Chapter 29 She's Gone
Although it was night, the wedding of the Crown Prince of Chu was so grand that the streets outside the Marquis's mansion were bustling with activity, no less lively than during the day.
Zhou Chuanxing didn't want to linger too long, so he lifted the carriage curtain and helped Tang Xinuan into the car.
"Let's get out of here first."
Perhaps because she hadn't rested well these past two days, Tang Xinuan hadn't even climbed into the car when she suddenly felt dizzy.
She forced herself to sit in the car.
The light was dim, and Zhou Chuanxing couldn't see her face clearly. He felt that her body was light and floating, which seemed abnormal.
When he sat down next to the little girl and carefully observed her complexion, he noticed there was no sign of health at all, and his heart skipped a beat.
"you……"
Before he could finish speaking, the little girl suddenly fainted in his arms.
"Go to the Imperial Hospital immediately."
As he gave instructions to the driver, he noticed that Xiaoqian was climbing too slowly, so he casually gave her a hand.
Xiaoqian was terrified when she saw her mistress faint.
Crying, she crawled to her mistress's side, "Miss, what's wrong? Don't scare me. We finally escaped, and good days are just beginning, Miss..."
Zhou Chuanxing was agitated and scolded in a stern voice, "Stop crying."
Xiaoqian's crying stopped abruptly. She knelt in front of her mistress, her sobs caught in her throat, unable to continue, almost suffocating.
Unfortunately, Zhou Chuanxing was cold and serious, exuding an aura of ruthlessness that could kill anyone who stood in his way, making him even more terrifying than the young master. Let alone trying to reason with him, she could only endure it even if his breath suffocated her.
"Is your young lady unwell?" Zhou Chuanxing asked with a gloomy expression in the dimly lit carriage.
Xiaoqian was startled, but she finally felt relieved.
"Miss...Miss is usually fine, but she's been unhappy these past few days because of the young master's wedding..."
Worried that the man in front of her would be unhappy, she changed her words, "It's not that I'm unhappy, it's just that I felt neglected, and I felt uncomfortable. I was looking forward to coming out, so I was nervous and anxious, and I couldn't eat or sleep well..."
She had a feeling that the man in front of her was even more perverted than the prince.
They worried that the young lady, having just escaped one danger, would encounter another.
"Sir, the Marquis's residence has medicine. Why don't I take Miss back with me..."
In the dim light, Zhou Chuanxing gave her a chilling look.
Even though she couldn't see anything clearly, she felt a chilling killing intent.
She turned around and knelt down, begging God for protection.
May her daughter find a good husband and never suffer again.
The carriage sped along and soon entered the Imperial Hospital.
Zhou Chuanxing carried the person into the room and ordered the imperial physician on duty that night to examine him.
When Zhou Chuanxing returned to the capital last year, he had many injuries, all of which were treated by Physician Zhang.
It can be said that every wound on his body was left for the Great Zhou Dynasty.
As imperial physicians, they were naturally compassionate and merciful. How could they not do their utmost when they encountered such an injured person?
After that, he both respected and feared this young and decisive regent.
Today I saw the Regent carrying a little girl.
Full of curiosity, but not daring to ask a single question.
He carefully felt the girl's pulse, and his expression turned serious.
He had never seen such a young body so depleted before.
Seeing that he looked unwell, Zhou Chuanxing restrained himself and asked, "How are you?"
Physician Zhang dared not say more.
It was clear that the Regent's calmness was only on the surface; he was a physician with keen insight.
The regent clenched his fists, veins bulging, and trembled slightly.
This is an expression of extreme restraint and forbearance.
I'm afraid if he says one wrong word, he'll lose his head.
"Your Highness, this young lady..."
Zhou Chuanxing gripped the Buddha statue on his chest tightly. "Tell the truth."
Physician Zhang hurriedly knelt down, "It's not that I'm being negligent, but this young lady's health is severely compromised. If she doesn't receive timely treatment, she'll only be gone for the next year or two..."
One or two years...
Zhou Chuan felt dizzy and lightheaded, and his legs suddenly went weak.
He sat down, holding onto the chair.
After a long silence, he finally spoke: "Is there a way?"
Physician Zhang finally had a chance to prove himself. He patted his chest and said, "Your Highness, rest assured, as long as you take the medicine on time and follow my instructions, I guarantee you will recover within two months."
What does it feel like when a withered tree comes back to life?
What does it feel like to see a glimmer of hope after a period of darkness?
