When the prince is reborn, he will only hit me if he doesn't hit the wall!

Just as Lu Yu was about to reply, someone outside the door announced, "Sixth Miss, the eldest lady is here to look for you. She has already entered the courtyard."

Xu Yuqiong and Lu Yu got to know each other at first sight: At this critical moment, Xu Baiyu came to visit, it seems that her plan can no longer be contained?

The sound of footsteps of soft-soled embroidered shoes was getting closer and closer. Xu Yuqiong put her index finger to her lips, made a gesture of silence, and made a few secret signals. Lu Yu nodded.

Then Lu Yu spoke, deliberately raising her voice: "Miss, don't be too sad. Even if the eldest lady said that, she must have meant it."

"I can't compare to her title of 'the most beautiful woman in Kyoto', but as a girl I have to maintain my dignity, how can I say such things?"

"Miss, you don't like the second lady, so just don't associate with her in the future. We are new here, our influence is not important, and the master's official position is not as high as that of the eldest master.

Just bear with it. Isn't there the young lady to protect you? Welcome, right?"

There was a slight rustling sound at the door, and the footsteps stopped one after another.

"Yes, only the eldest sister is a good person, who treats me sincerely and gives me so many jewelry. How can the second sister compare? She didn't give me any beautiful jewelry."

Lu Yu pointed at the door, indicating that the time was almost right: "Miss, please wipe your tears quickly. The second young lady will be here soon. Don't let her see it."

"okay."

After a while, a friendly voice called out from outside the door: "Sixth sister, I'm here to see you. I've brought you a gift."

Xu Yuqiong asked Lu Yu to open the door. When Xu Baiyu came in, she deliberately turned around while sitting on the couch and pretended to tidy up her face.

Xu Baiyu was secretly delighted, pretending to be surprised and walked forward to show concern: "Hey, what's wrong? Who made my sister unhappy?"

Lu Yu answered quickly: "It's still Erxiao..."

Before he could finish his words, Xu Yuqiong interrupted him with a sharp voice, "Lu Yu!"

The master and servant sang the same tune. Xu Baiyu thought he saw through everything and pretended to comfort them casually: "Whoever makes my sister unhappy deserves to die."

This was a bit serious. Xu Yuqiong looked up, her eyes full of fear: "Sister, don't say that!"

"I know this even if you don't tell me. There are only a few sisters in this mansion, and the two younger ones are just girls. I think the only one who can make you so angry and sad is your second sister."

"..."

Xu Yuqiong lowered her head again and remained silent.

Xu Baiyu thought she had agreed, raised the corner of his lips, and took out a palace invitation from his arms: "This is the invitation to the Queen Mother's birthday banquet in the palace. Yes, I specially asked the noble sisters to ask for an extra copy for my sister."

Xu Yuqiong pretended to wipe her cheek with a handkerchief, and her lips could not help curling up under the handkerchief. "Xu Baiyu is so shameless. If she didn't know that it was Xu Mingxi who begged for her, she would have almost believed it. If she could beg, why didn't she have it herself?"

There are still rumors in Kyoto about what happened to Xu Baiyu some time ago. If you think about it, she still has that noble sister now.

This post was probably intercepted by the doorman, and someone was kind enough to deliver it to her.

I couldn't help but want to poke her: "Really? This post was given to me. Sister, you are so capable, why don't you go?"

Xu Baiyu cursed inwardly. If she didn't know that this little girl was stupid, she would have felt that this was a mockery of her.

He hesitated and replied, "I, I am in mourning, so it is inconvenient for me to attend the birthday banquet openly."

Xu Yuqiong was secretly sarcastic in her heart and was good at making excuses.

"Sister treats me so well, I don't know how to repay her!"

Xu Baiyu finally heard what he wanted to say and sat down next to her. "Do you think your sister treats you well?"

Xu Yuqiong's eyes sparkled with tears. She nodded vigorously, playing the role of innocent and naive to the fullest. She followed her words: "If sister wants me to do something, I will do my best to help her."

"Actually, I do have a small request, I wonder if you are willing to agree to it."

Xu Yuqiong looked at her unconsciously: "Sister, you say."

"I actually wanted to go to the birthday party, but as you heard, I am in mourning and I am afraid it is not convenient for me to go openly. But I miss my sisters and want to take this opportunity to see them."

Xu Yuqiong almost wanted to roll her eyes. She really thought she was stupid and made such a bad excuse!

"Sister!" Xu Yuqiong's eyes widened, and she shook her head like a rattle: "If you go there without a post, you will be punished!"

"I know, so I thought, please ask my sister to help me."

"How can I help you?"

Xu Yuqiong was really curious now, what idea could he come up with to sneak in.

"It's not difficult. When the time comes, I will pretend to be your maid and follow behind you, and then I can go in with you."

Xu Yuqiong and Lu Yu exchanged glances quickly. What's wrong with Xu Baiyu's brain? This method... is indeed a good one.

She had no way of refusing.

"You are a stranger, and your maid is also a stranger. I will dress you up a little. I have a treasured human skin mask. When I put it on, I guarantee that no one will recognize you."

Xu Baiyu didn't take Xu Yuqiong seriously enough that he couldn't even make up her excuse of how she could recognize her so-called "sister".

Xu Yuqiong raised her eyebrows. Xu Baiyu must have had a plan to sneak into the palace, and if she guessed correctly, it should be related to Xu Mingxi.

"Okay, this is not difficult. I promise my sister."

Xu Baiyu was so excited that he held Xu Yuqiong's shoulders with both hands: "Really? You are really my good sister!"

Xu Yuqiong smiled harmlessly: "Sister is also a very good person." But in her heart she was thinking about how to reveal this news to Xu Mingxi without leaving any trace or unintentionally.

If she helped Xu Mingxi in this matter, Xu Mingxi would definitely trust her more after the birthday banquet.

It is also more conducive to her plan.

"Sister treats me well, I always remember it in my heart."

Xu Baiyu moved closer to her and gave her Xu Yuqiong a few more instructions. Then he left the gift and walked out of the house leisurely.

Xu Yuqiong watched her leave meaningfully: Sorry, Xu Baiyu, you, the stepping stone, are about to be discarded.

At night, Xu Mingxi was about to go to bed when he suddenly heard a "dong" sound, as if something hit the window frame.

"Who!" Xu Mingxi stood up alertly, relit the candle, slowly moved to the window, pushed open the window, looked around, and noticed that there seemed to be a tightly tied ball of cloth under the window.
