Translator: Lonelytree
Seeing Zhou Dehong suddenly appear in Elegant Pavilion Courtyard, Xiao Cui’s expression changed slightly. However, she immediately bowed to Zhou
Dehong calmly and said, ” Old Master, you … Why are you here?”
Zhou Dehong’s face darkened as he said, ” This is my daughters courtyard. Why can’t I come over?
Xiao Cui was a little annoyed, but then she smiled ingratiatingly and said, “Of course … Of course!”
Zhou Dehong asked directly, ” Where’s Miss?”
“Eldest Miss is sleeping in her room!” Xiao Cui quickly replied.
When he heard that Zhou Wenya was sleeping in her room, Zhou Dehong looked at the sun in the sky. He looked at Xiao Cui suspiciously and asked, ‘ Sleeping at this hour?” Was she really sick?
Xiao Cui lowered her head slightly and rolled her eyes. She said, Master, Eldest Miss is not feeling well, so she’s lying down in the room to rest!”
Zhou Dehong frowned slightly and walked toward Zhou Wenya’s room.
Xiao Cui was shocked and immediately ran in front of Zhou Dehong. She said with a panicked expression, ” Master, you can’t!”
Zhou Dehong looked at Xiao Cui, whose expression was obviously not right, and asked suspiciously, i ‘ Xiao Cui, why are you so flustered? Are you hiding something from me?
Xiao Cui shook her head. ” No, no. Master, how could this servant dare to hide anything from you? It’s just that…”
As he said this, she looked at the tightly shut door and continued,
“Old Master, Eldest Miss is asleep. If you enter the house directly now, you might disturb Eldest Miss’s rest. Besides, Old Master, it wouldn’t be good for a father to suddenly barge in with a daughter sleeping in the room, right?” This obviously told Zhou Dehong that it was not suitable for him to enter.
Zhou Dehong thought for a moment. Indeed.
Men and women had different seats at the age of seven!
Even if they were father and daughter, they had to avoid arousing suspicion.
However, Zhou Dehong still looked at Xiao Cui suspiciously and asked, “What’s wrong with Miss? Was it serious? Did you invite a doctor or imperial physician over to take a look?”
Xiao Cui replied very respectfully, ” Master, we have already invited a doctor. The young miss had only caught a cold a few nights ago. The doctor said that she only needed to lie in bed and rest for a few days. It’s not that serious. Don’t worry, Master!”
In the end, Zhou Dehong left.
Seeing that the old master had already dispelled his doubts and left, Xiao Cui immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
Then, she thought of something and immediately pushed open the door of the house. Zhou Wenya’s eyes were tightly shut, and her face was flushed red as she lay on the bed.
Xiao Cui immediately said, Eldest Miss, Master has left!”
When Zhou Wenya heard this, she immediately lifted the blanket and secretly exhaled. Then, she asked in puzzlement, Why did Father suddenly come to see me?
Xiao Cui shook her head and said, I don’t know!”
Zhou Wenya lowered her eyebrows and then shook her head. Forget it. Father can come over anytime. We don’t have any rules!”
Then, she said to a dresser in the room, Come out!”
Then, she saw a man in black running out from under the bed.
After he came out, he bowed to Zhou Wenya and said, ‘i Miss Zhou!” Zhou Wenya said calmly, ” How’s the investigation going?
The man in black said, ” The only clue now is the Lin Family Village!’
“Lin Family Village?” Zhou Wenya was very puzzled. ” This sounds like a village. Could she be a farmer’s daughter?”
The man in black did not deny it. However, there’s also a rumor that she’s Liu Yichen’s sister! Therefore, many forces were searching in this direction!”
When Zhou Wenya heard this, she immediately said in surprise, ” Liu Yichen’s sister? Then what did this have to do with the Lin Family Village?”
“I heard that Liu Yichen’s younger sister has been weak and sickly since she was young, so she was sent to another place to recuperate. This place might be the Lin Family Village!’
Zhou Wenya lowered her head slightly and thought about it seriously. Then,
she immediately ordered, ” Go and investigate the Lin Family Village immediately! If there is any news, inform me immediately!”
The man in black nodded. ” That’s not a problem. But Miss Zhou, this money…”
Xiao Cui immediately said angrily, ” My family’s Eldest Young Miss is going to be the Empress in the future. Don’t tell me she’ll give you one or two taels of silver less?
Everyone in the capital knew that the most beautiful and talented woman in the capital was a woman who might become the empress..
