“Who’s there?!”

By this time, the two men who were conversing discovered the abnormality at the door. Qu Zhang Qing shouted at the door scaring Yun Yi Yi, making her take a step back.

Yun Ruo Xue tidied her clothes quickly and happily stepped into Chu Yun Ge. Smiling like a little girl, she said: “Cousin brother, it’s me!”

It was just that while she was talking, that pair of feminine eyes was fixed on the man standing next to Qu Zhang Qing in an attempt to attract his attention.

In exchange for her frivolous manner, the man’s eyes showed ridicule and it got Qu Zhang Qing angry.

“Who allowed you to enter my yard? Are prime minister’s residence’s rules so casual?”

Being mercilessly ridiculed by Qu Zhang Qing made Yun Ruo Xue’s face become thicker and her expression turned somewhat ugly. The tears in her eyes were about to fall.

Yun Qian Meng who just entered, glanced at her once and apologized to Qu Zhang Qing: “We were rude.”

When Qu Zhang Qing saw Yun Qian Meng, the anger in his eyes dissipated a bit. But when looking at Yun Ruo Xue, the hatred in his eyes couldn’t be concealed. He said to Yun Qian Meng: “Fei er is waiting for you at Huan Xi yuan. Go quickly.”

Yun Qian Meng nodded and let Yun Yan pull Yun Ruo Xue away. She then bowed to Qu Zhang Qing and also went out of Chu Yun Ge.

It was just that when she was leaving, she raised her eyes and glanced at the silent Chu Fei Yang who was standing next to Qu Zhang Qing. She felt that the solemn him of today give people a feeling different from the meetings of before.

All the way, Yun Ruo Xue had a heavy expression. She actually didn’t realize that she let Yun Yan pull her hand all the way. And Yun Yi Yi asked Yun Qian Meng full of curiosity: “Big sister, was that cousin brother just now? Who was the one next to him? Really handsome. He’s only a little cold.”

When Yun Ruo Xue heard Yun Yi Yi’s remark, her small face immediately turned serious. She stopped and glared at Yun Yi Yi: “What do you mean by a little cold? Can it be that you like man who are soft as bones?”

Yun Yi Yi didn’t like Yun Ruo Xue from the beginning. Seeing that Yun Ruo Xue was getting angry at her, her temper also flared up. With her hands on her waist, she scolded: “You, a concubine born child, what qualification do you have to scold me? That man was like ice! But some people’s nature is like animals; all the way thinking about man. Just now, who was so shameless entering to seduce that person? You can see that you came from that mother of yours!”

After saying that, Yun Yi Yi raised an eyebrow towards Yun Ruo Xue. She fully didn’t put much importance on Yun Ruo Xue.

Yun Ruo Xue saw that Yun Yi Yi not only destroyed her reputation, even her mother did she (YYY) not let off the hook. Her eyes immediately turned red. She wanted to go forward to slap Yun Yi Yi.

Yun Qian Meng didn’t want to bother much with the two people’s dispute, but today was Lao Tai Jun’s birthday. So, Yun Qian Meng could never allow these two people to destroy Lao Tai Jun’s good mood and she also didn’t want these two people to let Fu Guo Gong Fu lose face.

She instantly went in between the two. One hand held Yun Ruo Xue coming palm. One hand held Yun Yi Yi’s flying fist. Both hands used strength, making Yun Ruo Xue and Yun Yi Yi hiss in pain.

“Have you two vented enough? If you still think that’s not enough, I don’t mind sending you two back immediately!”

Seeing that their backs have bent because of the pain, Yun Qian Meng let go of their wrists. She looked at condescending at the two people’s faces and said those things with a chilling voice.

Yun Yi Yi and Yun Ruo Xue looked at Yun Qian Meng in disbelief. Both clutched their sore wrist. Their eyes still have anger in them, but after meeting Yun Qian Meng’s ice like eyes, their arrogance dropped down. They resented in silence.

“If you still want to stay here, then you can continue to play the precious miss. If you make things difficult for Fu Guo Gong Fu, no need to call father, I, using the status of the eldest sister, I will personally discipline you!”

Yun Qian Meng saw that they were scared by what she said before, so she said some more things to let the two recognize her status this time.

Today, the ones who can come to Fu Guo Gong Fu to celebrate, even if they aren’t from the imperial’s family but they can be considered noble. These people’s eyes are both sharp and poisonous. The slightest mistake would become the talk of town.

