"That girl Chun Xi. Sooner or later, she will have to be eliminated, but now is not the time." Chun Xi was a member of the Bao clan, so it was not clear why they had sent her here. He might as well keep it for now. Otherwise, other than a Spring Festival, and another Spring Festival, how long will Aunt take? "

Aunt Mei nodded. "Since that's the case, let her live for a little longer."

Seeing that Aunt Mei's mood had gradually recovered, Roughpeak personally poured her a cup of tea and passed it to her. He said softly, "Aunt is a smart person. Previously, she was only blinded by regret. Now that the fog has been cleared away, many things can be seen clearly."

A grateful smile appeared on Aunt Mei's face. She took a sip of tea and said, "Thank you, young prefecture lord, for giving me such a hard time. It was like I had just awoken from a dream." All these years, he had truly been too muddleheaded. So much so that you have to suffer so much alone in the courtyard. "

"There's no need for Aunt to be like this," Cloudfall said earnestly. "If it wasn't for Aunt secretly helping me these past five years, I'm afraid that there wouldn't be even a single bone left in this place." "After leaving Roughpeak's heart, I am still extremely grateful to my aunt."

A gratified smile appeared on Aunt Mei's face. "I've let you down after all."

Hearing Aunt Mei's words, Cloudburst knew that Aunt Mei had not yet fully resolved the knot in her heart. He joked with all seriousness, "It's already so far, there's no point in talking about it." If Aunt really feels that you owe me, then you might as well start from now on and cheer up, and properly avenge my mother's death.

"Revenge?" Auntie Mei looked at Yun Wefeng in shock, shaking her head in disbelief. "Wasn't Princess' illness so severe that she couldn't be cured?"

The corner of Cloudfall's lips curled up into a cold smile as he said, "Everyone said that Mother passed away from a serious illness. But Aunt should know, my mother is a martial artist, her body is much stronger than ordinary people. How could he suddenly die from a serious illness? From the time his mother fell ill until her death, it had only been a short month, and could be said to be a sudden and violent death. On the third day after her mother's sudden death, she hastily buried her son, not waiting for her father to return home to investigate the cause of her death. Whether he died from a serious illness or not was up to the Bao clan. He hated me for being young and cowardly at the time, so he didn't think about it at all. Now that I think about it again, there are many points of doubt. "

Aunt Mei said guiltily, "If I had …"

Before Aunt Mei could finish, Roughpeak cut her off. "Don't mention what happened at the beginning. The most important thing now is to find out what happened that year." When his mother was alive, he had been the closest to his concubine. She tried to recall what had happened to his mother during that period of time. Also, if mother was framed, then mother must have a spy by her side. Those who served the Golden Phoenix Restaurant back then, their families, backgrounds, and the people who came here today, please help me investigate. "

It was as if Aunt Mei had found her pillar when she saw how determined Yun Feng was to kill her. She was also filled with a sense of despondency for many years now. She said seriously to Yun Feng, "Don't worry, young prefecture lord. I'll definitely deliver all the information she has to her within three days."

Cloudfall smiled and nodded. "Aunt's work is still as efficient as ever. However, this matter cannot be rushed. We have plenty of time to investigate it slowly." The thing that is most worried about now is your body, Aunt. "

Aunt Mei was a bit embarrassed as she ran a hand through her hair. "I'll have to trouble the Canton Princess to worry about that. Princess, don't worry. I've just been thinking too much these past few years. Now that the knot in her heart had been removed, the young prefecture lord returned. I can also work for the Canton Princess, so my spirits will be lifted soon. If we are to be honest, this illness is the sickness of being idle. When you start to busy yourself, it will naturally be better. "

Cloudburst looked at Aunt Mei with a smile that wasn't a smile and said, "Since Aunt has put it this way, you can set your mind at ease once you're out of the mountain." While she thought of Roughpeak, she also thought of herself. I was looking forward to my aunt giving Roughpeak a brother and sister. I believe that her grandmother would also very much like to see the house of the Marquis add another heir. "

"Princess, you …" Aunt Mei's face reddened a little, but she nodded quickly and said in a serious tone, "Master Hou's heirs are very thin, there's only the young prefecture lord and the young marquis. He should at least have a few more children. It was a pity that the Marquis had a deep affection for the princess and was unwilling to take her in as a concubine in the backyard. This has actually made the Old Mistress worry quite a bit. "

"Aunt's words are not true," he said with a wink and a smile. Father didn't want to take a concubine in the backyard, but isn't this a beauty? I remember that my grandmother had high hopes for my aunt. "

Aunt Mei was a smart person. She immediately understood the meaning behind Cloudmist's words. She smiled and nodded. "I understand what the young prefecture lord's words mean." I've heard that the old mistress' shoulder and neck have been hurting recently due to the cold air invading her body. I'll boil some soup for her and send it over to her every day. Speaking of which, it was also due to his years of contemplation and laziness that he had neglected the madame. From then on, Mei Ying served the princess with great filial piety. "

Seeing that Aunt Mei was finally willing to take the initiative, a relieved expression appeared on Cloudburst's face. "It's rare for Aunt to be so filial to her grandmother, regardless of her illness. If Grandmother finds out, she'll definitely be very happy. "

Aunt Mei said dejectedly, "It's been five years since I went to pay my respects to the madame. I'm afraid the madame has forgotten Mei Ying."

