The next day, as expected, Song Yixiao’s request to meet her grandma was turned down. “Her elder ladyship hears that your ankle has been sprained so she is rather worried about you. She demands that you rest in the Xieyue Villa first and then serve her when you are recovered!”As her ankle sprain was mentioned again, Song Yixiao had a deep feeling of risk, “My relationship with Jian Xubai is not as deep as I mentioned yesterday! Once Liu Zhenxi and father finds out the truth, I will be doomed! Hence, I must meet her as soon as possible!”She calmed herself down and said to the maid who came to deliver the message, “I come back here in order to serve my grandma. How can I not visit her because of some insignificant illness of mine? There is no such thing in the world!”“I will convey your filial intention to her elder ladyship.” The maid said at ease, “But this time, her elder ladyship is sick in bed because she worries too much. If she sees you

In the drawing room, Yuan Xue’e, a ten-year-old girl, was sitting alone with her hand holding a tea bowl, praying in secret, “I wish this Miss Song is an easy-going person!”She and Song Yixiao entered Prince of Hengshan’s mansion on the same day but they never met with each other.Today, she was asked to pay her a visit by her brother Yuan Xuepei. “We are relatives of the prince, but our grandma and uncle both have their own lineal descendants. In this case, how much concern do you expect they can show for us? As a result, you shall not treat Auntie Wei impolitely.” Said Yuan Xuepei.That was to say, they would rather turn to the person-in-charge than rely on those of high status.Yuan Xue’e always listened to her brother so she certainly followed his advice accordingly.Yet, she was used to being bullied by her step-grandma and uncle when she was in the house of Marquis Boling, so she was inevitably anxious and fearf

Because Marquis Boling--Yuan Xuepei was carried back to the imperial capital.After receiving the news, Yuan Xue’e returned back to Marquis Boling’s mansion by riding without changing her clothes. When she arrived at Marquis Boling’s mansion, Jian Xubai had asked the Commissioner of the Imperial Academy of Medicine to treat Yuan Xuepei. But the result was a bolt from the blue for Yuan Xue’e, “His knees were broken at all, and I have no way to save his knees!”That was to say, Yuan Xuepei, who was only 20 years old and had not yet married or appointed an official, couldn’t stand up in his whole life!After confirming the result from the Commissioner repeatedly, Yuan Xue’e was shocked!It’s not until Jian Xubai sent the Commissioner and the elders of the Yuan Family who came to gloat over away that Yuan Xue’e came back from the trance, and then she asked the reason with tears, “Didn’t you say that Wuhuan dare not beat you? How could

Ji Su was clever enough to sense that something was wrong, he stepped forward to berate Madam Liang for her impoliteness, “Miss Song is invited by Marquis Yuan here to accompany Miss Yuan. Even though you are Marquis Yuan’s auntie, Marquis Yuan is the master here! As a senior, how can you offend a distinguished guest with foul words in your nephew’s house?”Informally dressed as he was, he talked in a sharp voice with no beard, who must be from the imperial palace according to his voice. Although he was a servant, as Madam Tu and Madam Liang were in the wrong, they didn’t dare to refute but to apologize to Song Yixiao reluctantly.Jian Xubai coughed then and said to Yuan Xue’e, “Your brother is looking for you. Go to him now!”Song Yixiao came here with Yuan Xue’e. Now that Yuan Xue’e was leaving, she wouldn’t stay either. Seeing them walking away, Madam Liang patted the desk and stood up, shouting through gritted teeth, “Mother, I cannot take

When Song Yixiao returned to the Embroidery Compound, Yuan Xue’e just got up. Yuan Xue’e found Song Yixiao came from outside, she felt confused and asked about the latter one’s whereabouts.“Jinxun felt like hanging around outside, so I took her out for a tour around the apricot forest. Unexpectedly, when we arrived there, Duke Jian had been there. Then we came back.” Song Yixiao talked about the ins and outs of the matter lightly, leaving out the person in the pavilion. “We didn’t sit there for long. I’m quite sorry for Meiyan and Qingruo’s effort.”“No need to feel sorry for that. You’ve regarded me as an outsider.” Yuan Xue’e, quite simple and candid, didn’t doubt what Song Yixiao said. After scolding her for a bit, she changed the topic then.However, that night, after Song Yixiao went to bath, served by Jinxun, Qingruo requested permission to meet Yuan Xue’e via Meiyan, saying, “When Miss Song was in the apricot forest today, Duke Jian ord
