Chu Jinyao's shocking encounter on the street shocked many people. After they returned home, the old lady deliberately kept Zhao and asked her carefully.

"I heard from the servants that the road was not peaceful today. What happened?"

Zhao stood beside the old lady and told her what she saw and heard in the jewelry store today, the changes on the street, and the things about the Qi family's Qisu Manor. After listening to it, the old lady was silent for a while and said, "I originally wanted you to go out and relax, but I didn't expect to encounter these twists and turns. We can't afford to offend those eunuchs in the Gong family, and it's right to avoid them. However, the fifth lady looks gentle, but she has a hot temper."

Zhao was a little surprised to hear this. Old Madam Chu usually doesn't get close to the younger generation. Except for Chu Jinxian, few people can get a good word from her. Although Mrs. Chu's words were accusatory, if you listen carefully, you can actually hear more praise than complaint. Mrs. Zhao was very surprised. When did Chu Jinyao get such high regard from Mrs. Chu? She followed the old lady's words and said, "Mother is right. Jinyao has only been home for two months. It is all because of your good teaching that she is what she is today."

The old lady shook her head and said nothing, obviously not agreeing. She originally thought that the younger generation was taught, and if a family had a prodigal younger generation, it was not the child's fault, but the elders' fault. But now Mrs. Chu felt that although teaching was responsible, human nature was the foundation of everything.

Take Chu Jinmiao for example. She was raised in a wealthy village with good food and drink. She was disciplined by her nanny and elders since she could walk. But look, she still grew up to be such a crooked tree. Chu Jinyao grew up in a peasant family. It is said that the peasant couple was very ignorant and beat and scolded their children. But Chu Jinyao grew up to be upright and strong. Now even Madam Chu dare not say anything. Is it that there are some things that cannot be shaken from the beginning?

Zhao looked at the expression on Old Madam Chu's face and said carefully: "Mother, Miao'er went out with her sisters today and was very happy on the way. She told me in the car that she really hopes to act with her sisters. Mother, you see Miao'er has admitted her mistake, her house arrest is..."

Because of the princess's invitation, the girls of the Chu family went out together to buy jewelry, and it was impossible for them to leave Chu Jinmiao behind, so Chu Jinmiao also went out many times. Everyone knew it tacitly, and no one mentioned the house arrest again, so Chu Jinmiao was lifted. However, the younger generation can act like a spoiled child in this way, but Zhao, as a mother, cannot. She always has to come and talk to Old Madam Chu and get the old lady's approval.

Generally, in such situations, the elders turn a blind eye and acquiesce. The girls were all spoiled girls, and no one would punish them seriously. But this time, after hearing this, Mrs. Chu said, "Did she ask you to come and plead for mercy? My second brother came a few days ago and told me about this."

When Mrs. Zhao heard this, she quickly crossed her arms and stood up, saying, "No, it was my own heart that made me come to my mother on my own initiative."

Mrs. Chu had been dealing with women in the backyard all her life, so how could she not see through these twists and turns? In her eyes, Chu Jinmiao and Mrs. Zhao's thoughts were just a joke, and she could see through them at a glance. Old Madam Chu saw through it but didn't want to say it, and said, "The Fourth Young Miss grew up in front of you, so it's natural that you love her more. But there is a saying among the people that you should treat everyone equally. How many family disasters are caused by the favoritism and pampering of the elders. You shouldn't be too partial to one side, you should also pay attention to the Fifth Young Miss."

Old Madam Chu was accusing her of being partial again. Zhao felt a little disgusted in her heart, but she responded respectfully. Seeing that she agreed reluctantly, Old Madam Chu knew that she certainly did not take it seriously in her heart, so she emphasized her tone and said lightly, "This matter is the duty of a mistress, and I don't want to remind you for the third time. In public, you are the wife of the marquis, and you have to manage the internal affairs of the whole family. In private, you are the mother of several sisters. You must remember your identity and don't always focus on Chu Jinmiao! Not to mention the fifth girl, look at the eighth sister, who is only six years old, and the maids and old women around her are so negligent. I'm just too lazy to talk about you, do you really think I don't know?"

