"Chu Qinghuan, you damned girl, why aren't you washing your clothes right now?"

Helplessly putting down the brush in her hand, Chu Qinghuan ran to the well with a cute smile on her face, "Big Sister Qiao'er, quickly put it down, I'll wash now."

Originally, she did not have much self-awareness towards her own appearance, but ever since the Elder of Zhizhou had picked up Chu Qinghuan from the ruined temple half a year ago, she immediately felt that it was a huge blow to her, and after that, she vented her anger on Chu Qinghuan.

Chu Qinghuan was already fourteen years old this year, and Xiao Yu, at the age of clear and bright, seemed to have grown a bone long. The old clothes she wore already looked a little small.

Qiao'er walked around the well, seeing Chu Qinghuan who was rubbing his clothes with all her might, she suddenly grabbed the clothes in her hands and shouted: "You damned girl, you actually wanted to destroy my clothes? Young Miss, look at this, how much of this high-quality Shu silk has been ruined by her? "

The young miss of the Zhi Zhou family stood at the window, seeing the deformed Shu Yi, she was instantly enraged. Not caring about etiquette anymore, she quickly walked to Chu Qinghuan and scolded him loudly: "You …"

But, all these words vanished without a trace when she met that pair of pitch-black eyes.

Those eyes, why did they grow on a girl who was only fourteen years old?

Those eyes seemed to be looking at him, pitying him; they also seemed to be looking into the distance, filled with endless sorrow.

"Hey, Chu Qinghuan, why aren't you kowtowing to the young miss?" Qiao'er did not know why, but she knew that she had grasped this opportunity perfectly. According to the young miss's liking for Shu Xi, she would definitely chase this damned girl out of the mansion.

As she said that, she pulled on Chu Qinghuan's arm and was about to push him down, when she heard a loud shout not too far away, "Stop, hurry up and stop!"

Chu Qinghuan looked over when she heard it, and it was the owner of Yunan City, Zhi Zhou, who had an anxious expression as he walked over, "Go lock this girl up in the woodshed. If you don't give her food for three days, let's see if she can understand the rules!"

Qiao'er did not expect that the lord Zhizhou would punish her. She immediately pulled the little miss, and her lifesaver kneeled on the ground.

"Daddy, what did Qiao'er do wrong to punish her like this? In order to punish her, father has to first ask her whether she agrees to it! "

He only thought of the person waiting outside, and stared at his daughter instead as he said to Chu Qinghuan with a smile on his face, "Second Miss, this official has eyes but did not recognize the ornamented gold and jade, I hope that Second Miss will forgive me. The person who came to pick up the young miss has arrived, so young miss might as well take a break for a bit, and then go …"

Someone had come from Beijing?

Chu Qinghuan did not expect that the capital did not send someone over immediately after hearing of Chu's death, nor that the person who came when he was fifteen years old like in his previous life had come. Instead, the person was from the Yunan City who brought him back to the Palace a year earlier.

It was a good thing though. What should come would come eventually. Even if they didn't come, he would find an opportunity to go back.

"Daddy, why are you being so respectful to this damn girl? What kind of Miss is she?"

As if afraid of angering Chu Qinghuan, she immediately explained: "Shut up, this is Second Miss."

"Prime Minister's Mansion Second Miss? If she was a Second Miss, I would still be a Empress! "

He instantly wished that his daughter would be a mute when she was born. He looked at Chu Qinghuan for help, hoping that she would pretend that he did not hear the words that she said earlier.

No matter how confused he was, he had still brought him to the prefecture for his own sake. No matter how stupid his daughter was, he still loved her dearly. Chu Qinghuan was very clear, she knew how to repay kindness very well.

"I still need to trouble Lord Zhizhou to give me a new set of clothes and jewelry."

[Is this considered as over and done with?] Just as he was about to agree, he heard that young and tender female voice sound deep and heavy, "Next time, Miss, if you speak any nonsense again, I'm afraid that even if you have ten heads, you still won't be able to save this young miss's life."

The legs of the lord of Zhizhou suddenly froze. He looked at his daughter who was stunned on the spot and couldn't help but let out a sigh. However, he quickly caught up to Chu Qinghuan's footsteps.

The carriage parked in front of the Zhizhou Mansion was very simple and honest. However, the word 'Chu' was especially conspicuous on the lantern hanging in front of the door.

The person waiting in front of the carriage was someone she was familiar with. It was the Nanny Zhou who came to pick her up from the Sun family in her previous life, the First Madame.

