Sitting in her room, she sized up her maidservant. She didn't care about the decorations in the room at all. Whether it was something that belonged to her or not, she wouldn't feel it if she saw too much of it.

On the contrary, the girl in front of him had piqued her interest.

"You're called Ling'er?"

"Yes, miss."

They had met once in the Imperial City and said that she was his personal servant girl. He even said that their relationship was very good. There was no hesitation in her reply. The way she lowered her head and looked at him gave her the impression that she was just an ordinary maid. But she knew she wasn't. Even though she appeared the same on both occasions, she could still feel that something was different.

One of the things she had learned before was to look at people. She had to see their expressions clearly and not recognize the wrong person. The people these days all cherish their lives. Those big bosses all have their own bodies. If you don't pay attention to them anymore, then if you kill the wrong people, you just have to wait for yourself to be killed.

Although the person in front of her did his best to suppress the difference, it still gave her some clues. She was born with it. Her five senses were naturally sharper than other people's. If there was even the slightest bit of change, she would be able to sense it. That was why she felt shocked the moment she was killed. She had never felt murderous towards someone who wasn't on guard, but she still thought it was just her imagination. It seemed that she had really trusted her partner too much.

He intentionally released the pressure from her scrutiny. He still didn't feel uncomfortable at all. He didn't even show the slightest trace of discomfort.

"Enough, stop pretending. I'm tired of watching all this."

The moment he said those words, his calm face suddenly changed. A foolish smile appeared on his calm face, along with a shameless expression. This change made her slightly raise her eyebrows in surprise.

"Miss Smelly, you really have the nerve to scold me. The moment you walk in, you look at me with a darkened face. I thought you were angry, so I sneakily ran over to find you."

Cheng Zi Yuan looked at the person who was acting coquettishly towards him and felt that she seemed much more normal now. That feeling of disharmony was gone. Hearing the intimacy in her words, he guessed that the two of them had a good relationship.

"You know about it too?!"

The slightly strict words immediately caused the eyes of the man in front of him to turn red as he tugged on his sleeve, feeling wronged. In the end, he mumbled, "I was still worried about you. Who told you not to come back after such a long time and leave her alone in the house of the Marquis. Don't you know that there are man-eating demons here?"

This girl's argument gave her a bitter smile. Demons? She had been transported to this continent for so long, yet she hadn't discovered the slightest bit of fantasy. Of course, she hadn't forgotten about her Discipline. This was something she had to find out.

Her words made her think of what Cheng Huaiye had said previously. She seemed to understand that the 'she' from before did not live in the house of the Marquis. As for the girl in front of him, it was clear that he had stayed behind because he wanted to go to Helian Xuanyin's side and was worried that she would be in danger.

"I'm not blaming you. Don't you know that it's dangerous outside?"

Upon hearing the change in her tone, the girl's face instantly changed. While she was amazed at the speed at which she was changing her face, she was even more surprised that, in the midst of her obsequious smile, she seemed to see the ears on her head and the tail wagging behind her. Being struck by her own thoughts, she hurriedly shook her head.

At this moment, the little girl had already ran over to her side and stood there. She still did not touch her.

"Young miss, young miss, I knew young miss was the best. I wouldn't abandon Ling'er." It's all because of that young master of the house, always saying that the young miss had already died long ago and didn't want Ling'er, causing Ling'er to die from sadness. Although I know that the young miss won't die and I won't abandon Ling'er, I still worry and that's why I ran out. "

A cold light flashed in her eyes when she heard her words, "The young master of the house said she was dead." She had a premonition that her future life wasn't as peaceful as she thought it would be.

"Alright, stand still. Tell me, what happened?"

Just as he finished speaking, he heard a 'bang'. He was stunned for a moment and immediately reacted. This was the sound of someone knocking on the door. He didn't get up and saw the girl in front of him looking like she was here again.

"What's going on?"

Ling'er shrugged her shoulders and looked at her helplessly. "That so-called young master has come to cause trouble again. I don't know why he would have the time to come here all day."

Her words made Cheng Ziyuan slightly frown, as he didn't understand the current tempo. Since it was this young master, then this person should be her big brother. Even though he didn't want any brotherhood or brotherhood, at the very least, they should be living together peacefully. So, what if they were a family? However, from Ling'er's words, it was clear that her thoughts were one-sided.

Before she could clear her mind, she saw an arrogant man walk in. Although it seemed to her that his nostrils were about to reach the skies, she had no choice but to admit that the person before her was a beautiful man.

Her fair skin, sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and thin and slender lips were surprisingly very seductive. When she looked at such a person, she immediately thought of a word, "Exquisite". At the thought of this, she couldn't help but tremble. It wasn't that she didn't like it, it was just her personal preferences. She still couldn't quite accept it.

