Chu Qianhuang is the eldest daughter of the Marquis's family, the biological daughter of Marquis's wife Shen, and the biological sister of Chu Yunmu with the same father and mother.
Although both were girls from the Marquis's Mansion, born on the same day and of similar age, there was a world of difference between Chu Qianhuang, the eldest daughter, and Chu Qianchen, the concubine's daughter. Chu Qianhuang was just like her name, a phoenix flying in the clouds, out of reach.
And myself...
Chu Qianchen's eyes flickered. She calmed herself down and was about to ask Mei'er a few more questions when a familiar fiery red figure entered her sight.
The thirteen-year-old girl had a slender figure. She wore a bright red silk jacket with a pattern of butterflies and a light red pleated skirt. Her thick black hair was tied into a crescent bun. Her skin was as white as snow, her facial features were delicate, and her willow-leaf eyes were bright and lively. She was bright and elegant, dignified and generous.
It was Chu Qianhuang.
At this moment, her pretty oval face couldn't hide her anxiety, and she walked towards this side hurriedly.
"Mother, how is my fourth brother?"
Chu Qianhuang walked quickly to the side of Shen and Chu Yunmu, looking at Chu Yunmu on the ground with worry, her eyes dark.
Shen anxiously grabbed her daughter's hand and comforted her: "The doctor just checked your fourth brother, he's fine." As she spoke, Shen couldn't help but chant a Buddhist prayer, "Today is all thanks to your second sister..."
"Second sister?" Chu Qianhuang blinked and wanted to ask again. At this time, the old woman who had gone to get the door panel came back with people carrying the door panel.
The surroundings became busy again. The two maids worked together to lift Chu Yunmu onto the door panel, and then they left in a mighty procession surrounded by the crowd, including Shen.
Seeing that Chu Qianhuang was about to catch up, Chu Qianchen stepped forward and called out to her, "Big sister, please stay."
Chu Qianhuang stopped walking. She seemed to still be worried about Chu Yunmu. She glanced in Chu Yunmu's direction again, then turned around and looked at Chu Qianchen, "Second sister."
Chu Qianchen walked up to Chu Qianhuang slowly, stretched out his hand to support her right arm, "Be careful!"
Her left hand silently stroked Chu Qianhuang's waist.
Following Chu Qianchen's gaze, Chu Qianhuang discovered that there was a pebble the size of a longan rolling around the edge of her skirt.
Chu Qianhuang took two steps to the side.
Chu Qianchen took out a rouge-colored purse embroidered with peony flowers from his sleeve with his right hand holding the handkerchief, and handed it to Chu Qianhuang, "Big sister, I just picked up this purse over there by the rockery, is it yours?"
Everyone in the Marquis's Mansion knew that Chu Qianhuang's favorite flower was the peony.
Chu Qianhuang's eyes fell on the purse, and her eyes lit up, "It's mine!"
She raised her hand to take the purse, frowned slightly in confusion, and seemed to say to herself: "How did it fall there?"
Chu Qianchen smiled slightly and looked into her eyes. His beautiful phoenix eyes were as clear as spring water, reflecting Chu Qianhuang's figure.
Chu Qianchen asked: "Big sister, have you ever been to the rockery?"
"I went to pick some winter jasmine flowers." Chu Qianhuang hid the purse in her sleeve pocket and smiled brightly, "Thank you, second sister."
After saying that, Chu Qianhuang turned around and quickly chased in the direction of Shen and Chu Yunmu.
Chu Qianchen stood there, quietly looking at Chu Qianhuang's slender back, with a cold light flashing in his pupils, as if he was thinking about something.
After the masters left, the servants who were watching nearby also gradually dispersed.
The doctor is here, and the imperial physician will be here soon. She has just taken her fourth brother's pulse and knows that his life is no longer in danger. It must be busy and chaotic over there, so she will not go over.
She will go to see Mu Ge'er later!
From a distance, Liuli was seen holding a cloak and talking to a round-faced little maid in blue clothes.
Seeing Chu Qianchen coming back, Liuli was startled, and hurriedly came to greet him, saying: "Miss, Juan'er is here to pass on a message for Auntie. Auntie wants you to go over."
The aunt that Liuli mentioned is Chu Qianchen’s biological mother, Aunt Jiang.
Thinking of his biological mother, Aunt Jiang, Chu Qianchen's originally calm eyes began to ripple slightly, spreading all the way to the lake of his heart, and the handkerchief in his hand was slightly clenched.
"I'm tired today, so I won't go." Chu Qianchen said lightly and walked into the courtyard.
Liuli and Juan'er looked at each other in surprise. Liuli said, "Young lady, Aunt Jiang may have heard about the quarrel between you and the third young lady. If you don't go, Aunt Jiang will be worried."
"Then go and tell my aunt for me." Chu Qianchen walked away without looking back.
Liuli's eyes flickered slightly, and she felt a little uneasy. She always felt that something was not right with the girl these days, so she had to talk to her aunt about it.
After Chu Qianchen entered the main hall, he did not rest, but called another personal maid, Amber: "Go get me some clothes and follow me out of the house."
amber:"……"
Although she and Liuli were both personal maids of the young lady, the young lady always kept a distance from her because she was given by the lady.
Amber asked hurriedly, "Miss, have you told the lady?"
The customs of the people in the Great Qi Dynasty were more open-minded than those in the previous dynasties. In a noble family like the Marquis's Mansion, if the girls in the mansion wanted to go out for a walk, they could do so as long as they got the permission of their lady.
However, the girl in my family is quiet and docile, and she never asks to go out on her own initiative. She always stays quietly in the mansion. Among so many girls in the mansion, she is so obedient that she has little sense of existence.
Chu Qianchen didn't answer, but just smiled faintly. Amber's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately realized that the girl must not have told the lady.
Amber hesitated for a moment and wanted to persuade her, but when Chu Qianchen's eyes, as bright as the sea of stars, looked at her, she swallowed back all the words.
She responded quickly, and swiftly found a half-old green dress and helped Chu Qianchen put it on. She then went back to her room and changed out of her maid's clothes.
Chu Qianchen put on a green veil and took Amber to the east corner gate of the Marquis' Mansion.
The woman guarding the corner gate was a distant relative of Amber's family. Chu Qianchen gestured to Amber to give her a piece of silver, and the master and servant left the mansion smoothly.
The accident that just happened to Chu Yunmu made Chu Qianchen suddenly realize the urgency of time.
At this time in her previous life, she was trapped in the inner house, and for many things she only knew the facts but not the reasons behind them.
She couldn't just wait passively...
The mansion was in chaos today and no one cared about her, so Chu Qianchen made a prompt decision and left the mansion.
The capital city is still as prosperous and wealthy as before. From the previous life to the present life, it seems that nothing has changed here. Pedestrians come and go on the road, and there are shops on both sides of the streets along the way, creating a bustling and noisy scene.
Although the weather is a little gloomy today, there are still many vendors and peddlers hawking their wares on the road.
Chu Qianchen had no attachment to the things on the street and went to Huahong Street next door with a clear goal.
Amber followed Chu Qianchen closely and followed her into Jishidiang at the end of the street.
