Looking at the benevolent smile on Nanny Lin's face, Chu Qinghuan instantly understood the reason why.

Amongst the five maidservants that the First Madame had gifted to him, Bai Ling was originally a third tier maidservant within the Listening Cloud Courtyard.

Xue'er was the girl he met when he first entered the manor, the maidservant of the Pleasant Garden. First Madame merely used her to remind him that the Wind-Wave Pavilion was in the past. Although that was the past, she still remembered it.

As for the girl, Xiu-Er and Xiu-Er had been sold to the House by poor people. They didn't have any foundation in the House. They didn't need to worry about it at all.

And Hong'er, her mother was the mother of the manager of Chu Changxi's Pleasant Garden. Following Chu Changxi's attitude toward her, Hong'er was almost another spy.

"Nanny Lin is joking, this elder does not dare to refuse, it is just that Old Mistress has bestowed Zhao Fen and Zhao Zi to me, what should I do about the flowers and birds in the Pear Fragrance Garden then? Also, who would like to make medicinal food for Old Mistress? "

Chu Qinghuan's face was full of worry, but Nanny Lin couldn't help but nod her head in her heart. As expected of someone that Old Mistress values, he was indeed a smart person.

"Don't worry Second Miss, Old Mistress has said it, since you have to go to the Pear Fragrance Garden to take care of it, bringing Zhao Fen along will be fine, it's just that this will be troublesome for Second Miss."

laughed when he heard it, bringing Zhao Fen along? If they were to serve a flower or bird, it would definitely not be a matter of time.

"Nanny Lin is too courteous, this is Qinghuan's fortune, Xiu-Er, follow your big sister Zhao Fen and send Nanny Lin back."

Nanny Lin paused for a moment, looked at the pretty girl, then said to Chu Qinghuan: "Second Miss, this girl's name cannot be used. Second Miss should give her a new name."

Chu Qinghuan was startled, as though she remembered something. Her face revealed a look of fear, and said, "It was my negligence, but Xiu-Er was bestowed upon her by my mother. I'm afraid that if I change her name, it might displease my mother."

After all, Nanny Lin was one of her trusted aides, she immediately understood what Chu Qinghuan meant.

First Madame clearly knew that Xiu'er had violated the Old Mistress's name, but she still gave her to Second Miss. The Second Miss, on the other hand, fell into a gap and changed her name, angering the First Madame. The Second Miss was in a dilemma, so he wanted to take advantage of himself. Firstly, he had an explanation for the Old Mistress, and secondly, he didn't directly contradict the First Madame.

With such a compromise, Nanny Lin could not help but feel sad in her heart. Usually, she felt that the First Madame favored her eldest daughter, and didn't care about the Fifth Miss. But now, in the Second Miss, she was born from the Prime Minister's family, and was even more pitiful than the Fifth Miss.

"Second Miss, since this little girl is now someone in your courtyard, it's naturally you who is in charge."

Chu Qinghuan was waiting for these words! Hearing Nanny Lin's words, her face also returned to normal, "Then why not change your name to You Er, what does Nanny Lin think?"

"It's good that Second Miss likes it." Nanny Lin laughed, and allowed Zhao Fen and You Er to send him off.

Nanny Zhou was a nimble person, and very soon, she had properly arranged all the random things in the Zhi Lan Institution. Naturally, Chu Qinghuan was not the least bit picky with regards to this. Only, Nanny Zhou knew that this master was not a simple person, and served him with all her heart.

When they went to pay their respects to the Listening Cloud Courtyard, First Madame's expression was obviously anxious. Just as Chu Qinghuan sat down for a while, she was invited to take care of matters in the residence. Only the sisters were left there.

"Second sister, if you have anything you need to tell mother, just say it. Why would you need to disturb the Old Mistress's recovery?" Chu Jinxiu was slightly dissatisfied, as if she was blaming Chu Qinghuan for tiring the Old Mistress to worry about her.

"Even if mother is busy, you can tell me, right?" Since the age of twelve, Chu Jinxiu started to follow First Madame and take care of Prime Minister's Mansion, many things were naturally easy to deal with.

Chu Qinghuan laughed disdainfully deep down, did she need the silver First Madame to give it to her? Would the First Madame send her clothes from the Four Seasons Tower? If she wanted the lives of mother and daughter, was First Madame willing to part with it?

How ridiculous.

"It's me, Meng Lang. Next time, I'll definitely bother you, big sister." Chu Qinghuan's bright eyes looked at Chu Jinxiu, and the curve of her lips made Chu Jinxiu's heart jump.

"She's just a country girl who doesn't know much about the world. Big sis, why do you need to be afraid of her?" Seeing that Chu Qinghuan had left, Chu Changxi could not help but sneer, and the gaze she shot at Chu Qinghuan's back with was indescribably vicious. This time, they had actually given Chu Qinghuan face. This made Chu Changxi feel like she was unable to swallow her resentment.

Chu Jinxiu slightly frowned, feeling somewhat unhappy in her heart. Why was she afraid of that girl? It was just that her gaze from before was too terrifying, causing her to be caught off guard.

"Do you have any other ideas?"

Chu Jinxiu's distrust infuriated Chu Changxi, and she immediately stood up, "I naturally have a way, it's just that it will require Big Sis to spend a little more."

Chu Jinxiu frowned once again, but she saw that Chu Changxi said confidently: "Since Mother and Old Mistress have bestowed this to Second Elder Sister, if we sisters do not gift this to us, it might harm our friendship, what do you think, Big Sis?"

