Du Juan brought the freshly prepared tonic soup to Chu Xiao and said, "Master, this is freshly prepared tonic soup. Do we really want to go? It's still daytime."

Chu Xiao glared at her and snatched the bowl of soup from Du Juan's hand. "What do you know? If you don't understand, don't speak. This is for me to thank my cousin on behalf of my mother. He stayed with her for such a long time during her illness."

Du Juan was so embarrassed that she didn't dare to speak and just lowered her head.

Seeing that Du Juan stopped talking, Chu Xiao took the lead and left, heading straight for the yard where Li Huairen lived.

At the same time, Chu Ci, who had been staying in the yard for a few days reading medical books, was dazzled by the reading. In addition, he had to prepare antidotes for Qiuyue and Lele, so he was in a tense state.

Chunhua felt very distressed watching this, and felt that her master had lost a lot of weight in the past few days.

She stood aside and tried to persuade him, "Master, you've been tired for so many days. Why don't you take a rest? The flowers in the small garden are in full bloom at this time. Why don't you let me accompany you for a walk?"

Chu Ci put down the book in her hand, stood up straight, yawned loudly, stretched, and looked at the green leaves not far away. Yes, she had been in this yard for many days, and it was time to go out for a walk.

But looking at the situation of these maids, it is almost time for meal. Chunhua has to go to get the meal, Qiuyue has to stay to watch the yard, and only the last one is left. She is too young and can't do any work. It seems that we have to speed up the process of finding more help.

Chu Ci waved his hand nonchalantly, "Alright, you guys go and get busy. I'm probably the one with the least time in this yard. You guys are busy, I'll go out for a walk, rest my eyes, and come back later."

"By the way, remember, I'm not allowed to touch the herbs in my study. Many of them are highly poisonous."

The three maids all shuddered, "Master, don't worry, we won't go in there. Even if this thief goes in, we won't go in."

Chunhua thought about it and realized that even if a thief could get in, he might not be able to come out alive.

Chu Ci explained the things that needed to be paid attention to and then strolled leisurely into the small garden. At this time, Li Huairen and Chu Xiao should be busy making little figures, so they should not meet them.

Chu Ci was dressed in white, holding a few silver needles as usual, and headed straight for the small garden.

Arriving at the small garden, Chu Ci found several flowers that could be used to make scented tea and began to pick them so that she could prepare them and make scented tea for the little girls.

Chu Ci was in a good mood. He recited the prescription in his mouth while his hands kept moving.

While picking flowers, suddenly a pair of hands reached out from behind, took Chu Ci into his arms, and buried his head in Chu Ci's neck, "Xiao Ci, cousin missed you so much, you smell so good."

Chu Ci felt as if struck by lightning. The hand holding the flower basket loosened and he struggled hard with both hands, trying to escape from Li Huairen's grip.

But Li Huairen had already anticipated Chu Ci's reaction, and his hands did not loosen at all, and he kept getting closer to Chu Ci.

Chu Ci stepped back subconsciously, knowing that he was stuck on the rockery and had nowhere to retreat.

Chu Ci sneered and threatened Li Huairen, "Cousin, if I were you, you'd better get out of here as far as you can. Otherwise, I won't let this matter go."

Li Huairen pinched Chu Ci's chin and met Mu Qiran's angry eyes. "I don't know when did Sister Chu Ci become so eloquent, but it's not right to say anything at this time."

"You should scream out now. I believe it will be very touching if your little mouth screams out. Cousin, can you scream a few times so I can hear it?"

Li Huairen pouted and wanted to kiss Chu Ci on the mouth.

Chu Ci glanced at Li Huairen, raised his right foot slightly, bent it, and was about to target a certain part of Li Huairen when Chu Xiao's figure appeared in the distance.

Chu Ci's eyes flashed, and she smiled charmingly at Li Huairen, "Brother Huairen, you are so nice to me now, do you like me?"

Li Huairen was about to say something when he heard Chu Ci's words. His heart was filled with joy. "That's right, Sister Chu Ci is so beautiful and has such a nice voice."

Li Huairen sniffed Chu Ci fiercely, "It smells so good, how can I not like Sister Chu Ci?"

Chu Ci glanced at Chu Xiao's figure and said, "Cousin, who is prettier, me or my sister?"

Li Huairen blew a breath of hot air on Chu Ci's neck, "Brother, of course I think sister Chu Ci is prettier."

"Chu Ci, what are you two doing?" Chu Xiao shouted at Chu Ci and Li Huairen, anger shown on her face, not concealed at all.

When Li Huairen heard Chu Xiao's voice, he reflexively let go of his hand, turned around awkwardly, and looked at Chu Xiao, "Sister Xiao, why are you here? When did you come?"

Chu Xiao looked at the two of them coldly, "What are you doing?"

Chu Ci pursed her lips, took a step forward, and held Li Huairen's arms with both hands. "Sister, how can I answer you? Although we didn't do anything, even if we did, it was in broad daylight, and the two of us were unmarried. Isn't this what should be done?"

Chu Xiao's face instantly turned red with anger. She pointed at Chu Ci, wanting to call her a bitch and tear off Chu Ci's face. Li Huairen was obviously hers.

Chu Ci looked at Chu Xiao calmly, "Sister, what do you want to say? My cousin and I are standing together, and people can say we are childhood sweethearts. But if you stand with your cousin, you will only be cursed by millions of people, and I'm afraid you will also lose the Pingyang Marquis Mansion."

Chu Xiao walked up to Chu Ci, raised her hand, and was about to slap Chu Ci. "Chu Ci, you little bitch, what nonsense are you talking about? Do you want to kill the Marquis Mansion, or do you know something?"

As soon as Chu Xiao said this, Li Huairen's whole body turned cold and he looked at Chu Ci in disbelief.

Chu Ci grabbed Chu Xiao's wrist and, with a little force, flung her wrist away. "Sister, what are you doing? Where are the rules? Is this the rule of the Duke's Mansion? I was just saying it casually. What? Did you hit a sore spot for me?"

Chu Xiao and Li Huairen looked at each other. Li Huairen shook his head. Chu Xiao looked at Chu Ci deeply. She also didn't believe that the little bitch Chu Ci knew about this.

In the past two days, her mother's people have been watching her yard every day. It is said that except for the meals, they seem to have not left the house these days.

She wanted to cheat them.

"Chu Ci, if you can't speak, I don't mind asking someone to call mother." After saying that, Chu Xiao looked at Li Huairen, "Cousin, mother is awake. I'm holding the medicine. Let's go find mother."

When Chu Xiao turned around and left, she looked at Chu Ci deeply and said, "Chu Ci, you deserve this. You asked for it."

Chu Xiao glanced at Chu Ci who was still standing aside, and Du Juan turned around and left.

Not long after this incident, Dujuan left the Marquis' Mansion.
