Chapter 3

The character "澈" in "澈苑" is derived from the courtesy name of the young master of the Xiahou family, Xiahou Chulan. The character reflects the person; the young master of the Xiahou residence is distinct from other young masters. He is reserved and introspective, possesses extensive knowledge and learning, and his demeanor is as clear as pure water.

If this is indeed the case, she would not have enough lives to compensate for it

The chilling silence

Xiahou Qing shot a fierce glance at Qiu Hong, and with a wave of her delicate hand, she moved like lightning and vanished like the wind. Soon, the empty room was left with only Fei Yan and Qiu Hong.

She felt a bit timid inside, yet she still stood in front of the group of bodyguards, forcing herself to command not to falter.

A woman who can be liked by such an outstanding man must be incredibly fortunate and happy

The so-called "Snatching Food Divine Skill" emphasizes the three essential principles of speed, decisiveness, and precision

The most unreasonable aspect is that everything happened so quickly, leaving no time for people to react. If it were not premeditated, how could all these coincidences occur within the same timeframe

Hello, Hongjie Qiu, are you alright

The serene courtyard is as elegant as the evening, with sandalwood lingering in the pavilion, and it seems that a gentle melody still flows through the air

She pushed away Qiuhong's small hand that was reaching out to pull off her clothes, her face full of anticipation

No, it can't be true

The bright room suddenly fell into a deep silence

Who would have thought that the young lady would arrive at such a fortunate moment, bursting through the door, leaving her no chance to explain herself before being taken down by others

Miss, allow me to assist you with your grooming

Xiahou Qing stood high above, a faint smile playing at the corners of her mouth, her exquisite and beautiful features revealing no signs of emotional fluctuation.

It is nothing

As Qiu Hong helped her with her rice, she smiled and said: "The Second Miss is about to enter the palace. Although once in the palace, the King will bestow new clothes, the dowry cannot be meager. In addition to the wedding dress, the Master has also prepared..."

How could things suddenly turn out like this after such a good conversation

Suddenly, Feiyan felt something was amiss. How strange, it was clearly just an imagination, yet why did the sensation of the chopsticks gripping feel so real? ... Hmm ...! ... The master chef is not only hasty but also sneaking bites?! This is too much, why is this pig trotter so small?

Fei Yan, listening intently, wiped away the tears of emotion from the corners of her eyes, and suddenly recalled something.

The young girl holding the zither stood firmly between Xiahou Chulan and Xiahou Qing, her words sharp and fervent, loyally protecting her master, showing not the slightest hint of weakness.

"Miss Er, Qiuhong is not well, Qiuhong has harmed you!"

"Miss Er, it is quite lively outside, shall we go take a look?"

Miss Second, it is time to get up

Xiahou Chulan lowered her eyelids, where the strings of the zither had snapped, a few traces of fading red pricked the eyes with a slight discomfort. Not far away, Xiahou Qing supported herself against the slender bamboo and stepped out slowly. Xiahou Chulan seemed weary, brushing her sleeves as she left, the snow-white edges of her garments splattering a few specks of dust.

Well, what a deep bond between master and servant. Since it is the second young lady who is being generous, then it has nothing to do with Qiu Hong. Did you all hear what the second young lady said? Why are you still not letting go!

When the wind blows, the bamboo sways and casts shifting shadows, truly embodying the elegance of its graceful demeanor

No, it is not...

Xiahou Qing raised the jade pendant of azure green that she had snatched from Fei Yan's hand, a glint of brilliance flashing in her phoenix-like eyes. She paused for a moment, leaned close to Fei Yan's ear, and spoke softly like the fragrance of orchids

Student Fei Yan adheres to the great principle of eating well and sleeping, and after sleeping well, eating again. While holding a bowl of rice, she stood up and stuffed a big red apple into Qiu Hong's mouth, her voice particularly cheerful

I am only fifteen years old and I am to be married, am I still happy

Qiu Hong seemed to return to three years ago, her voice tinged with sorrow and despair, recounting her story in a gentle manner

"I told you to eat slowly, look, you've choked again"

Fei Yan felt her ears ringing from the shouting, and a wave of fear washed over her

With three claps, Xiahou Qing's beautiful lips curved into a smile

However, if it is braised pork knuckle, it becomes a bit troublesome, as that dish is too greasy. The chef in the cafeteria always rushes and does not clean the hair properly!

