At this moment, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in the private room on the second floor from the corner of her eye. When she looked closely, she realized who else it could be but Ye Yunzi!

"So he went to the private room!"

Su Yu had just breathed a sigh of relief when he suddenly discovered that there was a woman standing next to Ye Yunzi. Upon closer inspection, it was the Thirteenth Princess, Baili Yue!

It was surprising enough that Her Royal Highness the Princess had secretly come to Feihe Tower. What was even more surprising was that Ye Yunzi was actually talking and laughing with her, and it seemed that they had a close relationship.

Su Yu secretly clenched her fists, "Ye Yunzi, humph, no matter who you are friends with, once what happened today is exposed, your reputation will be ruined and you will become the laughing stock of the whole city. You will never be able to raise your head again!"

Her eyes were cold. If looks could kill, Ye Yunzi would have been glared into several holes by her.

She pondered for a moment, then told her maid to inform Ye Ziru to first find a way to lure Ye Yunzi away from the Thirteenth Princess, and then take action when she was alone.

Ye Ziru nodded and agreed, "Don't worry, I will take care of it."

……

Not long after, Ye Ziru went upstairs and walked towards the private room where Ye Yunzi was.

There were maids guarding the door of the private room and no one was allowed to approach.

"Stop! My lady won't allow anyone to disturb her." The maid said coldly. The fact that Her Royal Highness the Princess left the palace without permission must not be known to outsiders.

Ye Ziru looked into the private room with some confusion and said, "I saw my eldest sister enter the private room. Can you go and inform her that my fourth sister Ye Ziru wants to discuss something with her?"

"Looking for Miss Ye?"

"Yes."

The maid hesitated for a moment and said, "Wait here."

She turned and walked into the private room to report. When Ye Yunzi heard that Ye Ziru came to see her, a hint of surprise appeared on her face.

Why would Ye Ziru come to see her?

Baili Yue curled her lips and said, "Let her go back. I heard that your fourth sister is already married and she shouldn't be here anymore."

Baili Yue looked down on everyone. The daughters of the first wife and the first wife were so scared that they trembled when they saw her, as if she was a man-eating beast, ready to kill at any time.

She doesn't bother with those boring people!

Only Ye Yunzi could catch her eye. Her archery skills had reached a superb level. She was obviously a girl from the harem, so where did she learn archery?

Ye Yunzi hesitated for a moment. She didn't want to pay attention to Ye Ziru, but she came to her suddenly today, there must be something strange. She wanted to see what Ye Ziru wanted to do.

"Your Highness, I'll be right back."

Ye Yunzi bowed slightly, indicating that she was leaving.

Baili Yue looked at her reluctantly, "Then you better come back soon, I'll be bored to death if I stay here alone!"

"understood."

Ye Yunzi walked out of the private room and saw Ye Ziru at a glance.

Ye Ziru looked much more haggard than when she was in the Ye Mansion, her eyes were full of melancholy, and it was obvious that she was not living a good life. When she looked up, their eyes met, and a trace of hatred flashed in Ye Ziru's eyes.

The corners of Ye Yunzi's mouth rose slightly, as if she didn't see Ye Ziru's hatred.

"I wonder what Fourth Sister wants from me?"

"Big sister..." Ye Ziru pretended to be pitiful and said, "I want to talk to you."

"what's up?"

"Why don't we go have a cup of tea and chat slowly."

It was obvious that Ye Ziru wanted to get her away from Baili Yue. There must be some conspiracy.

Ye Yunzi casually glanced downstairs. Among the group of people, only one person was staring at her, and that was Su Yu.

Su Yu saw Ye Yunzi's gaze and quickly turned away.

Ye Yunzi smiled and said softly, "Okay, let's go downstairs and talk slowly."

Ye Ziru showed a hint of joy on her face, and the two walked downstairs together. Ye Ziru looked at Ye Yunzi's back as she slowly walked down the stairs, and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes. Ye Yunzi, today... you will definitely not be able to escape.

Not long after, the two sat in a secluded corner.

Ye Ziru lowered her head, twisted her handkerchief, and her face was full of confusion.

"I wonder what Fourth Sister wants to say?" Ye Yunzi asked directly.

Ye Ziru bit her lip and said awkwardly, "Sister, I didn't live well after marrying into the Shen Mansion. Shen Yuming... even took in several concubines."

Ye Yunzi raised her eyebrows. Of course she knew these things.

Shen Yuming is not a good person, and it is common for him to take concubines.

All I can say is that Ye Ziru was too naive, thinking that Shen Yuming was a perfect man, handsome, talented, and very doting on his wife and children.

Ye Ziru raised her head. "Big sister, I came to you today to ask you where my mother is now. I haven't seen her since she was kicked out of the Ye Mansion."

She looked pitiful and worried.

"Third Aunt." Ye Yunzi said lightly, looking up at Ye Ziru.

Ye Ziru felt uneasy when she was stared at by Ye Yunzi's sharp black eyes. She swallowed her saliva involuntarily, and her eyes were evasive, not daring to look her in the eye.

"I thought you had seen her a long time ago." Ye Yunzi said softly.

"How could I see my mother?" Ye Ziru smiled awkwardly. "I was locked in the courtyard in the Ye Mansion the whole time. I only stepped out of the courtyard when the sedan chair of the Shen family arrived. I never saw my mother from beginning to end."

"Big sister, if you know the whereabouts of my mother, please tell me! Even if she was driven out of the Ye Mansion, she is still my mother..."

As Ye Ziru spoke, her eyes became red and tears were about to fall.

Ye Yunzi looked calm and said coldly, "I have seen it several times before. A dirty beggar crawled towards the back door of Shen's house, mumbling something. At that time, she would be beaten up and thrown away far away, and not allowed to get close to Shen's house.

However, the Shen Mansion seemed to have her hope. Even if she was beaten, she would crawl back to the Shen Mansion again and again..."

"correct."

Ye Yunzi raised her eyes, looked at Ye Ziru, and said, "You have also seen this beggar, right? I happened to be walking on the street at that time, and saw the beggar holding the corner of your skirt tightly. He wanted to say something, but you kicked the beggar away."

"You..." Ye Ziru widened her eyes and her body trembled uncontrollably.

Ye Yunzi's words were indifferent, but as if they had crawled out of hell, cold and as if she could see through people's hearts.

She broke out in cold sweat, her pupils trembled, and she was deeply shocked.

Yes.

She saw the beggar.

She was dirty, her wounds had not been treated, and her body was covered with boils... Although her face was so dirty that it was unrecognizable, her eyes were clearly those of her mother, the Third Aunt.

The third aunt was asking her for help, asking her to save her.

She was extremely scared. Where had her once beautiful mother gone? How could she have become a beggar that no one dared to approach, and she was so dirty!

A thought flashed through her mind. She could barely protect herself in the Shen Mansion. Shen Yuming didn't like her. If she took in another burden, she didn't know how she would be disliked. So she cruelly kicked the Third Aunt aside.
