Even on the third day, they did not see the shadow of the Master Dong.

Xie Jingxi sat in her room drinking tea. The tea leaves were still fresh from the dragon well this year, and a sweet fragrance wafted in the air. Even though they were in a room with a magnificent western wind, they still had the feeling that they were in Great Chen.

Gu Xiaoyu lied on top of the little black panther, holding Gu Shi'er in her arms as she asked her mother, "Mother, do you think they are deliberately letting us off? What are they doing, suppressing our anger is making us feel more and more uncertain, and then when we are talking about something else, the initiative will be in their hands. It's really too treacherous."

Just like how Sheng Tong held Sheng Jin tight, without batting an eyelid, luring the enemy in, and with a single move.

Even the little girl could see through it, Xie Jingxi snorted in her heart, this was definitely the way Manager Qi and the rest of the merchants felt, just like the previous Mao Chang, which was most likely captured by them.

In these three days of time, they were offered up to him in every detail, and every day there were three meals which were prepared according to Great Chen's eating habits. They did not stop him even when he wanted to go out, and even with carriages as his attendants, they did not see him, so he was not courteous at all and made people want to smash something when he asked.

On the day that they had just arrived, someone had already measured them up. Of course, they were not the only ones who had received the usual treatment, after all, they had all lost almost all of their attendants, and with such a thorough service, how could they possibly miss out on this round of tailoring.

"Madam, I've made you wait for a long time. A woman's dress takes some time, and it's slower this way."

Xie Jingxi's eyes swept across Fang Dai as she walked forward. Following the maid's hand, she flipped through a few of Xie Jingxi's dresses, and then frowned, "Oh, that's not good, our lady isn't used to wearing collars like this, and this waist cutting, it's probably made by a third-rate master. The embroidery process is really lacking, so our lady won't wear this kind of dresses."

The maid didn't expect them to be so picky with their dresses. She was at a loss for a while. "This …" "Madam, this was already done personally by our best master. Look at you …"

"Bring it over for me to take a look." Xie Jingxi waved at her.

The female servant walked up to him, causing Xie Jingxi to flip through the pages symbolically as she smiled: "Embroidery is indeed lacking a bit, but after all, it is not our Great Chen, for a foreign country to have such an Embroidery Mother, it is already not easy." Xie Jingxi casually left out a set, "I will keep this set, I will repeat the rest."

The servant girl said, "Since Madam is not satisfied, we should address Madam as satisfied. However, this embroidery lady is not from a foreign land. She was specially invited here by the Great Chen. Madam, what do you think …"

The maid means that this is already the best work of the embroidery lady, and you have no choice if you are not satisfied.

Xie Jingxi was in a difficult situation, "Oh, so it's like that, the embroidery lady with the famous Great Chen would never come here to make a living, and since it's like that, then it's fine, but the style has to be changed. How about this, I will ask your master to come over later, what problems do you have?"

"This... Since Madam has asked for it, we will try our best to fulfill it. However, we will have to inform the higher-ups that we can only invite Master here after they have agreed to it. "

Xie Jingxi nodded, "Thank you."

After the maid left, Gu Xiaoyu quickly ran over and checked her own clothes. She thought to herself, Isn't this good, not worse than the embroidery mother at home?

"Shh …" Xie Jingxi shushed her, "Ah Yu, take your two treasures out with you. You should be bored out of your mind being stuck in the house.

Gu Xiaoyu bit her lips, rolled her eyes, and immediately jumped in joy: "I got it Mother, I definitely won't run around …"

Just as Gu Xiaoyu was about to go out, the maid outside the door finally took her leave.

After Fang Dai sent her out, he closed the door and stood there listening for a while. Then, she came over and said to Xie Jingxi in a low voice: "Our Young Miss really knows everything."

Xie Jingxi laughed, glancing at the dress on the table. "Since we're going to fight, we can't just let them attack us, right?"

Fang Dai looked at the embroidery on the dress carefully, and asked, "Madam, did you manage to see anything?"

She did have a guess, but she wasn't sure. She had to give it a try.

"What about Manager Qi?"

Fang Dai said: "I almost forgot, when I met him in the morning, I asked him what thoughts you had, it seems like they are a little anxious, but they still went out for a stroll, probably to understand more about Luzon."

"Let them be. After all, the Manager Qi still has to rely on him."

In Gu Xiaoyu's car, with the Gu Shi'er in her arms and the little black panther at her side, the birds that were released from the three cages scattered around the courtyard happily. In just a few months of effort, the Gu Shi'er had grown up quite a bit, becoming quite familiar with the little black panther.

