"Water." A low and hoarse voice was heard, startling the maid beside her.
Zhou Yun lay on the bed, feeling weak and sore all over, with a pale face.
The maid poured her a glass of water. She struggled to sit up, and after taking a sip of the water, she felt her throat better.
"Miss, are you feeling better?" the maid asked in a low voice.
Zhou Yun was still feeling a little uncomfortable and did not answer.
She leaned back against the cushions, breathing hard.
After a long while, she said word by word: "What time is it now?"
"My dear, it's almost noon now. The master came just now and brought you a lot of supplements. He also said that you should move to Yayuan."
Zhou Yun sneered, with a look of loneliness in his eyes.
Her father finally remembered her and wanted to be nice to her after she had dealt with a big trouble for his son.
Yayuan, you know it’s a good place as soon as you hear it.
Unlike her current residence, a dilapidated courtyard, the house rustled in the wind, and the door frame began to loosen. It didn't look like the residence of a rich lady at all.
But she has lived here for nearly six years, and it’s not easy to ask her to move out now.
She knew that as a concubine's daughter of the Zhou family, she should be grateful for the support of the Zhou family, but she was somewhat unwilling to accept the result.
They are both children of the Zhou family, so why does she live worse than Zhou Yi?
Now her father sent her supplements, perhaps to compensate her, but she didn't need them anymore.
Zhou Yun coughed, and her face finally turned red. "It's fine to leave the supplements there, but as for moving, I don't agree."
The maid wanted to persuade her, but when she thought that the master didn't care about the young lady and it was normal for the young lady to complain, she stopped persuading her.
The carriage sped past and soon arrived at the gate of Zhou's mansion.
When Zhou Kun heard from the servants that the Sixth Prince and the Little Princess were coming, he hurried to the door to greet them.
Mu Qingchen carried Mu Nanyan down from the carriage and was about to enter through the door when he saw Zhou Kun coming to greet him.
"I, Zhou Kun, pay my respects to the Sixth Prince and the Little Princess." Zhou Kun knelt down tremblingly.
Why did His Highness come here at this time? Was he here to settle accounts with him? He had no idea.
Mu Qingchen glanced at him with clear eyes and said nothing.
Zhou Kun felt like a thorn in his side and tried to keep calm, fearing that he would anger Mu Qingchen.
Until Mu Nanyan couldn't wait any longer, she pulled Mu Qingchen's sleeve, and Mu Qingchen nodded: "Get up."
"Thank you, Your Highness the Sixth Prince. Please follow me." Zhou Kun welcomed them in with a smile on his face.
Although Mu Qingchen treated him like that, he did not dare to neglect him.
In the hall of Zhou's residence, Mu Qingchen and Mu Nanyan sat on high seats, while Zhou Kun stood aside with his head lowered.
He carefully looked at Mu Qingchen's expression and waited for him to speak.
Mu Qingchen looked around and didn't see the person he wanted to see, so he frowned slightly.
Is Zhou Yun not at home today?
Zhou Kun caught a glimpse of his unhappy face and immediately understood, "Your Highness, are you looking for my daughter Zhou Yun?"
Mu Qingchen's expression faltered slightly, and he raised his voice and said, "Zhou Yun saved Yan'er yesterday, and Yan'er wanted to come and see her."
As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Mu Nanyan who was standing beside him.
Mu Nanyan received his eye signal and said meaningfully: "Yes, I came to see her. Master Zhou, your good son wanted to kill me, but your daughter saved me."
"If it weren't for her, your Zhou Mansion would have been gone long ago."
Zhou Kun knelt down in fear when he heard this. "Little princess, it's all my fault for not teaching my child well. Please spare my life for the sake of my daughter saving you."
Zhou Yi is Zhou Kun's son who was born in his old age. Zhou Kun has always doted on this son.
Normally, he would turn a blind eye to his minor actions, but now he would dare to kill the princess of a country.
If the emperor knew about this, he would kill all nine generations of his clan and his family would be finished.
After realizing the seriousness of the matter, he rolled over and knelt in front of Mu Nanyan, begging her to show mercy.
Mu Nanyan lowered her eyes, disdainful of his behavior. If I had known what you were doing, you shouldn't have educated your son well.
However, Zhou Yun was sensible and pushed her away, but he himself was seriously injured.
Zhou Yun hasn’t come for such a long time. Has something happened?
Mu Nanyan couldn't wait any longer, "Take me to Zhou Yun's residence."
"This..." Zhou Kun hesitated.
Someone has just been sent to call her, but she refused to come out.
This damn girl, even though we have distinguished guests today, she is so ignorant.
"What? Is she inconvenienced?" Mu Nanyan's tone suddenly became stiff.
Zhou Kun was frightened, as if he had committed an unforgivable crime.
He wiped the sweat off his forehead and said with an apologetic smile: "No way, I will take you there now, Princess."
He didn't expect that although the little princess was young, she was so imposing that even he, who was used to big scenes, felt a little scared.
Led by Zhou Kun, the group arrived at Zhou Yun's yard.
As soon as she stepped into the yard, Mu Nanyan frowned. Zhou Yun is a grown-up lady, but the place she lives in is too poor.
The house was dilapidated and the door creaked, it didn't look like a place where a young lady lived.
If Zhou Kun hadn't led the way, she wouldn't have been able to find this place.
The embarrassment on Zhou Kun's face flashed away. He had asked that rebellious girl to change rooms a long time ago, but she refused to listen. Now if others knew about this, they would accuse him of abusing his daughter.
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed the little princess and His Royal Highness. My little daughter is naughty and she doesn't want to live in Yayuan, but insists on living here."
Mu Nanyan said sarcastically: "Oh, I didn't expect the Zhou family is so poor that they let their daughter live in such a poor place."
"I just happened to bring some silver here today, how about I give it to you?"
