Not long after Liu Ruoye left, Wei Changjuan was upset. When she suddenly realized that someone came and sat down beside her, she thought Liu Ruoye had come back. So she turned her head and said, "Sister Liu..."

Yet, she only saw the rise of the turmeric gauze embroidered with peony leaves, and a pretty face was revealed when it fell. Min Yinuo smiled and said, "The Seventh sister of the Wei Family, are you waiting for Sister Ruoye?"

"Sister Min." Seeing that it was her, Wei Changjuan hurriedly got up and said, "Why do you come over here? I'm really sorry. I didn't see it clearly just now. I thought Sister Liu was back."

Min Yinuo smiled and said, "Sister Ruoyu accidentally spilled wine on her, and she asked Sister Ruoye to accompany her to the back to change her clothes. I think it will take a while for her to come here. Sister Ruoye probably will not be able to come at the exact proper moment as the same as just now when she reminded Sister Ruoyu not to drink so many cold drinks. So if you are waiting for her, you will still have to wait for a while."

Wei Changjuan was stunned and understood that Min Yinuo meant something else. So she lowered her voice and asked, "Sister Min, what do you mean by this?"

"My seat is not on this side. So when I heard the noise, I sent the maid to have a look." Min Yinuo did not talk in a roundabout way with her and said directly, "I also know a little bit about what happened. At first, you were with Sister Ruoye. And later, when sister Ruoye went to remind sister Ruoyu, you went to talk to your third cousin... And then there was a conflict, wasn't it?"

Wei Changjuan was very familiar with her, so she didn't hide from her and said, "The thing is, my third cousin, she..."

Min Yinuo interrupted her words and said, "If I'm right, what you said to your third cousin had something to do with Sister Ruoye?"

"Sister Min?" Wei Changjuan was stunned.

Min Yinuo said calmly, "What happened in Ruiyu Hall is not a secret. This is supposed to be a matter for your family, the seventh sister of the Wei Family. I really shouldn't talk too much. But we have known each other for a long time. Even if you will blame me today, I still want to talk about this matter. The disagreement between your father and your grandmother is always a matter for the elders. Since your third cousin married to the capital, while she didn't contact you a lot, she never bullied you because your grandmother doted her. It can be seen that she is not a troublemaker. If this is the case, it's not proper for you to provoke her first when you are angry. How can Ruoye, such a smart person, not understand this? Sister, don't be misled by her!"

Wei Changjuan frowned and whispered, "Sister, since you said this, I also have to say that I don't like what you just said! My eldest uncle was congenitally deficient and could not take on the responsibility of the family. Yet, this was not caused by my father. My grandmother is taking advantage of my father yet treating the second branch as thieves. It can be said that there is no gratitude at all! My cousin, Changfeng, though I have never met him before, how old is he now? Even if he is so talented, he has not been honed after all. How can he take the responsibility for the rise and fall of a family? Because he is the lineal child, my grandmother is biased in every way and treats us, the second branch, like enemies. But what have we the second branch done wrong?"

"It doesn't matter if you say this to me. But you're going to be scolded if you talk like this outside." Min Yinuo pointed to her lips and said, "As long as your father has to call your grandmother as 'Mother', you can never mention the gratitude! What's more, no matter how you think about this, your grandmother is still alive and is always the elder in the family! If your resentment is heard by your grandmother, will she think that you are the only one who thinks like this? She must feel that you are influenced by others. How would she think of your family? Is it good for your father?"

Wei Changjuan was surprised and said subconsciously, "She asked my third brother to go back last year. Does she want to ask all of us to go back this year?"

Min Yinuo said, "I don't know about this. It's just that from my point of view, your father, your mother, and your brother have always respected Fengzhou very much. It is said that there is no shortage of gifts and greetings from your family to Fengzhou during New Year's ceremonies. Even your father, your mother, and your brother are like this, how unwise is it for you to disrespect your grandmother's only lineal granddaughter and also your younger cousin here?"

Wei Changjuan bit her lip and said, "There is a reason for today's matter. Sister, you don't know. My eldest sister was childless for two years after she got married, and nothing could be diagnosed even after seeing the doctor. Her mother-in-law was not happy about this, and we thought of Mrs. Huang, who was one of the Grannies that accompanied the third cousin to marry here. She once followed Ji Qubing to learn medical skills. We wanted to ask her to help see what was going on with my eldest sister. However, Mrs. Huang resented that my eldest sister had reprimanded her for being impolite to her. She first evaded with the reason that she was not good at medical skills and dared not to diagnose the eldest sister. It was not until my mother gave her a set of jewelry that she reluctantly agreed to diagnose my eldest sister."

