At the corner door of Songtao Court, the lights were dim and a figure was anxiously pacing back and forth in the cold wind.

Finally, someone knocked on the door in a soft and rhythmic manner. The figure froze for a moment, then quickly went up to open the door.

The figure outside handed over a letter, made a few hand gestures, and quickly left.

The dim light fell on Fuyan's face, making her expression blurry and distorted.

She quickly stuffed the letter into her bosom and checked the corner door again. She looked around to make sure that no one had seen her movements before quickly leaving.

Chu Lian and He Sanlang returned to Songtao Court. When Gui Momo saw the young couple enter one after the other, her eyes narrowed and her heart became perturbed.

Seeing that Chu Lian had directly entered the quiet room without saying a word to Third Young Master, Gui Momo knew that something was wrong.

While He Changdi was in the study, Xiyan was pulled over to her side for questioning.

"What's going on?

Wasn't everything fine when Third Young Madam left this morning? "

In reality, Xiyan was also confused. "Momo, I'm not too sure either. It seems that Third Young Madam and Third Young Master got into an argument on the way here. Also, we bumped into Old Master on the way here."

Xiyan's face was full of worry. She still had lingering fears about what had happened in Countess Jing 'an's courtyard!

Gui Momo looked like she was deep in thought. She said solemnly, "Tell me in detail."

Of Chu Lian's four personal maidservants, it was Xiyan and Wenlan's turn to be on duty tonight. The personal maidservant who wasn't on duty could return to her room to rest.

He Changdi sat in front of his desk. The night was unusually quiet. There was only the occasional crackle of a lamp in the study.

He Changdi's dark eyes stared at the empty space in front of him. He Changdi propped his head up with one hand as if he was thinking about something. However, no one knew that his mind was currently filled with Chu Lian's figure.

The conversation she had with Chu Qizheng in the carriage, the agreement they had reached behind the screen wall, her cold and distant attitude towards him, and the words she had said to his aunt that she was Jinyi Village Lord.

He Changdi suddenly felt a deep sense of crisis. He didn't want to continue acting with her.

This was clearly torture for him.

He Sanlang's hand on the table suddenly clenched so tightly that even the veins on the back of his hand were bulging.

He stood up abruptly and was about to leave the study when someone knocked on the door of the study.

He Changdi paused. In the next second, he narrowed his eyes.

Perhaps because there was no response from inside, there were two more knocks on the door, followed by a soft female voice.

"Third Young Master, it's this servant. I've come to bring you some tea."

It was Fuyan's voice.

He Changdi's lips curled into a mocking smile.

"Come in."

With a creak, the door of the study was pushed open by a slender hand from the outside.

In the reception hall, Chu Lian was drinking the white fungus and lotus seed soup when Bai Cha came in to report.

"Third Madam, this servant saw it with my own eyes. It was Fuyan."

At this time, those who were serving Chu Lian were all trusted aides. Whether it was Xiyan, Wenlan or Gui Momo, all of their faces were filled with shock.

Fuyan, it was actually Fuyan!

Bai Cha's face was pale with fright. After she was promoted to a second-rank maidservant in Songtao Court, she was very respectful towards the main maidservants by her mistress's side. She didn't expect that Fuyan, who was closest to her mistress, would have such a disloyal heart.

Chu Lian's face was very calm, as if she already knew about this.

"Third Madam, this old servant will bring some people to capture that lowly wench Fuyan right now," Gui Momo said through gritted teeth.

It was one thing to say that Fuyan and Jingyan had betrayed their mistress. After all, they were bought by Second Madam when Chu Lian got married to make up the numbers.

But Fuyan and Xiyan were the same. They had been by Chu Lian's side ever since they were at the Duke of Ying and had a master-servant relationship with Chu Lian for several years.

Chu Lian reached out to stop Gui Momo.

"Third Madam …" Gui Momo said anxiously.

"There's no need to go."

Chu Lian's voice was calm. If the relationship between her and He Changdi could be provoked by a few words from Fuyan, then it meant that she had misjudged He Changdi.

There were so many maidservants in Songtao Court, as well as all of Duke Jing 'an's residence. How long would it take for her to guard them day and night?

"But if Fuyan tries to sow discord between you and Third Young Master …"

"Don't worry, Momo. I know what I'm doing." Chu Lian patted Gui Momo's hand.

Gui Momo didn't have a choice. Chu Lian had already given her orders, so how could she disobey?

"Momo, go back and rest early. It's getting late, and I'm going to rest as well. Wenlan can come in alone to serve me."

Chu Lian returned to the bedroom and Wenlan helped her lie down on the warm, soft king-size bed.

When Wenlan put down the bed curtains, she was still worried and asked, "Third Madam, why don't this servant send someone to keep an eye on the study?"

"There's no need. Do you really think that your Third Young Master is an idiot?

Bai Cha came to inform him, so he probably already knew. There's no need to do such useless things. Go rest first, I'll call you if there's anything. "

Wenlan was stunned. After a moment, she nodded, put down the bed curtains, and quietly left.

Chu Lian lay down on the soft bedding. The bed had a faint smell of agarwood, a fragrance that she liked. The bed was already ironed by Wenlan and the others, so it was very warm.

