Aunt Zhang mustered her courage, looked around, and then cautiously said, "Actually, it's really nothing, it's just that everyone received some random messages on their phones. And...and..."

"besides……?"

"Also, I heard some strange noises."

At this point, Aunt Zhang glanced at Yi Yi nervously and swallowed.

"The messages you received on your phones are related to me? And the so-called strange noises are also related to me?"

That sounds... absolutely ridiculous.

Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhang nodded, "Yes, yes—"

"Where's your phone? Let me see it..."

If what Aunt Zhang said is true, then the only possibility is that someone is playing a prank.

Aunt Zhang shook her head repeatedly, lowering her voice, "Young Madam, there's no more...the message...I've already deleted it. You don't know, it was a cursed message. If you accidentally opened it and saw it, you had to delete it immediately, otherwise...otherwise you would be punished!"

Yiyi: "..."

It's really strange; it sounds more like a prank. Yet Aunt Zhang and the others completely believed it.

"Then tell me, what is the content of the message?"

"This...this..."

Aunt Zhang said with a bitter face, "We can't say this either. If we do, we'll suffer the same consequences."

Yi Yi was speechless. How many years has the country been established? How can it still be steeped in feudal superstition?!

"Then what was that strange sound you were talking about...?"

"this……"

"You can't say it, or you'll be punished, right?"

Yi Yi already guessed what Aunt Zhang was going to say.

Aunt Zhang nodded repeatedly, then asked in a panic, "Young Madam, you...you know everything?"

"I don't know." Yi Yi was speechless. Aren't humans supposed to be the most intelligent species in the world? She felt that humans were sometimes much dumber than foxes. Couldn't they see through such an obvious prank? Did she, a fox, have to educate them about feudal superstitions?

“Aunt Zhang, think about it carefully. Don’t you find it strange? How could such a thing happen? I think this is clearly a prank, an attempt to sow discord between us. Now I’m standing right in front of you. Will you choose to believe me, or those dubious rumors?”

"This...I..." Aunt Zhang seemed a little embarrassed, "Of course we...we believe the young mistress, but the news seemed so convincing, it didn't...look like it was fake..."

“Then you…” Yi Yi said, subconsciously taking a step closer to Aunt Zhang. Aunt Zhang involuntarily took a step back, her face showing fear and apprehension.

Yi Yi knew that the servants in the villa, including Aunt Zhang, had all been misled by that dubious news. No matter what she said, they certainly wouldn't listen.

"Never mind, I'm going back to my room to sleep. If you're done with your work, you should get some rest too."

There was no point in saying more, so Yi turned around and went upstairs to sleep.

You could clearly feel Aunt Zhang behind me breathe a sigh of relief. Yi Yi hadn't gone far when she hurriedly ran downstairs and ran to a corner, where she and a few other maids were gesturing wildly and whispering about something.

"Bang—"

As soon as she closed the door, the more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt.

All sorts of messy news and strange noises, all aimed at her. She was convinced that this was no coincidence; someone was deliberately sabotaging her behind her back.
