Yue Er stared at the medicine bottle in the box, her confusion deepening.

Jiang Peihuan’s next actions puzzled her even more.

“Put the medicine away and remind me to take it every night.”

“Understood, Miss.”

As Yue Er complied, Jiang Peihuan felt somewhat puzzled. She had hidden her insomnia well. Nobody in the Jiang family knew about it. How did he find out?

“Master, 1 believe the young lady has accepted your medicine.”

Han Feng spoke softly from behind a tree outside the plum garden, glancing at Xiao Nanye, who was intently observing the garden.

…..

Only after the door closed did Xiao Nanye look away.

Upon seeing Han Feng still watching him, Xiao Nanye grumbled, “Why are you still standing here? Let’s move.”

With that, Xiao Nanye quickly departed, leaving Han Feng smirking behind him.

After dinner, Yue Er placed the Heart-Nourishing Pill beside Jiang Peihuan.

“You all don’t need to stay here, go and rest,” Jiang Peihuan said softly, taking the medicine from Yue Er.

Accustomed to Jiang Peihuan’s nighttime solitude, Yue Er obediently left the room.

Jiang Peihuan leaned against the bed with a book. Whether it was the medicine or tiredness, she started feeling sleepy after reading for a while.

She slept well that night, only to be awakened by a knock at the door.

“Yue Er, let’s open the door. The young lady usually wakes up early. I wonder why she’s still asleep today.”

“It’s rare for the young lady to have a good sleep, and these people had to disturb her,” Yue Er grumbled, her eyes flashing with anger.

“Let’s go in.”

After pushing open the door, they found Jiang Peihuan lifting her bed curtain. Yue Er rushed forward to help, “Miss, are you awake?”

“Mm-hmm.”

Jiang Peihuan nodded, feeling relaxed and refreshed. The Heart-Nourishing Pill had indeed worked.

“What is it?” she asked.

“Eldest Miss, Lan Er is here.”

“Lan Er?”

Hearing this name, Jiang Peihuan frowned. Lan Er was Jiang Ruyun’s personal maid and had just gone to Huainan Mansion yesterday.

“What happened?”

“I’m not sure about the details, but 1 heard Lan Er went to the Chrysanthemum Hall.

Third Madam sent Jing Er to get you. She wants you to go over.”

As she finished speaking, Yue Er had already tidied up for Jiang Peihuan.

“Let’s go to the Chrysanthemum Hall.”

Jiang Peihuan, along with Ye Xiao and Lu Er, headed towards the Chrysanthemum Hall. They hadn’t even reached the gate when they heard the sobs of Lan Er.

“Old Madam, you must save the Second Miss. She’s been bleeding all night, and they didn’t even call a doctor from the palace. 1 had no choice but to run back.”

Entering the hall, Jiang Peihuan saw the clear finger marks on Lan Er’s face.

“Grandmother, Second Aunt, Third Aunt.”

“Huan Er?”

Upon seeing Jiang Peihuan, everyone in the room seemed relieved.

Especially Zhou Rongfang, she grabbed Jiang Peihuan’s hand. “Huanhuan, what should we do? Ruyun seems on the verge of death.”

Tears filled Zhou Rongfang’s eyes.

Liu Xiu, despite her indifference towards the Second Madam, couldn’t help but feel sympathy for her in this state. She comforted her, “Second Aunt, don’t panic, we will find a way.”

Zhou Rongfang replied, “What can I possibly do? Ruyun got married just yesterday; I can’t possibly bring her back today.”

Jiang Peihuan interjected, “Who said you can’t?”

“Huan Er, you mean?”

“Second Aunt, if Ruyun can’t even keep her life, what’s the point of minding these trivial matters?”

Jiang Peihuan responded firmly to Zhou Rongfang’s gaze. She then turned towards Old Madam Jiang and softly said, “Grandmother, 1 will go to Huainan Palace to check on her. Don’t worry.”

Upon hearing this, the Old Madam nodded.

She said quietly, “You should go check. If it’s just an accident, don’t spread it. If it truly is Huainan Mansion’s fault, don’t be scared. Ruyun is our family’s daughter; we won’t let her suffer needlessly.”

“Understood, Grandmother, don’t worry.”

After reassuring the Old Madam, Jiang Peihuan left the Chrysanthemum Hall.

As soon as she left the Chrysanthemum Hall, a cold look replaced the concern in Jiang Peihuan’s eyes.

“Do we need to prepare a carriage, eldest Miss?”

Deputy General Liu quickly asked when he saw Jiang Peihuan exiting the main gate.

Shaking her head, Jiang Peihuan softly said, “No need.”

She whistled, and the sound of horse hooves echoed shortly after. Her horse, Lie Feng, ran to her side and came to a halt.

Climbing onto the horse, Jiang Peihuan took the reins.

“Elder Sister, let me go with you.”

At this moment, Jiang Sijin’s voice came from inside the manor. She looked at Jiang Peihuan sitting on the horse and quickly spoke up.

Jiang Peihuan shook her head. “This matter isn’t simple; you stay home, I will go alone.”

“Eldest Sister, didn’t you say we, as the Jiang family, share in glory and loss together? 1 am also part of the Jiang family.”

Jiang Sijin approached Jiang Peihuan, determination shining in her eyes.

When Jiang Peihuan remained silent, Jiang Sijin continued, “If you won’t take me now, I’ll go by myself later.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Peihuan revealed a faint smile. She looked at Deputy General Liu, “Prepare a horse for the Third Miss.”

“Yes, eldest Miss.”

“Miss, 1 will be by your side. My duty is to keep you safe,” Ye Xiao said and followed behind closely.

Jiang Peihuan nodded and said nothing.

The trio immediately embarked on a journey to Huainan Mansion on horseback. Upon reaching the gate, Jiang Peihuan turned to Ye Xiao, instructing her, “Knock on the door.”

“Understood.”

Ye Xiao promptly dismounted and rapped on the grand door of the Huainan King’s Mansion.

The door was promptly answered. However, upon noticing Jiang Peihuan perched on her horse, the gatekeeper instinctively moved to shut the door. Witnessing this, a shadow of sternness passed over Jiang Peihuan’s eyes.

She swiftly reached for the black whip hanging from her waist, flinging it towards him.

The gatekeeper was instantly flung to the side, leaving Ye Xiao to open the door.

Entering the premises on horseback, Jiang Peihuan was quickly followed by the gatekeeper who cried out, “Quickly, notify the Queen!”

In her past life, Jiang Peihuan had visited the Huainan Mansion, so she knew where to go. She rode her horse straight there.

“Miss, please stop!”

When Jiang Peihuan got to the main door of the backyard, she was stopped by Zhao Yong, who seemed to come out of nowhere.

“Butler Zhao,” she said “I wish to see my younger sister..”
