"The flowers are blooming. It's good to be out for a walk." She rarely interacted with Chen Jue`er, and the other party also had a faint smile on his face. However, she always felt enmity towards him, so he guessed that she must have made it very obvious that she would not try to woo him.

"This cat is really beautiful." However, it was not convenient for her to return to Jincheng. She only brought Baili Yu and that white-furred, blue-eyed cat with her hair. Unfortunately, she died not long after.

Ah!" Yun Sheng had originally wanted to touch the yellow cat, but the cat refused to appreciate her kindness and gave her a vicious claw.

Cui'er immediately ran over when she heard the shout. Seeing that her hands had been grabbed by someone, the two long wounds had already started bleeding. She anxiously said, "This beast really doesn't know what's good for it. Its claws are too ruthless. It should be cut off."

"Sorry, sister, I …" "Huang'er, he …" Chen Ju`er's tears dripped as he released his hand, and in the blink of an eye, the cat disappeared without a trace.

"Don't worry, the cat isn't familiar with me. I shouldn't have touched it." Yun Shengyue said in a nonchalant manner.

Cui'er said unhappily: "Miss, it would be better to go back and apply some medicine. Since it's so deep, it wouldn't be good to leave a mark."

Yun Sheng nodded at Chen Jue'er and brought Cui Er back to the side courtyard. Behind him, Chen Ju`er's expression turned malevolent. Ever since Yun Shengyue had entered the mansion, although Murong Yu had not entered her room and even demoted her to the side courtyard, Murong Yu had never entered her room again.

Although she was unable to see what sort of scheme there was between Yunsheng Yue and Murong Yu, this woman was the one who blocked her way. Otherwise, she would have already become the official imperial concubine. After grabbing a rose and smashing the petals to the ground, she angrily returned to her own Immortal Cloud Restaurant.

Not long after he sat down, a wet nurse wearing dark blue clothes came in, "Miss, Mister has sent a message, asking you to get the formation diagram as soon as possible."

"Got it, what's he anxious about?" The study room is not something I can go to as I wish. Chen Jue-er wrinkled his brows, his expression complex.

The mama raised her eyes and said, "Sir, are you in love with her? If so, you can ignore your dead parents and brothers and be your side concubine at ease."

"You! He only knew how to use this to force me, did you also want to force me? "They might as well force me to death." Chen Jue`er's chest heaved up and down as tears rolled down his cheeks. It was obvious that he was feeling extremely uncomfortable.

The originally gloomy mama's eyes flashed with a trace of pity, but she quickly covered it up. "Actually, there's a way that allows you to achieve your goal. Miss can also put herself out of the way."

"What method?" Chen Jue-er immediately raised his head.

After the Senior Servant whispered to her, Chen Jue`er's expression changed. He finally gritted his teeth and said, "Let's do it like this and let them handle the matter cleanly. We can't leave any traces behind."

"Don't worry Miss, just wait and see." The blue-clothed nanny smiled confidently as she left.

Ah!" Early in the morning, frightened screams broke the silence of the Manchu Mansion.

"What are you arguing about!?" It's still early in the morning, don't disturb Master. " Hearing the voice, the elderly Housekeeper Liu walked over and was shocked when he saw who it was.

He saw the fat cat, Huang'er, standing on a laurel branch, covered in blood. His eyes were still wide open, as if he had died with grievance. The blood stains had dried up, and he must have died miserably in the middle of the night.

"Oh my god!" What kind of person is so heartless? "

"That's right, that's too scary. I won't even let a cat go."

"This cat is usually pretty fierce and runs really fast. How did she get caught?"

"This is too cruel, so scary …"

The servants in the house were discussing animatedly. With the usual lifeless atmosphere in the house, it was rare for something to happen that could be discussed. Being so far away from the topic, it was only natural that they would be nervous and curious.

"What's going on?" This place wasn't too far from the main gate, which was his only path out of the manor. Although he wasn't exactly strict, his words were still a bit imposing, and the people in the manor all had their own responsibilities. No one dared to cause trouble here.

