(Lian Hao) Lian Hao and the two young servants by his side, under Ming Yu's lead, were getting further and further away from the direction of the Young Master's residence, and instead seemed to be heading towards the Wang Fu's usual leisure courtyard. Lian Hao gave a glance to the two young servants behind him, and one of them quickly approached Ming Yu, smiling and asking: "Ming Yu, where are you taking the master?" Ming Yu turned her head to look at Lian Hao, smiling and saying: "Sir, I just remembered that the Idle Garden's peonies have bloomed, and I thought I'd take a detour to bring you to see the flowers first. I was too excited and forgot to tell you first."

  Lian Hao gave her a glance but didn't say anything. The young servant immediately turned cold and said to Ming Yu, "Ming Yu, you're also an old hand in the courtyard, so it's better not to take matters into your own hands like this. Master can go see the flowers whenever he wants. Let's turn back now, Master has important business later." Ming Yu glanced at Lian Hao who had stopped in his tracks, and a look of urgency flashed across her eyes as she hastily spoke up, "Master, the flowers are blooming perfectly right now, it's the most beautiful time to see them. You can just go take a look, we'll be turning the corner soon."

  Lian Hao nodded slightly after hearing, and he signaled the little servant who was blocking Ming Yu's path to retreat behind him. Ming Yu happily turned her head and walked forward, not noticing Lian Hao making a gesture to the two little servants behind her back. Ming Yu excitedly forgot that Lian Hao hated it when others took liberties on his behalf. Ming Yu also didn't notice that as she walked further ahead, Lian Hao's expression became increasingly indifferent. The two little servants gazed at Ming Yu's direction, their eyes filled with deep sighs. When the road turned a corner, the tall little servant suddenly quickened his pace, rushing past Ming Yu by several meters, eliciting a soft protest from her.

  That little servant heard Ming Yu's words, stopped in his tracks and looked around for a while, then quickly turned back. Ming Yu watched him return with an unhappy expression on his face. She was thinking of scolding him, but saw that he had a displeased look on his face as he approached. At the same time, she thought to herself, they were all close attendants by their master's side. She was even closer to the master than he was. How could this person be so foolish, passing her by and walking ahead, now even making a face at her? Ming Yu thought of turning back to report him to Lian Hua. But that person had already walked up to her.

  Ming Yu thought for a moment and decided to remind him again, so as not to offend him, but also to make him remember the favor he owed her. Just then, she saw the young servant take out a handkerchief from his pocket and hold it in his hand. Under Ming Yu's astonished gaze, he approached her and directly covered her mouth with the handkerchief. His other hand simultaneously twisted her two struggling hands. He dragged her quickly towards the turning point. Lian Hao and another servant were standing there, and when he saw Ming Yu in the young servant's arms, his eyes became gloomy, with a clear anger in them.

  Lian Hao turned around and walked, choosing a relatively quiet path until he reached a small trail hidden behind a tall flower cluster. Lian Hao stopped in his tracks and looked back at Ming Yu, who had a wronged expression with tears in her eyes. He asked Gao Da Xiao Shuai, "Lian Xi, what did you see just now?" The two young servants tightened their grip on Ming Yu's hands as she struggled again. Lian Xi, the scout, said, "There is only Yun Xiaojie and her two maids inside the pavilion. I carefully looked around and didn't see any sign of Yun Dashi or anyone else."

  Ming Yu's body, which had been struggling, suddenly went limp upon hearing these words. The two young servants lifted her up directly from the ground. Lian Hao didn't even bother to glance at her again, and instead spoke with a cold smile: "Tie up her hands, Lian Xi you take her to the princess's courtyard, hand her over to the person in charge of the princess's courtyard, and tell them all about this matter in detail. Let the princess deal with her." The two young servants exchanged a look, then twisted Ming Yu's arms behind her back and tied them together. Lian Xi took over this unpleasant task, using force to drag Ming Yu away.

  Ming Yu dragged her along, still twisting her head, wanting to go and see Lian Hua. Lian Xi gave her a hard time on this road. When she got tired of dragging her, she kicked her with force and scolded in a low voice: "You still have the face to look at Master, a woman gives you a few things, and you sell Master out easily. Don't say you're thinking for Master's sake, even if Yun Zhongjiao is good, she's not better than Princess Ya Zheng. Besides, what are you, following outsiders to plot against your own master? Master is kind-hearted, remembering the years of service you've rendered, and hasn't ordered you to be killed."

  You'd better grow some eyes in the future, those young ladies won't be as easy to talk to as the third young mistress now. You see through things clearly, you're just a clever person, not stupid enough to rush up and stick to it. These years have been too good for you, forgetting that masters are masters, servants are servants, and servants shouldn't think too much. I'm also looking at everyone recognizing each other for so many years, reminding you of a few sentences." Mingyu heard these words and lowered her head, with big tears falling from her eyes, her legs had no strength and went limp.

  Lian Hao, accompanied by Lian Gao, quickly walked out of the small path and rushed to the study. From a distance, he saw the people waiting outside the young master's study, slowed down his pace, and revealed a few smiles on his face. When Lian Hao arrived at the study, he heard the voices inside, turned his head to tell Lian Gao: "You wait outside, I'll call for Lian Xi later, let him wait first." Lian Gao nodded and stood outside the study, while Lian Hao pushed open the door with his hand, calling out: "Big brother, I'm coming in."

