In the Qionghua Courtyard, Chu Zhao had breakfast and was lying on the bed pretending to be sick. The boy from the outer court came to tell him that the Fifth Young Master Chu was outside the house asking for an audience.
Chu Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the fifth son of Chu should be Chu Huai, and hurriedly asked the servant to invite him in.
Chu Huai was wearing a half-worn moon-white robe. He was thin and timid and entered the door with a bit of timidity. He politely greeted Chu Zhao and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days. How are you doing, eldest sister?"
Chu Zhao looked at him and thought of Aao.
A'ao is also so thin, but compared to Chu Huai's gentleness, A'ao is more unruly and wild.
"I'm fine, how are you?" Chu Zhao asked with a smile.
"I'm fine too." Chu Huai sat down on the chair brought by Qing Yu, clasped his hands and hesitated for a moment, then hesitantly said, "Sister, I have discussed it with my father and mother for a few days, they, they..."
"They don't plan to take me back to live here, and they asked you not to meddle in other people's business, right?" Seeing that he was in trouble, Chu Zhao directly spoke up for him.
Chu Huai's eyes widened immediately: "Chang, how did eldest sister know?"
"Is it difficult to guess?" Chu Zhao said, "You can think of such things with your toes."
"..." Chu Huai's face fell in frustration.
He is so stupid, even his eldest sister's toes are smarter than him.
"Sister, I'm sorry, I really tried my best." The young man said apologetically, "I can't take you home, but I will come to see you from time to time. If you need anything, just tell me."
"It's okay, don't take it to heart." Chu Zhao comforted him warmly, "You are a good boy. My sister knows what you mean. If something happens to me, I will be the first to trouble you."
"No trouble, we are a family and we should help each other." Chu Huai scratched his head and said sheepishly.
The spring sunshine streamed in through the window, illuminating the room and making Chu Zhao's heart brighten.
Since she woke up from the coffin, she has been living an unreal life. Her whole figure seems to be suspended in mid-air, without any sense of being grounded.
But the young man in front of her, who was slightly childish and timidly called her eldest sister, actually gave her an inexplicable sense of belonging.
Maybe this is blood and family ties!
"What do you do at home, study or learn to do business?" She asked Chu Huai with a smile.
Chu Huai shook his head: "I didn't study, and I didn't learn to do business."
"Why?" Chu Zhao asked again.
Chu Huai hesitated for a moment, looking troubled.
Chu Zhao thought for a moment and knew that his situation at home must be very difficult.
"It's okay." Chu Zhao said, "You go back and tell your father, just say it's me who said it, and ask him to arrange a job for you doing odd jobs at the bank, so you don't have to waste time at home all day long. I'll wait for you to get started after a while. I’ll teach you what to do next.”
Chu Huai's eyes lit up for a moment, and he hurriedly agreed, "Okay, eldest sister, I'll take note of it, and I'll tell my father when I get back."
"Yes." Chu Zhao nodded, "I know very little about what's going on at home. Don't go back in a hurry. Tell me about the situation at home."
"No, Princess!" The boy who brought Chu Huai in called at the door, "The chief steward said that the fifth young master is a foreigner and cannot stay in the inner courtyard for too long, so he asked me to send him out early."
Chu Zhao immediately turned cold.
"He is very lenient. Go and tell him that I will keep the fifth young master in the house for a whole day today. If he has any objections, let him clean his neck and come to see me."
The boy was startled, covered his neck and ran away. As soon as he turned around, he bumped into Murong Xiao who was coming to settle a score with Chu Zhao.
"Your Majesty, have mercy on me, Your Majesty, have mercy on me..." The boy was almost frightened to death and knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
"roll!"
Murong Xiao had no time to pay attention to him, kicked him away and strode into the house.
"Chu Zhao, you..."
Before the word "ugly woman" came out of my mouth, I saw that Chu Huai was there, so I swallowed it back and said with a cold face: "When did you come?"
"I just arrived a while ago." Chu Huai quickly stood up to greet him, "I originally planned to visit the eldest sister and then go to pay homage to the prince, but I didn't expect the prince to come too."