"Sister Hong, who did you say is about to enter the palace?"

An'er has been serving her for three years, and she has never seen her so furious. At that moment, she was so frightened that her face turned pale, stumbling as she hurried to keep up with her steps

I said, Sister Qiu, why aren't you eating?

She took needle and thread to mend her clothes, completely at a loss for words with classmate Fei Yan

It is even more unreasonable that after Xiahou Qing entered, without even a glance or a thought, he directly concluded that Qiu Hong was guilty of theft, and thus intended to take her away

Silence

What are you, daring to act recklessly in my Xiahou residence

"Two, Miss Two... No, do not get used to it... The eldest young lady has arrived..."

The little girl couldn't help but go crazy, regardless of whether she was entering or leaving the palace, she just wanted to shout a prohibition against early marriage and early childbirth, and then crash her head against a block of tofu

The clouds at the horizon blaze like fire, engulfing the entire sky. Looking out from the wooden window, the sky resembles a paradise on fire, tinting everything with a bright crimson hue

Qiu Hong was in a state of panic, while Xiao Feiyan smiled broadly, wiping the drool from the corner of her mouth, as if returning to the past. Her chopsticks once again picked up the fragrant pork knuckle, and she continued to indulge in her delight

After a series of actions, heh heh, one will undoubtedly be invincible across the world

Wū ... ...

The young man, dressed in white as snow, had a black jade hairpin slanting to secure his long hair, which flowed like a waterfall. His thin lips were slightly pursed, and his features were delicate and shallow. He released his hand and looked at his sister with an indifferent gaze.

Little Qintong covered her burning cheeks and hurriedly hid behind Xiahou Chulan

The brilliant image of classmate Fei Yan collapsed abruptly in this bronze mirror, and she immediately resembled a wilted cucumber, swinging her wide sleeves, which indeed gave off a somewhat theatrical vibe; she was saddened and depressed

Autumn red tears blurred her vision, and in despair, she nodded slightly, completely shattering Fei Yan's last glimmer of hope

The terrifying silence

A line of elegant small script on the plain paper is stained with tears, like flowers battered by rain, both beautiful and sorrowful. For an entire year, the young master repeatedly read this letter, gazing at the jade pendant, with tears welling in the corners of his eyes

It is unreasonable for such a coincidence to occur; she had just picked up this piece of jade when Xiahou Qing entered with his men

No one is competing with you, take your time

However, if it is braised pork knuckle, it becomes a bit troublesome, as that dish is too greasy. The chef in the cafeteria always rushes and does not clean the hair properly!

Autumn... Autumn Hongjie, do you know that I accidentally made a hole in your clothes while washing them?

It's not because of this, why are you trying to scare me

Xiahou Chulan's handsome face darkened, and he unconsciously exerted force with his hand. Xiahou Qing immediately let out a sharp scream, "It hurts! It hurts so much! Brother, let go! I am your sister!"

When the dishes are served, there can be no hesitation whatsoever. One must observe all around and listen attentively, avoiding indecisiveness and hesitation. The chopsticks should move like lightning, and one must not harbor any sentimentality. In the event of encountering an equally formidable opponent, it is essential to seize the opportunity and withdraw, avoiding unnecessary conflict that would only benefit the novice.

"In broad daylight, with a mouth full of big teeth, what are you crying about! Just looking at it brings bad luck, let's go!"

"How can one say they do not know? In the Hall of Light, did we not see each other? Moreover, how many young ladies from the vast plains are determined to enter the palace, hoping to become the consort of the Cloud Emperor..."

Fei Yan opened her large round eyes, grasped Qiu Hong's hand tightly, and stammered a question

Recalling the severe punishments for theft at the Xiahou residence, Qiuhong felt as if her heart had turned to ashes on the spot, wishing she could die immediately, as it would be better than enduring those torturous penalties

Cough... cough...

With a clear reprimand, she forcefully shook off the servant's hand

I, as a servant, have keen eyes and can see things clearly. I can truly discern that the young master has been different during that period.

