remember your identity! How dare you speak nonsense like this in front of me?!"

"Bitch!" She stretched out her fingertips and swept the teapot on the table to the ground. Her heart was beating fast and she felt dizzy with anger.

"Madam has been too angry lately..." Mother Liu had no choice but to support her and calm her down. "You already have a migraine problem, and you don't know how to take care of yourself. What can I do?"