Murong Xiao was even more unhappy: "Why, in your eyes, it doesn't matter that I am not your sister, right?"
Chu Huai was stunned and hurriedly explained: "The prince misunderstood. It was because my sister was sick, so I went to see my sister first. If the prince was ill in bed, I would naturally go to see the prince first."
"..." Murong Xiao almost lost his breath and was so angry that he died.
He suspected that Chu Huai cursed him intentionally, but he had no evidence.
Chu Zhao had a hard time holding back his laughter. He was afraid that he would embarrass Chu Huai, so he rushed to say, "Ah Huai, go back first and come back to talk to sister in a few days."
Chu Huai was reluctant to leave, not daring to say anything in front of Murong Xiao, he bowed and left.
Murong Xiao had a sullen face, and after Chu Huai left, he asked Chu Zhao: "Didn't the princess vomit blood? Why do I see you in such good spirits?"
"Yeah." Chu Zhao withdrew his gaze and lay back lazily, "It was originally bad, but it got better when I saw my brother coming."
"Keep pretending!" Murong Xiao stared at her, his handsome face full of impatience, "Chu Zhao, don't be so petty in front of me. Now, you can either go and diagnose the old lady's pulse, or I will reward you. A whipping, your choice!"
"His Majesty, please kill me!" Chu Zhao coughed weakly, "If I die, no one in the world can cure the old lady's illness."
"you……"
Murong Xiao really wanted to kill someone.
However, if someone is really killed, what will happen to the mother’s illness?
He also expected this woman to help him win over Liu Zongqian!
"Get out!" He waved the two girls away and patiently explained to Chu Zhao, "Concubine Su is the youngest daughter of the prefect of Yunzhou. I have something to do now and have to cooperate with the prefect to release her. This cooperation It’s easier to talk about, do you understand?”
Chu Zhao ignored him and turned over to face the wall.
"..." Murong Xiao pinched his eyebrows and said seriously, "Chu Zhao, although I hate you, you and your father both know what I want to do. You must cooperate with me well and wait for me." To achieve great things in the future, the benefits of your Chu family will naturally be indispensable."
Chu Zhao still ignored him and even closed his eyes.
Murong Xiao had never spoken down to a woman like this before. He was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. After staring at the back of Chu Zhao's head and killing her eight hundred times with a knife, he said helplessly: "Don't you want that horse slave to drive your car for you? , I just promise you.”
"I don't want it." Chu Zhao said, "It's just a child. Your Majesty will guard against him like a thief. If you really become a coachman for me, Your Majesty will have to doubt that I am not innocent with him every day."
"No." Murong Xiao said warmly, "You also said that he is just a child, and I am not so narrow-minded."
"This is what you said." Chu Zhao turned over and sat up, "The prince has already broken his promise to me once. If he goes back on his word this time, I will never treat the old lady again."
"No, I am not that kind of person." Murong Xiao assured her.
Chu Zhao said: "I'm not worried. Your Majesty, please write me a note!"
"You're almost done!" Murong Xiao gritted his teeth, lifted her quilt without any explanation, picked her up and left, "Go and see the old lady properly, if you dare to touch your nose or face again, I won't spare you."
"Hey, you..." Chu Zhao struggled subconsciously, "let me go, I can walk by myself."
"Shut up!" Murong Xiao glared at her, "Do you think I want to hug you? I want to reassure the old lady."
"..."
Fine!
Chu Zhao rolled his eyes and silently closed his mouth.
Anyway, she had gotten her wish, nothing else mattered.
Beiyuan, who was standing outside, once again saw the prince carrying the princess out. He couldn't help but wonder if the princess had bewitched the prince. How did he feel that the prince was now addicted to hugging the princess?
Murong Xiao himself didn't realize it. After walking for a while, he suddenly thought of something and asked Chu Zhao: "Could you be making such a fuss just to get that horse slave?"
Chu Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the fifth son of Chu should be Chu Huai, and hurriedly asked the servant to invite him in.
Chu Huai was wearing a half-worn moon-white robe. He was thin and timid and entered the door with a bit of timidity. He politely greeted Chu Zhao and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days. How are you doing, eldest sister?"
