Spring flowers.

Chapter 24 Heavens!

At night, a wind picked up all around, indicating that rain was imminent. The pre-storm heat swept through the entire Wei residence.

Many people can't sleep well.

The old lady had sent people to inquire several times, but Wei Yishang had given them the runaround each time.

Everyone was waiting to see what would happen here. It wasn't that a maid's life was so valuable, but rather that the power struggles within the inner quarters always kept people on their toes.

Wei Yishang fanned Cui'er, lost in thought.

Slowly, Cui'er woke up, opened her eyes, saw Wei Yishang, and quickly got up.

This sudden movement made Cui'er feel a little dizzy.

"You should rest well, there's no rush," Wei Yishang continued to fan Cui'er.

"Who am I? Where am I?" Cui'er looked bewildered, her expression towards Wei Yishang somewhat different.

"Cui'er, you're feeling weak, you should rest first." Wei Yishang was also a little tired, so she went to sleep.

"I've time-traveled???"

After Wei Yishang left, Cui'er quickly got up and looked at herself in the mirror.

"What am I going to do with all the supplies I painstakingly stockpiled in preparation for the apocalypse?"

She thought for a moment, realizing it was probably from the novel she was reading. But if she was the maid Cui'er, then who was she just now? The vicious, disfigured female supporting character?

Seriously? I transmigrated into this world and ended up as some insignificant supporting character?
When will good days come?

Heavens above!!!

Just then, her stomach started rumbling.

This is Li Moyu, who was reborn in the apocalypse. Thinking that she could soon live a carefree life in the apocalypse, she suddenly transmigrated into a book.

Heavens above!!!

Suddenly, she noticed that she was wearing a poor-quality bracelet on her wrist.

The villainous female supporting character's maid is so pitiful; she doesn't even deserve to wear a nice bracelet.

Bored, she gently turned the bracelet, only to find herself entering her own space.

She was feeling hungry, so she took out her favorite snail rice noodles.

Liuzhou is truly a paradise for the stomach!!!

Boil water, cook the noodles, add the toppings, and it's delicious...

After eating and drinking her fill, Li Moyu thought about her master earlier. This girl even fanned her; she seemed quite nice.

No, a woman's thoughts aren't always on the surface. Let's observe further before making a decision.

Wei Yishang woke up in the middle of the night and saw Zhang Zhong sitting at the door, as if he had something to report.

"It's so late, why aren't you asleep? Is something wrong?"

Wei Yishang sat down next to Zhang Zhong, and the two looked just like they did when they were children.

"Ye Tanhua has sent two people. Would you like to see them, young lady?" Zhang Zhong seemed somewhat annoyed.

"You think I don't trust you?" Wei Yishang understood that Ye Mingzhen was helping her with her safety, but Zhang Zhong would see it as Wei Yishang's distrust of him.

"I have to face too many open and hidden attacks. It's too hard for you to guard this courtyard all by yourself."

"Let them in first, I'll take a look."

A short while later, two agile bodyguards appeared.

They were dressed in all black, with their faces covered except for their lips.

"Don't you bodyguards ever look at people?" Wei Yishang found it somewhat strange. Without eyes, how could you protect yourself?

"Sound, sensing..."

Wei Yishang seemed to understand that the most outstanding bodyguards did not use their eyes to see, but their hearts.

Could it be that their eyes...

Thinking of this, Wei Yishang stopped asking.

What Ye Mingzhen, this partner, sent must be the best, but it's easy to dodge a spear in the open but hard to guard against a hidden arrow.

If he were to die prematurely, Ye Mingzhen would be in a passive position again. Right now, Ye Mingzhen, like himself, just wanted to live a good life.

She had seen the true look in Ye Mingzhen's eyes: indifference, coldness, and resolute determination...

As for the future, it doesn't matter what happens to Ye Mingzhen and Feng Yueqiao; let them be.

All Wei Yishang knew was that she had to live well and live a comfortable life.

At that moment, a hidden arrow flew towards them at high speed, but was deflected by the guard's throwing knives.

"Poisoned. Judging by the distance, it's in a nearby courtyard." A guard examined the arrow and returned to report.

Wei Yishang saw the direction and rushed towards Cui'er, knowing that Cui'er had fallen into the water and been rescued earlier that day, and that people were still thinking about her.

The nearby courtyard was inhabited only by the third sister, Wei Mohan, and the second brother, Wei Changsheng.

Both of them were born to the Lin family. Wei Mohan was jealous and had a sharp tongue, while Wei Changsheng, although not good at studying, was very popular among the young masters.

Unlike Wei Changlin, who was an honest man, Wei Changsheng had his own unique characteristics.

Based on this distance, it should be Wei Mohan...

So, the poisoning of the soup that day and the subsequent pushing of Cui'er into the water were all Wei Mohan's schemes?
Wei Yishang felt that life was too difficult for a concubine's daughter. Not only was she oppressed by her legitimate mother and daughter, but she also had to fight against each other.

Wei Mohan's motive was nothing more than jealousy.

Now that she has failed twice, will Wei Mohan give up?

Looks like I need to be a bit of a jerk and provoke Wei Mohan...

Wei Yishang smiled.

Histrionic personality disorder, here we come!

The next day, Wei Yishang informed the old lady during her morning greetings that Cui'er remembered nothing and that they should leave it for now and see.

The old lady thought it was better to avoid trouble, so she didn't say anything more.

As they left the old lady's house, Wei Yishang suddenly called out to Wei Xinluo.

"Sister, I've made some fresh steamed dishes. I'd like to invite you over to try them."

Wei Xinluo naturally did not refuse, but felt that it might not be appropriate for him to go alone in such a public place.

Wei Yingzi usually had an arrogant demeanor, so Wei Xinluo naturally didn't dare to address her.

"Third Sister, would you like to come with me to Sister Chang's room to try her freshly steamed dishes?"

Wei Mohan cared a lot about Cui'er, so she naturally agreed upon hearing this.

"I don't know what wind blew, but my fourth sister started learning to cook... But they say if you marry well, you'll never have to step into the kitchen..."

Although Wei Mohan was willing to go, she couldn't resist making a few sarcastic remarks about Wei Yishang.

Wei Yingzi didn't care about what the concubine's daughters thought. She glanced at Wei Yishang and left.

Inside Wei Yishang's room, Cui'er was picking vegetables with several old women.

"You must not keep this root. You must not keep these rotten leaves either. You must be careful."

Li Moyu knew that if she wanted to survive, she had to find a powerful backer.

Now, will his cannon fodder master avenge him?
Or rather, does she have the ability to avenge the original owner of this body?

Wei Yishang walked over with Wei Xinluo and Wei Mohan.

"The young lady is back." Cui'er paused. "The freshly steamed dishes are on the table inside, covered with bamboo lids. Go and have a taste, young ladies."

She was unaware of the complexities within the mansion, so she could only go with the flow and wait and see before drawing any conclusions.

"Eldest sister, third sister, when Ye Tanhua heard that Cui'er had fallen into the water, he was concerned about my safety and sent several guards to me."

Wei Yishang smiled and took a sip of tea.

"This shows that Brother-in-law Ye cares about his sister; she's so lucky," Wei Xinluo said softly, in his usual tone.

“That’s right, what a coincidence. We just happened to get a hidden arrow last night.” Wei Yishang pointed to the mark on the pillar. “It’s a deep mark.”

"What a blessing." Wei Mohan thought of something, her eyes first wandered, then stared straight at Wei Yishang, thinking about how to complain when she got back.

Wei Yishang knew that it wasn't enough.
