I was a queen in ancient times, no, a maid!

Zhao Rulan walked out first, followed by Ziwei, Zhijin and Zhuer, all holding something in their hands.

Cheng Yu didn't expect that the lady would prepare so many things for the prince.

She usually doesn't take care of the work in the sewing room, but seeing so many things, she thought that the sewing room must not be idle at all.

"Take all of them to the carriage outside for the prince."

Seeing Zhao Shiyan looking at Cheng Yu with a vague expression, Zhao Rulan knew what her brother meant. He had just told her that he found this little maid quite interesting.

This man, what he fears most is being interesting.

Interesting means interesting.

Although she was her brother's concubine, Zhao Rulan felt that it was unfair to Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu is so smart, has good cooking skills, and is also a capable person around her. Zhao Rulan is reluctant to let her be a concubine, even if she is a concubine for her own brother.

Zhao Shiyan smiled and blamed Zhao Rulan for preparing too many things.

Before leaving, he said, take good care of Yanyan.

Yanyan is the daughter of Zhao Rulan, and has been brought to be seen by her uncle Zhao Shiyan.

Zhao Shiyan likes Yan Jie'er very much and is very happy for her.

He said that when he came to see the child next time, maybe the child would be able to walk.

Both Zhao Shiyan and Zhao Rulan knew that it was not easy for them to meet each other, especially since Zhao Shiyan was in the military camp and could not return to Kyoto without being summoned.

Seeing her brother was leaving, Zhao Rulan felt extremely reluctant to let him go.

But she tried hard not to cry, but her eyes were very red.

"Brother, promise me that you will find a girl you like. Our family doesn't need to care about family background. You are a man, you can be yourself."

Zhao Shiyan said, "Even if you are a woman, you can still be yourself. With your brother here, he will definitely support you."

Cheng Yu, Dingxiang, Ziwei and the other maids were all very happy to hear the young master protecting the lady in this way, and they felt that the young master was a very good person.

After seeing his brother off, Zhao Shiyan didn't want his sister to go out, telling her to get enough rest.

Zhao Rulan asked her maid to deliver it.

Cheng Yu didn't want to go, but the lady was sympathetic and said that her brother had come with her, so she went with him to see him off, as they didn't know when they would meet again.

Cheng Yu went with Ding Xiang, leaving Xiang Ling in the house to serve the mistress.

The two of them were also busy loading the things Ziwei and the others brought into the carriage.

Zhao Shiyan got on the carriage in front.

Changfeng was serving him.

Cheng Bin helped put the items in the carriage. When Cheng Yu saw Cheng Bin, he wanted to go forward but didn't dare.

"Go and say something to your brother."

Cheng Yu then stepped forward and said, "Brother, be careful on the road. This is for you, take it. I'll treat you well and take care of yourself."

Cheng Bin smiled naively.

"Little sister, what's in this bag?"

"Don't give me money. I have money. You should keep the money you earn. The family doesn't need you to help with the household expenses."

Cheng Bin felt some change in his purse.

"Brother, this is my sister's gift. I don't know what to prepare for you. Next time, next time I will make you a piece of clothing."

Cheng Yu saw that Zhao Rulan had given so many things to the prince, and then looked at himself, realizing that he had not prepared anything for his brother, so he took out some change and gave it to his brother.

To be honest, for poor families, it is more cost-effective to just give money directly.

Cheng Bin wanted to refuse, but he heard Changfeng scold him and drive.

When driving away, the carriage in front raised its face. Zhao Shiyan glanced sideways and saw the funny scene of Cheng Bin and his sister pushing and shoving each other. He also saw that after Cheng Yu stuffed the purse into her brother's hand, her brother could not refuse and had to get on the carriage. She was immediately relieved.

It seems like he cares about his brother very much.

This reminded Zhao Shiyan of his sister who was very kind to him.

His sister also protected him very much. When his father punished him with beatings and making him kneel in the ancestral hall for some trivial matters, it was his sister who protected him, and therefore she was also punished to kneel in the ancestral hall with him.

That time, his sister almost lost her life because she became sick due to being punished by kneeling.

He remembers all of this.

Watching the prince's carriage leave, Cheng Yu turned around and was about to go back to Lan Garden when he suddenly remembered what the prince had told him.

She spoke softly to Ding Xiang.

Ding Xiang said immediately, "The prince is so kind, he still thinks about the old lady. If we give those things to the old lady, it will be a bargain for her. No, let's go and get them back."

"Should I tell the madam about this?" Dingxiang said decisively, but still hesitated before doing it.

"Act first and report later, Sister Dingxiang, come with me and I'll tell you."

Cheng Yu was also thinking that he couldn't let the old lady get away with it.

Ding Xiang looked at Cheng Yu and said, "Look at you, you are usually well-behaved and quiet, but you are also a thoughtful person."

Cheng Yu and Ding Xiang went directly to Nian'an Hall.

The old lady had just received some gifts from the prince Zhao Shiyan. They all looked valuable and she was enjoying them. She never expected that someone would come to Lanyuan.

"What are you doing here?"

The old lady sat on the chair, acting like the old lady of the Lu family.

"I am here to move these things away."

After Cheng Yu said this, the old lady's face became visibly angry.

"The prince didn't say anything. He just told me and my servants to move all these things away before leaving."

When Mrs. Lu heard that it was the prince who said that, she started to panic.

"Did he say anything else?"

The old lady felt guilty, which was why Cheng Yu didn't explain or say much, but just came here to move things.

Besides, the prince didn’t ask her to explain...

"No, just tell the servants to move all the things away."

The old lady was thinking in her heart, could it be that Zhao Rulan had complained to her brother? Otherwise, why would the things that were sent to her be taken away again?

"Madam, I'm sorry."

Cheng Yu and Ding Xiang went forward first, and two servants came behind them and took the unpacked things away directly by her and Ding Xiang.

The prince was really generous. He gave the old lady fine jade articles, large bracelets inlaid with gold and pearls, and large agate necklaces. These items alone would be worth at least a thousand taels.

Cheng Yu took them all away without any hesitation.

The paintings and calligraphy as well as the pieces of material were placed in boxes and carried away along with the boxes.

As soon as Cheng Yu and Ding Xiang left with their people, the old lady threw things in anger, smashing a set of blue and white porcelain tea bowls in front of her.

"Ancestor, there was only one pair of the tea bowls you broke in the storehouse, and one is missing today."

"What does Zhao Rulan mean? Can she take away something that was given to her?"

Qiu Wen said in a low voice, "Isn't this what the prince said? The second lady finally saw my brother, so naturally she would tell him about her grievances."

"However, fortunately, the Second Master is not at home today because he is on duty. Otherwise, if the Prince saw the Second Master, he would definitely scold him."

Of course, the old lady is the elder. No matter how she treats Zhao Rulan, as a brother, I cannot blame the elder.

But if Lu Zhaowen were here, he would just scold him a few words.
