  The old lady thought to herself, it's just right that Xue E is staying in the mansion for a while, and Master wants to observe his character. And San Niangzi is a girl, she's naturally careful by nature, and since Xue E is her fiancé, she's even more attentive. This useless Xue E will probably reveal his true colors in front of San Niangzi within two days. If he stays for a few more days, won't he be exposed? It's better to have San Niangzi stay in another courtyard and not meet him for the time being.

  Thinking about it, he nodded and went out for a walk to clear his mind. Tomorrow, he would ask his wife to accompany her.

  "Men Sheng hesitated and asked: 'Are you asking the madam to go with us? The three girls' marriage is not under her control... isn't that not quite right?'"

  The old lady frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, I'll go with you to keep you company for two days. It's better than letting others do it."

  Men's this time did not hesitate, hastily agreed, "Yes, servant obey orders."

  The old lady nodded, with a heavy heart.

  The next day, Chu Ke came to the Chu family's villa outside the city.

  She didn't quite understand that Zhu Yuchen had called Chu's family to another courtyard, but it was unclear whether they could still come and go freely.

  When noon arrived, the lady was already waiting respectfully on this side and led them all the way to the inner courtyard. Chu Xue looked at this separate courtyard, which was indeed quiet because it was a place for rest and relaxation, so many flowers, grasses, and trees were planted, almost every path in each courtyard was full of them, and it was peaceful with not too many people around.

  Men smiled and chatted with the woman walking in front, asking about Chu Ke's thoughts, it turned out that originally, Qin Niang's brother was in charge here, but he was transferred recently, and now the servant who followed him, Shi, is the new person in charge, originally from Lao Yezi's side.

  "Hasn't anyone come in these few days?" Mr. Men asked with a smile "Are there any relatives from your family living here?"

  "That old woman smiled and said, 'Even if they were relatives, they would be living in the city. Who would dare to live here privately? Everyone who comes here is a family member. The old man came to stay a few days ago, and there's no one else.'"

  Chu Xue's father, Chu Nan, has been staying here for a few days after leaving the temple, feeling heartbroken.

  As he entered the courtyard, this small courtyard was extremely unique. The main house had three rooms in a row, with diamond-shaped windows and sky blue window screens. Except for the inverted seat room outside the courtyard, there were no wing houses.

  Everyone entered the house, Jing'er, Qingguo and Baiguo, three maidservants, hurriedly cleaned up. This small courtyard was where San Gu Niang lived. At night, the person on duty slept in the inverted seat room, while the rest went to live in the side courtyard. The Madame lived alone on the right side, and the maidservants lived on the left side.

  At that time, Chu Ke'er had a slight nap and got up to see the maids setting up tables and chairs under the trees in the courtyard, with cool drinks already prepared on the table.

  Chu Xue arrived until now still didn't know whether Zhu Yu Xun wanted to come and see her, and even suspected that he had said something or Qing Guo had heard it. Could they enter another courtyard?

  Strangely thinking, he came to the courtyard and sat down, instructing Jing'er to watch at the gate of the courtyard, and also calling Bai Guo to watch at the main gate, waiting with some unease.

  Now in mid-July, it's the hottest time, fortunately, there are many trees in the entire courtyard, and it's relatively cool with the wind. Chu Ke'er gently fanned herself with a fan, thinking repeatedly in her heart, wanting to ruin this marriage.

  The plan has been thought out, as long as it is discussed and decided with Brother and Zhu Yuchen, she looked up at the treetops and saw the sun's rays, in fact, this matter, most of her was targeting Old Lady Xue, Xue E... could only blame his bad luck, who let him be like that, and followed Old Lady to harm people? If something happens, he can only bear it.

  The ice drink on the table was finished, and after waiting for a while, Chu Ke felt that the sky had darkened a bit. After dinner, she finally couldn't help but ask Qing Guo, "Is it true what I heard? Is it really to our estate's other courtyard? Not somewhere else?"

  Qing Guo also looked puzzled and hesitated, saying "The slave really didn't hear..."

  "Chu Ke whispered, 'Are they coming in? It can't be...' The words were left unspoken, but Qing Guo also understood the implication. Qing Guo was even more perplexed, thinking hard, wondering if he had really heard it."

  After a while, Chu Ke thought that Qing Guo must have heard it and could only ask Men Shi to go out and look for him. Just then, she heard footsteps outside and Bai Guo rushed in, saying "Two young masters are asking to see you at the gate of the courtyard."

  Chu Xue was taken aback, she didn't expect that these two people would openly ask to see her. If it were the old lady... She couldn't think much and hurriedly said "Please come in."

  Before long, Zhu Yichen and Zhu Yihuan entered. Chu Ke looked at the two of them in surprise and said: "If the old lady asks, how should I answer?"

  Zhu Yichan smiled and said, "The old lady won't ask, I've already inquired about it. The manager of the other courtyard has something at home and didn't ask for leave, he secretly slipped back home to take care of his family matters. There are only two women and two servants here, all of whom are in the outer courtyard. The inner courtyard is empty."

