Zhihua naturally knew how unreasonable this statement was, but this was the statement she heard the most. She was so angry that she felt like vomiting blood.

"puff!"

Zhihua did not vomit blood, but Nian Susu was really angry and vomited blood.

She fell sideways on the bed, holding onto the edge, looking at the splattered blood on the ground. Her eyes went dark and she fainted completely.

Zhihua's last shout still echoed in my ears: "Miss!"

……

In a daze, Nian Susu heard the voices of several people.

"You little girl, what did you say to Ling Ling? How did you make her vomit blood? She just came back from outside and you're harming her like this! I think you don't want to stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion! I'll sell you out tomorrow!"

"Madam, please spare me! Madam, please spare me! I know I was wrong! I will never talk nonsense again! Please give me a chance to make amends!"

"Alright, stop scolding Zhihua. Now that things have come to this, let's wait until Lingling wakes up before we talk about it. If you make such a fuss, won't Lingling be able to sleep well?"

The talking stopped, leaving only the rustling sound of footsteps.

Nian Susu had a splitting headache. He frowned, opened his eyes, and looked around.

Zhihua was kneeling in front of her bed, crying but not daring to make a sound.

"Zhihua..." She raised her hand, then dropped it weakly back onto the quilt.

Hearing the sound, Zhiwen rushed forward and cried with joy, "Miss! You are finally awake! I was scared to death yesterday... "

yesterday?

She slept for a day and a night?

Nian Susu pinched his eyebrows to clear his confused mind.

Zhihua leaned over the bed, holding her hand tightly, and cried again, "The master and the mistress were very worried. They came three or four times a day, and they just left now."

She propped herself up on the bed and tried to leave. "I'll go call them back now."

"Don't." Nian Susu held her back.

Zhihua turned around with confusion in her eyes.

Nian Susu shook his head and said, "Don't tell them yet. I need to go out for a while."

If Nian Chengyun and Yang Yuerong knew that she was awake, she wouldn't even be able to leave the East Wing, let alone the mansion gate.

Zhihua's facial features twisted, and she knelt down, about to cry, "Miss, if anything happens to you again, Madam will beat me to death!"

She could still vividly remember what the lady had said just now, that she was going to sell her out. This also reminded her that she could no longer act recklessly as a young lady.

If she hadn't spread those rumors to the young lady, she wouldn't have vomited blood and fainted. In the final analysis, it was her fault.

Nian Susu threw off the quilt and got out of bed, putting on her clothes despite Zhihua's attempts to stop her.

"I know my own body very well, don't worry." She patted Zhihua's shoulder, "If Dad and Mom come over, please stop them for me. I'll be back soon."

Zhi Hua shook her head like a rattle, "No... Miss, you can't..."

Nian Susu has already run away.

Li House.

The guard at the door stopped Nian Susu and said, "Young lady, you cannot go in."

Nian Susu panted and explained to him, "I'm looking for Miss Li. Please pass the message on."

The guard looked indifferent, "Sorry young lady, our young lady is ill and won't see any visitors."

"Are you sick?" Nian Susu frowned. He was fine when he came back, so why is he sick now?

She doesn't believe it.

But the guard showed no mercy and stood there with his head held high like a statue.

She had no choice but to soften her tone, "Brother, please do me a favor and tell your young lady that I am from the Nian Mansion. She will definitely come to see me."

After that, Nian Susu stuffed a silver ingot into his hand with a bright smile.

Hearing the word "Nian Mansion", the guard's brows relaxed. Then, holding a silver ingot in his hand, which felt really heavy, he became excited.

"Who is it?" A deep voice came from behind.

The guard was shocked and quickly returned the silver to Nian Susu before the man came over.

He whispered, "I'm sorry girl, I really can't let you in."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man had already walked behind the guard.

Li Zhiyi glared at the guard with dissatisfaction, then glanced at Nian Susu, and his expression eased a lot.

"So it's Miss Nian." He smiled politely.

Nian Susu found this smile creepy. She awkwardly clenched the silver in her hand, which was hidden by her wide sleeves and Li Zhiyi did not see.

Despite this, she still felt guilty and did not dare to look at Li Zhiyi.

"Lord Li, I heard that Zhizhi is sick?" She forced a smile, which looked forced and stiff.

After all, Li Zhiyi was an elder of the same age as her father. Now that he was staring at her with such a sharp gaze, she felt uncomfortable and lowered her head.

"Yes, Yao Yuan is ill. If Miss Nian wants to go out for fun with her, please come back another day."

Li Zhiyi walked down the stairs and brushed past her, "I have something to go out, so I won't keep you for tea, Miss Nian."

After going down two steps, he suddenly remembered something and turned back to say, "By the way, Miss Nian, please say hello to Prime Minister Nian for me." He smiled kindly, and was completely different from the person just now.

Nian Susu had no choice but to nod in agreement.

After Li Zhiyi left, no matter how Nian Susu persuaded or begged, or how much silver he gave, the guards refused to say a word to her.

She had no choice but to leave Li's house and go to the street, thinking about finding another time to meet Li Yaoyuan.

On the way back home, she met Xiao Yunzheng on the street. Looking up, she saw that she had just come out of Taihe Restaurant. She looked absent-minded and didn't even notice that Nian Susu was standing in front of her.

Nian Susu stood in front of her, not moving, letting her bump into him.

"Ouch!" Xiao Yunzheng took two steps back in pain, holding her forehead and about to curse: "Who is so blind! How dare you bump into..."

"Lingling!" She was surprised and happy, and the gloom on her face was swept away. "Why are you here?"

Nian Susu crossed his arms across his chest and stared at her arrogantly, "Ms. Xiao, you are so arrogant. It was obviously you who bumped into me without looking where you were going. I'm not angry, but you're the one who bites me back and gets angry?"

Xiao Yunzheng laughed twice, "Blame me, blame me. It's my fault. I was too engrossed in thinking just now."

Nian Susu didn't argue with her and told her what happened in Li's house.

Xiao Yunzheng looked solemn after hearing this. After analyzing the situation, the two of them came to the conclusion that Lord Li had imprisoned Li Yaoyuan at home.

Li Zhiyi was very concerned about his reputation. On the day Li Yaoyuan came back from Ganlin Temple, the Li Mansion closed the main door and left a small side door for her to leave. This was enough to show Li Zhiyi's attitude.

Now, after two or three days, Li Yaoyuan fell ill out of nowhere, and no one was allowed to visit her. Who would believe that it was a coincidence?

Anyway, Nian Susu and Xiao Yunzheng didn't believe it.

"So what are you doing in Taihe Teahouse?" Nian Susu glanced inside. The seats were still full and the guests were cheering loudly. I wonder which new rising star they were cheering for.

Xiao Yunzheng looked distraught and didn't seem like someone who came to watch an opera.

After hearing this, Xiao Yunzheng's eyes became gloomy. She was no longer the high-spirited young lady from the general's mansion. A trace of loneliness and helplessness could be seen on her face.