What does it feel like to cry tears of joy?
Zhou Chuanxing had been besieged for several days and almost suffered a complete annihilation, but he had never been as excited as he was now when he finally escaped.
He gazed at the calm-faced girl on the bed, a wave of bitterness washing over him.
It was both painful and sluggish.
"It's good that you have a solution, it's good that you have a solution. I have a large three-courtyard house in the west of the city, I'll give it to you."
"Your Highness, I thank you for your generous gift. I will do my utmost to cure this young lady," Physician Zhang said, tears streaming down his face.
A three-courtyard mansion where every inch of land is extremely valuable.
At least tens of thousands of taels of silver.
This shows how much the Regent loved this girl.
Zhou Chuanxing didn't forget to warn, "If even a single word of what happened tonight gets out, you know how I can handle it. Within the three clans, there will be no survivors."
High returns come with high risks.
Physician Zhang hurriedly kowtowed and promised, "Even if I am forced to undergo the most cruel torture, I will never utter a single word."
Zhou Chuanxing waved his hand: "Go write the prescription."
Xiaoqian followed Zhou Chuanxing into the house.
Now she finally knows who the other person is.
It turned out to be a prince.
No wonder the person who had been in contact with her lived in the Prince Duan's mansion.
The person standing before me must be Prince Duan.
Hearing that the young lady was seriously depleted, he panicked and didn't know what to do. But when he heard that the doctor had a solution, he relaxed a little.
However, the prince actually bestowed upon the imperial physician a large three-courtyard mansion.
This shows how much he cares about the young lady.
However, he also threatened the imperial physician's entire family.
Is he really not more ruthless than the young master?
Poor lady, it seems unlikely that you will escape from this tiger's den.
After writing the prescription, Physician Zhang ordered his most sensible apprentice to brew the medicine.
He stayed inside and continued his consultations.
"Your Highness, I have a question, but I'm not sure if I should ask it."
Zhou Chuanxing said seriously, "Just ask."
Physician Zhang hesitated, then said, “This young lady is too young to be in this state. My diagnosis is that she frequently consumes something that is considered to be cold in nature…”
Zhou Chuanxing looked at Xiaoqian with a cold eye.
Xiaoqian knelt on the ground, trembling, not daring to utter a single word.
Miss always eats simple food. If we're talking about cold foods, the only one is contraceptive soup.
But the fact that the prince brought the person out clearly shows that he likes the young lady.
If he knew that the young lady had already been with the prince and had drunk so much contraceptive soup, would he be able to tolerate her?
Even if it doesn't kill the young lady, but just prevents the imperial physician from treating her, she won't survive more than two years.
"explain."
Zhou Chuanxing gave a low shout.
Xiaoqian shuddered in fright.
Zhou Chuanxing tapped the table impatiently, "Don't make me say it a second time."
Xiaoqian would rather die than speak.
Just then, Tang Xinuan woke up. Zhou Chuanxing ignored her and rushed to the bedside.
He was extremely cautious, always feeling that the girl on the bed was like a porcelain doll, and that she would shatter if he exerted the slightest force.
"How about it?"
Tang Xinuan had been awake for a while, but she was too tired to open her eyes.
He stared at Zhou Chuanxing with a pale face, opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.
Zhou Chuanxing took a deep breath. "The doctor said you often eat a kind of cold food. Tell me so that the imperial physician can regulate your body."
“Yes…” Tang Xinuan was simple-minded, and she said it directly when she remembered, “Contraceptive soup.”
Zhou Chuanxing: "..."
Physician Zhang thought to himself that it did match up.
I just can't understand why the Regent would give such a sensitive young girl a contraceptive potion.
That's not a good thing.
Taking it once or twice is fine, but taking it too often can be fatal to the body.
No wonder she's so young and already so in debt.
Before Tang Xinuan could finish speaking, she was like a butterfly battered by rain, its wings injured, unable to fly anymore.
Am I going to die?
Zhou Chuanxing forced a smile, "How could that be? Doctor Zhang is very skilled. He said that as long as I listen to him, I can recover in two months."
Tang Xinuan was sickly and had little energy.
But she was very clear-headed.
One hundred and ninety-three bowls.
Zhou Chuanxing: "..."
Chu Yannuo, how dare he!
They're no better than beasts!
What did Physician Zhang hear?
Not to mention three clans, even nine clans are about to be wiped out.
Fortunately, he was deaf and didn't hear anything.
"This humble official has been feeling unwell lately, Your Highness. What did this young lady just say..."
