Time travel! The little princess came down the mountain and made a scene in the palace

Xixia Shucheng

Chu Nanxi brought the refugees to the outside of Shucheng. He asked someone to notify his father in advance. City Lord Chu ordered the butler and Zhou Ming to wait at the city gate.

"Young Master, you are back."

"Butler, did my father ask you to come here?"

"City Lord, order this old servant to come and take everyone to the house outside the city."

“Is the house ready?”

"It snowed so heavily that only half of the building was built. Construction will resume in the early spring of next year. Now we can only squeeze in and have a peaceful year."

The refugees were so excited that they were incoherent. Only they themselves knew what kind of life they had lived in the past two months. As long as they had a place to stay, they were satisfied and did not dare to ask for anything else.

All the refugees knelt down and said, "Thank you, City Lord Chu, for building a shelter for us. It's okay even if we are all crowded together. As long as we have a place to stay, we are satisfied."

"We will never forget the kindness of City Lord Chu."

"Everyone, get up quickly. Make do with what you have now. We'll build other houses after the New Year. Food and drink will be delivered to you. From now on, you'll have to rely on yourselves."

"Thank you, Young Master Chu, for saving all of us. We will never forget your kindness in saving our lives."

"Everyone in the world will encounter difficulties. It is fate that I met you."

"Master Chu, good people will be rewarded."

"You will follow the housekeeper to settle down in the suburbs and remember everything from now on."

"Thank you, Master Chu."

"Butler, take everyone outside the city to prevent the people in the city from panicking."

"Yes."

Chu Nanxi thought that Su Zhiruo was the eldest daughter of the county magistrate's mansion after all, so how could she be allowed to live with a group of men? It would be better to bring her back to the mansion and settle her down, and then let them move in after the house is built in the spring.

"Miss Su, you and Chunmei will come back with me to live in the mansion. We can go back in the spring when the house is finished."

"Thank you for your kindness, Master Chu. We should follow everyone and live outside the city. If a girl like me follows you back home, others will gossip about me and the young lady will also misunderstand me."

"How can a young lady like you live with a bunch of grown men? You should come back with me and I'll explain everything to everyone. Besides, you are my benefactor. How can I just stand by and watch you in trouble? This time, consider it as repaying your kindness."

"Will your wife be unhappy?"

"Don't worry, come back with me. My wife is kind-hearted and won't misunderstand anything else."

"Thank you, Mr. Chu."

The housekeeper looked at Chu Nanxi and hesitated to speak, but couldn't help but said: "Young Master..."

"What else does the butler need?"

The housekeeper looked at Su Zhiruo and shook his head, "It's okay, I will take everyone out of the city."

"Go!"

He thought to himself that if the young master brought a girl back home, what if the young lady got angry? But how could a servant dare to refute the young master's decision?

The steward led a group of exhausted refugees out of the city to prevent the people inside from panicking.

They came to the outside of the city and looked at many half-finished houses. This would be their future residence. Although the house was only half built, it was a great comfort to the refugees who had experienced a long journey.

There was a glimmer of hope in their eyes. The housekeeper began to arrange for people to move in. They had a place to shelter from the wind and rain in the cold weather, and they saw hope of survival.

They all went into the room and began to tidy up and arrange it. Although the room was simple, at least there was a shelter from the wind and rain.

The children were playing in the room with innocent smiles on their faces; the adults were busy cleaning up and preparing for their future life.

Chu Nanxi brought Su Zhiruo and her servant to the gate of the mansion. The gatekeeper saw Chu Nanxi coming back and said excitedly: "Young Master, you are back."

"I'm back. Are my parents in the mansion?"

"In reply to the young master, the city lord, his wife, the young lady, and the young lady are all waiting for you to return to the mansion."

Chu Nanxi couldn't wait to see her family whom she hadn't seen for several months, so she went to the main hall and saw the whole family sitting there.

"Dad, Mom, wife, little sister, I'm back."

"Brother, you are finally back."

Song Liuli came over with a big belly and a big smile on his face, but his smile froze when he saw the two disheveled girls behind him.

Chu Nanxi quickly explained: "Wife, let me introduce this to you, Miss Su Zhiruo, and that is her maid Chunmei."

Su Zhiruo and Chunmei quickly knelt before Song Liuli, "Su Zhiruo greets the young lady."

Song Liuli's face was gloomy. She had been looking forward to seeing Chu Nanxi come back for a long time.

How could he bring a girl back home? Was she a concubine? I had given birth to children for him in the mansion, but he was living a life of luxury and debauchery. All men are bad. Tears welled up in my eyes, but I tried hard not to let them fall.

Chu Nanxi saw that Song Liuli looked unhappy, and asked anxiously, "Wife, what's wrong with you?"

"Then I want to ask you what good things you have done."

"I didn't do anything. I just wanted to come back to be with you and the children as soon as possible."

"they……"

"Wife, don't you remember Miss Su? She is Miss Su, the legitimate daughter of Magistrate Su, who set up the arena in Yong'an City!"

Song Liuli muttered, "Miss Su, the daughter of Magistrate Su? Why are they here?"

"The flood this time happened in their county. I met them on the road and took them back to Shucheng with the refugees."

