"Miss, I wonder who that Fourth Young Master is. What a grand character." Yue Jun chattered non-stop along the way. She watched as Nalan Youyou fiddled with an unfamiliar pink handkerchief and couldn't help but feel a little surprised. "Miss, your handkerchief doesn't seem to be the same one you were holding when you came out."

"Hehe, it was given to me by Yu just now."

"Oh? Then does that mean that Miss has a handkerchief tied to that North Nuo Yu Bei? " Yue Jun was slightly surprised. They had only met once, so why did they tie a handkerchief together?

"Then Miss, did you give that Northern Miss your handkerchief?" Yue Jun said dumbly.

Speaking of which, Nalan Youyou felt a surge of anger. Her handkerchief was not given to Beiming Yu, but taken away by Beiming Gu.

When Beiming Gu walked out of the inn, he even waved the handkerchief in his hand, making it impossible for Nalan Youyou to catch him even if she wanted to.

"Miss? Miss, what's wrong with you? " Yue Jun looked at Nalan Youyou in a daze. She called out a few times in a soft voice, but there was no response, so she pushed Nalan Youyou.

"Ah?" "What's wrong?" Nalan Youyou froze for a moment. When she came back to her senses, she did not know what Yue Jun had just said, so she asked.

"Miss, we are here. Get off the carriage." Yue Jun gave Nalan Youyou a helpless look. She was really convinced by her mistress. She had already said it several times, but she still hadn't listened.

"Oh, then let's go."

Before Nalan Youyou even entered the mansion, it was already a complete mess.

"Is what you said true?!" The old lady in the brocade garden was so angry that her entire body was trembling. With a 'pa!' sound, the teacup in her hand was smashed to pieces, shocking anyone who saw it.

"If the madame doesn't believe me, you can ask Luo Yin." Nalan Jingjing's eyes were red as she kept wiping away her tears with a handkerchief. Seeing that the madame could not believe her, she pulled Luo Yin behind her and started crying once again. That soft look on her face made people feel sorry for her.

Seeing Nalan Jingjing pull her forward, Luo Yin rushed to the madame's side and wailed, "Old madam, what Second Miss said is true. Eldest Miss, Eldest Miss didn't even care about Second Miss and me when she threw us into the Bright Jade Pavilion."

"What's going on with this Youyou? She doesn't know etiquette. She doesn't even have the heart to bother about her own sister." The old mistress was playing with a sparkling jade bead in her hand. Even though she said this, her eyes never left the bead in her hands.

"Someone, go and invite the Eldest Miss over. Tell her that I have something to ask him." With a wave of her hand, the old mistress gestured for the servants to bring Nalan Youyou in.

"After a while, Nalan Youyou arrived late." Grandma, do you have any instructions for Youyou to come here? " Nalan Youyou walked up to the madame and knelt down meekly. She then lifted her head, revealing her devastatingly beautiful face to the madame.

"Youyou, Jingjing said that you left her alone in Mingyu Xuan to learn about this." The madame's eyes were still on the buddhist beads in her hands, and her indifferent expression startled Nalan Youyou.

What's wrong with this old lady? Why were his eyes so unfamiliar with her?

"Grandma, Youyou didn't do that." Nalan Youyou bowed deeply and explained to herself, "Please let Youyou report about this."

Nalan Youyou told them everything. She didn't tell them that she and Beiming Yu went to have tea. She just told them that she went out to drink some tea after she left.

Nalan Jingjing didn't allow Nalan Youyou to say that. "Big sister, how can you turn white into white like this? Nonsense, what little sister said was the truth. There wasn't even the slightest falsehood. Big sister, how can you do that?"

Nalan Jingjing started to cry again after saying that. She secretly used her wide sleeves to hide her tears, gesturing for Luo Yin to come forward and speak up for her.

Luo Yin rushed forward and pounced on the madame, wailing sorrowfully, "Old madam, what Second Miss said is all true. "Luo Yin didn't lie. Madame, please make the decision for Second Miss."

Seeing this, Yue Jun quickly kneeled in front of the madame. "Yue Jun was present at the madame's incident, so she was quite clear about the whole situation. Eldest Miss was right. Eldest Miss did not do such a thing to Second Miss. Please be clear, madame."

"Shut up!" Luo Yin and Yue Jun cried and complained to the madame together. The madame's face darkened and a trace of displeasure flashed across her eyes. Luo Yin and Yue Jun immediately shut their mouths. If they offended the madame, their lives would be much better.

"Youyou, as an elder sister, no matter what the reason is, it's not right to throw your own sister aside." The madame glanced at Nalan Youyou and said in a lukewarm tone.

"Youyou knows she's wrong." Lili looked at the madame with a strange expression. She did not try to defend herself anymore but bowed deeply and admitted her wrongs.

