Yu Yuanbai found the assassinated prince, and the emperor generously rewarded the Yu family. Furthermore, when the prince disappeared, Yu Yuanbai's tireless efforts to find him alone became legendary, and his loyalty became a legend. In contrast, the Nie family army felt somewhat embarrassed.
Although setting up camp late at night was understandable, it lacked some loyalty compared to Yu Yuanbai. Although the emperor didn't blame him for this incident, he inevitably lost his favor.
[Nie You's official luck decreased by 20, his luck value decreased by 20, and his current luck value is 80]
After waking up, the prince became closer to Yu Yuanbai and often visited the Yu family military camp.
"The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the soldiers are working hard."
The prince's leg injury has not yet healed, and he still has some difficulty walking.
Yu Yuanbai stood half a step behind him, bowing slightly and saying, "The Yu family army has served the court for generations, so they don't find it hard."
The prince said nothing. He walked among the soldiers, looking at each face. There were all kinds of faces, but none of them had the one that haunted him.
After looking at the soldiers, the prince asked suddenly, "How did you find me that day?"
Although the prince had asked several times, Yu Yuanbai could only repeat, "That night, Yuanbai slipped and fell into the valley. He then saw armor on the ground and followed the underground river to find the unconscious prince. This shows that the prince is a man of good fortune, a true dragon."
The prince was silent for a while, "Didn't you see anyone?"
"Who is it?" Yu Yuanbai asked back.
"nothing."
The prince limped forward, but Yu Yuanbai was still worried. He had to find time to ask Yu Man what she had done that had caused the prince to be so upset.
...
At this moment, Su Man was strolling in the garden with Yinggu.
Nie's mother's birthday is coming soon. Everyone is busy cleaning and decorating the Nie Mansion, except Su Man.
Ever since she handed over her stewardship, the servants in the mansion had begun to act according to the situation, simply acknowledging her presence and then leaving, completely lacking the respect they once had. Fortunately, she still had the Yu family behind her; otherwise, they wouldn't even bother to pay her any attention.
Yinggu was furious when she saw the little villain, and said angrily, "Even the servants in our Yu Mansion wouldn't be so unruly."
As they were talking, they passed by the area where orchids were planted and found that not only was there no flower in the pot, but even the branches and leaves had been picked clean.
"Look, ma'am!"
Yinggu circled the flower and shouted at the gardener, "Who has ruined the lady's orchid like this?"
The gardener glanced at Yinggu and continued pruning the flowers and trees at hand. "The young lady picked them and said she wanted to send them to Miss Qin. We servants can't stop her."
Yinggu was so angry that she had no place to vent her anger. She could only go back to Su Man and say, "Madam, it's Miss..."
Su Man said calmly, "I heard it."
Yinggu tried to hold it back, but she couldn't help it. "Young lady is really getting more and more outrageous. Not only did she skip the greetings, but she also treated your beloved things like this. You must control her."
Su Man nodded and said, "Let's go to Lingyuan."
Lingyuan is the courtyard where Nie Shuangling lived. It was originally called Fuyaju, but Nie You said it was difficult to pronounce, so it was changed to Lingyuan.
When Su Man arrived, Nie Shuangling was tearing up the book inside. Her wet nurse, Mama Feng, tried to stop her, "Young lady, you can't tear it up. What will we do if the teacher asks about your homework tomorrow?"
But the more she talked, the more Nie Shuangling started to tear it apart. "What do you know? I told my grandmother that a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent. Mother insisted on sending me to a private school. Isn't that just to embarrass me? I'm going to tear it apart anyway."
"How can you say that, young lady? Madam loves you the most."
Mother Feng came from Yu Mansion with Yu Man, and she was heartbroken to see Nie Shuangling become like this.
"She controls me all day long, either asking me to study or learn some rules. I don't want any of that. Dad doesn't like her, Grandma doesn't like her, and no one in the whole mansion likes her. I wish she would die someday, and then she could be my mother!"
Suddenly, the yard became quiet.
When Nie Shuangling saw Su Man, she realized what she had just said.
Yinggu always loved her, but now she was also angry, "Miss, how could you say such outrageous words? Apologize to the lady."
Nie Shuangling stiffened her neck and refused to apologize. "Why should I apologize? I'm telling the truth!"
“Pah.”
Nie Shuangling's head was smacked to the side, and the burning sensation on her face reminded her of the slap. She looked at Su Man furiously, but her cold eyes and the aura surrounding her frightened her to tears.
She cried, "I'm going to tell Dad and let him teach you a lesson!"
Su Man stared into her eyes and said, "Hoping your mother will die? You can go tell your father and see if he will make the decision for you."
Nie Shuangling stopped talking, covered her face, and looked at Su Man as if she was an enemy.
...
"Little girl, Yuman hit me!"
Nie Shuangling ran into Qin Wanrou's yard crying.
At this moment, Qin Wanrou was looking at the list of people for Nie's mother's birthday party. When she saw Nie Shuangling come in, a flash of annoyance passed through her eyes.
"Oh, Ling'er, why are you crying like this?" Qin Wanrou carried her to the chair and wiped her tears.
Nie Shuangling sobbed, "I argued with her and she hit me, wuuuu..."
"Sister, you're the same. Why bother with a child? Stop crying." Qin Wanrou turned to her mother and said, "Go tell sister. Shuangling and I will go down to pay our respects to her."
After a while, he came back to tell his mother that Yuman had gone to Qilin Pavilion to choose a birthday gift for the lady.
Qilin Pavilion?
Qin Wanrou was alert, because there were first-class treasures there. Could it be that Yuman wanted to outdo her at the birthday party because she had recently been favored by Nie's mother?