Zhao was sweating profusely, and knelt down with the help of the Luohan bed: "I'm wrong, please calm down, mother."

Old Madam Chu originally planned to stop at this point, but she didn't expect Zhao to be confused and insisted on letting her talk to this extent. Old Madam Chu was also angry. She took a deep breath and said, "Get up. You are already the mother of several children, and I don't want to embarrass you in front of others. If what you did was acceptable, I would not say this to you. Go back and adjust your attitude and tidy up the courtyards of the girls. Partiality of the elders is the source of trouble!"

"Yes."

"I heard from Xian'er that when she went out today, she used her private money to buy a set of headwear for Jinyao, and you also gave her a set. Seeing that the fifth girl is getting older, we should prepare more clothes and jewelry. After all, she is a legitimate daughter of our marquis's mansion, and the hierarchy of legitimate and illegitimate children should not be confused. Her expenses should not be the best, but also should not be laughed at by outsiders."

Zhao nodded in agreement. Although Madam Chu was talking about the hierarchy between legitimate and illegitimate daughters, Zhao knew that the old lady was referring to Chu Jinmiao. After all, she was the original legal wife. How could she promote a concubine's daughter over her legitimate daughter? After all, the old lady was still dissatisfied with Chu Jinmiao. This was to ask her to reduce Chu Jinmiao's expenses and not to bypass Chu Jinyao.

Just now, the old lady said to treat everyone equally, but now she said this. Zhao was not a muddleheaded person. Since she knew that Chu Jinyao was her biological daughter, would she deliberately treat Chu Jinyao harshly? But since Chu Jinyao came back, there were people around her who kept forcing her, scolding her, and reminding her. Zhao was disgusted and unknowingly began to rebel in her heart.

It was as if they were all good people, and Zhao was the only bad person. Zhao was really annoyed.

In fact, when Old Madam Chu said this, her thoughts were much longer-term than Zhao's. The old lady thought that Chu Jinmiao was completely useless. Not to mention whether she had the blessing or not, even if she did, Old Madam Chu would not dare to let her marry up. With this kind of mentality, marrying up would be a disaster for the Chu family. Chu Jinxian was raised by the old lady since she was a child. She was perfect in all aspects. Logically, she was the best candidate for marrying up. However, the old lady was selfish after all. She still wanted the child she raised to live a happy life in the future. So the old lady kept silent and let Zhao arrange a marriage for Chu Jinxian with her cousin from her natal family.

However, the Changxing Marquisate has reached its last generation. The younger generations below are obsessed with the wealth in front of them and are too lazy to think about the future of the Marquisate. As an elder, she cannot be so lazy. Chu Jinxian's life is already determined. Among the remaining girls, the second and third girls are illegitimate. Even though this dynasty does not value legitimate and illegitimate as much as the previous dynasty, they are of low birth and are not as legitimate as legitimate girls. Originally, Chu Jinmiao was the legitimate daughter of the Changxing Marquis. Her status was the highest among the girls besides Chu Jinxian. Therefore, the old lady took the trouble to educate her for many years, but the result was not satisfactory. The old lady has never liked Chu Jinmiao's temperament. She is always awkward and petty, and is very petty. As for the daughter after Chu Jinmiao, there is no need to think about the third wife's daughter. The remaining ones are either too young or of unsuitable status. After counting, there is not a single girl in the Chu family who can be presented to Old Lady Chu for a chance at wealth.

Old Lady Chu has been secretly worried about this for many years, and now, Chu Jinyao has appeared. The old lady has watched with cold eyes for so many days, and she has to admit that Chu Jinyao is probably the one she has been looking for for many years. Chu Jinyao's status, appearance, and personality are all just right. Although she did not grow up in the Marquis' Mansion for the first thirteen years and is not very close to her family, Chu Jinyao is willing to save a child she doesn't even know, let alone her family? Old Lady Chu is not worried that Chu Jinyao will forget her roots after becoming rich.

