The sparrows under the corridor jumped up and down, showing joy. The green-clothed people who were originally sitting in the corridor felt their hearts sinking straight down.

  Song Chuyi had just returned to her room in silence, this was something that had never happened before for Hongyu and herself, the green-clothed one knew that Song Chuyi was usually tolerant to the point of making them feel uneasy.

  Even if Hongyu had made such a big mistake, Song Chuyi only said two words to her, she didn't know how Hongyu got into Song Chuyi's line of fire this time, and was both perplexed and worried.

  Qingtao quietly opened the door and came out, seeing her like this knew she had been waiting for him for a long time. At this point, he didn't dare to play dumb anymore, and told her everything one by one.

  Finally, Qing Tao couldn't help but speak up for Song Chuyi: "Although Eighth Miss is young, she's not one bit less cunning than those madams and ladies. Previously, the fire at our young master's residence was related to her, let alone the fact that Hong Yu personally experienced Eighth Miss ordering someone to send clothes to her mother, leading to her suicide. We can't even protect ourselves from Eighth Miss yet, but she still insists on getting close to her. The miss only said a couple of words to her, and this time she really broke the miss's heart."

  Lu Yi thought of Hong Yu's timid and hesitant attitude last night, her heart had already cooled down halfway. After listening to Qing Tao's words, she suddenly stood up with a "ding" sound.

  Since she was a child, her mother had always told her to take good care of Song Chuyi, so in an instant, she felt a surge of anger and disappointment at being betrayed from the bottom of her heart.

  It's already hard for me, let alone Song Chuyi who has always treated them as sisters?

  "Miss, when was it discovered?" The green-clad man's voice had a slight tremble, with a hint of imperceptible anger: "Was it discovered last night?"

  "It was only discovered this morning. Hongyu was careless while combing the young lady's hair and dropped the comb, and it wasn't until the young lady asked that she found out she had actually gone to Eighth Miss's place, and what's more, she even begged for mercy on behalf of Eighth Miss." Qingtao glanced at Lüyi, feeling a bit uneasy: "Let's hope our young lady doesn't push things too far."

  How infuriating! Green Clothes was so angry that she wished she could scold Red Jade loudly and wake her up.

  Qing Tao looked at her, her whole body tense like a fully drawn bow. Her tone gradually softened: "Miss didn't say anything to her, just told her to go back to her room and rest, and asked me to arrange for Granny Xu to take her to your mother's place to stay for a while. Who knew that as soon as we returned from Old Lady's room, we heard Second Master saying that Hong Yu was at Eighth Miss's place again."

  Just as they were talking, a flash of lake green clothes appeared at the gate, and Hongyu hastily followed and stepped over the threshold.

  Lu Ying's heart was filled with anger and hatred, angry that Hong Yu's mind wasn't clear-headed and hated her for being unreasonable. With a stomp of her foot, she coldly smiled at her: "Oh, you still know how to come back? I thought you'd decided to stay at Eighth Miss's place permanently. Probably because our humble abode isn't grand enough for a great Buddha like yourself."

  Lu Ying had never spoken to herself in such a tone before, Hong Yu's footsteps paused, and Qing Tao beside her couldn't help but take a step back, hanging his head without saying a word.

  The green-clothed man's anger flared up even more, and he hastily took a few steps forward, his fingers almost poking into her head. He couldn't help but burst out in a loud scolding: "Are you stupid?! Do you know who she is and yet still dare to enter her room?! Are you determined to harm Miss until you're satisfied?!"

  Hongyu was poked and retreated a bit, biting her lip in discontent. Her two eyes stared at the green-clothed woman, and after half a moment, she couldn't help but retort: "If Miss doesn't harm her then..."

  The green-clad woman was almost unbelievable, her eyes wide with wonder, and he really wanted to give her a slap in the face to wake her up.

  Qing Tao was thoroughly chilled to the heart, grabbed Lu Yi and didn't even look at Hong Yu, coldly pointing inside: "Miss said if you come back, go in, she has something to say to you." After that, he pulled Lu Yi aside, as if Hong Yu didn't exist.

  How can this be said, people's hearts are separated by a belly, who knows that the red jade that has always been thought to be loyal, in just a few short days, actually changed his mind, and even felt that Song Chuyi was pressing him relentlessly.

  The green-clad man's eyes turned red with rage, and he gritted his teeth, cursing: "Hong Yu, you're ungrateful and disloyal to your master, you're not human!"

  Hong Yu ignored her and went into Song Chuyi's room with her head down.

  Although she still has some palpitations, her sense of justice and righteousness prevails, so she isn't very afraid. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Song Chuyi and Zi Yun by her side, but her expression didn't change.

  Song Chuyi's tone was still calm, and she didn't jump up and down like thunder. She even pointed to the chair next to her and asked Hongyu to sit: "Did you go to Eighth Miss's place?"

  To this day, she still holds a faint glimmer of hope for Hongyu. Her previous life was too miserable, and she owed too many people apologies. In her heart, she always felt a twinge of guilt towards those maidens who suffered because of her. Perhaps that's why Red Jade was spoiled by her to the point of having no boundaries.

  Hong Yu nodded with a stubborn expression, saying something that made Zi Yun want to go forward and open her head to see if she had any brains.

  "Yes, Miss Eighth is afraid that I will be punished because of last night's events, so she specifically called me over to ask about it." Hongyu pursed her lips and didn't think she was in the wrong, instead feeling that Song Chuyi's heart was too hard: "Miss, aren't you trying to get rid of me?"

  She seemed to still have a lot of grievances.

  All the words Song Chuyi had prepared were instantly turned to nothing when she misjudged someone, blinded by her own eyes, and kept this ungrateful wolf by her side for so long.

  "What did she say to you?" Song Chuyi closed her eyes to calm the anger in her heart, and when she opened them again, she was as calm as water: "Tell me the truth."

  Hongyu has been by her side for so long, and even Tongzhou followed suit. The things she knew were too numerous to count. And these things, as soon as Song Chuning found out about them, no matter how few, would be a disaster of no small proportions.

  Hong Yu hung her head and didn't say a word, with an expression of refusing to speak even if it meant death.

  Song Chuning is already at an age where she's no longer favored in the manor, and if she were to tell Miss about what happened with Song Chuning, Miss would definitely not let Eighth Miss off.

  Song Chuyi finally let out a cold laugh, feeling a chill run down her heart.

  "I originally planned to send you to the Zhuangzi at Tongzhou Xu's mother's place." Song Chuyi looked at Hongyu, and there was no longer any ripples in his eyes: "But now it seems that you are not suitable for that place. You pack your things and go back to the Cui family instead."