She sneered and said, "What's more, as soon as Mrs. Huang felt my eldest sister's pulse, she was surprised and said that my eldest sister had difficulty in giving birth and that she might have no hope of having an heir in her life. Later, this word spread to my eldest sister's husband's family. My eldest sister's mother-in-law gave four concubines directly to my brother-in-law! Then, after my eldest brother-in-law took the concubine, Mrs. Huang went to tell my mother that she might have made a wrong diagnosis that day. She later went to consult Miracle Doctor Ji. He thought that my eldest sister was not necessarily difficult to give birth but only needed recuperation. But sister, you also know Mrs. Huang. How could my mother rest assured if she took care of my eldest sister? Later, we sought the imperial doctor from the Imperial Hospital. But there was no effect for a long time. And my mother paid a lot of money to invite the Eighth Miss of the Duanmu Family. Unexpectedly, she rejected all the gifts from my mother, but only asked people to send the word saying that since my mother and eldest sister do not believe in the medical skills of Ji Qubing, and she is the only disciple of Ji Qubing, how would she dare to treat my eldest sister? Sister, don't you think that it is clear that Mrs. Huang instigated in between?"

Min Yinuo knew that Wei Changwan had no children so far, but she had raised several children who were born by concubines. Yet she did not know that Wei Changwan had been defrauded by Mrs. Huang. She thought for a while. When she was about to say something, Wei Changjuan continued, "But this time, the dowry guard of my third cousin was seriously injured because he collided with the ceremonial match of the Crown Prince. I would say that for such a careless guard, it would be nice for him to die! Yet the third cousin not only asked the Eighth Miss of the Duanmu Family to give him medical treatment but also personally sent him to the Ji Family for medical treatment. She treated a bodyguard more important than her own sister... The eldest sister hasn't had a child all these years, yet she had never asked about this. Sister Min, for such a person, why should I treat her like my sister?"

"What the seventh sister said will make your cousin feel wronged when she hears it." Min Yinuo shook her head and said, "Your cousin has just arrived in the capital. She may not know about this old story. As far as I'm concerned since your cousin can ask Miracle Doctor Ji to diagnose for others, why don't you tell her about this? Wouldn't it be good if Miracle Doctor Ji would give medical treatment to your eldest sister so that she can give birth to lineal children?"

Wei Changjuan hummed, "That Mrs. Huang is our grandmother's trusted subordinate. The third cousin is raised by the grandmother herself. Are they not single-minded and looking forward to seeing our family's bad life? If the third cousin asked Mrs. Huang to ask Ji Qubing to diagnose the eldest sister, God knows whether she wants to cure the eldest sister or to do more harm to her?"

She said with hatred, "So the more I thought about it, the unhappier I became. But I forgot that today was not the right day to talk about this. I didn't think carefully enough, and she may not have such good luck next time."

Seeing that she still had the intention of continuing to go against Wei Changying, Min Yinuo reminded her, "Do you forget what I just said to you? You disgraced her today. When she wrote back to Fengzhou, how could your grandmother not reprimand your parents for her since she loved her so much? In that way, your grandfather will also think that you disrespect your cousin, won't you be more of a hindrance than a help for your father?"

With a bitter face, Wei Changjuan said, "Oh, that's also what Sister Liu just said. It's just that I'm young and ill-conceived. What can I do now? I was going to wait for Sister Liu to come back and give me some advice. Now that Sister Min is here, why doesn’t Sister Min help me think about this?"

"The seventh sister of the Wei Family, I'm afraid she's waiting for you to go back and give her good advice, right?" In the room in the rear courtyard of the Su Family that was specially cleaned up for the wedding banquet for female guests to freshen up and change their clothes, Liu Ruoyu washed her face. Her plain face without makeup was so white that she looked a little morbid. But she was plumper and more smooth-skinned than she had been a few months ago. She was obviously in better health, so she gradually became full of spirit.

She took a look at herself in the mirror, slowly took the eyebrow conch from the maid's hand, and drew her eyebrow. She kept looking into the mirror and said.

Liu Ruoye stood by her make-up table and said faintly when she heard this, "My Tenth sister, what are you talking about?"

"Why are you pretending to be confused?" Liu Ruoyu was very skillful in drawing her eyebrows. She finished it with one movement and she said carelessly, "You are still the same. Before Wei Changying arrived here, you took the matter of Wei Changwan to provoke Wei Changjuan's dissatisfaction with Wei Changying. Even I have heard of the fact that Wei Changying smashed open the door of the Ji Family for her guard Jiang Zheng. Let alone you? And then you casually grabbed some pain point of Wei Changying... He who has a mind to beat his dog will easily find his stick. I am afraid that your mother and you were reincarnated with this skill in a previous life. When Wei Changjuan thought that she had found Wei Changying's mistake, you found a reason to leave first and let Wei Changjuan have the conflict with Wei Changying. No matter either of the two sisters wins, it will be a good thing for you."

