The rain became heavier and heavier, until nightfall, it was still pouring rain, a few lightning flashes at the end of the sky, and occasionally a few muffled thunders, which made people feel unusually depressed, and also made Shui Duyao more and more restless.

Aunt Liu's illness is insignificant to anyone in the house, especially those maids and women who have been whipped by her, the eldest lady and the third lady are even more eager for her to die of illness, although Shui Lianyue does not want to pay much attention to it, but because of the kindness of her mother, she has attacked again, so she simply sent Hongying to go next door to see if Zhuge Ling has come back.

Seeing that after dinner, Zhuge Ling still didn't come back, even Shui Lianyue muttered, and suddenly remembered the words of the demonic man last night, Master hasn't come back so late, could it be that it has something to do with what happened recently?

As time passed, the rain outside the house was still the same, and Hongying hurriedly entered the door with an oil umbrella, but she was panicked, she first glanced at Shui Duyao, and after handing the umbrella to Qiaocui, she hurriedly walked to Shui Lianyue, leaned over and whispered.

"The eldest lady and the third lady just went to the Dusk Smoke Pavilion, and found that Shui Duyao was not there, not only let people beat the maid who guarded the door, but also sent many people to search for her whereabouts throughout the house, when I came back, I vaguely saw them rushing to the Lanxiang Pavilion, it seems that it is another trouble."

Shui Lianyue was slightly stunned, then glanced at Shui Duyao indifferently, and waved her hand to signal Hongying to step aside, but it was Shui Duyao who seemed to be aware of something, and now with her identity, she has been sitting on pins and needles all day long, and her sensitivity has naturally improved.

She thought about it, and her pale little face showed a light smile with difficulty: "I think, I'd better go back and see my mother first, it's been a day, and I don't know if my mother has eaten on time, if the master comes back, please say a few words for me."

As soon as the words fell, Shui Duyao didn't wait for Shui Lianyue to speak, so she walked towards the door, and Shui Lianyue didn't open her mouth to stop her, letting her go.

And the fourth lady on the side saw Shui Duyao's weak figure, running in the rain, crumbling, she couldn't bear to look at Shui Lianyue, and said softly: "Now that Aunt Liu has also stepped down, how can you say that Yao'er is also your own sister, what's more, what is the difference between the current eldest lady and Liu Ruoyan back then?" No matter how much you hate, it's all gone, and you have to be forgiving and forgiving, why do you have to do so desperately"?

"Yes, Miss, if she goes out at this moment, she will definitely meet the eldest lady's group halfway, and now the eldest lady can't wait to grab Aunt Liu's pigtail and pinch it hard", Hongying was also unbearable, just passing by the garden, she clearly heard the tone of the eldest lady's command, and was obviously angry, as if she could eat it in one bite if Shui Duyao was in front of her.

Shui Lianyue looked at Hongying in amazement, as if teasing: "I don't know, when did you care so much about Shui Duyao"?

"Miss, you know I didn't mean that", Hongying hurriedly defended, and after seeing that Shui Lianyue was not really angry, she lowered her head a little coquettishly.

Shui Lianyue smiled faintly, then looked at the silent Zhuge Gurong on the side and asked, "Rong, what do you think?"

Zhuge Gurong sighed lightly, looked at the damp ground outside the door, the heavy rain fell and splashed water droplets, it had been raining for a day, and he looked at the steps on the rampage, and his face was a little worried.

After looking at it for a while, he turned his head and smiled at Shui Lianyue and said, "If you are worried in your heart, why do you want to ask me again"?

Shui Lianyue listened to Zhuge Gurong's words, was slightly stunned, and said with a smile: "Just go, why beat around the bush."

As he spoke, he asked Hongying to take a coat and put it on, holding an oil umbrella and a lantern, and went out with Hongying.

As soon as he came out of the Lanxiang Pavilion, he saw a group of people gathered together, although the sound of rain was loud in his ears, he could still vaguely hear the sound of Meng Qiuhe's anger coming from the crowd.

The two glanced at each other, walked over quickly, and pushed aside the crowd, only to see Shui Duyao lying on the ground in mud, trembling all over, faintly with blood stains on the side of her cheeks, and from time to time there were maids around her who kicked her feet twice, and her mother-in-law hit her twice.

"Stop", with a cold drink, everyone turned their eyes to Shui Lianyue, Meng Qiuhe was also slightly stunned, his face turned pale, but when he saw that the person who came was Shui Lianyue, he glared at her, and said with a little majesty: "It turned out to be the fourth young lady, it is raining so heavily today, don't you raise your body in the Lanxiang Pavilion, what are you doing when you run out?"

Her words were slightly caring, but Shui Lianyue would not take it to heart, ignoring Meng Qiuhe, and asked Hongying to quickly help Shui Duyao up, and handed her a cloak to wrap her, at this time, Shui Duyao's already weak body was already shivering from the cold, her face was extremely pale, and when she saw that the person who came was Shui Lianyue, instead of crying aggrievedly, she smiled at her with relief.

"You still chased it out after all", as soon as the words fell, Shui Duyao fell into Hongying's arms and fainted.

"Come on, send her back to the Dusk Smoke Pavilion", Meng Qiuhe also ignored Shui Lianyue, and when she saw Shui Duyao fainting, she ordered the maid next to her.

"I'll take it back to Lanxiang Pavilion, don't worry about it", Shui Lianyue held an oil umbrella for the two of them, just glanced at Meng Qiuhe indifferently and said, then turned around to leave.

Meng Qiuhe originally didn't want to have too many conflicts with Shui Lianyue, Aunt Liu fell, she knew best that Shui Lianyue had a lot of credit, and her master had not left yet, which meant that she had not yet sat firmly in the position of the eldest lady.

But in front of so many maids-in-law, Shui Lianyue's attitude made it clear that she was embarrassed, and suddenly, a wave of anger arose in her heart.

"Stop", Meng Qiuhe shouted, Shui Lianyue really stopped, turned around, but didn't wait for Meng Qiuhe to speak, and said coldly: "Your eldest lady's position is not easy to come by, you just cherish it, don't make me unhappy."

As soon as the words came out, everyone present, including Meng Qiuhe, stood stunned suddenly, watching Shui Lianyue and Hongying's backs gradually drift away, but the maids and women around them didn't dare to say a word.

It wasn't until a long time later, when the rain became heavier and heavier, Meng Qiuhe's eyes were half-narrowed, and a faint killing intent flashed, which flashed in an instant, good for you, you are a ripple moon, you don't eat and drink like this, give you a few thin noodles, but you threaten me instead? We'll see.

Meng Qiuhe turned around and left angrily with a group of maids, and met the third lady halfway, but she didn't give her a good look, which made the third lady angry.