Housekeeper Liu quickly said: "A maidservant has discovered Lady Jue's cat …"

When Murong Yu walked over, the servants automatically moved to the side. He immediately saw that this cat only recognized its owner and wasn't close to others. He didn't usually pay much attention to this, but this kind of death was clearly caused by someone intentionally causing trouble in the manor.

Even before it could flare up, Chen Ju`er had brought two maidservants over. Upon seeing the bloody cat on the tree, they all cried out miserably. Her delicate body was swaying on the verge of fainting.

"Huang'er …" Huang'er … What kind of person is so vicious … Your Highness... "Your Highness..." Chen Jue`er sobbed without a sound, feeling an incomparable amount of grief.

"Don't be sad, This King will definitely find out who did it." Murong Yu held her up and comforted her before saying with a fierce glare, "Investigate this matter thoroughly for me immediately. The results will be released tonight."

"Madam, please don't cry. Be careful." Chen Jue`er's personal attendant, Green Pingping, consoled her.

Another personal servant, Red Willow, said as if recalling her memories, "It was only yesterday that Huang'er accidentally injured my wife, I didn't expect …" As he said this, he looked at Murong Yu with a panicked expression and stopped himself.

Murong Yu's expression was unfathomable. He ordered two maidservants to bring Chen Jue`er back to rest and comforted her, "Jue'er, don't be too sad. Rest well. I will definitely find out who did this. I'll give you an explanation."

Chen Jue`er, who was still in a panicked state, left while crying. Murong Yu ordered everyone to disperse themselves. He instructed Housekeeper Liu to bury the cat while he hesitated for a moment before heading to the side yard.

When he returned to the side yard, he saw the empty, overgrown yard. He thought it would be better to plant some flowers on his own, since he had nothing to do with it anyway.

Cui'er was originally bored, so she clapped her hands in agreement and brought over some small farm tools. Today, the two of them wanted to get rid of the weeds and create a flower garden. Taking advantage of the cool morning air and their good spirits, the two of them began to work after eating some porridge and side dishes. They did not know anything about what had happened in the front yard.

"Miss, are you tired? Is your hand okay? " Cui'er asked while she tidied the weeds.

Yun Sheng said with a smile, "It's just a scratch from a kitten. How would it be alright if it was drugged. Now, I don't feel anything at all."

"Yesterday, they were bleeding. Take a look. The marks left by those two wounds definitely won't be gone for a long time." In any case, Cui Er did not like Chen Jue`er, so of course she hated her cat.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. It's better to think about what to plant. Isn't it too wasteful to just plant flowers? How about we also plant some dishes? It's the right time to plant them now. We won't be able to eat them for long." The more he thought, the more excited he became. He began to wave his hoe even more vigorously. In the past, he had accompanied his mother to grow beans, cucumbers and vegetables. He looked great.

Cui'er laughed when she saw the way Yun Sheng Yue worked. "Miss, look at yourself! You look exactly like esteemed wangfei. You're just like a little girl from the countryside." It's a good thing that this is the side courtyard of the Prince's Mansion. If any outsider saw this, they would definitely not believe their own eyes. "

"What's the difference between a wangfei and a country girl? Have you ever seen a wangfei as desolate as your young mistress?" Yun Shengyue smiled and did not care.

Cui'er gathered the grass into a pile and said, "That's right, why can't you see little miss' good behavior, why don't you just leave her here in the side yard."

You're not allowed to speak carelessly. There's nothing bad about this side yard. It's peaceful and free, let's just live a peaceful life. Don't keep complaining about it in the future.

"Of course." Cui'er also laughed, "Cui'er is fine, it's because I feel injustice for little miss. I can't help but accept your kindness."

Don't be so poor, hurry up and work. In the morning, let's tidy up the area and eat lunch, then go ask the housekeeper for some seeds. After a few days, it might be the rainy season again.

"Yes, yes, yes. Miss's words are exactly like a farmer's. I don't think there's a need to grow any flowers, just plant the vegetables, raise some chickens and lay eggs or something. That pond in the corner over there is also good for rearing grass fishes." Cui'er teased.

