In the carriage, the old man sat solemnly, with no expression on his face. Jun Shutong was so nervous that he forgot to talk to the system.
Soon, the carriage stopped and the old man lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage.
【Host, hurry up and follow. 】
The old man paused, looked back at the carriage, looked around, shook his head and continued walking.
When the old man turned around, Jun Shutong was so scared that he didn't dare to breathe. He thought he had been discovered.
What's wrong with my grandfather? He's so jumpy. Could he be going through menopause?
[Don't worry, he can't see you. If you don't catch up, your grandfather will be gone.]
She quickly followed with her short legs. The old man walked very fast and only stopped after passing through two alleys.
[Qi Mansion?]
"Greetings, Your Excellency the Duke."
"Please come in, sir."
[Host, hurry up, the door is about to close. ]
At the moment when the door of Qi Mansion was about to close, she squeezed in.
The servant led the old man to the study, where three people were already sitting.
"Your Excellency the Duke, you are here."
Jun Shutong was still curious about why her grandfather came to the Qi Mansion secretly when she saw the study door slam shut.
In order to find out whether it was Qi Mingxiao's residence, she put her ear to the door and eavesdropped.
For some reason, she clearly saw her grandfather enter from here, but after listening for a long time, there was no sound.
[System, why can't I hear you? ]
"They seem to have entered a secret room. If you go in now, you'll definitely be discovered. It's your fault for being so slow."
Jun Shutong felt it was boring and was about to go back, as she was also hungry.
"ah!"
As soon as I turned the corner, I heard a maid screaming.
"Who are you?"
"Whose family are you from? Why did you end up in the Qi Mansion?"
Jun Shutong: [Oops, the invisibility potion is no longer effective.]
[System, didn't you say this potion lasts for half an hour?]
The system said uncertainly: [The time should be about the same! ]
"Sister, don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person."
"Well, do you believe me when I say I sleepwalked here?"
The maid gave her a look that said "Do you think I believe it?" and turned around to call the guards and the steward.
A moment later...
"You said you were Miss Jun?"
"Yes, uncle, I came here with my grandfather."
The butler looked at her appearance and found that she was indeed as rumored, with black hair, black eyelashes, and black eyebrows. In addition, the Duke had indeed come to the mansion today, so he believed it.
Whether it's true or not, no matter how she got here, we'll know once the Duke comes out.
"Uncle, do you have any food at home? I'm hungry."
"I'm not picky about food. I like Eight Treasures Cake, Crispy Duck, and Pickled Chicken Feet. Oh no, if there's no Pickled Chicken Feet, I'll just eat Braised Pork Knuckle."
The housekeeper thought to himself: You are not picky about food, you are here to order food.
Later, Jun Shutong ate the meat buns.
【Why is Lord Qi so poor? 】
How much can a little kid like me eat? I can't finish a whole table of food, but they only give me steamed buns. Old Qi is really stingy.
[Host, this Qi Mingxiao is really poor.]
"You saved him and his son last time by fortune-telling. They spent all the family's gold coins on medical treatment. Then, on your birthday, he gave all the goodies in the mansion to the Jun family, so now the Qi family can only eat two meals a day."
Jun Shutong was shocked: [How could the dignified Minister of Personnel and the President of the Imperial Academy be so poor? Alas, it's all my fault.]
[Host, you are right. It's just that the Qi Mansion is too poor. We won't come here anymore.]
[Yeah, you're right. I won't come.]
She ate the bun in a few bites and said to the housekeeper, "Uncle, my mother doesn't know that I followed my grandfather out. Can you send someone to tell my mother?"
"Okay Miss Jun, I'll have someone notify Madam Jun right away."
"Thank you, uncle."
In order to avoid being spanked by her mother, she actually had a change of heart this time and knew to notify her.
The system sighed: The host has grown up.
Half an hour later, Qi Mingxiao hurried over with the old man, followed by two other adults.
"Tongtong?"
"Miss Jun?"
The old man and Qi Mingxiao were full of questions. Why was this little ancestor here?
"Grandfather, you're here! Let's go back quickly. No one here cooks for me. They only feed me buns. Hiccup, we're so poor."
She burped and climbed onto the old man.
Servants of the Qi Mansion: You have eaten all the buns. Tonight the master and the young master can only drink porridge with us. You still have the nerve to say that the Qi Mansion is poor.
Qi Mingxiao was ashamed: He was really poor recently. If he had known that Miss Jun was coming, he would have prepared a feast even if he had to borrow money.
The old man picked her up and said, "Tongtong, why are you here? Who did you come with?"
Servants of the Qi Mansion: Look, it turns out that the Duke can also play with children. Although we didn’t see how you brought Miss Jun in, we won’t expose it.
"Grandfather, I came here in my sleepwalking state. I woke up and found myself here. I don't know how I got here."
Seeing her clear and innocent eyes, the old man almost believed it, and the next second he heard her complaining to the system:
My grandfather is so easy to fool. If he knew I followed him invisibly, he would be terrified.
【Quack, quack, quack.】
The sound of wild ducks made several people laugh heartily in their minds.
The old man was speechless and shocked: [Invisible?]
Is this the kind of invisibility he imagined, invisible to others?
