Liu Piaopiao pouted and threw herself into Madam Liu’s arms. Tears streamed down her face. “Mother, it’s me. If I hadn’t chased her out of the residence, she wouldn’t have…”

There was no Mo Yuan who barged into the Liu residence at night, nor were there any old maids. Cai Yun wanted to die because she didn’t want to leave.

Liu Piaopiao repeated these words in her heart, as if it would become a fact if she said it a few more times.

“Chase her out of the residence? Why didn’t I hear you mention it yesterday?” Surprise flashed across Madam Zeng’s eyes. Then, she thought of something and understood. She picked up a handkerchief and wiped Liu Piaopiao’s tears.

When Liu Piaopiao came back yesterday, she only remembered to mention the scare. She had indeed forgotten to mention it.

Liu Piaopiao looked up with tears in her eyes. She took a handkerchief and wiped her tears.

For some reason, she did not mention Shen Yijia. She only felt that it was not appropriate for Cai Yun to continue staying by her side.

Madam Zeng could tell that she was not telling the truth, but she was afraid that she would make her precious daughter blame herself even more, so she did not mention it. She only advised, “I know that you value relationships, but everyone has their own fate. It was actually her own choice. Don’t be too sad.”

“Besides, our family has always treated her well. No one expected her to be so extreme.”

Liu Piaopiao sniffed and listened to Madam Zeng. She nodded.

Seeing that she had calmed down, Madam Zeng said, “You lack a personal servant in your room now. Bring Nanny Liu over in the next few days.”

“Or see if there’s anyone you like among the maidservants. You can pick another to serve you.”

Liu Piaopiao was about to say that there was someone in her courtyard when she thought of something and said, “If Nanny Liu goes to my place, you’ll have one less person to serve you.”

Madam Zeng tapped her forehead. “Nanny Cai alone is enough for me.”

“Besides, when you find a new maidservant, you have to return her to me.”

Liu Piaopiao blushed. “I understand. I won’t snatch Mother’s love away.”

“Nonsense again. Aren’t you the one I like?”

Liu Piaopiao sniffed indignantly. “Isn’t it Father?”

“What about me?”

A middle-aged man suddenly walked in. He had good facial features and looked like an upright person.

Although they were from the Liu family, their clothes were only made of fine cotton.

Madam Zeng did not expect her husband to come over at this time. She blushed. Before she could stop her, Liu Piaopiao smiled and said, “I’m saying that you’re Mother’s favorite, Father.”

“Oh?” Liu Deyi raised his eyebrows and glanced at Madam Zeng. He laughed. “What a coincidence. Both of you are my favorites.”

Madam Zeng looked at him reproachfully and suddenly frowned. “Have you found the coachman from yesterday?”

At the mention of the coachman, the smile on Liu Deyi’s face disappeared. “I found him, but he was already gone when I found him.”

“I got someone to investigate his past and found out that Wang Er, who had stolen property because of a gambling debt, was his younger brother.”

Liu Piaopiao also had an impression of Wang Er. He was her father’s servant who had been sent to the court by her father because he had stolen property.

His father originally wanted to teach him a lesson so that he wouldn’t dare to gamble again in the future. Unexpectedly, that person died in prison.

This coachman had only come to the residence after Wang Er died. In that case, it was possible that the coachman had already planned to avenge his brother.

“Amitabha.” Hearing that another person had died, Madam Zeng chanted and twirled the prayer beads in her hand. “Fortunately, our dear daughter is fine. Bad things have happened to our family one after another in the past two days. I think we have to choose a day to pray in the temple.”

Madam Zeng believed in Buddhism and set up a small Buddhist hall at home. Every day, she would copy scriptures for two hours in the small Buddhist hall.

She would not see anyone at this hour, even Liu Piaopiao and her father.

In Madam Zeng’s words, one had to be sincere when copying scriptures and not be disturbed by worldly matters.

Apart from that, their family would stay in the temple for a day every month or two. Recently, because of the Hun army, the city was too chaotic.

It had been a long time since they last visited.

“Alright, we’ll do as you say.” Liu Deyi held Madam Zeng’s hand and patted it.

Madam Zeng pulled her hand away and glared at him. “What are you talking about? The child is still here.”

Liu Piaopiao pursed her lips and smiled. She stood up and bowed. “I won’t disturb Father and Mother.”

When she reached the door, she lifted the curtain and thought of something. She turned around and said, “Get Nanny Liu to heat up the silver fungus soup and send it to my courtyard later.”

“This girl, are you afraid that I’ll snatch it from you?”

Liu Piaopiao made a face and left the house without looking back. Not long after she returned to the courtyard, Nanny Liu came over.

Nanny Liu was as old as Nanny Cai, but compared to Nanny Cai’s shrewd appearance, she looked much more honest.

“Miss, you have to drink this silver fungus soup while it’s hot.”

Liu Piaopiao glanced at the silver fungus soup she brought over, thanked her, and picked it up. She took two sips and asked casually, “Did my father rest in the Elegant Residence yesterday?”

Nanny Liu was helping her tidy up the house. When she heard this, her movements froze, but she quickly continued. She smiled and said, “Master is resting at Madam’s place.”

The abnormality disappeared in a flash. If Liu Piaopiao hadn’t noticed it from the corner of her eye, she probably wouldn’t have noticed it. She tightened her grip on the spoon.

The smile on her face did not fade. “That’s good. My father has been so busy these past few days, and the weather has turned cold. I’m afraid he’ll be so busy that he’ll have to make do in the study again.”

“Miss is a filial person.”

At night, Shen Yijia looked at the notebook she had taken from Liu Piaopiao and frowned.

“Hubby, what does going to Wu Mountain together mean?”

What she was reading now was a scene about newlyweds. It said that the husband and wife would go to Wu Mountain together after drinking together.

Song Jingchen’s eyebrows twitched as he looked at the place Shen Yijia was pointing at.

He pursed her lips and explained seriously, “It means that the two of them went sightseeing together. Coincidentally, dark clouds covered the sky and it started raining heavily.”

Shen Yijia rolled her eyes and threw away the notebook. “Isn’t the bridal chamber fun?” she thought.

“Why would you go up a mountain? The person who wrote this must be crazy.” she thought.

The script that Xiao Ruoshui had chosen for her was better-looking. Liu Piaopiao’s script was so complicated, and it didn’t even have a kissing scene.

It wasn’t easy for her to get to the scene with the bridal chamber, but the two of them went out to climb a mountain. It was so frustrating.

She missed Xiao Ruoshui so much.

Xiao Ruoshui would’ve said something if she knew what Shen Yijia was thinking. “You’re thinking about the script I chose, right?”

Thinking of Liu Piaopiao, Shen Yijia told Song Jingchen about what had happened during the day and repeated what she had taught Mo Yuan.

After saying that, she puffed out her chest. “Look, I know how to reason.” she thought.

Song Jingchen smiled and teased, “Wife, you’re so magnanimous.”

Shen Yijia blushed and recalled being called a wife. She couldn’t help but reach out to Song Jingchen.

Shen Yijia suddenly asked, “Hubby, do you like the bigger ones or smaller ones?”

“Shut up!”

“Okay!”
