Liang Hongwen dragged Pei Yi into the study room to write sugar recipes for the entire afternoon, and did not let her leave until dark.

Although the door of the study was open and passers-by could see what they were doing, Liang Hongwen dragging Pei Yi along had already been seen by everyone.

Now everyone in the mansion knew that Liang Hongwen was interested in this girl in purple.

Now that I have walked all the way holding her hand, it would be difficult for the girl in purple to be with someone else.

When Li Xia heard the news in her yard, she was so angry that she smashed a whole set of Ru kiln tea sets.

She was so angry that she wanted to find Zi Yi and slap her hard, but fortunately she was persuaded by the maids and servants around her.

Even though she didn't make the trip, Princess Yanghe was slightly distracted when she heard the news. In the end, she just sighed and said nothing.

When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Pei Shuo anxiously climbed over the wall and found Pei Yi's house.

"Sister, does he have any bad intentions towards you? Has he done anything to you? If he dares, I will kill him now."

In Pei Shuo's mind, no one could do anything improper to his sister. Even Zhao Mingbo, who was engaged to his sister, didn't dare to do anything in front of him.

At this moment, Pei Shuo only hated himself for being too incompetent and unable to protect his loved ones. He could only watch his sister fall from a high and mighty noble lady to a slave and suffer such humiliation.

The more Pei Shuo thought about it, the angrier he became, and he wished he could cut Liang Hongwen into pieces.

Pei Yi went to hold him back: "Don't mess around, he might have some kung fu skills, you may not be his opponent."

Pei Yi's understanding of Pei Shuo's kung fu still remains at the time when he left the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion. If it were the Pei Shuo of that time, he would naturally not be able to beat Liang Hongwen.

But now, things are completely different.

Pei Shuo said: "You should come with me now. If you stay any longer, I'm afraid you will have many troubles."

Pei Yi thought about it and was about to leave, when suddenly someone entered the yard, anxiously looking for Pei Yi.

Pei Yi was afraid of attracting the guards, so he had to go out and deal with it first.

She asked Pei Shuo to go back first and think of another solution.

Pei Shuo gave her a packet of medicine and said, "I really have no choice but to take this medicine to pretend to be sick. Don't worry, it's harmless to your body, it just looks serious. When the time comes, I will say that this disease is contagious. Pingxi Marquis Mansion can't keep you anymore at this time."

This is a bad plan, and Pei Shuo doesn't want to do it either, but the situation is beyond his expectations. Pei Shuo really has no other choice, so he is prepared to use this.

Pei Yi nodded as he took the medicine and told him to hide it, then got up and followed the girl out to meet Princess Yanghe.

When Pei Shuo left, he felt that there seemed to be more guards in the yard. He felt a little uneasy, afraid of alerting the enemy and being discovered, so he had to leave in a hurry.

After going out, he felt that someone was following him, so he could only hide anxiously, wanting to see who was following him.

The result was nothing.

Pei Shuo wondered if he was hallucinating, but just to be on the safe side, he took a long detour before returning home.

Princess Yanghe called Pei Yi because she had a nightmare at night and felt uneasy after waking up. Nanny Han was worried that the princess dreamed of the last encounter with the pirates. It was not easy to ask the guards to come in and guard the door, so she called Pei Yi and asked her to keep watch. Pei Yi saw that it was not a big deal, so she stayed on the couch outside all night.

The next day, when they saw Guiyuan, they noticed that there was something wrong with her eyes. Even the maids and old women in the whole yard, who usually talked and laughed, seemed a little weird when they saw her today.

After finally finding a chance, Pei Yi pulled Guiyuan and asked her what was wrong.

Gui Yuan hesitated and gritted her teeth, "Sister, please don't ask me."

Pei Yi gave T a bag of candy: "Since I came to this mansion, besides Nanny Han, you are the one who treats me the best. If I have offended you in any way, I will apologize to you. Can you please not bear a grudge against me?"

When Guiyuan heard her say that, she felt a little guilty, "Aiya, Sister Ziyi, you didn't let me down, it's just..."

"What is it?"

"It's because the prince took you for a walk yesterday, and now it's all over the mansion. Everyone says that you've married into a rich family and will become a concubine in the future. There are quite a few maids in the mansion who like the prince. Haven't you seen that every time they see the prince, they dress up gorgeously and walk in a way that makes them want to twist their bodies into a knot? But the prince doesn't have a maid to serve him, and only servants come in and out, but they treat you differently. Not to mention my cousin, any maid who is even slightly pretty is jealous of you."

Pei Yi smiled: "Could it be that you also..."

"I didn't." Guiyuan pouted, "It's my elder sister. She said you were a foxy woman who deliberately seduced the prince. No wonder the cousin wanted to beat you last time. I was so angry that I had a quarrel with her. She said I was a traitor and she didn't want to acknowledge me as her sister anymore."

Guiyuan felt a little aggrieved when she spoke, Pei Yi said: "Everyone likes the prince, why don't you like him?"

Guiyuan shook her head: "What's so good about the prince? I think he is a person who smiles with his lips but not his heart. Anyway, I am scared every time I see him. I don't like him. He is not even as interesting as Brother Xi in the kitchen."

Ah Xi is a cook in the kitchen. He follows his master and helps in the kitchen at Pingxi Marquis' Mansion. His cooking skills are pretty good.

It’s normal that Guiyuan, the girl, loves to eat and likes Ah Xi, the cook.

After what happened yesterday, Pei Yi thought he would be in trouble, but he didn't expect the trouble to come so quickly.

This reminded her of the days when the selection of beauties was held in the palace. Those people were obviously very jealous, but they did not dare to act openly and could only use shady tricks.

Pei Yi, if she continues like this, she will definitely get into trouble, and she really can't stay in this place anymore.

In the evening, she took the medicine given by Pei Shuo. That night, she developed a fever and a rash and felt extremely uncomfortable.

After Guiyuan found out, he hurried to find Nanny Han.

Seeing her condition, Nanny Han was afraid that she had smallpox, so she quickly sent someone to call a doctor and did not allow anyone to approach her.

Princess Yanghe was also surprised when she heard the news, but she only told Nanny Han, "If she is not well, move her to the manor temporarily and have someone take good care of her. She can come back when she recovers."

Nanny Han also thought so. No matter whether the maid in the mansion was suffering from a minor or serious illness, as long as she was not feeling well, she could not continue to stay in the mansion to serve, so as not to pass the disease on to the master.

She was prepared to let someone make the arrangements, but the doctor hadn't arrived yet and Liang Hongwen arrived first.

He brought people in and took Pei Yi's pulse directly.

He was even completely unbecoming and insisted on staying in the servants' room.

With such behavior, Pei Yi couldn't deny anything at all.

Pei Yi was dazed, and when she saw Liang Hongwen, she felt nervous and uncomfortable. "I am very ill, please allow me to go outside to recuperate, so as not to pass on my illness to the master and harm others."