Today's incident made the old lady determined to shift the focus of future education to Chu Jinyao, and the resources of the Marquis' Mansion would naturally follow suit. Although Chu Jinyao was not around when she was a child, and her manners and needlework were not as good as other girls, she was only thirteen, and there was still time for everything. Mrs. Chu felt very regretful when she thought of this. If it weren't for Chu Jinmiao, Chu Jinyao would have grown up smoothly in the Marquis' Mansion, and there wouldn't be so many troubles today? Mrs. Chu was annoyed when she thought of the evil couple in the Su family, and Chu Jinmiao dared to play tricks under her nose. When Mrs. Chu thought of this, her expression became more and more indifferent.

The old lady has made up her mind. If Chu Jinmiao stays quiet until she gets married, she will give her a dowry and find her a middle-class family, which will be considered as the fate of raising her. If Chu Jinmiao dares to have any tricks, don't blame the old lady for suppressing her marriage. After all, in the eyes of the old lady Chu, nothing is more important than the inheritance of the Changxing Marquisate.

Now Zhao heard that the old lady Chu was going to reduce Chu Jinmiao's share, and she was still very unwilling. Old Madam Chu looked at Zhao and became more and more angry. She couldn't help but say, "You are the wife of the Marquis. You should look further ahead and not just focus on the small piece of land in the backyard! You are the principal wife, the wife

of the Marquis, who is conferred the title in the imperial edict. Why are you angry with those concubines? You just throw them there and let them compete for favors. What can you do?" This is an old story. At that time, Zhao was pregnant and Changxing Marquis's concubine Huang was favored. Old Madam Chu sent a maid to balance the backyard, but Zhao was stubborn and refused to give way. Well, it was not until the concubine Huang's family became the most powerful that Zhao was afraid and hurriedly promoted Furong to a concubine. However, by this time, Huang's power was already established and it was difficult to shake it.

Old Madam Chu was very dissatisfied when she mentioned these things, and when Zhao heard her mother-in-law talking about Aunt Furong again, she secretly resented her mother-in-law for interfering in her bedroom affairs, and she was also full of resentment in her heart. The situation became more and more tense, and when Old Madam Chu saw this, she was extremely disappointed with this eldest daughter-in-law who was superficial. It seems that in the future, I have to find a capable granddaughter-in-law for the second young master. With Zhao's condition, how can the family support the family after she leaves? Old Madam Chu stopped talking about this topic and said, "Okay, I'll stop here. You can decide what to do in the future. You are tired today, go back and rest."

Zhao lowered her head, nodded softly, and walked out slowly. She was about to leave the house when she suddenly heard Madam Chu say, "There is a hidden story behind what happened between Chu Jinmiao and Chu Jinyao in the mansion that day. Chu Jinmiao is, after all, an unmarried girl with a thick skin, so I gave her some face. I didn't want to mention these dirty things anymore, I would be ashamed to say them, but seeing you like this, I'm afraid she has another excuse to fool you. I'm too lazy to tell you the details, and you don't need to ask. I'm just giving you a few pointers, and you just need to know it in your heart."

There is a hidden story? Is there another explanation for Chu Jinmiao's house arrest? Zhao was very confused after hearing this, but Madam Chu had already leaned back on the pillow with her eyes closed to rest. Zhao didn't dare to ask any more questions, she just nodded her head and left.

On the second day, when paying respects, Chu Jinyao went to Zhao's courtyard on time. Marquis Changxing was also there, and when he saw Chu Jinyao, he specifically asked: "I heard that you saved a child yesterday, but were harassed by a group of unknown officers and soldiers?"

Chu Jinyao looked unhappy. When she heard Marquis Changxing's question, she cheered up and said: "It can't be said that I was harassed... That group of people seemed to be from an extraordinary background."

Marquis Changxing came just for this matter, and he asked more closely: "I heard from my mother that the leader seemed to be a eunuch. What does that eunuch look like?"

Marquis Changxing was there today, and the girls from the big house had already arrived, and now they were sitting in Zhao's room eating fruits and killing time. Hearing what Marquis Changxing said, the Third Miss put down the fruit in her hand, Chu Jinmiao looked up in surprise, and even the young Eighth Miss stopped making trouble, was picked up by the wet nurse, and stood quietly aside.

