"How to provoke the general?" The Palace Superintendent stood up lazily and came closer in a funny way, "It's your business that you hate Tao Yueru. I can't marry into the Xiao Mansion either way. She has no influence on me, but you can't hurt others.

Lend me my hand to deal with it."

"Haha! Qinghe, Qinghe, you really think I'm a fool."

Seeing that she was not fooled, Qinghe was instantly angry, "You can only bully me. If you have the ability, go and see how powerful Tao Yueru is. She just got married and has already taken away half of Xiao Jingyan's thoughts. Do you really expect Xiao Jing?"

Yan will come to accompany you every month and dream."

"Don't look at how old you are. Tao Yueru is a beauty."

"Pah!" The Palace Supervisor was irritated and slapped her in the face, "Shut up and start a fight. I won't be fooled."

"Now that you've arrived at my place, please take care of your princess's airs. I'm not Xiao Jingyan, and I don't know how to care about women."

"Get in here and kneel."

Qinghe stood still, and the Palace Supervisor said to the maid outside the door: "Why are you still standing there? You don't have the eyesight!"

When Ming Yue heard this, she came in and dragged Qing He into the house. Then she kicked her on the knee and forced her to kneel down.

The Palace Supervisor ordered Mingyue to bring a basin of water and hold it for Qinghe.

Under such pressure, Qinghe did not dare to resist.

That night, Yue Ya came back from outside and saw the maid Xia Lian who was rushing back to Tao Yueru's yard. Xia Lian leaned over and said, "Miss Yue Ya."

"Yeah!" Seeing her, he hurried away again.

Yue Ya called out, "Did something happen to Xia Lian?"

Only then did Xia Lian stop, with a look of dissatisfaction on her face, "Why did Miss Yue Ya treat our young lady like this?"

"I?"

Seeing Yue Ya being accused by a maid, Chun'er was also dissatisfied, "Xia Lian, what do you mean? What did our lady do?"

"You ladies are going too far. You know clearly that Xiao Jingyan is not a good person. Not only is there Qinghe but also a masculine old woman like Gong Si Jian, and you still let her get married. This place is simply not for people to stay in."

"If this servant hadn't found out about the Palace Supervisor and the uncle's affairs, the young lady would still have been kept in the dark."

Chun'er said excitedly: "But our lady already persuaded your lady on the day she got married. She insisted on getting married. How can you blame our lady?"

"Anyway, it's your lady's fault. She didn't have good intentions."

"Xia Lian, you are going too far."

Listening to the quarrel between the two, Yue Ya felt very complicated. She said in a deep voice, "It is indeed my fault for this matter. Chun'er, please don't argue with her. I will naturally bear the responsibility for the wrong thing I did."

"Hmph! How are you going to bear it? You have already harmed our lady and ruined her life's happiness. How do you still have face?"

"I will talk to Yueru about this matter. This is between me and your lady. Even if she wants to accuse me, she will blame me.

After finishing her words, she looked at Chun'er and said, "Chun'er, come with me to Yueru Courtyard."

"yes."

Chun'er glared at Xia Lian and then followed Yue Ya's footsteps.

When they arrived at Yueru's courtyard, they could only hear the sound of the piano coming from inside. The sound was long and distant, and every string was filled with strong lovesickness. Yue Ya, who was standing at the door, took a deep breath and stepped in.

Under the grape trellis in the corner of the yard, I saw a red figure strumming the strings. She lowered her head softly, and her fingertips moved smoothly as if she were full of soul. Her delicate and beautiful little face was full of melancholy.

The strings are broken, and the sound of the piano draws out a long tail tone, which is a bit harsh.

Tao Yueru really lost interest. She raised her head and saw Yue Ya standing on the side. In an instant, the gloom in her heart disappeared, replaced by a thick smile on her face, showing a trace of happiness.

She stood up and walked towards Yue Ya, holding her hand intimately, "Yue Ya, why are you here? You didn't make a sound at all."

"And you, Xia Lian, didn't even say a word when you came back."

"Miss," Xia Lian glared at Yue Ya aggrievedly, and then said to Tao Yueru: "Miss, you have something on your mind, so why bother yourself."

"What do you know? I feel like preparing tea, and Yue Ya and I will have a drink."

Yue Ya looked at the redness at the end of her eyes and said lightly: "Get ready for the bar! I want to have a drink with you tonight. I won't go home until I'm drunk."

"Miss Yue Ya, you should solve our lady's problem. Don't think that drinking can make up for it."

As soon as Xia Lian said this, Tao Yueru became angry instantly, "Xia Lian, how do you behave? Who asked you to talk to Yue Ya in this tone?"

"Miss."

"Don't blame her, I do have something to tell her tonight."

After retreating from the three maids around him, Yue Ya and Tao Yueru sat in the yard. They drank while looking at the stars in the sky, and it took a long time before they spoke.

"I hid the affairs of the Palace Supervisor from you."

Tao Yueru picked up the wine and took a sip, "I know."

Yue Ya said in surprise: "You know, how could you know?"

"Although the matter of the Palace Supervisor being thrown into the stable by Qing He quickly subsided, I can still guess the reason."

"Then why do you still want to marry?"

"Because..." At this point, Tao Yueru did not continue. She looked at Yue Ya with struggling sorrow, and those hidden emotions were always difficult to express.

How should she say that the person she liked was not Xiao Jingyan in the first place?

How can she say that the person she likes can never be the same as her?

How should she say that she already knew that Yue Ya was her childhood playmate as early as the day she married Xiao Jingyan?

What should she say? In fact, Yue Ya, I married voluntarily and it has nothing to do with you.

How could someone as smart as her like a fool like Xiao Jingyan? But only in this way could she stay with her forever.

Yue Ya looked at her, feeling a little distressed, "Tell me, what do you like about Xiao Jingyan? To do this for him, that man is really worthless. He is not worthy of your affection."

"Because she deserves it."

That she is she, not him, but no one knows this secret.

Xiao Jingshen's secret was hard to tell, but she finally had a chance to tell her, and she had nothing.

She only married to accompany her, protect her, and avenge her.

"You! You are just a fool."

Yue Ya sighed, raised the wine in the flask and drank it all in one gulp.

The two of them sat opposite each other like this, one of them's eyes full of emotion but extremely sad.

She was so full of sorrow that she couldn't breathe under the pressure of the Yue family, Xiao family and her future life.

Tao Yueru smiled and said: "Yueya, I have a secret that I can't tell you. It has been hidden in my heart for more than ten years."

Drowsily, Yue Ya smiled and said, "What secret? I'll share it for you."

Seeing her drunken state and her eyes squinting as she prepared to fall asleep, she smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, the person I like is not Xiao Jingyan."

"Oh!" She closed her eyes completely and fell asleep on her lap.

There was a smile on Tao Yueru's bright face, and her eyes were full of affection, "Actually, the person I like is someone you would never expect."

The next day, the sun was shining brightly, and Yue Ya woke up from bed with a severe headache.

The sunshine filled the whole house, making it warm.
