In the west courtyard, Red Sleeves and Zhu Er knelt on the ground, their palms were covered with sweat, and even their clothes were soaked.

The two of them lowered their heads, not daring to look at the person in front of them.

No one expected that the old lady and Xiao Changle would come to the West Courtyard today, and their young lady was not at home at this time.

The sharp eyes locked on the two kneeling on the ground, their faces darkened, solemn, and silent.

There was also a Mama Li beside her, who also had a strained face and did not smile.

Xiao Changge, who was sitting next to the old lady, frowned, and there was a look of worry in his expression.

"Where's your young lady? I've been here for so long, why don't you see your young lady come out to greet me? Does she still have my grandmother in her eyes? ”

The crutches in his hand slammed heavily into the ground, making a sound that made people tremble.

"Back to the old lady, our young lady she... She ......"

Red Sleeves looked at Zhu'er, but couldn't say why.

Jun Shu looked at the appearance of the red sleeves, and then looked at the old lady, whose face was really darker than a rag.

"Back to the old lady, our young lady has gone out."

Seeing that the eyes of the distress fell on him, Zhu Er's eyes rolled, and finally told the truth.

Depending on the situation, the old lady knew that her young lady had gone out, otherwise she would not have come to the West Courtyard today, and her face was already very dark when she came.

If she didn't know about her young lady's going out, the old lady wouldn't have stepped into it today.

So since she knew, she could only tell the truth.

"Out? Where did it go? ”

The old lady raised her eyebrows and looked at the two of them coldly.

Neither of them could answer this, how did they know where Xiao Changge had gone? Her young lady didn't take them with her when she went out.

"I don't even know where my own lady goes, if something happens, can you afford it?"

The old lady scolded again and again, and the two of them looked scared, and said in unison: "The old lady forgives her sins." ”

The old lady doesn't care about Xiao Changge on weekdays, how can she be worried about Xiao Changge's accident today, this is Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it.

Zhu Er was worried in her heart, for fear that something would happen to Xiao Changge.

Looking at the old lady's angry appearance today, I am afraid that she will not let go of her young lady easily.

"Come on, drag these two people down and beat the twenty boards, give me a hard beating, and let my own young lady go out alone, what kind of system!"

The old lady gave an order, and the person standing outside the door had already walked in, holding Zhu Er and Red Sleeves' hands, as if they had been waiting outside for a long time, and they were not panicked at all.

Zhu Er's eyes rolled, it seems that the old lady came prepared today.

"The old lady spares her life, the old lady spares her life......"

Zhu Er kowtowed, rubbing against the floor and making a thumping sound, and even her forehead was broken and her skin turned red.

Seeing this, the red sleeves also kowtowed and confessed their mistakes, but the person sitting on the chair didn't even look at them.

I heard the voice begging for mercy getting farther and farther away, and then there was no sound.

"Grandma, wouldn't it be good to do this, what if Sister Changge came back to investigate it?"

Xiao Changle saw that the two were pulled out, and stood beside the old lady and asked worriedly.

The old lady is really worthless for Xiao Changle, it is already at this time, she still wants to protect Xiao Changge, and I don't know how the little slut threatens her Le Er on weekdays, making her so afraid of her.

"The maid is derelict in her duties, do you still want to help the abuse? If they are not punished, how will they have a memory? ”

The old lady said coldly, she had been waiting here for about half an hour, but she didn't see Xiao Changge's figure.

Now she began to believe what Junshu said, this little slut is just like her mother, which will only disgrace the Xiao family.

It's too unreasonable for a girl to run out all day before she leaves the cabinet.

"Grandma, but if the twenty boards are beaten, the whole person will be wasted, Sister Changge is deeply loved by my father, if this matter happens to my father, what should I do?"

Xiao Changle frowned and said worriedly, as soon as he talked about Xiao Yongde, the old lady's face became even darker.

Because of Xiao Changge, she quarreled with Xiao Yongde, how well they got along before, but they were ruined by a Xiao Changge, and I don't know what kind of rhetoric that little slut used to make Xiao Yongde believe in her so much, and plead for her.

"Hmph, I have the ability to let your father come to me."

The old lady snorted coldly, and even spoke a little louder, Xiao Changle and Jun Shu exchanged glances, and Jun Shu nodded subconsciously.

"The old lady is angry, our young lady is worried that you and the master will be estranged because of the eldest lady, and the master's heart is now towards the eldest lady."

Junshu's words made the old lady angry in her heart.

She clenched her hands, and her eyes became a little sharper.

These words seem to be intentionally or unintentionally reminding the old lady Xiao Yongde that her heart is towards Xiao Changge.

But at this time, the old lady didn't think about it so much, it was because of this broom star that her relationship with her son would become like this, thinking about marrying her, but with the Wen family, who would dare to come to the door to propose marriage now?

In the past, there were a few more every three or five days, and those people were interested in their family's rights, and now they don't even have the people who come to the door, after all, they are not stupid, is it better to have rights or small lives? What's the use of having rights if you don't have a life?

So those who didn't dare to come to the door, and it was impossible for her to let the eldest lady of the Xiao family marry those bad old men, which also affected the image of the Xiao family.

