Wise as Hua Yuefi was to learn some secrets about her mother's death from their brief conversation just now.

She definitely wasn't killed by the rumours about her being just one year old. There must be something more to this story.

Perhaps, there were even more unspeakable secrets involved!

Thinking about the conversation between her grandmother and the Yuan clan, as well as their excited emotions, Hua Yufei was even more certain that what they had just said was no small matter.

Perhaps, this was an opportunity! Her heartbeat quickened and a flash of excitement passed through her eyes.

"Shut up!" Don't bring this up again. You just need to remember, what belongs to you, grandmother will help you take it all back, nobody else can take away the honor that belongs to you. Don't try to be clever and try to do something useless. There are things you don't know. "Knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing." The old mistress' sharp eyes seemed to be able to see through Hua Yufei's thoughts. Her warning was like a blow to her head, waking her up from her reverie.

"..." Yes, Fei knew. Grandmother, you can rest assured that Fei knows what to do. " Due to the madame's words, Hua Yufei broke out in cold sweat as her hands turned cold.

She had almost made a terrible mistake.

Even the old mistress didn't dare to mention it. There must be a lot of people involved. It might be related to some secret history of the palace. Furthermore, she did not know a single thing about what had happened that year. If she were to rashly investigate that matter, would she be able to keep her little life even if it were to spread to the ears of those who wanted to?

Hua Yufei felt a chill run down her spine as she thought about how she had nearly been blinded by the benefits before her and tried to commit such a suicidal act.

"It's good that you know. After you saved Hua Yuan who fell into the water that time, I've always been grateful to you. You have to make good use of this opportunity, our plan will not allow any mistakes to occur, do you understand? " When Hua Yuan's name was mentioned, the madame's eyes were filled with obvious hatred.

"Grandmother, don't worry. I've arranged everything." A cold light flashed across Hua Yufei's eyes. A bloodthirsty urge flashed through them.

Hua Yuan, last time I fell into the lake, I didn't drown you.

At this moment, Hua Yuan was rushing over. She didn't know that someone had dug a pit for her to jump into. Hua Yuan, who didn't know anything, was worried about the safety of her mother, the Yuan clan.

The old lady was kneeling on a prayer mat, holding a string of buddhist beads and mumbling something to herself. She was in her fifties, and her cold brows carried a sense of shrewdness and decisiveness. Although she was in the buddhist hall, her aura was not diminished in the slightest.

"Old madam, is this really alright?" "Madam's body isn't too good, if this goes on, this servant is worried that something might happen to her." There was a delicate and pretty young girl standing to the right of this old man. The young girl was not exceptionally beautiful, but her brows revealed an extremely cold and indifferent aura. She did not seem like a servant girl at all.

Hearing that, the old lady stopped chanting the scripture and opened her eyes. Her eyes shone with bright lights, "Chuchu, are you begging for mercy on behalf of that woman?"

The girl called Chuchu had clear eyes. She looked straight at the old lady and said clearly, "I did not plead for anyone. I was just worried that if this matter were to be announced, the world would misunderstand the old lady."

"Grandmother is magnanimous, her status is revered, who would dare to randomly spread rumors and frame Grandmother? "I know Sister Chuchu has received a favor from that man, so it is understandable that you would want to ask for his help. However, Sister Chuchu, please don't forget that man was disrespectful to your grandmother. He must not let down her feelings for you." Other than the Hua Yuan family in the mansion, Hua Yufei hated people the most. She was the one who was doted on the most by the madame, Chuchu.

She was jealous of Hua Yuan for being pampered, while she could only secretly live in the dark like a mouse. How could she not be jealous of Chu Chuchu when she could get her grandmother's favor even though she was clearly an orphan girl? How could she not be jealous of Chu Chuchu when her grandmother treated her better than she did her own granddaughter?

"Eldest Miss is overthinking it." He did not admit nor deny it. He was as indifferent as ever. It was the attitude he had towards Hua Yufei.

"You …" Hua Yufei was infuriated by Chuchu's indifferent attitude. Just as she was about to argue with her, she heard an anxious shout coming from outside the house …

"Mother, what's wrong? Mother … "Wake up, mother …"

A voice that carried a weeping tone entered the ears of the few people in the room. Hua Yufei raised her eyebrows and thought to herself, 'Could it be such a coincidence?' It was just that after kneeling for a while, could something have really happened?

The old mistress frowned as she got Chuchu to help her up. Then, she looked towards the source of the voice …

"Grandmother, that woman won't die …" Joy flashed past Hua Yufei's eyes as she spoke with a tinge of excitement.

"Shut up!" The old mistress' eyes turned cold as she hollered. While she was infuriated, she was also a little disappointed that she had failed to meet his expectations.
