After ten years of absence, the true daughter of the Song family, the Imperial Censor's household, has returned.
She has a hideous face and crude manners, resembling a country bumpkin or ...
Chapter 53 The Third Young Master is actually biased!
An hour later, Si Niannian stood in front of her newly made bed and suddenly realized what Nie Yuanyuan meant by her reminder before she left.
Her bed got soaked!
She had only been wandering around the cafeteria for a short while when her once neatly made bed was now as if it had been thrown into a river and floated around. The bedding was in disarray, the pillow was thrown on the floor, and there were several malicious footprints on the bed.
But the house was empty.
Outside the door, there were onlookers pretending to pass by, peeking in with schadenfreude on their faces.
This is clearly someone deliberately messing with Si Niannian.
Bai Feiyan was already known for her arrogance, and no one in the outer courtyard would be foolish enough to provoke her.
Si Niannian offended this person as soon as she arrived, and no one dared to speak up for her.
Qiu Shuang struggled to lift the dripping bedding, her face contorted with grief, and said, "Miss..."
"What should we do?"
It would take at least two hours to travel back and forth from here to the Song family's place, and there was no time to go back and get dry bedding.
They only brought this one set with them when they set off, and they didn't know where to start when they had to find something else since they were unfamiliar with the area.
Unfortunately, the nights are still quite cold lately, and it's unbearable without blankets.
Qiu Shuang was afraid that Si Niannian would take her back, and tears welled up in her eyes as she anxiously said, "Miss, should I go and beg the Second Miss?"
"Or..." Qiu Shuang suddenly remembered something and said excitedly, "This servant will go and beg the Third Young Master!"
Song Wu was the teacher here, and he could come and go without any restrictions. He was also accompanied by his page and servant.
If we act a little faster, we'll definitely make it before dark!
Si Niannian clicked her tongue and said lazily, "Fine, go and give it a try."
Qiu Shuang threw down the bedding and ran out without looking back.
Si Niannian glanced at the bed opposite her and mentally estimated the time it would take Qiu Shuang to come and go.
Song Wu returned a quarter of an hour ago.
From the moment Qiu Shuang found him to the moment he rejected her, it would take at least half an hour.
There wasn't much time, but it was enough...
Si Niannian suddenly turned her head, and the person peeking in from outside the door froze.
"What are you looking at?!" Si Niannian glared angrily. "Haven't you ever seen an ugly person before?!"
The person being yelled at was startled and, before they could even retort, was so shocked by the dull thud of the door being slammed shut that they took several steps back.
Si Niannian shouted through the door, "Get out!"
"Get out of here, all of you!"
There were a few clicks, which sounded like Si Niannian had locked the door.
The person outside finally realized what was happening and muttered a few words.
Si Niannian grabbed a teacup and threw it against the door: "Get lost!"
The moment the teacup shattered, Si Niannian covered her head and face with her cloak and climbed out through the open back window.
She ran into Bai Feiyan on her way back from the canteen.
If nothing unexpected happens, this is the direction!
In a small bamboo grove at the boundary between the outer and inner courtyards, Bai Feiyan said smugly, "Han'er, your dear sister won't be sleeping tonight!"
She deliberately switched seats with Nie Yuanyuan, just to get back at Si Niannian!
After listening, Song Qinghan seemed reluctant and hesitated before saying, "Feiyan, my sister actually..."
"Don't give me that empty, grandiose nonsense," Bai Feiyan rolled her eyes and said, "Just tell me, since she came back, hasn't she been targeting you in every way?"
Song Qinghan frowned in distress.
Bai Feiyan said irritably, "Then that's settled?"
“This is between her and me, it has nothing to do with you, you can just pretend you don’t know anything about it.”
After hesitating for a long time, Song Qinghan still worriedly warned, "My sister isn't the type to suffer a loss, and she's not very magnanimous. If you go against her, what if she makes things difficult for you?"
"Her?"
Bai Feiyan sneered, "Before, with Xie Changying backing her up, I couldn't do anything to her for a while. But now I'm the one living in the same room as her. Besides, does she have any evidence to prove that I did it?"