  Inside the study, Lian Ao smiled wryly at the man in the room and said: "My little brother has spoiled everyone, he always enters my study by pushing the door open directly." Lian Hao opened the door to the study just in time to hear Lian Ao's words. He smiled and greeted the people in the room: "Hello, big brother, hello, Yun." Then, without waiting for Lian Ao's invitation, he sat down opposite the guest and smiled at the man wearing a dark blue satin robe, saying: "Brother Yun, I've been waiting for an opportunity to see you again. Please teach me something this time."

  Lian Ang glanced at the guest, smiled and said: "Yun brother, my younger brother is interested in the tactics of military strategy, you are an expert in this area, please teach him a thing or two." The man in blue clothes smiled and shook his head slightly, took out a book from his pocket and put it in front of Lian Ang, saying: "Young master, I don't deserve your praise. What I understand is just empty talk on paper, when it comes to making important decisions, I don't have that kind of decisive mind. This military book was obtained by chance, now I give it to someone who can use it."

  Lian Ang listened to his words, gazing at the yellowed pages on the table, then looked up at the elegant and refined man in front of him. He knew that this man, with a temperament too gentle, was coincidentally his master, who was well-versed in various military strategies and tactics. The book he took out must be extremely useful. Smiling, he nodded to Lian Hua and said: "You should thank Yun Xiong quickly, take good care of the book. If you don't understand something, since Yun Xiong will be staying in the capital for a few more days, you can go visit him for guidance."

  Lian Hao listened to Lian Ang's words and stood up, respectfully bowing to the person who gave him the book and saying: "Thank you, Brother Yun, for your book. A gentleman does not take away what others love. I will carefully copy this book and return the original to you." The man with the surname Yun heard Lian Hao's words and looked at him with a different intention, then turned his head and smiled as he said to Lian Ang: "My thirteenth younger sister often praises Third Master at home, but in our previous meetings, I didn't have the chance to take a good look at Third Master. This time, seeing him again, I think he indeed lives up to her words."

  His eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes as he listened to the speaker's words. He smiled and said: "Thank you, Cloud Miss, for your kind words about me. I've met her a few times by chance in the courtyard, each time with some people accompanying her, and apart from exchanging greetings, it's rare to say another word. However, I think Cloud Miss is a woman of great demeanor, and such a good woman usually gets engaged early on. When she gets married, if I'm not busy, I'll go congratulate her in person, and I'll ask Big Brother to help me send a gift."

  Lian Ang and Yun exchanged a look, and Yun smiled and said: "The marriage of the 13th younger sister, her parents will take care of it. I've been away from home for many years and rarely pay attention to this aspect. However, thank you for your kind intentions, I will pass them on to my uncle, aunt, and younger sister." Lian Hao shook his head slightly at Lian Ang who was about to speak, and Lian Ang smiled and said: "Brother Yun, he deliberately says this in front of you, reminding me that in the future when there are happy events in our relatives' and friends' families, when he is busy, I will have to take care of his gifts."

  Lian Hao laughed out loud and said with a hint of complaint, "Big brother, when I was young, we agreed that our parents would raise me when I was young, and you would raise me when I grew up. This family affair is my responsibility, so it's only right that you take care of it." Lian Ang laughed loudly and said, "Alright, I'll raise you until your son grows up, then he can take over raising you." The brothers had been teasing each other since they were young, and the closeness between them made the man in blue clothes feel envious. He and his own younger brother had never had such a carefree relationship when they grew up.

  That day, bursts of laughter came from the study. After a long while, the laughter stopped, and after the guest left, only Lian Ang and Lian Hao were left in the study. Lian Ang looked at Lian Hao and asked: "What's wrong with Miss Yun?" Lian Hao heard Lian Kun's words and let out a sigh of relief, saying to Lian Ang: "Big brother, the Yun family only has this Mr. Yun, I think he's quite all right. Although he's too steady and seems a bit dull, but overall better than others in the Yun family. The people in the Yun family are not as good at eating, drinking, and having fun, nor are they as good at scheming."

  Miss Yun used the people around me to plot against me and secretly meet with her. She thought that if she succeeded, I would have to acknowledge it. Humph, fortunately, we were in the Wang mansion, otherwise, according to my temper, I wouldn't let her have a good outcome. This time, considering Eldest Sister's face, I'll just let it go. It's also a good opportunity to get rid of an insolent servant and make things quieter around me. As for Mother, I think she will also give up on Miss Yun after hearing about this matter."

  Lian Ang's expression turned serious, and he sighed to Lian Hao: "Her family, under the pretext of taking care of your sister-in-law, sent her into the mansion. Your sister-in-law thought it was just a courtesy visit from relatives and would only stay for a short while, so she couldn't openly refuse this kindness. Later, when she stayed in the Wang Mansion for a long time, your sister-in-law could only occasionally remind her to return home early, but she pretended not to understand. Moreover, Mother seemed to take a liking to her for some reason, so your sister-in-law didn't dare say much. Seeing that she was still somewhat decent on the surface, they could only treat her as an extra idle guest in the mansion."

  "Earlier, after she returned home, your sister-in-law let out a sigh of relief. Before long, she came to our door again under the pretext of visiting your sister-in-law, and we didn't expect her to be so cunning in private. Mother wanted to find you a daughter from a prestigious family, but for now, it's just an idea. This hasn't even left a shadow, yet she herself is putting on a show."
