The legitimate daughter who had recovered from her illness brought joy to the entire Zhengguo Mansion, and it seemed like a celebration was about to take place.
"Xiaojin, can I go and see my sister?" Bian Yayun asked with a smile. Xiaojin shook her head busily, "Second Miss, Madam is currently accompanying Miss, it's not very convenient."
"Not convenient? " Bian Yayun narrowed her eyes and casually handed a string of copper coins to Xiaojin, "Alright, I'll wait until my sister takes a nap before I come to see her. You must take good care of her."
Xiaojin blushed with embarrassment. Every time this illegitimate young lady came, she would give her a large sum of money, always discreetly, and over time, Xiaojin had become somewhat timid. If others found out, they might think she was being disloyal to her sister, only obeying the Second Miss. It would be difficult for her to explain.
"I dare not." Xiaojin tried to return the coins, but Bian Yayun stopped her, "Don't refuse, this is what you deserve. Take good care of my sister, and you will receive even more in the future."
Seeing that Bian Yayun was genuinely concerned for her sister, Xiaojin could only accept the coins with a sense of unease.
"I'm going back. If my sister asks, just tell her I've been here." Bian Yayun was confident that Xiaojin would speak well of her.
She who eats someone's mouth soft, takes someone's hand short.
This foolish servant girl Xiaojin had long been bought by her, yet she still pretended to be loyal. It was quite amusing.
As Bian Yayun walked back, she became increasingly smug, thinking about how to enjoy the prosperity of the Zhengguo Mansion and win the favor of the old lady, so she wouldn't end up like the legitimate wife and daughter, who only valued their own status and didn't know how to please the old lady, and would eventually suffer.
"Miss, that's where the young lady fell into the water. We shouldn't go there again." The maid beside Bian Yayun advised, but she was rebuffed, "That's exactly why we should go back. My sister is always careful, how could she have fallen into the water for no reason? I must investigate before I can rest assured."
She was just saying it for fun, not like Detective Conan, who could find clues with just a "ding" of his glasses.
However, there were few people here.
The garden was quiet, and since Bian Yayun fell into the water, no one had come here. Yet she earnestly walked around, trying to recall... the contents of the book.
Yes, for her, this place was like a "book".
This unlucky person, who would even get a toothpick stuck in her teeth when drinking cold water, had inexplicably transmigrated into a romance novel when she reached the end.
If only she had carefully read the beginning again and remembered every detail before reading the ending.
Bian Yayun absentmindedly picked up a leaf and twisted it in her hand.
Whenever she thought about her past, her heart felt tangled.
In her original world, she didn't live well either. Her family was poor, and she had no skills. Whenever she had a chance, she always missed it for various reasons, watching her time slip away.
In this new world, things weren't necessarily better. Everyone had to follow the rules of the mansion, but she didn't know what rules there were in a big family, so she had to figure it out step by step.
But she had a sweet tongue and could please people. Even the troublesome old lady of the mansion was placated by her, let alone the incompetent Bian Yalan.
"Miss, it's cool here. Let's go back." The maid beside her advised, "The young lady will worry about you being so busy."
Yes, the best person to her was this good sister, because of her somewhat strong-willed nature, her mother couldn't bear a son, and the old lady didn't favor her.
Unfortunately, her mother came from a good background, and she was the legitimate daughter, so the master of the mansion favored them, allowing them to stand firm in the mansion.
"You don't understand." Bian Yayun scoffed, "It's because my sister cares for me that I must thoroughly investigate this place. I want to know what kind of ability this place has to lure my sister into the water. I don't know what kind of people you all are, slacking off whenever you can."
Bian Yayun believed that with a rough understanding of the plot of the book, she could control the situation in this world. Her good sister was going to marry the Prince, and they would live a happy life, and she might even become the queen in the future.
The grand finale of the story was the Prince leading his men to the palace, making the throne easily attainable. By befriending her sister, she could have a good life.
The maid's legs went weak at the thought and she almost knelt down.
Bian Yayun scolded, "Your knees are so weak, you kneel whenever I say something."
She couldn't stand the people here, always bursting into tears at the slightest provocation.
"Second Miss!" Xiaojin ran over from a distance and bowed to Bian Yayun, "The young lady is currently enjoying sweet porridge and thinking about Second Miss."
Bian Yayun smiled brightly, "Good girl, I'll go over now."
Look, how accurate the silver makes her.
As Bian Yayun walked towards her sister's courtyard, she was stopped at the gate.
"The young lady asked Second Miss to come over." Xiaojin explained to the old nanny, who looked embarrassed, "I don't know either. The young lady sent food to Second Miss's room, saying that she's been unwell these days and doesn't need to come and pay her respects."
What? Bian Yayun narrowed her eyes, carefully considering who might have slandered her sister and looked down on the illegitimate daughter.
In any case, she had to enter this gate.
