Hua Xiyu was indeed sent back to the Prime Minister's Mansion by the soldiers patrolling the streets of Xingping Prefecture. At that time, Liang was talking to Hua Jiayi. When they heard the doorman's report, the mother and daughter were so frightened that they hurried to the gate of the mansion.

When they saw the person, her skirt was a little dusty and dirty, but everything else was fine. The two of them breathed a sigh of relief, gave the reward money to send those people away, and welcomed Hua Xiyu into the house. They wanted to ask her in detail what happened, but seeing that she looked confused, shocked and scared, Liang didn't ask any more questions and just arranged for people to go to the street to find the person who followed her out.

Nanny Qingxing, Hongmei, Bai and two guards were soon found. After Liang questioned them in detail, she found that nothing serious had happened. She was also afraid, so she told Butler Xu that the eldest lady could not leave the house without the madam's permission.

Those who followed him out today will be punished by kneeling for two hours, and have one month's salary deducted, and the two guards will also be given an additional twenty strokes of the cane.

Hua Xiyu felt a little guilty. These people were her companions and they would probably have to work with her for a long time in the future. She regretted not waiting for them to come back together and regretted letting this matter become known to everyone in the city.

Of course, what she regretted most was that they were punished because of her, but now that things had come to this, she could only think of other ways to make up for it. Although she didn't trust them, she never had the idea of ​​treating them harshly.

In Liushuang Courtyard, Hua Xiyu was sitting leisurely in the bathtub, recalling the scenes on the street just now, and then going over all the experiences since she woke up from Shuiyue Temple in her mind. She couldn't understand everything.

The real eldest daughter of the Hua family is a girl in the boudoir. How could she have so many enemies? There are actually several groups of people who want to kill her. This matter must be made clear. There is only a thief who has been thieves for a thousand years, but there is no one who can guard against thieves for a thousand years, otherwise you will lose your life if you are not careful.

After she finished washing up, Zi Teng and Lan Cao led her to the front hall. Those who had followed her out today were now kneeling there, and each of them told their experiences. Hua Yuwei got very angry, mainly because he had lost face for the Prime Minister's Mansion. He didn't want to even look at Hua Qianyu. Her birth was a shame. He now regretted not killing her earlier, otherwise the Queen would not have thought of marrying her to Prince Hong.

The eldest son Hua Hongyan stood not far behind his father and watched everything in the yard without saying a word. The younger son Hua Hongmin was staring at this legendary sister.

Today, his wife sent someone to pick him and his younger brother Hua Hongsheng up from the academy. He had always known that he had a twin sister who was ten years old when she left. He had some vague impressions of her. At that time, he lived with his father in the front yard. He was young and knew almost nothing about things in the backyard. Now he especially wanted to know what she looked like, why she was sent to Shuiyue Temple, and why she was taken back now.

The two brothers came to Liushuangyuan together. They had not met their sister formally since she came back. Such a thing happened again today. Their father was so angry. Maybe their sister would be punished. As brothers, they had to protect her.

After a whole morning of hard work, I didn't buy anything and had to fight with three groups of people. Now it's time for dinner. Except for two bowls of porridge when I woke up, I'm already hungry. The original plan was to go shopping, buy some things, and then have lunch in a restaurant before coming back. As a result, I'm still hungry now.

The moment the brother and sister met was beyond everyone's expectations. There was no excitement that Hua Hongming expected, nor the intimacy that Hua Hongwei thought, nor the familiarity that Hua Xiyu wanted.

"Sister" Hua Hongming looked nervous and flustered, rubbing her hands, not knowing whether to sit or stand.

"Hmm" Hua Xiyu just responded lightly. She was sure that she was not from here, and all the relatives were nonsense. However, she wanted to live here, and since she had a ready-made identity, of course she had to seize it.

I am not familiar with the rules of this world yet, and it is not easy to survive alone. It would be nice to have someone to help me.

Hua Hongyan's call of "sister" sounded a bit intriguing, a bit guilty and a bit reluctant. In short, it sounded very strange. Hua Xiyu rolled her eyes at him without even a hum.

Qing Xing and Hong Mei, the people who accompanied her out today, were all kneeling in the front yard, their bodies straight. They didn't look like they were being punished but rather like they were practicing martial arts.

Hua Xiyu actually wanted to laugh, but felt it was inappropriate, so he turned around and silently followed his two brothers into the main house.

Sitting in the middle of the room was Hua Yuwei, the right prime minister of the Nanyue Kingdom. He was in his 40s, with a square face, a light beard, clear eyebrows, bright eyes, and a scholarly look. At first glance, he looked like a gentle, dignified, modest gentleman, a romantic and elegant middle-aged man.

The words "middle school math teacher" suddenly popped up in Hua Xiyu's mind, because he was rigid, dogmatic, good at writing formulas and reciting definitions, could write on the blackboard with both hands, talked about his ideas fluently, and looked like a pedant with a wealth of knowledge, but he just couldn't teach a top student.

She didn't recognize anyone in the house except the women she had seen in the morning. She had no curiosity about them, but they were very curious about her. She hadn't thought about how to face this family yet, and she was just waiting for the right time to escape from her life. For now, she had to make the best of a mistake and treat this place as her home.

Liang sat beside the prime minister, looking at the girl coming against the light. She had a warm and gentle smile on her face, but she felt extremely jealous in her heart. She was so outstanding in appearance that she even outshined Jiayi.