Just then, the young imperial physician came over with a bowl of medicine and saved Physician Zhang.
Zhou Chuanxing took the bowl of medicine, intending to feed it to her himself.
Physician Zhang stopped him: "Your Highness, I have something else to say."
Zhou Chuanxing handed the medicine bowl to Xiaoqian, then turned to Tang Xinuan and said, "Be a good girl and take your medicine. I'll be right back."
Zhou Chuanxing followed the imperial physician to the outer room.
Faced with Zhou Chuanxing's raging anger, Physician Zhang trembled with fear, but there were some things he dared not remain silent about.
“Your Highness, this young lady is too physically exhausted and I’m afraid it will be difficult for her to conceive. I can see that Your Highness likes this young lady very much, but for the sake of offspring, we should make more preparations.”
Zhou Chuanxing: "Even if you recover, it won't work?"
The regent was becoming increasingly sinister, and Physician Zhang suspected that he was on the verge of collapse.
I dare not not reply, but I don't know how to answer.
"This humble official can only do his best."
Just when Physician Zhang thought Zhou Chuanxing was about to get angry, he saw him smile.
But the smile looked somewhat bitter.
"I don't like children anyway, so if we don't have any, then so be it."
Imperial Physician Zhang: "His Majesty has no son, you may..."
Noticing the Regent's expression turn cold, he hurriedly knelt down, saying, "This humble official has overstepped his bounds."
After drinking the medicine, Tang Xinuan lay down for a while and her energy recovered considerably.
"Xiaoqian, where are we?"
Xiaoqian felt sorry for her mistress, but was also worried that the prince was not a good person, so she replied absentmindedly, "Imperial Hospital."
Ignoring Tang Xinuan's reaction, she grabbed Tang Xinuan's hand and said, "Miss, let's escape."
Tang Xinu asked, puzzled, "Why?"
Xiaoqian glanced nervously at the door, but seeing that the prince hadn't entered, she whispered, "I always feel that the prince is even more terrifying than our young master. We finally managed to escape from the Marquis's mansion, and now that we're in his hands, what if we're even worse off than the Marquis's mansion..."
Tang Xinuan grasped the key point: "You said... he's a prince?"
Xiaoqian exclaimed in surprise, "You don't know? I just heard the imperial physician call him 'Your Highness,' he should be Prince Duan."
Tang Xinuan didn't know the prince, but he didn't think Zhou Chuanxing was a bad person.
“That’s not a good idea. He asked me for help, and I haven’t helped him yet. If I leave like this, he’ll be bullied by his tribe.”
Xiaoqian said anxiously, "We are just two unarmed girls. How can we care about the prince's family affairs? Besides, he has guards at home. Who can take him down? We just need to take care of ourselves."
Tang Xinuan still disagreed: "But I promised him, and he didn't break his promise to pick me up. I can't go back on my word."
Zhou Chuanxing stood at the door and heard the little girl say that she was going to keep her promise to him.
The tightness in my chest that had been bothering me all night finally eased up a bit.
Zhou Chuanxing carried the person back to the Qin Zheng Hall, his residence in the palace.
Tang Xinuan was extremely sleepy and fell asleep in his arms without waking up.
She only opened her eyes and glanced at him once, when he put her on the bed.
Xiaoqian and Tang Xinuan have lived and eaten together since childhood, so naturally they will live together now.
Zhou Chuanxing instructed her to take good care of Tang Xinuan and told her to ask the aunt at the door if she needed anything before returning to his room.
They are not far apart, separated only by a corridor.
The next morning, Tang Xinu woke up in an unfamiliar place. After a moment of confusion, she excitedly woke Xiaoqian, "We escaped! We're free!"
Xiaoqian was also a little confused. "Oh right, Miss, we're free."
Tang Xinuan suddenly realized, "Right, where are we now? What should we do next?"
Xiaoqian didn't know either; she always felt that the prince was more terrifying than the crown prince.
"Let's eat."
Thinking of the young lady fainting last night, she couldn't help but feel lingering fear. "Miss, you should take good care of your health now. The imperial physician said that your body is very weak and you need to rest well."
Tang Xinu moved her body and found herself feeling completely weak.
"Okay, let's eat first."
Soon, seven or eight palace maids entered the room; some helped with washing, some with combing hair, and some with dressing...
Even Xiaoqian doesn't have to lift a finger; someone waits on her.
“Miss,” Xiaoqian was overjoyed, “I’m so lucky to be with you.”
