From the day of frost, the weather is getting colder every day.

Gu Yunxi stayed in the courtyard obediently embroidering her wedding dress, and even paying her respects to the old lady became once every two days.

"Miss, Fourth Aunt, please see me." Hong Zao said.

"Please come in." Gu Yunxi said.

"See Second Miss." Fourth Aunt saluted.

"Why is Fourth Aunt so polite?" Gu Yunxi said.

Fourth Aunt stood up and said respectfully:
"Second Miss is the future princess, there is a difference in honor and inferiority, etiquette cannot be discarded."

"Si Yiniang is so polite, it's no wonder she is loved by her father." Gu Yunxi said.

Fourth Aunt took the hot tea from Longan, shook her head and said:

"In the back house, life and death are just a word from the eldest lady, so what's the use of the master's favor?"

There was something in Si Yiniang's words, Gu Yunxi didn't ask, but instead asked:
"I don't know why Fourth Aunt is free to come to my yard today?"

"Second Miss thinks I'm bothering you, how quiet is Tinglan Court?" Fourth Aunt asked.

"Fourth aunt was joking."

Gu Yunxi didn't say yes or no.

Fourth Yiniang is a smart person, so she can naturally see that Second Miss doesn't want to have too much involvement with her.

Fourth Aunt put down the cup in her hand and said with emotion:

"After the new year is the wedding of the second young lady, if Sister Fenghe is still here, she will be very happy."

Gu Yunxi stopped holding the embroidery needle, Mu Fenghe was the name of Lin Xi's birth mother.

"What does Fourth Aunt want to say?"

Gu Yunxi stood up and sat down opposite Si Yiniang.

Seeing this, Fourth Aunt smiled more on her face and said:

"Every time I see Second Miss, it always reminds me of Sister Fenghe, she is really a confidante."

"Si Yiniang knows my mother very well?" Gu Yunxi asked.

"Sister Fenghe has a cold temper and doesn't interact with anyone in the mansion."

Fourth Aunt continued:

"I was originally Madam's dowry maid. Second Miss, does Second Miss know why I became Master's aunt?"

Gu Yunxi drank tea and did not respond.

Fourth Aunt seemed to not need her answer, and continued:
"Back then, Sister Fenghe entered the mansion as a special favor, and the eldest lady had no choice but to accept a concubine for the master in order to share her favor."

"It's a pity, how can we wait for rouge and vulgar fans to compare with Sister Fenghe, the eldest lady's calculations have failed, and she is becoming more and more intolerable."

Si Yiniang sighed and said: "That's why sister Feng He ended up like this in the end"

"Si Yiniang means that the eldest lady killed my mother?" Gu Yunxi asked.

"The revenge of killing my mother, doesn't the second miss want to avenge it?"

Gu Yunxi put down the teacup in her hand and said, "Si Yiniang just wants to instigate me to deal with the eldest lady because of her one-sided words?"

"Second Miss, don't you believe me?"

Fourth Yiniang said: "If Da Furen hadn't arranged for Sister Feng He to have an affair with someone, how could the Master have the heart to execute her?"

"How could the second young lady lose the care of her biological mother at such a young age?"

"Where's the evidence?"

Compared with Si Yiniang's grief and indignation, Gu Yunxi's reaction can be said to be a little indifferent.

"How can Da Furen leave behind something when she does something?" Si Yiniang sighed.

"Since there is no evidence, how can Fourth Aunt tell me to believe it?" Gu Yunxi said.

"Second miss thinks I'm framing the eldest lady?"

"Is Fourth Aunt not worthy of doubt?"

Gu Yunxi smiled lightly and said: "In terms of means, you are not bad, Fourth Aunt."

"The eldest sister's miscarriage, the eldest lady has never doubted the fourth aunt."

Gu Yunxi added some tea to Si Yiniang and put it in front of her.

Si Yiniang looked at Gu Yunxi's eyes, and the panic flashed in her eyes.

She picked up the hot tea on the table and drank it, then admitted:

"Things in the mansion really cannot escape the eyes of the second young lady."

Fourth Yiniang continued: "The eldest lady is heartless, she framed my son first, so you can't blame me for not remembering the past relationship between master and servant!"

"Speaking of this, I would also like to thank Second Miss for helping me find the real culprit."

Fourth Aunt stood up and solemnly saluted Gu Yunxi.

Gu Yunxi waved her hand and said, "With your intelligence, Auntie, it will be a matter of time before you know it, so don't thank me."

Fourth Yiniang said: "I know Second Miss suspects me, but about Sister Feng He, whether I have lied or not, Second Miss will find out after she checks."

"What does Fourth Aunt want?"

The smile on Fourth Aunt's face became a little more genuine when she heard this.

"Parents are nothing but for their children."

Fourth Aunt stood up, knelt on the ground and begged:
"I beg Second Miss, help me protect An Sheng!"

"Third sister?" Gu Yunxi asked, "Did Fourth Aunt ask the wrong person?"

Fourth Yiniang firmly said: "No, the person I am asking for is you, Second Miss."

"I know that as long as the old lady is alive, the old lady will not dare to plot An Sheng blatantly, but how long can the old lady live!"

Fourth Yiniang's eyes are full of worry: "The eldest lady is the aunt, and I really can't feel at ease because she is holding An Sheng's marriage in her hands."

"I beg Second Miss to take pity on our mother and son!" Fourth Aunt knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Fourth Aunt, please." Gu Yunxi said, "I have agreed to Auntie's request."

Si Yiniang was overjoyed and said: "Thank you Second Miss, thank you Second Miss."

Gu Yunxi said: "My aunt doesn't need to thank me, it can be considered that I have repaid my aunt's kindness for pitying me back then."

Fourth Aunt's pupils trembled. Back then when the eldest lady succeeded in her scheme, the master ordered Sister Fenghe to be executed.

The eldest lady was so cruel that Lin Xi, who was only seven years old, was sentenced to death.

How cruel it is to see one's own mother being executed with one's own eyes!
Seeing that the second young lady was about the same age as An Sheng, she couldn't bear it, so she secretly begged the old lady.

Second Miss also escaped unharmed.

Unexpectedly, her soft-heartedness back then would be rewarded with such a big reward today.

Fourth Aunt didn't say anything more, and after saluting, she prepared to leave.

Walking to the door, Fourth Aunt stopped again, and said to Gu Yunxi:

"Second Miss wants to know the truth about that year, so she might find an opportunity to interrogate Mama Liu."

After saying a word, Fourth Aunt left without looking back.

"Miss, does Mother Liu want to keep an eye on it?" Hong Zao asked after Si Yiniang left.

"Let Bai Qing keep an eye on her, and if she has the chance, she will just take him away and interrogate him!" Gu Yunxi said.

"Miss, is it true that Da Furen killed Auntie?" Longan asked after hesitating for a moment.

"At least it has something to do with Da Furen."

"What if Fourth Aunt really lied to us on purpose?" Longan worried.

Gu Yunxi replied: "No,"

"Si Yiniang has a request for me, and although she has plans for me in her words, she never dares to talk nonsense about it."

"Si Yiniang is very scheming, why is Miss so easy to agree to her request." Hong Zao said.

"Back then my mother was doomed to die, so Fourth Aunt was able to take the risk of offending Da Furen and intercede for me, which is quite rare."

"As long as Lin Ansheng doesn't cause trouble, it's not difficult for me to protect her." Gu Yunxi said.
