Yun Chou's pupils clenched dramatically and her breathing stopped.
"What is it, ma'am?"
Seeing that she looked different, Xie Jingyu's heart grew slightly uneasy.
Yunchu retracted her gaze and stabilized her voice, "Ange's words are not unreasonable, exactly how to dispose of惟哥儿, husband and old madam will discuss it again, I have a bit of a headache, I'll go back first."
When she finished, she turned and headed out the door.
Walking outside, she saw Jiu'er kneeling in the courtyard, looking like she was waiting to be sent down at any moment.
"There is nothing for you here." Yun Chu looked at her and said, "The second young master is injured and has a big temper, so don't lean over there for now, I'm short of a sweeping maid in my courtyard, so you can help me for two days first."
Without waiting for Jiu'er to say anything, Yun Chou hurriedly walked towards the back.
This is the one that is the closest to the date grove sub, situated at the very back of the Xie Mansion, and outside the courtyard wall here is a small alley in the capital.
After the guests dispersed, Xie Fu's subordinates all went to the front yard to clean up the mess, and not a single person could be seen here.
"Huh, didn't I say that the Xie family is hosting a banquet today?" Chu Hongyu leaned over the wall and looked left and right, "How come there's no one?"
"Little, Little World Prince!" Ah Mao's voice came from below, "You and the Little Sheriff get down on the wall, my subordinate is about to let go."
Chu Hongyu hurriedly climbed up the wall and took his sister's hand, "Changsheng, you grab this brick and come up with your legs stirring."
The little girl's little pink fingers grasped the wall bricks and climbed upward with great force, her little face was suffocating red, and she could not get up.
"Changsheng, if you can't get up, we won't be able to see Mother." Chu Hongyu reached out to help her, and said to the people below, "Ah Mao, you're a little higher, a little higher."
Ah Mao had a bitter face, who let him grow too short, no matter how much tiptoe can not be taller.
Luckily, the little girl worked hard and finally climbed the wall.
Ah Mao let out a fierce sigh of relief, he breathed into his palms, then stepped on the wall with both feet, leaping up the wall as if flying, seeing that no one was inside the courtyard wall, he jumped down, then raised his head and stretched out his arms, "Little Sheriff Master, jump down, don't be afraid, my subordinates will catch you."
It was the first time Chu Changsheng had done such a thing.
She stood up shakily and looked down, dizzy and scared.
But the mere thought that her mother lived here, that she would soon see her, gave her a heart full of courage.
Her long feather-like eyelashes fanned out, then closed, and she jumped downward with open hands, falling into Ah Mao's arms, who carefully placed her on the ground and raised her head, "Little Shizi, come down quickly, my subordinate seems to have heard the sound of someone talking."
Chu Hong Yu nodded his head, he had just gotten up when he saw two people appearing there at the corner, he was about to hide when he realized that the person walking in front was Yun Chu.
He was so happy that he opened his mouth to call out to his mother.
Yun Chou raised her hand in a hurry and placed her index finger on her lips, making a silencing gesture.
The Xie family were all in the neighborhood, and if the young son made any noise that alarmed the Xie family, it would be a tool for the Xie family to climb up to the Pingxi Royal House.
"Shh!"
Chu Hongyu followed the gesture.
Perhaps he was too happy, he didn't stand still, and his whole body fell downward.
Yun Chou's heart stopped in fear.
Luckily, Hairy was standing right under the courtyard wall and caught the man in time.
"Brother Yu, didn't I tell you last time that you can't sneak into the Xie family in the future?" Yun Chu purposely looks at him with a stern face, "It's not enough for you to come by yourself, but you even dragged little county princess to climb the wall with you, what if you fall down?"
Chu Hong Yu said to his finger, "My sister dreams of my mother every day, it just so happens that father is away, so I brought my sister here to meet with my mother, mother, look, this is my sister, her name is Chu Changsheng."
Before he could finish his words, he saw his sister, who had always been timid and fearful, roll into Yun Chou's arms like a snowball.
Yun Chou was full of tenderness as she hugged her up, "Changsheng, after not seeing you for so many days, I miss you too."
Chu Hongyu stared round with unbelievably dark eyes, "Mother, when did you and Changsheng meet, how come I don't know?"
"A few days ago, Changsheng left the house in the middle of the night and happened to be met by me." Yun Chu's other hand leads Chu Hong Yu, "This is not the place to talk, go back to my courtyard first."
Hearing Frost had long ago retired all the underlings on this strip, and walked all the way back without meeting anyone.
Arriving at the familiar courtyard, Chu Hongyu was more at ease, he smiled and said, "Mother, my father received an imperial decree to go to Jizhou on business, and won't be back for half a month, so my sister and I will be staying here with you for this half month."
Yun Chou frowned, "Half a month is too long, I'm afraid it won't work."
"Then how long can we stay." Chu Hongyu wrapped his arms around her neck, "If mother says to stay for a few days, we'll stay for a few days and listen to mother."
The little girl also climbed onto her knees and wrapped her arms around her neck from the other side, the two little ones were quite strong despite their small size, but they seemed to be competing as if they had to have her neck on their side, and she felt like she was going to get a cramp from having her neck twisted around.
Chu Hong Yu was a little angry, he shared his mother with his sister, but his sister preferred to keep it to herself, he should have known not to bring his sister here.
However, once he saw the extra glow in his sister's dark eyes, he felt again that the trip had been worth it.
My sister has been in poor health since she was a child, she is obviously four years old, but she is even thinner and shorter than other people's three year olds, and she can't speak even at this age.
The eunuch said that the sister's voice is not a problem, because of the constant weakness and illness caused by another disease, unwilling to communicate with people, eyes can not see others, the small world as if he is the only brother, and occasionally can see the father, but the premise is that the father of certain words happen to be said in the sister's heart tip.
It was the first time he had ever seen his sister so accepting of another person.
He loved his mother so much, he knew that his sister would love her as much as he did.
"Stay for two days first." Yun Chu also likes these two little ones, she wraps one arm around one, "If you stay in the Xie family, you can only stay in my courtyard, you're not allowed to go out as you please, can you do that?"
Chu Hongyu's voice rang out, "Yes."
The little girl blinked her big eyes and nodded.
Yun Chou nudged the two on the tip of their noses, "You two have become little mud monkeys from climbing the wall just now, bathe first."
She was also really convinced that these two little guys sneaked in, and even made Ah Mao carry a bag with a change of clothes inside.
She had Listening Frost and Listening Snow bathe Yu'er while she personally bathed the little girl, and upon removing the dress from the little girl's body, her heart was instantly twisted by a large palm.
She knew that the little girl was thin, but she didn't expect to be thin like this, her whole body was full of bones, there was no meat at all, the only meat might have grown on her face, which made her so inviting.
If you look closely, you can also see that there are surprisingly pinholes all over her body.
The pinholes were so obvious that it didn't look like someone had intentionally mistreated them, but rather like marks from years of acupuncture.
"Changsheng, Changsheng ..."
She called out these two words, vaguely seeming to understand why King Pingxi had given the little county princess such a name.
She bathed the little girl with mixed emotions, and was busy when Hearing Frost's voice sounded outside the door, "His Excellency has come over, saying that he has something important to discuss with madam."
Yun Chou fished the little girl out of the tub, dried the water droplets on her body, put on her skirt, and smiled, "I'll go out for a while."
The little girl grabbed the hem of her coat and looked at her with wide eyes, as if she was afraid that if she left she would never come back.
"Be good, I'll be right back."
The little pink hands released her then.