Chu Jinxian felt the seriousness in Marquis Changxing's words and asked, "Father, you asked about this matter. Could it be that these guys are related to this matter?"

Marquis Changxing shook his head with a sullen expression and said, "It's hard to say now, but eunuchs from Shanxi don't come here at leisure, and this eunuch came to Taiyuan quietly. No matter what his purpose is, we can't neglect him. But it's hard to say now. I have to confirm where these guys come from before I can make a judgment."

When Zhao heard this, she realized that the unfortunate incident that she thought was not a big deal actually had such a big connection, and she immediately racked her brains to recall what happened yesterday. However, she initially treated the group of people as ordinary minor officials and ignored them. Later, she found that the leader seemed to be a eunuch. She was so frightened that she couldn't even stand steadily. How could she dare to look up at their appearance? Zhao thought for a long time, but couldn't remember what these people looked like or what their characteristics were. She could only say, "These people are riding horses and are very fierce."

Changxing Hou choked. This is really detailed. He has to do serious things. How can he fool around like this! Changxing Hou was secretly a little angry, but in front of his wife and daughter, he refused to show his anger. Instead, he tried his best to maintain his original voice and asked, "What else?"

The third girl and Chu Jinmiao shook their heads. They were daughters of the marquis' family. Apart from clothes and jewelry, how could they care about the affairs of the common people outside? Chu Jinyao thought for a moment and said, "I remember there were about seven or eight of them, each riding a tall horse. They could ride so fast in the busy city, so their riding skills must be outstanding. The leader was particularly fierce. He stopped suddenly and even knocked over the shed! But although he looked fierce, he was not very tall and was much thinner than the people around him. I looked at him at the time, and I remember that his eyes were very black, but his skin was very white, and the flesh on his face seemed to not move." When Chu Jinyao said this, he couldn't help but whispered, "Just like a living dead."

She was really brave. The woman in Zhao's house quickly patted her: "Don't talk nonsense."

And the long Changxing Marquis no longer cared about Chu Jinyao's slip of the tongue. He was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. After thinking for a while, he asked anxiously, "Does he have a scar on his face?"

Chu Jinyao thought for a while and nodded, "It seems so. It's strange that his scars are all dead white, right here." Chu Jinyao drew a line on his face. After seeing it, Changxing Marquis clapped his hands vigorously and said, "Yes, it's him!"

Zhao and others were startled by Changxing Marquis. Zhao asked hurriedly, "Why are you so loud all of a sudden? What happened?"

Changxing Marquis had already stood up and turned around excitedly, "It turned out to be Eunuch Tang! Oh my God, Eunuch Tang actually came to Taiyuan!"

Who is Eunuch Tang? Several girls looked at each other and stared at Changxing Marquis curiously. The matter of Marquis Changxing was a big deal for Zhao. Zhao couldn't help asking, "Marquis, who is Eunuch Tang?"

Marquis Changxing didn't have time to reply, and was still immersed in his thoughts. Seeing that Zhao was left out, Chu Jinyao added, "Maybe Eunuch Tang is the prince's man?"

Zhao uttered a low "ah", and it was obvious that she didn't care. Chu Jinmiao lowered her head and rolled her eyes, thinking that Chu Jinyao didn't know anything and was showing off, which

was embarrassing. When Marquis Changxing heard Chu Jinyao's words, he suddenly stood up, and his bright eyes stared at Chu Jinyao: "How did you know?" It was actually true? Zhao was shocked, and Chu Jinmiao opened her mouth in disbelief. The third lady was so frightened that she dropped the orange in her hand. The maid hurriedly bent over to chase after it, and the room was in chaos. Chu Jinxian also asked Chu Jinyao: "How do you know this?"

"I guessed it." Chu Jinyao saw that everyone in the room was looking at her, and her voice was weak. "I remember that the last time my aunt came, she didn't say that there were eunuchs in the Huailing County Prince's Mansion. Since the County Prince's Mansion is not qualified to use eunuchs, then the only one in the whole Shanxi who is qualified to bring eunuchs is the prince! Am I wrong?"