Tang Xinuan had a bright, sunny smile on her fair face. She sat in front of the dressing table, swinging her legs, and continued Xiaoqian's words, "I'm glad you like it."
After the master and servant finished getting ready, Zhou Chuanxing appeared at the door.
He didn't disturb the two people inside, and instructed the palace maids standing at the door, "From today onwards, you will take turns in three shifts to take good care of Miss Tang. If she gets fat, you will be rewarded; if she gets thin, you will be punished."
You may move around freely in the Hall of Diligent Governance, but you are not allowed to go to the inner palace.
Furthermore, if anyone dares to divulge even a single word about what's happening here, everyone involved will be punished.
At best, it means cutting out one's tongue; at worst, it means implicating one's family. This serves as a warning to everyone to stay within their bounds.
My men show no mercy.
Since the Regent moved into the Qinzheng Palace, two groups of palace maids have been executed.
Not a single person survived, from top to bottom.
Those who came in during the third batch, everyone knows how they will be punished.
Not only do they dare not speak recklessly themselves, but they also have to supervise others.
Anyone who discovers and reports this to him in advance will not only be exempt from punishment but will also receive a reward.
However, if they are not aware of the crime, they will be executed along with the perpetrator.
We're all just working people, isn't it better to live a good life?
At this moment, all the palace maids knelt down together, saying, "This servant will obey the king's orders and will take good care of Miss Tang."
Zhou Chuanxing nodded again to the palace maid behind him, and then went into the room.
Four dashing young women dressed in tight-fitting outfits followed him into the room.
They are two pairs of twins who look extremely alike.
It is difficult for unfamiliar people to tell the difference.
Zhou Chuanxing withdrew his murderous aura and unconsciously softened when he saw Tang Xinuan.
"Miss Tang, did you sleep well last night?"
"Okay," Tang Xinuan said, jumping off her chair as she noticed him. She moved with light steps like a cheerful little butterfly to him. "You slept soundly until dawn."
"As long as you sleep well," Zhou Chuanxing glanced at the four spirited young women. "From now on, you few will be responsible for Miss Tang's safety. If even one of you is missing a hair, you'll be punished yourself."
"Yes," the four girls said in unison.
Zhou Chuanxing waved his hand, and the four girls left the room.
Afterwards, Zhou Chuanxing took Tang Xinuan out to eat.
"I don't know what you like, so I just prepared something simple this morning. In the future, you can tell the three of them what you want to eat."
As soon as Zhou Chuanxing finished speaking, the three head palace maids responsible for taking care of Tang Xinuan came to her and introduced themselves.
"Miss Tang, this servant is Peony." The first to speak was a palace maid dressed in light purple.
"This servant is Bai Zhi." The woman in white spoke next.
"This servant is Banxia." The last to speak was a woman dressed in light green.
The three palace maids were all dressed in uniforms made by the Imperial Clothing Bureau.
They were exactly the same style, even their hairstyles were very similar. Luckily, their clothes were different colors, otherwise it would have been hard to tell them apart.
Xiaoqian, standing next to Tang Xinuan, was already starting to feel confused.
I couldn't tell the four apart at all.
Three more that are almost identical have appeared; who can stand that?
Luckily, the clothes are a different color today, just in case they change color tomorrow...
Tang Xinuan's focus was different from hers, and she said with some amusement, "They're all medicinal herbs."
Zhou Chuanxing was slightly surprised: "You know?"
Tang Xinuan nodded: "Peony can be admired, eaten, and used as medicine. White peony can nourish blood and regulate menstruation, astringe yin and stop sweating, while red peony can clear heat, cool blood, disperse blood stasis and relieve pain."
Angelica dahurica is warm in nature and pungent in taste. It can relieve exterior syndromes, dispel cold, expel wind and relieve pain, and clear nasal passages.
Pinellia ternata can dry dampness and resolve phlegm, relieve nausea and vomiting, and dissipate lumps and nodules.
After she finished speaking, she looked at the senior palace maids with a hint of smugness and asked, "Am I right?"
All three palace maids looked extremely surprised.
"Miss Tang is so clever; she's absolutely right."
Being praised made Tang Xinuan look at Zhou Chuanxing with great joy, "You've come to the right person by asking me to be your helper, haven't you?"
Zhou Chuanxing knew from the first moment he saw Tang Xinuan that she was no ordinary person.
Just as I expected.
"Miss Tang is my lucky star."
Tang Xinuan became even more smug, "Then you'd better treat me well."