"If she hadn't given us the three hundred taels of silver to help us out, we would have had to sleep in the stable. It was you who encouraged me to fight in the ring to earn money. Have you forgotten that?"

Everyone in the Chu family came over to look at Su Zhiruo and her servant, and they knelt down to greet the Chu family.

"Lord Chu, Madam Chu, sorry to bother you. We will move out of the city now."

"Miss Su, please stay. I was also in Yong'an City at that time. You saved us with three hundred taels of silver. You have done us a favor. Now that you are in trouble, how can we just stand by and watch?"

"Just stay in the mansion and enjoy your kindness."

"Mr. Chu helped us get rid of the bandits in Yong'an City. You don't owe me anything. It's better for me to live outside the city."

"There are only grown men outside the city. How can a girl like you live with them? It's safer to live in the mansion."

"Excuse me, Madam."

Mrs. Chu and Chu Yue looked at Song Liuli, worried that she might invite a wolf into the house out of her kindness.

What if Miss Sue clings to Nancy as a lifeline? The family will be in chaos.

Mrs. Chu wanted to remind Chu Nancy, “Nancy…”

The lady had just said something when she was interrupted by City Lord Chu, "Xiaoyu, take Miss Su to the wing room to wash up, and come over for lunch later."

"Yes."

"Miss Su, please..."

Before leaving, Su Zhiruo and her servant knelt down to greet the Chu family, then followed Xiaoyu to the backyard.

Mrs. Chu couldn't wait to ask them when they walked away: "Nancy, why did you bring Miss Su back to the mansion? Wouldn't it be better for them to live outside the city with you?"

"Mother, my master taught me to be grateful and to be thankful. Miss Su has been kind to me, so how can I bear to see her living with so many men? What if someone badly tries to ruin Miss Su's reputation?"

"And his father, Magistrate Su, was a good official. When the flood came, he commanded the people to flee but lost his own life. We should treat his family well instead of letting the two girls live with a bunch of men."

"This flood caused her to lose her beloved parents and brother. How can she face the world if she loses her innocence?"

"Nancy, I'm just afraid..."

"Mom, what are you thinking about? Miss Su is not the kind of person you think. She didn't marry me just because I won the fight, and she won't do anything now."

"You, don't regret it."

"Mom, is your son such an untrustworthy person?"

"Hard to say."

Chu Nanxi looked at Song Liuli and comforted her: "Wife, don't listen to my mother's nonsense. I know what kind of person I am, and you know it too. They are just staying for a while. When the house is built in the spring, they will move out."

"My husband, what happened back then was also my and Qiu Shui's fault. That's why you had to fight in the ring to earn money, and finally you owed Miss Su a favor. Miss Su is a good person and I believe in her, and I believe in you too."

"I knew my wife wouldn't misunderstand anything."

Chu Nanxi looked at Song Liuli's bulging belly with a happy smile on her face. She placed her hand gently on her belly, feeling the beating of life.

"Wife, how are you and the child?"

Song Liuli's face was filled with maternal radiance and her eyes were full of tenderness.

"We're all fine. We just missed you a little."

Chu Nanxi felt an endless warmth surge in his heart. If there weren't so many people around, he would definitely hug the mother and son tightly.

Suddenly seeing Lu Chen standing between them, he deliberately said: "Lord Lu, why are you in my house? Did Junior Sister ask you to come to Shucheng for something?"

Chu Yue immediately lowered her head and smiled shyly. Lu Chen said firmly: "I came here for Yue Er. The Third Princess has no idea about this."

"I came here for Yue'er. You sound so affectionate. Do your parents agree?"

"I disagree."

"My mother has the final say in our family. If she disagrees, you have to work hard, otherwise my sister's lifelong happiness will fall into the hands of others."

"I will certainly ask Madam's consent."

"Prince Lu, keep going, I'm optimistic that you'll become my brother-in-law."

"Brother knows me best. You've worked hard all the way. Come over and rest."

"Yuer, you flatter me very well. It's a pity that I can't be your mother's boss. However, I fully support your marriage."

"People will be happy for the rest of their lives only if they are with the person they love, instead of being picky about things."

"Mother, I am going to Zheng State to attend the wedding of my senior brother and junior sister. My junior sister has told me that Yue'er likes Prince Lu."

"She said that Prince Lu is a man worthy of entrusting her life to. You should give them a chance. He has shown great sincerity by coming to Shucheng. Why do you want to separate them by force?"

"How would you feel if someone wanted to separate you and your father? You were young once, too. Why let your children suffer from the pain of missing each other?"

Chu Yue was so excited that she almost gave Chu Nanxi a big hug.

"Nancy, come back and spend some time with your wife, and don't worry about anything else."

"I will definitely spend time with my wife and children, but I also want you to understand how painful it is to be loved but not loved. Can you bear to let Yue'er suffer this kind of pain?"

Xiaoyu came with Su Zhiruo and her servant. After changing into new clothes, she immediately looked like a lady from a noble family.

"Miss Su, please sit down."

"Thank you ma'am."

"I'll be more casual living at home in the future."

"Yes."

The maid came over to report that the meal was ready, and everyone walked towards the dining table. Chu Nanxi supported Song Liuli and took care of her carefully.

At the dinner table, everyone was chatting and laughing, and they were having a great time. "
