As the Lantern Festival approached, Xue Lian began to prepare. However, there was still no suitable candidate to deal with Xue Ruyun. The servants in the mansion were busy preparing for the Spring Festival Gala, but she had no time to care about this. She was thinking about it in the garden that day. A few maidservants could be seen in the distance, whispering to each other as if discussing something.

Just as he was about to scold them, he heard the head maid, Liu Xu, say, "Did you hear? Recently, there have been a few rapist bandits fleeing from the capital. They are vicious and made the people in the capital anxious."

"Ah, that can't be, right? What should we do then?" A maidservant who heard Hua Lian shouted out with a pale face.

"Yeah, the Lantern Festival is coming up in a few days, then wouldn't it be very dangerous if we go out?"

"Don't worry about it, just worry about it," Liu Xu continued with a disdainful look, "I've heard that this Flower Harvester is not an ordinary Flower Harvester, he specifically picked a type of person with excellent looks. But you, look at yourself, I hope they don't look down on you."

"Sister Liu Xu, how do you know so much?" The other maid said with admiration.

"How would I know? I just happened to go home a few days ago to save some family members and listen to my brother talk about this." "Because he lives in Wuden Lane, and so do those rapist thieves."

"So it's like that."

Several maids were still whispering to each other when Xue Lian had already come up with an idea.

"How is it? Has the news been leaked?" Xue Shaoli asked as she was trimming the La Plum in the house.

"Miss, it has already been revealed. It is said that the Second Miss had already sent someone she trusted in the afternoon to find someone in the Wu Dun Lane. "

"That's good." With a 'kacha', Xue Shaoli cut off a few of the best flowers.

Ever since she was young, even though her appearance was outstanding, she could only be used as a foil when Xue Ruyun appeared. As her eldest sister, she was even betrothed to the crown prince, causing her to be endlessly jealous. He never would have thought that after annulling the engagement, Xue Luoyun would once again become famous in the Imperial Palace and receive great attention. Xue Shaoli's eyes could no longer hold Xue Lian's drawings. Now that he saw his little sister so eager to take action, he couldn't help but feel anxious. If he could borrow a knife to kill someone, and his hands were not stained with blood, then why not?

As the Lantern Festival approached, everyone was planning on how to go out for fun. Because the annual Lantern Festival was one of the rare festivals in the capital. This was because not only could one see all sorts of lanterns and acrobatic performances, one could also get to know a fated person through guessing poems and couplets. If one was lucky, they could even meet the person they liked.

"Miss, do you think I should make this rabbit or this butterfly lantern?" Yun Zhi lifted the two of them and excitedly ran in front of Xue Ruoyun, wanting to ask for her opinion.

"You are clever, both of you look good." Seeing the excitement on her face, the reading Xue Ruoyun couldn't help but continuously praise her.

"Then let's take this rabbit lantern along the street tomorrow." Yun Zhi said happily.

"Good, good, good." As if taking away the effects of Yun Zhi, Xue Ruoyun also became excited. He wanted to see what this ancient Spring Festival Gala looked like.

"Great!"

"I say, since you're so excited, don't tell me you're thinking of spring and want to find the person you like at this temple fair?" Xue Ruyun saw that Yun Zhi's face was flushed red. He had never seen Yun Zhi so excited before, so he couldn't help but tease her.

"Miss, why are you making fun of me? You're even making fun of me." Yun Zhi turned her back bashfully.

"It can't be, I've really hit the mark." This little girl had also grown up. Xue Ruoyun repeatedly sighed.

The two of them were playing around when a maidservant reported, "Miss, Third Miss wishes to meet you."

What? Hearing this name? Both of them were shocked. Why is she here? "

This Xue Lian painting had always been incompatible with fire and water with her. Normally, he would be far away from her, Yu Xuan, so why did he come so openly today to seek an audience? However, there was no need to guess. Xue Buyun could imagine with just his toes that this picture was definitely made by a weasel paying New Year respects to a chicken. It was truly an uneasy and kind picture.

"Miss, how about I reject her and say that you are resting right now?" Knowing that Xue Ruoyun never liked to interact with the people of the manor, Yun Zhi quickly said.

"Forget it, it's easy to dodge arrows on the open. If she, Xue Lian, really wants to frame me, I might as well accept it frankly." I don't want her to fail in her plan, so when we go back, we can set up another trap and frame me. " Xue Luoyun generously said.

"Yun Zhi, go invite her in." The reason why he asked Yun Zhi to invite him was not because of how important Xue Lian's visit was, but because the mechanisms in this small courtyard were things that only she and Yun Zhi knew about. Therefore, the reason why he wanted Yun Zhi to go out and lead the way was to prevent Xue Lian from getting injured when she touched the mechanism, so as to avoid her going to complain to Xue Duan Sheng.

Yun Zhi received her orders and walked out. Not long later, Xue Lianhua followed behind her, walking in with an alluring figure.

"Aiyo, he's playing with lanterns. This rabbit is really lively." When Xue Lian came in and saw the lantern on the table, he quickly found nothing to say.

"What are you looking for me for?" Sitting on his seat, Xue Yiyun went straight to the point and asked Xue Lian's painting. He didn't want to beat around the bush with her.

"Elder sister, what do you mean by this? I saw that you haven't left the courtyard for a long time." To think that you were bored in the courtyard, so I came here to chat with you to relieve my fatigue. " Xue Lian said while pretending to be innocent and obedient.

"Oh, really? "Then I thank you for your concern." Xue Luoyun's brows rose as he politely replied.

Seeing her like this, Xue Ruyun suddenly turned her face away with a gloomy expression. Tears flowed down her face, and from time to time, she even took out a handkerchief from her waist, as if she was wiping her tears.

"Alright, alright, what are you doing? "If you do this, those who know will naturally cry. Those who don't will think that you are here to listen to Yuxuan, and that you have suffered a lot from it." Xue Ruyun knew that Xue Lian's favorite act was acting, so he directly exposed her acting.

He quickly stopped his sobbing and turned around. With reddened and swollen eyes, he said, "Little Sister knows that there were some things that were wrong before. Offending Big Sister is the reason why we sisters are separated from each other. I've been thinking and thinking about it. It's rare to have a few blood sisters in my life, so how could I have gotten into such a mess? "My sister was so distant from me, I must have done something wrong, annoyed my sister, and come here today to repent." As Xue Lian spoke, he seemed like he was about to cry again.

When Xue Ruyun saw that Xue Lian had actually said these words today, he was even more surprised. He didn't know where she had sung them today. However, seeing that she was like this with so many servants present, it was naturally not a good idea to be heartless and not fall into her trap. Thus, he had no choice but to play along with her.
