Yining sat up without waiting for Xuezhi to call her.
Xuezhi didn't know what to say. She half-knelt down and spoke to Yining: "Sister, about the Fourth Young Lady..."
Yining shook her head. "I heard you talking to Songzhi just now. No need to say more. Change my clothes and let's go to the main hall."
Xuezhi held her hand and whispered, "Sister, although we discovered this, it wasn't us who exposed it, so it has nothing to do with us... You don't have to worry."
But Yining didn't think so.
When she found the note, she knew this was a very tricky matter. If she reported it, given Old Lady Luo's temper, she would definitely not let Luo Yiyu go. Luo Yiyu and her relationship was already bad, so a falling out was not impossible. If she didn't report it, and someone else found out, they would all be implicated. So Yi Ning thought of a compromise: she warned Luo Yiyu, hoping she would restrain herself.
She had thought the matter was over. She was sure Luo Yiyu wouldn't be so foolish as to let anyone else find out, but she hadn't expected it to be discovered.
So who discovered it? And they even mentioned it directly to Mrs. Luo.
Xuezhi took Yining's hand and got her up, combed her hair into a bun, changed her into a short jacket, and accompanied her to the main hall.
The courtyard was horribly quiet, you could hear a pin drop. Because it was so quiet, it seemed even more depressing.
Yi Ning's footsteps became lighter as she thought back to her past life. A young lady fell in love with a servant, had an affair with him, and even had the servant spread the news. The daughters of that family were forced to marry far away to avoid suspicion, or waited a long time without any marriage proposals. Finally, the young lady couldn't stand it anymore and committed suicide. The family also hated the servant so much that they beat him to death and refused to bury him...
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became.
The latticed doors in the main hall were barely closed, making no sound. Outside, guarding the corridor, Luo Yixiu and Luo Yilian were standing guard. A large group of maids and servants had also been cleared out.
"Yining, come here!" Luo Yixiu looked up and saw that it was Yining. She took her hand and sat down with her. Yining felt that her palm was wet, as if she was sweating.
Luo Yixiu said uneasily, "Yi Yu was just called over by Grandma. I've never seen Grandma look so unhappy. Only my mother and fourth sister were in the room. Even when I wanted to go in... Mother Xu asked me to come out!"
This matter was of great importance, so of course the fewer people who knew about it, the better. Yi Ning felt relieved when she heard this. Even Luo Yixiu didn't know about it, which proved that not many people knew about it. She looked at Luo Yilian and found that although her face was calm, she was holding the scarf tightly in her hand.
"When Fourth Sister was called away by Mother... she was doing needlework with Fourth Sister, so she came over together." Luo Yixiu said in a low voice.
Luo Yilian looked at Yining and felt uncomfortable from the inside out. She smiled softly and said softly, "Why did Seventh Sister come here? Shouldn't Seventh Sister be taking a nap at this time? Did she hear something?"
Luo Yilian, worthy of being Aunt Qiao's daughter, reacted quickly.
Yi Ning smiled and said, "Sixth sister, you're overthinking it. I was just woken up by the little girl in the room."
As soon as Yi Ning sat down, she heard noisy footsteps coming from outside the courtyard. She walked over and saw someone wearing a scarlet jacket. It was Lin Hairu, accompanied by her maids and servants. She waved to Yi Ning, asking her, "...I was just called over here. Do you know what happened in there?"
Yining doesn't know either.
Lin Hairu was a little nervous, thinking of the bad look on the face of the old woman who had just come to tell her. She frowned tightly.
The lattice door in the main hall creaked open, and Madam Xu came out, bowing and saying, "Old Madam, please invite the Second Madam and the Seventh Miss in."
Yining frowned secretly. This was strange. There must be a reason for asking Lin Hairu to come in, but why did she ask her to come in?
Lin Hairu took her little hand, straightened her temples and walked into the main hall.
Luo Yiyu knelt on the floor of the main hall, her eyes red from crying. She sobbed in grievance, and when she raised her head, her cold gaze turned to Yining, hiding her unconcealed resentment.
Yi Ning sighed in her heart. Just as she guessed, Luo Yi Yu suspected that she was the one who informed on the matter.
Mrs. Luo sat on the armchair, her face solemn. Mrs. Chen didn't dare to sit down at all, and stood beside her.
"Luo Yining, didn't you say you wouldn't tell anyone?" Luo Yiyu's body trembled, her voice low and hoarse with a hint of sharpness, "You promised me! Now that others know, you'll feel better, right? You've always disliked me, but I didn't know you were so cruel at such a young age! If others find out, I'll be ruined, and then you'll get what you want?"
When Chen heard this, she looked at the little Luo Yining standing next to Lin Hairu.
Luo Yiyu's words were indeed harsh, and she had indeed made a mistake. But how could Chen Ning know about this? If she had really spread the news, Chen Shi would not let Yi Ning off easily. Although she wanted to slap Luo Yiyu to death, her daughter was her daughter after all, and in this situation, she had to protect her child.
But if Old Mrs. Luo heard this, she would inevitably dislike Luo Yiyu even more.
Chen's face turned cold, and she scolded her daughter in a low voice: "Luo Yiyu, now is the time for you to admit your mistakes! How can you blame others? Yining is young, what can she know? Don't be confused!"
"Yining knew it," Luo Yiyu said stubbornly. "Who else could it be if not her? It's impossible that my girl told them."
