C17 Deep in the Courtyard

Yue Xier looked at Lianshuang and her pretty brows slightly wrinkled before slowly loosening.

Last night's matter, if it wasn't for the nonsense of the girl in front of her, she wouldn't have acted like this. Remembering the injuries she suffered in Qian Jiao Pavilion, her hatred towards Lianshuang became deeper and deeper.

"Little aunt want some water?" The corner of Lianshuang's lips slightly curled up as she stretched out the water bottle in front of Yue Xier. Her clear eyes were bright and charming.

"Thank you..." Yue Xier suppressed the disgust in her heart and put on a bright smile. She stretched out her hand and was about to take the water bottle that Lianshuang handed over.

Just as her hand reached out and her hand did not touch the water bottle, Lianshuang's hand suddenly loosened and the water bottle fell to the ground and sprinkled all over Yue Xier's body.

"You!" Yue Xier angrily stared at Lianshuang and the flames of anger burned in her eyes. She looked like she wanted to eat the person in front of her alive.

"Don't think that no one knows about your dirty thoughts. If you dare to hurt mother again... I will definitely make you pay back double!" Lianshuang looked down at Yue Xier who was sitting on the ground with a cold gaze. It was as if she wanted to freeze Yue Xier.

Yue Xier was stunned and stared at the girl in front of her in shock. It was a long time before she regained her senses. She originally thought that everything was flawless. How could it be?

Lianshuang expressionlessly looked at Yue Xier's changing face. Without waiting for Yue Xier to reply, she had already turned around and left.

The small and delicate back view fell into Yue Xier's eyes. Such a weak girl. The words that she just said made one's hair stand on end.

The coldness that came from the wet part of her dress reminded Yue Xier that everything just now was not an illusion.

The sun rose and the morning sunlight dyed the entire cloud and the fragrant breeze that blew on the ground made one feel relaxed and relaxed.

The majestic group of people was about to start their journey again. It only took half a day to return to the place where the nightmare originated. Thinking of this, Lianshuang's heart felt like it had flipped over a bottle of five flavors and the five flavors were mixed together.

They finally arrived at the bumpy road. The carriage stopped in front of an imposing mansion.

The large doors of the red carved flowers were wide open. The towering platform and the stone lions carved on both sides of the steps were exquisite and lifelike.

Someone went forward to pull open the curtains of the carriage and supported Lianshuang and Meiniang out of the carriage.

"Oh, this must be the Eldest Miss." Just as Lianshuang got out of the carriage, a sharp voice came crashing over. Looking up, it was a beautiful woman twisting her waist as she walked towards them.

She was wearing a bright red embroidered skirt and the peony flowers embroidered on the skirt were as beautiful as snow. Her hair was tied up, revealing her smooth and fair neck. Her eyebrows were like a painting. Her red lips were tender and alluring, and her almond eyes were overflowing with light.

Seeing the helplessness in Meiniang's eyes, Lianshuang smiled and stepped forward to help, "This older sister is really beautiful."

Lianshuang suddenly spoke and successfully shifted Madame Mei's attention to herself. Madame Mei looked at Lianshuang in shock and her eyes flashed and the smile in her eyes became even stronger.

The female child in front of her had red lips and white teeth. Her skin was as white as snow and she wore a pink dress. Her hair was tied in a light pink hairband and her eyes were as bright as the stars.

Although this girl was young, she already had this kind of appearance. When she grows up, she will definitely be a famous beauty.

"Your little mouth is so sweet. Then tell me, who are you?" Madame Mei smiled charmingly and reached out her hand to pinch Lianshuang's small face.

"I am Shuang." Lianshuang replied softly. The dimples on her cheeks became deeper and deeper. Her big eyes narrowed and curved into crescents.

"Mei'er, Shuang and the others are tired from the bumpy journey. Let them go back and rest first." Yue Hong walked forward and interrupted Madame Mei, who still wanted to ask more questions.

"Look at how happy I am. I actually forgot about this. Luckily the old master reminded me." Madame Mei patted her own forehead and gently smiled.

Yue Xier quietly watched this scene from the side. She felt that whether it was Madame Mei or Lianshuang's smile, it was particularly eye-catching.

"Quickly enter the house. The moment I received the old master's letter, I ordered the kitchen to prepare a large table of dishes." Madame Mei held Yue Hong's arm and was about to walk into the house.

Her eyes caught a glimpse of Yue Xier and Mrs. Lin. Her smile froze and she covered her mouth in a slightly frightened manner and said, "Mei'er was muddle-headed today. She actually did not see elder sister and second miss." After saying that, her eyes were filled with self-blame.

Madame Mei addressing Meiniang as Eldest Miss had already made Yue Xier's heart unhappy but now she heard that she was called Second Miss. Her heart was even more unhappy and only saw her beautiful brows slowly tighten. She looked at Madame Mei with eyes full of anger.

"I think that Aunt has been playing the role of the mistress of the house during these few days when Mother is not around. She must have forgotten about the Shu." Yue Xier said coldly. There was no warmth in her eyes. She looked like a crafty and mean person.

"Does Second Miss have any misunderstanding with Mei'er? Mei'er had never had such thoughts. Ah." Madame Mei looked at Yue Xier, feeling wronged. Her eyes were filled with tears. How pitiful.

Lianshuang could not understand the relationship between Madame Mei, Yue Xier and Mrs. Lin. Now that she saw the two opposing each other, she did not find it strange.

In her previous life, after hearing Yue Xier say too many bad things about Madame Mei, Lianshuang was deeply affected and did not have a good impression of Madame Mei. But when she saw Madame Mei again in this life, she felt that Madame Mei was not that hateful.

With Madame Mei around, it was not bad to be able to divert some of Yue Xier's attention.

Yue looked at the two people who were about to quarrel at the door and his face sank as he coldly berated, "What kind of manners are you making noise at the door! If you have anything to say, go home and say it!"

Yue Hong's words held weight. The quarrel between the two stopped. A group of people entered the mansion, surrounded by maids and servants. The door to the mansion was closed. The heavy sound of the door closing made Lianshuang stop in her tracks. She turned around and took a look.

From now on, this door was really separated by two worlds. This deep courtyard looked grand and magnificent but it was full of conspiracy. At this moment, she also had to start planning step by step for the sake of that protection.

After lunch, the servant girl led Meiniang and Lianshuang to an independent courtyard called Lan Garden.

Lan Garden was the easternmost courtyard and was also the only courtyard that was separated from the backyard. There were pavilions and waterside pavilions everywhere.

"After the miss went missing, the old master kept this courtyard and did not let anyone touch any of the decorations inside. Now, the young lady has finally returned. If the young lady was still here... I will definitely be very happy. " An old mama looked around her with watery eyes.

Lianshuang's expression paused when she heard this, "How did Madam die?" She pursed her lips and lightly glanced at Meiniang's reaction.

"Sigh, it's a long story. Madam died of depression after Miss went missing." The old mama touched the murky tears at the corner of her eyes and said with a choking voice.
