Chapter 355: Returning Home After Leaving
I tossed and turned all night and didn't sleep, and in the morning I was so troubled by Mrs. Cheng, Zhao Qingyan almost felt that she was about to go blind after this incident, or she could die suddenly on the spot if she remained in this state for a while.
As soon as Ling left, she lay down on the Kezhen bed and squinted her eyes to take a nap, but her mind was in chaos, and even the sound of the rain outside seemed to ring in her ears very clearly. Mrs. Cheng didn't know what kind of wind she was pumping today, and she suddenly came to Huai'en Houfu in such a heavy rain.
It is impossible to say that there is no doubt in the heart. Mrs. Cheng must have heard something, otherwise who would want to go out in such bad weather! She was lying on the bed, probably because the bed was too warm or she didn't rest well all night and was too sleepy, in short, she just lay on the bed and fell asleep unconsciously.
Zhao Qingyan was woken up by Cheng's unhurried knock on the door, she sat up and rubbed her eyes, and the whole person was still in a state of confusion. After listening carefully for a few seconds, the knock on the door showed no sign of stopping.
She got up and put on the clothes that the store had sent, and she stood at the door without opening the door, but cautiously lowered her voice and asked; "Who?" The person outside the door didn't think, and immediately replied, "Princess Shizi, I am Uncle Zhong."
The voice was indeed Zhong Bo's, Zhao Qingyan opened the door, and Zhong Bo's face was indeed revealed outside the door. She was followed by two maids, and all three of them inevitably had a small trace of water under their feet. The maid who walked in at last turned and closed the door.
"Madame has already left, Ling Yi asked us to pick you up." Zhong Bo still had an umbrella in his hand, and he stood in the room, obviously not prepared to stay here. Zhao Qingyan lowered her head and carefully calculated, it shouldn't have been long since she was brought out by Ling Yi.
But Uncle Zhong now told her that Mrs. Cheng had already left! It's only been such a short time, even if Zhong Bo told her personally, she still can't believe it, "She's really gone?"
"Really," Zhong Bo shook his head with a smile, "We were desperately trying to stop Madame, but Ling Yi suddenly appeared, and he asked us to let Madame Cheng in, but we let it go, but there was no one in that room!" No one knew in advance that Zhao Qingyan was taken away by Ling.
didn't let Mrs. Cheng find anyone, and the whole Huai'en Houfu successfully crossed over from the brink of danger. "Princess, let's go back, shall we?" Zhong Bo urged.
Out of the inn, Zhong Bo personally held an umbrella for Zhao Qingyan and returned to Huai'en Houfu with the other two maids. The rain is still falling, and I don't know when it will stop.
After returning to the Huai'en Waiting Mansion, all the subordinates from the whole mansion gathered in the front hall. What happened just now shocked everyone, and they couldn't stop walking as soon as Mrs. Cheng left. As soon as Zhao Qingyan stepped into the front hall, Wen Zichen rushed out of the crowd.
His voice reached Zhao Qingyan's ears unhindered, "Mother!" Zhao Qingyan raised his head to look at him, only to see that he had rushed over quickly, and in the next moment, he had already thrown himself into Zhao Qingyan's arms. Wen Zichen's body was trembling faintly, and Zhao Qingyan hugged her and tightened her arms.
Holding him tighter, Zhao Qingyan raised his hand to rub his hair and comforted him softly: "Chen'er, what's wrong with you?" Mother's here? She spoke softly, and she looked like an ordinary mother.
Wen Zichen listened to her words and buried his head deeper into her arms, and his voice was muffled, "I thought you were captured by your grandmother again!"
Hearing this, Zhao Qing immediately smiled, but although some things were true, she should never have said it for the sake of Wen Zichen's good, "How could it be," Zhao Qingyan said: "When Mrs. Cheng first came, her mother was already hiding, so she couldn't catch her mother!"
There were a lot of maids and maids watching, Zhao Qingyan simply said a few words to Wen Zichen and then stood up and took his hand. She didn't go into the front hall, just stood where she was, looked at everyone in the front hall at this time and said, "Thank you for this incident!"
The front hall, which was still a little noisy, suddenly no one dared to speak, and everyone looked at Zhao Qingyan with shock and panic in their eyes. No one would have thought that a master would thank them as slaves.
Although Zhao Qingyan's master doesn't seem to be so justifiable. No one dared to respond to her words, but Zhong Bo behind Zhao Qingyan stood up and said a few words for everyone, "The princess doesn't have to be like this, we are in Huai'en Houfu, since the prince has ordered, then we will definitely protect the princess!"
"Okay, let's all disperse, do what you have to do!" A large crowd of people gathered around the hall to fill the whole hall was not a sight to behold. The antechamber had always been accessible only to the owner, but because of the rain, they had to come here temporarily.
The people in the front hall quickly dispersed, and Uncle Zhong personally poured tea and came over to serve. "Mother, I'm hungry." Wen Zichen suddenly ran over and pulled Zhao Qingyan's sleeve. Before Zhao Qingyan could speak, Zhong Bo next to him patted his head in annoyance.
"Princess, look at me, I've been so busy all day that I forgot that you and the little master haven't eaten yet!" Zhong Bo Dao. After bringing the tea to the table next to Zhao Qingyan and putting it away, Zhong Bo hurriedly ran out and ordered the kitchen to prepare food.
The last time she had dinner was last night, and it was already afternoon. Not only has the rain not stopped for so long, but it has also tended to get heavier. Wen Qiao went to the south to control the water, I don't know if it's because of that over there, the capital has also started in recent days.
Natural disasters are always scary. A few days have passed, and I don't know what happened to Wen Qiao. There was nothing to do in the Huai'en Waiting Mansion, Zhao Qingyan was bored in the front hall, and asked the maid who was waiting for an umbrella to lead Wen Zichen and walked outside.
"Mother, where are we going?" Wen Zichen asked her. The Wynne Mansion is very large, except for a few main houses with a special corridor between them to connect, and many other places are independent courtyards. Zhao Qingyan held an umbrella and slowly led Wen Zichen in the rain.
Wen Zichen was wearing a miniature version of a black coat on the outside today, a creamy yellow round-necked robe inside, and a pair of black golden boots on his feet. The whole dress is not like what Wen Zichen wears with her in Zhuangzi on weekdays. Zhao Qingyan thought that this should be the maid in the house who made the decision for Wen Zichen.
But this change really has a bit of the temperament of a rich child. The two walked a long way until they came to the smoke-filled kitchen. Wen Zichen's eyes lit up when he saw that it was the kitchen, "Mother, do you want to cook food for me yourself?"
In the past few days since he came to Huai'en Houfu, Zhao Qingyan has never cooked. After eating the dishes made by Zhao Qingyan, no matter how delicious others made, they felt tasteless.
