Fortunately, she had been standing and did not move. Otherwise, the sight of her crippled leg would have been exposed. This was too much for her to bear.

She hated Lian Yue even more. If she didn't break her legs, she could speak openly now. How could she be like this? She could only stand there without moving.

One month later.

"Hey!" "Ha!"

Lian Ruyue came out of Fuan Courtyard. When she passed by Wen Hua Courtyard, she heard the sound of martial arts training coming from inside and stopped.

Her hands had healed over the past few days, and they were back where they used to be.

When Bi Yun saw Lian Ruyue, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Eldest Miss, you've come."

Lian Ru Yue was about to nod her head when she heard a joyful voice. "Big Sister, you're here?" Lian Meng ran over with a face covered in sweat.

"I just happened to pass by. I heard you were practicing martial arts again. Look at your sweat." Lian Ruyue took two steps forward like an elder sister and used a handkerchief to wipe off the sweat on Lian Fu's face. Lian Lian Fu's face turned slightly red and retreated a step, then used his sleeve to wipe off the sweat on his face and said, "I'm a man, so it's okay if I sweat a little."

"Yi'er has really grown up now." Lian Ru Yue didn't think too much and put the handkerchief away as she said in a gratified manner.

"Big sister, you came at the right time. Last time I went to the horse farm and picked a lot of yellow mulberries, it looked really delicious, but then something happened to you and you lost your mulberry too. I went with 49 today to pick them." Lian Meng said as he wiped the sweat off his face.

"Alright." Lian Ruyue entered the room with Lian Fu. Bi Ran washed the fresh mulberries and placed them on a white porcelain plate. They were plump, shiny, clear, yellow and orange, alluring to the eye.

Lian Ruyue picked up one of them and put it into her mouth. With a bite, the sour, sweet, and sweet juice flowed out, filling her mouth with a fresh taste.

"Delicious." She nodded and ate another.

"As long as you like it." He smiled like a child, a look of satisfaction on his face.

"This is sour, sweet and fresh. My mother is pregnant, so I'll send some to her later." Lian Ruyue ate a few more, then stopped and said.

"I've already asked my wife to send them over to you. These are all for you. You should eat more."

"Yi'er is a considerate man." Lian Ruyue heard what he said and ate two more.

Lian Meng smiled embarrassedly. A red flush appeared on his slightly sweating face as he said, "I just want to eat something delicious for sister."

"Hehe, it's really delicious." Lian Ruyue ate another one. She looked around the room and asked, "Ji'er, you have been particularly obsessed with martial arts recently."

"Since I have nothing to do, I might as well continue practicing." Lian Fu said.

Sister, I learned martial arts in order to protect you. I don't want you to be in trouble every time, I'm the one that's useless. I hope that one day, I can be like the Ninth Prince and become your mountain, the one you want to rely on when you're in danger.

Lian Ruyue smiled, put down her small fork and turned around to look at the door. However, she suddenly saw a shadow flash past.

The smile froze on her face for a moment.

She turned around, eating mulberries as she asked, "Yi'er, are the maidservants and wives in your yard suitable? Is there anything you aren't used to? "

"There are always 4-9 with me every day, and as a servant girl, I will help you change your clothes and eat. I don't feel unwell, what's wrong, elder sister?" Lian Meng noticed Lian Yue's strange expression and asked.

"It's fine, I think it's time for me to leave. Oh right, I have something for you to give your servant girl to give you in the Immortal Lotus Courtyard." Lian Ru Yue stood up and said.

"Alright, I'll walk you out." Lian Fang stood up and held Lian Ruyue's arm to allow her to leave.

Lian Ruyue had a slight smile on her face, but her sharp gaze landed on the maidservants and wives in the room. All of the servants felt her gaze on them, as if they were facing a great enemy. They nervously stood there, not daring to move.

Lian Ruyue went back to the Immortal Lotus Courtyard for an hour. Then, the maidservants, Bi Yun and Hong Yu, came over and knelt in front of her.

"Eldest Miss, here is your tea." Qing Dai placed the teacup in her hand. She picked it up, took a sip, and asked:

"How long have you been by Young Master's side?"

"Reporting to Eldest Miss, this servant is Bi Yan. Eldest Miss just returned to Eldest Young Master's courtyard when she returned from Yao City."

"It was also at that time that this servant, Hong Yu, went to Young Master's courtyard."

"Yes." Lian Xiyue nodded. In the past, the people in the practice yard were arranged by Lady Xiao. After she came back from Yao City, she used some opportunities to change all the people in the courtyard.

"You take care of young master, do your best," she said. "I can see that young master is the direct descendant of our Prime Minister's family, you have to take good care of him, without any mishap. These are my personal rewards."

"Thank you, Eldest Miss." Bi Yun and Hong Yu were terrified as they happily received the gifts from Lian Ruyue.

"As for the item in this box, I want to give it to young master. Take it back and give it to him." Lian Ru Yue then gave them another box as she explained.

"Yes."

After Lian Ru Yue warned the two of them again, they returned. Once they left, her expression darkened as she instructed, "Green Branch, follow them secretly. Tell me everything they did from here all the way to Lian Dao's room."

"Yes." Leng Mei immediately followed him quietly.

After a while, she returned and reported, "Both of them were very happy to receive the reward from Young Miss. That Red Jade, after returning to Young Master's room, she opened the box you gave Eldest Young Master and took a look."

"…" Lian Ruyue nodded and said, "I know."

The incense had been waiting for more than a month, and the Xiao family had finally seen her again.

"Congratulations, Lady Chen Xiang. You will have a beautiful dream come true tonight." When the Xiao family saw the incense drop, they congratulated him.

"This servant doesn't understand madam's meaning …" Chen Xiang asked carefully with a little anticipation in his heart.

"I have made the arrangements. Go to Master Tou's room tomorrow night. If you go in, you can sleep with him. At that time, you will be his concubine. If you give birth to a man and a woman in the future, you will be his concubine."

Hearing this, Chen Xiang was overjoyed. "Really?" She had been waiting for a long time.

"Of course, why would I lie to you? Auntie Chen Xiang has made a fortune in the future, don't forget the people from Clear Spring Academy?" The Xiao Clan deliberately said.

"Madam, you must be joking with me too." The incense lowered its head and blushed, but its heart was filled with joy, as if it had eaten honey.

"However, I'm taking a risk helping you like this. You have to help me do something." She had fought so many aunts and had fought the First Madam before. A mere incense stick fell into her hands and she could do whatever she wanted with it.
