The remaining two black-robed men allowed her to vent her anger, remaining silent all along.

"What if this gets out and is traced back to me?" After venting her spleen, Li Yanran sat on the stool, muttering to herself like a listless rag doll.

"Miss, rest assured, no one has ever known our identities. I can stake my life on it, they will leave absolutely no trace." One of the black-robed men tried to soothe her, bowing his head.

Yes, they were ready to die for the cause. Li Yanran finally regained a bit of her spirit. "Hide yourselves well; until I summon you, you are not to appear in the Li Residence."

"Yes." The two black-robed men vanished into the room.

Li Yanran lay alone in bed, tossing and turning, feeling somewhat uneasy. Sitting quietly on her own, she decided to be patient, keep an eye on the situation, and wait it out.

The next day, Lady You saw that Yanran had not left her quarters, and sent a maid to investigate.

"Miss said she was feeling unwell due to the cold wind, so she is resting in her room. Madame had some medicine soup sent over to her." The elder maid informed cheerfully after investigating, "However, I heard Miss Yanran was in a bad mood and poured out all the soup."

"Are you sure she poured it out?" Lady You took a sip of ginseng tea, looking satisfied.

"I’m sure," the elder maid answered with a smile, "Xique, a bird in the courtyard, told me."

It seemed that the people Li Yanran had sent out had failed. Yet at this moment, Lady You had not connected the two corpses on the execution stakes to Li Yanran.

"Let’s go see the Miss." Lady You had someone fetch some ginseng from her small storeroom, then put on a cloak and left the house with it held in a maid’s hands.

When the mistress and her maids arrived at Li Yanran’s courtyard, everything was indeed quiet.

The maid with Lady You lifted the curtain and went in to announce their arrival.

The one who came out to greet them was Sihuan, who was always by her side.

Dressed in a thick cotton robe, Sihuan gave a respectful bow to Lady You, "It’s the young Mistress who has come. This servant pays my respects to the young Mistress."

"How is the Miss doing?" Lady You asked with concern.

"The Miss is sleeping soundly. It suddenly became cold and she caught a slight chill. She doesn’t like to take medicine, so she is feeling a bit groggy. Fortunately, she does not have a fever." Sihuan responded respectfully.

"Since she is asleep, I will not disturb her. We should not wake her up. You all must take good care of her. If she develops a fever, report it to the Madame immediately." Lady You tapped the maid for emphasis.

Sihuan adopted an even more respectful demeanor.

"Keep the ginseng. In the future, use it to nurse the Miss back to health." As Lady You finished speaking, a person beside her immediately handed over the box containing the ginseng.

"When the Miss wakes up, this servant will be sure to inform her that the young Mistress came to visit." Sihuan was quite steady in handling things.

Lady You nodded, "You may all go back to take good care of her."

Having said that, she led her entourage back.

Watching their retreating figures, Sihuan heaved a deep sigh, picked up the box, and went into the house.

Lin Ziyin left home with mixed emotions. When he came back, his mood had improved slightly. However, Chu Suifeng was now in a bad mood. At this moment, Si Jinhan and Situ Gong were nowhere to be found.

"You dare return?" In the study room where only both of them were left, Chu Suifeng’s impatience erupted. "Did you dare to deceive me?"

"What do you mean by that, my Prince?" Lin Ziyin replied, his mood souring at the sight of him.

"Have I been too indulgent with you?" Chu Suifeng’s face was as black as ink.
