  ——————

  According to what the maid said, Yuhe really left, and Chu Keji finally breathed a sigh of relief. Her hand was injured, so she didn't have to embroider any lotus pouches anymore.

  It's not yet time for dinner, but the Crown Prince's consort has already sent over a maidservant, saying she was to be used by Chu Ke'er during her stay in the manor.

  Chu Kei thought of it when she drove away Yuhe, the Crown Prince's consort should send someone to her side. After considering it, she felt that it was better than having Yuhe by her side. That maid doesn't know who instructed her, and won't stop until she ruins her own reputation. Can't talk about it again and again, or even false things will become true.

  Having a sly and cunning maid by your side is even worse than having a maid who is openly disloyal.

  The purpose of the crown princess is now clear, and in front of herself, she is also bright, but the person who is holding the lotus leaf is dark. Chu Ke'er can't just take the move, or else he will be passively driven away by the lotus leaf holder. Wait for that person to make a move, maybe they will reveal their horse's hoof.

  Chu Xue looked at the new maid and asked with a smile: "What's your name...?"

  The maid smiled and replied: "My name is Caiyun."

  "Caiyun," Chu Ke smiled and nodded: "It's a pretty good name. Bring me a glass of water, I'm very thirsty."

  Caiyun smiled and brought in a cup of tea, Chu Kejie took it and drank, Caiyun then stood at the door waiting. Chu Kejie found a book to read, ignoring her.

  When the lantern was lit, Caiyun came in and lit the lamp. She invited her to go to Miss Jinshu's place for dinner together, so she went and had dinner with Jinshu, Chuyuntin, and Chuyunqing. Chu Kui returned along the corridor, washed up and went to bed.

  Today, unexpectedly, the Crown Prince's consort didn't come to find trouble with me. Yesterday, she almost dared to openly and brazenly take me to a deserted place to mete out private punishment. Now that I'm on the chopping block, however, there's no sign of movement. It seems the Crown Prince's warning has taken effect after all. The Crown Prince's consort... is truly afraid of the Crown Prince.

  But how did the crown prince know? Who was so kind as to inform the crown prince?

  The next day, Chu Ke woke up to find that the noise of Yuhe was gone, and there was no sign of her impatient figure. Instead, she felt refreshed and invigorated. Caiyun had a calm temperament and spoke little, attending to her grooming before standing aside to await her instructions, not speaking unless spoken to.

  Chu Xueqin took out the book she read yesterday and continued reading. The maids outside didn't know what they were talking about, discussing and gossiping, until they made so much noise that Chu Xueqin couldn't focus on her reading at all. She raised her head and asked: "What's going on?"

  The colorful cloud waiting at the door bowed and replied: "Report to Third Young Lady, Lotus... is dead."

  Chu Ke's eyes widened in shock, and she asked: "How did he die?"

  "The horse carriage turned over into the water by the side of the road and drowned."

  Chu Xue knew that Cai Yun had been observing herself, and the former Chu Xue was weak in character, even the maids could bully her, now... still pretending to be like that?

  Think it's unnecessary, just let the Crown Prince's wife know that she has changed her temper now, and ask her to get used to her new personality. She smiled and looked at Caiyun: "This is quite a coincidence, the carriage overturned, but she can drown."

  Caiyun was stunned, she really couldn't have imagined that Chuke would be so ruthless. Even an ordinary person, upon hearing that their personal maid had died, wouldn't be able to smile, right? Moreover, people all say that this Third Young Lady's temperament is as gentle as a sheep, kind and benevolent like a Bodhisattva reincarnated...

  What's going on today? Could it be...

  She immediately thought more of it.

  Since Chu Xiangxiang woke up, Yuhe, this maid, has been arrogant and slow, not putting Miss Chu in her eyes at all. After arriving at the Duke's mansion, she deliberately tried to ruin Chu Xiangxiang's reputation with every word and action. How could Chu Xiangxiang still have any master-servant affection for her?

  Obviously showing one's true nature, but insisting on pretending to be someone else, Chu Xue was helpless. People who think too much often overcomplicate things...

  One of Pinmei's maids came in and said: "Third Miss, Third Master is in the flower hall in the west wing, he invites you to go over."

  Chu Ke said: "Is there anything wrong? Don't jump to conclusions."

  The maid may not have thought that she could ask a question in return, and after being stunned for a moment, she said: "I suppose you know about the maid by San Gu Niang's side, and are afraid that San Gu Niang will be alone with her wild thoughts..." As she spoke, she quickly glanced at Cai Yun.

  Chu Ke smiled and said: "What nonsense am I thinking of? Life is impermanent, if one goes, they're gone. Just have someone bury them properly."

