Chu Yunxi's heart skipped a beat, and she bit her lip again and opened the album, squinting her eyes slightly and observing carefully.
It turns out that this is how you do things like that.
This, how can it still be like that?
Uh~, this action was too weird. Chu Yunxi closed his eyes and then opened them again. It was so incredible.
Is it so difficult? It takes eighteen kinds of martial arts to be proficient in everything?
Chu Yunxi's heart was beating loudly, and she suddenly felt a little thirsty. She poured herself a cup of herbal tea, drank it in two sips.
Her mother said that every woman should read this picture album before getting married. She patted her red cheeks, cheered up, and continued to look through it until her hair turned red all the way to her toes.
Chu Yunxi touched her hot forehead and felt that her whole body was feeling hot for no reason. It must be because the weather was too hot and she closed the door and blocked the windows.
"Creak." The door seemed to hear her voice and opened by itself.
"Miss, we are back."
He Xiang and Xiao Lian popped up from outside the door. Chu Yunxi was so frightened that he almost dropped the picture album in his hand, and hurriedly picked up the bag and wrapped it up.
The two put the pastry box on the table. When Xiaolian looked up, she saw Chu Yunxi's unusual expression.
"Oh, Miss, why are you so hot? It's strange, it doesn't seem to be very hot today."
Xiaolian hurriedly took a fan to fan Chu Yunxi. Hexiang sent the cakes to Chu Yunxi.
How can Chu Yunxi still think about eating cakes now?
"Get some water, miss. I want to take a bath."
"Now, now?"
I just washed it before going to bed last night, and it’s only this morning, so I’m washing it again?
"Now, right away!"
Chu Yunxi's eyes were firm, as if she couldn't do anything if she didn't take a shower now.
"Okay, miss, wait, we're going to prepare water right now."
Chu Yunxi waved,
"Xiao Lian, put this bundle in the dowry box and don't peek at it!"
Her face was still a little red.
"Yes, miss."
Xiaolian looked at the baggage curiously, but the lady wouldn't let her see it, so she definitely wouldn't look at it.
Chu Yunxi didn't have to wait too long. She finally soaked in the warm water as she wished. She picked up the water and splashed it on her face twice, which made her feel better.
She suddenly remembered that once, when Jun Lingyun got close to her, he ran out and came back wet.
Chu Yunxi covered her face with her hands. She seemed to understand now what Jun Lingyun had done at that time. But she preferred not to understand, because she was really embarrassed to see others.
Taking a deep breath, she submerged herself into the water, and happened to be seen by Xiaolian who came to deliver dry towels.
Xiaolian's heart was so frightened that it almost flew out of her throat.
"Miss, miss, please wake up quickly."
Once, the lady fell asleep while washing like this, slipped into the water and choked on the water. Why does she get sleepy so easily after taking a bath?
Before Chu Yunxi was completely submerged in the water above her head, Xiaolian had already pulled her out again.
"Miss, wuwu, you are getting married tomorrow. If something goes wrong, how will you let Xiaolian live?"
Chu Yunxi wiped the water from her face and shook her head helplessly, Xiaolian, Xiaolian, when you have a sweetheart, I will definitely pass the picture album to you, young lady.
"Xiao Lian, I just want to stab someone hard."
"Prick it, Mengzi?"
Xiaolian opened her watery tearful eyes and looked at Chu Yunxi in confusion. Could it be that the lady knew how to swim? Why didn't she know?
Xiaolian harbored doubts and helped Chu Yunxi dry herself and put on her clothes.
"Miss, when we came back, we saw His Highness the Crown Prince looking for the Master."
Chu Yunxi frowned slightly. She was looking for her father at this time, probably because of the details of tomorrow's wedding. She pursed her lips and smiled, not knowing whether she was missing or looking forward to it.
"Yeah, I got it."
"Miss, the courtyard is decorated with lights and colorful decorations everywhere. Shall we start decorating our courtyard too?"
Xiaolian felt very happy when she thought of the festive look of the General's Mansion now.
Chu Yunxi nodded.
"Okay, you and He Xiang can take care of it. Call Si Qi. I have something to say to her."
"Yes, miss."
Xiaolian went happily. The young lady and His Highness the Crown Prince were finally going to achieve enlightenment. From now on, her young lady would be a real Crown Princess. She didn’t know how lively it would be tomorrow.
When Si Qi entered the room, she saw Chu Yunxi's serious face. She bowed respectfully:
"Miss, you are looking for a slave."
Chu Yunxi thought for a moment, and since it was the person sent to her by her mentor, he should not harm her, so she asked directly:
"What is your relationship with the Sikong family?"
Si Qi didn't seem too surprised, she just raised her head slightly and looked at Chu Yunxi.
"This slave's mother was originally the adopted daughter of the Sikong family."
"Adopted daughter?"
This answer really surprised Chu Yunxi.
"Yes, it was because she was an adopted daughter and she was married outside that she was able to escape the catastrophe."
"What about your parents now?"
Chu Yunxi was about to speak but stopped, remembering that Si Qi sold herself to the general's mansion to bury her father.
"My slave's parents were killed when I was five years old."
Si Qi's expression changed slightly. The sadness and hatred in his eyes, how could Chu Yunxi, a person who had come before, not see it clearly.
She understood that Si Qi was not lying, but why was the adopted daughter of the Sikong family assassinated so many years later?
"Do you know the truth back then?"
Si Qi shook her head in pain.
"I only know that my parents met with something unexpected because they were trying to protect something belonging to the Sikong family. But I don't know who did it."
Chu Yunxi frowned, what could be worth protecting with their lives? If it is true as Si Qi said, then Si Qi's parents can be regarded as loyal people.
The only ones who covet the Sikong family are the Xiao family and the emperor. Now that the Xiao family has fallen, is Si Qi coming to her to investigate the royal family? Will Siqi anger Jun Lingyun?
Chu Yunxi thought of the scene when she first met Si Qi and couldn't help but ask:
"Why did you appear in front of me as someone who sold your body to bury your father? Who is the father you buried?"
"Miss Rongzhen, that is this slave's adoptive father. At that time, the young master Sikong Yu was the only survivor of the Sikong family. He rescued this slave and placed him in his adoptive father's home."
Sure enough, it was no accident that Si Qi came to see her. It was indeed guided by her mentor, but...
"Why don't you come to me directly? If you tell the truth, why bother taking these detours?"
If Si Qi wanted to hide these secrets about her, she wouldn't tell them all at this moment. There must be other reasons.
Si Qi knelt down and then spoke carefully.
"Miss Rong, I heard some bad rumors about the young lady in the past. I was afraid that I would be entrusted to a wrong person, so I thought of a stupid way to test the young lady's character."
Chu Yunxi was stunned. She didn't expect that while she was testing Si Qi's character, Si Qi was also testing her character. She was indeed a fan of the authorities.
The only thing Chu Yunxi is worried about now is the grudge between the Sikong family and the royal family.
"Si Qi, I can take you with me, but you have to remember that His Highness the Crown Prince is my husband and my family. I don't care what grudges you have with the royal family. If you dare to have any grievances against His Highness the Crown Prince,
I will definitely not spare you your murderous intentions."