Zhou Chuanxing personally placed a prepared meal in front of her, saying, "Please do me the honor of joining me, Miss Tang."
His voice was both gentle and magnetic, easily making a girl's heart flutter.
However, Tang Xinuan is not an ordinary girl.
Finding the plate full of her favorites, she happily accepted it, saying, "Thank you..."
She suddenly realized a problem: she still didn't know how to address this man.
"I should call you..."
Zhou Chuanxing hesitated for a moment, "I'm the second oldest, just call me Erlang."
Tang Xi, with her pure heart and straightforward manner, said, "Thank you, Erlang."
The maids serving the room could hardly believe that the regent, who was always ruthless and merciless, could be so gentle.
That's one thing, but how could he let a girl who had just entered the palace call him Erlang?
After breakfast, Zhou Chuanxing went to handle state affairs.
After taking her medicine, Tang Xinuan was served by the head palace maid, Shaoyao, and strolled around the small garden of Qinzheng Hall for a while.
She was physically weak and couldn't walk too far; after only the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, fine beads of sweat appeared on the tip of her nose.
Peony remembered the prince's instructions: if she fattened up, she would be rewarded; if she became thin, she would be punished.
“Miss Tang, it’s getting hot with the sun. Why don’t I help you go back to your room to rest for a while? You can come out again when it’s cooler in the afternoon.”
Tang Xinuan yawned.
Whether it was because she hadn't recovered her energy or because of the medication, she felt sleepy again just over an hour after waking up.
"All right."
Seeing that her mistress was sleepy, Xiaoqian instinctively reached out to help her, but Shaoyao snatched the hand away first.
She stared at the peony's retreating figure with resentment.
How come all these maids are so capable? They've taken all her work away from her.
Tang Xinuan slept until after lunch before waking up.
The moment she opened her eyes, she was so hungry that her stomach was practically sticking to her back. "Xiaoqian, I'm so hungry."
Xiaoqian hurriedly said, "The food is ready, I'll serve it to you right away..."
Before she could finish speaking, Peony had already brought in the food.
Xiaoqian felt a sudden sense of unease; was she about to be rendered useless?
After the meal, Peony promptly brought over a bowl of herbal soup.
The strong smell of bitter medicine could be smelled from a distance, and Tang Xinuan didn't want to drink it.
She avoided the peonies and even wanted to throw a little tantrum.
Xiaoqian coaxed and persuaded her to drink all the medicine.
Finally, she realized she was useful.
They shouldn't be abandoned in the short term.
For the first three days after Tang Xinuan escaped from the Marquis's mansion, she slept almost the entire time.
Xiaoqian was very worried at first, but after Doctor Zhang came several times and confirmed that Tang Xinuan was getting better, she felt a little relieved.
Thinking about the herbal soup that the young lady had been drinking these past few days, she felt like vomiting just from the smell.
It's simply unimaginable how the young lady managed to get through it.
I heard that this bitter medicine needs to be taken for two months.
She couldn't help but curse the prince a thousand times in her heart, hoping that one day he would be punished a thousand times more painfully than this.
Even the prince thinks the young lady is smart, but he thinks she's stupid, unfit to be a mistress, and unable to bear healthy children.
It's been several days since Miss Yi left. The young master must have found out. I wonder how he'll feel when he hears that the stupid person he despises has escaped right under his nose!
On the second day of the wedding, Chu Yannuo did not see his cousin and assumed she was still angry and throwing a tantrum.
Yesterday, I even wore white to congratulate him.
Of course he felt sorry for her.
But now that he has a wife, he has to consider her feelings to some extent, otherwise his cousin will be in an awkward position and cause a lot of trouble for no reason.
The little girl has been spoiled too much by him; it's good for her to learn a lesson.
After breakfast, he and his bride served tea to his parents.
The mother's expression was indifferent, but she did not neglect her manners.
He also gave the bride an heirloom bracelet.
This shows that they have accepted Wei Minxian as their daughter-in-law in the Marquis's household.
The third sister wasn't in a good mood, but she kept a straight face, so he didn't say anything.
We're all family now, we'll just have to work things out gradually.
Actually, things are fine in this family as long as the mother and sister don't cause trouble.
My cousin is the easiest to please. He can't be there today, but he can wait a couple of days. If he puts in a little more effort, she'll definitely treat him the same way she always has.
After all, her cousin couldn't live without him.
We'll still have to rely on him for our livelihood from now on.