After hearing this, Chu Jinmiao immediately realized that this was the truth. It was very simple. She just didn't react at once. When Changxing Hou heard Chu Jinyao's answer, he was surprised and suspicious: "How do you know to think in this direction?"

"I don't know either. I'm just guessing." Chu Jinyao was a little scared by her father's gaze. She didn't know why she naturally thought of the prince. Maybe when Qin Yi was around, he always told her about these palace and officialdom matters. Slowly, Chu Jinyao could think of it herself?

Chu Jinyao thought of Qin Yi, and her heart fell again. She went back excitedly yesterday, wanting to share her joy with Qin Yi, but she suddenly found that Qin Yi was gone.

He left so suddenly, without even saying goodbye.

Chu Jinyao was a little sad, a little reluctant, and a little disappointed. She had known for a long time that Qin Yi would leave sooner or later, and she thought she was mentally prepared, but she did not expect that this day would come so suddenly.

Chu Jinyao looked silent, and Marquis Changxing thought that he had frightened his daughter by asking too hastily. So he quickly relaxed his expression and said to Chu Jinyao in a kind voice: "I am not scolding you, don't think too much." Marquis Changxing paused after he finished speaking, and added: "It's good that you can guess the truth from just a few words."

Women don't care about external affairs or court affairs, which is good, what's good about it? Marquis Changxing's words have a hidden meaning. A few days ago, Madam Chu mentioned Chu Jinyao to him in a vague way. After the old lady's reminder, he looked at Chu Jinyao carefully again and found that Chu Jinyao had been reborn. When she just came back, she was still a little dark and thin. After two months of conditioning, she quickly became slimmer and her skin became much whiter.

Chu Jinyao, like Chu Zhu and Chu Jinxian, was born with snow-white skin. Once well-treated, it was like a pearl brushing off dust, and it quickly regained its original luster. This seems to be a unique appearance of the Chu family. The second young master was born white, and so was Chu Zhu, who was famous for her beauty in the previous generation. Now among the younger generation, Chu Jinxian and Chu Jinyao have also inherited it. When Chu Jinyao stood with her sisters and others, she was actually whiter than the third young lady. Huang won with her charming figure and oriole voice. The third lady learned half of her skills and had a charming figure, but she looked like her biological mother, with a slightly yellowish skin. Normally, this was not obvious when the third lady stood next to Chu Jinmiao, but now compared with Chu Jinyao, the difference in their natural skin textures was immediately apparent. Although

the Marquis of Changxing was not willing to rely on his daughter for wealth and honor, he had to admit at this moment that the old lady had a good vision, much better than his wife, Zhao.

The Marquis of Changxing did not have any requirements for his wife. She only wanted her to take care of the food, clothing, housing and transportation of his wives, concubines and children in the back house. In this regard, Zhao could not be said to have done a very good job, but she was not derelict in her duty. As for the rest, the Marquis of Changxing would find someone else. So no matter what happened to him outside, he would never come back to tell Mrs. Zhao, but would go to Rongning Hall to discuss with the old lady. Just like what happened yesterday, it was the old lady and Marquis Changxing who discussed it directly without going through Mrs. Zhao.

Marquis Changxing understood what Mrs. Chu meant. Their mansion has reached the last generation. They need to urge the boys to make progress, and the girls' education should not be neglected. They are not a family that sells daughters for glory, but having many sons means more blessings. Having many girls means having more relatives in the future, which is also a good thing. The eldest daughter Chu Jinxian's marriage has been decided. She will marry her childhood sweetheart and cousin who knows her well, and live a smooth life. This is also good. As for the marriage of the second daughter Chu Jinyao, they have to choose a good husband.