For several consecutive days, classmate Fei Yan was dispirited and dejected by a remark made by Qiu Xiang

Qiu Hong was overwhelmed with a mix of anger and sorrow, and in an instant, tears streamed down like rain as she began to weep in anguish.

Is it not good-looking

The latter looked at her with sorrow and shook his head

As she turned her head, she noticed An Er had not caught up yet, and without warning, she slapped her hard across the cheek

With this attire, not to mention leaving the city, even before stepping out of the Xiahou residence, one would already be surrounded by people commenting and critiquing like a monkey.

Fei Yan still remembers how many painful lessons she endured before summarizing the essence of these words. In the end, while the other children were there, looking pale and emaciated from hunger, a group of bullies led by Fei Yan were all well-fed, leaving with satisfied belches.

Silence

She frowned in disgust

Qiu Hong hesitated to speak, and after a long while, she finally lamented in a sorrowful voice

It turned out that the jade-green bamboo chopsticks, having been waved overhead, were now tightly pinching the delicate hand of Xiahou Qing.

The latter smiled gently, reaching out to touch her head, as if already accustomed to the strange and peculiar words that sprang from her mouth

Such a sweet voice, yet the words spoken are truly chilling to the heart

"Where can I relax? Sister Qiu, you don't know, this has already become a habit for me"

Within the pavilion, the fragrance of sandalwood wafts gently

Do you not want to know who stole your jade pendant

Moreover, she could not stand the arrogant demeanor of Xiahou Qing, and she could not bear to see Qiu Hongru's despairing eyes, resembling a frightened little beast. Thus, she took on all the responsibilities herself

In a desperate escape from death, Qiuhong rolled and crawled to Feiyan's side, clutching her legs and already reduced to a weeping figure.

How is mentioning eating so effective

Haha, what are you talking about regarding harm? They have all left, Sister Qiu, do not worry!

Huff, huff ... ...

Xiao Qintong hurriedly followed in his footsteps, while Xiahou Qing called out in a crisp voice from behind the pavilion

A sudden jolt ran through her heart as her eyes darted to the "evidence" in her hand, and when she lifted her head, she was completely petrified

A piece of cold jade, glowing with a bluish light, fell from the cuff. As Fei Yan picked it up, she noticed Qiu Hong staring at the cold jade in her hand, her face pale as a sheet. She clutched her clothing at the chest, and beads of cold sweat began to form at her temples.

The young girl was playing with the jade pendant, which shimmered in a vibrant green, feeling utterly perplexed.

Sister Qiu is not very old, her eyes should not have any problems, right

She even thought that the second young lady no longer wanted to eat.

It turns out that the young master has a cool temperament, much like a lotus flower on a snow-capped mountain, untainted and distant from others. During those days, although the young master remained as gentle and indifferent as before, his brows and eyes revealed a hint of happiness

I know you resent me and hate me, but after all, we are biological siblings, blood is thicker than water! Is it possible that in your heart, I am not as important as that worthless girl?

You, are you saying that I have to enter the palace? Marry someone I do not know?

The young master, elegant as bamboo, and gentle as jade, though always so silent, would reveal a faint smile at the corners of his lips when he was with Miss Zhu, as if the spring breeze melted away all the accumulated snow, bringing an unbidden sense of peace to one's heart

What else can be done, go to the Jiang Pavilion! The young master doesn't care, do you not have the sense to act on your own? I want to see how long this suddenly appearing little girl can be so arrogant! What are you still standing there for, let's go!

As the words fell, Qiu Hong cried even more sorrowfully, sobbing and holding Fei Yan tightly. Fei Yan felt as if her entire body was being dragged down by her.

Fei Yan stared blankly at the shattered jade pendant on the ground. She raised her head and glanced at Qiu Hong, suddenly feeling a chilling wind blowing, as the world around her turned dim and desolate

"Not eating... who said we are not eating! Is it already time for dinner? Sister Qiu Hong, come quickly to eat!" Qiu Hong stood at the door, holding a food tray, her large beautiful eyes looking at her. Just a moment ago, the previously listless Xiao Feiyan dashed to the dining table, leaving Qiu Hong speechless for quite a while.

Oh, it is the young master's jade pendant

Clap! Clap! Clap!