Although, Yun Qian Meng didn’t mind to let Yun Yi Yi and Yun Ruo Xue become the targets of everyone’s laughter, but this time, she wouldn’t allow anyone to damage Lao Tai Jun’s birthday. Otherwise, don’t blame her for being merciless.

Sure enough, hearing such a serious a warning, Yun Yi Yi and Yun Ruo Xue instantly quieted down. Although, they still glared at each other, they didn’t exchange words or fists.

Yun Qian Meng watched their performance with satisfaction. Then she took the three and continued to walk towards Huan Xi yuan.

By this time, at Huan Xi yuan’s door stood Qu Fei Qing who was wearing a pink skirt. When she saw Yun Qian Meng, she immediately rushed forward with a smiling face: “Finally, you’ve arrived!”

When Yun Qian Meng saw Qu Fei Qing, she also smiled. She held Qu Fei Qing’s hand and warmly said: “I was also looking forward to the day to meet cousin sister.”

After Qu Fei Qing got to know Yun Qian Meng life in prime minister’s residence, her heart felt more pain for this little cousin sister. She was about to pull the other at a side to say some intimate words, but she then saw that behind Yun Qian Meng stood her three sisters. So, she could only lean and whispered in Yun Qian Meng’s ear: “The things that you let me prepare have been prepared. Taking advantage that there aren’t many people now, we can still sneak off for some time.”

After hearing that, Yun Qian Meng smiled and nodded slightly at Qu Fei Qing.

Qu Fei Qing got an answer, so she told the little maid, who guided Yun Qian Meng and the other here: “First, you lead the three Misses in. I have some words to say to little cousin sister.”

The maid paid respect to Qu Fei Qing and Yun Qian Meng and let the other three into Huan Xi yuan.

Seeing that the people have left, Yun Qian Meng and Qu Fei Qing smiled at each other. Then hand in hand, they went to Qu Fei Qing’s residence.

“Today the kitchen must be very busy. Mom is worried that the smoke will foul little sister. So, we put the things in my Ting Yu Xuan’s small kitchen. What use does these ingredients that little sister lets me prepare have?”

Yun Qian Meng saw that her aunt was so thoughtful, her heart was touched. So, she didn’t conceal it and whispered in Qu Fei Qing’s ear: “Meng er didn’t learn poems or song at home and is also not good at needlework, but my cooking can still be considered good. Today is maternal grandmother’s birthday. Meng er doesn’t have anything decent to give. I just want to make birthday dishes to let her be happy. However, thanks to aunt and cousin sister’s help that Meng er can show filial piety through cooking.”

After Qu Fei Qing heard that, her heart couldn’t help but tighten in pain. If aunt was still alive and Meng er being the daughter of a prime minister, how would she not be proficient in poetry and painting? And how would she need to use her hands to cook?

Yun Qian Meng saw that Qu Fei Qing’s eyes have turned red, immediately took her arm and teased her: “Cousin sister don’t need to be like this. If there aren’t these hardships, Meng er wouldn’t be so strong. This can also be considered a blessing out of something bad.”

Qu Fei Qing knew that those are Yun Qian Meng comforting words, but she also wanted Yun Qian Meng to be happier, so she repressed the pain in her heart that she felt for Yun Qian Meng and smiled: “Today, you better perform well because I’m going to eat one more bowl of rice!”

While the two were talking, they reached Qu Fei Qing’s Ting Yu Xuan. A row of well-trained kitchen mamas already stood there. They knew that she was the cousin miss that Lao Tai Jun loved, so they respectfully said their greetings: “This slave greets cousin Miss!”

When Yun Qian Meng saw that, she knew that her aunt has told everyone that she would come. So, she and Qu Fei Qing took the people to the little kitchen.


At Chu Yun Ge, Qu Zhang Qing has never imagined that Yun Ruo Xue would suddenly barge in and performed like that in front of Chu Fei Yang. For a time, he felt that he had lost face. He could only bow to Chu Fei Yang and apologize: “It is my family’s servant who led the wrong way. Hope that prime minister will forgive me!”

The two people have ended the conversation they were in just now. At this point, Chu Fei Yang didn’t seem that cold anymore. In his eyes slowly emerged the composure that he had when Yun Qian Meng walked in. He said: “Today is Lao Tai Jun’s birthday. It’s busy in the residence. Some small mistakes occurring are harmless. Why should you blame yourself?”

