"Man can conquer heaven?" Shi Chunfen stared blankly at the noble and stern face of the man in front of her. In her heart, he was indeed the proud man of heaven who could get everything he wanted. But no matter how powerful he was, he was just a human being. People had to fight against him.
Tiandou, how is this possible?
Seeing her suspicious gaze, Chu Ling frowned in displeasure. He reached out and snatched the book from Shi Chun's hand, and said with a cold face, "Okay, I'll read while you catch up on your sleep."
"Oh." Shi Chunfen shrank his neck, knowing that he had touched the old man's inverse scale again.
Lu Tao next to her handed the pillow over in time and stuffed it into her hand.
The journey is long and the carriage is slow and steady. This is the perfect time to catch up on some sleep.
After several days of traveling, they finally returned to Liuzhou before Xiao Man. The old lady hadn't seen Chu Ling for a long time. As soon as she knew they were back, she couldn't wait to send someone to call him over. Shi Chunfen was responsible for settling Jiang Ya to avoid
When she first arrived, no one cared about her.
This was the first time they had met since the incident, and neither of them looked at ease.
At the Spring Equinox, he placed Jiang Ya in the Chu family's villa specially used to receive guests, and sent her there in person, "Miss Jiang, you will live here to recuperate from now on. I will allocate two maids to you later. You have
Tell them whenever you need anything."
Jiang Ya looked at her intently. She thought that after that incident, even if Shi Chunquin didn't avoid her, she wouldn't give her a good look. She didn't expect that she would appear in front of her as if nothing had happened. It seemed that this woman's city was far away.
Deeper than she imagined.
As if aware of her gaze, Shi Chunfen gently raised his eyes and met her eyes. Her eyes were gentle, without any resentment or grievance. They were as peaceful as a pool of stagnant water, but bottomless.
Jiang Ya vaguely felt that such a look was familiar. Later, she suddenly remembered that Chu Ling had looked at her with such a look.
Jiang Ya was defeated in the end and looked away with a guilty conscience, "Thank you, young mistress."
Shi Chunfen smiled lightly, but the smile did not reach her eyes. She knew that Jiang Ya came with bad intentions, but because of Chu Ling, she had to be pleasant. Until now, she still doesn't understand that there are so many women in the world, why Chu Ling insists on bringing back one Hui
The woman who made things difficult for her, especially Chu Ling, who was always very kind to other women, made an exception for Jiang Ya. It was hard for her not to wonder if he was already attracted to Jiang Ya.
After exiting Jiang Ya's room, Shi Chunfen said to Lu Tao: "Go and pick two smart girls to serve her. Be sure to keep an eye on her every move in Chu's house." She doesn't mind Jiang Ya.
Thoughts about Chu Ling, he would never give her another chance to frame him.
Lu Tao nodded quickly, "Yes, grandma."
The group returned to their yard. Li Yan and Sang Pi had already been waiting at the gate of the yard with their men. What surprised Shi Chunfen was that Yu Atu was among the girls. She had driven Yu Atu away at the beginning.
When she returned to Liuzhou, she didn't specifically ask her to go back to her aunt's house, but she was allowed to take advantage of the loophole and sneak back directly to Chu's house. Shi Chunfen glanced at her lightly, and she quickly lowered her head with a guilty conscience.
"Welcome the eldest mistress back home." All the girls bent down and saluted. It seemed that they had been trained in an orderly manner during her absence.
"Yeah." Shi Chunfen nodded slightly and went directly into the room.
Li Yan and Sang Pi looked at each other and rushed in.
"Grandma, you've been working hard for a long journey. Would you like to pass on some food or fetch a bucket of water for you to bathe and change clothes?" Li Yan said enthusiastically.
Shi Chunfen shook his head and pinched his brows tiredly, "No need, I'm so stiff lying on the carriage. I want to move around first and take a shower and change clothes later."
"Yes." Li Yan responded, then quietly stood aside and said no more.
Sang Pi took the opportunity and said, "I heard that grandma brought a girl with her when she came back from Huating. I wonder where she came from?"
Shi Chun made a move to break up, knowing that she wanted to take the opportunity to find out about Chu Ling, and her head hurt again.
How could Chu Ling be so good at provoking women every day?
She was angry and said coldly: "Your seal has been lifted, how many more days do you want to come back?"
Sangpi's expression froze, and he waved his hand quickly, "No, grandma... no need."
Li Yan snorted and laughed happily from the side, "You deserve to be punished for asking about your master all day long!"
Sangpi glared at her and timidly said to Shi Chunquin: "Then grandma... the slave went out first?"
Shi Chunquin hummed, and did not forget to add: "Help me call Yu Atu in."
Sangpi responded and left the room as if fleeing.
After she left, Shi Chunfen looked at Li Yan and asked, "Did anything happen in the house while the uncle and I were away?"
Li Yan shook her head and said honestly: "It's nothing special. Even Sang Pi has restrained himself a lot."
This was actually a pun. She only restrained herself after Chu Ling left. Didn't it make it clear that her heart was not here?
But Shi Chunfen is not a jealous person. Although he heard it, he didn't react much, "What about the old lady? Is she still healthy?"
Li Yan was stunned for a moment, and quickly replied: "Everything is fine with the old lady, and the other masters and young masters in the house are also well, but..." She glanced at Shi Chunfen cautiously, and continued: "The Liu family sent someone to look for her.
The master caused a scene, and Aunt Liu took the opportunity to bring Miss Ying back."
Shi Chunfen frowned, "Isn't that what you call nothing special?" Chu Ying's personality is inherently paranoid. She suffered so much when she was sent out. I'm afraid she will hate her even more when she comes back this time, so she should be more careful.
Li Yan lowered her head and spoke carefully: "This time Miss Ying came back, her temper has calmed down a lot, and her treatment of others has become much kinder. I think she won't pose much threat to grandma."
"Should?" Shi Chunfen only found it funny. Ever since she realized that Hongxing and Lutao were always thinking about her, she realized how fooled these slaves in her yard were. Forget about the younger ones, Li Yan, as a
A first-class girl, obviously capable of all things, but she always treats her as the master. If she doesn't discipline her, I'm afraid she will die in their hands next time without even knowing what happened.
She looked at Li Yan with a rare sharp expression, "How about you wait until you are sure next time and then tell me this slowly?"
Li Yan was startled and kneeled down subconsciously, "I have neglected my duty, please forgive me!"
Shi Chunfen snorted, her usually gentle brows and eyes full of disappointment, "Li Yan, you have been promoted to a first-class girl at such a young age, but don't tell me that you are not up to your ability? Is it dereliction of duty or dereliction of duty? You know it yourself.
