"But Second Elder Sister, if I made it look like that Elder Sister hid Third Elder Sister then her friends will think badly about her. What if they stopped being friends with Elder Sister"

Li Na was startled to see that Li Chen knew something like this. The smile on her lips almost faltered before she composed herself and answered

"Why would they? Instead, they will praise Elder Sister for her hiding skills. It is just like hide and seek."

"Hide and Seek. That's Elder Sister's favorite game."

Li Chen said with a bright smile.

"Really?"

Li Na pretended to be surprised.

While Li Chen spoke to her about Li Rui's likes or dislikes, Li Na winked at Li Caihong unnoticed from Li Chen's eyes and Li Caihong immediately started to tell a fake story to Li Chen where she had hidden something and then all of her friends admired her.

Li Chen slowly started to believe Li Na and Li Caihong's words.

However, before sending him out of her courtyard with Li Caihong's hairpin, she made sure to instill in his mind that no matter how many times someone asks, he can't tell anyone that it was him who had brought the hairpin to Li Rui's courtyard otherwise he would be punished heavily.

Li Chen was scared and immediately promised that he will not tell anyone anything.

--------

Li Na sighed in relief when she saw that Li Chen didn't say anything. She hid him behind herself and said to Yi Huiqing arrogantly

"Elder Sister Yi Huiqing, I am sure that Grandfather Yi will not be happy to see you scaring young children like this."

Yi Huiqing's lips twitched and her palms were itching to beat Li Na's arrogant face. However, she didn't want to make the matter anymore worse for Li Rui.

The young Yi Huiqing didn't know that proving that Li Rui didn't steal anything was more important than Li Rui not getting beaten by her father.

However, she was not at fault also.

In children's eyes, the things that are nothing for adults are something very big.

Li Na smirked when she saw Yi Huiqing's courage getting less. She felt powerful and looked at the silent Li Rui standing behind Li Caihong.

"Elder Sister, Although I knew that Elder Sister has many talents, I didn't know that Elder Sister has this talent also. Tsk…"

With these words, Li Na turned around to leave Li Rui's courtyard with Li Caihong and Li Chen before Yi Huiqing could really beat her this time.

Held by Li Na, Li Chen's head was turned around to look at Li Rui who was standing there silently and staring at him.

"This is so outrageous. Will they come and do anything? What do they just think of themselves? I think this time Li Chen is also involved with them."

Yi Huiqing said to herself as she pressed her head.

At this moment, she finally heard Li Rui's voice who had been silent for the entire time.

"Leave it."

Yi Huiqing immediately turned to look at Li Rui and held her shoulders as she asked her

"Rui, why didn't you say anything before? I was calling you so many times but you didn't answer me at all."

Li Rui was again silent for a moment after hearing Yi Huiqing's question.

Why didn't she say anything?

She was so lost after seeing a hairpin and then hearing Li Zhan's name that she couldn't speak anything. Li Zhan's body full of blood flashed in front of her eyes …a scene that she wouldn't be able to forget in her whole life but she was trying to since the past few days.

And she had been successful to some extent. However, today the same circumstances just refreshed the memory of that day.

Until the time she had come out of her trance, all of the girls had left already. Now she thought about it, what would have her explanation even done.

Those girls just came here to know if the rumor from the Imperial Palace banquet was really true or not. She could see it in their eyes.

"Leave it. Let's go inside. I am feeling a little unwell."

She whispered softly as she stepped forward.

Yi Huiqing didn't say anything else although she had many things inside her heart. She knew that Li Rui had just gotten up from a very bad fever just a few days ago.

However, before Li Rui could take one more step, she suddenly fell down on the floor.

"Rui"

Yi Huiqing was startled to see Li Rui on the floor and immediately bent down to help her get up. However, when she turned her body around she saw that her eyes were closed.

"Rui"

Not soon, Li Mei and Li Hua came in search of their mistress and they were shocked the find an unconscious Li Rui on the floor.

"Young Miss"

Hurriedly, Li Hua picked Li Rui from the ground, and then with Li Mei's help, she took her inside the room.

On the other hand, outside the courtyard, Li Chen stopped walking with Li Na and Li Caihong and they also have to stop seeing this.

"What happened now?"

Li Caihong who was happy after their plan had been successful frowned seeing Li Chen's stubbornness.

Li Chen looked at Li Na with a frown and said

"Second Elder Sister, you have said that everyone will praise the Elder sister but no one did that. All of them called her a thief. And I also didn't get what I wanted."

Li Na's face had a bored expression but she knew that she had shut Li Chen's mouth very nicely otherwise he will go and tell everyone everything. She kneeled down in front of Li Chen and made a face that was full of sorrow

"Chenchen, forgive your sister. I had thought that it will really make Second Uncle allow you to train with other children. However, it didn't work. I don't know why."

Li Chen frown became deeper and he stepped away from Li Na as he said

"But all of them now think that Elder Sister is a thief which she is not. I will go and tell them that it was me who did this."

Li Chen couldn't even take a step ahead as Li Na held his shoulders tightly and looked straight into his eyes.

"You can't do that, Li Chen. If you did that, then let alone training with other children, you will not be able to stay in Li Manor anymore. Father will be very angry and throw you out of Li Manor or sell to someone."

Li Chen was very scared and his whole body started to tremble after hearing these words. His big black eyes were filled with tears as he fearfully stared at his sister.

"No…Chenchen will not say anything. Don't sell Chenchen."

Li Na was satisfied. After threatening him, she immediately put on a gentle face and then pulled his small body closer.

Patting his head softly, she said

"Elder Sister adores you so much. I am sure that she will not mind your lies just now. She will understand that you just did this because you wanted to train with other children."

Li Chen, still scared, nodded his head and was suddenly assured by these words.

And Li Na and Li Caihong also smiled in victory seeing this.
