Chapter 5: She Spoiled

The withered leaves twirled and fell onto the body of Bian Yayun, hanging on her deep red silk skirt, looking so fragile.

"Miss Er, why don't we go back first?" Li Mama, who came out of the house, bent her knees to Bian Yayun, "Miss Er needs to rest."

Bian Yayun waited for a long time, unable to bear it, and said angrily, "Rest? You servants must have badmouthed me in front of my sister, that's why she refuses to see me."

Li Mama always looked down on her as an illegitimate daughter, and she often bossed around the maids around her, making Bian Yayun grit her teeth in anger.

Fortunately, she had a protective older sister, so she didn't have to endure it.

Bian Yayun glared at her fiercely and was about to go inside.

"Just having good intentions is enough, but being considerate in everything doesn't necessarily mean it's good!" Li Mama blocked Bian Yayun and said without hesitation.

Bian Yayun immediately glared at her, raised her hand and slapped Li Mama, "You lowly servant, is that something you should say?"

Li Mama staggered and hit the pillar, but was quickly supported by a few maids.

"You arrogant wretch." Bian Yayun raised her foot to kick Li Mama to vent her anger.

The door curtain suddenly opened, and Xiao Jin, with a swollen face, came out to rescue Li Mama.

"Miss Er, it's too noisy outside for Miss to rest." Xiao Jin hurriedly intervened, signaling desperately to Bian Yayun, "Miss Er, please go back inside!"

"Noisy?" Bian Yayun smirked, "Then my sister must not have fallen asleep! Let them talk nonsense!"

She completely ignored Xiao Jin's hint and, disregarding the obstruction, turned to enter the room.

"Sister, I've come to greet you. How are you feeling?" Bian Yayun said with a smile, looking at Bian Yalan, who was pale and resting with closed eyes.

Such arrogance. What's so great about being the legitimate daughter? In the future, she will be the one in the high position.

"Outrageous!" Bian Yalan frowned and scolded, "So disrespectful, don't you understand the rules? I told you not to come in, yet you forced your way in?"

Rules? Bian Yayun felt embarrassed. How could she understand these things? Having read novels, she only knew about bowing and greeting.

"Being so disrespectful is fine within the mansion, but wouldn't it be embarrassing if seen outside? If you marry in the future, wouldn't it disgrace the Bian family? If you don't understand, you should ask. Do you want to rely on others for everything in the future?" Bian Yalan furrowed her brow and spoke harshly, "You're not a child anymore. You can't keep acting recklessly, can you?"

Bian Yayun lowered her head, silent, as if frightened, and faintly shed tears. In fact, she had already cursed Bian Yalan in her heart, feeling deeply aggrieved.

"Enough, come here!" Seeing her sister obedient, Bian Yalan softened her tone, "I just want you to understand some things and not lower your status."

"I understand, sister." Bian Yayun pretended to wipe her tears and sat by the bed, holding Bian Yalan's hand, and blurted out, "Sister, take care. I will help you catch the culprit."

Huh? She blurted out such earth-shattering words. Bian Yalan had long forgotten the incident before falling into the water, as it was already a distant memory for her.

"Sister... why do you say that?" Bian Yalan mysteriously held Bian Yayun's hand, "Did you hear something?"

Oops! Bian Yayun's heart skipped a beat. She had only wanted to please, but she ended up spoiling the plot!

She didn't remember the details, only that someone framed Bian Yalan and pushed her into the pond, but she didn't recall what happened afterward.

"I... " Bian Yayun hesitated, as if hiding a secret.

"If you feel something is amiss, I'll send someone to investigate," Bian Yalan released Bian Yayun's hand and leaned back on the pillow, casually saying, "I was just thinking about the embroidery you did, I liked it. Can I trouble you to do a few more for me?"

"Sister likes it?" Bian Yayun asked, trying to appear calm. She barely knew how to do "embroidery."

Ancient people are really troublesome.

Bian Yalan nodded, "Is it convenient for you?"

"Of course, it is." Bian Yayun forced a smile, "Sister likes it, so I'm willing to do anything."

Her mind was in chaos. How could she embroider the pattern? Beads of sweat formed on Bian Yayun's forehead, as if a disaster was looming.

"Are you feeling unwell, sister?" Bian Yalan picked up a snow-white handkerchief from the pillow and gently wiped Bian Yayun's forehead, "You've been taking care of me for several days, are you tired?"

"I'm not tired!" Bian Yayun immediately snapped back to reality. When she took the handkerchief, she met Bian Yalan's eyes and couldn't help but shiver. How could the usually gentle Bian Yalan exude such a cold aura?

Bian Yalan leaned back on the pillow again, "I'm tired. Come and keep me company later, sister."

"Okay!" Bian Yayun couldn't stay any longer and quickly left the room.

Her steps were unsteady, truly frightened by the "embroidery."

Xiao Jin came forward to tuck in Bian Yalan, not daring to look up.

"Miss!" Li Mama returned with a tray of assorted pastries, circled around to Bian Yalan, and seeing Xiao Jin's swollen face, she scolded, "What are you standing there for? You brainless fool, the teapot is empty. Why haven't you boiled water yet?"

Xiao Jin hurriedly ran out in a panic.

Bian Yalan picked up a piece of pastry and chewed it slowly.

Bian Yayun's reaction was just as she expected. With her sister's temperament, she would definitely beg for forgiveness, especially for doing such delicate handiwork.

Just now, Bian Yayun was clearly reluctant and uneasy, but she still reluctantly agreed to her request.

This sister must be fake. When did she take over her sister's body? Could it be a demon?

"Do you think Miss Er is acting strange?" Li Mama, being an old servant in the mansion, was shrewd and could see through the younger generation. Bian Yalan smiled without confirming, "Indeed strange, so I need to figure out what's wrong to put my mind at ease."

The young ladies in the mansion must not be too kind-hearted; they must keep their guard up.
