It was not until Chu Qianyu and Mo Yinan's carriage had gone a long way that Chu Yue and the others came to their senses.

"This Chu Qianyu really doesn't care about her family members as my mother said. And Chu Jun and his wife ran away so quickly. I think my mother has no status in the mansion now." Chu Yue glared at the old lady who was still in a coma and started complaining to herself.

"What's the point of you saying this now? I thought I followed you here. At least your brother could get me a position. Look at what's going on now. Everyone ran away." Song Yu pushed Chu Yue away angrily.

"Why are you so fierce? Don't forget where we are now. We are not in your little Pingyang Town. Although my brother is not here for the time being, he will come back one day. And my niece is now the regent princess. Don't forget that."

Song Yu didn't hold back at all after hearing this. He sneered with disdain and said in a sarcastic tone, "Can't you see the situation clearly? Did your good niece say a word to you just now? Maybe she doesn't even recognize you as her aunt."

"Hmph! Just wait and see. I will go to the Regent's Palace in two days to take a look. I don't believe she can still kick me out. If that's the case, I will let everyone in the capital know that she is unfilial. She even refused to see her own aunt."

Li Jing looked at them with some annoyance, and she also felt some resentment towards the old lady. Why did she call these people here for no reason?

Really looking for trouble.

Then he went back home angrily. Seeing this, Chu Yuanshuang hurriedly followed him.

At this time, Madam Liu and the maids also helped the old lady back to the mansion. Zhao Lishi and her grandson Zhao Jing also had sad faces at this time.

Now I still owe the gambling house and Fengyin Pavilion three thousand taels of silver, and I don’t know what to do now. They said they would come to ask for the money in three days. Now Chu Jun and Yunying are gone. I don’t know if my elder sister can come up with the money.

"Grandma, since there's no hope of adoption now, why don't we sneak away while no one is paying attention to us?" Zhao Jing looked around with a sly look in his eyes. No one noticed them at all, and the idea of ​​running away suddenly came to his mind.

Zhao Li's eyes lit up when she heard this. After thinking about it, she felt that it was feasible, so she whispered, "What you said is a good idea, but I don't know if the people from the gambling house will send people to secretly watch here. Why don't you go and try it out at night? If it works, let's go tonight?"

"Okay. Let's go back and discuss it in detail." Zhao Jing whispered.

Then the two of them hurried back to the mansion.

As soon as Chu Qianyu and the others returned to the mansion, someone came to report, "Ye Qingyan is dead."

"What a pity." Chu Qianyu said it was a pity, but there was no regret on her face. She just looked calm and indifferent, as if it had nothing to do with her.

Mo Yinan also coughed, cleared his throat and said, "Yeah, I understand."

"Should we send someone there, sir?"

"No need. Since that day, everyone knows that she hated the princess and deliberately framed her. What does her death have to do with our family? Just ignore it."

"Yes, my subordinates know."

After the servant left, Mo Yinan suddenly thought of something, took a step forward to catch up with Chu Qianyu and said, "I suddenly remembered that the princess had asked someone from Xuanyue Sect to help her with something. She should have realized it by now. Have you found someone to take care of the aftermath?"

Chu Qianyu said nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter. What if she realizes it? I've already received the money. Even if she knows that Xuanyue Sect is in league with us, what can she do? She is just a sick cat without claws and teeth. What kind of waves can she cause?"

"I was overthinking it." Mo Yinan stood still and did not follow her. Looking at her back getting farther and farther away, the seed in his heart seemed to sprout again.

Chu Qianyu felt that Mo Yinan didn't seem to be catching up with her as she walked, so she stopped and turned to look at him and asked, "You?"

"You go ahead and do your work. I still have some things to take care of. There's a severe drought in the north right now, so I might have to go there again in the future." After Mo Yinan finished speaking, he turned and walked to the other side.

After listening to this, Chu Qianyu did not waste any more time, but went straight back to Luoyanju and summoned Manager Ming.

He asked about the preparations for tomorrow's ancestor worship, and then gave instructions on some details to be improved.

Then she asked the servant to take out the account book that the old princess gave her yesterday and began to read it at a glance.

I don’t know how long I looked at it, Chu Qianyu just felt a little sore in the neck, so I put down the account book in my hand and stretched my shoulders.

Shuang Ning saw that she had finally rested, so she hurried forward and said, "Princess, it's past lunch time now, and the people in the kitchen are heating up the food. How about I go and have someone bring the food up?"

Chu Qianyu touched her stomach. It would have been fine if she hadn’t said anything, but after she said it, she suddenly felt a little hungry.

"Okay, go get someone to prepare it."

Watching Shuang Ning walk out, Chu Qianyu also stood up and walked outside the yard to stretch her body a little. It was already May, and the weather was a little hot after noon.

However, after just some activity, some sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Go get some cold water. I want to wash my face." Chu Qianyu said.

Shao Ying agreed and hurried to fetch some water.

Chu Qianyu felt much refreshed after washing her face.

At this time, Shuang Ning also came in with a few people from the small kitchen. After arranging the meals neatly, they all left.

Chu Qianyu sat down and looked at the delicious food. She felt her appetite grow. She ate a lot without realizing it and even felt a little unsatisfied.

Unfortunately, she couldn't eat any more because she felt a little full. She had never experienced such a situation when eating before.

He put down his chopsticks, stood up, asked them to take these things away, and then Chu Qianyu walked around the yard again.

Then I was ready to sit down and continue reading the account book that I hadn't finished reading earlier. But for some reason, after reading only two pages, I felt sleepy and my eyelids kept fighting.

Shuang Ning stepped forward and advised: "Princess, if you are tired, just take a rest first. It will be the same if you get up later and look at it. Anyway, there is no rush for this matter."

Chu Qianyu was about to say that if that was the case, then she should go to sleep. But then she remembered that Mo Yinan had said earlier that he would come here in the evening.

If I fall asleep now, I might not be able to fall asleep at night. Wouldn't it be awkward to watch him sleep with my eyes open?

Thinking of this, she shook her head and said, "Forget it, go make me a pot of tea. It's almost 3 p.m. now, so just go to bed early today."

Shuang Ning had no choice but to agree and quickly went to make tea.

But when Shuang Ning came in again, he saw that his princess had fallen asleep on the table.

He had to carefully place the plate with the teapot on the table, turned around and walked out quietly.

She ran into Shaoying who had just returned from outside. She was about to go in to report what the princess asked her to do. Shuangning quickly stopped her and whispered, "You can go later. The princess is asleep now. It seems that she is tired today."

Shao Ying nodded and said, "That's fine. Anyway, everything has been handled. We just need to let the princess know. It doesn't matter if it's earlier or later."

Shuang Ning nodded, and then the two of them stood guard outside the door.

At the time of Xu, Mo Yinan had almost finished giving instructions, and remembered that she had said earlier that if he went to Luoyanju, he should not disturb her rest. He sighed, stood up and prepared to take a bath here first before going over, otherwise she might dislike him again.
