"May I go and meet the Second Miss?" Sheng Yunrong asked Mrs. Duanmu.
Madam Duanmu was slightly startled, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes, and then she nodded gently, with a hint of imperceptible tenderness in her tone: "Okay, Yunrong, come with me."
A hint of surprise flashed in Sheng Yunrong's eyes, and she hurriedly followed Mrs. Duanmu, through the courtyards, and came to Duanmu Yuwei's boudoir.
The door was gently pushed open, and Sheng Yunrong saw Duanmu Yuwei, who was sitting by the window, holding a book in her hand, looking demure. Seeing Sheng Yunrong come in, she was slightly startled, then slowly put down the book and stood up.
"Yuwei, this is the eldest daughter of the Sheng family, Yunrong." Mrs. Duanmu introduced.
Duanmu Yuwei smiled slightly, and that smile was like the warm sunshine in spring, which made people feel warm: "Sister Yunrong, hello."
Sheng Yunrong smiled lightly, walked forward, and the two saluted each other. Sheng Yunrong's eyes stayed on Duanmu Yuwei's face for a moment, and saw that she had fair skin, picturesque eyebrows, and a pair of bright eyes like autumn water, which made people like her involuntarily.
"Sister Yuwei, I heard Madam talk about you, and you really live up to your reputation." Sheng Yunrong exclaimed.
Duanmu Yuwei's cheeks flushed slightly, and she lowered her head gently: "Sister, you are too kind."
The two men sat down, and Mrs. Duanmu also sat beside them, and the three of them began to talk.
Sheng Yunrong: "What does my sister like to do?"
Duanmu Yuwei: "I like reading, painting, and occasionally playing the piano."
Sheng Yunrong's eyes flashed with envy: "Sister is really versatile. I heard from Madam that sister's piano skills have reached the pinnacle."
Duanmu Yuwei's cheeks turned even redder. She bit her lip lightly and said, "Sister, you are too kind. I still have many shortcomings."
Sheng Yunrong looked at her and secretly sighed in her heart that such a gentle and virtuous woman was really heart-warming.
At this time, Madam Duanmu suddenly said, "Yunrong, do you know why I asked you to come and see Yuwei?"
Sheng Yunrong shook her head: "Madam, I don't know."
Madam Duanmu looked at her deeply and said, "I hope you can become Yuwei's friend. She has been in a wealthy family since she was a child. Although she has gained a lot, she has also lost a lot. I hope you can spend this time with her."
Sheng Yunrong's eyes flashed with determination: "Madam, don't worry, I will do my best to accompany my sister."
Duanmu Yuwei looked at Sheng Yunrong, a hint of gratitude flashing in her eyes.
Madam Duanmu was slightly stunned, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes, and then she slowly said: "Go, but... don't cause any more trouble." Although her voice was light, it revealed an unquestionable majesty.
Sheng Yunrong nodded slightly, a grateful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and then she turned and walked towards the backyard. After passing through the winding corridor and coming to Duanmu Yuwei's boudoir, Sheng Yunrong took a deep breath and knocked on the door gently.
"Come in." Duanmu Yuwei's cold voice came from inside the door.
Sheng Yunrong pushed the door open and saw Duanmu Yuwei sitting by the window, holding a book in her hand with a calm look. She was wearing a lavender dress and her hair was tied up high, looking both noble and arrogant.
"Second Miss, Sheng Yunrong is here to visit you." Sheng Yunrong bowed slightly, speaking in a respectful tone.
Duanmu Yuwei put down the book and raised her head, her eyes like water, but with a barely perceptible indifference: "Miss Sheng, what can I do for you?"
Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly and said, "It's nothing, actually. I just want to chat with the Second Miss about family matters."
Duanmu Yuwei smiled lightly, with a hint of sarcasm in her smile: "Homely things? What else can we talk about?"
Sheng Yunrong's heart tightened, but she still kept smiling: "Second Miss misunderstood, I just want to know about Second Miss's life."
Duanmu Yuwei stood up, walked in front of Sheng Yunrong, and looked at her sharply: "Miss Sheng, who do you think you are? Do you think you can easily walk into my world?"
Sheng Yunrong bit her lip lightly, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "I know I may not be able to easily enter the world of the Second Miss, but I am willing to try and willing to understand."
Duanmu Yuwei sneered: "Understand? What do you know about me? Do you understand Duanmu Mansion?"
Sheng Yunrong was silent for a while, then said: "I know that Duanmu Mansion is a place full of power and conspiracy, and I know that it is not easy for you, the second young lady, to live in this mansion."
Duanmu Yuwei's eyes flashed with surprise, and then she regained her composure: "Since you know, what else do you want to know?"
Sheng Yunrong took a deep breath and said, "I want to know, are you really happy, Second Miss?"
Duanmu Yuwei's eyes widened, as if she had heard a joke: "Happiness? In this mansion, happiness is a luxury."
Sheng Yunrong gently held Duanmu Yuwei's hand and said softly, "Perhaps, I can accompany you to find happiness."
Duanmu Yuwei's eyes flashed with a complicated emotion. She withdrew her hand, turned around and walked to the window: "Miss Sheng, you have a good heart, but I don't need your sympathy."
Sheng Yunrong felt a pain in her heart, but she did not give up: "Second Miss, I am not here to sympathize with you, I just want to make friends with you sincerely."
Duanmu Yuwei turned around, a trace of confusion in her eyes: "Friends? In this mansion, friends are also a luxury."
Sheng Yunrong looked at Duanmu Yuwei firmly: "Even if it is luxurious, I am willing to share it with you."
Their eyes met in the air, and they could feel each other's sincerity. Duanmu Yuwei's eyes flashed with a trace of hesitation, and she sighed softly: "Miss Sheng, you are really kind-hearted, but I..."
Sheng Yunrong knew Duanmu Yuwei's concerns, and she gently held Duanmu Yuwei's hand: "I know what you are worried about, Second Miss, and I will use my actions to prove my sincerity."
Duanmu Yuwei looked at Sheng Yunrong, a trace of gratitude flashed in her eyes, and she nodded gently: "Okay, Miss Sheng, I am willing to try to accept you."
At night, Sheng Yunrong quietly came to Duanmu Yuwei's room, looking nervous: "Second Miss, something bad has happened. Someone in Duanmu Mansion wants to frame us."
Duanmu Yuwei's eyes flashed with panic, but she quickly calmed down: "Miss Sheng, how should we deal with this?"
Sheng Yunrong frowned and thought for a moment: "We must find evidence to expose their conspiracy."
Duanmu Yuwei nodded, with a gleam of determination in her eyes: "Okay, let's go check it out together."
By chance, they discovered a secret passage. At the end of the passage was a secret room, which contained a lot of information about the conspiracy inside Duanmu Mansion.
Sheng Yunrong and Duanmu Yuwei walked into the secret room cautiously. As they flipped through the materials, they became more and more shocked.
They finally understood the various conspiracies within the Duanmu Mansion and knew who framed them.
With irrefutable evidence, Sheng Yunrong and Duanmu Yuwei decided to reveal the truth to Mrs. Duanmu. Mrs. Duanmu was furious when she learned the truth, and she ordered severe punishment for the conspirators.