Hua Hongxuan and Hua Hongxuan sat down in their respective seats. Zi Teng and Lan Cao supported her on the left and right, "Miss, please call someone quickly."

"Ah?" Hua Xiyu deliberately raised his voice and pretended not to understand.

"Miss, call someone!" Zi Teng whispered again.

"Why are you calling for help? I don't have anything to do and I don't need any help." As he said this, he looked at Zi Teng in puzzlement, with a bit of resentment in his eyes.

The people sitting at the top had different expressions. Prime Minister Hua was worried that the drug was too strong and made people stupid. Hua Jiayi thought that the drug was really effective and now he had become a fool.

Liang thought, he had suffered enough, he had grown up, but his mentality was still that of a ten-year-old.

"Forget it." Hua Yuwei sighed and motioned for the two maids to leave. Looking at her face, he was stunned for a moment. She was actually about 50% similar to Fu Zizhen. Two points were his own shadow, and the other two points were her unique temperament.

"Qianyu, come and see who these are. Do you know them all?" Liang came over, took Hua Xiyu's hand, and asked her to call people starting from the most important seat.

"Sister, let me accompany you when you go shopping next time! I will never let you get lost." Jiayi suppressed her smile and asked with concern.

Many people held back their laughter and looked at Hua Xiyu.

"Well, Qingxing and the others were squeezed away by those beggars." Hua Xiyu really didn't hear the malice in those words and told the truth.

If a woman falls into the hands of a bad person, her reputation will be ruined. If she is lost for a few hours, that is also very serious. A lot of things can happen in a few hours. Who knows if you will be bullied.

"Sister, are you injured?" Hua Hongming came over immediately to check the injury. The silly boy didn't understand the thoughts between women.

He is 20 years old this year and is looking for a marriage partner. His mother, Liang, wants to marry her niece to him, but he himself does not like Liang Yuling, so he keeps putting it off and insists on getting married after he finishes high school.

Seeing his enthusiasm and concern, Hua Xiyu smiled and said, "It's okay."

Hua Hongyan also looked over, his eyes also full of concern. His mother had passed away, and as an older brother, he felt very guilty for not taking good care of his younger sister.

Hua Yuwei looked at the interaction between the three siblings, and instantly thought of his deceased wife Zizhen. If she were still alive, he dared not think about what would happen next. His eyes swept over Liang again. Alas, although Liang was not his favorite, she was a qualified prime minister's wife over the years. She managed the household very well, and the backyard of the prime minister's mansion was quiet. Overall, he was satisfied.

Prime Minister Hua sighed helplessly, wondering if the medicine he gave her was too strong and she became even dumber than before.

"Why are Qingxing and the others kneeling in the yard?" She didn't want to call a stranger dad, as her biological father would beat her to death. Acting stupid worked well at a time like this.

"They failed to protect their master, they deserve to be punished." The dignity of Prime Minister Hua as the head of the family immediately emerged.

"Madam said today that they will be in my courtyard from now on. Does that mean that I have the right to deal with them?" She looked at Liang, her eyes full of caution, as if she was afraid of saying something wrong and being punished, which would make Hua Yuwei unhappy. Who was he showing this to? Then he remembered that she had been taking medicine randomly since she was in her mother's womb, and now she was being fed medicine again. Isn't this exactly what he wanted? So he didn't care.

Let Liang handle the affairs of the backyard, as long as nothing goes wrong before the imperial decree granting the marriage is issued.

"Of course," Liang blurted out before Prime Minister Hua could speak.

"They protected me from the beggars and ignored their own injuries. They have done their best. Don't punish them." She couldn't let others get their hands on her team.

"This..." Liang glanced at Prime Minister Hua. Hua Yuwei didn't say anything. His wife was in charge of the backyard, so it was not convenient for him to interfere.

Liang felt that her husband must love his daughter very much, and he could not bear to refuse the request of his daughter who had suffered ten years in Shuiyue Temple before returning.

"Aren't they people from my courtyard? I can't make the decision about the people in my courtyard, so I don't want them." She looked at Liang with a pitiful look.

Hua Hongyan, Hua Hongyan, Hua Hongsheng and others, everyone in the room looked at Liang.

Liang's punishment was perfectly justified, but after Hua Xiyu said this, it seemed that her punishment was wrong.

Liang was in a dilemma. She was in a difficult situation and was not popular with everyone. Whether she was punished or not, she was wrong.

"Of course I can make the decision," Liang said hesitantly. I thought she had become stupid, but it turns out she is so smart.

"Thank you, ma'am." Hua Xiyu thanked him and went out happily to wake Qingxing and the others up so that they would not be punished.

None of the people kneeling in the yard dared to stand up. They just pretended not to hear what the eldest lady said.

Liang smiled smugly in the room, then suppressed her smile and followed him out, "The eldest lady begs for mercy and exempts you from punishment, everyone get up!"

The kneeling people stood up and said, "Thank you, ma'am, thank you, young lady."

Everyone took their positions. Nanny Bai went back to Liushuang Courtyard. Qingxing and Hongmei quickly stood in front of the young lady. They had been running for nearly an hour and their knees were a little sore, but this punishment was nothing. In the past, kneeling for a day or half a day was common.

"You guys go back and rest first, Zi Teng and Blue Grass will be fine here."

The Hua family gathered together to eat the first meal after Hua Xiyu returned.