Although he was still a long way off, he was still a little wolf cub after all. He could not hide the ferocity in his bones and always showed a fearless look wherever he went, threatening people with his bared fangs and brandished claws.

The courtyard of the Sacred Hall was not small, and the style of construction was westerly, but it was mixed with traces of the Great Chen courtyard. It was likely that quite a few people from the Great Chen s lived there, especially some of the mountain rocks and plants. After receiving her mother's instructions, Gu Xiaoyu dutifully made a ruckus in the courtyard. Other than being a little impolite, no one took a little girl to heart.

There was a distinction between an official area and a residential area, and within the residential area, there were different types of courtyards. The courtyard Xie Jingxi and the others resided in was different from the ones Manager Qi and the others had, and it was very obvious that the male and female guest rooms were not the same. Other than that, there were even more courtyards within, though it was unknown if it was the owner's courtyard.

Gu Xiaoyu rolled on the ground with Gu Shi'er, while looking around him, she realized that Manager Qi and the rest had already gone to their courtyard, they were all companions from the same boat, there was nothing abnormal, but the courtyard inside was extremely mysterious.

The little black panther had been cooped up on the boat for the past few months, playing even more crazily than the Gu Shi'er. It had a big head, and after a while, it disappeared into the yard, leaving no traces behind. The Gu Shi'er was not willing to be lonely, so she also ran out to find it.

"Little Black Panther, quickly come out!" Gu Xiaoyu shouted as she searched for them, following the tracks the little black panther left behind. As it walked, she wasn't even sure where she should go.

There was no one else around, not even a guard. The courtyard was neat and tidy, and aside from the few flower trees planted in the corner of the yard, there was almost nothing else.

Gu Xiaoyu thought that it was really strange, what kind of person would live in such a desolate and unpopulated place, it was quiet, but the few flower trees that grew were really exuberant, the flowers blooming were dense, and the ground was covered with petals, although Gu Xiaoyu did not recognize them, it was actually a few Begonia stalks.

A girl like her, who loved noise since she was young, was not used to this kind of place. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she suddenly heard the little black panther hiding somewhere as it whined, she placed her hands on her waist and said angrily: "Little black panther! Come out, or else I will give all of your meat to Gu Shi'er! "

Her loud threats did not scare the little black panther out, but did alarm the owner of the house. Gu Xiaoyu did not notice that someone had appeared behind him, and it was a young lady.

"Hey, where did you get this girl? Who let you in here!"

The corner of Gu Xiaoyu's mouth twitched. She turned her head over in embarrassment and then laughed mischievously, "This big sis, I'm really lost. I came here to find my little black panther.

The little girl looked to be around fifteen or sixteen years old, her appearance was ordinary looking, with a round face that was a little cute. However, her expression and posture were completely different from adorable, as she sized up Gu Xiaoyu coldly and solemnly, and the little black panther that was walking towards her with its head lowered.

Good heavens, she thought she really was a leopard. This little girl could live in vain. She had given him such an unrealistic name.

"Go straight ahead, then turn left. Watch you from now on …" Little Black Panther, don't run around anymore. "

"Mhmm!" Gu Xiaoyu smiled at her, she wanted to hug her, but she dodged quickly, causing him to freeze in place, disappointment on her face: "Little big sister, do you know what your name is?"

Gu Xiaoyu held onto the little black leopard, pouting disappointedly, as she left step by step. The originally cold face of the little girl, upon seeing her, only twitched her brows slightly, then turned around and walked neatly towards the few crabapple trees.

At the very least, finding a place to shade from the sun wasn't a problem. But deep within the crabapple, a slender and straight figure was standing under the shadow of a flower. It seemed to have been standing there for a long time, and a petal could not help but rest on his shoulder.

At his feet was a little wolf cub, the Gu Shi'er that he had just disappeared from earlier. His originally vicious little claws were now abnormally obedient, and it was unknown if it was because of his influence that they were lying at his feet, looking quite like when a little black panther wagged its tail.

The round-faced girl stood behind him for a long time before she said, "Grandpa, do you want me to chase it out?"

The young lad called Young Master did not say anything, but bent down and carried Gu Shi'er in her arms, holding him up with one hand, as if she was looking at him, but she did not seem to be.

After a long while, his hands loosened and he let go of Gu Shi'er, saying softly, "Let it go."