Lying on such a warm and soft bedding, Chu Lian was uncharacteristically not sleepy at all.

She blinked her bright eyes as she stared at the top of the bed curtains, feeling a little apprehensive in her heart.

Although she had read the original text, she hadn't finished reading it. Especially after she came to the Great Wu Dynasty, as time passed, many things had changed and were very different from what was written in the original text.

It was now February, and the things she knew would end in May.

Right now, she was filled with regret. She regretted that she didn't read more in the beginning. At the very least, she should have read the ending first.

Otherwise, she wouldn't still be at a loss at this time.

Tossing and turning and baking pancakes, Chu Lian felt less and less sleepy.

In the end, she actually became more and more energetic. The scenes of her interaction with He Changdi today kept flashing through her mind.

She appeared so calm in front of Gui Momo and the others, but in reality, only she knew what she was thinking in her heart.

She didn't know why, but she would always unconsciously guess what Fuyan would say to He Changdi in the study.

After a while, Chu Lian still didn't feel sleepy. She could only get up and open the curtains. She took out a small book from the side table and opened it.

Perhaps hearing the sounds from inside the room, Wenlan came in to take a look. Seeing that Chu Lian had actually gotten up and was leaning against the bed to read a book, she hurried over to help her cut the wick and choose a brighter one to prevent her eyes from hurting.

When Wenlan left, she secretly sighed.

Third Young Mistress was also someone who said one thing but meant another.

She usually fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow, but tonight, she was unusually sleepy. If this wasn't because she was worried about Third Young Master, then what was it?

In the study.

Fuyan was wearing a brand-new light green dress, with a rather novel hairpin in her hair bun. She was tall and slender, especially her small waist, which was slender and delicate, which was the most attractive part of her.

She carried the tea tray and lowered her face as she walked to He Changdi's desk. She secretly looked up at the tall and handsome man behind the desk. In an instant, her heart was thumping because of nervousness and excitement.

She brought the teacup in front of He Changdi. "Third Young Master, have a cup of tea to warm your stomach."

He Changdi's eyes were deep. At this time, he looked up at Fuyan in front of him.

But his eyes were cold and emotionless.

"Leave."

When Fuyan heard this pleasant but obviously emotionless male voice, her whole body couldn't help but stiffen.

She couldn't believe it for a moment. She never thought that Third Young Master would use such a cold tone to talk to her.

At least she had dressed up properly today. Didn't people say that the more you looked at a beauty under the light, the more beautiful she became? Moreover, her foundation wasn't bad, and she could be considered a slender and graceful beauty.

Every time she went out to run errands, those servants would stare at her.

But when it came to Third Young Master, how could he be indifferent!

Fuyan bit her lips in anger and clenched her fists tightly.

He Changdi saw that she was still standing there and became even more impatient.

"What are you still doing here? Get out!"

Fuyan didn't expect him to get angry. She was so scared that her whole body trembled and she directly knelt down.

However, how could she be willing to leave just like that? This was an opportunity that she had finally found after much difficulty.

Someone had specially informed her that Third Young Master and Third Young Mistress were at odds. If she didn't add fuel to the fire at this time, it would be difficult to find such a good opportunity in the future.

Before He Changdi personally kicked her out, she suddenly knelt on the ground and mournfully said, "This … This servant has something important to report to Third Young Master."

Fuyan didn't hear He Changdi's voice, so she naturally didn't see the trace of ridicule that flashed across He Changdi's handsome face.

This time, Fuyan didn't dare to delay. She quickly took out a letter from her bosom, walked two steps on her knees, and raised it in front of He Changdi with both hands.

"Third Young Master, please take a look at this letter.

You will know how loyal this servant is. "

He Changdi didn't refuse. He took the letter from Fuyan's hands. The handwriting on the letter was very familiar. It was Xiao Wujing's.

But he didn't open it. He stared at the maidservant beside him, his thin lips slightly pursed, but he didn't say anything.

Fuyan didn't hear the sound of the letter being opened and panicked for a moment. She gathered her courage and looked up at He Changdi.

She took a deep breath and said loudly, "Third Young Master, this is a letter from Young Master Xiao to Third Young Mistress!

Third … Third Young Mistress is unfaithful to you! "

Fuyan gritted her teeth as she said this. Then she looked up and stared at He Changdi's expression.

Anger, shock, regret … these negative emotions were all absent …

He Sanlang's expression didn't change at all. It was still that cool and handsome face. These pieces of evidence that could immediately cause a storm in the eyes of bystanders didn't even make a splash in his hands.

Fuyan's eyes opened wider and wider, her eyes almost popping out of their sockets, filled with terror.

"Third … Third Young Master, don't you care about Third Young Mistress's innocence?

She … She has an affair with Young Master Xiao. She's unfaithful! "

He Changdi suddenly leaned over to Fuyan. His slender fingers fiercely pinched Fuyan's slightly pointed chin.

Fuyan felt a sharp pain in her chin. She couldn't help but cry out. Then she heard He Changdi's cold and bone-piercing voice. "Even if it's like this, what does this have to do with you?"
