Li Yu said apologetically, "This servant didn't sleep well last night and my head is a little foggy. I hope you will forgive me, Your Highness."

Hongli asked knowingly, "Why didn't you sleep well? Did something happen?"

Li Yu thought to himself, if Su Gege already knew, then Fourth Master should also know, but his master was asking him, could it be that Su Gege did not tell Fourth Master about this?

Perhaps it was because Yunfang's reputation was at stake that Su Gege didn't speak out explicitly? If that's the case, Li Yu didn't dare tell the truth either.

"Thank you for your concern, Master. It's nothing serious, so I won't trouble you any further."

Since he was unwilling to speak, Hongli naturally wouldn't press further. In Hongli's view, a certain distance should be maintained between master and servant, and they shouldn't get too close. So, with a stern face, he warned him:

"No matter what happens, it can't interfere with your duties. Don't take advantage of my trust in you to neglect your responsibilities. This is a third offense. If it happens again, your pay for this month will be forfeited!"

Knowing he was in the wrong, Li Yu dared not argue, and lowered his head meekly, saying, "This servant will remember this and will never do it again."

After taking a sip of tea, Hongli instructed, "Go to Huatang Pavilion and tell her that I will be free tomorrow to take Consort Su out of the manor for a trip. Ask her if she would like to go to the western or southern suburbs."

Li Yu agreed and said he would do it immediately.

Su Yushan, who was playing with the child, was surprised to hear this. Hongli could have just asked her about this when he came over that night. Why did he have to make Li Yu go through all that trouble?

Could it be that Hongli did this on purpose, wanting to give Li Yu a chance to meet Yunfang?

Yunfang was in the house, and the two of them bumped into each other, but Yunfang pretended that he didn't exist and silently sewed the soles of the shoes.

After Li Yu finished speaking, he had to go back. Before leaving, he glanced at Yun Fang, but she didn't even lift her eyelids. Helpless, he could only turn around and leave.

Su Yushan's eyes flickered slightly, and she then instructed Yunfang to go to the laundry courtyard to fetch the washed clothes.

Yunfang knew perfectly well what Sister Yu meant; she just wanted her to travel with Li Yu! Having already seen through it all, she made an excuse, saying that she had sprained her ankle and it would hurt to walk, and asked Changyue to do it for her.

She didn't want to go, and Su Yushan couldn't force her. She could only wait until tomorrow when they went out for a trip to see if there was a chance to bring the two of them together.

In reality, Hongli saw that Su Yushan was in a bad mood, so he thought of taking her out to relax. Su Yushan thought it was just an ordinary outing, but little did she expect that a terrifying accident would occur!
