Early morning, Prince Yu's Mansion
The sun is warm and the breeze is just right.
Weather like this is perfect for sitting in the garden and thinking hard.
In a sea of blooming flowers, Xiaoling was playing hide-and-seek with three children. Thanks to the teacher at school being busy today, they had time to play for a while.
Sina, wearing a ginger-colored long dress, sat in a pavilion not far from them, seemingly watching the children running around, but in fact her eyes were staring blankly into space.
After two days of rest, her ankle still hurt.
In order to avoid being discovered, she hid in the house and refused to go out for the past two days. But today, she could not resist the nagging of the three children, and they dragged her out of the room.
What happened the night before was still vivid in her mind. Thinking of how Leng Ming looked when he was afraid of crushing her after she and he fell together, she couldn't help but laugh secretly.
Leng Ming, this guy, hasn't been to Prince Yu's Mansion for two days. Can't he come and ask if his foot injury has healed? What a heartless person.
Thinking of this, she angrily picked up the small wildflowers that the children had just given her, plucked the petals and threw them away, muttering:
"No conscience, really no conscience."
As soon as she finished speaking, a familiar and handsome face appeared out of nowhere, met her eyes, looked at her playfully, and asked in a surprised tone:
"Who has no conscience? Who makes you so angry? I'll help you deal with him later."
Leng Ming?
When Sina realized that the man in front of her was the one she had called heartless, her face flushed immediately. She quickly turned her face away and snorted unhappily:
"What's it to you?"
Leng Ming sat opposite her with a smile on his face, looking at her with half-closed eyes, spreading out the folding fan in his hand, shaking it gently while muttering:
"Why can't I care? You are my fourth sister-in-law's younger sister, and you are a few years older than me. That means you are my sister. If my sister is wronged, how can I not care?"
sister?
This name made Sina's heart sink.
It turns out that he has always treated me as his sister?
But then she laughed at herself in her heart.
Yes, she is five years older than him, and he should call her sister, there is nothing wrong with that, but why does she feel so empty?
Yes, she shouldn't think too much, she shouldn't think about anything.
Thinking of this, she nodded in a casual manner.
"Yes, I am your sister. Please take care of me in the future."
Seeing her somewhat stiff expression and words that were almost as cold as ice, Leng Ming's heart twitched secretly, and an inexplicable sense of loss surged in his heart.
This feeling was something he himself couldn't quite fathom...
"Um...how's your foot?"
Leng Ming finally changed the subject. Xina shook her head without thinking.
"It's okay, I'm fine now, thank you for your concern."
"I told you not to be so polite. Did your sister find out?"
Sina looked off into the distance with a distracted gaze and shook her head gently, "No, my sister is busy and doesn't have time. Besides, she would never have thought that I would sneak out."
Having said this, she pulled out a helpless smile and continued:
"It's all my fault for being too ambitious. I actually thought of sneaking out to watch the fun. I asked for my own fault for spraining my ankle. I should have just broken it."
"Why do you talk like that?"
Hearing that her tone was a little off, Leng Ming frowned and blamed her in confusion:
"That's your own foot. How can you say that?"
"hehe……"
Sina didn't know what to say except laughing at herself.
To be more precise, she had been holding her breath in her heart for some time, and she couldn't explain the anger.
At this moment, Caidie, a maid from the mansion, ran over with a pale face. Before she even got close, she hurriedly reported:
"Second Miss, it's bad, the Emperor has arrived, along with Concubine Li and Concubine Li..."
"What?"
After Xina and Leng Ming asked this question at the same time, Leng Ming asked again:
"Why is the Emperor here? Have my fourth brother and sister-in-law returned?"
Caidie shook her head vigorously in panic.
"No, the prince has gone to the military camp, and the princess has gone to the clinic. They both have to be back in the evening. Butler Agang is arranging the reception, and he secretly asked me to inform the second young lady to make preparations early. There are too many people coming to the palace this time, and they came too hastily. Everyone in our mansion is a little flustered."
Leng Ming glanced at Xina and said to her vigilantly:
"Quick, call your mother and go back to your room to hide."
When Sina heard this, she was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously and ran quickly towards the direction of the three children.
After Leng Ming tidied his clothes, he walked towards the front hall with a calm expression.
Since Fourth Brother was not at home and he happened to be in the mansion, there was no reason for him not to go and receive the Emperor.
Xiaoling, who was playing with three children, heard what Xina said and immediately told the three children:
"Remember, you can't mention grandma and aunt in front of the emperor. You must remember this, understand?"
An An was the first to nod heavily, "We know. Mother told us when we went to the palace last time. Don't worry, grandma, we won't say anything."
Sina also squatted down anxiously and repeatedly instructed the three children:
"Auntie knows that you are all obedient and sensible children, but the emperor's sudden visit to our Prince Yu's Mansion must mean something bad is going to happen, so you must be more careful when you speak and don't let others trick you into revealing your secrets, understand?"