"What's the matter, if he wants to protect Xiao Changge, then let him drive me out." period

The crutches in her hand slammed into the ground, and the entire floor shook, Xiao Changle shook her head at Jun Shu, and then she slowly retreated to Xiao Changle's side.

street

Xiao Changge was still thinking about Ye Ziyuan, completely unaware that there was a storm waiting for her in the mansion.

She only regrets one thing now, she didn't let Ye Ziyuan die thoroughly, and now waking up is the most detrimental to her.

Xiao Changge looked at the teacup in front of him and frowned in a daze.

Not far away, Chu Yan also ran into a wall on Tang Moshu's side, Ye Ziyuan was happy to wake up, but Tang Moshu dragged him for a long time and refused to give him an answer, it seems that he doesn't want to enter his door, so don't blame him for being polite.

Chu Yan looked coldly at the crowded inn, followed by two guards, he threw up his sleeves and wanted to go back to the house, but saw Xiao Changge sitting on the roadside.

He wasn't sure, but when he saw the wound on his face, he was sure.

Only then did he remember that he hadn't gone to Xiao Mansion to see Xiao Changge in the past few days, he took a step, and the two guards behind him wanted to follow, but they were blocked by Chu Yan, the two stopped, and Chu Yan strode in the direction of Xiao Changge.

And along the way, there are quite a few people who look at him, after all, this innate temperament, this handsome appearance, why don't those people take a second look?

"Long song?"

Chu Yan stood behind Xiao Changge and called softly, but he didn't see Xiao Changge's reaction.

"Long song?"

Seeing that Xiao Changge didn't react, Chu Yan leaned close to Xiao Changge's ear and shouted softly, Xiao Changge reacted at this time, but she subconsciously got up and turned her head suddenly, her eyes were sharp and cold, and she was very vigilant.

It was the second time he had seen such a look.

The first time I was playing chess, I saw such a look at the last glance.

But in an instant, the cold look suddenly disappeared, replaced by friendliness.

How did he end up here? Xiao Changge thought in his heart, but he couldn't help but think about it, because those eyes were looking at her now.

"Changge has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Xiao Changge glanced left and right, and said in a low voice, if Chu Yan's identity is recognized in this public, it will be very bad.

Xiao Changge saluted slightly at Chu Yan, but was helped up by Chu Yan.

"Changge doesn't need to be polite, there are no outsiders here, and there is no need to salute this prince, but how can a person sit here with a sad face, what kind of problem did he encounter?"

Chu Yan asked curiously, just now he didn't know what he was thinking when he saw Xiao Changge's frowning and contemplating appearance.

"It's nothing, it's just that there are some things that can't be understood for a long time."

Xiao Changge raised his eyebrows and sighed, as if he really couldn't figure out something.

"Oh, incomprehensible? Why don't you tell Prince Ben about it? Maybe Prince Ben can help you? ”

Chu Yan raised his eyebrows and became interested, he couldn't figure it out and couldn't guess what Xiao Changge would worry about.

"It's just a trivial matter, how dare you bother His Royal Highness the Prince."

Xiao Changge smiled lightly and said a little embarrassed, and Chu Yan also smiled.

"You're out there, we're friends, aren't we? Shouldn't you be honest with your friends? ”

Xiao Changge had an apologetic look on his face: "It's true, it's Changge who is too constrained by his identity." ”

She knew in her heart that Chu Yan had never regarded her as a friend from beginning to end, otherwise she would not have been a prince, as if she was superior.

Even if she understood, she had to pretend to be confused.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows, what is love? What is love? What does it mean to like? Changge can't guess or think through these three. ”

Xiao Changge raised her head, although Chu Yan looked like she was listening carefully, she knew what he would answer.

"As a prince, he is heartless and ruthless."

Just like when she asked him in the previous life, he told her the same thing, and she thought that she would be able to touch him and approach his heart after a long time.

The emperor is ruthless, this is what has been spread in the streets and alleys for a long time, so this is not a lie to her.

In this matter, Chu Yan never thought of deceiving her.

"That's right, the words of the ancestors are always right, the emperor is ruthless, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the future prince, how can he have these things?"

Xiao Changge smiled lightly, and when Chu Yan said that, the corners of his mouth also smiled.

Just as Chu Yan wanted to open his mouth to invite Xiao Changge to go with him, two subordinates in gray linen clothes stopped in front of Xiao Changge, with serious expressions.

Xiao Changge raised his eyebrows, isn't this the maid in the house? And it's the people around the old lady.

The old lady had never wanted to see her, so how could she send someone to find her?

Xiao Changge's eyes rolled, and he was worried about Zhu Er and Red Sleeves.

"What?"

Xiao Changge raised his eyebrows and asked, Chu Yan thought that these people were not good, but hearing Xiao Changge say this as if he knew them.

Looking at the clothes they were wearing, it seemed that they were the family members in the Xiao Mansion, and Chu Yan shut up.

"Miss, the old lady is invited."

The two men looked at each other, and finally said coldly.

"The old lady has been waiting for the eldest lady in the west courtyard for a long time, the eldest lady please."

Xiao Changge's eyes narrowed slightly, he had been waiting in the West Courtyard for a long time? It seems that the old lady knew that she was not in the house, so she specially sent someone to find her.
