Although Madame Zhou's face was a little rosy, her lips were still pale. At the moment, there was still some dark green on them. It must be because he had been having a hard time lately! Li Die averted her gaze and stopped looking at her.

"Auntie Zhou, try this tea." Li Die reminded her as she took a sip of tea.

Aunt Zhou, on the other hand, didn't say anything. She obediently carried the teacup from the previous year. After putting it down, she said with a smile on her face, "This Yan Luo's cooking skills are getting better and better! This tea really has a lingering fragrance from the lips and teeth, it's really an unstoppable aftertaste! "

When Yan Luo heard Zhou's praise, its small face reddened a little, but it immediately felt a bit embarrassed.

"Aunt, don't praise her so highly. Otherwise, who knows how this girl would feel proud of her!" Li Die teased with a hint of a smile. Although her tone was teasing, her expression was filled with a deep love.

"Miss." This time, Yan Luo was a bit unhappy. It stomped its feet and angrily called out to her.

Seeing her like this, Auntie Zhou also laughed along with Li Die. However, her expression was no longer as reserved as it was before.

Aunt Zhou stayed with her for a while longer before getting up to leave. As soon as Li Die left, the smile in her eyes disappeared, and she turned to Yan Luo, who hadn't noticed anything strange from her side, "Your attitude towards Aunt Zhou today is a bit different than before. I remember you disliked her before, right?"

It was only natural that she didn't ask. The change in Yan Luo's attitude was too sudden, and she didn't even have the time to react. It could be seen that this Auntie Zhou was no longer as useless as she was before.

"Does Miss not like this servant being close with Aunt Zhou?" Yan Luo asked in a somewhat reserved manner. Her small hands were fidgety as they fidgeted with the clothes in front of her, making people feel that it was funny. After all, Yan Luo rarely showed such a tender expression on her little daughter's face. His mood could not help but brighten up, even the depressed feeling from before had completely disappeared.

"Of course not. It's just that when I saw the way you treated her today, I was a bit curious so I asked." Li Die's eyes were wandering around her body. There was a trace of a smile on her face that made people feel confused.

"When the young lady was captured by the Grand General, it was also because Aunt Zhou came frequently to pay attention to the young lady's situation, and even helped the servant girl in all aspects. Even when the Fourth Miss came to the Peacock Pavilion to cause trouble for the servant girl, it was all because of Aunt Zhou who pleaded for the servant girl. What's more … Moreover, this servant truly is pitiful to see Fourth Miss being bullied. " Yan Luo lowered its head and said. It was afraid that Li Die would blame her for what she did, but it seemed like she didn't dare to look at her.

Li Die was rather confident before, but now she lowered her head. It was quite pitiful for her.

She wasn't angry at her, but her expression was rather amusing. She pursed her lips and said, "I didn't know that Aunt Zhou had such good intentions, but at the same time was also so pitiful!" After all, they had never been on good terms with each other, so why would she be so worried about herself? Even the servant girl beside her was worried about her.

After all, no one would treat you so well. After all, she had seen a lot of things, and after going through all of these things, her thinking had matured a bit. She didn't think that things were as simple as a carrot sticking to the surface.

Yan Luo secretly lifted its eyes to size her up. Although her words sounded a bit unpleasant, there was no anger on her face. She could not help but slightly heave a sigh of relief.

Since the young lady wasn't angry, she didn't behave like she did before. She immediately ran over to her side with a fawning smile and said, "Your servant only saw her being bullied by the fourth lady and felt somewhat pitiful."

Li Die saw that she still didn't know anything and couldn't help but to shake her head. Even if she was used by someone right now, she still didn't know and just felt sorry for him!

She was always reluctant or unwilling to destroy Yan Luo's innocence and kindness. After all, Yan Luo was able to live simply by itself. Who would still wish to become a schemer and use him all day long? If others didn't feel tired, he would feel extremely tired.

"Miss, tell me, why do the fourth lady always have to deal with Madame Zhou, and why is she so disgusted?" Every time she saw the fourth lady looking at Auntie Zhou, her eyes would be filled with undisguised disgust.

Although she was a bit simple-minded and a bit impulsive, she was not stupid, so she could still distinguish the meaning from the fourth lady's eyes.

Li Die gave a faint smile and said carelessly, "Perhaps Fourth Sister is jealous of Auntie Zhou's beauty." Her words were not a complete joke, and Li Rou Ping did look down on her because of her appearance. Naturally, she wanted to use this opportunity to make sure that she would never be able to stand up again.

"Huh?" Yan Luo was surprised by her words. It was even more unbelievable. It had never thought that Li Rou Ping hated Auntie Zhou this much because of this.

Li Die just smiled faintly and didn't want to explain anything to her. Yan Luo's face was a bit red.

"Madam is here." Just as Zi Yi pushed open the door, she spoke to Li Die who was inside. Madam Wang was the official wife of the mansion, and there was no need to inform anyone that she wanted to enter her daughter's little yard. Therefore, Zi Yi only said this to the house when she opened the door for Madam Wang.

Mrs. Wang didn't care about Zi Yi as she walked into the house with a smile on her face. Li Die was originally leaning against the soft wall, but when she saw Zi Yi walk in, she stood up and bowed.

The person she didn't want to see the most was her. However, she didn't seem to want to do as she wanted, running over as soon as she returned to her own small courtyard. Li Die only frowned slightly as a hint of impatience and coldness flashed across her eyes.

After all, every time she faced her, she couldn't help but think of that time when she looked at her with hope filling her eyes. Yet, she would only turn her head away coldly, not saying a single word to protect her, and not giving her any hope.

This made her heart feel even colder, but she didn't know why she was able to face her without a shred of guilt. Could it be that she wouldn't have any regrets?

"Mother." Li Die hid her expression and called out subtly. In the past, although she had always called her mother, there was a trace of warmth on her face. It was unlike the current aloof and distant expression she had.