She excitedly picked up the men's clothing, tried it on her body with a flurry of gestures, and quickly dashed into the fitting room. After a while, she emerged, and as soon as Qiuhong took a glance, she burst into laughter.

Xiahou Qing bit down on a silver tooth, his anger surging.

Hmph, the evidence is here, what else is there to say

Not going

In an elegant room, a pretty young girl sits at the dining table, happily eating her meal. Not far from her stands a graceful young woman.

Xiahou Qing watched his figure gradually recede, and an inexplicable anger suddenly surged within her chest, growing more intense by the moment. She clenched her lips in frustration and shouted angrily: "Xiahou Chulan, why are you so indifferent to everything, so unconcerned? I truly want to know if you have any feelings at all!"

She had only met him once, yet that single encounter was deeply etched in her mind

The sound of the zither is melodious, like the gentle flow of water, and suddenly, it comes to a sharp halt

Clear courtyard, elegant bamboo.

The latter smiled with pursed lips, placing the bowl of rice in her palm, beaming with joy, "Look at you so happy, haha, isn't it still you, the second young lady!"

Looking back on those years, they were truly glorious and brilliant times

It turned out that the jade-green bamboo chopsticks, having been waved overhead, were now tightly pinching the delicate hand of Xiahou Qing.

Of course there is! I know that the feeling of hunger is very uncomfortable, even more so than a hundred ants biting and biting in my heart

Xiao Qintong, sharp-tongued and quick-witted, stood in front of Xiahou Qing, not allowing her to approach Xiahou Chulan even a single step

Hehe, don't even mention the young lady; even if the Emperor himself were to come, he shouldn't think of taking it from me

Miss Second, you have caused a great disaster

In fact, it is all the fault of the chubby class monitor, why be so stingy!

At this moment, the crowd surged forward aggressively, making it impossible to discern anything. They immediately seized Qiu Hong, who was kneeling on the ground, and dragged her out.

I did not steal, Second Miss, save me! That piece of jade absolutely does not belong to me...

Miss, please take your time. If the lady sees you drinking soup like this, she will have something to say about it

The second young lady can eat by herself, the servant cannot eat...

No, it is not...

The latter lay on the table, immersed in the glorious past, with a small face full of ecstasy

How can she disguise herself as a man to sneak out of the city

Xiahou Qing's voice was crisp and clear, like a yellow oriole emerging from the valley. She deliberately emphasized the word "please," yet her demeanor and tone carried a strong sense of disdain and contempt

Let's eat!

To her, it is indeed an ordinary jade pendant

The latter suffered a setback and did not dare to act recklessly, hastily expressing their intentions

Whenever Qiu Hong thought about the consequences of the young master losing this jade pendant, she could not help but tremble all over

Fei Yan was excited, taking a few steps forward, she spread her arms to block everyone, her small face displaying a great deal of dissatisfaction. To snatch someone away on her territory, was this not showing her enough respect!

It is broken, it is over

Damn Xiahou Jiang, where are you holding your chopsticks? Whose hand do you say is a pig's trotter?

Autumn Red, the jade has shattered, crying will not help you. Being hungry is your own affair. Even if you are to face the guillotine shortly, you must eat! After all, dying from being full is better than dying from hunger! I have experience in this matter...

What are you doing? How dare you ask? As the second young lady of the Xiahou family, you indulge your maid in theft, and now I want to take a servant; do I still need to accommodate you?

He paused, yet still did not turn back, only seeing the silhouette of his figure like slender bamboo, with his garments fluttering, exuding unparalleled elegance

Xiahou Jiang, what else do you have to say? Hehe, are you saying that Qiu Hong did not steal anything? Who would believe that! Or... are you implying that the items were stolen by you?

She yawned and responded dismissively. Seeing her still in a daze, Qiuhong was suddenly overwhelmed with sadness, and her voice carried a hint of despair.

Xiahou Qing was filled with intense anger, cursing in a voice full of hatred

"Sister Hong Qiu, this time... we are doomed, aren't we..."

Poor! What experience can you have?

Fei Yan seemed to suddenly recall something; she raised her head abruptly and looked in shock at the stunningly beautiful woman before her, as the doubts in her heart gradually became clear.

