♂?,,
After sitting for a while, the front suddenly started firing firecrackers, and the atmosphere inside and outside the house became ten times more lively. The three of them all stood up, and Zhu Yuhuan said: "Sister, let's go to the front and take a look at the situation. If nothing happens, we'll come back. Today is definitely chaotic in the mansion!"
Chu Ke nodded: "I'll go tell the old lady and come back!" Now, she was also afraid of making trouble outside the festival. Today's day was simply thrilling.
Zhu Yuheng wanted to say something, but in the end didn't say it, only gazing deeply at her and softly saying "be careful". He then turned around and left with Zhu Yuhan.
Chu Xue had a strange feeling in her heart, Zhu Yi Chen's actions were so obvious, she couldn't possibly not feel anything. Before, she only wanted to leave the Duke's mansion, thinking about how to deal with the Crown Prince's consort, Chu Yun Ting and Zhu Yi Chuo. Now that returning home was settled, she couldn't help but think again, what exactly was going on between her and second brother?
It seems that there must have been something in the past, to make him so dead-hearted... Thinking of this reason, a kind of anxiety and annoyance rose up in her heart, which she had never felt before. She was annoyed that she didn't know anything, and even more annoyed... She couldn't quite put her finger on the feeling, but every time she thought about Zhu Yuxuan and Chu Keqi's past, she felt very uncomfortable...
After a moment of confusion, her mind was filled with thoughts of this and that, but nothing came to fruition. She sat blankly for a while before getting up and leaving the garden to head back to the main house. The princess had arranged for Old Lady Chu to stay in the side courtyard, and when she led Yu Feng into the courtyard, she didn't see any of the servant girls, probably because they had all gone to watch the commotion of the new bride entering the house.
Chu Ke walked up to the door of Mrs. Chu's house, just about to call out to Yu Feng, when she heard voices coming from inside, and they were talking about her.
"Looking at the county king's wife and Third Master, I thought it was Third Miss who had caught their eye! Who would have thought that Third Master had actually set his sights on Fourth Miss?" The speaker's voice was hoarse with age, an old woman named Men Shi who always followed Old Lady Chu around.
Because her surname is particularly unusual, and she only has a maiden name, at her age, she should have been prefixed with her husband's surname, and she is also one of the most trusted by Mrs. Chu, so Chu Kui has a deep impression of her.
The old lady from Chu's family spoke up, her voice carrying a hint of anger: "Originally, I didn't want to make this marriage... those little girls are all good for nothing!"
Chu Xue heard this and her heart skipped a beat!
The old voice in the house was still saying: "Old lady, don't get angry, San Ye is a progressive one. If he also becomes our son-in-law, it will be beneficial to us."
"Hmm..."
"It's okay, it's not the second or third daughter-in-law, and it doesn't count as ruining the old lady's things."
……
Madam Chu didn't respond, and Chu Ke's heart was in turmoil! What is this old lady thinking?! Just as she wanted to listen carefully, the Madame Door spoke up: "I wonder if the new bride has entered yet?"
She hastily turned around and signaled to Yu Feng, who quickly walked a little further away at the corner and said: "Miss, slow down."
Then footsteps came over at a normal volume, walked to Chu Xiangui's side, and the two waited for a moment. The door curtain had already been lifted, and Men Shi smiled and came out: "Third sister has arrived?"
Chu Ke nodded and smiled, asking: "Is grandma there?"
"Come in, please." The door was lifted and held open. Chu Ke'er walked in with her head down, saw Old Lady Chu sitting on the couch, and hurriedly went forward to pay her respects: "Grandmother is already up? Just in time, it's getting lively outside, the bride must be entering now."
Mrs. Chu nodded: "Alright, come and sit down."
Chu Ke sat down, having just heard the old lady's voice with a hint of anger, but looking at her now, there was no sign of anger, only a kind gaze, although her expression was as calm as ever, yet indeed, full of gentle breeze and fine rain.
Chu Ke'er suppressed the various thoughts in her heart, smiled and said: "Grandma got up early this morning, didn't she? When are we leaving? It's almost noon..."
The old lady from Chu smiled: "Isn't it a hurry, isn't it 'pleased and forget about Shu'?"
Chu Ke smiled and said, "Those were just Second Sister's jokes. The children wouldn't really be happy to stay here and forget about their homes. This isn't our own home, of course they want to go back soon! They've been thinking about their grandmother a lot these days! Grandmother, are you taking the kids back this time?
Mrs. Chu had not spoken yet, but the door lady had already smiled and interrupted: "The girl is getting more and more talkative! The daughter of the Chu family will naturally follow the Chu family back home, who would stay in someone else's house and not leave?"
Chu Xue said with an even more embarrassed expression: "I'm afraid if Big Sister keeps us here..."
