For a whole day, Liu Shuyue took the maid Xiaoju to accompany Pang Ruyan all the time, constantly dipped in cold water and wet the handkerchief, and applied it to Ru Yan's forehead, wanting to reduce the heat for her, and personally decocted the medicine, and fed Ru Yan little by little with a spoon, as if she were her own sister, she was meticulous, and the sisterhood they had been with for three years was often in vain.

After a busy day, it was time for Liu Shuyue and Xiaoju to return to Liufu. Xiao Ju freshened up and removed her makeup for Shuyue, and kneaded her shoulders for her, "Miss is tired today, and I took care of it for a day." ”

"It's okay, Sister Ru Yan is unconscious, I should do my best. Liu Shuyue rubbed her temples while closing her eyes and relaxing. I was thinking about Sister Ru Yan's condition in my heart, and although it was not serious to listen to the doctor's meaning, I didn't know when I would wake up.

After Xiao Ju kneaded Liu Shuyue for a while, she remembered that it was time to prepare a hot bath for the young lady, so she left the house and went to the east kitchen. And here, Liu Shuyue leaned in front of the dresser, thinking with her eyes closed, the window was ajar, and a light breeze was blowing, soothing her tired body and mind.

Liu Shuyue was squinting her eyes slightly, and suddenly, a ball of paper flew in from the window, which happened to hit her hand, "Who is it?" Liu Shuyue opened her eyes suddenly, looked over, but did not see any shadow outside the window. She looked at the wall outside the house, she lived in one of the most secluded courtyards in Liufu, and the outside was connected, and the paper balls might have been thrown in from the outside walls.

Liu Shuyue quickly and gently stretched out the paper ball and kneaded it flat, seeing that Liu Shuyue frowned, only to see a few big characters written on it in beautiful handwriting, "If you want to be rich and glorious, see you in the bamboo forest." In just a few words, it provoked Liu Shuyue's heart to stir.

Who was the caller? What was the meaning of the words on the note? Could it be that she had guessed what was on her mind, or was it just a trap, a deliberate attempt to lure herself into it? Or is it the so-called brother who used this method to trick himself into going to the bamboo forest? No, it's not like it, she still knows Liu Yutao's temperament to some extent, he is arrogant and frivolous, if he really wants to bully himself, he will never bother to ask Shuyue to go outside, and he will dare to do anything wrong in the house. Or do she have some other enemies? But over the years, she has always been humble and cautious, except for rarely going out in the house, and basically not offending others. Who is it? Liu Shuyue sifted all the people she knew from her mind, and she couldn't think of a reason.

After pacing back and forth in the room with the note, Liu Shuyue still decided to take a gamble, for the words on the note that poked her mind, whether it was a trap or not, even if it was Longtan Tiger's Den, she had to break through.

Thinking like this in her heart, Liu Shuyue picked up a cloak, wrapped herself tightly, and carried another lantern, and then softly covered the door and walked out of the courtyard. Her courtyard is the most remote place in the house, except for a few mothers-in-law in the courtyard, basically no one will come, and the room where those mothers-in-law live is on the east side, far away from her house.

Not far from the west gate of the courtyard where she is located is a deep bamboo forest, and the bamboo forest written on the address is this. There aren't many people who usually go, not to mention that it's getting late, and there are basically no people there. But for the sake of caution, Liu Shuyue still pressed her face with a cloak and hat to avoid being recognized.

After walking into the bamboo forest, Liu Shuyue lifted the lantern, and saw a figure wearing a black cloak standing there with his back to him, about the same height as himself, Liu Shuyue guessed that this should be a woman. Liu Shuyue thought about who it would be, and approached softly. Just as he was about to get closer, the black figure suddenly spoke, with a slight smile, "I knew you were coming." ”

Met late at night, and didn't know her identity, Liu Shuyue had to be cautious, and raised the lantern higher at the moment, and couldn't help but want to see it clearly. But seeing that her whole body was wrapped in a black cloak, and she was standing in the dark again, and she couldn't see half of her appearance, Liu Shuyue couldn't help but lift her heart, "Who are you?"

"Why, I only saw the banquet in the Prime Minister's Mansion yesterday, can't Miss Shuyue hear my voice today? ”

This voice seemed to be heard somewhere, it seemed to be somewhat familiar, but it was not the same as what she had heard, the clear tone, as if a pearl had fallen to the ground, without any tone. Liu Shuyue thought for a moment before finally locking on who it was, and blurted out in surprise, her slender eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and her eyes were slightly cold, "It turned out to be you!"

"That's right, it's me", the black figure turned around in the dim light, and then took off the hat from the cloak, a sly smile appeared on his delicate face.

She didn't have much intersection with this person, how could she use paper to ask her to come here, and she didn't care much at the moment, so she cut in directly, "Why did you ask me to come here?" Liu Shuyue asked in a clear tone, as if the pearl had landed on the ground, without any tone.

"Of course, it is to help you achieve the glory and wealth you want. The corners of the woman's mouth hooked up a sneer, like a poppy blooming, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a sneer, like a poppy blooming, looking at her a little playfully. "Don't you want to get rid of bullying and get the glory and wealth you want?"

"Glory and wealth are just a passing moment for me, what can I do, what can I do if I don't, anyway, I have survived all these years. In front of this person, Liu Shuyue didn't want to reveal her thoughts, nor did she want to be belittled.

"Oh, glory and wealth are not rare," the woman said in a deliberately raised tone, the corners of her mouth hooked a perfect arc, and she looked at Liu Shuyue's eyes and continued, "So, what about your sister Ruyan, or is it the prince of the Prime Minister's Mansion? Although you were beautiful at the banquet yesterday, it seems that no one will notice you." You're just a foil after all. ”

These words suddenly pierced Liu Shuyue's heart, and her face couldn't help but darken, slightly stunned. She recalled Pang Ruyan's brilliant look at the banquet in the Prime Minister's Mansion yesterday, no matter where she was, even if she was dressed in plain clothes, Pang Ruyan would always be the most dazzling one in the crowd, making people unable to take their eyes off. Not only is his identity prominent, but he is also favored by Xia Lang, the son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but Pang Ruyan doesn't care.

As for herself, she was originally happy to come to the banquet, because she could finally have the opportunity to stand in the most eye-catching Prime Minister's Mansion, shoulder to shoulder with those ladies and ladies, and even maybe be favored by any son, and get rid of her brother's bullying and marry into a noble family. But at this moment, she realized that even if she blended into the crowd, it still didn't work, because all the light was Pang Ruyan's, and it was the eldest lady of the Pang family. And she is still the most inconspicuous one. Maybe no one even remembers the name. Why is fate so unfair, why does all the light belong to her? Her heart told this sentence over and over again, but she was helpless against the cruel status quo.
