Then she stood at the window, hidden in the night.

Meilin Courtyard.

She stayed there for three years.

I already knew there was a broken spot in the fence that was big enough to accommodate her.

Moreover, in the past three years, the dressing table in Yan Shuyao's room has always been located in front of the window and has never changed.

She looked at the brocade box that was placed smoothly on the dressing table, and for the first time she felt that every day she had spent in Meilin Courtyard in the past three years was a part of cause and effect.

If it weren't for those three years, she probably wouldn't be so familiar with Merlin Courtyard.

If he wasn't so familiar with her, he probably wouldn't have been able to "give" the hairpin to Yan Shuyao so smoothly.

If the golden hairpin was not given to Yan Shuyao, but appeared on her mother’s head.

So……

Yan Yunshu felt a pain in her heart.

He looked at the movements in the room with cold and sharp eyes.

Yan Shuyao, who had changed into a crescent-shaped white dress, was seen sitting beside the dressing table.

At first glance, I saw the brocade box.

Under Yan Yunshu's expectant eyes, she opened the brocade box.

I saw the unusually dazzling gold hairpin inside.

He quickly took it out, his eyes full of surprise.

"Is this from my mother?"

The maidservant beside her was puzzled. "Miss, I don't know when this golden hairpin appeared here. The master and the concubine didn't send anyone to deliver anything today."

Yan Yunshu suddenly became nervous.

I was afraid that Yan Shuyao would become suspicious.

However, Yan Shuyao didn't care at all about what the maid said about the strange origin of the gold hairpin. Instead, she glared at the maid, slammed the table, stood up, pointed at the maid and started scolding her.

"My mother is also my father's wife, why does she have to be called aunt by you?"

Yan Yunshu breathed a sigh of relief.

The maid knelt down, "But young lady, if the lady hears..."

"Why are you afraid of her? No matter how powerful she is, she is just a short-lived ghost!" Yan Shuyao snorted coldly.

She was someone who could predict the future, so how could she not know that Wen would not survive this year?

"Miss, Miss, be careful with your words." The maid was terrified. She couldn't believe that the girl in her own courtyard would say such words.

"You, who can't understand the meaning of equality for all and are willing to give up your dignity! What qualifications do you have to lecture me?! Slap!"

The maids who were washing and dressing nearby had no choice but to start punishing her by slapping her in the face.

Followed by one crisp slap after another.

Yan Shuyao solemnly pinned the golden hairpin on her carefully designed bun.

A satisfied smile appeared on Yan Yunshu's lips.

Left Merlin Courtyard.

But he didn't go far. He deliberately waited for her by the lake where Yan Shuyao fell into the water on the way from Meilin Courtyard to the banquet.

There is still one stick of incense left before the time when my mother was killed.

She needed Yan Shuyao to appear at the right time.

The next blow caught Yan Feng off guard.

Don't give him a minute to cancel the assassination plan!

The autumn night is slightly cool, and the moonlight pours down like water.

Yan Yunshu stood by the lake, looking at the brightly lit banquet hall across the lake.

I calculated the time bit by bit in my mind.

All I could hear was the sound of footsteps.

"The golden hairpin on the girl's head is really beautiful."

"That's right. It must have been carefully selected by my parents for Yao'er. Haha, I wonder if my sister has any..."

He suddenly stopped talking midway through.

"Come on."

Yan Yunshu sneered and turned to look at Yan Shuyao who was deliberately avoiding her.

"Sister."

Yan Shuyao stopped and a chill rose from the soles of her feet.

She could only turn around and salute Yan Yunshu.

"I met my sister."

Yan Yunshu walked around Yan Shuyao and said with a smile, "Why don't you blame me for calling you my 'cousin'?"

Yan Shuyao clenched her hands tightly, her teeth chattering as she thought about what Yan Yunshu said that day.

"Don't dare."

"My concubine sister has finally understood her lowly status. I am deeply relieved."

After saying this, Yan Yunshu glanced at the eye-catching golden hairpin in Yan Shuyao's bun, then stood beside Yan Shuyao and looked at the lake again. "Tell me, how deep is this lake?"

Yan Shuyao stood behind Yan Yunshu, with hatred that was difficult to suppress in her eyes.

There was a raging fire of anger in my heart.

"Sister, be careful not to slip."

She stretched out her hand, pretending to support Yan Yunshu, but in fact she was secretly trying to push her down.

Yes, at that moment, she had made up her mind that since she couldn't beat Yan Yunshu, she would become Yan Yunshu.

Now, as long as she dies, as long as she sinks into the lake, it will be fine.

Everything of Yan Yunshu belongs to her!

Her maternal grandfather's power, her generous dowry, and her marriage contract with the royal family.

Unexpectedly, just as she exerted her strength, Yan Yunshu dodged it cleverly by turning sideways.

Then, Yan Yunshu grabbed her wrist again.

Yan Yunshu was staring at her intently, with an evil smile on her lips.

"It seems that the concubine sister is still unrepentant and wants to kill the legitimate sister in public and find another one, right?"

Yan Shuyao was horrified, "No, no, I didn't, I didn't!"

"You're trying to argue even after I caught you!" Yan Yunshu pinched Yan Shuyao's wrist hard.

Yan Shuyao felt a burst of pain, struggled desperately, and looked at the maid.

The maidservant beside her saw everything that had just happened and knew that what the young lady said was true, so she did not dare to step forward to help Yan Shuyao, but just watched.

Just like the last time in the osmanthus forest, I never thought that even with a different maid, the same thing would happen.

Yan Shuyao had no one to help her, so she was naturally angry, anxious and scared, and could only shout at Yan Yunshu.

"You, who the hell are you!"

Yan Yunshu's smile deepened. She grabbed Yan Shuyao's collar and stared at her.

"No, it's impossible to exchange. Even if you could, you wouldn't be qualified to exchange for me. My luck is not something a lowly person like you can dream of. But the wild dog or boar that fell into the water on the roadside is more likely to have it."

Yan Shuyao looked at Yan Yunshu's sinister smile and couldn't believe it.

It's impossible. She's just a character in the book, a puppet. How could she know where she came from? How could she know God's will? How could she guess God's will? It's impossible. This is impossible.

Wild dogs and wild boars are even more impossible.

But how could she predict the will of heaven which she also knew?

Ghosts from another world, inner qualities, luck... everything he said was right.

Now that the system is gone, could she be right about changing the inside story?

Yan Shuyao was so frightened by this idea that her mind went blank and she couldn't say a word.

Yan Yunshu looked at Yan Shuyao with a smile.

"Sister, tell me, if one day you turned into a stray dog and your elder sister saw you, would she give you a bite to eat or would she beat you to death with a stick?"

When Yan Shuyao heard this, she felt like she was struck by lightning and her face turned pale.

"Impossible, impossible, Yan Yunshu, tell me, who are you?"

Yan Yunshu did not answer, but just glanced at the movement on the opposite shore of the lake. Seeing that the time was up, she pushed Yan Shuyao to her maid.

Yan Shuyao was free from Yan Yunshu's control, which was what she had been longing for.

He hurried towards the banquet venue.

Yan Yunshu walked along the lakeside, slowly towards the brightly lit area.

After a while, screams were heard from the other side of the lake.

Xiulian ran towards him and held him tightly in her arms.

"girl."

Yan Yunshu raised her eyes and looked at Xiulian.

Xiulian's face was filled with fear. "Miss, quickly follow Xiulian back to the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion. There are assassins in the Prime Minister's Mansion!"