Without any proof or evidence, even if Xie Changying herself came, there would be nothing she could do!
Besides, the inner and outer courtyards are quite far apart.
She had already given orders to keep an eye on Si Niannian's maid, making sure she had no chance to tip off anyone or ask for help!
Song Qinghan seemed helpless with Bai Feiyan and smiled wryly: "Fine, then you just need to be careful and know your limits."
Bai Feiyan confidently hummed a few times, then, thinking of Si Niannian who had been tricked, she walked away triumphantly.
A subtle coldness crept across Song Qinghan's lips as she adjusted the cloak on her shoulders, then turned and left.
Meanwhile, not far away, on the treetops, a black figure, like a boneless bird, silently followed behind Bai Feiyan.
Knowing that her actions were dishonorable, Bai Feiyan didn't even bring her personal maid when she came to find Song Qinghan.
She came from the mansion of a valiant general and had learned some martial arts since childhood, making her bolder than ordinary young ladies.
So when he saw someone blocking his way, his first reaction was to laugh and say, "Do you even know who I am? How dare you block my path?"
"Don't blame me for not warning you beforehand," Bai Feiyan said with a sneer, pulling a soft whip from her waist. "If you don't want to die, you can still run now!"
The soft whip cracked the air with a fierce momentum, and it looked quite intimidating.
The person under the cloak reached out and grabbed the whip that was being pulled out, tilting their head playfully as if to say, "Is that all you've got?"
Bai Feiyan tugged at the whip to no avail, and angrily said, "You're asking for death! I..."
Whoosh!
The person who was just three steps away suddenly appeared in front of Bai Feiyan like a ghost!
Bai Feiyan turned pale with fright and, realizing something was wrong, turned and ran.
But the newcomer moved even faster than she could react!
They stood in her way once again!
"you……"
"ah!"
A moment later, the person covered by the cloak disappeared without a trace, just as they had come.
The closed rear window opened and closed again. As soon as Si Niannian stood up, she couldn't help but cover her arm.
When the sleeve was rolled up, the remaining red spots seemed to be faintly burning, like embers.
Before Si Niannian could catch her breath, Qiu Shuang's distraught voice came from outside the door: "Young Miss..."
"What are you shouting for?" Si Niannian said, opening the door. "Weren't you going to find my third brother?"
"What did he say? Where are the bedding?"
Qiu Shuang could no longer hold back and sobbed with her head down, "Third Young Master... Third Young Master said that all the girls in the school are well-educated and sensible young ladies from good families. If there is any trouble, it must be because the girl was wrong first."
"Since there is a mistake, then it is right to be punished."
Song Wu also said that since they had entered the girls' school, he and Si Niannian could no longer address each other as brother and sister, and he would not give Si Niannian any extra care because of their blood relationship.
Si Niannian caused trouble on her very first day at the school, and she should bear the consequences herself.
Song Wu, with an incorruptible demeanor, didn't give Qiu Shuang a chance to say anything more.
Thinking about the possibility of her blanket being taken away, Qiu Shuang couldn't help but say in a fit of indignation, "The Third Young Master is actually biased!"
"Worried that the Second Miss wouldn't be used to the food in the dining hall, I've had the servants fetch food from her almost every day. But why is it that when it comes to you, Miss, all I can do is..."
"How dare you say such a thing?" Si Niannian looked exhausted. "Are you out of your mind?"
She said that at most she would get a scolding for being ungrateful.
Qiu Shuang said that if this got back to Madam Song, she would be dead.
Qiu Shuang belatedly covered her mouth, earning a faint glance from Si Niannian: "Don't worry, there'll be a solution..."
"Something terrible has happened!"
"Something terrible has happened!"
A playful glint flashed in Si Niannian's eyes as she looked at the old woman who rushed in and asked curiously, "What happened?"
The old woman didn't recognize Si Niannian. Seeing that she was dressed in expensive clothes, she unconsciously stammered, "Replying to the young lady, it is..."
"Something has happened to Miss Bai from the General of Valor's Mansion!"
The old woman looked terrified: "Miss Bai was beaten by the intruders, and they even whipped her and left her in the water!"
