When everyone else left, Aunt Li stayed behind.

"Miss, Miss He has already been taken to the clinic, so please don't worry." Aunt Li gently comforted Leng Yue, sounding much more sincere than Aunt Zhang.

Leng Yue lowered her hand, looked at Li Sao, and said nothing.

"Miss, what's wrong?" Aunt Li was puzzled by Leng Yue's gaze. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Are you annoyed by my excessive talking again?"

Leng Yue looked at her with wide eyes, "No, I'm wondering why you didn't go to the clinic with Wan'er?"

Aunt Li sighed, "Miss, there's something I'm not sure if I should say?"

Leng Yue nodded. "Okay, go ahead."

“I always felt that Miss He wasn’t a good person. You…you shouldn’t get too close to her.” After hesitating for a while, Aunt Li finally said it. “I know you’ll be unhappy if I say this. I don’t usually like to gossip behind people’s backs, but your running away from home this time really scared us! Like I said, if Miss He hadn’t bewitched you, you definitely wouldn’t have done this.”

“Although I haven’t spent as much time at the mansion as Zhang Ma, I’ve practically watched you grow up.” Aunt Li looked at Leng Yue with loving eyes. “The elders say that what you are at three years old will determine what you will be at eighty. You’ve been well-behaved and adorable since you were little. You listened to whatever the master said. How could you possibly run away from home?”

"You must have been bewitched by Miss He!" Aunt Li said with absolute certainty. "There's no one else but Miss He to choose from!"

"Aunt Li, how did you figure all that out?" Leng Yue, true to the original owner's personality, stared wide-eyed, surprised and curious. Then came disbelief and a touch of anger.

Aunt Li glanced at Leng Yue and sighed, "Miss, you're just too trusting. Think about it, why did you want to run away from home?"

"For love." Leng Yue replied with a silly, cheesy remark, though she secretly felt disgusted. Talking about love with someone like Bai Yanlang? She must be out of her mind.

"Have you found it?" Aunt Li looked at Leng Yue. "This so-called love is nothing more than a fantasy in your heart. And this fantasy is not something you originally had; someone made it into you, wasn't it?"

Leng Yue pouted and nodded in agreement, but still retorted, "But even so, it doesn't necessarily mean it has anything to do with Wan'er, does it?"

"Miss, take my advice. That Miss He is not the same as when she first came in. She's become quite arrogant now. You'd better stay away from her. Otherwise, she'll have nothing better to do than tell you love stories all day long. Doesn't a young lady feel ashamed?" Aunt Li said with a look of disgust as she spoke of He Wan telling Leng Yue about romance dramas.

Aunt Li had witnessed He Wan telling Leng Yue about the book several times, and she was unhappy about it each time. She had mentioned it to Leng Yue a few times before, but Leng Yue always got upset. So, gradually, she stopped bringing it up.

“I’ve been praying to Buddha to protect you all this time, afraid that something might happen to you.” Aunt Li looked at Leng Yue with affection. “Anyway, I’m really happy that you’re back, Miss.”

Leng Yue could tell that Aunt Li was genuinely happy when she said that. "But I still think Wan'er was just trying to cheer me up..."

Aunt Li was exasperated. "Miss, why don't you understand? You really are... really are... sigh!" Aunt Li was so angry that she couldn't speak for a while before she calmed down. "Miss, in short, you must be careful when you get along with Miss He in the future."

Li Sao was also helpless. She wanted to say a few words to Leng Yue, but after thinking that she was the host, she decided to give up.

Leng Yue understood perfectly and now believed that Aunt Li was genuinely good to her. Seeing that she was quite angry, she took the initiative to change the subject.

"Sister Li, actually, I've realized over time that I was too reckless back then," Leng Yue said, sitting back on the sofa with a soft sigh.

"Will you run away from home again?" Aunt Li's eyes lit up. As long as she didn't run away from home, her young lady would be well taken care of by the master no matter what.

Leng Yue shook her head and gave a bleak smile. "I wouldn't dare. You have no idea how much I suffered on my way back!"

"It's good that you know. You've learned your lesson. You can't go to such far places on your own again." Aunt Li's eyes were filled with laughter and heartache.

"Don't worry, I'll never dare to do it again." Leng Yue shook her head.

"What about Miss He?" Aunt Li still felt that He Wan was a ticking time bomb next to Leng Yue, and it would be safer to keep her away.

"Don't worry, I believe Wan'er didn't do it on purpose." Leng Yue said, pushing the ashen-faced Li Sao out. "Let's go, let's go see if Wan'er has returned."

Li Sao was pushed out the door by Leng Yue. She wanted to say something, but when she saw Zhang Ma outside the door, she could only shut up.

"Young Miss, Miss Wan'er is back!" Zhang Ma was still addressing He Wan as "Miss".

Aunt Li frowned unhappily. "Aunt Zhang, now that Miss is back, why are you still calling her Miss Wan'er? What do you mean by that?"

"Aunt Li, aren't you being too nosy?" Aunt Zhang retorted. "Miss Wan'er is the master's adopted daughter. What else should we call her but 'Miss'?"

When Leng Yue ran away from home, with her wedding date fast approaching, Leng Mingde, with He Wan's hints and Zhang Ma's guidance, accepted He Wan as his goddaughter.

Therefore, Leng Yue went from being a young lady to the eldest young lady, and He Wan became Miss Wan'er.

The servants at the Leng mansion hadn't even gotten used to being called Miss Wan'er when Leng Yue returned. Therefore, so far, very few people truly acknowledge He Wan as Miss. More precisely, only Zhang Ma has done so.

Because their masters seemed to have forgotten about it, not mentioning at all that He Wan was their adopted daughter. These servants weren't stupid; who would go looking for trouble?

However, while they can selectively forget, Zhang Ma persisted all along.

“You…” Aunt Li knew that they were selectively forgetting, and the master was pretending not to mention it, but the fact that he had accepted He Wan back then was a done deal. Therefore, no matter how unhappy she was, she had no way to refute it now.

Leng Yue glanced at everyone's reactions and realized that this was the case. "Alright, Aunt Li, let's go see Wan'er."

She turned to look at Zhang Ma again, "Because Father has never mentioned it, this is the first time I've heard about it since you told me today. But it's good this way, Wan'er will be my sister from now on, that's good."

Leng Yue treated Li Sao and Zhang Ma differently. She was affectionate and tolerant towards Li Sao, but cold and aloof towards Zhang Ma. Anyone with eyes could see that Leng Yue was treating them differently. After speaking, Leng Yue walked ahead towards the backyard.

He Wan's room was still in the servants' quarters in the backyard. She had returned home after Leng Mingde announced the news, so she hadn't been able to move into the attic.

Seeing this, Li Sao followed behind Leng Yue, deliberately bumping into Zhang Ma as she passed by. Zhang Ma, mindful of Leng Yue's previous attitude, was unhappy but didn't dare make a sound. Seeing Leng Yue leading Li Sao towards He Wan's room, she quickly followed behind.

The group headed towards He Wan's residence.
