A feeling of heat came over me.

Yu Caiwei tried to stand up to stop him, but was still pinned down by him.

Yu Caiwei was almost out of strength, and her twisting body gradually became motionless.

Xiao Cheng half stood up: "Why don't you scream? Weren't you screaming happily just now?"

Yu Caiwei panted heavily and brushed her messy hair.

"What a rare treat! Yu Caiwei will keep this dress as a souvenir, but that's all." Xiao Cheng's cold voice was particularly creepy. "The second young lady is innocent and not bound by rules. But she is smart. She was slow at first, but her movements became more standard after practice."

Aunt Xu and this nanny have been friends for many years. Now seeing her old friend, she couldn't help but smile.

While reaching out to pull the nanny over and asking her to sit down, he also reached out to take the things in her hand and placed them on the table beside her.

"Second Miss, the morning classes have come to an end. Please take a rest! You have worked hard this morning."

Aunt Xu handed Yu Caiwei a handkerchief to wipe her sweat and ended the morning class.

When Yu Caiwei heard this, she moved her already stiff hands and feet.

Yu Caiwei had done a lot of exercise in the morning class and now she was starving. She really wanted to eat something delicious.

The moment she heard the class was over, Yu Caiwei wanted to go straight to the kitchen, but because of the lady's etiquette she had just learned in the morning, she restrained herself and walked out in small steps. When she reached the door, Yu Caiwei couldn't help but turned her head.

"Aunt Xu, I wasn't kidding you at that time. Keep the child away from water!"

After spending the whole morning together, Yu Caiwei could see that Aunt Xu was a serious person, so she decided to remind her again. After all, if she could really save a life, it would be a great merit.

Aunt Xu twitched her lips and waved her hand to indicate that Yu Caiwei could leave.

She always felt that although the second young lady was beautiful, her personality was a little unpredictable and she always liked to meddle in things related to gods and ghosts.

Watching Yu Caiwei's leaving back, the nanny looked at her old friend with some curiosity, feeling that something had happened that she didn't know about.

Seeing that the old friend was curious, Aunt Xu repeated to the nanny exactly what Yu Caiwei had just said to her.

Although Aunt Xu did not take this matter to heart, the nanny told the old lady of the Duke's Mansion everything Yu Caiwei said.

So, Yu Caiwei suffered that night.

Yu Caiwei was called to the ancestral hall of the Duke's Mansion with a bewildered look on her face. Looking at the rows of tablets being enshrined, Yu Caiwei blinked her innocent big eyes at the Duke's wife standing beside her.

"Do you know you were wrong?"

Yu Caiwei, who had just stood still, was stunned by the old lady's question.

Yu Caiwei reacted with a confused look on her face. She couldn't understand what the old lady was saying at all. She even reflected on whether the old lady was unhappy because she had eaten an extra big elbow that night, which didn't meet the requirements of a noble lady.

But then I thought again, it didn't seem right. It was just an elbow and shouldn't be that serious.

So Yu Caiwei, who really couldn't think of an answer, had to look up at the old lady and try to get her to tell her the answer directly.

"What did you say to Aunt Xu today? Aunt Xu is from the palace, don't try to deceive her with your tricks."

The old lady of the Duke's Mansion frowned as she looked at her somewhat stubborn granddaughter. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

"What do you mean by deception? We are a serious Taoist temple, and we study serious metaphysics, not deception."

I get excited when I talk about Yu Caiwei. After all, she is a legitimate Taoist priest and she can't allow others to slander her.

Seeing that Yu Caiwei dared to talk back to her, the old lady became even angrier. In a fit of rage, she ordered Yu Caiwei to kneel in the ancestral hall for one night and reflect on her behavior.

Don’t ask why it takes one night, because I have classes the next day.

Yu Caiwei felt a little aggrieved when she was punished to kneel. Although she really didn't know what she did wrong, the other party was her elder, so she could only obey and do as he said.

As the night deepened, the candlelight in the ancestral hall flickered. Yu Caiwei's frail figure knelt alone on the cold stone slab. The only sounds around her were the occasional sound of the wind and her heavy breathing. The servants passing by the ancestral hall all cast sympathetic or surprised glances at her and whispered to each other.

"Look, the second young lady is still kneeling there. The old lady has made up her mind."

"Yes, I heard that it was because she said something she shouldn't have said. Aunt Xu came from the palace, so when the old lady heard about this, she would naturally be unhappy."

Yu Caiwei listened to these words, her heart was bitter, but her eyes were firm, she firmly believed that what she did was not malicious. The night was getting deeper and deeper, the cold penetrated through her clothes and penetrated into her bones, but she still insisted, and from time to time someone secretly gave her a blanket, but she refused them all.

"Second Miss, you can't do this. Your body won't be able to take it." An elderly servant consoled her softly, his eyes full of heartache.

Yu Caiwei smiled slightly and replied: "Thank you for your kindness, old man, but I have to do this, at least to let the old lady understand my sincerity."

Just when Yu Caiwei could hardly hold on, the door of the ancestral hall was suddenly pushed open, and a familiar figure appeared at the door. It was Xiao Cheng. He looked at the stubborn Yu Caiwei with complicated eyes, and the servants around him immediately retreated tactfully.

"Why are you doing this?" Xiao Cheng's voice was soft and gentle. Xiao Cheng's voice was particularly clear in the quiet ancestral hall. Yu Caiwei looked up at him, her eyes full of fatigue and determination.

"I'm not wrong, why can't I stick to it?" she whispered, her voice weak but still stubborn.

Xiao Cheng sighed, took a few steps forward, and stood in front of her. His eyes became much softer under the candlelight, "I know you are not someone who deliberately stirs up trouble, but the old lady does need a way out."

There was an indescribable power in his words, as if it could warm up the air around him. At this time, there was another sound of hurried footsteps outside the ancestral hall, and several servants came in with the Duke's wife.

"Second Miss, what are you doing? Why are you still here!" The Duke's wife stepped forward as soon as she saw Yu Caiwei kneeling on the ground, feeling extremely distressed. Aunt Xu followed closely behind, shaking her head gently.

Xiao Cheng took a step back at the right time to give the Duke's wife some space. "Madam, it's the old lady who is angry."

The Duke's wife supported Yu Caiwei, her eyes full of pity: "This child..." Before she finished her words, she heard a majestic voice coming from outside the ancestral hall, "What's going on?!"

The person who spoke was the old lady. She walked in with steady steps, followed by several guards. The atmosphere instantly became tense.

"Grandma, please listen to me." Seeing this situation, the Duke's wife hurriedly explained, "This child is just..." But she was interrupted by the old lady before she could finish.
