Qin Junyu said indifferently: "Second Miss Nian."

Nian Susu stood up quickly, his eyes widened in disbelief, his voice changed with excitement: "Nian Qiaoyue? How could it be her?"

This made her even more confused. When had Li Yaoyuan ever offended Nian Qiaoyue? They clearly had no connection.

She had forgotten one thing, and it was only when Qin Junyu reminded her that she remembered that when they were in Ganlin Temple, Li Yaoyuan and Nian Qiaoyue lived in the same meditation room. Perhaps some conflict had occurred between them during that half month.

Li Yaoyuan is not Xiao Yunzheng. If someone makes her angry, she will scold the other person and everyone will know it. When Li Yaoyuan suffers grievances, she will keep it in her heart and digest it alone.

Nian Susu took a deep breath and sat down.

She cursed: "I'm so mad!"

She believed Qin Junyu's words without a doubt. She didn't even need to ask him how he found out all this. In short, his ability was terrifyingly amazing.

But everyone is spreading this groundless rumor, so can we really pull out their tongues? This would only prove that they are guilty of being thieves.

She couldn't do anything to Nian Qiaoyue at all. Even if she wanted to clear up the matter for Li Yaoyuan, she was powerless.

Nian Susu felt regretful and annoyed, and sighed heavily.

Qin Junyu comforted her and reminded her to take care of her health and not to overwork. They talked for half an hour and then he left.

Nian Susu made up her mind that she must meet Li Yaoyuan!

……

In front of the Li residence, two guards were blocking the door with swords drawn. They looked intimidating but their expressions were helpless.

The man on the left sighed, and his patience was exhausted before he even started talking. He said impatiently, "Miss Nian, why are you here again? You've come five or six times in just ten days. Our young lady is still ill, so it's really not appropriate for her to see guests. Please go back."

He knew the lines by heart.

The one on the right was a little more polite. He smiled bitterly and said, "Miss Nian, our master has specifically instructed that the young lady is not in good health and that no one should disturb her rest. Please be kind and don't make things difficult for us servants."

The two men were very helpless. They couldn't offend the eldest daughter of the Nian family, and they couldn't just drive her away. Every time she came, they could only persuade her with kind words.

In front of them, there was a guard who was guarding the gate. Because the master caught him talking to Miss Nian for a few more words, and his words seemed to imply letting her in, he was beaten with twenty boards and kicked out of the mansion the next day.

With this previous experience as a lesson, they would never give in no matter what you say.

Nian Susu snorted coldly and said arrogantly: "I am not here to see Miss Li today, I want to see Master Li."

The two guards were stunned and looked surprised.

She curled her lips and said, "Please pass the message on."

The two exchanged glances, and the one on the right clasped his fists and bowed, "Miss Nian, please wait a moment." Then he ran into the mansion.

Nian Susu couldn't help but sigh in her heart: Her father's name is still very useful! If she had known this earlier, she would have asked Nian Chengyun to write a letter to ask about her well-being a few days ago and then personally delivered it. Wouldn't it be easy to enter the Li Mansion?

After a while, the guard who reported came back and respectfully made a "please" gesture.

Nian Susu snorted and walked in, as proud as if he had won some competition.

She had been fighting bravely with the two men at the door for more than ten days, and now she finally got what she wanted, so of course she had to hold her head high.

Although she came in, two maids followed her in the name of leading the way. She could not go directly to Li Yaoyuan, so she went to see Li Zhiyi first.

In the court, Li Zhiyi can be regarded as half neutral and half princeling, the kind who does not recognize either side. He has always wanted to win over Nian Chengyun, but Nian Chengyun is a conservative man and is second only to the emperor. He simply disdains to form cliques for personal gain.

So this time, Nian Susu came here under the pretext of delivering a letter to Nian Cheng. Even though Li Zhiyi knew that her motives were not pure, he had to welcome her in respectfully, otherwise he would offend the Nian family.

Nian Susu delivered the letter, and Li Zhiyi took the opportunity to find out what Nian Chengyun meant, but the letter was just a tool to help her enter the Li Mansion. She begged Nian Chengyun to write it, and there was no point in it. When Li Zhiyi asked, she could only answer vaguely.

The two of them practiced Tai Chi for dozens of rounds, but Li Zhiyi couldn't get what he wanted. Nian Susu was thinking about how to reasonably propose to visit Li Yaoyuan without being rejected by Li Zhiyi.

In the end, Nian Chengyun moved out.

"My father also asked me why I hadn't been in contact with Miss Li in the past few days, and whether there was any rift between the two of us. He thought that I had angered Miss Li and immediately wanted to bring me to apologize to Lord Li in person." Nian Susu smiled with an ambiguous meaning.

Li Zhiyi was a smart man, so how could he not understand the meaning behind her words? He could only smile and say, "When Yaoyuan gets better, I will ask her to come to our house to check her age, so as to avoid any misunderstanding between the two families."

Her smile deepened. "That's true, but Lord Li, don't worry. I've already explained to my father that Miss Li hasn't been feeling well in recent days. He also asked me to deliver the letter today and to visit Miss Li on the way."

A hint of coldness flashed across Li Zhiyi's eyes, but he quickly returned to his kind and amiable appearance.

Although she pushed him step by step to go to the film, Li Zhiyi finally agreed to let her go to see Li Yaoyuan, with the only requirement that she could not stay too long.

Nian Susu didn't want to waste even a second, so she took her leave immediately and asked the maid from the Li Mansion to take her to see Li Yaoyuan.

Li Yaoyuan's courtyard was not far from the front hall, just across a small garden.

The maid stopped in front of the courtyard gate, nodded and lowered her eyebrows and said, "Miss Nian, the young lady's residence is here. I will take my leave first."

Nian Susu nodded, watched the maid leave, and hurried into the yard.

When I walked to the door, it was quiet inside, without any movement.

She put her ear close to listen, afraid to disturb Li Yaoyuan's rest. After all the effort, she finally got to meet him, but she didn't dare to open the door.

"Cough cough cough..."

There was a weak cough coming from inside, it really sounded like someone was sick?

She knocked on the door, and after a while the person inside said, "Come in."

Nian Susu pushed the door open and walked in. She had been to Li Yaoyuan's room before, so she knew which direction to go as soon as she entered the room. After walking around the screen, she found the bed.

Li Yaoyuan was wearing a plain white inner dress, half leaning on the head of the bed. She did not tie her hair up, and her waist-length black hair was scattered. Two strands hung in front of her chest, and the rest was spread on the pink and white quilt. She was holding a book in her hand.

She raised her eyes to look at the person who came, her pupils trembled, she could hardly believe it, tears filled her eyes in an instant, the book in her hand slipped out, and she was about to lift the quilt to greet her.

Nian Susu hurriedly took three or two steps forward, sat on the edge of the bed, held her hand, and covered her with the half-lifted quilt and tucked it in.

When she looked up again, the tears in Li Yaoyuan's eyes had already flowed into two lines.
