From then on, Luo Yuanxiang became Nian Susu's personal maid, staying by her side every step of the way, obeying her in everything, and serving her more attentively than Zhihua.

At first, Nian Susu could still accept it, but later she gradually realized that something was wrong.

Luo Yuanxiang would go through her personal belongings under the pretext of helping her clean the house. Although she did not bring any valuables to Jiangnan, some of them had official seals of the Prime Minister's Mansion, especially some palace products, which would have numbers and seals. If Luo Yuanxiang saw them, she would definitely guess her identity.

Nian Susu mentioned this to Qin Junyu once, but Qin Junyu said, "If she had met with Prince Ren and reached some kind of cooperation, Prince Ren should have told her our identities long ago."

"You can hide it for a while, but you can't hide it forever. She has been following us, and sooner or later she will find out something is wrong. Just let it go."

"But for going through your things without permission, he deserves a reprimand."

Nian Susu thought it made sense, so he deliberately told Luo Yuanxiang that his things kept changing places, asking her to be careful in case it was a thief.

Since then, she indeed never found Luo Yuanxiang rummaging through her things again. She didn't know whether she was afraid or had become more cautious.

These are all secondary, and Nian Susu didn't take them to heart. What made her feel uncomfortable was that Luo Yuanxiang always used her name to get close to Qin Junyu.

Luo Yuanxiang brought soup to Qin Junyu, but he didn't want it, so she said it was Miss Nian's order.

Luo Yuanxiang wanted to help Qin Junyu grind ink and practice calligraphy, but he refused, so she said it was Miss Nian's order.

Luo Yuanxiang ran to Qin Junyu's door in the middle of the night to deliver a hot water bottle. He didn't want it, so she said it was Miss Nian who ordered it.

At first, Nian Susu didn't know about this. It was only when Qin Junyu found it strange and asked her about it that she realized that Luo Yuanxiang had done so many things behind her back.

Nian Susu didn't care about wanting to seduce Qin Junyu, because if she succeeded it would be her own ability, but using her name to seduce her husband was more disgusting than eating shit.

Since then, Qin Junyu's door has never been opened for Luo Yuanxiang again.

Whenever something strange happened, Nian Susu and Qin Junyu would first check each other's statements and would immediately find out that the problem lay with Luo Yuanxiang.

Luo Yuanxiang's little tricks didn't work, and after a while, she gradually calmed down.

That day, Nian Susu left Luo Yuanxiang and went out alone to Yulinju to find Li Yaoyuan, but unexpectedly he ran into Xiao Jianting.

Xiao Jianting and Li Yaoyuan were talking in the small garden. She was unaware of it and walked in with a smile. The moment they turned their heads to look at her, it seemed as if the world had stopped.

Li Yaoyuan was the first to react. She winked at her, as if trying to hint at something. However, Nian Susu was so panicked that her brain went blank and she had no idea what she meant.

Nian Susu's mind started working rapidly, her enthusiastic smile slowly subsided, and she put on a proper and ladylike demeanor.

She walked slowly forward, and when she came in front of the two people, she smiled at Li Yaoyuan first: "I didn't know Miss Yu was seeing guests. I'm sorry to bother you by coming here without permission."

Li Yaoyuan immediately understood and said in agreement, "Miss Nian, that's not right. We are all guests here, so why bother me? Besides, I don't have many friends here, and Miss Nian is the first person I feel I can talk to. I'm so happy that you can come to see me."

Nian Susu blinked at Xiao Jianting, "Mr. Xiao, long time no see."

Li Yaoyuan was surprised, her eyes flickering between the two of them: "You...you know each other?"

Nian Susu silently praised Li Yaoyuan: You react very quickly.

Xiao Jianting had a strange expression on his face. It was hard to tell whether he was shocked or disappointed. He replied calmly, "Well, Miss Nian and I are friends. We met several times in Shengjing."

Nian Susu raised his eyebrows and saw a few baskets of charcoal at Xiao Jianting's feet, so he knew what he was here for.

She came here today planning to chat with Li Yaoyuan, but now it seems that is not possible.

If I stayed for too long, it would arouse Xiao Jianting's suspicion, so I could only find a reasonable excuse for coming here and then leave.

"Miss Yu, can I pick up the flowers I ordered yesterday now?"

Li Yaoyuan was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted, "Miss Nian, wait a moment, I'll get it for you."

"Master Xiao." Li Yaoyuan glanced at Xiao Jianting and said, "I don't need these charcoals. You can take them back. Don't send me anything in the future."

After saying this, without giving Xiao Jianting a chance to answer, she turned and walked towards the greenhouse.

Xiao Jianting was stunned, staring blankly at the two baskets of charcoal at his feet.

The winter wind whistled past, coming and going in a hurry, shaking the small flower buds in the ground twice.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

Xiao Jianting nodded and smiled at Nian Susu, then left.

He kept the two baskets of charcoal.

Nian Susu had no right to accept or reject anything for Li Yaoyuan and could only watch his back disappear behind the Moon Cave Gate.

After a while, Li Yaoyuan came back with a bouquet of flowers in her arms. She smiled less distantly and handed the flowers to Nian Susu, "Do you like this?"

Nian Susu took it, sniffed the fragrance of the flowers, and was very satisfied, "I like it!"

"I didn't expect that after not seeing you for half a year, your flower arranging skills have improved."

Li Yaoyuan smiled, looked around, and finally his eyes fell on the two baskets of charcoal. He said in a flat tone: "He's gone?"

"Ah."

"Really? Why don't you take the charcoal back?" Li Yaoyuan muttered with disgust.

Nian Susu said goodbye to her and left Yulinju with the flowers in her arms. Unexpectedly, Xiao Jianting was waiting for her at the door.

Nian Susu was stunned for a second, and his good mood disappeared in an instant.

Xiao Jianting was waiting for her, he must be asking her about Li Yaoyuan. For now, she could only continue to act out this scene.

"Mr. Xiao, why haven't you gone back yet?" She walked forward happily holding the flowers, and the happy smile on her face didn't seem fake.

Xiao Jianting did not answer, but offered to give her a ride.

Nian Susu did not refuse. Her carriage was parked at the city gate, and it took a quarter of an hour to walk from Yulinju.

Originally, she chose to walk here from the city gate in order to conceal her whereabouts, but she did not expect that this would become a reason for Xiao Jianting to question her.

"Why did Miss Nian have to stop the carriage at the city gate and walk here from the city gate?" His tone was quite normal and one could not hear his emotions.

Nian Su Su was silent.

Just when Xiao Jianting thought she was guilty and about to reveal herself, she suddenly turned cold and asked him in an aggressive tone: "Did you treat Miss Yu as her substitute?"

They all knew who this "she" was referring to.

Now it was Xiao Jianting's turn to be silent. His eyebrows twitched and he felt guilty as if he had been exposed but didn't want to admit it.

However, he did not deny that what he least wanted to face was that Nian Susu really regarded "her" as Yu Yue, not Li Yaoyuan.

Xiao Jianting smiled bitterly, "You also think she is not Miss Li?"
