Chapter 8: Breaking the Siege

Hearing these words from Mrs Yue Luo, Pei Si Yan almost didn't faint.

The heavens and the earth, this boring old woman is really too talented, talented to the point that she "jealous" really want to kick someone into the pool!

Seeing that Missy didn't say anything, Mrs Yue Luo continued: "Missy never used to say the word 'please' before, when has she ever been so polite to our commoner clansmen? And when I was in the study just now, why did I see the clan and the roster of officials in the court or something like that on the desk?"

Lady Yue Luo's eyes contained/contained a smug smile, but Pei Si Yan felt malice.

Pei Si Yan was embarrassed, she didn't know how she was going to answer the other party's question, her calves started to tremble and soften non-stop, she grabbed Yun Qi's wrist desperately in order to seek for some way to calm down.

"Miss, why are you looking at these things, aren't they something you've been familiar with since you were a child?" Lady Yue Luo said, pleasantly looking at Pei Si Yan's embarrassed appearance.

"Erm ... this ..." Pei Si Yan mumbled, her head white with confusion, not knowing what to explain.

Lady Yue Luo smiled and asked, "What, miss?"

Looking at her malicious expression, Pei Si Yan really had the urge to punch her in the face.

"Miss, why didn't you answer my question?" Mrs Yue Luo said, "Could it be that you really are ..."

Just as Pei Si Yan was sweating with impatience, a female voice with an oppressive tone rang out from the garden, "A Luo, how many times do I have to tell you, don't think that just because young miss is young that you can provoke rudeness at will."

The visitor was none other than Lady Yuexi, she came in style and stood beside Pei Si Yan, she was half a head taller than Lady Yue Luo, an imposing pressure ensued.

Help finally came, Pei Si Yan was so excited that she wanted to hug Lady Yuexi.

Lady Yue Luo bristled and said, "I think miss is too strange, so is it wrong to be concerned?"

"Miss's affairs don't need you to care, A Luo." Lady Yuexi sneered, squinting at Lady Yue Luo.

With Lady Yuexi by her side, Pei Si Yan finally found a little bit of courage again, she barely calmed herself down, stared at Lady Yue Luo, and said, "Aunt Yue Luo, there is a saying called 'first courtesy, then the army', you should have heard of it, right? Since I'm going to inherit the throne of Witch Pan, my behaviour and handling of things naturally can't be as hasty as before. Regarding those books in my study, it is good to learn from the past, and I think that reading them again will help me to deal with my affairs in the future. Do you think so, Aunt Yuexi."

Lady Yuexi nodded her head and praised, "Xiao Yan is right, she has indeed grown up to understand things."

"I've answered all your questions one by one, Aunt Yue Luo if there's nothing else please return," Pei Si Yan said politely, "Thank you for the pastries."

"I'm relieved that miss is safe and sound, farewell." Lady Yue Luo looked at Pei Si Yan and then Lady Yue Ruoxi, handed the food box in her hand over to Yun Qi, and led her own maids of honour away.

Pei Si Yan breathed a sigh of relief, as if there was a big invisible hand that instantly took all the strength out of her body, she had no strength at all and almost went limp on the ground, luckily Yun Shan held her up in time.

"I'm really thankful to Aunt Yuexi for helping me out just now." Pei Si Yan said gratefully to Lady Yuexi.

"You're the one who explained it clearly to Yue Luo, what's the point of thanking me?" Lady Yuexi smiled gently and demurely, "I just happened to be passing by Write Autumn Xuan and heard Yue Luo's voice so I came in to take a look. Xiaoyan, in the future, never show weakness in front of the commoner clansmen. Alas - it's all because my brother used to be too good to them, unlike other clans that focus on the distinction between the first and the concubine, causing them to become more and more ignorant of the rules."

Pei Si Yan lowered her head and smiled.

In fact, she suddenly figured out that even how rude and arrogant they were, in the end, they were all blood relatives, living together under this roof, contributing their share to the huge and honourable family.

Tantai Yan must have thought so, so no matter how the clansmen were, they had to guard the clan.

"Alright, I still have things to do, so I'll leave first." Lady Yuexi stroked her niece's hair and went out.

Pei Si Yan turned back to Yun Qi and Yun Shan, "Come on, let's go back to the house." She saw Yun Qi rubbing her wrist, upon closer inspection her wrist was even slightly bruised, she went forward and carefully cupped Yun Qi's hand, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it just now."

Yun Qi smiled and said, "Miss, please don't say that, it's a disgrace to the slave girl."

Pei Si Yan blew gently into Yun Qi's wrist, Yun Qi squirmed and shrunk her hand.

Pei Si Yan laughed, "It's clearly my fault, and I've told you all before, don't have so many rules in Write Autumn Xuan."

Yun Qi's face revealed a smile, "Yes, miss."

"By the way, where is Li Qingyan?" Pei Si Yan asked again.

Yun Shan who was at the side replied, "Lord Li went out in a hurry early in the morning and didn't explain anything to the slave girl, so the slave girl wasn't sure where he went."

Pei Si Yan spat out her tongue - this guy didn't know to say hello beforehand when he went out for a trip, she might as well lock the courtyard door and not open it to anyone knocking on the door, so she wouldn't have to make a scene about what happened just now. I don't know if Lady Yue Luo really believed her words, I hope she won't add to the nonsense with the other clansmen and set off a storm.