Her face was tense with anxiety, like an abandoned child, but she didn't finish what she was saying, leaving a meaningful tail to her words, which actually brought out Lady Chu's concerns. If it weren't for the fact that Crown Princess Chuyun Xue had insisted on keeping these children last time, something like this might not have happened today either. Thinking of this, she sighed inwardly and patted Chu Keqi: "Don't worry, we'll leave together tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?" Chu Ke asked, then hurriedly said: "Alright, I'll go back and pack now."
"Huh? Don't you see the bride?" Mrs. Meng hastily said with a smile, "Today there are quite a few young ladies around your age who have come."
Chu Ke shook her head: "Don't want to see, it's been lively for so many days, that's enough."
Madam Chu frowned upon hearing this, a thoughtful expression appearing on her face. Madam Meng hastily smiled and said: "That young lady can go back now, tomorrow I will personally invite the young lady."
Chu Ke nodded and followed Mrs. Chu out.
It's also helpless to say that, Mrs. Chu had her own ideas, and it was still related to the lifelong major event. She didn't have any leads either, so she followed her brother's approach, stirring up the water, maybe some things would reveal their true face after stirring up the water.
It seems that the county king's mansion can escape by itself, but when it returns to the mansion, Chu Mansion is not necessarily a comfortable place either. Old Lady Chu is also not an easy-going person.
Back in his own courtyard, just as he reached the gate, he heard a deafening explosion of firecrackers from the east wing, which should have meant that they had finished worshiping heaven and earth.
Chu Ke entered the house, her things had been packed up, originally there wasn't much stuff, at that time when she came, she thought it was just a guest visit, clothes and jewelry weren't brought, after staying for these days, several pieces of clothing were purchased, some jewelry was also given by this person and that person, nothing else.
They were drawing eyebrows and butterflies because she was about to leave, her heart was no longer here, hearing the commotion over there, both of them couldn't sit still.
Chu Ke didn't bother with them, but instead called Yu Feng into the house and asked in a low voice: "I'm going back home tomorrow with my family, but I'm a bit worried about leaving you here. Today's events won't be forgiven by Third Master, if you're still alone at Pin Mei Xuan, it's really quite dangerous. Should I talk to Fifth Master and have you go serve by his side?"
Yu Feng bit her lip and lowered her head: "Yu Feng originally wanted to follow the young lady, but in fact, my father, mother, and brother are all working in the mansion..."
Chu Xue nodded understandingly: "Alright then, it's settled. I'll talk to Fifth Master before we leave tomorrow and go over there."
"Thank you, miss." Yufeng gratefully bowed her head down.
Chu Kei hastily helped her up, sighed and wanted to say something, but hesitated and didn't speak out, only saying: "I think I'll take a rest, today it's unlikely that we'll go out again, so let's just rest at home. The doctor said the neck is fine, but still need to be careful not to make any big movements."
Yu Feng's heart was filled with gratitude, thinking that the young lady was also a good master and had great trust in her. If she could really follow this master, it would be a bright path for herself. Unfortunately, she was born into the Duke's household and couldn't leave. Now that the young lady's arrangements were settled, although Yu Feng secretly sighed in her heart, she felt relatively at peace.
Chu Xue originally wanted to go back home early the next day, but who knew she couldn't rest at all. Just as she was about to lie down for a while, Hua Mei lifted the curtain and came in, her voice filled with excitement: "Miss! The eldest miss is asking you to come to the front!"
"Why is Big Sister looking for me?"
"There were many female guests arriving up front, and the young lady said that everyone knew the girl was living in the mansion, so if they didn't go, it would be very impolite." Huà Méi said with a smile.
Chu Ke sighed, but this wasn't her own home, so she couldn't be too reckless. She could only sit up, and after a while, she lazily tidied herself up and instructed the overly excited Hua Mei and Hua Die to follow her. Yu Feng told her to rest in bed, as everything had already been settled, and everyone should calm down.
Who knew that Yu Feng was very loyal and hurriedly followed up with a smile: "Miss, I also want to go see the excitement!"
In front of Hua Mei and Hua Die, Chu Ke couldn't say anything. Looking at her tightly covered neck, she could only nod: "Okay then."
Yu Feng followed behind, and the master and servant came to the front. As expected, there were many women on this side. Jin Shu was exhausted and greeted people in the crowd. When she saw her coming, she said very rudely: "Inside are the young ladies and madams of the Blue and Xu families. Help me accompany them for a while." And then she left.
Chu Xue was stunned for a moment, then forced a smile. It seemed that she had indeed stayed in the Duke's mansion for too long, as they no longer treated her like an outsider!
She had to go in, and just heard a lady saying: "The princess of the prince's mansion doesn't come out to greet, it really is chaotic, this young lady's temperament is indeed eccentric everywhere..."
"The Crown Princess, she still has the face to see people today..."
Several people covered their mouths and snickered, Chu Kei walked in with a smile all over her face. Several people hurriedly stopped smiling, Chu Kei smiled and exchanged greetings with everyone, then sat back down to continue chatting.
It is by.
