The next day.

An uninvited guest arrived at Jiangyun Garden where Mingyao lived.

——Mingrong, who rarely visited me before, suddenly came today.

at that time.

Qian Shuang had just come back from work and was currently serving Ming Yao in the inner room.

Mingyao had a severe headache last night and didn't get much rest the whole night. She just called the court doctor to come and see her. After she took some medicine, she is resting inside.

Qianshuang is guarding inside now.

Yingyue was doing needlework in the outer room.

She has been with Mingyao for almost a month, but she is still not valued by Mingyao. She is never allowed to take care of the things around her and is only allowed to do some trivial chores.

She is a person who can keep calm. She doesn't seek to achieve anything, but only to avoid making mistakes.

Even though she was not trusted by her master, she still did her job obediently and never asked any questions. She just did whatever Mingyao asked her to do.

Suddenly, I heard a few surprised greetings coming from the yard outside.

Yingyue frowned slightly and raised her head.

At first she thought she had misheard until she actually saw the Fourth Young Lady coming in from outside in a gorgeous outfit.

Yingyue was quite surprised.

He did not bother to be surprised as to why the Fourth Young Lady came here suddenly. He only thought about the fact that the young lady had a headache all night yesterday, and he knew that it was absolutely impossible for the young lady to meet the Fourth Young Lady today.

I might as well not go in and cause trouble.

Yingyue put down the needlework in her hands and walked out, planning to find a way to send the fourth young lady back to where she came from.

"Fourth Miss."

She greeted Mingrong politely.

Mingrong glanced at her without saying anything. He looked inside and didn't see Mingyao, so he spoke.

"Where's Mingyao?"

Yingyue was secretly shocked by this title, but she didn't dare to show any expression on her face.

She still lowered her head humbly and replied to Mingrong: "The young lady had a headache last night. Doctor Chen just examined her this morning. She just drank the medicine and is still resting inside."

Her words were clear in meaning.

But Mingrong sneered after hearing this: "Tell her I have something to talk to her about."

After Mingrong finished speaking, he walked straight past Yingyue and went inside, completely ignoring the refusal that Yingyue had just expressed.

He walked in openly and brazenly.

Not to mention the little maids, even Yingyue, who was usually calm, opened her eyes wide in shock.

By the time she reacted, Mingrong was already three steps away from her.

"Miss Fourth!"

Yingyue turned around and looked at Mingrong who was about to enter the room. She couldn't control her voice for a moment, and was afraid that the girl inside would hear it, so she had to lower her voice and quickly chase after Mingrong.

I didn’t dare to do anything directly to Mingrong.

Yingyue's face was full of anxiety and panic. She followed Mingrong breathlessly and said in a low voice, "Fourth Miss, our girl is really sick and has no energy to see guests."

"Why don't you tell me what you want to say first, and I'll tell the girl later."

"With you?"

Mingrong stopped and turned around, glancing at Yingyue who looked anxious. She sneered, "You are not qualified yet."

Regardless of Yingyue's expression, Mingrong simply stretched out his voice and shouted, "Mingyao, come out, I have something to talk to you about!"

"Miss Fourth!"

Yingyue was really shocked by Mingrong's behavior.

She was angry and anxious, but it was obvious that she could no longer hide it now. Footsteps were heard from inside, and soon Qianshuang, with a gloomy face, lifted the curtain and walked out.

She first glared at Yingyue.

Yingyue turned pale and lowered her head when she was looked at by her.

There were outsiders, so Qianshuang didn't say anything to Yingyue at this time. She lowered the curtain and said to Mingrong in a low voice, "I wonder what the fourth young lady can do for you? Our young lady is sick and is resting. She doesn't have the energy to see anyone."

"If you have nothing else to do, go back first."

She was more direct than Yingyue, but Mingrong refused to leave today.

Not only did she not leave, she also sat leisurely in the seat where Mingyao used to meet guests.

Yingyue and Qianshuang both changed their expressions.

The two of them had the same thought in their minds: This fourth young lady must be crazy!

"Miss Fourth——"

Qian Shuang held back her anger and still wanted to talk to Ming Rong.

Mingrong suddenly took out something and put it on the table.

