In the house opposite the Prime Minister's Mansion, there were two people huddled on each of the two jujube trees in front of the door. The one on the left was A-Tu, and the one on the right was Jie'an. They were closely watching every move of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

In the main room, Liu Jingcheng was playing with Hua Xiyu's mobile phone, which he had found from Hua Xiyu after a night of passion.

This thing that belonged to the children's mother had been locked in a drawer for five years. Not only because it was the children's mother's thing, but also because it lit up when I pressed it and turned dark again when I pressed it again, and there were words on it.

He pressed the buttons tirelessly, and then saw the display saying that the battery level was less than 10%, and asked him to charge in time. Of course, he didn't understand anything. He didn't recognize two of the five words, and even if he did, he wouldn't have understood them.

But I became more interested in this little thing, so I kept it in my hand every day. After a few days, it ran out of battery, the screen was completely black, and then it locked up.

In order to remind himself from time to time that his two children must be legitimate sons and daughters, he took out the "mobile phone" that had run out of battery and had been locked in the drawer for five years and started playing with it.

He had to forget the woman on the mountain who said she would be responsible for him, and he had to be responsible for another woman.

Thinking of this, he let out a long sigh, and reason finally prevailed. Finding the children's mother and dealing with the eldest lady in Washington were his most urgent matters at the moment.

For the two greenhorns Atu and Shui, failure in their pursuit was inevitable. He just wanted to test who didn't want him to get married, but this time no one intervened, allowing the eldest lady of Huafu to return to Huicheng smoothly.

As a last resort, he had to resolve the matter himself.

He bought the house diagonally opposite the Prime Minister's Mansion and had people secretly monitor the Prime Minister's Mansion. Yesterday, he discovered that Miss Hua was brought back to the mansion. Haha, as long as Hua Qianyu dares to show up, he will shoot an arrow through her heart and everything will be quiet.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, after seeing off Mrs. Hua Liang and several girls, Hua Xiyu was looking through a stack of invitations brought by Lan Cao. There were more than a dozen of them, and the closest one was the birthday banquet of Princess Anping in Prince Xuan's Mansion. She was not interested in these banquets, she just wanted to understand the world she was in as soon as possible.

She couldn't remember her own life experience and she didn't remember anything since she woke up in Shuiyue Temple. But someone in this Washington wanted to harm her and fed her poison. The so-called mother and sisters made her feel both unfamiliar and frightened. She looked at the gentle woman but heard her words as sharp as knives.

"Miss, do you want to go to Princess Anping's birthday party?" Qingxing asked in a low voice.

The word "go" was straightforward and decisive, without any hesitation. Why not go? What can you accomplish by staying at home?

"Okay, miss, let's go buy some clothes and jewelry. Madam just gave us 500 taels of silver." Qingxing became happy. Madam said that she brought the miss back too suddenly, and she didn't expect the miss to be so tall. Her skirt couldn't even cover her ankles. If she went out, she would be laughed at.

The clothes my lady sent are all new, but they don't fit me.

The master and his servants quickly packed up and the carriage came out from the side door of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Master, someone has come out from the Prime Minister's Mansion, it's a female member of the family." Ah Tu excitedly jumped down from the tree and rushed to Liu Jingcheng in a few steps. He spoke with excitement, as if he had picked up a gold ingot.

They were asked to kill the young lady from Huafu. At first they thought it was an overkill, but unexpectedly, the butler Xu from the Prime Minister's Mansion was a seasoned veteran who took the young lady away first. As the saying goes, one step ahead, every step ahead. They returned to Huicheng empty-handed.

Fortunately, the senior brother did not blame them, but it was a pity to waste two such sharp knives. Now they have to kill that stupid chicken themselves to avenge themselves.

Yiqi poured cold water on A Tu rudely, "Can you kill them just because they are female relatives?"

Jie An also came in at this time, "Sir, it is Miss Hua without a doubt"

"Then what are you hesitating about?" Before the prince could speak, Yiqi spoke first, picked up the hanging sword and walked out.

Liu Jingcheng glanced at them, touched the phone in his hand, and said nothing. He watched them leave, then he stepped out of the door and jumped onto the roof.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, as soon as Housekeeper Xu heard that Hua Xiyu was going shopping, he immediately went to ask Liang for permission. Liang hesitated for a long time, but finally agreed.

"What else can we do? We can't always stop her from going out," she sighed helplessly.

"Yes, then I will arrange some people to follow." Butler Xu thought about it and it made sense. The Prime Minister had not yet left the court, and the eldest lady and her father had not yet officially met.

"Butler Xu..." Liang hesitated whether to speak.

"Yes..." Butler Xu waited carefully on the side.

"What do you think of the eldest lady's temperament?" Liang couldn't help but ask. This time she came back was very different from before. In the past, she would make a lot of noise and couldn't stand any grievance. She would beat or scold her if she was not satisfied. But now, she didn't say a word, just listened and watched silently, which made Liang a little scared.

Butler Xu thought about the situation of the young lady. The Prime Minister gave her medicine, so her temperament must be calm. However, these things can only be done but not said, so he said, "The young lady has grown up."

"Yes, I've grown up," Liang murmured to herself. After ten years of suffering, it's time for her to grow up. I didn't expect her to be so beautiful, even more beautiful than all the girls in the mansion. She has some of the master's shadow. The more I look at her, the more she looks like Fu Zizhen, but she has a different temperament than Fu Zizhen.

Hua Xiyu was forced to wear a veil, and she left the mansion in a carriage with Qingxing Hongmei and Nanny Bai. Butler Xu arranged two servants to follow her as guards.

