The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 241 Misunderstood from the beginning

Seeing that her master was angry, Bai Shao came from behind and shouted at Shui Rong: "What are you, you dare to frame our little lady?"

Shui Rong was neither humble nor overbearing: "Er Niang calm down, I didn't doubt what you mean, I just think that it is not necessary for the masters to do such a trivial matter as taking the bird's nest.

"If the guards can't come in, you can let those strong women build a ladder and let them fetch it."

Cui Erniang's expression froze, what she said was correct.

Seeing Cui Erniang's expression, Cui Hengyue felt that Shui Rong was thinking too much. Cui Erniang just wanted to ask her for help, not to hurt her.

"It's too late to call someone, let me get it for you."

Hearing this, Erniang Cui looked at Cui Hengyue gratefully: "Elder Sister—"

Cui Hengyue smiled at her and walked under the tree.

"Yuan Niang, let me go get it."

After Shui Rong finished speaking, without waiting for everyone's reaction, she walked to the side of the tree, grabbed the thick trunk and climbed up.

She moved swiftly and climbed up the tree in a short while, which amazed Cui Erniang and others.

Lady Wen quietly walked to Cui Hengyue's side, and asked in a low voice, "Shui Rong doesn't know martial arts?"

Although Shui Rong climbs the tree quickly, her movements are clumsy, which makes it obvious that she does not know martial arts.

Cui Hengyue was silent, Shui Rong naturally knew martial arts, but she didn't show it.

Probably to hide his strength and confuse the enemy.

Cui Hengyue moved her eyes calmly, taking a panoramic view of those overt and secret scrutiny.

The mansion was very quiet these two days, she thought they should be secretly investigating her strength, after all she robbed Yuan Niang's identity as soon as she entered the mansion, they were afraid and did not dare to act rashly.

"know a little."

After a while, Cui Hengyue slowly spit out three words.

Mrs. Wen was silent.

"what--"

"Be careful--"

Shui Rong stepped on the ground, and her body quickly slid down, causing the people below to scream.

Cui Hengyue opened her hands, ready to receive someone, but saw Shui Rong grabbed a branch and her body was hanging in the air.

Cui Erniang couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and shouted: "Hold on tight, I'll call someone to rescue you right away."

He also told Bai Shao: "Go and call someone to help."

"No need." Shui Rong's voice came from above.

I saw Shui Rong swinging vigorously while hanging from the branch, and the next moment, her body landed firmly on the thick tree trunk.

She began to climb again.

Cui Erniang was startled, and blurted out: "Come down, I don't want this bird's nest anymore."

Cui Hengyue looked at Cui Erniang, this little girl looked coquettish and domineering, but in fact she was very soft-hearted.

Her heart moved, and she stepped forward and patted Cui Erniang's shoulder lightly: "Don't worry, she has been climbing trees to dig out bird eggs since she was a child, and she won't fall off."

Shui Rong who was climbing a tree: "..."

She never picked out a bird's egg.

Dazed for a moment, she continued to climb up until she reached the branch of the tree where the bird's nest was. She carefully removed the bird's nest, held it in her arms, and then slowly descended.

After landing safely on the ground, Shui Rong held the bird's nest in front of Cui Erniang: "Look, are you satisfied?"

Cui Erniang took the bird's nest and said, "Satisfied, satisfied, very satisfied."

She stared intently at the four fluffy little birds in the nest, and when they looked at each other, her heart softened instantly.

"It's so cute." Cui Erniang walked into the nearby pavilion with the bird's nest in her hands, put the bird's nest on the stone table, and gently stroked the bird's feathers.

Cui Hengyue waved at the others, signaling them to back off.

After Bai Shao and others exited the pavilion, Cui Hengyue walked gently to Cui Erniang, followed her example and lay down on the stone table, reaching out to touch the little bird.

"Chirp..." The birds scrambled to sing happily.

The corners of Cui Hengyue's lips rose: "These little guys are really likable."

"Yeah." Cui Erniang nodded in agreement, her eyes never leaving the bird.

Cui Hengyue looked sideways at her.

Under the sun, her face was rosy white, like beautiful jade.

"Er Niang, do you go to Yunxuan Temple every year?" Cui Hengyue looked away, and asked casually while stroking the little bird.

Cui Erniang didn't think too much, and immediately replied: "No, I haven't been to Yunxuan Temple before.

"But many people say that Yunxuan Temple is a wonderful temple, so I just want to see it.

"However, my mother forbade me to go, so last time I sneaked out of the house and followed them secretly."

At this point, Cui Erniang suddenly withdrew her hand, annoyed: "In order not to let my mother find out, I deliberately disguised myself.

"In the end, my aunt had already seen through my identity, but she didn't expose me, she wanted to secretly catch me and send me back to the house.

"My aunt is really too bad..."

Cui Hengyue didn't hear the latter words, and Cui Erniang's words kept echoing in her ears:

"My aunt has already seen through my identity."

Cui Hengyue thought about that night, she followed Wutong and Xiuyun all the way, and overheard them saying "I've seen through her identity a long time ago". At that time, she thought they were talking about her, but now it seems... maybe they were talking about Cui Erniang?
Cui Hengyue asked calmly: "You appeared in Yunxuan Temple later, that means that the auntie caught you, but didn't send you back to the mansion.

"I think you misunderstood my aunt..."

Cui Erniang was in a hurry: "I didn't misunderstand her, she was just unreasonable and overbearing.

"If I hadn't been witty and escaped from the inn in time that night, I definitely wouldn't have been able to reach Yunxuan Temple."

Cui Hengyue's eyes moved: "What's the name of the inn you mentioned?"

"The Yunlai Inn in Mingyang Town."

Cui Hengyue froze all over.

It turned out to be Yunlai Inn?
At that time, she was living with Mrs. Cui in the Yunlai Inn, and accidentally overheard Mrs. Cui wanting to kill her.

After thinking for a moment, Cui Hengyue calmly asked again: "Then how did you go to Yunxuan Temple?"

When mentioning this matter, Cui Erniang was a little proud: "I'm lucky.

"My aunt saved a little peasant girl that day, and I hid in her room.

"Although my mother knew my identity long ago, she didn't know where I was hiding, she only knew that I was in the courtyard, so she ordered all the guards to stand outside the courtyard, trying to catch me.

"However, I found them. It happened that the little peasant girl was leaving in the middle of the night, so I took the opportunity to run out."

Cui Erniang didn't notice that Cui Hengyue's face had changed, she smiled, the corners of her eyes and brows were full of pride:
"Although I was caught by the guards within a short distance, many people came to Mingyang Town that night.

"Aniang said that those people belonged to the Prince Regent and the King of Chu, and they were catching fugitives. She was afraid that I would run into those people, so she simply took me to Yunxuan Temple."

After finishing speaking, Cui Erniang raised her chin at Cui Hengyue, as if to say: How about luck?

Cui Hengyue suddenly understood her eyes, and said "good luck".

The little bird chirped in my ear, but Cui Hengyue didn't have the heart to listen.

Perhaps, that night, the "one will not do two endlessly" she overheard was aimed at Cui Erniang, Xiuyun and Wutong should mean "one will not do two endlessly, just grab Erniang and send her back to the house", but Not to kill her.

She misunderstood Mrs. Cui from the beginning.

If this is the case, then Mrs. Cui's subsequent behavior can be explained...
