On the way, Ye Hongyi's path was unobstructed. Just when Lin Qing thought that they would smoothly pass through, a group of guards suddenly appeared in front of them, surrounded by a rather beautiful woman.

When he saw who it was, Ye Hongshui, who had been calm all along, couldn't help but change his facial expression.

"Sister Ni`er, why did you come out today? I didn't go to the lord's place." Ye Hongyi hurriedly walked over and said with a smile.

Chen Ni`er stopped her steps, and the guards behind her naturally stopped as well.

"Oh, Darling is a bit busy today, so Ni`er can't bear to let him worry about me." Chen Ni`er said with a touch of gentleness, her voice full of tenderness.

"Then elder sister Ni`er is really good to adults." Ye Hongyi smiled as he spoke.

"Oh, right, red-clothed little sister, how did you have the time to come out today? Normally, you rarely go out." Chen Ni`er did not comment on Ye Hongyi's words, as if she had thought of something. She could not help but look at Ye Hongyi with doubt hidden deep within her eyes.

"I was too bored staying in my room, so I came out to take a walk." Ye Hongyi smiled and casually said.

"Oh, it just so happens that I have the time today to accompany the red-clothed little sister. I believe that the red-clothed little sister doesn't mind, right?" Chen Ni`er smiled and said.

Ye Hongyi's face changed when he heard this. However, he concealed it well, so no one noticed anything amiss.

"Of course!" Ye Hongyi forced a smile and said.

"Oh, right. Little Sister Hong Yi, where do you want to go today?" Chen Ni`er asked casually.

"I'm just going to take a stroll outside. I won't go too far." Ye Xiao said as he scanned his surroundings.

"The mansion hasn't been peaceful for the past few days, so we can't go too far. If something happens, it won't be good."

"Mhm mhm, this red-clothed person naturally understands." Ye Hongyi nodded his head to show that he understood.

Seeing Ye Hongzhuang act like this, Chen Ni`er smiled as well, then walked up to hold Ye Hongzhuang's hand as if they were intimate with each other.

The soldiers following behind them didn't dare to relax. After all, the mansion hadn't been peaceful for the past few days. If something were to happen to the two madams, their heads wouldn't be kept.

Lin Susu kept her head down as she followed behind Ye Hongyi. However, no one cared about her existence.

"The scenery here is pretty good. It's been a long time since I last saw it, but it's been a long time since I last saw it," Chen Ni`er said with a sigh as she walked to the area outside the Chen Estate where the peach blossoms were blooming.

"She is indeed quite beautiful," Ye Hongyi casually agreed. However, his mind was not on the nearby scenery at all, but rather thinking about how to escape from Chen Ni`er.

Seeming to have sensed something, Chen Ni`er couldn't help but look at Ye Hongyi. Seeing his expression, she seemed to have thought of something, and the smile on her face also became cold.

"I'm afraid the red-clothed girl isn't here to see the scenery today, right?" Chen Ni`er suddenly said with a cold tone. There were even a few traces of killing intent hidden in the depths of her eyes.

Ye Hongyi's complexion also involuntarily changed, but he forcefully restrained his emotions and coldly said, "I wonder what Elder Sister Ni'er's intentions are for saying these words?"

"If you wanted to see the scenery, your thoughts would not be like this," Chen Ni`er said coldly.

"Regardless of what the red-clothed little sister is thinking, please still remember, this place is the Chen Residence. As for you, the red-clothed little sister, you are the woman of the lord. Don't mess around!"

"Of course I know this. There's no need for big sister Ni`er to worry," Ye Hongyi said coldly.

"Hmph."

A light sound came from Chen Ni`er's nose, then she said, "I know that the red clothed little sister has complaints about adults, but now, you are an adult's woman. As the saying goes, you can marry a chicken to a chicken, but you can marry a dog to a dog, so why can't you let it go?"

"I understand, red-clothed." Ye Hongyi lowered his head and spoke softly. Even though he said that, his eyes betrayed her deeply. He had only used the space in which he lowered his head to look, but no one could see it.

"Moreover, adults have beautiful embroidery on their chest. Other than some small flaws, they are also first-rate talents. The red-clothed little sister should be treasured even more." Chen Ni`er lectured again.

Ye Hongyi nodded and said, "Sister Ni'er's words are true."

"Hmph. It's good that you know. Ni`er, tonight, you will be grinding for Milord, so I'll be leaving first. However, I hope you remember my words today!" Chen Ni`er said again.

"Red clothes understand. Red clothes will naturally grasp proper etiquette." Ye Hongyi could only say this, but his heart was slightly relieved. He knew that since Chen Ni`er said this, she probably didn't discover his secret, so he felt relieved.

Seeing Ye Hongyi's expression, Chen Ni`er was very satisfied. Just as she was about to leave, she couldn't help but look at Lin Susu who was standing behind Ye Hongyi, dressed in the attire of a maidservant.

"Oh, that's right. Who is this maid? Why haven't I seen her before?" Before leaving, Chen Ni`er casually asked.

Although Lin Susu was trying her best to reduce the feeling of her existence, her natural looks and temperament were not that much less dressed up. Furthermore, Ye Hongyi's disguise technique was not very good either. It was within reason that people would pay attention to him.

Hearing Chen Ni`er's words, Ye Hongyi's expression also changed slightly, but he was still forcefully controlled by her as he faintly said, "This is the maid that had been dressing me a few days ago. Since the inner chamber, Ni'er has not seen this servant for many times, so it is normal for her to not know this servant."

Although Ye Hongyi quickly controlled the change in his expression, it was still noticed by Chen Ni`er.

Seeing this, Chen Ni`er became even more suspicious. With a slight movement, she smiled and said, "I just happen to be lacking a person in my room. I feel like this person is pretty good. Why don't you lend it to me for a few days?"

If Lin Susu was really called into Chen Ni`er's room, the chances of her being discovered by Chen He was extremely high. No matter what, Ye Hongyi would never let this happen.

"I'm afraid that won't do. I still have a lot of things that I need to do. After some time, I'll lend it to you to use for a while." Ye Hongyi could only reluctantly speak.

However, the more Ye Hongyi was like this, the more the doubt in Chen Ni`er's heart grew.

"I'm afraid that this won't do. My lord also needs some helpers these few days, so I think that this maid is very suitable. The red-clothed little sister will temporarily endure for a few days. I believe that before long, I'll send her back."

As she spoke up to this point, Chen Ni`er had already brought along a very unyielding tone. She no longer had the time for Ye Hongyi to reject her.

Ye Hongyi's face turned extremely ugly when he heard these words. He clenched his fists and coldly said, "Sister Ni`er, don't go too far!"
