Surprise!!! The Regent Princess is actually a hidden boss

The next morning, Chu Xiaozhu had not slept well the whole night. There was a dark spot under his eyes and he looked irritable. He did not wash up and just sat on the couch, not knowing what he was thinking about.

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the door. "Young Master, why are you here? Young Miss hasn't washed up yet." Chunlan shouted loudly, and kept walking in front to stop people.

Although they are siblings, they are not young anymore, so they still need to be cautious.

Chu Yutao stopped when he reached the door and said to Chunlan beside him: "I'll be waiting in the yard, go in and help her wash up." Seeing that she was still standing there in a daze, he suddenly became angry and shouted: "Hurry up!" After that, he kicked her.

Chunlan was kicked so hard that she staggered and almost fell down.

Chunlan was so frightened that she quickly opened the curtain and walked in. She only heard Chu Yutao cursing behind her.

Chu Xiaozhu stood up when she heard the voice and shouted outside: "Why are you here so mad so early in the morning? Why are you taking it out on my maid?"

Chu Yutao did not reply to her words, and said in a slightly impatient tone: "Hurry up and pack up. I have something to tell you. After that, I have to go to the academy. Time is running out."

"I understand." Chu Xiaozhu responded in annoyance. Chunlan and Molan quickly stepped forward and started to change her clothes and wash her.

About a quarter of an hour later, Chu Xiaozhu finally packed up and asked Chunlan to go out and invite the people in.

Chu Yutao had no time to wait for Chunlan to go out. When he heard the sound coming from the room, he hurriedly lifted the curtain and walked in.

Then he said to Chunlan and Molan, "You two get out and don't let anyone get close to here."

The two of them responded and quickly walked out, closing the door.

Chu Xiaozhu looked at him and asked, "What's wrong?"

Chu Yutao didn't even have time to sit down. He walked directly to her side and asked, "Do you know exactly how your mother died?"

Chu Xiaozhu thought about what he heard late yesterday. He had wanted to go to his elder brother to discuss it, but because it was late, he did not go. He was worried about this matter all night. That's why he didn't sleep well. When he heard him ask this, he thought that he must be hungry because of what he heard.

So he looked around, then pulled Chu Yutao to sit down, leaned closer and asked: "Brother, have you heard about it?"

"Well, my mother died in an ignominious way. That's why the news was kept secret. Only Chu Qianyu, my father, and my grandmother knew about this. Last night, the servant in my courtyard said that he accidentally heard the servants in my grandmother's room talking about this. It should be that the servants heard it when my father talked to my grandmother."

"If that's the case, then I understand. Yesterday morning, I went to pay my respects to my grandmother as usual, but she didn't even see me. She said she was mad at Chu Qianyu. I believed it. Now I think she's probably blamed us for the mistakes my mother made. That's why she became cold to me." Chu Xiaozhu said as she recalled.

Chu Yutao was a little angry after hearing this and said, "How could mother be so confused? Why did she do such a thing and now implicate us all. If she had died a normal death, maybe grandmother and father would feel more sorry for us after seeing this. But now it's different."

"Brother, I'll go pay my respects to my grandmother and check on the situation later. Don't worry."

Chu Yutao nodded and said, "Now that we have lost our mother, we can only find a way out for ourselves. I know a lot of children from official families in the academy. I will build good relationships with them in the future. Maybe I can help you. And you have to please grandmother. You are now at the age to get married. If you can find a good family, father and grandmother will definitely not look down on us or give up on us."

"Don't worry, big brother. I know what to do. But given the current situation, Chu Qianyu is older than me. Grandma and father will definitely think of her first if there is a good marriage."

Chu Yutao thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, then you can only take the initiative to grab it yourself. And the Qianqiu Banquet is coming soon. I heard from the servants that my grandmother's people went to find Chu Qianyu last night. I guess they wanted to discuss this matter with her. Have you been notified?"

Chu Xiaozhu shook her head and said, "My grandmother didn't send anyone to me." After saying that, she seemed to have thought of something, her face suddenly became ferocious, and then she was filled with jealousy.

Gnashing his teeth, he said, "Humph! Grandmother, your heart changes too quickly. Are you thinking of bringing her into the palace to find her a good marriage? That's wishful thinking. I'll go find grandma later and beg her to take me in as well."

Chu Yutao felt relieved when he heard her say that. It seemed that this sister took after her mother, at least she wasn't that stupid.

After checking the time, he saw that it was getting late, so he stood up and said, "Carefully cover the dark circles under your eyes. Don't let grandma notice anything when you see her. It's getting late, I have to go to school." After saying that, he turned around and walked out.

Chu Xiaozhu watched him walk out, then turned around and looked at herself in the mirror. She smiled coldly. She thought this bruise was good.

Then he called Chunlan in, changed her into plain clothes, and asked her to wipe off the makeup she had put on, and painted her lips pale with powder. She looked in the mirror again, and then smiled with satisfaction. But this smile looked a little creepy.

Chunlan was so scared that she shivered and got goose bumps all over her body.

-

Chu Qianyu had just packed up and was about to go to the old lady's courtyard. Shao Ying came back from outside and whispered in her ear, "Miss, it's just right for us to go there now."

"Okay. Let's go."

After Chu Qianyu finished speaking, she took the lead and walked towards the old lady's yard.

I happened to run into Chu Xiaozhu. Seeing her pale face, dark circles under her eyes, and bloodless lips, Chu Qianyu probably guessed what this person was going to do.

Chu Qianyu pretended to be worried and hurried forward to ask, "What's wrong with Second Sister? Why do you look so bad?"

Chu Xiaozhu shook off her hand and said, "Don't worry about me, big sister." Then she looked at Chu Qianyu and said, "I'm not as heartless as big sister. But you're right, you haven't come to pay your respects to grandma before, so how do you know that grandma is sick? I've been worried for a long time, so I didn't eat or sleep well. How can you look as good as big sister?"

Then, as if she remembered something, a hint of jealousy flashed across her eyes, which she quickly hid. Then, she pretended to be unaware and asked, "Sister, why did you think of paying respects to Grandma today?"

Chu Qianyu listened to her sarcastic words and lowered her head sadly. She did not answer her question, but said in a depressed tone: "It seems that my second sister still blames me for not telling you about Madam Man's death, but this is not something I don't want to tell you. It's my father..." At this point, she felt that she seemed to have said something wrong, so she quickly covered her mouth and said: "Second sister.. It's not... It's not... me."