"Since it's wrong, then let it be your punishment. Maidservant Lin sent Eldest Miss to the darkroom to reflect on her mistakes." With just a word from the madame, Nalan Youyou was sent to the darkroom by Maidservant Lin. Yue Jun was sent to the darkroom together with Nalan Youyou to reflect on her request.

"Miss, Miss, are you alright?" Yue Jun took a step forward and stood beside Nalan Youyou.

Even though it was called a dark room, there was still light in the room. It was just a little dark, so he was used to it after staying inside for a while.

"I'm fine." Nalan Youyou raised her head and smiled gently. She looked at Yue Jun apologetically and said, "Yue Jun, I have implicated you."

"Miss, what are you saying?" Yue Jun became unhappy when she heard Nalan Youyou's words. Why did she feel that these words sounded so strange to her? It made her feel rather unhappy.

"Hehe, don't be angry. I'm sorry to see you locked up here with me." Nalan Youyou pulled Yue Jun over to let her sit beside her.

"Miss, you said that we didn't do anything wrong, and that what we said was the truth. Why do you think this old lady wouldn't believe us?" Yue Jun finally understood why this madame was acting this way.

Nalan Youyou laughed coldly in her heart, "Just now, the madame held a string of Jade Buddha Beads in her hand."

"Yeah, I saw it. Miss, what's wrong with that? " When Yue Jun knelt earlier, she saw the pure white Jade Buddha Bead in the old lady's hand. Was that not the old lady's item? What's strange?

"Yeah, a Jade Buddha Bead, that kind of jade that can be used to make buddhist beads is an ice jade. Although it is not considered a priceless jade, it is still not bad. With my Nalan Mansion's wealth, I can still buy it, but …"

"But what?" Yue Jun looked at Nalan Youyou with a puzzled expression.

"But do you think the madame would be willing to spend so much money to buy such a thing?" Nalan Youyou asked.

Yue Jun was stunned and thought for a moment. That was true. This madame was good at everything, just that she loved money. Although Nalan Mansion did not lack that much money, with the madame's personality, apart from the fact that their wages were not deducted, she did not need to save the rest of the money.

As for the things she had borrowed from her family, they were given to her by her family, as well as gifts from others.

No one came to visit these few days, so why did he add a new Jade Buddha Bead?

"Miss, it's Second Wife's gift!" Yue Jun thought for a moment and figured out the crux of the matter. Naturally, she figured out the reason behind all of this. However, the madame had locked them up without asking any questions.

"Hehe, you're really not stupid." Nalan Youyou looked at Yue Jun's expression and laughed. This Yue Jun was indeed a talented person. Otherwise, she wouldn't have helped her so much in her previous life.

"But, Miss, how can Second Wife act like this? We were clearly wronged, alright?" "It's good now!" Yue Jun's expression immediately darkened. This old lady really loves money as much as her life! For the sake of money, there was no distinction between right and wrong.

"Miss, you were clearly wrongly accused. Yet, the madame actually did such a thing. This is truly going a bit too far." Yue Jun pouted, her face filled with displeasure.

This old mistress had really fallen into his eyes.

"It's nothing. I just felt wronged. It's not that big of a deal." Nalan Youyou could see through it, but she was only locked in the darkroom for a day. This allowed her to clearly see some things.

It seemed like the madame only cared about money. She didn't care if you were her granddaughter or not.

This was good too, at least she didn't have to think about it too much. However, she still had to preserve her Nalan Family, at least she couldn't let Nalan Jingjing destroy this Nalan Mansion.

No matter what, this place still had her mother's memories. She couldn't let Nalan Jingjing destroy all of this.

"Miss, what do you think we should do now?" Yue Jun was a little scared. Everything else was fine, but she was afraid that she would be separated from the Miss. As long as she was not separated, everything else was fine.

"No problem, we'll be fine." Nalan Youyou smiled. Anyway, they only locked her up for a short period of time. Now that the empress dowager's birthday was approaching, they shouldn't do anything to her, right?

"Eldest Miss, it's time to eat." A man's voice came from outside the door. When Nalan Youyou heard this voice, she knew it was a voice from the mansion.

"Miss, the food is here, I'll go get it for Miss." Yue Junba took the food in front of her and respectfully placed it in front of Nalan Youyou. She swallowed her saliva and said, "Miss, hurry up and eat."

Nalan Youyou looked at Yue Jun, who was growling with hunger, and smiled helplessly. She tapped Yue Jun on her forehead and placed the dish in front of Yue Jun. "Eat if you're hungry."

"No, Yue Jun is not hungry. Miss, please eat first."

"Still saying that I'm not hungry? My stomach is growling like thunder. Stop pretending, hurry up and eat." Nalan Youyou smiled and passed the food to Yue Jun.

"Miss, even if you don't eat Yue Jun, you can't." Nalan Youyou was helpless. She knew that Yue Jun definitely wouldn't eat first if she didn't open her mouth. She could only pick up some food to eat before saying, "Alright, I've already eaten. You can eat now."
