Madam Xiao smiled brightly as she prepared to enter, but was stopped by a hand from Lian Tian. "Madam, please excuse yourself. Your excellency said that you are busy with official business. Please return first."

"…" She looked for a way out herself and said, "That's right, I forgot. Recently, the old master has been busy with his work, so he has been busy with his work, so when the old master is free, I'll come back."

She turned around with a smile on her face, but when she turned around, the smile froze on her face.

She purposely dressed up today and walked proudly over with the broth. Everyone knew that she, the Madam, had happily come over to Lian Yanqing's side, but now she was also carrying the broth all the way back. It was truly too embarrassing to be seen by others.

Her hand, which was holding the broth, was tightly wrapped around the rim of the bowl. Her fingertips were pale.

After returning to the Clear Spring Academy, she slammed her bowl down on the table, her expression extremely unsightly. Zhen mama walked over and asked, "Madam, what's wrong?"

"This soup is too salty. Master doesn't like it. Pour it in and boil it again!"

"Yes." Senior Servant Zhen didn't understand what was going on. After carrying the bowl of soup out, she took a bite from the spoon and said to herself, "The taste just so happens to be good. It's not salty at all."

On a veranda not far from Lian Yan Qing's study, Lian Ruyue stood there quietly. She wore a plum flower pattern on her crimson cloak, and her hands were holding onto a Tang Mu. She looked extraordinary and refined under the contrast of the snow.

At this moment, her eyes held a hint of a smile. Looking at her extremely peaceful appearance, no one would be able to detect the cold look she gave out from the corner of her eyes.

"Eldest Miss, now that she has a concubine, her tail is raised to the sky. She doesn't even go to pay respects to Eldest Madam anymore. I didn't expect that the Master would ignore her. What a relief." Fairy Qingmei stood at the side and saw with her own eyes how the Xiao Clan was so angry that they couldn't react and had to smile just now.

Unexpectedly, Lian Xiyue only lightly said, "As expected."

Indeed, even though Xiao Xian Min had already become an equal wife, this was not Lian Yan Qing's original intention, it was forced upon her by the emperor. Lian Yan Qing was originally not happy in his heart, and not only that, she was also a "Heaven Destroyer, Calamity Star", which meant that whoever got close to her was unlucky.

Xiao Xian Min was overestimating her position in Lian Yan Qing's heart.

"Return to the Immortal Lotus Courtyard." Lian Yueyue turned and left, passing through two corridors, then a long hand veranda, then two archways, stepping on the ground. The snow creaked.

"It's always snowing. I wonder when it will stop." Qing Dai, who was holding Lian Ruyue's hand, couldn't help but sigh as she looked at the vast expanse of whiteness in the prime minister's residence.

Previously, they had been living in Yao City. It was a rare sight to see snow all year round. This was the first time they had seen snow like this.

"That's right. This year's snow was especially heavy. It lasted a bit longer." Lian Ruyue said as she thought of something.

"I wonder how young master is doing now?" "He has always been taken care of well by others, but now that he has suddenly left, that guy 49 or 90 is still a man after all. I wonder if he will be able to take good care of us." Senior Servant Li suddenly said.

Once her words left her mouth, everyone looked at Lian Yue Yue, but she didn't say anything. Everyone immediately fell silent, and the only sound that could be heard was the crunching of snow under their feet.

Just as he was about to step into the lotus flower courtyard, a shadow suddenly flew over.

"Who?" Her palm chopped out like lightning, striking the shoulder of the incoming person. The person fell heavily two meters away, the snow falling so high that it created a hole in the ground.

"How dare you! How dare you be so reckless in front of the young miss! Be careful not to kill you!" With a face as cold as Satan's, he stared coldly at the person on the ground.

The man crawled up hurriedly, not bothering to pat the snow off his body, he kneeled on the ground, kowtowed continuously, and said, "First Miss, please spare me, First Miss, please spare me. This servant, this servant, this servant has no other way, so I stayed here and waited for Eldest Miss, begging Eldest Miss for help."

Lian Ru Yue slightly frowned as she looked at the person in front of her. With a clear and cold voice, she lightly said, "Raise your head."

Only then did that person slowly raise his head. His face was covered in tears, and his mouth was riddled with wounds. When the young woman saw who had arrived, she was startled. "Eldest Miss, this is Clear Spring Academy's Soo Zhu."

"Clear Spring Academy's Xiu Zhu?" Lian Ruyue's eyes flashed with thoughts as she asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Speak, why are you waiting here for Eldest Miss?" asked Indigo.

"Eldest Miss, your servant really …" I won't be able to live much longer. "

As for how her brother was so seriously ill that he needed a silver tael for first aid, she was unwilling to let it go. After finding a reason to drive her out of Clear Spring Academy and send her to the laundry, she once again cried and finally kowtowed, begging for help.

Even Ru Yue looked at her scarred mouth and thought to herself, "Generally speaking, masters and servants wouldn't show it on the surface, especially Xiu Zhu. This scar is so obvious, is the Xiao family doing this because they have become an ordinary wife?" Or did he do it on purpose?

"Although you have already gone to the Western Hospital, you are still her person. If I accept you, you will become the target of gossip. Leave and don't appear around me again."

Lian Ruyue coldly turned around and prepared to leave, but she glanced at Soo Zhu from the corner of her eyes.

Seeing that Lian Lu Yue was about to leave, Soo Zhu became anxious and wanted to chase after her, but when she saw Leng Mei, she was so scared that she did not dare to get too close to her. She could only kneel on the ground, step by step, and bitterly begged, "Eldest Miss, please do not leave. "He's about to die. This servant's parents left early, and I've lived with big brother ever since I was young. I really can't ignore him now. Eldest Miss, please be merciful …"

When she reached the point of being sorrowful, Soo Zhu fell to the ground and cried. Her tears fell drop by drop onto the snow, and she looked extremely miserable.

Lian Ru Yue finally stopped and turned around. Her pair of starry eyes were like paint as she looked at the pitiful maid on the ground and asked, "There are so many people in the Prime Minister's Estate. Why did you come to find me alone?"

Hearing that, Soo Zhu's body trembled. She looked up with a trembling head and a trace of fear in her eyes as she said, "Because, because only First Miss is not afraid of the current Madam, this servant …" "Your servant has no choice …"

What Xiu Zhu said was not bad. Because they were afraid of the Xiao family's power, the other wives and mistresses of the mansion did not openly fall out with the Xiao family. They maintained harmony with them on the surface and even the Hu family, who usually refused to yield to anyone, quieted down and did not find trouble with the Xiao family.

"Get up." She said to Soo Zhu.

Xiuzhu tremblingly asked, "Eldest Miss, did you agree?" There were still tears on her cheeks.

"Eldest Miss, could it be that there's some sort of trick up your sleeve? This is someone from Madam Xiao's side. It's best to be careful." "What are you talking about?" asked Qing Dai in a low voice as she approached Lian Ruyue.