Thinking of this, Pei Si Yan's heart began to panic: "Yun Shan, you go and bolt the door first, except for Li Qing Dye other people calling the door will not open."

Yun Shan answered and prepared to go close the door.

"Wait," Pei Si Yan called out, isn't closing the courtyard door a clear sign of being a thief, "It's better not to close it, slightly open a crack."

Lady Yueruo, as the second house's person, touched her nose here, now except for uncle ancestor there should be no one who dares to break into Write Autumn Xuan at will, what else does she have to worry about?

"Yun Qi, come, go back to the house and have a seat. Yun Shan, you come along too." Pei Si Yan pulled their hands and quickly walked back to the bedroom, "Sit down, there's no need to talk to me about etiquette rules."

Yun Qi and Yun Shan squirmed and stood by the chair, just refusing to sit down, Pei Si Yan walked over and pressed them into the chair.

As if there were nails on the stool, Yun Qi just sat down and jumped up again, "Miss, the slave girl remembered that we need to prepare your clothes for after the mourning period starting today."

"There's no rush to prepare today, ah? Accompany me for a chat, these days reading books are almost bored to death, take advantage of Li Light Dye's absence to be lazy for once!" Pei Si Yan said, holding Yun Qi's hand and swaying.

Ever since she stepped into this high walled compound under the pretext of "losing her memory", Li Qingdan's demands on her have become stricter and stricter every day. She felt like she was back in her senior year of high school, buried in a sea of books, and could only come up for a short while to catch her breath, and then she was kicked in again.

Pei Si Yan all a little hate him, but in Tantai House all things have to rely on him, can only what he said all do.

Today, it was not easy for him not to sneak around in the Write Autumn Xuan, how could she not take this opportunity to have a good rest? Otherwise, she would be too sorry for herself!

Yun Qi's face revealed a gentle smile, "Yes, Miss."

"Yun Qi will chat with miss, slave girl will come and sort out the clothes well, the clothes must be sorted out as soon as possible before they are ready," Yun Shan stood up and said, "Slave girl is clumsy and can't speak, unlike Yun Qi who is understanding."

Pei Si Yan saw that she insisted on going, so she didn't stop her, "Fine, then you go."

Yun Shan owed her body and went around the screen. Pei Si Yan glanced at her blurred figure through the translucent screen was about to open her mouth to speak to Yun Qi when she suddenly realised a very serious problem - she was about to open the very cabinet where the bloody clothes were hidden!

These days she had been wearing white mourning clothes, so the cupboard had not been opened, she had been reciting books to the darkness of heaven and earth, and had long since thrown the matter of the bloody clothes out of her mind, and had never thought of finding a gap to hide the clothes elsewhere.

Listening to Yun Shan's words, it seems that all the clothes have to be moved out and rearranged, so it seems that the chances of not being able to find that piece of clothing ... are basically zero.

The chances of not being able to find the dress are basically zero.

The head "boom" a loud bang, Pei Si Yan "miso" on the chair jumped up, the wind and fire rushed over a hand to pull Yun Shan's hand, a hand pressed on the cabinet door, shouted: "Wait a minute! "

Yun Shan was so frightened by Missy's hideous expression that her face changed, pale as if it was a big white sheet of paper.

Yun Qi ran over and asked, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

"I ..." Pei Siyan looked around, pointed to the open window, and continued, "The sun seems bad today, you guys see that dark clouds are starting to accumulate in the sky, the clothes will be packed in a couple of days. "

Yun Qi smiled, "Miss, these clothes are all ready to be taken out and thrown away."

Ahhhh, throw them away?

Pei Si Yan looked at her in shock, that day, despite just hastily sweeping the clothes, the texture she felt after touching them with her hands made her clearly understand that these clothes were worth a lot, only the Tantai family, such a noble family, could afford to buy them.

The clothes were all still very new looking, so why throw them away? Red fruit wasteful and wasteful behaviour ah!

"The clothes are all still new ah?" Pei Si Yan asked in disbelief, "It's too much of a shame to throw them away."

"Miss, you are going to inherit the position of Witch Pan, and your previous status is very different, so the clothes you wear must be reordered to fit your future status," Yun Qi explained, "In two days, the tailor master will come to measure the size and re-sew the clothes for you."

Pei Si Yan held her forehead, the rules are really not normal two much, what the hell reasoning that you can't wear the previous clothes when your identity has changed!

"But throwing it away is really wasteful." Pei Si Yan thought about it and cheerfully called out, "How about giving the clothes to the poor?"

"Miss," Yun Shan spoke up, "The clothes are embroidered with the family crest, except for the Tantai family who are not allowed to wear them, or else they will be beheaded for the offence of trespassing."

Beheading ... Pei Siyan touched her neck, feeling some vague pain there, as if there really was a big axe chopping on her neck.

Seeing that the young lady's expression was too abnormal, Yun Qi asked with concern, "Young lady, are you alright?"

Pei Si Yan turned her head to look at the hand that was still pressed on the door in death, searching for what other excuses she could use to keep Yun Shan from opening the wardrobe, her brain flew round and round, but she just couldn't think of any viable excuses.

Yun Qi and Yun Shan's eyes are getting more and more strange, Pei Si Yan noticed that Yun Shan this little ninny is secretly trying to get rid of her hand to open the cabinet door.

Pei Si Yan wanted to cry without tears, he was really stupid to the moon ... no, outside the Milky Way.
