Poisonous Goddess: I'm just lazing around in the mortal realm.

Pei Nanyue sat on the stone bench, staring thoughtfully at the medicine in front of her. She had a vague feeling that her sister's departure was not as simple as just going out.

Normally, if her younger sister wanted to sneak out, she would give Aru enough time to prepare for leaving the manor, so that Aru could spare the time to find someone to tell Ameng and the others that they were going out.

But today is too strange.

Even if Aru didn't have time to inform them, just looking at the empty courtyard, one could tell that they must have sneaked out of the mansion before dawn.

Pei Suisui had just been caught in a heavy rain, and her health was already weak. If something were to happen to her outside...

How can she explain this to her deceased mother?

Her thoughts inevitably disturbed Pei Nanyue's mind, and she subconsciously swung her fist and slammed it on the stone table.

Unexpectedly, the medicine bowl on the stone table suddenly exploded on its own, spilling the dark medicine all over the table.

Coincidentally, just then, A-Meng, who had just learned about the Second Miss's situation from the groom at the manor, ran back to the courtyard and happened to see this scene. She quickly stepped forward, grabbed a handkerchief, and wiped away the medicine stains on Pei Nanyue.

Upon seeing this, Pei Nanyue quickly stood up. Fortunately, the medicine bowl was some distance away from her, and she didn't get any medicine on her.

"Young Miss, are you alright? What happened to this medicine bowl...?"

A Meng glanced at the medicine bowl that had suddenly shattered out of the corner of her eye, and even she had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

"Where is Second Miss?"

Pei Nanyue disregarded everything else, grabbed A Meng's slender wrist, and asked seriously.

She had felt uneasy ever since she woke up that day.

Just like when Pei Suisui was pushed off the cliff by the Fourth Princess, she was somewhat flustered.

A flicker of panic crossed A Meng's eyes, and she quickly lowered her head, replying softly.

"The Second Miss only took Aru out of the manor, probably because she was afraid the Eldest Miss would find out. She didn't bring any servants with her." She lowered her head very quickly, but Pei Nanyue still caught a glimpse of something unusual.

They actually managed to sneak out again?!

Pei Nanyue slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, trying hard to control her emotions.

"Did you go out without any servants? Did you walk or call a coachman to drive you out?"

“She did call the coachman.” A-Meng could naturally guess how angry Pei Nanyue would be at this moment.

She had been by Pei Nanyue's side since childhood and could see how much the eldest young lady doted on the second young lady. Even the master couldn't compare.

But now, the second young lady has repeatedly sneaked out, which must have displeased the eldest young lady.

At this moment, Pei Nanyue's voice came softly from above her head, interrupting A Meng's thoughts.

Where did the second young lady go?

Hearing Pei Nanyue's icy tone, A Meng trembled involuntarily, raised her head, and hesitantly answered.

"She didn't...she didn't say."

Upon hearing this, Pei Nanyue seemed to laugh out loud in exasperation, her voice rising slightly, tinged with a hint of displeasure.

"All the servants in the manor saw the Second Miss leave, but not a single one came to inform me?"

Normally, she would have turned a blind eye to this, but the Pei family is going through a lot of trouble right now, not to mention that they have been making headlines in front of the Emperor recently.

Even just considering the An family alone, they have always been eyeing them covetously, their relationship as sworn enemies.

His own sister even fainted and collapsed several times due to injuries sustained at Anjia.

At such a tense time, not a single person in the manor has come to deliver a message to her!

It's really outrageous!

Thinking of this, Pei Nanyue could no longer suppress her emotions and slammed her hand on the stone table.

"Pass down my message: all those on duty today will be fined half a month's wages. And if anyone is found to have information but fails to report it, they will be fined three months' wages!"

"Yes, Miss."

A-Meng trembled with fright. Although she had been by the young lady's side for more than ten years, this was the first time she had ever seen the young lady so angry that she wanted to punish the servants in the mansion.

But when A-Meng heard that Pei Nanyue only punished the servants by deducting half a month's wages, she couldn't help but feel much softer.

The young lady was ultimately kind-hearted towards them.

Just as A-Meng was about to leave, a flustered voice came from the doorway.

"Miss-"

A neatly dressed maid hurriedly ran into the courtyard, lifting her skirt.

Seeing this, A-Meng frowned and stepped forward to block the maid's path.

"What kind of behavior is it to run around and make a ruckus in the mansion?"

She couldn't help but scold the maid a few times, fearing that the young lady might get angry and punish the maid in the process.

"Young Miss...I was wrong!"

The maid had never seen Pei Nanyue angry before, so she quickly knelt down to beg for forgiveness.

Seeing this, Pei Nanyue felt a splitting headache and quickly asked...

"Has the Second Miss returned to the manor?"

At this moment, she felt her eyelids twitching and felt uneasy, so she wanted to send Ameng to find her sister and bring her back to the manor.

The maidservant quickly replied.

"Someone sent a letter to your residence, saying that you, Miss, should take a look."

The maidservant quickly handed the letter from her sleeve to A-Meng, who then gave it to Pei Nanyue.

Pei Nanyue had no interest in reading the letter at the moment. She glanced at it casually, but was startled by the familiar seal on it, and her expression faltered slightly.

The hand holding the letter suddenly lost its strength, and the letter slowly fell to the ground.

Pei Nanyue hurriedly squatted down to pick it up, afraid that the maid next to her would see her.

Her hand holding the letter trembled slightly as she carefully stroked the lower right corner of the letter.

A little rabbit was printed in the lower right corner of the letter, but perhaps the person stamping it was in a hurry, because the rabbit was missing a foot.

She couldn't help but wonder, could it be him?

Where did this letter come from?

Pei Nanyue quickly stood up and looked at the kneeling maid, questioning her.

“Yes… a child just delivered this letter. He said it was from an older brother who was dressed strangely.”

The maidservant caught a glimpse of Pei Nanyue's agitated state out of the corner of her eye, and quickly lowered her head even further, fearing that her mistress would blame her and she would be punished.

"Big brother?"

Pei Nanyue's brows furrowed even more as she muttered to herself and carefully unfolded the letter to read it.

The paper on the letter was very ordinary; it was probably paper produced in Nanyang, which is readily available.

But when Pei Nanyue unfolded the letter and saw the words on it, even though she had prepared herself mentally, her heart still skipped a beat.

Long-lost friends are vividly depicted on the paper.

Pei Nanyue was stunned and stood there.

Even she didn't expect to receive his letter at this time!

A Meng had been waiting nearby, but after a long while she still hadn't heard any instructions from Pei Nanyue, she slowly raised her head and looked at her, asking softly...

"Miss?"

Ameng couldn't hide her surprise; she noticed a hint of joy on the young lady's face.

After a long pause, Pei Nanyue, seemingly oblivious to A Meng's gaze, carefully folded the paper and tucked it into her sleeve. She then asked the kneeling maid...

"What about the children?"

The maidservant, naturally surprised that Pei Nanyue would inquire about such a matter, quickly raised her head and replied.

“They’ve already left, but I saw it clearly. The child went in the direction of the east of the city, so the person might also be in the east of the city.”

"A-Meng, come with me to the east of the city."

"Yes."
