Feiyanggu Mansion
Fei Yanggu's wife, of the Jue Luo clan, the fourth daughter of Beizi Muerhu, was now glaring fiercely at her second daughter kneeling in the Buddhist hall, her face ashen, as if this daughter were not her own child whom she had carried for ten months.
Where did your sister go?
The little girl, with a stubborn, stern face, knelt ramrod straight without uttering a word. "Mother," she said, "I don't know where my sister went. She only said she was going out today."
Jue Luo looked at her second daughter, whose appearance was inferior to that of her eldest daughter, gritted her teeth, and said coldly, "You are the younger sister, don't you know where your older sister went?"
"You, you're really my nemesis! Giving birth to you almost killed me, and after all these years of trying, I still haven't been able to conceive..."
The little boy glanced at Jue Luo Shi but didn't say anything.
Jue Luo spoke up again indignantly, "It's one thing that you're not as pretty as your sister, but you also have such a personality that I don't know who you got it from. You're not likable at all. Giving birth to you is truly my sin."
"、、"
The little one rolled his eyes.
The maids and servants behind Jue Luo naturally ignored her words.
Anyway, over the years, they have long been used to it. Whenever the lady is unhappy, or whenever it concerns the Fifth Princess (the eldest daughter of the Jue Luo clan is the fifth daughter of Fei Yanggu), she will act this way.
Both born to the same lady, the Fifth Princess and the Seventh Princess (another daughter of the Gioro clan) were only a year and a half apart. The Fifth Princess was proficient in all arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, singing, and dancing. At only nine years old, she could already perform the Dance of the Startled Swan quite well.
As for the Seventh Princess, a seven-year-old girl, she only knew how to read and write.
Half an hour later
An old woman rushed into the courtyard and whispered a few words in Jue Luo's ear. Jue Luo immediately changed her expression from sinister to gentle, smiling, and said, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."
"Someone, keep an eye on the Seventh Princess and make sure she kneels for the full two hours."
After giving the instructions, Jue Luo led her maids and servants, a large group of people, out of the Buddhist hall. The little girl who had been kneeling in the Buddhist hall with a serious expression let out a long sigh of relief.
The girl then glanced at the area under the incense table with a stern face.
"Come out quickly! You've been hiding down there for so long, don't you feel stuffy? Whose young master are you, daring to sneak into the Ulanara family's backyard? Be careful, or Lord Feiyanggu will arrest you and take you to the authorities!"
Upon hearing this, Yin Chu's expression froze.
With a quick glance around his eyes, Yin Chu smiled and said, "You said this is Fei Yanggu's residence? Are you Fei Yanggu's daughter? What is your relationship with Fu Cun...?"
"You know Fei Yanggu? And you know Third Brother?"
The girl looked at Yin Chu curiously, thinking that this person looked like a young master from a wealthy family. He was about the same age as her. Third brother, third brother is eight or nine years older than her.
How did he meet his third brother?
Upon hearing this, Yin Chu laughed and said, "You call Fu Cun 'Third Brother,' so you're his sister. Tell Fu Cun not to make a move on my sister, or I won't let him off the hook."
The little girl blinked and looked at Yin Chu.
"Coo coo, coo coo, coo coo,"
The sound of a cuckoo came from outside. Yin Chu paused for a moment, then spoke again, "Remember to tell Fu Cun not to make a move on my sister. My sister will not marry him."
"And you, little girl, your mother doesn't like you. From now on, don't suffer in silence. You must tell Fei Yanggu and let him stand up for you."
After a pause, Yin Chu took off the jade pendant from his waist and handed it over, saying, "Here, take this. If there's anything, you can go to the Jingzhao Prefecture to find the Fourth Master."
"Young Master Si has left. He'll come to see you another day, little girl."
After saying that, Yin Chu ran out of the Buddhist hall, while his youngest daughter, Fei Yanggu's seventh daughter and the second daughter of the Jue Luo clan, stared blankly at the jade pendant in her hand.
Jingzhao Prefecture? Young Master Si and Little Maid?
This guy is really interesting. He looks only a year or two older than me, yet he calls himself Little Fourth Master and even said he'd go to the Jingzhao Prefecture to find Little Fourth Master. Does he even know which way the gates of the Jingzhao Prefecture face?
Did he know that his eldest brother, the eldest son of his father's first wife, was working in the Jingzhao Prefecture?
Shaking her head, the little girl tucked the jade pendant into her sleeve and knelt before the Buddhist hall, pretending to repent sincerely.
Outside the Buddhist hall, Yin Chu saw the little girl carefully placing his jade pendant.
Responding twice to the air with "quack, quack," a black-clad guard appeared before Yin Chu and quickly led him away from Fei Yanggu's residence.
Separated by a wall, Xingchan and Fucun exchanged a furrowed brow and thought to themselves that the house was certainly lively today.
Not only are there cuckoos, but also wild ducks...
In the palace
Xu Lejin, her face cold, looked at the palace maids and nannies kneeling on the ground serving Yin Chu, and said in a cold voice, "Today is Princess Rongxian's wedding. I told you all to keep an eye on the Fourth Prince, to keep an eye on the Fourth Prince, but you..."
“You were so negligent that you let the Fourth Prince sneak out of the palace. If anything happens to the Fourth Prince, even ten heads wouldn’t be enough to cut off your heads.”
The old women and palace servants, kneeling on the ground, were trembling.
"Your Majesty, spare me! Your Majesty, spare me!"
Xu Lejin took a deep breath, anxiously looked outside the Fourth Institute of Gandong, and spoke in a cold voice.
"You will all kneel outside. You may rise only when the Fourth Prince is found. I am only punishing you with half a year's monthly allowance for now. If anything happens to the Fourth Prince..."
"I will inform the Emperor and have your heads chopped off."
The maids and servants responded with trepidation.
