The housekeeper never thought that this matter would involve him.
Seeing that she had no intention of joking, her face suddenly turned pale and she said, "Old slave, please don't use it."
He smiled very reluctantly.
"This old slave is just thinking about the eldest lady, and has absolutely no other intentions. The eldest lady must not misunderstand this old slave."
"That's it." Chu Ran murmured softly, and then she didn't mention the matter of asking him to kneel with her again.
The butler breathed a sigh of relief, bowed his head and retreated to the corner.
After this happened, he no longer dared to intercede for the third young master. He could only pray secretly in his heart, hoping that the master would come back soon.
"Brother Xinghe!"
A delicate exclamation suddenly came from the crowd.
Chu Ran raised his eyes and looked out the door of the mansion, and saw a girl wearing a lotus-colored skirt and shirt, with red lips and white teeth. Under the protection of maids and guards, she squeezed out of the crowd and ran to Chu Xinghe.
"Fourth Miss Fu family?" The housekeeper was startled, and then a look of relief appeared on his face.
This person also exists in the memory of the original owner.
The young daughter of the Prime Minister's Palace had a childhood relationship with Chu Xinghe and had been the little tail behind him since she was a child.
Later, he entered Nanling College and stayed there for nearly seven years. He returned home after completing his studies at the beginning of this year.
At such a young age, he already has the cultivation level of a fourth-grade spiritual servant, and he is also a rare first-grade weapon refiner!
"No one is allowed to look! Everyone, please close your eyes to me! Anyone who dares to peek at Brother Xinghe will be beaten by me!" Fu Huanwan's petite body stood in front of Chu Xinghe, glaring fiercely at the people around him.
"Yes, Miss." The guard of the Prime Minister's Mansion looked solemn, holding the saber at his waist and scanning the crowd with sharp eyes.
The murderous posture made many people close their eyes in a hurry.
Fu Huanwan withdrew her gaze with satisfaction, squatted down, held Chu Xinghe's arm, and tried to help him up.
But his whole body was so weak that he couldn't stand at all. With this support, all the weight fell on her. Fu Huanwan's feet were weak. If the maid hadn't supported her in time, she would have fallen down on the spot.
After regaining her footing, she had no choice but to call the guards to help lift Chu Xinghe up.
Looking at his limp appearance, his face changed in vain, "What's going on! Brother Xinghe, who made you look like this!"
Chu Xinghe lowered his eyelids, and a calculating light flashed in his eyes hidden by his long hair.
"Why don't you speak? Huh?" Fu Huanwan lowered his head and immediately spotted the wooden sign on his chest, "Disrespectful to the eldest sister? Didn't your sister go out of the city to practice?"
As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she suddenly remembered the name that had been discussed a lot in the city recently.
A pair of almond eyes suddenly widened, "Is it Chu Ran? How could she bully you like this!"
Anger welled up in her heart, and she turned her head and stared at the door, "Where is Chu Ran! Tell her to come out!"
"Miss Fourth, do you have any advice?"
A light green figure walked slowly from the courtyard.
She was petite in stature, with a face as thin as the size of a palm, but there was a faint smile on her lips, and her eyes were as black as inky jade. She stopped on the steps outside the house, allowing everyone to look at her, but she still looked calm and composed.
"You...you are Chu Ran?" Fu Hanhan didn't believe it.
She had never seen her before when she came to the General's Mansion. At that time, Brother Xinghe only said that she was stupid and couldn't learn the rules, so she was not allowed to go out to meet guests.
The few times they met were at banquets held by noble ladies. Later, she felt that those women were just gossiping, gossiping and gossiping, so she didn't bother to go there anymore.
Although she didn't meet him often, she vaguely remembered that he always looked stupid and cowardly.
But the man in front of him was so impressive that he couldn't possibly be stupid at all.
She shook her head to put aside the shock.
"Since you are Chu Ran, well, I ask you, why do you bully brother Xinghe? You'd better give me an explanation that satisfies me, otherwise, don't blame me for bullying you, a fool!"
Golden light suddenly appeared, and there was a golden double sword in her hand!
"It's a yellow-level spiritual weapon!"
"I heard that she is a first-grade weapon refiner. Did she refine these swords herself?"
"This fool has hit the wall today."
"She deserves it! She should have been taught a lesson long ago for her charming appearance!"
…
Everyone looked at the scene in front of them with gloating, and no one spoke for Chu Ran.
Previous rumors about the regent have made her the object of jealousy and rejection by countless people.
That person was the God of War of the Jin Kingdom, an existence comparable to the god Zhuan in the eyes of the people, and as the first person to win the favor of the god, she naturally became a dazzling and annoying existence in the eyes of the believers.
"Miss Chu!"
A black shadow flew down from the wall and landed in front of Chu Ran.
"He! He is the regent's personal attendant!"
Someone recognized Aoki and immediately exclaimed.
"How come the prince's people are here?"
"How long has he been here? Did you hear what we just said?"
Thinking that the prince knew that he called the person he valued a fox, the people who just spoke could not help but shudder.
Others were also frightened, especially those who had slandered and ridiculed Chu Ran. They all lowered their heads and pretended to be dead.
"Is that you?" Chu Ran looked behind him subconsciously.
"The master is not here." Qingmu said, his eyes sweeping over Fu Huanhan and others, "Miss Fu, what is this?"
Fear flashed across Fu Huanwan's face, but looking at the embarrassed Chu Xinghe beside her, she gritted her teeth and said, "I don't care! She must give me an explanation today!"
Her fiancé must not be bullied in vain!
"Explain? Does Miss Fu know what he did?"
Chu Ran sneered.
"As a concubine, he has repeatedly spoken rudely to me, my legitimate daughter, and today he even instigated these people to do harm to me! I just punished him to kneel here to reflect, is that too much?"
"Daughter!?" Fu Huanhan's face was full of surprise, "How come I don't know about this?"
Growing up, she only knew that Mrs. Zheng was the matron of the General's Mansion, and Brother Xinghe was the only young master in the family, but no one had ever told her that this young master was a concubine!
Not only her, but everyone else was also shocked.
"Maybe it's been so long since my mother passed away that everyone has forgotten that the General's Mansion once had such a head wife."
Hearing this, the older people in the crowd suddenly remembered something.
"That's right! The General's Mansion really married a lady more than 20 years ago! At that wedding, I remember that the General's Mansion held a flowing banquet for two days in a row, entertaining the people of the city, and it was a sensation!"
"That's right, I went there to eat with my parents at that time."
"I saw that lady from a distance on the day of worship. She was truly a majestic figure."
More and more people are thinking of the grand occasion more than 20 years ago.
The sounds of remembrance and emotion drifted into the palace gate with the wind, like thunder, exploding in Zheng Jinhua's ears.
The eardrums were buzzing.
She worked hard for more than twenty years to erase the existence of that woman. The world only knew that she was the eldest lady of the General's Mansion. No one remembered that she had been a concubine and was inferior to others.
But now, all the hard work has been ruined!
The illusion of glory that she had tried so hard to maintain was severely torn apart at this moment.
Her heart ached to the point of bleeding, and overwhelming hatred filled her heart.
"Chu Ran! Chu Ran!!"
It's her!
It's all that bitch's fault!
Killing intent surged in his eyes, and his well-maintained face gradually became distorted, as terrifying as a ghost.
