As soon as they heard that Chu Kuo was coming, there was an immediate sensation in Jianjia courtyard.
The nervous Zidie hid behind the angry Skylark, with fear in her eyes, "Miss, what is he doing here?"
Zhang Qingjiu glanced at Zidie and couldn't help but laugh. To be able to scare the little girl like this, one can only imagine how bad Chu Kuo must have been in the past.
but……
"If I remember correctly, you are the one in charge of the accounts in the accounting room. How did you end up doing this correspondence?" Zhang Qingjiu narrowed his eyes as he turned his attention to the man in front of him who came to Jiangjia courtyard to report.
When asked by Zhang Qingjiu, the man who reported the news stiffened, looked at her cautiously, and immediately lowered his head, "To answer the question, Miss Zhang, Butler Zhang accidentally fell off the bed the night before yesterday. Not only was it supposed to be fine,
The leg was broken again, and the other leg was also broken. Madam sympathized with his hard work, so she sent him to a villa to rest, so that he could recover and come back. Thanks to Madam, he is now the temporary caretaker of the little one.
Family position."
Zhang Qingjiu nodded in understanding, and she explained why she hadn't seen Zhang Yuan dragging his legs in front of her in the past two days.
Not ignoring the fearful look in this man's eyes, Zhang Qingjiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Since you were promoted by your mother, then you should listen to her and do your job well."
She was a little surprised that Chu Feng would send Zhang Yuan away directly, but it was indeed a good idea. Some people staying here would sooner or later be a hidden danger.
But this broken leg... A hint of a smile flashed in Zhang Qingjiu's eyes. The cause and effect of human life is not just a broken leg.
"Yes." After hearing this, the man felt as if he had been granted amnesty. He did not dare to forget the scene when he met this young lady for the first time and she single-handedly made the entire prime minister's house uneasy. "Little Zhong Qingyun, thank you madam and
Miss’s appreciation.”
"Yes." Zhang Qingjiu nodded, "Where is Chu Kuo now?"
Hearing Zhang Qingjiu address the Eighth Prince by his first name, Zhong Qingyun couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. However, seeing the calm expressions on the faces of the people in Jianjia Courtyard, he could only pretend to be calm and said, "As for Miss, the Eighth Prince has been invited by the younger one."
Into the living room."
Zhang Qingjiu asked again: "Where are the Prime Minister and my mother?"
"The Prime Minister is busy with official duties and has not come back today. Madam went out to burn incense early this morning." Zhong Qingyun said again, "His Highness the Eighth Prince named me to come to see the young lady, so I had to come and report first."
She could understand Chu Feng going out to offer incense, but this time Tai Liu was busy with official duties?
Zhang Qingjiu thought for a while and couldn't help but laugh.
Is this really busy or just making room for someone? This is a question worth thinking about.
Seeing that Zhang Qingjiu didn't say that he wanted to see Chu Kuo, Zhong Qingyun hesitated for a moment and said boldly, "How about I reject him and say that the lady is not in the house?"
"Pfft..." After hearing what you said, even Zhang Qingjiu couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Can you believe it once I say this?"
After saying that, Zhang Qingjiu stood up and waved, "Forget it, I'll go see him."
"If you don't want to see him, I'll stop you." Zhang Qingjiu had just walked to the door when Murong Chunlai crossed his arms and blocked her from the side, with a cold look in his eyes.
Obviously, he heard the conversation just now.
Zhang Qingjiu stared at him and said with a smile, "Stop him? May I ask what identity you plan to use to stop him?"
After saying that, Zhang Qingjiu shook his head, stood up and walked outside, "Don't worry, he won't dare do anything to me."
Murong Chunlai looked at that slender back, the expression in his eyes changed again and again, and finally stood back to where he was.
In the living room of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Chu Kuo looked at the servants who did not dare to say anything and lowered their eyebrows, with a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth.
He came to the Prime Minister's Mansion once or twice, and every time he came, someone came out to greet him? How had he ever been treated like this?
If it had been in the past, he would have rushed directly into the backyard, but now...he has plenty of time to wait.
After picking up the tea and taking a sip, Chu Kuo suddenly saw a figure in his eyes.
Looking at the woman in a white dress walking towards him with brisk steps, Chu Kuo raised his eyebrows and showed a smile at the corner of his mouth.
"I don't know that the Eighth Prince arrived and was not welcomed from afar." Stepping into the living room, Zhang Qingjiu glanced at Chu Kuo, who was sitting on the main seat. He didn't regard himself as a guest at all, and sat down opposite him openly, "
So what is the reason for your sudden visit?"
If you are an ordinary person, you will definitely add a modest phrase like "I still hope for the sea" after "We are disappointed but welcome from afar".
Even the people in this room thought that Zhang Qingjiu would say the same thing. Who knew that she would say such an unkind word afterward.
The sudden reversal made everyone in the room couldn't help laughing and rolled their eyes, but they didn't dare to laugh out loud, and their faces turned red in shock.
The smile on Chu Kuo's face also froze.
He originally thought that the woman had changed her temper, but he didn't expect that she would be teased by him again. He was so angry that he almost got up and walked away.
Fortunately, he did not forget his purpose today.
Thinking of what Concubine Xie and the Queen Mother said to him, Chu Kuo took a deep breath, and the smile on his face was more sincere than ever before, "Sister Xiaojiu, after this incident, Brother Eight really knows that he is wrong. It was Brother Eight who did it before.
I'm wrong, I've let you down. Although Sister Xiaojiu no longer cares about me, I still want to say sorry. Furthermore, I was able to come out so quickly this time because of your help, so I came here today.
To thank you."
The little sister who is drinking wine every time, the big brother who is talking inside and outside the words, it is called an affectionate one.
Zhang Qingjiu felt the hairs on his sleeves that were so disgusted that they stood upright, and he almost didn't stand up and directly sealed Chu Kuo's mouth.
"His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince." Taking a deep breath, Zhang Qingjiu showed a smile on his lips, "Come here when you come, talk about things as you say, talk about your sister and talk about your brother. Could it be that you have forgotten that you are still my brother-in-law.
"
The smile on Chu Kuo's face froze for an instant, and just as he was about to explode, he remembered the reason why he came here, suppressed it again, and said with a wry smile, "Do you and I really have to live together like this?"
"Eighth Prince, we don't necessarily have such a deep relationship." Zhang Qingjiu sneered and stood up, "If you have something to say, I'll leave as soon as nothing happens."
When she sat down again, Chu Kuo was not disgusted, but Chu Kuo was disgusting her.
Sun Tzu, we must not let his evil ideas succeed!
At the same time, in the Prince's Mansion.
In the study, the sound of the piano is ethereal, like the music of a fairy palace, and like the gurgling water.
Mu Qing knocked on the door of Chu Lan's study and took a deep breath, "Your Highness, according to reports from people in the Eighth Prince's palace, the Eighth Prince went to the Prime Minister's Palace today."
"Bang——"
The sound of the piano suddenly stopped.
On this sunny day in early summer, Mu Qing felt a bone-chilling chill in the warm room.
