In the afternoon, Aunt Li was already getting herself ready to serve the master in the evening.

Chu Yue had nothing to do, so she went out for a stroll.

During this stroll, I happened to meet Chu Ci who was by the lake.

At this time, Chu Ci was sitting on a chair, staring at the koi swimming in the lake in a trance.

She was wearing a bright red dress that Cang Mo had given her. It was outlined with gold thread, and the hem was embroidered with sparkling butterflies using the rare moonlight lines that remain in the world. When the breeze blew, the hem of the skirt fluttered, as if butterflies were flying around it.

When Chu Yue saw this scene, her bright eyes dimmed and she lowered her head in shame.

She shamefully tugged at her dress, which had been washed so long ago that it turned pale. She was not even dressed as well as the maids in this mansion.

The clothes they were wearing all looked new.

Chu Yue clenched her hands into fists on both sides of her body. They were all young ladies from the mansion, so why did she get to eat delicious food, drink spicy drinks, and wear such beautiful clothes, while she was wearing rags that no one would want if thrown on the street.

The more Chu Yue thought about it, the more wronged she felt.

Think about when I just came back, my wife gave me a long time to show off my power.

But speaking of this, the relationship between Madam and Chu Ci doesn't seem to be very good. If I make a pledge of allegiance, wouldn't that please Madam? And then could she also wear such beautiful clothes?

The more Chu Yue thought about it, the more she felt she was right, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Chu Ci was full of murderous intent.

She placed her hands in front of her, slowly walked to Chu Ci's side, and bowed slowly, "Sister!"

Chu Ci was lost in thought when he was interrupted by Chu Yue's voice. Just as he was about to turn around to see who it was, he saw a graceful little girl standing there.

No, it shouldn’t be called a little girl. After all, she herself is not that big now.

Chu Ci looked Chu Yue up and down, and it took him a long time to remember that this was the third daughter of her good father. She seemed to be born to a concubine, and her surname seemed to be Zhao or Qian. However, that didn't matter.

"Chu-sun?"

Chu Ci felt something was wrong when she called out this name. Although her father's IQ was not high, he was an official at least and had some cultural background. He should not have been given such a name.

"Third sister?"

Chu Yue's face darkened. She was insulting herself. How could she, a grown-up, not even remember her own name? Was she so insignificant?

In fact, what Chu Yue didn’t know was that before her rebirth, Chu Yue was locked in her own yard and left to fend for herself, and had no contact with other people at all.

Later, after Chu Yue finally turned the tables, she was driven back to the old house because Concubine Li offended Mrs. Li. In other words, the two of them rarely saw each other.

Chu Yueyun was originally very angry, but when she looked up at Chu Ci, a smile had already appeared on her face. The speed of her expression changing was amazing, even faster than that of Sichuan Opera.

Chu Yue nodded, "Sister, my name is Chu Yue. My aunt and I just got back today. The maid was tidying up the yard. I had nothing to do, so I came out for a walk and happened to meet you, sister."

Chu Ci nodded. She had no connection with Chu Yue. Even in their previous life, they had met only a few times.

"Then go ahead and go shopping." After Chu Ci finished speaking, he turned his gaze back to the koi.

Chu Yue stood there, feeling extremely ashamed and angry when she saw that Chu Ci didn't want to pay attention to her and ignored her. She had been away for several years, but she really thought she was easy to bully.

Chu Yue did not give up. She walked to the edge of the fish pond and looked at Chu Ci with a smile, like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, and then said to the person opposite her that she had no ill intentions.

"Sister, I haven't been back for a long time. I'm alone and have nowhere to go. The yard is dusty now. Can you let me stay here for a while?"

Chu Ci looked at Chu Yue and began to look her up and down.

She was the third daughter of the Chu family, and she had her aunt to protect her. Furthermore, Mrs. Li still needed her. Did her room still need to be thoroughly cleaned? This was simply impossible.

Chu Ci glanced at her in disbelief. She didn't know what Chu Yue wanted to do, whether to make friends with her or whatever. Her heart was telling her to stay away from her.

Chu Ci smiled faintly, looking at the pond without blinking, "Sister, your words are too harsh. You are also a member of the Chu family. Of course you can stay here."

In this way, Chu Ci kept looking at the pond, as if he was fascinated, without saying a word.

Chu Yue stood beside her, her cherry lips slightly pouting, her hands constantly rubbing her handkerchief, as if she had suffered a great injustice and had to stand in the corner again.

Not long after, Chunhua came over with tea. She placed the tea on the table and was about to make tea when Chuyue secretly pushed her aside. "Let me pour the tea for you. Go get me some snacks that are easy to digest."

Chunhua didn't let go, turned her head and glanced at Chuci, and only when she saw her master nod did she dare to nod, "Then I'll trouble the Third Miss."

Chu Yue took the teapot and slowly poured some tea for Chu Ci. She bent down with both hands holding the teacup and walked to the opposite side of Chu Ci, "Sister, have some tea."

She glanced behind Chu Ci, the corners of her mouth slightly raised. She must have a good communication with Sister Chu Ci this time.

Chu Ci glanced up at Chu Yue. What was he thinking of her? He'd never seen anyone so respectful to her before? He even offered her tea. As the saying goes, when things are out of the ordinary, there's something fishy going on.

But then I thought about it again, there has never been any conflict between the two of them, so normally there shouldn't be any grudges between them. Could it be that he wants to be nice to her?

Chu Ci was about to take the teacup when Chu Yue's hand suddenly loosened and the entire cup of tea poured into Chu Ci's hand.

Fortunately, this glass of water was brought from her yard. Even if it was boiling water, it would not be that hot after being brought from such a long distance.

Chu Ci immediately pulled his hand back, as it was completely scalded red.

Chu Ci glanced at Chu Yue coldly. She didn’t quite understand. He had just returned and hadn’t even sat down yet, but he dared to provoke her. What did this mean?

Chu Yue saw the tea spilled on Chu Ci's hands, and hurriedly took her handkerchief and wiped Chu Ci's hands hard.

Until a strong pain came, Chu Ci pushed hard, she wanted to push Chu Yue's hands away.

But I don’t know if she used too much force or Chu Yue was too weak, but I saw her fall backwards.

As luck would have it, there was a pond behind him. With a splash, he fell into the pond.

Chu Ci looked at her hands. Has her strength become so great?

"Stop, Chuci, what are you doing, you little beast?"

Chu Ci took back the foot she had just taken. She looked coldly at Chu Yue in the pond and asked, "Whose little beast can save people?"

She turned around with a cold face, and the first thing she saw was the angry face of Marquis Chu and the gloating face of Li.

It’s great that so many people have united to deal with her. This family is really unbearable.