  The maid looked at Caiyun again and saw that she had no intention of persuading the young lady, so she could only smile and say: "Second Miss and Fourth Miss have both gone out, and it's also boring for you to sit in the house. Why not go out for a walk?"

  Chu Xue had been silent for half a day, thinking that if she didn't go, it would be difficult to explain to this maid. It seemed like she could only go and take a look, wondering what kind of trick her cousin was up to this time.

  She had no choice but to stand up, and Caiyun saw her preparing to go out, immediately taking a deep purple fox fur cloak over. Chu Xue's heart moved, the clothes that Jin Shu sent yesterday, she swept a glance but didn't see this one.

  She raised her eyes and stared at Cai Yun: "Change into another one, my blue cloak will do."

  Caiyun nodded and agreed, then went to fetch her clean cloak and helped her put it on.

  Three people came out of the house, a cold air hit them in the face, Chu Kei hid her face in the collar of her cloak, and followed Pin Mei Xuan's maid to the side courtyard's flower hall. As soon as they entered the room, a warm air hit their faces, it was warm and cozy inside, a purple copper gilded brazier-like stove against the wall emitted a warm air that completely isolated the cold air outside.

  Zhu Yingtuo sat in a hollow-backed chair by the window, and when he saw her come in, he smiled and said: "Third sister is indeed quiet, not inviting you to see her go out."

  The maid came over and took off Chu Ke's cyan cloak. Chu Ke smiled and said, "It's cold, I don't want to go out."

  Chu Yun Ting and Chu Yun Qing sat across from each other at an octagonal table, Chu Yun Ting smiled as she looked at her: "Is it okay today?"

  "Alright."

  Chu Yun Qing stared at Chu Ke Hui with a deliberate gaze, smiling as she said: "Third sister, judging from your appearance, you don't seem to be in pain...... Could it be that you still don't know?"

  Chu Yun Ting took a glance at Chu Yun Qing, her fourth sister had become quite overbearing these past few days.

  Chu Ke said: "Is it about Yu He's matter? I know."

  Not to mention Chu Yunqing, even Chu Yunting and Zhu Yuxu were somewhat surprised. Chu Yunqing laughed in surprise: "Third sister knows, it's so ruthless... I thought third sister had cried to the point of not being able to get up."

  Chu Ke said calmly, "Although I'm not feeling well in my heart, there's no need to cry and let everyone see it. It's even more impossible for me to cry like a fool because of her, a mere maid, that would be my fault, where is the dignity? Besides, she's just a maid, if I were to cry so much that I couldn't get up, I'd ruin her chance of reincarnation, even in the underworld."

  Chu Ke looked at Chu Yunqing and continued to say lightly: "Besides, if I cried like Fourth Sister said, and thought of me in a good way, they would say that I have a kind heart, and for the sake of a maid, I can be so sad; if not thinking of me in a good way, they would say that I am frivolous, without any respect for a young lady, and a maid can make me so sad." She looked at Chu Yunqing and said: "Right? Fourth Sister?"

  Chu Yunqing looked at her in surprise, for a moment he didn't know what to say. It was Zhu Yuxiu who reacted quickly and smiled: "She's just a maid, if she dies, so be it. All that can be said is that she wasn't lucky enough to serve Third Sister."

  Chu Kei puckered up her mouth.

  "Third sister, try this tea." Just then, the maid brought up a cup of tea for Chu Ke Hui. Chu Yun Ting changed the subject and said: "It's warm in my stomach, I feel very comfortable after drinking it."

  Chu Xue raised her cup and took a sip, nodding: "It's really good, the aroma is just right, not too strong or too weak." She smiled and took another sip.

  "Third sister, what were you doing before coming out?" asked Zhu Yuxu.

  "Read a book." Chu Xue said: "There is a book in the room, pick it up and read it, there's nothing else to do... Ah yes, Brother Shu said yesterday that I should embroider a purse..."

  Zhu Yifei smiled and shook his head: "Since you've hurt your hand, of course you can't embroider. Let's just consider it a joke."

  "Sanmei, how did you hurt your hand?" Chu Yunting asked.

  Chu Ke smiled and explained: "I asked Ou He to sew the fabric I had found onto me, she inserted a needle on the side, which I didn't see. When I picked it up, it scratched... At that time, I was very angry, in a fit of rage, I drove her away. Now thinking about it, if I hadn't driven her away, this wouldn't have happened to her." As she spoke, her expression finally turned somewhat sorrowful.

  Zhu Yifei smiled and said to Chu Keqi: "However, that pouch is owed to me, wait until my hand heals and then embroider it for me."

  Chu Ke nodded with a smile: "Since Brother-in-law remembers, I'll help out once my hand is better..."

  It is by.
