Liao Hui looked at Ruo'er's resolute look and felt a little scared.

If it weren't for Qianqian's reminder today, she would probably have really eliminated her doubts about Ruoer and started to trust her again.

This maid is so good at disguise.

She suppressed her thoughts and patted Ruoer's hand.

"I've always known that you're loyal, but you don't have to answer me so quickly. After all, this is a matter that concerns your whole life. Go back and think about it carefully."

As Liao Hui spoke, she walked out of the gate of the Hundred Households Mansion and got into the carriage.

When we returned to Liao's house, the moon was already above the willow trees.

Liao Hui was punished and could not eat tonight, so when she asked Ruoer to bring her a plate of glutinous rice cakes, she waved her hand to refuse.

"My sister punished me by not allowing me to eat tonight. What are you doing bringing these up?"

Ruo'er quickly persuaded her, "I have dismissed the attendants, so no one will know that you have eaten. If you really don't eat something, I am afraid that you will starve to death."

Ruoer spared no effort to persuade.

But Liao Hui was determined.

"Being punished is being punished. Even if no one knows, I can't get over it in my heart."

"I know you're doing this for my own good, but I won't starve to death if I don't eat for one night anyway, so just take it away."

Ruo'er tried to persuade her a few more times, but seeing that she couldn't persuade him anymore, she had to give up.

She was also thinking that she could trick the third young lady into eating something, and then she would go and complain. This way, she could get a reward from the eldest young lady.

Unfortunately, the Third Miss is a stubborn person, so this trick doesn't work.

"Then this servant will withdraw immediately."

"Wait a minute."

Ruoer's eyes lit up.

"Girl, do you want to eat?"

"I told you, I don't want to eat. Go and call everyone in the yard over here. I have something to say to everyone."

"What do you want to say?"

"Just go and call."

Liao Hui was already feeling a little annoyed.

Before she knew the truth, she just thought that this girl was careful and would get to the bottom of everything.

Looking at Ruo'er now, this kind of carefulness has become a kind of surveillance.

Keep a close eye on her and report every detail to Liao Fan.

She had wondered before why she was caught when she secretly ate a little last month when her lady punished her by not allowing her to eat for two days.

It turned out that there was a pair of eyes staring at her.

These eyes are the ones she grew up with.

Thinking about it carefully, it was a good thing that Ruoer only betrayed her in recent months.

If she had such a pair of eyes since childhood, it would be absolutely impossible for her to live to this day.

Liao Hui shuddered at the thought of that possibility.

Soon, all the servants in the yard were called together.

Six people in total.

There were two servants, a small kitchen worker, Ruo'er, and two maids.

Apart from Ruo'er, the other two girls had also followed her since childhood, but they were not as close to her as Ruo'er.

Liao Hui walked to the door of the room, stood on the steps and looked at the six people below.

She spoke amid everyone's puzzled looks.

"I went to the Qu Mansion today, you should all know about it."

"Mrs. Qu told me that she wants to move up the wedding date so that I can marry early and bring good luck to Brother Ting. So, she will come to the mansion soon to discuss moving up the wedding date with Dad."

"I have discussed with Madam Qu that I will bring two people to marry. So I summoned you here to ask if anyone is willing to go to the Wen Mansion with me?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at each other in surprise.

Ruo'er also widened her eyes in shock.

The third young lady is going to marry ahead of time!

Just then, a maid stepped forward and bowed.

"This servant is willing to follow the young lady."

When Liao Hui saw Lin'er standing up, a look of surprise flashed across her eyes.

Among the three maids, Lin'er spoke the least and was the least close to her.

But she was actually willing to follow me into the "fire pit" of the Wen family?

"Lin'er, are you sure?" Liao Hui couldn't help but confirm.

Lin Er nodded: "I am sure."

Liao Hui caught a glimpse of Ruo'er's disdainful look out of the corner of her eye.

Just from this one look, Liao Hui roughly concluded that Ruo'er didn't like Lin'er.

If she doesn't like it, it means that Lin'er is not in the same group with her.

Now she felt relieved.

"Okay, I got it. Anyone else?"

Ruo'er gritted her teeth, very reluctant in her heart, but still stepped forward: "I am willing too."

"Okay, then the two of you can follow me and marry into the Wen Mansion."

Liao Hui waved her hand, saying that she wanted to rest, and asked everyone to leave.

When the candlelight went out, she heard Ruoer's footsteps slowly fading away at the door.

She suddenly opened her closed eyes, and she already had a guess in her mind about where Ruoer had gone.

But she quickly closed her eyes again.

……

At the same time, Ruo'er avoided the people in the yard and quickly came to Liao Fan's Fanyinyuan.

When the maids saw her coming, they didn't say much and directly led her to see Miss Liao.

Liao Fan had just finished washing up and was about to rest when he heard Ruo'er coming and couldn't help but raise his eyelids slightly.

The maid next to her laughed and said, "Why is she here at this time? Could it be that the Third Miss secretly had dinner?"

Liao Fan chuckled.

"I'm in a good mood today and didn't want to cause trouble to that little bitch, but it's not my fault that she's looking for death. Let someone in!"

"Yes!"

Soon Ruo'er came in and was about to bow when she heard Liao Fan say, "No need to bow. Tell me, what happened?"

When Ruo'er heard this, she knew that Liao Fan was in a good mood, and she felt slightly relieved.

Since the young lady is in a good mood, should she agree to her request?

Ruo'er carefully considered her words and said, "Miss, I just received news that Madam Qu from the Hundred Households Mansion plans to advance the wedding date of Miss Three and Master Wen."

"what?!"

Liao Fan's sleepiness disappeared instantly.

"Is this serious?"

"How dare I lie in front of you? This is what the Third Miss said herself, saying that Qu wanted her to marry in advance to bring good luck. And, just one stick of incense ago, she gathered everyone in the courtyard and said that when she got married, she would bring two people with her, and asked who among us would be willing to go with her."

Liao Fan narrowed his eyes.

I only heard the maid next to me say: "Since they have already started planning this, I think it can't be fake."

Ruoer suddenly knelt down at this moment.

"My lady, please save me for all I have done for you in the past!"

"I don't want to follow Miss Third into that fire pit! Please let me stay and serve you!"

"Even if I can't serve you, at least let me stay and do some rough work."

"If I follow the Third Miss, my life will be ruined!"

Liao Fan was not in a hurry to answer, but just asked: "What was her reaction after she knew that the wedding date might be moved up?"

Ruo'er dared not not answer, and told Liao Fan everything about Liao Hui's reaction.

Liao Fan showed a disdainful smile on his face.

"I knew she really regretted it, but she didn't show it because of her face and reputation."

"Yes." Ruo'er nodded repeatedly: "She was in a very bad mood today, but she said she had no other choice."