The latter cast her a sidelong glance, "I told you not to wash it, but you just wouldn't listen!"

Bang

A cold sweat oozed from her temples, and her voice was ethereal

Qiu Hong held Xiao Feiyan in her arms, her eyes swollen and red like walnuts

Who forgets whom first, the city of beauty is the homeland

I know where the jade pendant that my brother lost is located

Fei Yan looked at her radiant smile and suddenly felt a sense of foreboding in her heart, yet she could not discern the reason behind it

She extended her small hand, carelessly wiping away the tears on Qiuhong's face. The latter grasped her hand tightly, gazing directly into her eyes, and said solemnly: "It is not an ordinary jade pendant. That jade pendant may seem unremarkable, but I once served the young master for a period of time..."

The latter's face was as pale as paper, trembling lips, nearly unable to speak, and collapsed to the ground on the spot

Qiu Hong looked helplessly at the little girl in front of her, and suddenly felt a deep sympathy for the Cloud Emperor in her heart

Two sets of men's clothing, a fan, and a pen, what do you need these for

What are you all doing standing there in a daze! Hurry up and 'invite' the second young lady out!

It is merely a jade pendant, Sister Qiu Hong, do not take it to heart

The young attendant of the lute looked up in astonishment, "Young Master."

Sister Qiu Hong, there is a generation gap between us, and I find it difficult to communicate with you

She looked up at Xiahou Qing, the surging anger in her heart making her forget her fear, as she fixed her gaze firmly on Xiahou Qing

Although Qiu Hong was filled with sorrow, she couldn't help but chuckle at her words

The young master has always had a rather cold temperament since childhood, but there was a period when he was different. At that time, Miss Zhu had just arrived at the Xiahou residence. Although Miss Zhu was beautiful, her temper was not very good, and the servants did not particularly like her. However, the young master took a liking to her, which led everyone to say that he was infatuated with a vixen, and that vixen was Miss Zhu

Xiao Feiyan stared at Qiu Hong in disbelief, as if she could not believe her own ears

As soon as the words were spoken, Xiao Feiyan choked on a mouthful of soup and began to cough violently. Her face was filled with terror as she raised her round, bright eyes, staring in shock at Qiu Hong, her voice trembling.

"Sister Hong, why has the Xiahou residence been so lively recently? Several groups of tailors have already come to make new clothes for me. Has my father always been this generous?"

Suddenly, Feiyan felt something was amiss. How strange, it was clearly just an imagination, yet why did the sensation of the chopsticks gripping feel so real? ... Hmm ...! ... The master chef is not only hasty but also sneaking bites?! This is too much, why is this pig trotter so small?

That figure draped in snow-like shadows, followed by a young child holding a zither, flickered and vanished into the bamboo forest

Xiahou Qing turned his face towards the servants and gave them a stern reprimand

Hehe, don't even mention the young lady; even if the Emperor himself were to come, he shouldn't think of taking it from me

This time... everything is completely over

In the cold light of the bronze mirror, a frail little figure dressed in oversized men's clothing that did not match his stature appeared comically like a clown from a farce, looking particularly ridiculous

Autumn, Sister Hong in Autumn... Could it be that the jade pendant you mentioned is this very one by coincidence

The servants immediately released their grip on Qiu Hong and retreated behind Xiahou Qing

She seemed to suddenly think of something, and with a sudden leap, her eyes sparkled with a bright light. She grabbed Qiuhong's hand and asked eagerly, "By the way, Sister Qiuhong, have you prepared everything I asked you to get for me last time?"

As soon as the young master woke up and did not see Miss Zhu, his face immediately turned as pale as paper

Miss Second, save me

Xiao Feiyan's cheeks were puffed up as she scooped rice into her mouth, her round eyes curiously gazing at the haggard-looking Qiu Hong, mumbling indistinctly.

A crisp sound of a slap echoed in the ears of the crowd, and a bright red handprint immediately appeared on the fair face of the young child. Xiahou Chulan turned around in surprise; in just a flash, a figure in white swept past. He swiftly grasped Xiahou Qing's delicate hand, which was poised to strike again, and a hint of displeasure clearly flickered in her dark, lustrous eyes, reminiscent of ink jade.

"Miss, it is my fault, sob, I should not have pointed out your shortcomings, please at least have a meal!"

