The old woman who blocked the way simply said, "Miss Yun San, please don't embarrass us servants. We are just following orders."
When Yun Qiufang asked them whose orders they were following, they fell silent again.
Yun Qiuping didn't want to cause trouble, so she tugged at Yun Qiufang's sleeve and said, "Forget it, third sister, let's go back." She was timid, and this was not the Yun family's territory after all, so she didn't want to cause trouble.
Yun Qiufang was extremely dissatisfied.
Although Yun Qiuchen chose to avoid the spotlight this year because the princess had to attend the Thousand Gold Banquet, she was the champion of the last Thousand Gold Banquet. Everyone knew her true strength. Everyone only thought that the eldest daughter of the Yun family knew her limits and knew when to advance and retreat, and no one dared to underestimate her.
At this Thousand Gold Banquet, Old Lady Yun asked Yun Qiuchen to help take care of things again, and was in charge of the wine, refreshments and meals for each family. Yun Qiuchen did not make any mistakes and calmly demonstrated in front of everyone the management skills required of a qualified mistress of the inner courtyard.
All the wives and daughters of the Yanbei aristocratic families praised Miss Yun, but no one ever remembered that in addition to Miss Yun Qiuchen, the Yun family also had Miss Yun II and Miss Yun III.
Now Yun Qiufang looked at the situation ahead and felt that something might have gone wrong, but Yun Qiuchen didn't want others to know.
Yun Qiuping pulled Yun Qiufang's sleeve again. Yun Qiufang's eyes rolled, then she glared at the two old women and said angrily, "Just forget about letting me in. We'll just ask the eldest sister when she comes back." After that, she pulled Yun Qiuping away.
Yun Qiuping was a little surprised to see Yun Qiufang being so easy to talk to today.
Yun Qiufang walked a few steps further away, but with excitement in her eyes, she whispered to Yun Qiuping, "I know that Fangze Courtyard and the backyard of Qiuhong Courtyard are separated by only an alley. We can quietly go through Fangze Courtyard. No one lives in Fangze Courtyard, so the side door in the alley must be unguarded."
Yun Qiuping hurriedly asked, "Isn't this bad?"
Yun Qiufang rolled her eyes at her. "What's wrong with that?! Big Sister can go in, so why can't we?" She narrowed her eyes slightly, revealing a sly smile like a little fox. "If you're afraid of being blamed, we can just get a few more people to go with us. As the saying goes, the law doesn't punish the masses."
Yun Qiufang grabbed Yun Qiuping without saying anything and ran towards the west yard to get people.
After Yun Qiuchen entered Qiuhong Courtyard, she found that there was no one in the courtyard. She didn't even see the maid who was waiting to report. She couldn't help but become more suspicious. She looked around and found that the main house and the east wing were closed, but the door of the west wing was ajar.
Yun Qiuchen walked to the corridor and stood at the doorway, listening for a moment. Seeing no movement from inside, she frowned and turned to look at her maid, Nanzhu.
Nanzhu understood and called out to the door, "Ms. Wu, Ms. Jiang, are you in there? Our eldest lady wants to see you. Other book friends are reading: Miss Wu? Miss Jiang?"
There was still no movement inside. Nanzhu couldn't help but look at Yun Qiuchen.
Yun Qiuchen had a bad feeling and turned to look at the east wing and the main house, but no one came out to answer.
Jiang Yuanniang's maid Qiuxiang was almost crying. She turned around and asked another maid, "Did the young lady not leave after coming in?"
The maid also turned pale and nodded, saying, "This servant has been waiting outside with the two sisters. The young lady has not gone out."
Yun Qiuchen looked at Wu Yiyu's two maids. The two maids looked at each other and quietly took two steps back but refused to speak. One of them even turned around and ran away.