Cloudburst laughed and encouraged, "As the saying goes, 'when a person's heart is truly in his heart, the metal will be split into pieces.'. In the end, you are Father's only concubine in the backyard. No matter what, Grandmother will treat you well for Father and Mother. Grandmother's Senior Servant Du is a good person. If Aunt has anything she needs help with in Tzu An Hall, she can look for Senior Servant Du. "

When he came out of the Plum Garden, Yun Meng saw Chun Xi still kneeling at the entrance. The thick layer of snow had already covered her knees. Seeing two people coming out, Chun Xi's teeth chattered and her body trembled. She trembled as she said, "This servant knows her wrongs and begs for forgiveness, Third Young Miss."

From what Cloudmist knew, Chun Xi was not someone who would submit to any circumstances. She must have had some ulterior motive to be willing to suffer being here for such a long period of time.

After a while, Cloudfall couldn't figure out Spring Joy's intentions either. He could only tell Aunt Mei to be more careful.

It was snowing heavily now, and Merlin's plum blossoms looked fresh and ethereal under the cover of the wind and rain.

Rejecting the offer of Aunt Mei to accompany him, he walked alone in the plum forest with an oil-paper umbrella and a flower basket, enjoying the rare peace.

The best time to appreciate the plum was a snowy day, and the purity of the plum blossoms was fully displayed at this time.

Only the plum blossoms that stubbornly bloomed in the blizzard could be considered as the best of the plum blossoms.

As he walked out of Roughpeak, he cut off the branches, specifically picking out the freshly-bloomed plums. They were especially elegant and refined.

However, just a few plum blossoms had taken him an hour to escape the cloud.

Satisfied, he was about to pack up and leave when he heard a domineering girl say loudly: "Such a bold girl. She actually dared to come to Merlin to cut flowers on her own accord. Are you not afraid that she will break your hand?"

Yunlang had just returned to the house of the Marquis and didn't want to cause any trouble. He assumed that someone was scolding another girl and left while holding onto the mindset that this matter had nothing to do with him.

However, before he could even take two steps forward, a girl with red lips, white teeth, and a white oval face rushed up to him and pulled him, saying in a stern voice, "Hey, I was talking about you." Don't you know how to salute when you see our young miss? "

Being wrongly recognized twice in a day would make Cloudfall's temper go sour. He turned his head and looked at the girl with a sinister gaze, and said with a sneer, "I was wondering who it was. So it was Big Sis's Green Calyx. "I've heard that elder sister is the best at controlling her hands. I want to see who dares to break my hand and even force me to bow!"

The green calyx is Yunxiao Ling's first-class girl, usually very good. Even in front of Yun Yuanyuan and Yun Xiangqin, Ye Xiao still acted like he didn't know what to say.

Yesterday, when they heard about Cloudburst Mountain's arrogance, they had secretly mustered all their strength, hoping to show off their might, and tell him that the current Hou Mansion was controlled by their Madam.

Before Green Leaf could say anything, Yun Xiao Ling, who wore a white fox fur coat, appeared and said in surprise, "I thought it was a servant girl coming to Merlin to cut flowers, but she didn't want to be my younger sister. The green calyx girl does not know what to do, to run into the sister, still ask the sister to forgive. Even Grandmother praised her little sister, saying that she had inherited the princess' aunt's identity and that her behavior was similar to that of the capital's Duke Mansion. She was especially generous to her servants, so she shouldn't have the heart to criticize Green Calyx too harshly, right? "

What Yun Xiaoling said was watertight. Not only had she brought the madame out first, she had even brought out the mother of Roughpeak Cloudsoaring. She even brought out the entire Residence of Prince Duan.

He had expected that under the pressure of these three great mountains, Cloud Traversing Through Roughs wouldn't dare to go overboard.

It had to be said that Yun Xiailing was indeed very smart, but she was way too clever. If she wanted to protect her slave, it would be too hasty for her to suppress Roughpeak.

She always felt that it was just luck that had won the old mistress's favor last night. There would be a lot of time in the future, so she wasn't afraid that she wouldn't have the chance to clean up the mess.

It had been easy for him to grab the opportunity today. Naturally, he had to ruthlessly go down to the clouds to escape the face of Roughpeak.

Just as Yun Xiao Ling was feeling pleased with herself for being so smart, Cloudfall sneered and said, "Big Sis's ability to flaunt flowers really makes you feel ashamed of yourself. The difference between a noble's residence and a noble's residence was due to the difference in status. Green Calyx had offended her sister, so on account of her elder sister, she naturally could not go against her. But big sister should also feel heartache and pity for her little sister, standing up for her little sister. What Grandmother loves the most is her sister's manner of understanding the general situation. "

Yun Xiailing's expression changed. Just as she was about to open her mouth to speak, Roughpeak suddenly spoke up, "Oh, I forgot. Second Uncle was born out of a concubine, so is Eldest Sister." With the upbringing of Second Aunt's daughter, she probably doesn't know the rules of our marquis' courtyard yet. It didn't matter. When they were young, they were raised by the mother of a princess from the Royal Mansion in the capital. They were raised by their grandmother for a full ten years. Even though he had left the house of the Marquis for five years, the rules that his grandmother handed to him had fused with his blood and bones. Why don't you give Roughpeak School's eldest sister a lesson? How can you punish those disrespectful servants? "