Qiu Hong patted Fei Yan's back, complaining playfully. The latter, choking, turned beet red, her cheeks speckled with grains of rice. She grasped the teacup with both hands, drinking quickly and vigorously, while Qiu Hong shook her head

Who is the cheap girl that the young lady mentioned? If it is Miss Zhu, then I will respond on behalf of the young master: please leave Cheyuan, as Cheyuan cannot accommodate a master as esteemed as you

A jade that is not carved is not a valuable item. In her eyes, such jade is merely of second-rate quality, and even her casual carvings are several times better than this jade pendant

You ... ...

Fei Yan opened her round eyes, listening curiously as she told stories

However, those people look quite fierce in appearance

They have all left, Sister Qiu Hong, it’s alright now, don’t cry anymore

Oh heavens, must you always treat her this way?

No way, I am only fifteen years old

She swallowed hard, her voice as faint as a mosquito, weakly defending herself. Taking two cautious steps back, she attempted to reduce the pressure that Xiahou Qing exerted on her by increasing the distance.

Stop! Do not touch me!

Silence

The bodhi is without dust, the bright mirror is without flaw

Xiao Fei Yan smiled radiantly

She bit into the braised pork, mumbling indistinct syllables, while her chopsticks continued to attack the oil-braised eggplant

The family rules of the Xiahou residence are quite strict. Upon seeing the jade piece fall to the ground, she immediately realized that she had been framed, and thus she urgently sought the Second Miss for help

Damn Xiahou Jiang, where are you holding your chopsticks? Whose hand do you say is a pig's trotter?

Qiu Hong looked at her strangely and covered her mouth with one hand

Qiu Hong gasped in shock, staring with her swollen, tear-filled beautiful eyes, anxiously looking at Xiao Feiyan. The latter's lips curled into a stiff smile that had yet to fully unfold, hope shattered, and in that moment, as if struck by a thunderbolt, she was petrified. The jade pendant in her hand slipped from her grasp and fell to the ground with a "thud".

Qiu Hong's charming face was as pale as paper, her voice even stuttered, as she desperately tugged at Fei Yan's sleeve

No

The latter lay on the table, immersed in the glorious past, with a small face full of ecstasy

Well, I really like eating braised pork, stir-fried mushrooms, and spicy and sour shredded potatoes! Hey, Sister Qiu, what are you still standing there for? The dishes today are great, come and eat quickly!

Looking back on those years, they were truly glorious and splendid times

What looks good? Just take a look at how ridiculous it is

Miss, it is better for you to return, the young master is weary

Every summer, the school organizes a summer camp, and after paying a substantial amount of money, the meals provided turn out to be quite limited. Over the years, she has already mastered the "Art of Food Snatching".

She was filled with doubt, and before she could react, the slightly ajar door was suddenly flung open with a loud "bang." The leading young woman, with her elegant brows and phoenix-like eyes, looked as beautiful as a fairy stepping out of a painting; she was none other than Miss Xiahou Qing.

Unfortunately, the latter did not offer her a kind word

Miss Er, you have also seen that the lady has always cared for the young master. As soon as the rumors emerged, she immediately flew into a rage and drove the gossiping maids out of the residence

It is merely a piece of jade, what is the big deal! That piece of jade was given to her by me, what more is there to say, let go of Qiuhong!

Fei Yan naturally recalled the handsome man in her mind; his features were gentle, and his elegant demeanor exuded a sense of detachment, like clear and bright glass, evoking an irresistible joy in those who beheld him

She was in a state of confusion when she suddenly heard an angry, delicate voice coming from above her head

The little girl defiantly widened her round, glistening eyes, puffed out her rosy cheeks, and wore an exceptionally serious expression

Xiahou Chulan's gaze flickered, and she released her grip, yet a wave of profound desolation surged in her eyes

"Qiu Hong has always been with me, how could she steal? Do not wrong an innocent person!"

In fact, it is a hundred ants gnawing at the heart, but after some thought, she felt that using one hundred ants to bite was more fitting, thus a splendid definition was freshly minted

stop ! stop ! stop !