Liu Ruoye first praised her, "The eyebrows drawn by the tenth sister are really good." And then she smiled and said, "What the tenth sister said is ridiculous. I have no grudges with the sisters of the Wei Family. Why would I mess up their relationships?"

Liu Ruoyu also first replied that she praised her good eyebrow drawing, "In the past, the servants that Zhang Shaoguang gave me were not willing to do anything except my wet nurse, Granny Lu. At that time, I was cowardly and dared not control them, so I could only do everything myself. How clever Zhang Shaoguang was! As for this eyebrow conch, she nominally gave it to me, and then she let the maid take it away so that she got all the praise! Speaking of which I have been using the copper eyebrow pencil for several years, apart from going to visit the seventh sister, I am only able to use this eyebrow conch this year. When I used the copper eyebrow pencil, I could draw my eyebrows well, not to mention this eyebrow conch which is so expensive!"

Zhang Shaoguang was Liu Ruoye's mother and Liu Ruoyu's stepmother. Now, when Liu Ruoyu had no respect for her, Liu Ruoye was not angry. She only smiled and said, "But what can I do about it? The tenth sister, you said that it was because you used to be cowardly. Our mother gave things to your maidservants according to the rules, but you couldn't manage them well. And you didn't talk to our mother. Even if we talk about this matter before our father, you are also too stupid, aren't you?"

Liu Ruoyu said faintly, "That's right, isn't it? These days, I always think of the past, and I wish I could slap myself in the face. How could I be so stupid? For example, when Ruowo was playing by the pool that year, I watched him for a long time and wanted to push him down. But I only thought about that. If he had been killed earlier, our father would have taken a concubine again for the sake of his heirs. In that way, Zhang Shaoguang may not have such a good day as she is now."

"What the tenth sister said is to compare my sister's dead mother to my mother." Liu Ruoye smiled and said, "My mother is only a daughter of the concubine, but now she is sitting in your mother's position, and even you have been in the palm of her hand all these years! Yet, your mother is your father's first wife! Then, what about a mere concubine? If it is not the case that the people in the clan want to join hands with the Empress so that they need a lineal daughter with enough dignity to be the Crown Princess, Sister, how could you be so arrogant in front of me now? But think about the behavior of the Eastern Palace. Now the imperial grandson Shen Lin is so loved by the Empress and his biological mother is also the darling of the Crown Prince... My Tenth Sister, your good days will be very short. People on death row should be given a good meal even if they are about to die! It won't matter if I let you be like this for several days."

Liu Ruoyu also smiled, "My good sister, are you still afraid that I won't be liked by the Crown Prince? Even though my beauty is not outstanding so that I can't win the heart of the Crown Prince, isn't there you? By the way, although Zhang Shaoguang is old, she is still as good-looking as if she is only sixteen. A beautiful woman like her is also uniquely amorous. Maybe the Crown Prince will like her, too. I will marry to the Eastern Palace alone, but I will be able to introduce the beauty of our family to the Crown Prince. I don't believe that I won't be able to hold the throne of the Crown Princess in this way."

Liu Ruoye changed her facial expression and said in a cold voice, "Don't you feel sick when you say something like that?"

"Sick?" Liu Ruoyu slowly poured a little powder on her face, stared at it carefully in the mirror, and understated, "Are you kidding me? Zhang Shaoguang seduced her brother-in-law before she got married. Now that she has been a wife for many years, how would she still care about such a small thing? Besides, how honorable the status of the Crown Prince is? It is also Zhang Shaoguang's blessing to be able to serve him for she is such an old woman. I'll tell you this first. Don't be that shameless when things actually take place!"

Liu Ruoye said coldly, "My mother is also your father's wife! You want your father to be humiliated like this?"

"Father can marry another wife." Liu Ruoyu said faintly, "Anyway, I already have a stepmother. What does it matter if I have a few more? With our father's position, why would he afraid that he cannot get another wife? Do you really think that Father will die without Zhang Shaoguang?"

Glancing at Liu Ruoye's ghastly pale face, she said slowly, "Well, these are all things that will take place after I marry into the Eastern Palace. You can go on to talk about the matter that you instigated in between the Wei sisters and wanted to take advantage of this to befriend Wei Changying with an ulterior intention. What bad thing you are planning on? Does it still have something to do with the eighteenth brother from the return trip to Eastern Hu? If you don't put Ruowo on to the position, you really won't give up?"
