Li Luo initially declined the offer, but eventually, unable to resist the generosity, accepted the items and dragged Dong Huiying along to have tea inside.

However, the moment Li Luo got close, Dong Huiying suddenly caught a whiff of a faint scent.

She hesitated for a moment but understood immediately, deciding to see through it without revealing her knowledge.

After entering the room.

Dong Huiying mentioned the previous encounter with Yan Xiyu.

"Her character is twisted. Later, she had people attempt to harm me, but instead, I managed to extract some information from her."

"She originally lived somewhere else and was only brought back by the Yan Family Master a few years ago? Plus, the Yan Family Master is of noble status but humble origin?"

Li Luo was momentarily stunned. "That’s right, the Family Head was originally a servant of the Yan family. It was said that the Yan family suffered a catastrophic event, and the Family Head rebuilt the family’s reputation with the servants. This matter is not a secret in Dongcui City; many are aware."

Dong Huiying nodded, "That explains it."

No wonder Yan Xiyu always acts superior and condescending. "Not only is she not the Yan Family Master’s biological child, but she also treats the Yan Family Master like a servant, is that so?"

Yan Xiyu, but the name made Li Luo feel intense hatred.

"She is arrogant and looks down on everything."

This was Li Luo’s assessment of Yan Xiyu.

"Her face, you’ve seen it, appears gentle and soft, not like someone with an arrogant and domineering attitude. Initially, when she returned to the Yan family, she pretended to be nice and clever, but soon tired of pretending, revealing her true self."

Dong Huiying raised an eyebrow, "Today, I saw Yan Xiyu wearing a bracelet of yellow wooden beads on her wrist."

The bracelet was too plain, clashing with Yan Xiyu’s luxurious attire, leaving a deep impression on Dong Huiying.

"Ah, that."

Li Luo furrowed her brows as if recalling an unpleasant past.

"I really can’t understand her."

Li Luo exhaled heavily.

The two were silent for a while. Finally, Dong Huiying looked at the sky outside, seeing it was getting late, she stood up to take her leave.

Seeing off Dong Huiying, Li Luo recalled her seemingly idle conversation, feeling as though she was being hinted at something.

But.

"Could it be that I was overthinking?"

Li Luo shook her head, temporarily suppressing the thought.

After dinner.

Li Luo gave a slight smile to her father and brother, "Dad, Xiao Shan, I’m heading into town. Miss Dong accidentally left an earring here during the day, I need to return it to her."

Li Luo’s father, worried, repeatedly urged her to be careful, unaware that Li Luo was merely using this as a pretext.

She grabbed a Black Cloak and draped it over her shoulders, stepping into the night.

...

At the same time.

Dong Huiying changed into a set of Night Walk Clothes, and furtively approached Yixuan. "Yixuan, Yixuan? Do you want to watch some excitement?"

"Hmm?"

Yixuan turned around with a smile, seeing his wife with a mischievous expression, seemingly eager for chaos.

As they exchanged looks, her expression grew animated, "Tonight, the Yan family is going to have trouble."

Seeing her interest piqued, Yixuan smiled at her.

"Alright then, let’s go take a look."

Just to satisfy his wife’s curiosity, accompanying her to witness the commotion.

The man’s gentle smile was indulgent, almost doting.
