♂?，，

  Ke'er heard the maid at the gate say that someone from Zhu Yujie's side had arrived, and after thinking for a moment, she really couldn't remember who it could be. She furrowed her brow and slowly walked into the courtyard.

  Caiyun was waiting at the door and when she saw her, she smiled and said: "The young lady is back." She came forward to greet her directly.

  The door curtain opened, and Huadie walked out first, smiling and saying: "Gu Niang from the third master's side has come to find you..." The door curtain rustled again, and Biyue walked out.

  Chu Ke's smile on her face couldn't keep up with the speed of her footsteps, and she quickly walked a few steps to come forward, bowing deeply: "Greetings, Third Young Lady."

  Chu Ke hastily smiled and reached out to support her: "Sister, no need for formalities, how did you have time to come here today?"

  Guiyue smiled and said: "Just happened to walk over here, specially came in to take a look at the young lady."

  Chu Ke smiled and nodded: "You're thoughtful." As she spoke, she walked into the house, hearing Bai Yue follow closely behind, apparently looking for her with something on his mind.

  She entered the house, turned around and sat on the edge of the kang, instructing Caiyun: "Go get a cup of tea for Guiyue sister and bring up some pastries."

  Caiyun responded with a sound and left. Cuiyue didn't bother to be polite, obviously, the matter of San Ye couldn't be told to Shizi or Shizi Fei.

  Hu Die painted her eyebrows and also understood the hint, so she left. Chu Ke smiled and asked: "You're looking for me, is there something on your mind? If you have something to say, just say it."

  Guiyue hastily curtsied and asked in a softer tone, "Guiyue has come to ask the young lady what she said to Third Master yesterday."

  Chu Ke's delicate eyebrows rose, her face a mixture of laughter and tears: "What?"

  "Miss, don't be annoyed. I'm not daring to question you, but I really have no choice. I want to ask if there's something going on between you and Third Master, so that I can persuade him."

  "What's wrong with Third Master?" asked Chu Ke'er.

  "Third Master returned to the courtyard last night and sat there without speaking or eating until it was completely dark. He didn't go into the house either. The servants begged him repeatedly, so he asked them to pour him some wine. I thought that drinking wine would warm him up a bit, but who knew that after one drink, he wouldn't stop? He finished two jars and the servants didn't dare give him more. Luckily, by then he had drunk enough, and the servants were able to help Third Master into the house and put him to bed. But this morning, he still hasn't gotten up, even now."

  Chu Xue heard for a long time without speaking, and Bái Yuè was still waiting. But as the waiting time got longer, she couldn't help but want to speak when Chu Xue finally spoke up: "Is it that our master drank too much or is he sick? If he drank too much, sleeping for a while should be fine. If he's sick, let's hurry and find a doctor!"

  "Illness, indeed, is an illness, talking nonsense and having a fever, but some things... are even more worrying than being ill." Biyue had a typical melon seed face, originally looking delicate and weak, now with pale lips and a worried expression, she looked even more fragile. Chu Ke said that she was ill, and he actually believed it.

  "Miss Guiyue, I've already told Third Master what we discussed. If you want to know, go ask him yourself. And as for whether Third Master is ill or not, I don't care to know either, there's no need to tell me these things."

  Gu Yue looked at Chu Qiao's extremely unsightly face, thought for a moment, and suddenly knelt down. Chu Qiao's eyebrows furrowed even tighter as she looked at her and said: "Miss Gu Yue, what else do you want to say?"

  "Miss... Miss, don't be angry, and don't despise Guanyue. Guanyue has a few awkward words to say to you."

  She did so, Chu Ke couldn't help but turn her face away, and could only turn around to say: "What is it that you want to say?"

  "It's really unfair to our Third Master, and it's also a waste of his good intentions towards you. When you girls came to the mansion, Third Master, as the host and your cousin, wanted to treat Second Miss, Third Miss, and Fourth Miss well. Not to mention anything else, just for the sake of making the Duchess happy, he couldn't be cold towards the three misses. At first, he didn't have any intentions and treated the three misses equally, not being particularly close to anyone... But later, when our Third Master understood the Duchess's meaning, he naturally paid more attention to the three misses, and finally, he was different towards you, Third Miss... This is also because our Third Master only knew his own heart at that time. You say our Third Master's previous actions were teasing? That's really a great injustice."

  Chu Ke's face was completely red, and he coldly laughed at her, but didn't say a word.

  "Right now, Third Master and the Princess have made their intentions clear, so of course they will keep a distance from the other two young ladies... The two young ladies did what they did because it was their own decision. Our Third Master didn't want them to do that, but the two young ladies... our Third Master couldn't stop them either. You're blaming Third Master for this, and I think that's really... I feel sorry for Third Master."

  "Unexpectedly, San Ge said everything was fine."