The thing was wrapped in red cloth. Although I couldn't see what was inside, based on its shape, I could guess that it was a hairpin.

When Yingyue saw this, she looked unharmed.

She didn't know what this was, and just looked at Mingrong strangely, wondering what the fourth young lady was going to do.

Qian Shuang's expression suddenly changed.

She stared at the red cloth with her eyes wide open in disbelief. She couldn't believe that the thing she had just given to Qian Rong in the morning was now in the hands of the Fourth Young Lady!

She calmed herself down in her heart.

Countless thoughts flashed through her mind. Maybe it was just a coincidence, or maybe she was just overthinking it, but her heart was still beating fast.

Qian Shuang clenched her hands tightly, feeling her whole body burning hot, but her blood almost cooled down, and her heart was so fast that it was about to jump out of her throat.

"Why, Miss Qian Shuang doesn't recognize you now?"

When she heard this, Qian Shuang felt her knees go weak and she almost fell down.

"you……"

She changed her name and her face turned pale.

"Sister, are you okay?" Yingyue was extremely surprised to see Qianshuang's expression suddenly change. Without thinking deeply, she hurried over to hold Qianshuang's arm.

Qian Shuang didn't look at her, but continued to look at Ming Rong who was smiling at her.

The momentum that had driven the guests away just now had completely disappeared. Qian Shuang's mind was blank and she was extremely panicked. She didn't know how much this Fourth Young Lady knew.

"Are you sure you want to talk to me like this?"

Mingrong glanced at Yingyue meaningfully.

After hearing this, Qian Shuang finally came to her senses.

It seems that the fourth young lady has no business coming to visit today.

She took a deep breath, looked at Yingyue who was still unaware of anything, and said, "Go out first, close the door, and keep an eye on the people outside. Don't let anyone come in."

When Yingyue heard this, she was extremely surprised.

She opened her eyes slightly, looked at Qianshuang, and then looked at Mingrong not far away.

But she knows her limits after all.

I also know that for some things, the less you know, the safer you are.

She quickly looked away.

"Yes."

As she spoke, she withdrew her hand, bowed in Mingrong's direction, and then turned and walked away.

Close the door.

Yingyue did not intentionally stay outside to eavesdrop, but stayed away from it obediently.

"Miss Fourth——"

Qian Shuang was very anxious at this moment.

As soon as Yingyue left, she immediately walked towards Mingrong: "This thing..."

She asked in a dry voice.

Mingrong sat in the chair calmly, and obviously had no intention of saying more to Qianshuang.

To her, Yingyue is not qualified, and Qianshuang is not qualified either.

"Tell your girl to come out and talk to me." After saying that, she glanced at Qian Shuang's embarrassed expression and sneered, "Or do you plan to let me take the things and the people and go to find my grandmother? Or... Ming Jin."

The last two words were said with a hint of smile, which seemed to hint at something.

Qian Shuang no longer had time to ask questions and her face turned pale immediately.

She swayed slightly.

Under Mingrong's gaze, Qianshuang was terrified. She knew that even if the Fourth Young Lady didn't know everything, she must have known some things.

I don't know exactly which step went wrong.

But Qian Shuang couldn't think about these things now. Under Ming Rong's impatient gaze, she said, "Are you not going yet?"

Qian Shuang gritted her teeth and said, "You'll be there later."

As she said this, she turned and walked into the inner room, but she still didn't know how to explain this to the girl.

I just feel that now that even the Fourth Miss knows about this, it's going to be a tough situation.

"what happened?"

Mingyao drank the medicine and fell into a drowsy sleep.

She had just heard some sounds vaguely, but had not heard them clearly. Now, seeing Qian Shuang coming in, she pinched her heavy brows, put the back of her hands on her eyelids, and asked in a hoarse voice.

I didn't hear Qian Shuang's voice.

Ming Yao frowned. Just as she took her hands away from her eyes and opened them, she heard a "thump" and saw Qian Shuang kneeling beside the bed.

Mingyao was surprised: "What are you doing?"

Seeing Qian Shuang's red eyes and thinking of the voice she had just heard, Ming Yao's heart suddenly tightened. She propped herself up and sat up, her heart tightening for a moment: "What happened?"
