C116 (1/2)

Seeing his eagerness, Lian Yue thought that Lian Fu must have reached the awkward age between a boy and a man. Lian Yue began to feel sensitive and meticulous, as if there were some secrets hidden within.

She touched his forehead and said, ”Yi'er, you've grown up. You're no longer that little kid that only knows how to run behind your big sister. You've started to have your own little world and secrets, that's normal. You don't have to feel sorry for your big sister.”

”No, but …” The usually bright and resplendent youth wanted to speak, but he hesitated. A thin layer of mist floated in front of his eyes, and his fair face was tainted with a layer of red.

”Yi'er, what's wrong? You're in trouble, aren't you? Don't be afraid, I'll use all my strength to help you …” Lian Ru Yue had never seen this kind of combo before. Her intuition suddenly told her that what happened was not because of her thoughts that he had trouble growing up. It was as if he had silently experienced something unknown, but was unable to say anything to her.

”Elder sister …” Lian Meng Yue's hand was tightly clenched. For a moment, it was as if he was extremely afraid of losing her. It was so painful holding her hand that Lian Ru Yue seriously looked at him.

”Eldest Miss, she's here …” At this time, Agarwood walked in quickly. When she saw Lian Ru Yue and Lian Fu tightly clasping hands, she quickly lowered her head. A strange feeling surged up in her heart.

Lian Ru Yue's gaze swept over the incense indifferently. ”Let her in.”

”Yes …” With just that one look, Yun Xiang felt her scalp tingle. This young miss was truly unfathomable. Even though she was always by her side and talked to her every day, she was still unable to figure her out.

Not long later, a person covered in water walked in with his head lowered. He knelt on the ground with fear and trepidation and said:

”Eldest Miss, you were looking for me …”

”Get up, Fairy. Give her a handkerchief to wipe the water.” Lian Ruyue instructed.

An hour later, Yu Zhu walked out with a faint smile on her face. However, when she was close to the corner, she was stopped by a figure. She raised her head and was immediately startled. She quickly knelt down and said:

”Chief Protector.” It turned out that the one standing in front of her was the Chief Protector of the Prime Minister's Estate, Lian Tian.

”The Prime Minister wants to see you. Follow me.” Lian Tian's low voice ordered coldly.

”Prime Minister …” Yu Zhu was so scared that her legs almost went limp.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the study was emanating an atmosphere that was almost frozen. Even Yan Qing's dignified gaze was terrifying.

Yu Zhu, who was kneeling in front of him, trembled like a sieve. This was the first time she had approached the Prime Minister.

”What did you say when you went to the First Miss' courtyard?” Finally, Lian Yan Qing asked.

”Your servant, your servant, her eldest miss, she said …” Yu Zhu's face paled. Large beads of sweat flowed down from his forehead. He was tongue-tied, and only managed to utter a single word after a long while.

The skies above the prime minister's residence were dark and gloomy. It seemed as if the entire sky would collapse at any moment.

When Yu Zhu left Lian Yan Qing's study, she seemed to have collapsed.

The rain continued to fall harder and harder. Even Shiya had to take the umbrella and go to Qing An Courtyard by herself while everyone else was hiding in the courtyard.