Chu Jinyao is of suitable status and more beautiful than Chu Zhu when she was young. Chu Zhu can marry a rich man, but Chu Jinyao cannot. The old lady is more optimistic about the prince of Huailing Palace. In Shanxi, the legitimate daughter of Changxing Marquis's Palace wants to marry a rich man, but there are only a few families to choose from. Compared with a few other official families with good influence in the court, the old lady Chu prefers Huailing Palace. After all, the iron hat of the palace is stable, but the official career may not always be smooth. Although Changxing Marquis does not agree with his mother's conservative views, he is happy to see the prince of Huailing Palace.

Therefore, the candidate for the companion to the Huailing Palace this time has already been decided by Marquis Changxing and Old Lady Chu. The other person can only serve as Chu Jinyao's helper or companion. It is said that the candidate for the companion will be selected by the nanny and princess of the palace, but the Changxing Palace is not a ruined family. Can their girls really be chosen by the other party? In the final analysis, the decision is still in the hands of the ancestors of the two families. After Old Lady Chu made up her mind, she gave a word to the old ancestor of the palace, and the old ancestor of the palace would not offend Old Lady Chu, so the matter would be settled.

The Huailing Palace had the idea of ​​​​gambling for wealth and honor, and the Changxing Palace did not try to be without it, but the status of the two families was different, so the wealth and honor they were gambling for were also different. The Huailing Palace is eyeing the position of the Crown Princess, while Old Lady Chu has her eyes on the Crown Prince's Consort from the other family. Chu Zhu married a high-ranking official, but she only married the younger brother of the Prince of the County, and was not considered the head of the Palace. This time, the old lady wanted to strike a decisive blow and fight for the position of the next generation of the Princess of the Huailing Palace.

In fact, Old Lady Chu could more or less guess the thoughts of the Prince of the County and the Princess of the County. The County Master of their family was really... arrogant. The Prince of the County Palace wanted to pick a few companions and get a feel for their temperament before they left the pavilion. If the Huailing Palace really succeeded, it would be a good idea to bring the two companions to the East Palace. However, Old Lady Chu was not very happy with the Huailing Palace's idea. She didn't want to see her own legitimate daughter become a puppet for the County Master. She was afraid that if she gave birth to a child in the future, she would not be able to raise the child herself. Rather than being someone else's mistress, it would be better to become the county lord's legitimate sister-in-law. In this way, they are naturally in the same boat, so there is no need to use her as a dowry?

When Old Lady Chu and Marquis Changxing talked about it, they hit it off. Of course, if the princess really wants to find a companion for the county lord to go to the East Palace, their Chu family is not unable to afford such a person. For example, the third lady, who has a charming figure and is used to flattering, is very suitable. As long as Chu Jinyao really becomes the crown prince's consort, she is just a girl, and Old Lady Chu is willing to give her up.

Now Marquis Changxing looks at his daughters carefully and has some thoughts in his mind. He turned many thoughts, but facing the third lady and Chu Jinyao, he didn't show it at all. He thought, his mother's vision is always accurate. Chu Jinyao is only thirteen, but she can already think that Tang Gonggong is the prince's woman. As long as she is carefully cultivated from now on, she will be a material for the crown prince's wife or the royal wife in the future. As for the third girl, there is no need to separate her from Huang. It would be a good idea for her to learn some tricks to win over men from Huang.

Chu Jinyao and the third girl found that Changxing Hou was looking at them solemnly, and they were a little nervous. The third girl asked quietly, "Father?"

The Marquis of Changxing came to his senses and said, "You were frightened yesterday. Rest well these days. I'll have someone send you some little things in a while to surprise you. Chan'er, are your clothes enough to wear?"

The third girl was flattered and bowed quickly, "Thank you for your concern, father. Everything is fine." The

Marquis of Changxing said, "You are growing up. Even if you are a concubine's daughter, you should not be timid about clothes and jewelry. I'll ask someone to come in later. Let them buy the fabric you like. Don't worry about the money. It will all be paid from my account."

The third girl happily agreed. When she looked at her sisters beside her at this time, there was a sense of pride in her eyes.

Changxing Hou said to Chu Jinyao: "You saved someone yesterday and got injured for it. This is a good deed and deserves to be rewarded. I heard that Qi Desheng also sent you two boxes of cloth. You can just accept them directly. Don't worry about owing a favor. I will talk to Qi Desheng. Do you need anyone around you?"