  "Third young lady, please don't misunderstand this matter. How could Third Master say such true words to a lowly servant like me? He kept muttering 'it's not teasing... it's not teasing...' and said some other things. When the three young ladies arrived at the mansion, I was also serving them from front to back. So as long as you connect what Third Master said with ordinary things, you can understand. I'm taking a risk to come find you, young lady, it's really... really because seeing our Third Master like this is heart-wrenching..."

  As she spoke, she pulled out a handkerchief from her sleeve and knelt down on the ground to wipe away her tears.

  Chu Ke looked at her for half a day before saying, "Guiyue, having someone like you who is so devoted to Third Brother is truly a blessing."

  "Three girls slaves..."

  Chu Ke stretched out his hand to stop her from speaking, looking at her and saying: "However, I'm telling you, Cui Yue, can't you just not speak so badly of others and speak so well of yourself?"

  Gu Yue was sobbing, and upon hearing her words, he choked with emotion, lifting his moist eyes to look at her.

  Chu Ke smiled and said, "Since it's clear, I'll also make myself clear. I'm not a fool either. At first, Third Brother's attitude was either purely treating me as his sister or teasing me - I can tell the difference. And another thing, what Second Sister and Fourth Sister said and did, don't say they have nothing to do with our Third Master, but also don't say they have such a big relationship with him up until now... My Second Sister didn't do anything, my Fourth Sister accidentally tripped me, causing your Fifth Master's chin to crack - that's all that happened. We three sisters aren't so shameless and thick-skinned, saying these things to me today. If this were in our Hanlin Mansion, would you know how to deal with it? You'd be dragged out and beaten to death for daring to speak such filthy words in front of an unmarried lady!"

  Her face changed color, biting her lip and staring at her.

  Chu Ke smiled coldly and said, "Of course, the rules of the county prince's mansion are not something I can control, but this is the last time you say these things to me. If there is a next time, I will drag you in front of the county princess and let her judge for herself. Let's see if the servants and slaves of the county prince's mansion dare to speak such nonsense in front of the young lady, and whether the county princess can applaud and praise them."

  Guiyue's face changed, staring straight at her, while Chuyi immediately widened her eyes and stared back at her. Guiyue quickly lowered her head, trembling and said: "This slave deserves to die, this slave doesn't know the height of heaven and earth."

  "Let's go, there's nothing to entertain here."

  Gu Yue got up, lowered his head and rubbed his eyes, slowly backing away to the door, lifting the curtain and walking out.

  Chu Ke's cold smile was continuous, and Biyue dared to speak so openly. On the surface, it seemed like she was speaking good words for Zhu Yuxuan, but there was another layer of meaning. It was a reminder to Chu Ke that Biyue had a different status by Zhu Yuxuan's side. Although she was just a concubine, she knew everything about Zhu Yuxuan's affairs and thoughts.

  Of course, this idea is very subtle, and she did a great job. In the current situation, others can only think that she is too concerned about Zhu Yuxu. Concern leads to chaos, and what she did was not wrong. No one can pick out her faults. As Zhu Yuxu's concubine, it is natural for her to be devoted to him.

  Does Zhu Yuxu know that she came here, Chu Keqi doesn't want to know now. She has been disturbed by Zhu Yuxu's late spring aunt once before. Now even a maid comes over to express her loyalty to him, which makes her very annoyed. Because she never had any thoughts about Zhu Yuxu, the feeling at first was just indifference, but later it turned into disgust. Therefore, she is disgusted with these people choosing her to express their private intentions, and the more they do this, the more she dislikes Zhu Yuxu.

  Gu Yue retreated and went out, Chu Ke called out: "Come in"

  The painted eyebrows and painted butterflies at the door hurried in: "Third Sister?"

  "Painting eyebrows, go take a look, where are the colored clouds? Holding a cup of tea, why hasn't she come back yet?"

  "Yes."

  Hua Mei hastily went out, she walked to the door of the tea room, just about to go in and take a look, Ping Li was laughing in the courtyard, beckoning her: "Sister Hua Mei"

  She walked over and asked her: "Have you seen Caiyun?"

  "Looking for Caiyun sister, I just came from the kitchen and saw her still waiting for dessert in the kitchen. It should be out of the pot by now?"

  Hua Mei hesitated for a moment and then went straight to the kitchen.

  Ping Li watched her back turn out of the corner door, and then looked at the tea room with a tense face. The tea room immediately came out with someone, who was Caiyun, holding a tray with a teapot, a teacup, and a plate of snacks. As soon as she came out, she stared at Ping Li for a moment, and Ping Li nodded and quickly walked away.

  Caiyun didn't enter the house directly, but instead walked to the side of the corner door first. Then she turned around and walked back towards the house, lightly stepping onto the porch outside. In a soft voice, she said: "Miss?"

  "Come in." A voice came from inside the house.

  Caiyun held the tray with one hand and lifted the curtain with the other, walking in with a calm smile on her face. "Miss, tea..." She didn't finish speaking because she saw that there was no one else in the room, so she had to make an unexpected expression...

  It is by.