However, Yun Shengyue's eyes lit up as she said, "What a great idea. Cui'er, your brain has a few moments of flexibility. This land in the middle is all used for growing vegetables, so the flowers are planted next to the wall. It'll definitely look good if you grow up and plant some Purple Vine Flowers, Honeysuckle Flowers and Rose."

Yun Sheng's speech was brimming with energy and vitality. Cui'er could only look up to the sky in speechlessness. Her young miss was really too enthusiastic. She had originally thought that it was just a temporary whim on her part.

The master and the servant were digging the grass and hoeing the ground. They were in high spirits and did not notice at all that a person had appeared at the entrance of the courtyard. After a while, they left.

The one who came and left was none other than Murong Yu.

That night, he had met with Yunsheng Yue and Baili Yu in private. Although he had forcefully suppressed his anger and left without doing anything, it was difficult to get over his resentment.

Didn't he not care about Yun Shengyue? The marriage between him and her was just like what Baili Yu had said, it was only something Imperial Father had forcefully pointed out to him. He hated Yun Chengling and should have also hated Yun Sheng Yue, but ever since he saw her pure and flawless eyes, he could no longer hate her anymore.

After that, he thought that the two of them could reach an agreement and not interfere with each other. In a year or two, they would give up on her according to what she wanted. Why was his heart always so depressed? After enduring for more than a month, he had deliberately avoided seeing her and thinking about her matters. The guards also reported that she had always been peacefully staying in the side courtyard without any problems, and they had not seen anyone else.

This meant that she had complied with the agreement, so he could not find any reason to come and see her. He had thought that since she was honest, he would give her a new yard, but he did not expect that she was so content with the situation that she actually planned to plant her own garden. Moreover, it was the first time he had seen such a bright smile on her face, and even though she often smiled in the palace, her smile was polite and distant.

When he saw her, he knew that she definitely did not do it. Although he didn't have any proof, even though he was a little disappointed, he was sure that it was definitely not done by this pretty girl with a bright smile on her face.

If he went in, it would ruin their interest, so he came and left. Since it wasn't her, it was better to investigate this matter more carefully. Recently, several hidden guards had been transferred to the side yard.

However, this time, Royal Father did not agree. Royal Father said that he only had two sons, and he wanted them to stay in Jin City, so he could only comply. However, they had maintained contact with their benefactor, Old General Hong. Since the Southern Army was approaching, they should be on their guard.

The feeling that he couldn't find an answer left him for now, and he returned to the study with a dark expression. Not long after he sat down, Black Three entered. He and Hei San had been sent to the borders to secretly assist General Hong seven years ago. Hei San had just returned a few days ago and brought back an extremely important formation diagram of the borders with him. As he was not familiar with the situation at the borders of the Southern Abyss, he needed this diagram to understand the situation.

"Your highness, this subordinate checked and found that General Wei's body is fine." Black Three's greatest specialty was collecting intelligence, and he also excelled in lightness techniques. Two days ago, Murong Yu wanted to nominate Wei Cheng to go to the border trial to help Old General Hong, but he just happened to be sick and was recuperating at home. Although he personally went to visit and saw him lying in bed with a sallow complexion, he had a feeling that something was off about this illness.

Murong Yu frowned and said, "This matter should be done in advance. Don't go to the General's Estate anymore. Something happened in the Residence. First, help the butler investigate who did this."

"Yes sir!" Just as Black Three left, he entered, covered in dust and wind.

Murong Yu immediately put down the map in his hand. He then cupped his hands and reported, "Your highness, your subordinate has already found out the identity of that person."

"Speak!"

"This person is Baili Yu, and is from a wealthy family in Jiangnan. He lives in business and has never tested for his position. The fourth generation of the Baili family's business is quite rich and not infamous at all. One month ago, the Baili family and General Wei had become in-laws. " Hei Li looked tired after travelling for a long distance.

Murong Yu was slightly surprised when he heard this and asked urgently, "General Wei's only daughter married that Baili Yu?"

"Exactly."

"Alright, you've worked hard. Go and rest first." Murong Yu leaned back in his chair and pondered.