  "Are they from outside the hospital?"

  "Hmm... behind our backyard, the wall is not high, you can climb over." said Zhu Yichen.

  Chu Ke was just about to be shocked when Zhu Yuhuan had already said, "Ke, you absolutely must not come and live on this side alone, it's not safe at all."

  Chu Xue nodded slightly and didn't bother to care about the other courtyard's affairs anymore. She hastily asked, "Brother, you've run to Beijing? If someone finds out, it'll be terrible!"

  Zhu Yuhuan pouted and I secretly hid... At that time, I was still worried about entering the palace, afraid of not being able to come out after entering. It was on Girls' Day that she came."

  "Where have these days been hiding? That day... also entered the palace?" Chu Xue asked.

  Zhu Yuhuan nodded slightly and didn't enter the inner city, but instead stayed at the outer city gate... There's a Brocade Guard in the palace who has a life-and-death friendship with me. I asked him to gather information for me. If I was left behind, I would think of a way to escape. Fortunately, I made it out."

  Zhu Yichan shook his head and couldn't save himself, but instead saved others. Now he's waiting for them to repay kindness with resentment.

  Zhu Yuhuan's face immediately turned red, and he muttered, stumbling over his words, looking very embarrassed.

  Chu Xue looked at the two of them and asked strangely, "Who saved whom? Is this a case of repaying kindness with enmity?"

  Zhu Yi Chen was loudly interrupted by Zhu Yi Huan, "That night I left the palace and ran into Lan Zixi on the street. At that time, I didn't expect that dead girl to be plotting against me in the imperial palace... seeing her cry so pitifully..." He scratched his head and said in a low voice, "I ended up sending her away... if it were earlier, I would have sent her out of the city and let the wolves take her, this stinky girl."

  Chu Ke was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing. "Haha, fine, I'll send it to you, no big deal..."

  Zhu Yichan let out a fierce hum.

  Zhu Yuhuan's face was even more unbearable, and he spoke to Chu Keji in a serious tone: "I'm really not, and I absolutely don't have any other ideas. From now on, this girl and I are sworn enemies."

  Chu Kei hurriedly coughed and laughed, stretching out her hand to push Zhu Yu Chen "My brother also said no, is it over or not?"

  Zhu Yuchen was not finished yet.

  Chu Xue turned her face and asked Zhu Yuhuan, "I'm fine now, but after so many days, what if someone finds out? Deserting the fiefdom, if it's serious, can be considered as treason."

  "It was supposed to be, the next day I found Yicheng, he said no, want to see for a few days, so I also waited to see for a few days. As expected, our family's old lady hastily brought that Xue E over, we couldn't leave and had to think of a way to escape. These days we've all been staying in the inn without going out."

  "Didn't he come out yesterday and openly provoke trouble in front of Xue E?"

  Zhu Yuhuan blinked his eyes. I and Yuheng followed him... That Xue E, just looking at him makes me uncomfortable, he doesn't even recognize me..."

  "He'll definitely ask around if he sees me with Zhu Yuexun a few more times in front of him," Chu Keqi said with a smile.

  Zhu Yuchan saw that they had finally finished speaking, and said: "Ke Qi, are you also looking for me? Have you found a way?"

  Zhu Yuhuan also nodded and looked at her.

  Chu Ke nodded and said there was a way... I thought about it, and it's still the same method. The only way to mess up this marriage is to let Xue E reveal his true form in front of Old Master. Now, the only person who can make Old Madam listen is Old Master. If Old Master doesn't agree, Old Madam won't have a choice either."

  Zhu Yichan's face turned ugly as soon as he heard it, and he looked at her hesitantly saying "Ke Qi...are you going to make me...make me..."

  "Chu Kei hastily waved her hand and smiled, saying 'no need, no need, not yet...' She giggled and looked at them, saying 'just listen to what I have to say, okay?'"

  Zhu Yichen let out a big sigh of relief, and couldn't help but laugh at her. He hastily went over to Zhu Yihuan, and the two of them listened as Chu Keqian chattered on for quite some time. After exchanging a look with each other, they said "it's doable".

  Zhu Yuhuan patted Chu Ke's head and said, "What's wrong with this little girl?"

  Chu Ke covered her head and called out to me...

  Zhu Yichan hastily rubbed the spot where she was hit, and hurriedly explained that she was just reading a book...

  Chu Kei rubbed her head and said, "I've seen many plays, and there are a lot of things like this in the plays."

  Zhu Yuhuan shook his head and said, "This is all a show for you guys to see, isn't it? The Chu family's education is really good!"

  Chu Kei spat out her tongue, although these things were indeed seen from the play, but it wasn't a play from this time period... The plays from this time period can't compare to those from several hundred years later.

  "Never mind, many women in the harem are just pretending. Zhu Yuxuan was still trying to help Chu Keqi out of the situation and thought about that method a bit more, so as not to make mistakes later."
