Chapter 204: Testing
Although I had guessed it before, I was still somewhat surprised when I heard it with my own ears.
Fortunately, the land they stepped on was called "North".
Children who grew up in the border areas have always been careless about trivial matters. Even the rules of wealthy families are not out of the ordinary when applied here.
Geba bowed with a smile on his face and shouted, "Congratulations, Master! Congratulations, Master! I wish you and your wife a long and happy marriage! May you have a baby soon..."
"Stop!" Chen Chunxing couldn't bear to listen any longer and interrupted him with a wave of his hand. "He and I haven't even gotten married yet! If a boy shows up at this moment, he'll scare my grandma to death!"
Geba's breathing stagnated, and the attentiveness on his face turned into a wry smile.
The yamen runner next to him quickly turned around and pretended not to hear anything.
But I started to have doubts in my heart.
I had heard before that the girl from the Shen family was unusual, and now that I see her, it’s true!
How come this young lady from the south speaks more vigorously than the women from the north?
But I can steal another glance at Xue Yongan.
The young man's expression remained unchanged, with a faint smile on his lips. He patiently gave the little girl a few words of advice, then said goodbye and went to East Street to watch the scene.
The yamen runner suddenly lost all thoughts.
Their master, though he may look young, is actually a man of iron will. Everyone who has participated in the bandit suppression operation is convinced by him, and they are almost kneeling in submission...
When Miss Shen was away, she had never seen Master Xue so "amiable".
Even just now, the yamen runner saw with his own eyes that the official gave Old Man Ge a look of approval!
As the saying goes, even a hero cannot resist the temptation of a beautiful woman! It is true!

On the other side, several people returned to the backyard.
Su Ruanruan was led by Dong'er, with her mouth raised high: "Cousin, don't let Ruanruan go. Ruanruan is a child that no one wants! Sister, please give me to Grandma Shen!"
The naughty kid hasn't given up yet!
Chen Chunxing scratched her nose and asked with a smile, "Is your cousin really that unwelcome? He came all the way here to pick you up, and yet you just hid away from me and didn't even show up. Don't you want to go back and see your parents sooner?"
"Sister, how do you know it's such a long journey?" Su Runrun's eyes rolled around, revealing a bit of the cunning that she had when they first met.
Ever since she moved into the narrow village, she was bullied by the fourth child and despised by the children in the village. Only Ajiu was like a hardworking old woman, following her around all day to clean up the mess.
Chen Chunxing almost forgot about this little loli, what a mean and naughty girl.
"It's just a blind guess. If you say your home is nearby, I will ask the county government to send someone to send it back to you tomorrow." Chen Chunxing said with a smile.
"Sister, you're so smart! You guessed it right! My home is so far away, so far away, so far away!"
Su Runrun exaggeratedly swung her arms and gestured. Seeing that Chen Chunxing was unmoved, she rolled her eyes and cried with a choked nasal voice.
"I miss my parents, but they don't miss me either. I have a miserable life. I don't have a harmonious and warm family like my sister."
"Chu Ziyi has nothing to do with my family! He's such a mean guy! I don't want to go with him!"
Su Ruanruan covered her face and whimpered for a while, but got no response. She opened her hands slightly and peeked.
No idea.
Chen Chunxing and Dong'er had already walked a long way.
One of them chattered happily, "When is the master going to marry the young lady? The mansion must make preparations early... Young lady, tell me, should we buy red sheets or floral ones? I heard that floral patterns are all the rage in the capital nowadays... Engagement? Engagement won't be a problem! Young lady is now the mistress of the mansion, and you will be the one to take care of all matters, big and small..."
One of them held his forehead with a headache, grinding his teeth. "He wants to marry me, and I have to arrange everything for him? Why am I so eager? As for marriage, whoever wants to get married can get married! Anyway, I don't want to get married."
Dong'er smiled and said boldly, "Young lady, you're making me happy again. Think about it, the master has entrusted the entire household to the young lady. Then...how much dowry should be given to the young lady's family? Isn't it up to the young lady to decide? Our master is entrusting his life and property to the young lady!"
“…”
Chen Chunxing turned around in surprise and pinched Dong'er's cheek.
"You learned this mouth from that naughty girl Bao'er, didn't you? You weren't so good at talking before."
Su Runrun looked at this one, then looked at that one, pouted her little mouth, and squeezed hard between the two of them.
"Soft me, soft me..."
Before he could finish his words, Dong'er smiled and embraced him in her arms. Chen Chunxing made a gesture to silence them and stepped through the hanging flower gate leading to the West Garden.
After Nanny Chen was found, she was still arranged to live here.
As for Manager Chen, he is in Beiyuan.
The mansion used the excuse that Nanny Chen was in a coma and was afraid that there might be an infectious disease that would harm others, so they arranged for her to stay alone in the West Garden.
Except for the maid Cui'er who takes care of her personally, everyone else, even the manager Chen, has to inform them first before they can enter to visit.
The two guards guarding the Chuihua Gate saw Chen Chun walking in and hurriedly saluted without any intention of stopping him.
"Has anyone inside come out today?"
"Replying to the young lady, the maid came out once and asked for water and food."
"So, Nanny Chen has woken up?"
"Probably not. The meals I ordered these days were only enough for one person."
Chen Chunxing couldn't help but chuckle, which was full of sarcasm.
He waved to the security guards, telling them not to follow him, and walked into the yard alone and knocked on the door.
Cui Er heard the voice, opened the door, and saw that it was her. Before she could even scream in surprise, her legs trembled and she almost knelt down: "Miss Shen..."
Chen Chunxing glanced inside.
There were no lights on and no windows open in the room, so it seemed a little dim. The stench of rotten rice mixed with urine went straight into my nose.
She frowned, covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, walked into the room, and sneered at the person lying on the bed, "Mammy, you are really flexible. You really can't just say you don't want such great wealth in the capital?"
Cui'er held the door frame with her hands, not having the courage to stop it at all. When she heard this, she looked at the bed in horror, and then, not knowing what she was thinking, she hurried out of the house and closed the door tightly.
Click——
As the wooden door closed, the man who had been lying there in a daze just now sat up as if resurrected from the dead, and his old eyes, which were covered with yellow and white substances, slowly opened.
"As soon as I saw Doctor Chang being invited, I knew you were coming!"
"Oh? From what Madam said, you really want to see me?"
Chen Chunxing looked away. She really didn't have the courage to face an old face that hadn't been washed for a long time.
I looked around, but there was nowhere to put my feet.
I could only stand there lazily, covering my mouth and nose and acting like a wicked woman.
"Since Mammy has already woken up, why are you still pretending to be sick? Could it be that you still want to blame our Xue Mansion! Let me tell you, this kidnapping case has nothing to do with us..."
Nanny Chen glanced at Chen Chunxing, lifted the quilt, and stood up.
"You don't need to test me here. I'll tell you the truth. I already knew who betrayed me! If I hadn't been heartbroken by the Duke's Mansion, I wouldn't have ended up like this."
