about her and her daughter. 。The Dowager Empress, who was also Murong Yue's biological mother, deeply hated them. She not only designed to say that Murong Ke'er's mother had a contagious disease, but..."That's the young master's carriage!"

"Yes, yes, young master is here!"

Two maidservants ran out of the courtyard happily.

"Master! We have already boiled water for you, Master. Please bathe first!"

"Master, why don't you eat something first The osmanthus blossoms are in full bloom right now. Your maidservant picked a lot of them and made some osmanthus cakes. Master, please try some" Two maids rushed over as soon as Su Wenhao stepped out of the carriage.

"Two older sisters, I rushed here all the way by carriage, is there any for me" Huai Ping asked, holding his riding crop.

"Hehehe, if you want to eat, make it yourself! Or, wait until you get married and have your little daughter-in-law cook for you!"

"Haha, that's right! Huai Ping, you look thinner recently. Is there a beloved someone you miss"

"Why didn't you bring your sweetheart to show her to us sisters, haha..."

Two maidservants giggled playfully.

"You all just tease me! Young Master, look at them!" Huai Ping stamped her foot in indignation.

"Oh, Huai Ping, why are you blushing"

"Yeah, yeah, is it a fever or just too stuffy weather"

"Haha, you're probably embarrassed because of what my sister and I said, aren't you"

"Hee hee, look at her..."

Two maidservants surrounded Huai Ping, laughing happily.

"Sir, look at them, they're getting more and more out of line. Don't you do anything about it..." Huai Ping's face was even redder.

"Heh heh..." Su Wenhao only smiled faintly, he turned and helped Chen Zixuan who was getting out of the carriage.

Two maidservants looked curiously at the woman getting out of the carriage...

"Whose young lady is this How did she end up like this..." One of the maids had just spoken when Su Wenhao glared at her warningly.

"Go prepare the clothes and pastries." The maid's attitude towards Chen Zixuan wasn't particularly warm, which made Su Wenhao somewhat displeased. Therefore, his tone of voice wasn't as gentle either.

"Zixuan, go take a hot shower first." Su Wenhao carefully helped Chen Zixuan into the yard.

Seeing Su Wenhao's protectiveness towards Chen Zixuan, the two maids felt quite uncomfortable. Seeing Huai Ping silently biting his lip and leading the carriage away, they quickly stopped him.

"Huai Ping, who is this woman"

"Yes, young master has never brought a woman back to the humble abode before. Who is she!"

“I... I’m going to feed the horses...” Huai Ping led the carriage, intending to go around the two maids.

"Don't let him go! Explain, how could the young master bring such a woman back!"

"That's it! Her hair is disheveled, her cheeks are swollen, and her nose...it's all bloody and bruised. Was she beaten..."

"Be careful, someone might overhear us..." Huai Ping glanced at the courtyard and whispered, "She's the one the young master met on the street. They chatted for a long time at Fengxiang Tower afterward, and became friends." Huai Ping said softly.

"Did the young master take her to Fenglou"

Huai Ping nodded.

"Young Master actually took her to Feng Lou! To the Minglan Yiyuan"

"Well, she went to the Minglan Ya間. The young master even took out his treasured Pu-erh tea to entertain her…" Huai Ping said softly.

"What's going on!" the maid's voice rose several decibels.

"Little Auntie, speak softly... be careful the young master hears..." Huai Ping covered the maid's mouth with his hand.

The maidservant wriggled free from Huai Ping's grasp. "Why Why can't I speak loudly I don't believe Young Master cares about her more than he cares about me!"

"I'm afraid the young master will be more concerned with her…" another maidservant spoke, coolly.

"How can this be! We've served the young master for so many years, how could we be less important than someone who's only known him for a few days…"

"Do you think caring for someone is because of time"

"Why wouldn't it be!"

"Then I ask you, young master, would you be willing to take a ride in this carriage with me"

That maidservant shook her head.

"Could you take me to the Wind Appreciation Tower"

The maid shook her head again.

"Could you ever look at someone with that kind of adoring gaze"

"Admiration... Is the young master looking at that woman with eyes full of admiration"

"Haven't you noticed The moment that woman stepped out of the carriage, the young master's eyes never left her... I think the young master must care about this young lady very much..."

"So what if she cares! Looking at her, it's hard to tell if she's pure or not. Do you think the young master would marry her Even if he was willing, the old master wouldn't agree. Hmph, I don't believe she can jump around for a few days!"

"Don't go too far..." Huai Ping warned, "Miss Chen is from the Fifth Prince's Mansion..."

"What, she's from the Fifth Prince's Manor I heard that a young lady came to the Fifth Prince's Manor who wasn't afraid of the Fifth Prince's poison... Could it be her"

Huai Ping nodded.

"I heard about it too, and I heard that the emperor even issued an imperial decree for her to accompany the Fifth Prince on his expedition. I presume the emperor's intention is to have the Fifth Prince marry her"

"Huh How could she have fallen to such a state…" The maidservant's jaw dropped in astonishment.

"The struggles of the royal family, how could we ordinary people know Better go boil some more water. I'm sure the young master will let that girl bathe first."

"Well, she... is actually quite pitiful..." The two maids said this and then stopped.

Huai Ping pursed his lips, curious about Chen Zixuan's appearance today. However, Chen Zixuan didn't speak, and the young master didn't ask, so as a servant, he couldn't say much...

"Hold on!" The maid suddenly exclaimed in a loud voice, then glanced at the courtyard before lowering her voice. "Didn't our young master also bring back the future Fifth Lady Then... will he get into some trouble"

"I'm afraid that even if there are troubles, Young Master will just accept them..."

"Oh... this can't be... I must tell my master!"

“You're crazy! If the old master found out, how could Young Master ever become the future head of the family You know those four grandfathers have always been eyeing the position of head. If your carrier pigeon is intercepted by the people of the four grandfathers, even if Young Master tried to explain himself, it wouldn't be clear!”

"This... what are we going to do We can't just stand by and watch the young master get caught up in the royal power struggle, can we We have to do something!"

"Now that everyone is back, what can we do... I just hope the Fifth Prince doesn't misunderstand!"

"What if the Fifth Prince misunderstands There's no way we can let Young Master be alone with her. Even if nothing happens, it could become a problem…"

"You make sense. Go boil some water first, and I'll go find Young Master."

"Mm-hmm, let's split up..." The two maidservants agreed and went their separate ways.

"Ai ai ai…" Huai Ping wanted to stop them, but he also knew he couldn't. Huai Ping lowered his head and sighed, "I'm afraid the young master would still find you disturbing him..."

Huai Ping lowered his head and led the carriage to the backyard.

Chen Zixuan's first feeling when he walked into this small dwelling was comfort...

This little dwelling doesn't look particularly large, but it is decorated with great elegance and reveals the owner's refined taste everywhere.

"Zixuan, take a shower first so you don't catch a cold..." Su Wenhao brought Chen Zixuan to his room.

Thank you, it's a lot of trouble...Chen Zixuan gestured with his hands.

"Zixuan, is there something you're not comfortable talking about" Su Wenhao had previously thought Chen Zixuan was just unwilling to share her experiences. But now, seeing her use gestures to communicate with him, he felt something was off...

Chen Zixuan bit her lip…thinking about whether to tell Su Wenhao the truth that she had already been rendered speechless…raightforward, sometimes even a little naive and cute…" Ruitian Yu seriously thought about Chen Zixuan's good qualities."Well, well, hearing Yu'er say so, Empress Ying should be relieved. However, as...