"This servant greets Second Miss." Nanny Zhou could not be considered as First Madame's trusted aide. On the surface, she looked fat and amiable, but in reality, she was the one who had the most benefits. With her blessings, the golden hairpin on her head and the golden earrings on her ears started to shake.

"Thank you, mother." The corner of Chu Qinghuan's mouth curved up as she dodged the bow. She was very clear that the Nanny Zhou was sent by the First Madame to spy on them, even though the eyes and ears weren't very smart.

At the start, when First Madame asked her if she was willing to come to Yunan City to bring Second Miss back, Nanny Zhou did not agree immediately. Instead, when she went back to tell the couple about this matter, she did not expect that her husband, who had always been obedient to her, would actually look at her with an unyielding gaze.

"I say, why are you so stupid? This was killing two birds with one stone. No, this was a matter of killing three birds with one stone, how could you be so foolish? Quickly, go and reply to Madam. You will go to the Yunan City tomorrow to bring Second Miss back. "

Nanny Zhou gave her a pinch, "Yunan City to the capital will take less than half a month, my bones can't bear this kind of torture."

"Are you stupid? Let's not talk about the reason why Madam came back to bring Second Miss back, it was Madam's orders that had to do with you. If you're not going, I see that you ate an ambitious leopard before daring to disobey Madam!" Liu Shun was an outer court steward of the Prime Minister's Estate. Because his wife, Guan Yan, had a reputation outside, he had not been doing well all these years.

"Second, look at the Sun family's fire. Second Aunt also went to the ground to see the Old Master. Second Miss, who was only eleven years old, escaped that calamity. If she's really smart, you can find a way for us to escape, right? "

Even if Nanny Zhou was an idiot, she was still enlightened. "Then what do you think the other benefit is?"

Liu Shun twiddled with the candle flame, his eyes flickering with fire. "Of course I'm asking for directions."

suddenly came to his senses as he felt someone tugging at his clothes, and immediately replied with a smile: "Second Miss is very alluring, even this servant does not recognize you."

Chu Qinghuan lowered her head, as if she was shy. The Nanny Zhou did not recognize her. Since she was born, she had left the Chu Residence and left the capital at the age of four. It had already been ten years, how could she recognize him?

Seeing Chu Qinghuan casually getting on the carriage, Nanny Zhou also quickly got on the carriage.

The carriage was as luxurious as ever, indicating its owner's status. However, Chu Qinghuan did not care about all these, after all, in his previous life, Huangfu Jing had brought this Great Zhou up to him, to please him, and she did not care about how luxurious the Chu Clan was, the fear and trepidation in his previous life, naturally it would not appear again.

The horse carriage steadily sped towards the capital. It had only been a day's rest since the Luo Zhou City was only half a day away from the capital.

"Second Miss, this servant has instructed Madam Fang to bring a few girls. Would you like to choose one of them?"

This woman had probably been waiting here for a long time, naturally she had obeyed the orders of the First Madame. Chu Qinghuan frowned, she was also in the Luo Zhou City back then. When she heard Nanny Zhou's words, she was wild with joy, after all, when she left the Sun family, she was only with the Chu, a stupid girl.

"I'm a bit tired, so I won't go over to take a look. The Nanny Zhou knows how to be an old Taoist, so I'll have to trouble you to take a look."

Nanny Zhou did not expect this master to be so outrageous. He waved his hand and did not care about anything, and after being stunned for a moment, he laughed: "This servant understands. Then Second Miss will rest early."

Looking at the Nanny Zhou closing the door, the fatigue on Chu Qinghuan's face disappeared. Since First Madame had already arranged for him to go, what difference was there whether she went or not? Besides, she reached into her bag and pulled out something. There was a hint of coldness in her eyes. She was very busy.

Sure enough, the two people that Nanny Zhou chose didn't come from the same place as she remembered them.

"Second Miss, this is a thrush, this is a pink butterfly."

The butterfly was tall and slender with a comfortable air between her eyebrows. Compared to her, the butterfly looked much more petite. She also seemed to be a timid person.

"Mm, it's been hard on you, Nanny Zhou." Chu Qinghuan looked at the two people beside the horse carriage, and allowed Tantai Mei to support him as she walked into the carriage.

Luo Zhou City was the city's gate, and it was only six hours away from the capital. Chu Qinghuan knew what the First Madame's intentions were, it was just that she had made preparations to return this time!
