C63 Misunderstanding

Qing He was once again frightened by Lin Ruo Xi's words, and her face gradually turned ashen. However, she was not stupid. She quickly knelt down and said to Lin Ruo Xi, "Miss, since Qing He has followed you since young, I will be your servant. I will never betray you."

Lin Ruo Xi was very satisfied after hearing this, but she still said with a straight face, "Since that's the case, you should train your courage. Go and throw this mouse away."

After Qing He heard this, she was about to leave with the cage in her hand. She was stopped by Lin Ruo Xi, "Use your hands."

"Miss…" Qing He did not dare, but when she saw Lin Ruo Xi's expression that did not have any room for negotiation, she still braced herself and closed her eyes. She used her two fingers to pinch the mouse, resisting the disgust in her chest, and quickly ran out of the room.

Lin Ruo Xi looked at Qing He's figure and only smiled contemptuously. Then she started to study the pomegranate.

When Xiao Bei heard that someone was coming out, he quickly hid in the dark. Only when Qing He ran out of the courtyard did he realize who it was. He felt that the saying that the most vicious woman was the one who was the most heartless was not wrong at all. This Lin Ruo Xi had really lost her humanity.

After knowing everything, Xiao Bei could not pretend that he did not know anything. He immediately ran back to Lin Ruo Yin's courtyard and coincidentally bumped into Lin Ruo Yin who had just returned from Grand Lady's visit. He did not care about anything else and went up to stop her.

"How dare you block the Third Miss's way?" Hong Mei shouted loudly because the sky was too dark.

"Third Miss, please forgive Xiao Bei for being reckless, but I really have something urgent to tell you." Xiao Bei bowed respectfully, but his eyes were still neither humble nor overbearing.

Lin Ruo Yin remembered that he had helped her many times before, and she was grateful. However, when she thought about how he treated her in the pavilion the last time, she felt uncomfortable. She did not act impulsively and let Lv Yu and Hong Mei go back first, while she stayed at the entrance of the courtyard.

"Why? Why didn't you hide from me tonight?" Lin Ruo Yin's words were sharp. Although she did not understand why she did this.

Xiao Bei was obviously stunned by her words, but he quickly reacted and said, "Young Miss is joking. Xiao Bei is a servant in the Great Scholar's Mansion. How could he be able to hide from Miss?"

"You…" Did he say that she was making trouble?

However, Xiao Bei really did not mean that. Seeing that he did not know why he made Miss unhappy again, Xiao Bei frowned and stood still.

Lin Ruo Yin also quickly adjusted herself. She did not understand why she had such a strange temper. Seeing that he was standing still and did not look at her, she asked, "Why did you come to find me so late?"

Only then did Xiao Bei remember his main purpose. However, he couldn't say that the Eldest Miss wanted to harm you, so he turned to Lin Ruo Yin and said, "Eldest Miss, Xiao Bei heard that the Grand Lady is going to the nunnery in two days to offer incense. Don't you have a lot of troubles recently? Why don't you follow the Grand Lady and stay there for a few days? It will definitely benefit you greatly."

He didn't rest at night just to tell me these things? Lin Ruo Yin turned around and stared at him. She really couldn't understand what he meant. She waved her hand and said, "It's not up to you to care about my matters. Go down."

Xiao Bei frowned. Seeing that Lin Ruo Yin was about to enter the room, he quickly added, "Eldest Miss, please think about it."

Lin Ruo Yin ignored him and pushed the door open to enter the room. Seeing that she was ignoring his opinion, Xiao Bei felt a little annoyed. However, what he could do was only this. As for whether she could understand it or not, that was another matter. Thinking about it like this, Xiao Bei felt a lot more relaxed and turned to leave.

"Eldest Miss, what did Xiao Bei say to you?" Lv Yu saw Lin Ruo Yin return and asked curiously.

Lin Ruo Yin didn't have any thoughts at all. She shook her head and let them serve her to bathe. She laid on the bed and thought about what Xiao Bei had said.

He wouldn't come here for no reason to tell her about these things. According to the previous few times, he had to know something, but he couldn't say it out loud. That was why he used this method to remind her.

Why did she go to the nunnery with the Grand Lady? Lin Ruo Yin thought about the matter of Lin Ruo Yun poisoning her. A thought suddenly appeared in her mind. Could it be that someone in the mansion wanted to harm her? And Xiao Bei knew about it, so he specially came to remind her.

Thinking about this, Lin Ruo Yin felt that her attitude towards him was really too inappropriate. He had kindly come to tell her, but she treated him as a donkey's liver.

"Miss, what are you thinking about?" Seeing the Miss's happy and sad expressions, Lv Yu couldn't help but ask.

Even Hong Mei wanted to know. She put down her cleaning movements and walked to Lv Yu's side to stand still.

After being interrupted by Lv Yu, Lin Ruo Yin no longer thought about Xiao Bei. She was completely focused on the matter of someone trying to harm her. She said to Hong Mei He Lv Yu, "You two help me clean up. After this, I will follow Grand Lady to the nunnery."

"Miss, why do you suddenly want to go to the nunnery?" Hong Mei felt that the matter was not simple. Otherwise, Miss would not have made such a decision. It was related to the servant from before. Although she had an idea, Hong Mei was very smart and did not ask anything.

Lin Ruo Yin did not want to say too much. She only instructed, "The two of you don't ask too much. Just do what I told you to do. Also, pay special attention to it for the next two days. Don't let your guard down."

"Yes." Seeing that Miss didn't want to ask more, the two maids shut their mouths.

Lin Ruo Yin was also very satisfied with the two maids. She said, "You two should also pack up and come with me."

When Lv Yu heard that she could go out, she was overjoyed. She pulled Hong Mei's arm and said, "That's great, Big Sister Hong Mei. Ever since I came to the Shanhai House, I haven't been out much. Now, I can go out and take a look."

Hong Mei was also affected by her excitement. Although she was two years older than Lv Yu, she had never been out before. Even if she went out, she would only go out to help her master. She couldn't afford to waste too much time. This time, she followed Miss to the nunnery and saw a lot of new things along the way.

"Alright, isn't it just going out of the house? Why are you so happy? It's getting late, let's go back and rest." Lin Ruo Yin usually wouldn't let them stay on the night shift. Seeing that it was getting late, she sent the two away.

The next two days passed by peacefully. Lin Ruo Xi and Lin Ruo Yun didn't cause any trouble. Lin Ruo Yin had already told Grand Lady that she wanted to go to the nunnery with her to offer incense. She said that she wanted to pray for her father and her deceased mother. When Grand Lady heard this, she felt grateful for her filial piety and agreed.

Therefore, when Lin Ruo Xi saw Lin Ruo Yin come out with her luggage, she couldn't help but ask, "Sister, where are you going?"
