The young man was shocked when he heard this. His body, which had been struggling, suddenly stopped moving. His body froze instantly, and he slowly turned around and looked into the depths of the bamboo forest.

Qiuyu, who was originally thinking about how to tease him, wanted to tease him and take revenge for what he had laughed at her before, but she didn't expect...

At that moment, the collar that was originally tightly grasped suddenly slid apart with a "squeak". The collar that was originally connected to the clothes was instantly left alone in Qiuyu's hand, and the original owner flew towards the depths like an arrow from a bow. Qiuyu stared at Qiuyu in amazement.

There was a splash not far away, and the person standing by the pool had already entered the pool.

Qiuyu Qiuyu was stunned, but Qiuyu reacted immediately, took out a pill from the pouch on her waist, and ran up anxiously, shouting as she ran

"Why are you so anxious? You haven't taken the medicine yet."

As soon as the words fell, a young man with a chill all over his body was seen in front of him, hugging his arms and shaking in the pool. There were also intermittent sounds coming out.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk~ Qiu...Qiuyu...sister...why...didn't you tell me earlier? I...I'm...going to freeze to death."

Seeing this, Qiu Yu quickly pinched his chin open and stuffed the pill into his mouth, which slowly calmed the trembling boy.

The boy slowly felt a light liquid seeping into his body, just like the marrow-washing pool in the martial arts dramas he used to watch.

Seeing the boy slowly stop shaking, Qiu Yu was relieved and stood by the pool. She tidied up his messy hair and said,

"A Xu, don't be so reckless next time. You almost froze to death."

"Huff, huff, that's right, you...you really are..."

Following Qiuyu's words, there was a panting sound. The boy and Qiuyu turned their heads together and saw a man looking at them with his hands on his knees and panting.

The boy and Qiuyu looked at each other and couldn't help but chuckle. Qiuyu was so angry that she hit the boy on the forehead and acted like a little girl to Qiuyu who was standing beside her.

"Sister~ look at him..."

"Sister, look at him"

The boy turned around, imitated Qiuyu, raised his orchid finger, and looked at Qiuyu.

"Sister~"

Qiuyu glared at him, grabbed Qiuyu's sleeve and shook it, and stomped her feet a few times.

Seeing this, Qiu Yu looked at the two people in front of him with a wry smile on his face, and comforted Qiu Yu softly.

The two people outside the pool comforted each other, and the people in the pool looked at the two people on the shore, propping their heads up and looking at the sisters thoughtfully.

At noon, Qiu Yu, who had just returned from the courtyard with a tray, returned to the pond, looked at the sun, and hurriedly smiled and told the boy to get up quickly. It was almost noon and it was time to eat.

The boy nodded, and just as he was about to stand up, he suddenly thought of something, and shrank back embarrassedly, with a blush slowly appearing on his face.

"What's wrong? Why aren't you moving?"

Qiu Yu looked at the boy's slowly shrinking body in confusion.

"Sister...Sister, you guys..."

The boy raised his finger, signaling them to turn around, and the blush on his face just proved his shyness.

Qiuyu narrowed her eyes and walked forward to look at the person who was shyly shrinking in the pool. She just snorted and turned away slowly. For the first time, she was not laughing at him.

Qiu Yu put the tray on the ground, turned around, and said nothing more.

After a while, Wen Baixu saw that both of them had turned around, so he slowly stood up from the pool, walked to the edge of the pool, and slowly took off his clothes, revealing his gradually strong and fair skin. However, when he wanted to look at her belly, he always felt disappointed.

Wen Baixu quickly changed his clothes, picked up the black cloak on the tray, wrapped it around himself, and patted their shoulders. "I'm fine, sister."

Qiuyu turned around and saw the beautiful boy she had raised, gradually losing his frail appearance. She was very proud of him, but she saw that the hair crown that was originally tied up was now leaning against his shoulder. She frowned and walked behind him, picked up the rope and tied up his hair.

After a while, Qiuyu circled around Wen Baixu, and then looked at Qiuyu contentedly. The pride in her eyes was self-evident.

Although she was indeed amazed at first sight, the more she looked at him, the more she disliked him. Qiuyu ignored the boy standing in front of her, coughed, and said to Qiuyu:

"Sister, we have wasted so much time, shouldn't we..."

Qiuyu's words instantly set off a chain reaction. The boy's stomach growled and his face turned red.

"Let's go, the meal should be ..."

Qiu Yu confidently led the two of them to the dining room, but... the table, which had been empty, was still empty. There was nothing on it at all.

"Uh~ This food? Is it the king's new clothes?"

Wen Baixu looked at Qiu Yu, who was full of confidence, looking at him in astonishment, and silently complained in his heart

Qiuyu was displeased and was about to lose her temper when she heard Qiuyu walk to the door and call a servant in full force.

"What's going on? How come you've forgotten the old rules after just a few months?"

Qiuyu pointed at the empty table with vermilion carvings and asked the servant kneeling at the door seriously:

Upon hearing this, the servant stretched his head tremblingly to take a look, and stammered: "Miss... Miss... It's really not my negligence, it's just that the kitchen... the kitchen's Master Niu and Aunt Liu... he..."