"Miss, let's go and order a few sets of clothes first, and then go buy jewelry." After hearing Qingxing say this, several little girls also agreed, asking which embroidery workshop had the best craftsmanship and which had the newest jewelry. For a moment, it was like a nest of birds living in the carriage, chirping and very lively.

"Miss, do you want to buy return gifts for Miss Two and Miss Four?" Hongmei was in high spirits. Every girl was excited about buying clothes and jewelry. Even if they couldn't dress up themselves, they would be happy to dress up others.

"Why should we return the favor? Their worthless gifts are so thoughtless, how can the young lady give them return gifts?" Lan Cao was very angry. She was responsible for combing the young lady's hair, and she had many broken jewelry that she could not use.

"Then people will say that the young lady is rude," Qingxing said worriedly.

Hua Xiyu had a headache listening to them, but he listened to them patiently. There was no other way, for his blank brain at the moment, any information was useful.

She decided to walk, take a good look at the street scenes, and get some real contact with society.

So the carriage stopped at the street, and Hua Xiyu got off the carriage with the help of Qingxing. Although it was difficult for her to understand this kind of support, she felt that she was as light as a swallow, agile and nimble, and not an old lady, so why did she need someone to support her? However, everything now was beyond her understanding, so she did not compete with anyone, but just silently accepted the kindness of others and observed the malice of others.

She was distracted by the street scene; there were no tall buildings or neon advertising lights.

Huidong Street is the most prosperous main street in Huicheng. There are numerous shops on the street. She was sure that this was ancient times or the countryside. Then she lost interest in shopping. Since there was ancient times, there must be modern times. She subconsciously touched her short hair and took off her watch. The mark of wearing a watch for many years was clearly visible. She was sure that she had at least lived in modern times.

Several maids had not been out for a long time and were as excited as birds out of a cage. Only Qingxing followed her master closely. Nanny Bai was not interested in these things and also followed the young lady. The guards behind them also kept a close eye on their master, as they could not afford any mishaps.

On the rooftop, Liu Jingcheng watched the group of people slowly approaching the ambush position set up by A Shui. He felt inexplicably irritated, with a stuffy feeling in his chest and a bit unhappy.

Ah Tu and Yi Qi quickly joined Ah Shui. They would not do such a thing on the street unless it was absolutely necessary. However, they could do nothing if Miss Hua did not leave Huicheng. To their delight, Miss Hua left the house only two days after returning home. How could they miss this opportunity?

A Shui had already arranged people to wait. It was best for his own people not to show up in the downtown area. Five people, with their faces covered with black scarves, were waiting for people to come over here.

Qingxing was a little overjoyed that the young lady was going shopping. She thought the young lady had become stupid. She used to be just a little domineering and arrogant, but this time when she came back, she was completely silent, like a fool. She was almost worried to death.

The girls chattered like sparrows along the way. Hongmei wanted to lead the young lady to the Pingle Embroidery Workshop, and Qingxing wanted to customize two sets of clothes for the young lady. The young lady was so tall that the ready-made clothes at home were a little short.

Lancao wants the young lady to buy some more jewelry so that it will be easier for her to comb her hair. Ziteng wants the young lady to buy some health-preserving food because the young lady is too thin and she wants to fatten her up as soon as possible.

Qingxing saw that the young lady was listless about everything and didn't talk much. Just now, the Second Young Miss, the Cousin Young Miss and the Fourth Young Miss bullied her so much, but the young lady didn't say a word. Compared with the past, would this be another extreme? She felt sorry for the young lady for suffering in Shuiyue Temple over the years and really wished she could take their place.

Hua Xiyu noticed the performance of every person accompanying her, and judging from their eyes, tone, and various micro-expressions when they spoke, she confirmed that Qingxing treated her sincerely, and felt relieved. Although this girl had limited abilities, it was rare for her to have a sincere heart.

Looking at this unfamiliar street scene, some images flashed through Hua Xiyu's mind. Those were the streets of modern Huicheng, which flashed by quickly. When he thought about it more carefully, everything was blank and he could not remember anything.

Just as she was thinking about it, a few little beggars suddenly rushed out from the alley, "Sister, please give me some food, sister, please give me some food", the three little beggars put their dirty hands together and spread them out in front of Hua Xiyu. Before they arrived, they were already shouting for food, and their open hands were clearly asking for money.

"Please be kind and give me something to eat." The two smaller beggars following behind also performed the same standard actions, raising their hands to ask for food.

Hua Xiyu was stunned for a moment, and unconsciously looked around to see where he could buy food to get rid of these little beggars. Unfortunately, there were only clothes, jewelry, rouge and powder everywhere, but not a single shop selling food.

Nanny Bai saw the young lady's intention and was about to stop her, but it was too late. Hongmei had already taken out a few copper coins from her pocket and put them in the hand of the leading child.

The child took the money and ran away with many thanks. The two children behind were still waiting with their hands raised. Hongmei had no choice but to put a few more copper coins into the two pairs of hands, and the two children left happily.

Hua Xiyu didn't take it seriously, they were just a few beggars, but Nanny Bai urged Qingxing to lead the young lady to leave quickly, because little beggars were not so easy to get rid of. Sure enough, more beggars gathered from several alleys, and everyone shouted, "Sister, please give us something to eat."

There are more and more people, and countless people are still pouring in here, young and old, there are hundreds of people. This scene is scary enough. No matter how much silver you have, you can't get rid of so many beggars. The key is that they are not satisfied. As soon as you give them silver, they turn around and go around to the back of the team and ask for more.