Chu Jinyao was confused by the question. She felt something was wrong. Changxing Hou had always been a hands-off person in the inner house. Now he not only asked about her and the third lady, but also made clothes for the third lady. If Changxing Hou asked her what clothes she needed without any discrimination, Chu Jinyao would not think too much about it. What kind of things could a father give his daughter? But the Marquis of Changxing asked her if she was short of help...

Chu Jinyao thought about many things, and finally said obediently: "My daughter is young and doesn't understand anything. I will leave it to my father to arrange."

This answer satisfied the Marquis of Changxing. He smiled and stroked his beard, saying, "Okay, your grandmother will arrange the manpower in a few days. You were injured these days, and your grandmother is very worried. When you are free, go to your grandmother more often."

Chu Jinyao naturally agreed. The third girl was originally dissatisfied with Chu Jinyao's father's attention, but after hearing the rest, she secretly sneered. After all, the Marquis of Changxing did not reward Chu Jinyao with anything valuable, and she was treated better. The third girl and Chu Jinyao did not know that their future path and their status in the future had already been marked in the eyes of the elders.

After Changxing Hou finished instructing Chu Jinyao, he naturally asked Chu Jinmiao and Chu Jinxian one by one. The Eighth Girl was still a child, so he just mentioned it and passed it by. After he gave the daughters subsidies, the atmosphere in the house became better. Seeing that Changxing Hou was in a good mood, Chu Jinyao asked boldly: "Father, if Eunuch Tang is someone close to the prince, then why did he appear in West Street?"

After hearing this, Changxing Hou unconsciously subsided a little. He has been thinking about this question. Changxing Hou would not have said this to his female relatives, but now Chu Jinyao's status in his eyes was different. Changxing Hou answered for the first time: "We don't know the specific reason yet. Your father plans to find an opportunity to deliver a visiting card to see if Eunuch Tang is willing to meet us. If he is willing to see us, then maybe we can find out something."

The noble officials in the court were very respectful when they met the eunuch, not to mention that this Eunuch Tang was a capable person around the prince, so it was appropriate to treat him with great courtesy. Chu Jinyao saw that her father was very terrified of Eunuch Tang, and she had looked at Eunuch Tang very rudely yesterday...

Chu Jinyao silently passed over this topic and did not intend to tell Changxing Hou about it. Since Eunuch Tang did not lose his temper at that time, he would not bear a grudge in the future. Even if Eunuch Tang was a concubine, he was still a well-known person and would not embarrass a little girl like her. When

Zhao and Chu Jinmiao heard that Marquis Changxing was going to visit Eunuch Tang, they were not very interested in the next topic. Chu Jinyao wanted to ask more. However, she was a woman who had not yet married, so it was not good for her to ask too much about her father and brother's affairs in the court, so she had to give up.

After Chu Jinyao came out of Zhao's room, she was still thinking that Marquis Changxing could recognize Eunuch Tang based on her brief description, which showed that this Lord Tang was very famous in the court. Since he was such an important figure, why did he suddenly appear in Taiyuan? Seeing their situation yesterday, they seemed to be very anxious.

Chu Jinyao had been thinking about this question all the way. She wanted to ask Qin Yi out of habit, but just as she opened her mouth, she remembered that Qin Yi was gone.

He finally left.

...

In a tall and deep house, behind a heavy bed curtain, a young man with a pale face was sleeping quietly on a bright yellow soft pillow.

His eyelashes trembled slightly, and after a moment, he slowly opened his eyelids.

Qin Yi just moved slightly, and the eunuch guarding outside the compartment immediately noticed it. He stumbled in, and when he saw the person coming, his eyes widened, and he fell to his knees with a thud.

"Prince, you are finally awake!"

The author has something to say: A letter to Qin Yi:

The old lady of the Chu family and the Marquis of Changxing asked us to drive an excavator to dig the corner of your house. It is our first meeting. Please take care of us.

Sincerely, a certain blue technical school.