The boy's words gradually became quieter, and his head lowered even lower.

Looking at the servant in front of him, Qiu Yu seemed to understand something and walked towards the kitchen with big strides.

The young man behind her and Qiuyu looked at each other and followed, followed by the servant.

The four of them strode along the corridors and passed through an archway before arriving at a yard. From the yard, the sounds of chickens and ducks, and people chatting and eating melon seeds could be heard.

Qiu Yu, who was standing outside, could not hold back her anger and immediately rushed in, kicked the gate of the courtyard open, and shouted inside: "It's only been a few months, and this place has become a market at the entrance of the village. How can you work like this with the money you get from the government every month?"

Everyone was still eating melon seeds or chatting, but when they heard the shout, they were all startled. They quickly put down what they were holding, stood up, and lowered their heads.

"Look at this, what does it look like, at the entrance of the village...what was that word you said last time?"

Qiuyu turned to look at the boy at the door

Wen Baixu pointed at his nose and looked at her in surprise.

"Yes, it's you."

"The aunties at the entrance of the village gather every afternoon to eat rotten pork"

Wen Baixu opened his mouth helplessly and said

"Yes, yes, yes! That's right. Why don't you think you can be the master of the Imperial Master's Mansion when we are not at his residence?"

Everyone lowered their heads upon hearing this. No one said anything, but everyone present had a look of dissatisfaction on their faces.

Qiuyu saw that they all kept their heads down and didn't speak. Just as she was about to step forward and continue speaking, she heard a woman's loud voice coming from the room.

"Oh~ Who am I? It turns out that the two girls Qiuyu and Qiuyu have returned. I didn't even see them. I am so blind. Everyone, come and greet the two girls. Oh~ The girls are still here!"

A bloated woman leaned against a fat man and looked at the man behind her with a smirk on her face. Although she said no, the man behind her kept moving on the woman, and the man was holding a plate of grapes in his hand and kept feeding the woman

"You...Mother Liu, what are you doing? In broad daylight, the two of you...are so shameless."

Qiuyu looked at the two people standing at the door in disbelief, and it seemed that the woman's belly...

"Miss, you really embarrass me. You are an unmarried girl, but you are acting so rudely. This really scares me to death. And I am only letting you take a break because you have worked hard all day. How come you say it..."

After saying this, the woman who was originally leaning on the man took out a handkerchief from her waist and covered her face with it, sobbing softly.

The servants and maids who were originally bowing their heads around did not speak, but they also looked at Qiuyu with unfriendly eyes.

Qiuyu became the target of public criticism, while the old woman smiled quietly through her handkerchief.

"If you are willing to work hard, you can rest, but if you are cunning and treacherous, you will definitely not be allowed to stay in the mansion."

Qiuyu walked up to Qiuyu and patted her on the shoulder, looking at the people in the yard and saying seriously:

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, and the leader, Madam Liu, put down her handkerchief and said to Qiuyu with a hesitant look on her face, "Don't worry, Miss Qiuyu. No one in this mansion dares to cheat or act cunningly. With this old servant watching over you, everyone in the mansion will be safe."

Qiuyu glanced at the old woman, her eyes clearly showing reluctance, but she could do nothing about it, her hands tightly grasping the corner of her clothes.

Qiuyu sensed Qiuyu's reluctance and squeezed her hand. Just as she was about to say something, she heard the young man standing at the door say, "Then the whole mansion will naturally rely more on Mama Liu. Mama Liu has worked hard and made great contributions. I wonder which nobleman trained her. It's really eye-opening."

The woman was so flattered that she stammered, "I was sent by the Empress Dowager. I have been with her for many years and came here to help the Imperial Master."

"Oh~ It turned out to be the Queen Mother. No wonder, no wonder, the Queen Mother is like a pearl, with outstanding grace. It turns out that her subordinates are also deeply influenced by the Queen Mother. However, there is one thing that makes people feel that they are a little bit different, they really don't look like they came from the palace."

The boy dusted off his hands and walked over to Qiu Yu.

"You...what do you mean, are you looking down on..." The old woman was so angry that she pointed her finger at the young man who was shaking constantly.

"What? Am I wrong? His methods of doing things are so shady, and he flaunts them in public. It turns out that this is the handwriting of the Queen Mother. How disappointing!"

"You little brat..." The old woman's body was shaking with anger. She looked at Qiuyu and Qiuyu tremblingly, but when she saw that they didn't move, she immediately changed her expression and pointed at the boy with a handkerchief.

"How dare you insult the Queen Mother like this? I will report this to His Majesty and punish you."

The old woman originally thought that once she said this, the boy would be scared and kneel down to apologize to her, but instead the boy smiled with a look of disdain.

"Go ahead. I just want to meet His Majesty and ask His Majesty and His Majesty whether your behavior was instructed by the Empress Dowager. And Madam Liu, if His Majesty knew that the servants sent by His Majesty to help and convey His Majesty's grace bullied their masters, stole property and resold it, and instigated the servants to openly oppose His Majesty's loyal ministers and endanger His Majesty's country, which side do you think His Majesty and His Majesty would stand on?"

As he spoke, the boy smiled and touched his earlobe and wrist...
