With that in mind, Hou Shi squinted her eyes and said, "I think if she is causing harm, she will eventually harm all of us."
Shu Yu nodded in agreement. "That's what I think too."
Hou Shi took a deep breath. "So what should we do?"
She had already prepared herself to personally deal with the second miss. Who knew that Shu Yu would smile and say, "We'll stage a little act and say a few words. That's all."
Hou Shi was taken aback. "Just say a few words?"
"Yes." Shu Yu turned her head and looked at the sixth miss. "When you take the bowls and chopsticks to the kitchen later, check if the second madam is there. When she comes out alone, come back pretending to be sneaky. Lead the second madam over. Can you do that?"
The sixth miss blinked her eyes and quickly nodded. "I can do it."
The sixth miss had grown quickly. In the past, there were many things that Hou Shi didn't allow her to be involved in, but now it was different. If she continued to remain ignorant about everything, she wouldn't be able to survive.
So Hou Shi and Shu Yu no longer avoided talking in front of the sixth miss.
After giving her instructions, the sixth miss quickly took the bowls and chopsticks back to the kitchen.
As soon as she left, Shu Yu whispered a few words to Hou Shi, who nodded repeatedly as she listened.
Before long, the sixth miss quietly returned and closed the door silently, gesturing outside. "The second madam is here."
Shu Yu smiled, and Hou Shi immediately straightened up, reprimanding the sixth miss. "Why did it take you so long? Didn't I tell you to come back after washing the bowls and chopsticks?"
"I heard that the eldest miss and the second miss were arguing, so I wanted to go and see what was happening. I didn't expect them to finish arguing so quickly," the sixth miss whispered.
Hou Shi scolded her, "What's there to see? We're at odds with them now. Stay away from their affairs. Did you think they wouldn't notice you sneaking around? They might think you're trying to steal something from them."
Outside the door, the eavesdropping second madam pursed her lips. When she saw the sixth miss behaving guilty, she had indeed thought that the sixth miss was trying to steal their food. But now, it seemed like it wasn't the case?
The sixth miss defended herself in a low voice, "Mother, it's not that serious. When we arrived, we were all penniless. What could I steal? They can't slander me for something that didn't happen."
"You..." Hou Shi wanted to say something to her.
However, Shu Yu suddenly interrupted her, smiling as she looked at the sixth miss. "You're so naive, sixth sister. Just because there's nothing to steal doesn't mean they can't slander you. You never know with your second sister. She's a malicious person, and you never know when she might harm you."
Hou Shi was startled. "It can't be that bad."
"Why can't it be?" Shu Yu sighed. "I didn't want to say it, but you still haven't realized the truth, sixth sister. You might suffer in the future. If you want to suffer on your own, that's fine, but don't drag me down with you."
"What's going on?" Hou Shi asked.
"On that day at the Lin Zhang Mansion, the leader of the escort officers called me aside and said a few words privately. You all know about it, right?" Shu Yu looked at them.
The second madam outside the door froze when she heard the word "privately." She widened her eyes, held her breath, and pressed her ear closer.
Hou Shi quickly asked, "What secret?"
"The seventh miss, the one your gentle second sister pushed into the water and drowned."
"What... What?"
