When Yun Wanwan woke up the next day, Rong Chengxuan was gone. If there hadn't been a little warmth beside her, Yun Wanwan would have thought that Rong Chengxuan's stay at the Yun Mansion yesterday was just a dream.

After Yun Wanwan finished her breakfast, she was taken to the main hall by the servants, who said that Gu Pingge wanted to see her.

Yun Wanwan never had a good impression of the original owner's adoptive mother, and a big "catching an adulterer" drama had just happened yesterday. Gu Pingge came to find her at this critical moment, which definitely meant that he had no good intentions.

She said "OK" but it took her quite some time before she followed the maid who came to invite her to go to the main hall.

The courtyard where she lived in the Yun Mansion was the west courtyard, which was quite a distance away from the main hall of the east courtyard.

In the Yun Mansion, the East Courtyard and the West Courtyard are clearly separated.

There was an empty yard next to the west courtyard. Before Gu Pingge even entered, General Yun had been practicing boxing there. Later, General Yun married Gu Pingge, and in the third year after her marriage, Gu Pingge converted the west courtyard into a guest room, intending to use it to entertain guests.

After being brought back to the Yun Mansion by General Yun and Gu Pingge, Yun Wanwan lived in the West Courtyard. Actually, the West Courtyard was more remote than the East Courtyard, and received less sunlight, with less than half the space. But Yun Wanwan particularly liked the West Courtyard's design. White walls and black tiles, a simple and unadorned look.

Yun Wanwan felt that Gu Pingge's only aesthetic taste should have been spent on the West Courtyard. After all, she really couldn't appreciate the magnificent design style of the East Courtyard, which gave people the impression of a nouveau riche.

After turning around the long corridor and passing through the exquisitely manicured garden, you will arrive at the door of Shi'an Hall in the East Courtyard.

Gu Pingge was the daughter of a civil official, married to a military official like General Yun. Perhaps to highlight their scholarly heritage, the Shi'an Hall was decorated with great elegance. A sandalwood plaque hung at the entrance, and several bamboos were planted at the entrance, symbolizing noble character.

When Yun Wanwan arrived, she saw Yun Yaoyao there as well, and it looked like she had arrived not long ago.

"The eldest lady is here." Xier beside Gu Pingge said, but Gu Pingge seemed not to hear it and continued talking to Yun Yaoyao.

Yun Wanwan stepped into Shi'an Hall.

There was a happy scene in Shi'an Hall. Yun Yaoyao sat below Gu Pingge, holding a plate of snacks in her hand. She tilted her head to listen to Gu Pingge's speech while eating the snacks in her hand.

Yun Wanwan was reluctant to take the initiative to greet Gu Pingge. She walked to a distance not too far from Gu Pingge and coughed lightly a few times, as if to attract the attention of Gu Pingge and Yun Yaoyao, but it seemed as if they were blind and deaf. Yun Wanwan, a living person, was standing in front of them and making a sound, but no one noticed her presence.

It wasn't until Yun Yaoyao turned around that she pretended to see Yun Wanwan and said with a smile, "Big sister, why did you come just now? I almost finished my steamed cheese."

Yun Wanwan nodded. "I guess I'm not fully recovered yet. I felt a little dizzy after walking a few steps, so I rested for a while along the way. That's why I'm late."

Everyone in Shi'an Hall was silent.

Yun Yaoyao, in particular, had already turned pale. She wanted to accuse Yun Wanwan of being too late, but she wasn't afraid to point out Gu Pingge's airs of being an elder to her, ignoring his daughter's health and asking her to come and pay her respects.

It was also very weird that Yun Yaoyao brought General Yun and Gu Pingge to frame her yesterday even though she knew that she was "not in good health", causing her to suffer from heatstroke, which could have been cured by a rest, but she still hasn't fully recovered.

After a moment, Yun Yaoyao adjusted her expression and said with a smile, "I think Big Sister is really weak. It was just a little heatstroke that made her sick for so long. Fortunately, she looks fine now."

"Yeah." Yun Wanwan made no secret of the fact that she was "weak." "Life was hard before, and my health started to deteriorate from then on."

As soon as Yun Wanwan said this, Gu Pingge became the one with a bad expression. However, Gu Pingge had more experience than Yun Yaoyao after all. She was just stunned for a moment and immediately adjusted her facial expression.

Yun Yaoyao was obviously embarrassed: "Uh..."

"Are you feeling better now?" A stern voice sounded, with a hint of imperceptible impatience.

Yun Wanwan looked up at Gu Pingge.

The smile on Gu Pingge's face had disappeared, and he raised his head slightly with some arrogance.

She was wearing a crimson double-breasted palace dress, embroidered with an exquisite pattern of butterflies and flowers in purple and gold thread, which made her figure look even more plump and dazzling.

To outsiders, her words and actions are always just right and gentle, as if every move she makes exudes a faint fragrance.

But Yun Wanwan found it a little funny. If she was really a gentle and refined person, she would never do such a thing as abandoning her own daughter. She was just pretending to be nice in front of outsiders.

Yun Wanwan casually commented on Gu Pingge in her mind and said humbly, "I've taken the medicine and I'm feeling much better now. Thank you, Madam Yun, for your concern."

The next second, she heard Gu Pingge above her head, "Unfilial daughter, kneel down!"

As Gu Pingge said this, Yun Wanwan did not move.

Everyone looked at Yun Wanwan in surprise. They knew that the eldest lady was stubborn, but they didn't expect her to be so stubborn that she would even ignore Gu Pingge's loud scolding.

"Madam Yun, I don't know what I have done wrong." Yun Wanwan said calmly.

"Could it be that Big Sister is delirious from the fever?" Yun Yaoyao asked, clearly wanting to support Gu Pingge, with an anxious look on her face. "Mother is just furious right now. She doesn't really want to punish you. It's just something that can be resolved by admitting your mistake. Why are you still so stubborn?"

Yun Yaoyao was obviously also an expert. With just one sentence, she pinned the blame on Yun Wanwan for knowing her mistakes and not correcting them, as well as for contradicting her elders.

"How dare you! You're simply outrageous!" Yun Wanwan's indifferent attitude infuriated Gu Pingge, who suddenly sat up straight. Her voice was a little sharp, "After spending a few days with Prince An, have you forgotten your own last name?"

Yun Yaoyao also looked at Yun Wanwan in disbelief, her eyes full of disapproval: "Big sister, are you crazy? Who taught you to talk back to your elders?"

Yun Wanwan looked at Yun Yaoyao.

Her eyebrows were as dark as indigo, her lips were as red as rouge, her black hair was combed into a fashionable bun, with a pair of hairpins inserted diagonally, and shiny tortoise-shell earrings dangled from her ears. As she moved, the pearl pendants swayed gently, making her look like an innocent and naive girl who was still ignorant of things.

But Yun Wanwan knew in her heart that although it was true that Yun Yaoyao was ignorant and brainless, that naivety had nothing to do with her.