The chilling silence

He is merely a lowly slave, yet you still protect him

As soon as the words fell, Qiu Hong suddenly knelt down with a thud, repeatedly bowing her head, her voice trembling with tears.

Miss, it seems that the young master is not concerned about that jade pendant. What shall we do now

Miss Er, do you still perform in grand plays? Quickly change out of this outfit; if others see you wearing it, it could lead to all sorts of rumors and gossip

The one playing the zither is a young man with a handsome appearance, his long fingers resembling flawless jade

It is not because she has torn a hole in Qiuhong's clothes that she should be frightened

As the conversation unfolded, her beautiful eyes, now red from crying, were on the verge of tears once again

After Miss Ke Zhu left, the young master, whose face was as warm and gentle as jade, no longer bore a smile, and his silent demeanor was almost suffocating

Fei Yan, in a state of self-abandonment, slammed her head against the table; she was in despair, murmuring with a sigh.

Qiu Hong's charming face was as pale as paper, her voice even stuttered as she desperately tugged at Fei Yan's sleeve

Before her time travel, Xiao Feiyan's family was engaged in the antique jade business. She carefully examined this jade pendant, which was carved with flowers and birds. Although its quality was exceptional, the carving skills were rather ordinary

What is this

Cough, cough...

The little girl, with food in her mouth, called out to Qiuhong indistinctly while enjoying her meal heartily

What a way to die, pfft! Children speak without restraint, the strong winds have blown through

Yes, this servant will leave right away

A "blood incident" caused by a bento box

The story is very captivating, and the ending is quite tragic, but she probably wouldn't be that fortunate, would she

I have never seen the young master looking so haggard; he searched desperately, but Miss Zhu seemed like the moon in the water, the flower in the mirror, leaving without a trace, with only the young master's endless longing remaining

Jiangge, evening

I have wronged you, Second Miss, please punish me... Ah, be careful!

Oh, it is truly frightening

What are you doing?

The quarrel between the two individuals startled a few birds in the bamboo grove, causing them to flap their wings and disperse.

If he doesn't chase her around, can she fall down the stairs? If she doesn't fall down the stairs, can she cross over? If she doesn't cross over, can she faint from hunger for three days, seeing stars? If she doesn't see stars from hunger, can she accidentally break the jade pendant with a shake of her hand?

She was in a state of confusion when she suddenly heard an angry, delicate voice coming from above her head

Brother

However, what does the young master falling in love have to do with this jade pendant

Xiahou Jiang, mind your own business and stop being a hindrance here! This wretched maid, you cannot protect her!

Whenever she thinks of the chubby class monitor, the image of a fragrant, steaming chicken leg bento seems to appear before her eyes. She swallows hard, glances at the white rice in front of her, pouts her lips, and buries her head in a fierce effort to shovel the rice!

She frowned in disgust

The jade pendant, a vibrant azure color, was as clear as glass and as fragile as crystal, and it shattered into two pieces at that moment

It seemed as if she could sense her doubts, and Qiuhong slowly said: "Later, the young lady made things difficult for Miss Zhu at every turn, ostracizing her. Finally, one day, Miss Zhu could no longer endure it; her fiery temper was provoked, and she left behind a letter and that jade pendant before departing.

An Er timidly asked, in this clear garden, it seemed as if a mysterious force was pressing down on her, making it difficult for her to breathe. She did not dare to be arrogant and could only speak after Xiahou Chulan had left.

Xiahou Qing was aggressive and intimidating, questioning sharply, with a cold glint flashing through her phoenix-like eyes

With a "thud," the braised pork fell from her mouth onto the table

"Two, Miss Two... No, do not get used to it... The eldest Miss has arrived..."

He shook his head slightly

Qiu Hong carried something out of the house and looked curiously at the overly excited little girl in front of her

Qiu Hong was in a state of panic and urgency, while Xiao Feiyan smiled broadly, wiping the drool from the corner of her mouth, as if returning to the past. Her chopsticks once again picked up the fragrant pork knuckle, and she continued to indulge in her delight

Why is it that when others travel back to ancient times, they can disguise themselves as handsome young gentlemen, but when she dresses as a man, she ends up looking like a burden carrier performing in a big show?

Words spoken without thought, uttered impulsively

Fei Yan was filled with confusion and was particularly dissatisfied
