Last night, he left reluctantly until late at night, and this morning, he sent someone to deliver these lively parrots early, fearing that Su Wanyu was depressed because of that incident.

“Can these parrots really talk?”

Su Wanyu was amused by the sudden appearance of these little lives. She gently teased the little birds, with curiosity flashing in her eyes.

Two parrots wearing red crowns in the cage held their heads high and chirped shrilly, their voices clear and full of fun: "Your Highness is in good health, Your Highness is in good health, Your Highness is in good health."

The parrot's imitation sound caused laughter among the people in the yard, and the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed and cheerful.

"Oh, this parrot is really good at chatting." Yun Yi exclaimed with a smile, not hiding the joy on his face.

Su Wanyu took the rice from Yun Yi's hand and carefully fed it to the parrot in the cage. A gleam of light flashed across her eyes: "The prince sent these parrots at the perfect time."

"Siqi." She called out to her other maid softly, with a deep look in her eyes, and asked, "How is Pei's injury?"

Upon hearing this, Siqi stepped forward and answered with a hint of indifference in her tone: "I heard that she was in a coma for three days and three nights, and only woke up this morning."

Su Wanyu wiped her hands gently with a handkerchief, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Although her fall seems to be not light, it is not too serious."

Siqi's eyes revealed deep disdain and contempt for the Feng family: "She was just acting in front of Master Pei, trying to gain sympathy."

She paused and continued, "Your Highness, everything is developing as you expected. Pei Qingzhi is now full of resentment towards the Pei family."

Su Wanyu nodded slightly, with a glimmer of satisfaction in her eyes. "Very good, you will arrange for someone to send two parrots to Pei later. Tell them that I learned that she was seriously injured in bed, so I specially sent some parrots to relieve her boredom. At the same time, let them learn a few 'interesting' words."

Upon hearing this, Siqi slyly glanced at the group of parrots, immediately understood her master's intention, and replied respectfully: "As you command, Your Highness."

After hearing this, Yun Yi's face flashed with regret: "This parrot just arrived, are you going to give it away now?"

Si Qi smiled, confident: "Don't worry, the Pei family will return them in a few days, and they will bring some unexpected 'gifts'."

Although Yun Yi felt a little disappointed, she knew her prince's methods very well and finally nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, Siqi deftly took down the bird cage hanging on the tree branch and carefully carried the two parrots out of the courtyard. She had already begun to think about how to let the two parrots learn a "special" language to fulfill her master's wish.

Behind all these "nice words" lies an ingenious and slightly ironic layout.

As Siqi left, a silent psychological warfare quietly began. Far away in Pei Mansion, Yuan was lying on the bed, gently stroking her still swollen forehead with her fingers, anxiously asking the maid about the master's reply: "What did the master say? Did he agree to take the young lady home?"

Her tone revealed an urgency and worry that was difficult to conceal.

The maid shook her head slightly, her eyes revealing a hint of helplessness, and said softly: "The master specifically instructed that Madam should take care of her body first, and then discuss Miss Qingzhi's return home after her injuries are healed."

Her voice was soft, but it could not conceal the determination it conveyed.

When Yuan heard this, her heart suddenly sank, as if she was crushed by a heavy rock and couldn't breathe.

She covered her forehead with her hands and groaned in pain: "He...he must see me die before he agrees to let Qingzhi return to this cold home!"

As he spoke, tears flashed in his eyes, revealing deep despair and unwillingness.

Seeing this, the maid quickly knelt on the ground, gently placed her hands on Yuan's knees, and tried to soothe her broken heart with a weak comfort: "Madam, please don't be too anxious. When the master saw you injured that day, the anxiety and heartache in his eyes could not be deceived. In fact, he still has you in his heart."

"Pretend to be me?"

Yuan suddenly raised her head, anger and disbelief burning in her eyes, "If he really had me in his heart, why would he not even spare his own brothers and sisters and do such dirty things!"

Losing control of her emotions for a moment, Yuan almost spilled all the secrets that had been buried in the mansion for many years.

The maid was horrified when she saw this. She raised her head hastily, her eyes filled with panic. She used all her strength to lower her voice and said almost pleadingly: "Madam, please don't do this! This concerns the reputation of the entire mansion..."

Yuan was brought back to her senses by this reminder. Her eyes flickered a few times. She suppressed her anger and unwillingness, clenched the corner of the quilt in her hand, and her fingertips turned white due to the force: "If it weren't for Chi An, I would have made these dirty secrets public and let the world judge."

The maid came close to Yuan's side, carefully pulled out a soft handkerchief, gently wiped the sweat from her excitement, and continued to persuade her in a calm tone: "Madam, I understand your difficulties, but what the master said is not without reason. After all..."

Before he finished speaking, Yuan's eyes turned cold, his whole body tensed up, he sat up straight, and sternly interrupted in an unquestionable tone: "Who are you? How dare you make comments here! Back off!"

The majesty in his tone made it impossible to disobey.

The maid was so frightened that she quickly stepped back, lowered her head, twisted the corners of her clothes with her hands, and apologized in a low voice: "It was my fault, Madam, please forgive me."

Yuan's chest heaved violently with anger, her teeth chattered, and she waved her hand to signal the maid to leave quickly.

Not long after the maid left, a parrot given by Su Wanyu was brought into the room.

Although Yuan knew the intention behind the parrot, she knew that she could not go against the princess's kindness, so she could only force a smile, try her best to be respectful, and accept the parrot.

Since it was made by the princess, it naturally cannot be neglected in the slightest and must be taken care of with great care to show respect.

Before leaving, Siqi specifically instructed: "Madam, His Highness specifically stated that this parrot is best placed indoors, and it will be of great benefit to your recovery."

"Thank you for your concern, Princess."

Although Yuan was dissatisfied in her heart, she still agreed respectfully on the surface, and then ordered people to hang the parrot under the eaves outside the bedroom door so that this "gift" would not affect her life.

As soon as Siqi left, the smile on Yuan's face instantly disappeared, replaced by an indifferent expression, muttering curses: "What a fox taking advantage of the tiger's power, a daughter of a merchant, really thinks she is a princess of the royal family."

"I wonder how long she can be so proud. Once the regent loses interest, she will face the same fate as me, and be banished to the cold palace!"

Her voice rose unconsciously, with a hint of gloating.

The parrot outside the door seemed to have caught her words and imitated them vividly: "A merchant's daughter really thinks she is a princess!"

The voice was sharp and full of teasing, causing Yuan's face to turn pale suddenly. She raised her head abruptly and looked at the parrot that was mimicking her words in disbelief.
