In the capital, General Yuâs Mansion was not considered to be a big house . Although Yu Qianfang and Yu Qianliu are both ladies of Yu Mansion, they do not have separate courtyards . Instead, they live in the same courtyard arranged by Mu Shi . Yu Qianfang lived in the east wing, and Yu Qianliu lived in the relatively spacious west wing .
Yu Qianfang and Yu Qianliu live near to each other, and their relationship is even closer . Small conflicts are inevitable, but they usually can be considered decent to each other . With Yu Linglong as the common enemy, the relationship between the two sisters has become much closer .
Early that morning, Yu Qianfang was awakened by the noise on the opposite side and got up lazily . She called the little maid to serve her and asked, âWhat is the noise outside and why is it so loud?â
The little maid replied, âItâs Third Sister going to greet the lady . This morning, people were asked to fetch water to clean up and find clothes . The people over there are so busy!â
Yu Qianfang frowned slightly . Mu Shi had always ignored the concubines . Why would Yu Qianliu suddenly want to go there today?
Thinking of the situation she set up last night, Yu Qianfang suddenly sat up: âHurry up and fetch me water, Iâm going to see Third Sister . â
Soon, Yu Qianfang went out with a personal maid, Chunyan .
As soon as she left the house, she saw Ling Jiao walking quickly from the corridor with a basin of water .
Yu Qianfang winked at Chunyan behind her . Chunyan knew, and hurriedly raised her voice and said, âWhere are you going in such a hurry?â
Ling Jiao stopped and said with a smile, âThe maid was busy bringing water to the lady, but she didnât see Second Sister . The maid greeted Second Sister . â
Yu Qianfang nodded reservedly, and asked knowingly, âWell, why are you so busy? Is Third Sister going out?â
Ling Jiao smiled and said, âIn response to Second Sister, our miss is going to get dressed and go to up and visit the lady . â
Yu Qianfang frowned slightly when he heard the words . Mu Shi never wanted to see these concubine young ladies . She thought they were all an eyesore . She had already told her to not visit her most days if nothing important happened . Today, Yu Qianliu was tormented . She was eagerly going to greet Mu Shi, but wasnât she afraid to annoy her? What is going on?
The more Yu Qianfang thought about it, the more she thought something was wrong, and when she looked at Ling Jiao, her face was strange, and she couldnât help but be suspicious .
If it is Mu Shi who wants her concubine to go over and pay a visit, there is absolutely no reason why she would call Yu Qianliu but not Yu Qianfang, could it be that...
Ling Jiao looked around, lowered her voice, and said something seemingly nonsensical, âIâm going to the lady, but Iâm passing by Pinlan Park!â
As soon as Yu Qianfang heard this, she was facing her own thoughts and couldnât help but smile . âI see . Go ahead, donât wait for the water to cool, or else Third Sister will blame you . â
Ling Jiao smiled and bent her knees to Yu Qianfang, then turned and left .
Looking at Ling Jiaoâs back, Yu Qianfang showed a smug smile .
It seemed that her strategy has been successful . Yu Linglong believes that the haunted person is Yu Qianliu . This is a trap and invites Yu Qianliu to put her in order .
Poor Yu Qianliu was dressed up with joy, but she was about to throw herself into the net .
Most days, Yu Qianliu relied on herself being slimmer than Yu Qianfang with a beautiful face . She often secretly mocked Yu Qianfang . Yu Qianfang has always held a grudge in her heart, remembering the last time Yu Linglong filled Yu Qianliuâs stomach with dirty water . Yu Qianfang felt very happy about the water issue . That time Yu Qianliu just cursed Yu Linglong, and Yu Linglong acted so ruthlessly . This time Yu Linglong would definitely not let Yu Qianliu go .
Anyway, Yu Qianliu and Yu Linglong had already broken up, so she just had to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight .
Thinking of this, Yu Qianfangâs footsteps were much lighter, and turned around: âGo, go back to eat, and later you can watch from the sidelines . â
Chunyan couldnât guess what was going on in Yu Qianfangâs mind, and said with a smile, âMiss really has a clever scheme . â
Yu Qianfang couldnât help showing the smile on her face anymore, and lightly nodded to Chunyan, âYou girl, you love trouble!â
The mistress and maid joked as they went back to the room .
...
In Pinlan Park, Yu Linglong was drinking tea leisurely, watching Xuan Cao carefully embroider a handkerchief under the window .
There are so many problems with ancient people . Itâs just a handkerchief . Itâs too much trouble to spend effort embroidering flowers and birds on it .
Xuan Cao embroidered for a while, then looked up at Yu Linglong anxiously, âMiss, who are we waiting for?â
This morning, Yu Linglong told her to make a big pot of tea, saying that she would wait for someone to come . It has been a long time now, but there was no sign of them coming .
Yu Linglong was in a rare good mood and said with a smile: âWhy are you so impatient? Just wait . â
As she was talking, there was a sudden noise outside, and Yu Qianfangâs angry voice could be faintly heard, âWhere are you, servants? I dare you to do anything to me!â
Yu Linglong stood up and said, âThe fish has taken the bait . Go out and take a look . â
Before going out, she casually picked up a pair of scissors from Xuan Caoâs needlework basket .
âMiss, what are you...â Xuan Cao looked at Yu Linglongâs face with fear, remembering the same expression before Miss last went to find Mu Shiâs accounting books .
âWhat are you afraid of, hurry, come out!â Yu Linglong said this without looking back, raising the curtain, and walking out .
In the courtyard, Yu Qianfang and her maid were being twisted by several cooks . Chunyan shouted: âYou are so brave, look who it is! This is Second Sister! Who is your mistress, didnât she teach you the rules?â
Before she could finish speaking, a cold voice rang: âI am their mistress!â
Hearing this sweet but chilling voice, Yu Qianfangâs heart trembled, and the movements of her hands suddenly became stagnant .
Itâs no wonder that these servants looked so stunned . They turned out to be the cooksâ Yu Linglong hired from outside . Of course, they didnât know who Yu Qianfang was . In their eyes, only Yu Linglong was their master!
Yu Qianfang responded quickly and immediately said, âChunyan, donât be rude!â
Turning her head, Yu Qianfangâs full moon-like round face showed a gentle smile . âIt turns out to be Fourth Sister, I was just coming to see my younger sister . ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
She just wanted to watch the excitement! Who knew that when she walked outside Pinlan Park, she would be twisted and pulled by some cooks? However, Pinlan Park had a reputation for being haunted, and no one dared to pass by it even in broad daylight . The mistress and servant resisted and shouted, but no one saw them .
Now, looking at Yu Linglongâs cold and pretty face that was like a Tianshan Mountain Snow Lotus, she couldnât help feeling nervous . She only hoped that all this was just a misunderstanding, so Yu Linglong would hurriedly let her go .
She has seen Yu Linglongâs methods, how dare she be half-hearted? She can only be gentler and more amiable, lest she provokes the tigress .
âMy sister has moved into the new courtyard . I havenât congratulated my sister on the housewarming yet . â Yu Qianfang said with a smile on her face, suppressing the anxiety in her heart .
âReally? I received your gift a long time ago,â Yu Linglong sat in the chair of the master chef that the kitchen ladies had just moved out . Looking at Yu Qianfang condescendingly, with a small face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, âLast night, Ling Jiao has already been delivered by you!â
