Lady Yun rubbed her forehead and, accompanied by her personal maid and servant girls, headed towards the Dream Building Residence with a weary expression.

The night was tranquil.

A few decorative lanterns illuminated the refined and elegant courtyard, but the main house’s doors and windows were tightly shut. The candlelight inside faintly shone through the window curtains.

Lady Yun adjusted her cloak, took a step up the stairs, and gently knocked on the door.

"Yao’er, are you asleep?"

The room was silent, with no response.

She tentatively pushed the door, but it didn’t budge; it was evidently locked from the inside.

Lady Yun: "..."

What on earth is Yun Wanyao doing?

Knowing that Ningning is not feeling well, yet she still took Ningning without permission. How could she be at ease?

She frowned and continued to lightly knock on the door.

"Yao’er, wake up..."

"Madam, the young lady is at an age where she sleeps deeply. I’m afraid this little noise won’t wake her. How about I break the door open?"

The old maid stepped forward, gazing at the tightly closed door, and her eyes fell on Lady Yun’s back.

"Forget it..."

Lady Yun shook her head with a sigh, rejecting the suggestion.

"It’s so late; making such a noise wouldn’t be good. If we frighten Yao’er, it would be even worse. I’ll sleep in the side room here tonight. Nanny, please have someone inform my husband."

She would stay here, watching over the two sisters. If anything happened, she could be aware of it in time, though she hoped nothing would occur.

"Yes."

The old maid accepted the order, turned, and stepped down the stairs. At that moment, the doors of the two flanking rooms opened, and several young servant girls emerged, bowing apprehensively to Lady Yun.

"Ser-, servant, gre-greetings to Madam..."

The young servants had disheveled hair and slightly untidy clothes, with traces of drowsiness in their eyes, indicating they had hurriedly gotten up due to the commotion.

The Yun Family did not require night-watching or sharing beds, so servants did not stay up unless the masters were unwell.

"Don’t be nervous; I came to see your young lady..."

Lady Yun’s gaze scanned them, offering a gentle smile and speaking warmly.

Though the mistress was kind, the servant girls remained tense, especially Hua Wu, who felt particularly anxious.

"By the way, does anyone know how the Third Miss is doing? Has she woken up during the night? Has she been fed?"

Upon hearing this, the young maids looked at each other before all eyes settled on Hua Wu. The maids beside her even nudged her secretly from behind.

Noticing this, Lady Yun’s gaze fell on Hua Wu.

Hua Wu lowered her head quickly and replied earnestly, "Reporting to Madam, before miss fell asleep, the Third Miss had not woken up, nor had she been fed, but there is milk prepared in the lady’s room."

Lady Yun: "..."

What’s the use of prepared milk?

Yun Wanyao sleeps so heavily. A knock on the door couldn’t wake her. Even if Ningning woke up, she probably wouldn’t know.

No, it seems it really isn’t feasible to leave Ningning with her.

Regretting her previous decision, Lady Yun contemplated having the door broken open. Hua Wu seemingly guessed her thoughts and quickly intervened.

"Madam, I understand your concern for the Third Miss, but please rest assured, this servant will pay extra attention to the lady’s room tonight..."

"As long as the Third Miss makes a noise after waking, I’ll be aware and ensure she does not go hungry."

Lady Yun looked at her with skepticism, "But the door is locked. Even if you hear it, how will you get in?"

"Reporting to Madam, the lady specifically instructed before sleeping that the window is not fully closed. If the Third Miss wakes, I can climb through the window."

Lady Yun: "..."

Climb, climb through the window!!

Such a mistress has such servants. That’s Yun Wanyao for you, even instructing her maid to climb the window.

Who in Haojing City has a noble daughter like her?

Absolutely infuriating.

Lady Yun felt her anger rise, but with so many servants present, it wasn’t proper to reprimand Yun Wanyao. The girl cared about her reputation; embarrassing her publicly would upset her greatly.

Besides, she sleeps like the dead. Even if reprimanded, she wouldn’t hear it, making it pointless to scold.

Forget it, let’s deal with it tomorrow. Tomorrow, she must properly teach this girl a lesson. She’s becoming increasingly unruly and willful.

"Alright, then. You all can go back to sleep."

Lady Yun waved her hand and walked toward the side room.

The courtyard gradually quieted, and inside the room, Yun Wanyao, pretending to sleep, let out a small sigh of relief.

Her head emerged from the blanket, turned to the sleeping baby, and then leaned in to lightly kiss the baby’s soft cheek.

"Little sister, rest assured. I will watch over you tonight and make sure you have milk as soon as you wake."

True to her word, Yun Wanyao stayed alert all night. Even though she was too tired to keep her eyes open, she forced herself to stay awake.

The east began to lighten; the candles inside were nearly burnt out.

Yun Wanyao looked out the window, then at Yun Wanqing, speaking drowsily, "Little sister, why aren’t you awake yet?"

"Please wake up soon. Sister can’t hold out much longer. Besides, Mother will want to take you once it’s daylight. Wouldn’t that mean my efforts tonight were wasted?"

"..."

In a daze, Yun Wanqing heard a familiar, pleasant voice chatting in her ear.

Who could it be???

Her consciousness began to stir. Upon opening her eyes, she saw a stunningly elegant face, the girl’s skin was like jade, her complexion flawless.

Yet, her beautiful eyes were slightly bloodshot, full of weariness. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

The next instant, the girl’s eyes widened with delight, looking at her in joy.

"Little sister, you’re awake???"

"Wow, really awake. Thank goodness..."

Yun Wanyao: "..."

[Sister, your state seems a bit off!!!]

[Humph, it seems to be dawn. How am I in your room?]

[And sister, your eyes are as red as a rabbit’s. Did you not sleep all night?]

Just waking up and seeing Yun Wanyao in that state, Yun Wanqing felt utterly confused, her mind in chaos, not understanding a thing.

Instead, Yun Wanyao quickly calmed down.

"Uh, let’s talk later. Little sister, you must be hungry? I’ll get the milk for you. We can chat while you drink..."

She had something very important to request from her little sister.

Having spoken, Yun Wanyao pulled back the blanket and got out of bed.

Yun Wanqing did not stop her; she indeed felt hungry. Though not faint from hunger, her stomach was uncomfortable.