Qingning didn't notice anything amiss that day. In the evening, she briefly reported the situation of the cousin to Chu Yannuo, and the two sides did not contact each other again.
On the third day of the wedding, Chu Yannuo still hadn't seen his cousin.
However, he has to accompany the bride back to her parents' home today.
This was his first visit to the Duke of Wei's mansion as a son-in-law, and he absolutely could not be impolite.
So he put all his energy into this matter.
I didn't have time to check on my cousin.
Besides, she lives in the Green Bamboo Garden; how could she possibly fly away?
However, after he returned from the Duke's mansion, his cousin never came to see him, which made him quite uncomfortable.
He spent two nights with his new wife, which did make him neglect his cousin a bit.
If she comes over tonight and acts cute with him, he will definitely treat her well.
Unfortunately, he did not see the sweet and gentle girl that night.
Before we knew it, it was already the fourth day of the wedding.
Chu Yannuo couldn't stand it anymore, so the first thing she did after getting dressed early in the morning was to go to the Green Bamboo Garden.
The girl was heartless; she didn't come to see him for several days.
He doted on her so much, wanting to give her the best of everything in the world.
Chu Yannuo hurriedly arrived at the Green Bamboo Garden.
To his surprise, the guards at Cuizhu Garden were very lax, and he passed through without any trouble, without even seeing a single person.
This shouldn't be the case; he specifically placed Qingning's several reliable aunts here.
"Cousin, your cousin has come to see you."
He entered from the outside, searching for his cousin.
"You lazybones, aren't you still asleep?"
"cousin--"
"cousin--"
Chu Yannuo searched all the houses, but not only did he not find his cousin, Xiaoqian was also nowhere to be found.
He must have gone to pay his respects to his mother.
Chu Yannuo was extremely anxious and rushed to the residence where the Marquis and his wife lived as quickly as possible.
Just then, Lady Hou finished washing up. When she saw him rushing in, she felt a strange sense of anticipation, as if she wanted to see her own son break down.
"Where's my cousin?" Chu Yannuo asked as soon as she entered the room.
In the past, the two cousins would sometimes not see each other for several days.
However, at that time he was certain that his cousin was in Cuizhu Garden, so even though he couldn't see her, he felt at ease.
But today, I suddenly felt a pang of anxiety for no reason.
Lady Hou had been waiting for this moment for a long time. "Your cousin is gone, and she'll never come back. Forget about her!"
She spoke softly, and after saying this, she carefully observed her son's expression.
Chu Yannuo clearly never expected to hear such words in his lifetime.
He paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Mother, this joke isn't funny. Tell me quickly, where did my cousin go?"
If it weren't for dire circumstances, how could Lady Hou bear to see her own son suffer?
But if we don't let my niece go, how will she face her parents and brother after she dies?
"Yan Nuo, forget about her, set her free."
How could Chu Yannuo possibly believe such a thing? "Mother, I know you're angry that I married Minxian, but I had no choice. My cousin is different from ordinary people. She can't be the head of the household, and she can't leave an heir for the Marquis's family. My father only has me as his son. What am I supposed to do?"
He was saddened by his mother's lack of understanding, but he still wanted to try his best to be a filial son.
"Mother, let's not talk about this anymore, just tell me where my cousin is."
Lady Hou repeated her statement: "She's gone."
"Impossible!" Even if the sun rose in the west, Chu Yannuo wouldn't believe that his cousin would leave him. "Mother, is it really necessary for you to joke like this... Did she go to find Third Sister?"
She had nowhere else to go.
The guards at Cuizhu Garden would not allow it to pass.
Only the third sister was cunning and domineering, capable of threatening and intimidating those servants.
"I'll go look for it at my third sister's place."
Chu Yannuo rushed to the residence where Chu Yanqing lived and searched inside and out several times, but he couldn't find his cousin anywhere.
He was truly panicked at that moment.
Even if his mother left him forever, as she said, he couldn't bear it, even if she only left him for a few days.
Where is my cousin?
He suddenly grabbed Chu Yanqing's collar, "Tell me the truth, where did you and Mother hide your cousin?"
Chu Yanqing had known all along that her brother was a madman, so when he suddenly grabbed her collar, she was neither surprised nor afraid; on the contrary, she felt a sense of pleasure.
"Brother, I warned you long ago that your cousin would leave you, but you just didn't believe me."
"Impossible, impossible," Chu Yannuo said in a daze, as if struck by lightning. "My cousin won't leave me, my cousin won't leave me."
