Tao Yue was in a very good mood. She took out the piano score that she hadn’t touched for a long time and happily went to the greenhouse to play the piano.
Tan Rou was dead, so Tao Yue could continue to be the eldest daughter of the Tao family. After the news of Tan Ron’s death spread out in a few days, she would ask her grandparents to take back Source Creek Manor. Such a beautiful place couldn’t be abandoned there.
“Good morning! The flowers are so beautiful today!” Tao Yue greeted the servants enthusiastically.
The servants were confused. Tao Yue had been gloomy a while ago, but she had become happy in the past two days. They didn’t know what was going on.
“Second Miss, good morning!” the servant replied.
Tao Yue’s expression changed for a moment, and then she muttered, “It’s okay. 1 won’t be the Second Miss soon anyway.”
The servant did not hear what she said clearly. “Second Miss, what are you talking about?”
“Nothing,” said Tao Yue. “The flowers are blooming very well today. Cut a few of the prettiest ones and send them to my room.”
The servant said, “Today’s flowers should be sent to the old madam’s room first. The rest should be sent to the other rooms.”
“Grandma has so many flowers. What’s wrong with giving me a few?” Tao Yue said unhappily. “I’m Grandpa and Grandma’s favorite granddaughter.”
The servant lowered her head and rolled her eyes. She was their favorite granddaughter? Who didn’t know that the old master and the old madam’s favorite granddaughter was Miss Tan Rou?
“I understand, Second Miss.” The servant agreed.
Tao Yue was a little angry. “Don’t call me Second Miss anymore.”
“Then what should I call you?” the servant asked.
Tao Yue couldn’t say it directly. “Just don’t. It sounds stupid.””
The servants found it strange, but Tao Yue had been acting strange recently, so they didn’t think too much about it. They just thought that Tao Yue was crazy again.
On Saturday night, Tao Yue planned to take a walk around Yuanxi Manor after dinner to admire the new house that would soon fall into her hands.
Aunt Zhou walked over. Tao Yue was a little nervous when she saw her. “Good evening, Aunt Zhou.”
“Second Miss, the old lady wants you to go. She has something to say to you,” Aunt Zhou said indifferently.
“Really?” Tao Yue was very happy. Grandma must be looking for her because of Yuanxi Manor. “Where is she?”
“In the pavilion beside the lotus pond.” Aunt Zhou said.
Tao Yue immediately ran away with a smile. Aunt Zhou slowly followed behind her, the corners of her lips curling up slightly.
There were many mosquitoes by the pool at night. In order to avoid the mosquitoes from disturbing them, the Tao family spent a lot of effort. Now, there were no mosquitoes here.
“Grandma, I’m here.” Tao Yue excitedly ran into the gazebo that was covered by a white veil, but she saw an unfamiliar back. “Who are you?”
“Don’t you recognize me, Second Cousin?” Tan Rou turned around and smiled at Tao Yue.
Tao Yue’s eyes widened as she shouted, “Ah! There’s a ghost!”
“What the hell?” Tan Rou asked calmly. “Where is it?” The lights in the pavilion were very dim, and Tan Rou was wearing blood-stained clothes. She looked like a corpse that had crawled up from the ground.
“I didn’t kill you. If you want revenge, go find the person who killed you.’Tao Yue was so scared that she couldn’t walk. “Eldest Cousin, you… Hurry up and leave. Don’t scare Grandpa and Grandma.”
“Tao Yue, why did you send assassins to kill me? I have no enmity with you. Why do you want my life?” Tan Rou said to Tao Yue. Since she thought that Tan Rou was a ghost, she would continue with it.
“No grudges?” Tao Yue immediately shouted, “I’m the real eldest daughter of the Tao family. You’re just a wild girl who came back halfway. What right do you have to steal my position? As soon as you came back, Grandpa and Grandma gave you Yuanxi Manor and prepared so many jewels for you. These should have been mine!”
“So you sent an assassin to kill me?” Tan Rou asked.
Tao Yue’s mind was in a mess, and her heart was filled with anger. “And you stole the honor that should have belonged to me. You won first place in the physics competition and the piano competition. If it weren’t for you, I would have won first place!”
“Killing people for those illusory honors, you are so scary.” Tan Rou shook her head.
Tao Yue stared at Tan Ron’s face, wishing she could go up and tear her face into pieces.. “You’re even more hateful!!!”
