"Poor Aunt Sun," Yan Yue shuddered and clicked her tongue. "Why did they start arguing? How could Aunt Bei be so cruel? Aunt Sun has always been peaceful and unassuming. What did she do to offend her?"

He Yue glanced at her sixth sister, but decided not to tell her for the time being, lest her sixth sister think she was heartless.

"Perhaps something unpleasant happened, or it was an accident," He Yue casually explained, but in her heart she thought, "That's not wrong, there was indeed a conflict, but it was a significant one."

Hailan moved her lips, but seeing the warning look in her princess's eyes, she shrank her neck and lowered her head.

Heyue breathed a sigh of relief, took Yanyue's hand, and urged softly, "Sixth Sister, let's go and see how Aunt Sun is doing."

As expected, Yan Yue was persuaded to change the subject and nodded. The group then quickly went to Aunt Sun's residence.

Irgen Gioro was already sitting in the main room, and the doctor was examining Aunt Sun's injuries inside.

Heyue and Yanyue stood on either side of Lady Irgen Gioro. Lady Irgen Gioro's cold expression softened slightly. She patted their hands and gently comforted them, "Don't worry, Lady Sun is fine."

Yan Yue nodded with a worried look in her eyes, and kept glancing into the room.

Heyue looked indifferent, listlessly playing with her fingers with her head down. Sigh, she had originally thought there would be a good show to watch, to witness the two concubines arguing, but things had gone awry and gotten even worse.

Irgen Gioro noticed Heyue's expression, her eyes flashed, she pursed her lips tightly but said nothing, closed her eyes and fiddled with the sandalwood prayer beads in her hand.

Time passed slowly, and the doctor came out, speaking a long string of traditional Chinese medicine terms. Heyue couldn't understand a single word, except for the last few: Aunt Sun's wound was too deep and might not heal easily; she needed to rest and recuperate.

After seeing the doctor off, Lady Irgen Gioro coldly instructed Granny Wang: "Go and make Lady Bei kneel in my courtyard. She is not allowed to get up without my permission."

Granny Wang responded and left.

Irgen Gioro rose and instructed Caihe, the maid of Aunt Sun, "Take good care of your aunt and let her recover in peace."

Caihe hurriedly kowtowed to express her gratitude, her voice choked with emotion: "Thank you, Madam."

Without saying anything more, Yiergenjueluo held Heyue's hand and said softly, "Xiaoqi, come with me."

Heyue was stunned for a moment, then quickly stepped forward and took her mother's arm to leave Aunt Sun's residence and return to the main courtyard.

In the main courtyard, Aunt Bei was kneeling in humiliation. When she saw Lady Irgen Gioro, she hurriedly crawled over on her knees, grabbed her skirt, and cried out in a shrill voice, "Madam, Madam, I am innocent! I didn't touch her! I really didn't touch her! She's the one who harmed me!"

Irgen Gioro lowered her eyes and gave her a cold look: "What grievance do you have? There are witnesses, and the wound is still there. Are you trying to say that Sun deliberately scratched her face to frame you?"

Aunt Bei was stunned for a moment, seemingly only now recovering from her panic and fear. Before her eyes appeared the indifferent expression of Irgen Gioro, and in her mind flashed Aunt Sun's bloodied face and angry gaze, her cold words: "You shouldn't have targeted Zhu'er. I may have a good temper, but that doesn't mean I'll let you harm my son. If you want to harm him, you should bear the consequences. If you dare to do so again, it won't just be this; I'll make you taste the bitterness of regret. You've seen it; I've even harmed myself. There's nothing I wouldn't dare to do. Even if it means mutual destruction, I'm willing to do it. Do you dare to bear the consequences?"

Thinking of Aunt Sun's ruthlessness and decisiveness, Aunt Bei trembled with fear. She hadn't expected the other party to be so desperate, even at the cost of disfiguring herself to warn her. She was truly afraid and shouldn't have been so careless.

Thinking of this, Aunt Bei couldn't help but let her gaze fall on little Heyue, and she secretly gritted her teeth.

How could Aunt Sun know what I said to Guan Zhu? Wasn't it this little brat who told her? Ha, I really underestimated her. She's so cunning at such a young age, it's terrifying.

Heyue met her venomous gaze without fear, her pupils still clear, a smile playing on her lips, like an innocent child. Even if she knew, so what? What could you do to me? This is the price of your greed.

Aunt Bei suddenly lost her strength, lowered her head, and slumped to the ground. At this moment, it was no use for her to say anything more. The injury was real, and everyone in the courtyard had heard her arguing with Aunt Sun. What else could she say?

Upon entering the west wing, Lady Irgen Gioro dismissed the maids and servants and shouted sternly, "Kneel down!"

Heyue was startled and opened her eyes wide, confused. When she met her mother's stern gaze, her heart trembled, and she quickly knelt down, secretly rubbing her knees with both hands, pursing her lips, and wondering why her mother was angry.

"Did you see her before Madam Sun went to Madam Bei's place?"

Hearing her mother's question, Heyue finally understood why her mother was angry. She closed her eyes, secretly annoyed, and had no choice but to obediently admit, "Mother, Xiaoqi did go to see Aunt Sun."

"What did you do? Is the matter concerning the Sun family related to you?" Yiergenjueluo took a deep breath, her tone slightly softening, but her movements as she fiddled with her prayer beads quickened.

Heyue knew that if she didn't tell the truth, her mother would really be angry, so she dared not hide anything and told her everything: "Mother, I did see Aunt Sun and talked to her. I heard that Aunt Bei was instigating Guanzhu and trying to sow discord between you and Guanzhu. I was indignant and thought of having Aunt Sun deal with Aunt Bei. But I didn't expect that Aunt Sun would get hurt. Mother, please don't be angry, okay?" Heyue grabbed her skirt in a pleading manner, her eyes brimming with tears, looking very pitiful.

Irgen Gioro was slightly taken aback. After thinking for a long time, she finally sighed and pulled her up: "You silly girl, even so, you shouldn't act so impulsively. What will you do if that Bei family member gets cornered and tries something rash?"

He Yue snorted lightly, dismissing it with disdain: "Just a clown, I'm not afraid of him."

“You are so naive. How can you avoid things in this world just because you say you’re not afraid? You should know that people’s hearts are treacherous and impossible to guard against.” Yiergenjueluo Shi tapped her forehead hard with her index finger and sighed with a smile.

Heyue lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers haphazardly.

"However, it is indeed not easy for you to think of using the Sun family to restrain the Bei family. Your mother did not expect you to be so intelligent at such a young age. You were intelligent before, but only in your studies. Now you have truly impressed your mother." Irgen Gioro sighed softly, her expression a mixture of pride and emotion.

Heyue's eyes flickered, then suddenly her gaze shifted, and she asked with a smile, "Mother, what do you plan to do with Concubine Bei and Concubine Sun?"

After a moment of contemplation, Lady Irgen Gioro asked with amusement, "Then how would you like Mother to punish them?"

He Yue tilted her head and pondered for a moment, then replied with a smile, "Although Aunt Sun is suspected of framing someone, it is understandable. Considering that she was injured, it is not appropriate to punish her further."

"As for Aunt Bei..." Heyue frowned in distress: "To be honest, Xiaoqi hates her very much. If we can punish her and teach her a lesson, that would be the best." As she spoke, her eyes lit up and she chuckled: "However, it is up to Mother to decide. The most important thing is to help Mother vent her anger and make her dare not do it again."