Qu Zhang Qing saw that Chu Fei Yang wasn’t very concerned about it; the hanging heart slowly went down. He immediately changed the subject: “Prime minister, this move of that Chen wang……”

He hasn’t finished speaking, but was interrupted by Chu Fei Yang. Chu Fei Yang raised his hand in mid-air to prevent Qu Zhang Qing from talking. He said lightly: “It’ll not escape the emperor’s eyes. We should just keep good watch at the frontier.”

This wasn’t the right time to get involved in the struggle between the emperor and Chen wang. Chen wang thought that taking advantage of Lao Tai Jun’s birthday to mobilize part of the military, Emperor Yu Qian wouldn’t know. But his every move was below the emperor’s eyelids. It was just that Emperor Yu Qiang didn’t put such a small fish in his eyes. So, he turned a blind eye and pretended to not know.

Regardless of who emperor Xi Jing wanted to get the throne, but now emperor Yu Qian is the emperor of Xi Chu country; the country that their Chu family and the former emperor created together. Naturally, he couldn’t let the commoners suffer because of the battle of the throne. Therefore, if not until the last resort, the army in Chu Fei Yang’s hands would remain neutral. He would not rush to be in the battle and let that cause him to lose his life.

Qu Zhang Qing saw that the Chu Fei Yang who was an executive of the army even before he (QZQ) entered the army, was so calm, his restless heart also calmed down.

Chu Fei Yang glanced at him lightly. He knew that Qu Zhang Qing was a bit impetuous today because he was concerned about the safety of Fu Guo Gong Fu.

However, after the conversation of the two people, the former brave and fierce lieutenant resumed his previous state.

But now what Qu Zhang Qing was concerned about was not only the matter of Chen wang. Since he came back from the border, his mother told him about the matter of prime minister Chu assisting Yun Qian Meng in breaking off the engagement. Qu Zhang Qing was wondering if he should thank Chu Fei Yang. It was just that this matter was concerned with Yun Qian Meng reputation, so he didn’t open his mouth.


At Huan Xi yuan were a lot of ladies. Yun Ruo Xue relied on the fact that previously she went to these kinds of banquets in the stead of Yun Qian Meng, so she proudly walked in front of Yun Yan and Yun Yi Yi. She smiled generously and greeted the misses and madam of each family.

Originally, Yun Yi Yi already despised Yun Ruo Xue. Looking at her showing off deliberately in front of them, she couldn’t help but humphed coldly. She pulled Yun Yan to the pavilion with fewer people to avoid looking at Yun Ruo Xue and getting angry.

Yun Ruo Xue also didn’t want to be together with them. She saw Su Qian Yue and some other ladies were sitting and chatting. She went to them happily.

“Cousin sister!”

When Su Qian Yue heard Yun Ruo Xue’s voice, she stood up and smiled. She pulled her to sit down together with her.

“Finally, you’ve come! Just now, we talked about you.”

Yun Ruo Xue heard that they were talking about her made her curious. She laughed at Su Qian Yue and said: “What were you talking about me? Good cousin sister, tell me.”

Su Qian Yue was helpless. She could only take Yun Ruo Xue’s hand and said: “We were just talking that we didn’t see you in a long time. You didn’t participate at two of the monthly tea parties at the miss’s residence. Can it be that your body wasn’t well?”

While saying, Su Qian Yue looked at the forehead of Yun Ruo Xue which has bangs now. Her eyes were questioning.

When Yun Ruo Xue heard that, her heart regretted why she (YRX) needed to ask about herself in the first place. She saw that all the ladies were also looking at her with the same eyes, she can only helplessly say: “All big sisters here know that in my house there’s an elder sister. A few days ago, Chen wang broke the engagement, her mood is naturally bad. Of course, I as a little sister needs to stay by her side to prevent her from committing suicide.”

With a few words, Yun Ruo Xue turned everyone’s attention towards Yun Qian Meng.

At this time, the Misses who were dressed in several elegant dresses immediately revealed curious looks. They asked Yun Ruo Xue: “In the end what’s the matter? We also heard that Chen wang broke the engagement with Miss Yun and that she also wanted to commit suicide in the hall. How is that big sister of yours doing now? Is she in tears every day?”

When Yun Ruo Xue heard that, her heart felt proud. She exchanged a glance with Su Qian Yue and then said: “Ay, you think about it, which lady whose engagement has been canceled in public will still have the face to live on? To say that big sister of mine is a strong one. She didn’t die, but rather seemed like she changed into a different person. It’s more and more difficult to understand her.”

“Oh? I actually didn’t know that in little sister’s eyes, I’m so difficult to understand.”

At this time, came Yun Qian Meng’s cold and calm voice.
