Chapter Eighty-Seven: Liu Yun's Invitation

  After dinner, Liu Rong returned to the mansion in Yongcheng County's carriage and saw Dong'er waiting at the gate. There was also a maid pacing back and forth anxiously by the door. When she saw Liu Rong arrive, she stepped forward to greet her before Dong'er could even react.

  "Feng Jiao has seen Miss San. My young lady requests that you must go to her room."

  This maid is Liu Rong, she recognizes her as a maid beside elder sister Liu Yun, only they have never greeted each other before.

  Dong Er saw Feng Jiao speaking, and walked to Liu Rong's side, looking at Feng Jiao with a hint of puzzlement, not understanding why the eldest young lady's maid would come to find their own miss, considering that Madame Liu and her mistress were currently like fire and water!

  "Is anything wrong?"

  Liu Rong frowned and looked at Feng Jiao, although Liu Yun was the biggest victim of this rumor, but because the other party was Liu Dainai's legitimate daughter, she didn't want to get in touch with her.

  Besides, it's getting late, and Dong'er will be waiting for her at the gate of the mansion. She was probably instructed by Zhong Yiniang, who might still be in her room waiting for her to return and report back safely.

  She didn't want to keep Zhong Yiniang waiting for too long.

  Seeing Liu Rong not following her immediately, Feng Jiao's eyes turned red: "I beg of you, please go over there, my young lady said that in this mansion, only you can help her, others..."

  Feng Jiao glanced around, making sure no one was paying attention, before continuing: "It's just that the young mistress' mother, Madame, probably wouldn't care about this matter either. Madame has always doted on Second Miss..."

  Dong Er looked at Feng Jiao speaking in such a manner, somewhat impatient: "What you're saying has nothing to do with my family's young lady. My family's young lady is the one who was forced into a dead end, don't look at her kindness and speak nonsense. Isn't this just Liu Dà Niáng and the two sisters plotting together, coming to my family's young lady to play the part of a trick?"

  Since Liu Rong fell into the lotus pond and was rescued, Dong Er had been ordered to follow Liu Rong's side all the time. Seeing so many things, one by one, which one wasn't caused by Madame Liu harming Liu Rong? Plus Second Miss's attitude towards Liu Rong, she had long hated Madame Liu's two daughters as well.

  "Dong Er, don't be rude." Liu Rong didn't let Dong Er continue speaking, but instead fell into deep thought, seemingly thinking of something. Finally, she nodded at Feng Jiao: "I'll go with you to take a look."

  "Miss!" Dong Er reluctantly called out. He finally remembered the look on Liu Rong's face when she got angry at the temple that day, and was worried that if he said anything else, he would be sent back to serve under Zhong Niangniang again, so he didn't continue to stop her.

  Feng Jiao was overjoyed. She thanked Liu Rong profusely before leading her quickly to Liu Yun's courtyard.

  As soon as she arrived at the hospital, she saw Liu Yun sitting beside a stone table waiting for her. The cold wind blew her hair strands by her ears, but she seemed to feel no chill. She just sat there blankly, with obvious redness around her eyes, apparently having cried hard.

  But it's a pitiful sight.

  "My silly miss, how can you sit outside like this? What if you catch a cold? Who will care for you then!" Feng Jiao rushed over to help Liu Yun up as soon as she saw her state, and by the end of it, she was crying along with her.

  Dong Er saw Feng Jiao's movements and couldn't help but roll her eyes, pretending to be what. Who are you pretending for? With me here, you can't take advantage of my family's young lady, nor can you harm my family's young lady!

  "But has Third Miss arrived?" Liu Yun didn't respond to Feng Jiao's words, she only turned her head to look for Liu Rong. Only when she saw Liu Rong did she let out a sigh of relief.

  Liu Rong still saw for the first time big sister Liu Yun aside from her calm smile.

  "It's good that you're here, third sister. Let's sit inside the house, it's a bit cool outside." Liu Yun's voice was still gentle, but her nasal tone was slightly heavier as she spoke and led Liu Rong into the house.

  Dong Er was somewhat unwilling for Liu Rong and Liu Yun to enter the house, but seeing Liu Rong follow in, he couldn't help but stomp his foot and also followed them into the house.

  Liu Yun's house is very simple, and it can't be compared with the luxurious Liu Fu courtyard at all. However, there is a slightly refreshing feeling here. Such a room is somewhat beyond Liu Rong's expectations. She didn't expect that Liu Dainai could teach her daughter to decorate such a room.

  "This used to be Aunt Zhong's usual resting place, but my mother didn't like it, so I moved in." Seeing Liu Rong constantly sizing up the house, thinking she had some idea, Liu Yun explained: "However, I think this house is nicely decorated, so I haven't changed anything."

  Liu Rong suddenly realized that this was actually arranged by Zhong Yiniang.

  "I'm actually envious of my sister, having a good mother like Clock Aunt and the opportunity to leave the mansion. If she really leaves, it's as if the sky is high and birds can fly freely, and the sea is vast and fish can jump at will. But unlike me, stuck in the mansion, only waiting to get married, and if something goes wrong with the husband's family, this life... would be ruined."

  Dong Er heard and frowned, couldn't help but look at his own young lady, until he saw Liu Rong didn't respond, just quietly listening, before slightly putting his heart at ease.

  Liu Yun saw that Liu Rong didn't respond, still with a calm and bland expression, and couldn't help but let out a faint sigh, knowing that she wanted this clever third sister to take over the conversation herself and continue to help her was impossible.

  It's also because her mother has been treating Sanmei this way all along, how could Sanmei be willing to help her? This time, it was just because they had the same goal that she had such an extravagant hope.

  "I want to ask Third Sister to agree to something," said Liu Yun, taking a deep breath as she looked at Liu Rong.

  "Sister can speak first." Liu Rong did not immediately respond, but looked at Liu Yun and said lightly.

  Liu Yun couldn't help but pause for a moment before speaking: "I hope that when you help me resolve the matter of breaking off the engagement, you can bring me along."

  "Dong Er immediately frowned: 'Miss, this matter cannot be agreed to!'"

  "Who knows if Miss will not be the one to use a desperate trick, with Second Mistress's temperament, what can't she do! At first, she clearly knew that framing you would tarnish your reputation and also affect Miss's reputation, but she'd rather kill wrongly than frame you. With such a temperament, I really can't think of any outcome if you agree to this matter!"

  "Moreover, this opportunity was so hard-won, Miss, you absolutely cannot be soft-hearted and fall for their trick!"

  Liu Rong slightly raised an eyebrow, although she knew Liu Yun had come to find her and it was definitely related to the matter of resolving the divorce with Old Master Hou, but she hadn't expected that Liu Yun would actually want to follow her and get involved in her own future.

  Liu Rong couldn't help but take a closer look at Liu Yun, and it turned out that after she crossed into this family, although she had contact with many people, she was the least close to her elder sister Liu Yun, because the other party was too gentle.

  Even after what just happened with her and Webei Hou's sister, she could still smile at him with kindness, which wasn't something an ordinary person could do.

  So, she was more on guard against Liu Yun than others.

  But such people often value their own interests much more than others.

  Liu Rong pursed her lips and gazed at Liu Yun's reddened eyes. Should she let Liu Yun join in or not?
