"Miss, it's warm today. Let's go out for a walk." Cui'er, who had been cooped up in the side yard for the entire winter, could not help but make another suggestion.

Looking at the stunned Yun Sheng by the window, Cui'er shook her head slightly. She had made this suggestion who knew how many times. Yun Shengyue refused to take a step out of the side courtyard. If she said too much, she would say, "Go out and play by yourself and ignore me."

Cui'er felt a pang in her heart. She knew in her heart that her young miss was not like this because of the Duke of Qin's indifference. Although the people in the manor talked and speculated about her, who knew what her young miss was thinking about? It was likely because of that young master in Jiangnan.

Unfortunately, the young mistress was unwilling to speak any further. In her opinion, marrying into the manor was better than forgetting the matters from before and fighting for the prince's favor. She had only advised once before and was already frightened by Yun Shengyue's cold gaze.

Just as Cui'er thought that he was wasting his breath, Yun Sheng suddenly stood up and said, "Didn't you say that there was a large lake in the west of the estate? The lake water is beautiful and dark green. Take the zither and let's go sit by the lake."

Ah!" "Alright, alright, I'll go get the zither right away. Miss, you should also add a cloak. There's wind outside." Cui'er was stunned for a moment before immediately reacting, happily looking for Qin. She felt that her young miss was in a good mood, and she was also pretty, and that her drawing style was not bad. If she went out for a walk and got the Prince's attention, her highness would definitely be tempted. In her opinion, her young Miss was much better than that fake, fishy Concubine Jue.

She endured it a few times, but in the end, it was because of their sloppy mouths that made it so that the princes would not be able to stay in the bridal chamber because of her unclean body. If it wasn't for the emperor giving her marriage, she would have long since left the estate.

She didn't dare to tell this to the Miss, and was really angry at her for pushing the little girl away. The result was that she was sued first by the wicked, and it must have been the Immortal Concubine who said something that made the Prince angry and sent them to live in the side yard.

After that, she probably saw that they were no longer a threat and there were fewer people who intentionally caused trouble for her. However, since the Miss had been punished in the side courtyard, how could she expect the other servants to show good faces? She couldn't tell the Miss about this, because the Miss had saved her, and she had a master who lived so well. She couldn't go pester the already sad Miss just because she was a little angry, but in her heart, it was better for her to hope that the Miss could pull herself together.

Although the manor was huge, over the past two months, Cui'er had gotten familiar with a few places. Of course, she had never dared to go to the east yard where the prince lived, or to the area where Qing Mo Xuan handled official business. The green lake to the west was spacious and usually quiet, but she had wandered around a few times.

They happened to run into some servants. When they saw Yun Shengyue, they were stunned on the spot. Before they could react, Yun Shengyue had already walked past without even glancing at them, leaving behind a whisper of curiosity.

Before they reached the lake, they could already hear the melodious sound of a zither. Yunsheng stopped in her tracks, and from afar, as the wind blew, the lake shimmered and shimmered. It was indeed a pleasant sight, but a man and a woman were already sitting in the pavilion by the lake, with a guard and two maidservants waiting outside.

There weren't many people in the mansion now, so he reckoned that the man must be the Duke of Qin, Sheng Yue. With his good eyesight, he looked familiar as he focused on the woman playing the zither without paying any attention to where they were.

The woman beside him looked at the man from time to time with a charming smile. Her fingers were slender and delicate as she lightly plucked the strings of her zither.

It was not jealousy, but envy. In the past, in the Wind City, hadn't she and Baili Yu often played the zither, singing and singing, envious of the people around them?

She withdrew her gaze and turned back to the path she came from. Cui Er glared at the person in the pavilion and could only stomp her foot in frustration before following her back.

"Miss, why did you avoid it?" After returning to the side yard, Cui'er finally asked with unwillingness.

Yun Shengyue held the brush and ignored Cui'er's question.

Cui'er immediately began to rub away the ink, but her mouth still did not stop, "Miss, you are the main wife. That Jue's side wife is nothing. From her manner, it seems like she is the main wife."

"Cui Er, didn't you say that the other concubine has already been in the manor for more than three years? They already have feelings for each other, I am the unnecessary one." His expression was majestic but his hands were free and easy. The outline depicted a pair of wall figures, but their faces could not be seen.

"Miss, why do you think this way? Do you want to live in this side courtyard for the rest of your life while avoiding the prince?" Cui'er frowned, these days are still very long.

Yun Shengyue was slightly taken aback as the ink in her hand dripped onto the paper. With a sigh, she put down her brush and sat back down by the window.

Seeing Cui'er's lonely and sorrowful expression, Cui'er could not help but feel vexed. Just as he was about to change the topic, Yun Sheng asked: "Cui'er, what do you think I should do? Other than trying to please that prince. "

"This …" Cui'er cautiously asked: "Miss, do you really not care about the Prince?"

"Heh, I really don't want to have anything to do with him. He is like that too. He said it clearly on the night of our wedding. We can be considered to have reached a consensus on this." Yun Sheng said with a chuckle. There was no hint of malice in his tone.

Cui'er habitually pouted and said: "Is the prince really so heartless? "It seems that the Prince has been captivated by that foul-smelling woman."

"What fake fishy woman?" The matter of Cui'er being bullied had never been mentioned. Back then, when the Prince had asked them to move out of the Spring Orchid Institute, he had not given them a reason nor had she asked a single question.

"Miss, you don't know. Cui'er didn't want to talk about this at first, but that Consort Jue was too outrageous. Everyone in the manor called her 'Immortal Concubine', as if she was the principal consort. The two maidservants by her side practically grew on top of her head. Every time I went to the kitchen to make things difficult, I thought that there were a lot of rules in the Prince's Mansion, but in reality, they were the ones who instigated it."

"Miss Harmful to move to the side courtyard …" Seeing the impatience on Yun Sheng's face, Cui'er continued, "If the prince is angry at having his daughter move to a side courtyard, it must be that side concubine who blew her head. If not for her indulgence, her maidservant would not dare to say such shameless words."

"Oh, what did he say?" Yun Sheng's interest was piqued. In the past two months, she felt that her heart had died and she had ignored everything. She had forgotten that living in such a huge mansion was not an easy matter and that she did not care, but it was likely that Cui Cui'er had suffered a lot and it was rare for her to endure until today.

"They said... They say that because the young lady was unclean, the prince left his bridal chamber. " Cui'er stammered as she watched Yun Shengyue's reaction. Seeing that her expression did not change, she continued, "If it wasn't for the emperor giving her a marriage, the prince would have given up young miss long ago. He said that the main imperial concubine's position belonged to their master in the first place."

"That's it?" Yun Sheng's tone was indifferent. Such a few sentences was nothing. In comparison, the population of the manor was simple. It was not as complicated as the Baili family.

Second Master Baili had married five wives and had three sons and seven daughters. The children were all scheming and scheming. It was also because of Second Master Baili's orders that the Madam and Young Master lived alone in the two courtyards that no one dared to provoke the people of their courtyard. Furthermore, it was because Second Master Baili had given them advice that the two of them had not wholeheartedly taken care of their young master's servants.

Before she entered the palace, her only mistress was Chen Jue`er. She had already stayed in the palace for more than three years, and had officially become a secondary wife for half a year. It was said that if it wasn't for her lowly status, Murong Yu was determined to take her as his first wife.

Presumably, he had always had the intention of righting her, yet he had cut in with a kick. Not only was he unhappy, Chen Jue`er was definitely even more unhappy.