Chu Jinxiu immediately understood what she was planning, but she still put on an act, "Of course, I already prepared a gift for second sister, it's just that things were delayed for a bit, and I didn't have the time to send it to her, since Third Sister has the same intentions as you. Bao Qin, go visit Second Miss. "

Bao Qin was a first-rate servant of the eldest young mistress, so the silver that Chu Qinghuan had given him couldn't be any lesser. Since that was the case, she could also send Qing Wen over, but it was a pity that she couldn't see the scene of Chu Qinghuan bleeding with her own eyes.

Chu Qinghuan did not know of Chu Changxi's scheme, so even if he knew of her scheme, he would not put it in her heart. Since the Old Mistress gifted the Nanny Zhou to him, she must have some outstanding points.

"Miss, what happened to you?" Noticing that Chu Qinghuan had stopped in her tracks, Cai Die could not help but ask.

Chu Qinghuan suddenly thought of something and touched her head. Her expression immediately changed, "Where did my hairpin go?"

Pink Butterfly and Zhao Fen both looked over, only to see that the butterfly hairpin that was originally on the hairpin had disappeared.

Chu Qinghuan's face was anxious, "Did it fall onto the dressing table? Zhao Fen, go back and look for her. If you can't find her, ask Tang Mei.

Zhao Fen replied and was about to leave when she pulled on her arm, "Miss, it's better if I go back and look for you. Maybe I fell into a jewelry box this morning."

Under her long sleeves, Chu Qinghuan clenched her left hand tightly. When the butterfly hairpin reached her fingertip, she felt a sharp, piercing pain.

After the pink butterfly left, Chu Qinghuan chose to walk along another corridor. Zhao Fen felt slightly puzzled behind her, but she did not say anything.

Just that, when she arrived at a deserted courtyard, Zhao Fen could not help but exclaim: "Miss, why are you here at Thousand Shadow House?"

The Thousand Shadow House was a desolate courtyard that had existed for more than ten years. This place was once the residence of the Prime Minister's Palace.

And this mistress, was the Prime Minister's wife, Chu Qinghuan's birth mother: Yun Jingchen.

Zhao Fen was the son of a family, so she had a little knowledge about the things that happened in the past. But didn't Second Miss get sent to the Sun family of Yunan City since young?

When Zhao Fen reacted, she saw that Chu Qinghuan had already moved forward, and the unlatched door was already filled with dust. Just as Chu Qinghuan was about to push open the door and enter, she was stunned.

There were obvious finger marks on the rust-green copper rings, and there seemed to be some noise in the yard.

"Little …" Looking at the stunned Second Miss, Zhao Fen had thought that she was afraid that the dust would dirty her clothes, and thus did not move. Just as she was about to step forward and open the gate, Chu Qinghuan grabbed her hand.

The sound became clearer and clearer inside the gate.

"Eldest Young Master, just you wait. This little one will roast some meat for you. Look at how plump and beautiful these cranes are. They'll definitely be very fragrant if you roast them." Young Master, you haven't eaten meat in a long time, do you want to? "

"Yes." Qing Yue's voice was childish, as if he was a small child.

"If you want, go over there and pull out the feathers of this crane. I'll start a fire here."

Unable to hear any more movements from inside, Zhao Fen looked at his Young Miss worriedly. Even though that person was being persuasive, she could tell from his tone that he was trying to harm the young master!

Eldest Young Master, he's the blood brother of the little miss and her siblings, but he's an idiot …

Chu Qinghuan's eyes shone with a dark light and she said in a low voice, "Go and lure the Sixth Young Master here, go quickly."

Zhao Fen hurriedly nodded her head. Because of First Madame's pampering, she hadn't moved into the front courtyard even though she was ten years old. She was still living in the back courtyard, so her Thousand Shadow House wasn't far away.

After Zhao Fen left, Chu Qinghuan's eyes immediately became stern, and her voice changed slightly, "Who is here?" As she finished speaking, the yard door creaked and dust immediately fell to the ground.

Hearing the sound, the servant who was lighting the fire was overjoyed. He didn't expect his mission to be completed so smoothly. Looking at the Eldest Young Master who was slowly walking towards the lotus pond, he ran away and soon disappeared.

As the dust settled, Chu Qinghuan slowly walked into the Thousand Shadow House.

The largest area occupied by the Thousand Shadow House was the lotus pond, but it seemed even more decadent in the midst of the lush greenery.

"Who is she …" With no one behind him, Chu Wenzhang turned around again and looked at Chu Qinghuan. Her face was filled with innocence and simplicity as she asked: "Who are you?"

Chu Qinghuan felt her heart ache.

In her previous life, she did not understand why Chu Siyuan was so mean to her. She had originally thought that she had already suffered enough at Yunan City, but she had forgotten that even though the Prime Minister's Palace was huge, there was no place for him to stay.

The foolish young master of the Prime Minister's Hall, the talented and astute Second Young Master of the Prime Minister's Hall, how could she think that the Residence would have even the slightest bit of warmth for her brother when compared to him? If there really was the slightest bit of warmth, then how would it be possible for her to, after entering the palace in his previous life, be plotted by the First Madame to personally kill the blood brother of one of his mother and brothers?

"Big brother, I'm Qing Huan. Do you still remember your sister?" Even though she knew that Chu Wenzhang was an idiot, Chu Qinghuan could not help but say with a gentle voice, both her eyes were filled with tears.

The completely dead crane was immediately thrown onto the ground. Chu Wenzhang ran over happily and hugged Chu Qinghuan, saying, "Qinghuan, Little Sister, Empress really didn't lie to me. I already have a little sister."

was not used to the sudden embrace, but she quickly regained her senses. Looking at Chu Wenzhang's bright eyes, she said word by word, "Yes, Empress did not lie to Big Brother.
