Besides Zhuzhu, the other maids from Guan Guan's courtyard also rushed over. They hurriedly carried Guan Guan to the bed in the side room and covered her with a quilt.

Looking at the people in the room, Yun Duoduo observed that apart from the people in Guan Guan's courtyard, the other maids and servants didn't seem to care much about Guan Ge Lao's granddaughter.

Guan Gelao had three children: an eldest son, a second daughter, and a third son.

The wife of the eldest son, Guan Wude, is Madam Su, who is also the current matriarch of the Guan family.

Guan Ge Lao's second daughter was Guan Guan's mother, but she was in poor health and died shortly after giving birth to Guan Guan.

The third son moved out of the family compound and did not live with the rest of the family.

"What's going on? Why is it so chaotic?!" Madam Su walked over impatiently, covering her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, seemingly disgusted by the maids and servants gathered together.

With so many guests today, don't embarrass me.

[It's definitely that little hussy Guan Guan causing trouble again.]

[I was only distracted for a moment, and such a commotion has occurred!]

This little brat is really hard to manage; keeping her under my care is such a hassle.

Yun Duoduo overheard Su Shi's inner thoughts and was somewhat surprised. [The Guan family isn't as good as the rumors suggest; it turns out the family is already falling apart internally.]

Guan Guan is also pitiful. Despite being the legitimate granddaughter, she has to live under someone else's roof in the First Madam's room because she lacks a mother's protection. No wonder, at such a young age, when she should be innocent and carefree, there is not a trace of pure smile on her face.

Yun Duoduo couldn't help but take a closer look at Su Shi.

Although Su was middle-aged, she still looked beautiful, with willow-leaf eyebrows, cherry lips, fair skin, and phoenix eyes. Her facial expressions were very rich, and Yun Duoduo could even imagine what she would look like when she put on a pitiful act in front of her husband.

She wasn't exactly stunningly beautiful, but she had a face that could bewitch anyone, especially her eyes; every smile and frown could steal a man's soul.

So this is what a beautiful, middle-aged woman looks like.

This is probably what the term "vixen" means.

Today is an important day. All the high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital have returned, and it's clear that Madam Su has put a lot of effort into her attire.

It seemed that all the valuable jewelry in the Guan family mansion was on her. Her hair was piled up high and adorned with two gorgeous hairpins. She wore a large blue jade stone around her neck and carved pearl and jade bracelets on both hands, one made of Hetian jade and the other of blood jade.

He looked extremely wealthy.

"Madam, Miss has fainted," Zhuzhu whispered from the side.

She kept her head down, not daring to speak to Su Shi directly.

"Fainting isn't a big deal, just drink some water."

[They're not going to die, so why are you all panicking?!]

As she was talking, she looked at Guan Guan, then her gaze suddenly fell on Yun Duoduo.

【Oh dear, the princess is still here! Weren't your words a bit too harsh?】

Oh well, it's alright. What could a three- or five-year-old toddler possibly understand?

"Mother, what happened?" Su's daughter, Guan Qinqin, walked in.

Upon seeing Guan Guan lying unconscious on the bed, tears streamed down her face like a broken string of pearls.

She covered her mouth with a handkerchief, seemingly trying her best to suppress her sobs.

"Little sister, little sister, why did you faint?"

"What are we going to do, sister?!"

[You fainted at such an important occasion; isn't that a disgrace to the Guan family?]

Today, I'm looking for my ideal husband. If you scare him away, you'll be sorry!

If Yun Duoduo hadn't been able to hear Guan Qinqin's inner thoughts, she would have truly believed it was a display of sisterly affection, with Guan Qinqin expressing concern for Guan Guan's health.

Hearing what she was thinking, Yun Duoduo was stunned. What amazing acting skills! She was truly ashamed of herself!

Guan Qinqin wiped away her tears. She was wearing a pale yellow silk dress with a lotus-patterned ribbon tied around her waist. She cried so hard that her face was streaked with tears, making her look pitiful and heartbreaking.

She crouched down, gently stroking Guan Guan's head, then, taking advantage of a moment when no one was looking, reached out and pinched Guan Guan's back hard.

Seeing your usual arrogant face always annoys me, and today is the perfect day to vent my anger!

【You're incredibly lucky. We've drugged you so many times, and you still haven't died. Today, it seems this is your doom, Guan Guan. You can't escape. The entire Guan family and clan will be in the hands of our eldest branch.】

Yun Duoduo was short, so she could see Guan Qinqin's movements clearly.

[This young girl, how can she have no sportsmanship, taking advantage of someone while they are unconscious?]

[Huh? You even drugged Guan Guan? Guan Guan's life is really tough.]

Who are these two people? They're definitely mother and daughter.

Yun Duoduo casually pulled Guan Qinqin's hand away, saying, "Stay away, or you'll catch the illness."

Yun Duoduo said in a childish voice, her tone very kind. She didn't want to cause any trouble, but she just couldn't stand the way these people acted.

Guan Qinqin's hand was pulled away by Yun Duoduo. She was very dissatisfied and glanced at Yun Duoduo with a contemptuous look.

"Qinqin, this is the Ninth Princess," Madam Su reminded her from the side.

Guan Qinqin did not bow properly, but simply nodded slightly, as if she felt that the princess was not worthy of her bowing.

[This is the princess? She's nothing special. The rumors make her sound like a goddess, but she barely has any hair, practically bald.]

[Just a few bald hairs tied into a little tuft.]

The eyes are quite pretty, but they're too big, like two empty bowls.

Yun Duoduo clenched her little fists as she listened to Guan Qinqin's words.

【What?!】

How dare they mock this princess?!

Guan Qinqin, you've really lost all your virtue!

Although she admitted that she had little hair, she was far from being bald!

Besides, she's still a child. Isn't it normal for her hair to be thin? Maybe she'll have amazing hair when she grows up!

[Seriously, sob sob...]

"Why are so many people gathered here?" A middle-aged man's voice, tinged with suppressed anger, came from the doorway.

(My darlings, I'll be updating more frequently during the May Day holiday, so please read them often. The weather has been quite changeable lately, so please take good care of yourselves and don't get sick. Being sick is awful, sob sob. Remember to bring an umbrella when you go out on rainy days. It's getting chilly in the mornings and evenings during this seasonal change, so bring an extra jacket so you don't catch a cold. Love you all!)
