The maid had a simple and honest appearance as she raised her head. She was indeed the third rate servant of the Butterfly Dance Garden, Little Chun Zi.
Xiao Chunzi continued: "Since you guys came back yesterday, the news of your return has spread throughout the academy. It was said that the five of them were willing to sacrifice themselves to save the four of them. The servants had almost thrown the five young ladies into the sky, saying that it was all thanks to their bravery and righteousness, and that they were even better than the four young ladies. "
"Whap."
Li Rou Ping slapped Little Chun Zi until her face was burning.
Xiao Chunzi lowered his head, a trace of undetectable light flashing through his eyes. On the surface, Little Chunzi kowtowed and admitted his wrongs in fear and trepidation.
"Go down and continue monitoring Li Die's every move. If anything happens, report to me immediately." Li Rou Ping said in a stern voice.
"Yes, fourth lady."
Xiaochun Zi gently closed the door to Li Rou Ping's room.
"Li Die, you little slut, you praise yourself so greatly, so that they will praise you for your benevolence and righteousness right? Do you want everyone to worship you and take you to heaven? You hypocritical woman, I will see if you have the ability to do so. I want to let everyone in the world see your true face. The day when the truth is revealed will be the day of your death. "
Li Rou and Ping's faces were filled with hatred. She twisted the jellyfish handkerchief in her hand and thought about the next step to make Li Die lose her reputation.
It was still ten days away from the fifth day of the fifth month. It had been more than half a month since Mang Shan encountered the robbers. Wang Yuyue still spared Li Die a good morning.
Li Die: There's nothing to do every day. Aside from reading and embroidery, you can't go out of the house to play. It's so boring. There were even more rules than there were in the general's estate.
Today, Li Die, as usual, reclined in the Imperial Consort's chair to read, while Fourth Sister Li Ruping suddenly came to visit.
"Sister Four is here?" Li Die puzzledly asked.
"Yes, Fifth Miss. Jadeite also has a beautiful big box in her hands." Yan Luo replied honestly.
"Oh? "Quick, invite him in."
When the two sisters saw each other, they first greeted each other.
Li Rou Ping pointed to the jade box behind her, smiled and said, "Isn't this the Dragon Boat Festival? Mother specially made a new set of clothes for each of our children. Coincidentally, I haven't seen Fifth Sister for a long time, so I asked to bring them to Fifth Sister. "Fifth sister, quickly try to see if it fits. If it doesn't, we can still get the embroidery lady in the mansion to change it."
Li Die gestured towards Yan Luo, who quickly took the new clothes.
Li Die said smilingly to Li Rou and Ping, "Of course you don't have to change. All the embroidery ladies in my residence know about it."
"That's for the best," Li Rou and Ping looked at Li Die's face, which didn't resemble hers at all. A trace of killing intent flashed in their eyes as they intentionally ridiculed her, "Mother loves Fifth Sister the most, so you don't need to wake up early to serve mother."
"Yeah, although Die has received my mother's kindness, she misses her mother's kindness all the time. With all her sisters by her side, she is slightly gratified."
Pretending to be stupid, who doesn't know how to? Li Rou Ping treated her coldly and strangely, so Li Die didn't insist on fawning on her.
Li Rou Ping felt that it was boring, so she stood up to leave. Li Die didn't ask her to stay and walked Li Rou Ping to the door before returning.
"Fifth sister?"
"Second brother, what did you bring me today?" Li Die said with a smile.
"Of course it's fun." When Li Xiao Yuan met Li Rou and Ping outside, he only greeted them in a hurry and asked, "Fourth Sister, what are you here for?"
Li Die's eyes flashed, "It's nothing, isn't it already the Dragon Boat Festival? We have to go out to see the Dragon Boat competition, so mother made a new set of clothes for each of us and brought it here. Second brother also has some."
"That's only natural. When did you miss my share?"
Li Xiao Yuan replied as he muttered in his heart. Ever since he came back from the General's Estate, Li Rou Ping's eyes were filled with an expression that he could not understand. It was so gloomy that it was scary. He didn't know why.
"Second brother, what are you still standing there for? Come on in." When the saddle walked to the door of the room and saw Li Xiao Yuan still standing there, she urged him.
Li Xiao Yuan could only shake his head, thinking that he must have overthought things.
Ever since Mang Shan, the relationship between Li Xiao Yuan and Li Die had gotten better and better. Li Xiao Yuan knew that Li Die was bored in the backyard, so every time Li Xiao Yuan got something interesting, he would share it with Li Die.
Waiting for his second brother's every visit had also become a distraction from Li Die's boring life in the backyard.
Just like today, Li Xiao Yuan had obtained an exquisite bow, which he also gave to Li Die to relieve her boredom.
The two siblings were having fun.
Suddenly, Li Xiao Yuan seemed to have thought of something and asked: "Fifth Sister, what do you want for your childhood? "No matter how difficult it is, second brother will always bring it to you."
"Growing old?" Li Die was stunned.
That's right, it would be the turn of her and Sister Four after lunch. She was almost fifteen, and the matchmaker was coming to propose.
For some reason, when Li Die thought of the matchmaker, she thought of Liu Yichen's beautiful face.
"Fifth sister, why is your face so red?" Li Xiao Yuan shouted curiously as if he had discovered a new continent.
"Hey, second brother, what are you calling me? I'm definitely a bit tired." Li Die pretended to be weak.
Li Xiao Yuan was convinced and asked hurriedly, "Is he sick?"
"No, I'll rest for a while."
There was a huge gap between the son of a first rank tutor and the daughter of a fourth rank maester.
On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Li Die was pulled out of her bed early in the morning. For a girl from a big family that was able to leave the house in broad daylight, the Dragon Boat Festival was definitely a good day.
Everyone was so excited that they couldn't sleep last night. Li Die had also just fallen asleep when she was a child.
Quickly combing her hair and washing her face, the maidservant Xia Peach and Dong Mei served breakfast. Li Die hastily ate a few mouthfuls.
When they entered the inner room, Yan Luo had already taken the dress that Li Rou Ping had sent over ten days ago and was waiting for them.
"I don't want to wear this." He didn't know why, but even though the pink soft silver light lily dress looked really good, Li Die felt that if she didn't want to wear it from the bottom of her heart, what would happen if she did?
"My good girl, this is just the beginning, and we're about to set off. Please don't make this difficult for us." Yan Luo said with a wronged expression.
"Fine." Li Die was forced to put on this dress by Yan Luo. She wore a silver gilt jeweled dragonfly hairpin, red jade drop earring, coral palm tree, and a peony silk fan. She powdered slightly and a devastatingly beautiful beauty immediately appeared in front of Yan Luo.