Cheng Jun and the moment he entered the door, he saw Cheng Zi Yuan sitting there steadily. His sister, whom he had not seen for more than ten years, had long grown up. The scene before his eyes made him slightly flustered. The Cheng family wasn't ugly, and Zi Yuan's mother had been known as the "North Yue duet" back in the day. Her looks naturally wouldn't be bad. However, no matter how much mental preparation he had made, the moment he saw her, he was still shocked. He thought that his beauty was already rare, but when he saw the purple garden, he was shocked to discover how dangerous it was.

The person before him was prettier than him, making him feel even more displeased. Ever since she was young, she had always been above him. She was clearly the eldest son of the family, but everyone only saw her in their eyes. Even after she had left, he could still hear her rumours in the streets. It was fortunate that she was not a man. Even though he existed, he was always ignored by others. He should be the guard of the crown prince, but the old fogey would rather send her there than give her a chance. A woman doesn't end up getting married. I don't know why the whole world likes him.

Cheng Jun and Zi Yuan didn't know what he was thinking, but after seeing their so-called big brother come in, he looked at her with an unfriendly expression, and the anger on his face was growing. She had a feeling that if possible, he wanted to skin her flesh and tear her tendons apart and swallow her whole. He looked at the person in front of him with some confusion. It was true that he had never offended him before, but he didn't know whether the previous owner of this body had or not.

"Ling'er, have I offended him before?"

If he didn't understand, he would have to ask. Fortunately, he had someone who understood him very well.

"Tsk, how could we possibly offend Miss? Miss left the house of the Marquis to study at the age of six. She just left the mountain not long ago to return to the Northern Yue with the crown prince. "This is the first time you've returned to the house of the Marquis since returning."

Such an answer made her even more puzzled.

Cheng Jun and the others didn't know that the person in front of them had already changed. When they entered, their expressions changed.

Cheng Zi Yuan had never taken his eyes off him. He had been staring at him ever since he entered the room. As he entered, the anger and hatred on his face turned into mockery. The mockery in his eyes became more obvious. The smirk on his face was hard to ignore.

She looked at the combination of three expressions on his face and felt a sense of fear, a fear that if she wasn't careful, his face would be ruined by the excessive distortion.

"Little sister, it looks like your mother is still very good to you. Those trash that she doesn't want are all with you."

The two words "your mother" made her freeze for a moment. Suddenly, she recalled that before Cheng Huaiye left, he had said, "You're blaming me for marrying your second mother." This way, she understood his current attitude. It was just the vulgar Xiao San entering the door, the final story of how he angered the legal wife to death.

"Hey, do you think that when you come back this time, you'll stay in this embroidery building until you get married? "No, that's not right. You're so fierce, how could you possibly get married out? It looks like you'll have to stay here for the rest of your life."

Cheng Zi Yuan looked impatiently at the person before him who was showing off his strength. He didn't know where the words coming from from her came from. As for the current her, she knew nothing about the Hou clan. In order to avoid making mistakes, she only listened quietly and did not express any opinions. As for the little girl beside her, she was no longer someone who could keep her cool.

"Fuck you, you're the one who can't get married out. My family's young miss has been chasing after too many people." Do you think you can be like me? With my looks, I'm sure you won't be able to marry your wife, and now you want to rob my Young Miss's husband? "

Ling'er's words caused both of their expressions to change. However, one of them was surprised, while the other paled instantly.

"I'm telling you, Cheng Zi Yuan, since you're back, obediently be your princess. If you go out and cause trouble again, let's see how my mother will deal with you."

After saying those harsh words, he glared fiercely at Cheng Zi Yuan, but she merely watched on indifferently. To be exact, she was admiring the expression on his face. It was hard to imagine a person with so many different expressions on his face at the same time. Resentment, embarrassment, injustice, disgust...

She really did not understand what she had done to make him hate her so much. He did not try to conceal his disgust for himself. After leaving home, how could a six year old child do something so infuriating that he would force a person to hate him for so many years?

Cheng Jun's heart was burning even hotter as he looked at her indifferent expression. Ever since he was young, no matter how much he bullied her, she would always look at him coldly, as if she was looking at a joke. She was the one who had been beaten, so why did she have such a haughty and aloof expression? This made him feel that she was a joke.

He angrily kicked the table in front of him.

"I'm telling you, Cheng Zi Yuan, that since you've entered this door, you must be prepared to receive my attack."

With that, he turned and left.

Cheng Zi Yuan looked helplessly at the departing figure. He did not take his words to heart. Most of them were speechless. It was only the first day since he returned home, yet such a thing had already happened. He could already foresee just how chaotic his life would be in the future.
