C114 (1/2)

By the time they exited the cave, the sun had already set. It was already dark outside in winter. Looking at it now, it was not too early. Hua Yuan followed the path and headed towards the Spirit Origin Temple. When they were near the Spirit Origin Temple, she heard Bai Qin shout in surprise, ”Miss, you're back?!”

”Lower your voice!” The girl who came out with him said.

It was because the young miss had left for too long and they hadn't been by her side for such a long time. Who knew what had happened? If something were to happen, what would happen?

After all, even though the old master doted on their young mistress. But their young lady was not in a good situation. This was something that all of them could see.

If this matter were to be discovered by others, it would truly ruin their young mistress' reputation. It would be terrible.

Bai Qin was usually very calm, but she had just met Hua Yuan, so she was a bit excited. He didn't think much about what he said, and when he heard her, he didn't get angry. Instead, he praised her, ”You're right, I was too careless.”

Hua Yuan shook her head. ”It's fine. It's getting late. Let's head back earlier.” Otherwise, it would be too late to get to the Residence. ”

If he was late, he was afraid that the Yuan clan would be worried, and he was afraid that the madame would say something else. However, this caused people to feel displeased in their hearts. Although she did not think much of the old lady's actions, she could only endure as she was pressured by her seniority. The best way was to not let her catch his weakness!

Bai Qin and Jiao'er were also serving Hua Yuan, so they naturally understood what she meant. They all lowered their heads and did not say anything. Because they both knew that Hua Yuan's words were correct!

After getting on the carriage, the coachman drove the carriage steadily.

Along the way, they directly arrived at the Hua Manor entrance. After Hua Yuan entered, she met Hua Yufei.

Hua Yufei smirked and said, ”Sister, you're back?” Why is it so late? I thought that little sister would really come back earlier than I did, just as you said. Unexpectedly … ”Ai, why are you saying this? Grandmother is asking you to come over. Little Sister should be careful.”

Hua Yuan broke into a smile. ”Thank you for your concern, Big Sister.”

Hua Yufei didn't say anything. She turned around and walked towards the old mistress' courtyard.

The old mistress' residence was quiet as usual. Perhaps it was because the madame enjoyed peace and quiet, Chuchu followed behind Hua Yuan and said, ”The madame is not in a good mood. Be careful.”

These words were actually heard by the magpie who came out to see if anyone had arrived. The magpie had always been waiting on the madame, but because of Chu Chuchu, it had never entered the madame's eyes. However, after waiting on her for such a long time, people could tell that the madame did not like the mother and daughter. While Chuchu was still talking, the magpie thought he was holding on to Chuchu. He smiled proudly, but his voice was full of ridicule, ”Oh, I didn't know that Sister Chuchu had such a close relationship with Second Miss. I guess the madame would like to see it too. Sister Chuchu, what do you say? ”

Chuchu didn't think much of her, ”Just serve the old lady well. Don't talk nonsense here!”

The magpie's face turned red as he was told. He stood behind them and stared at their backs with eyes full of hatred!

The second young mistress was the prime minister's own daughter, so it didn't matter if she was noble or not. However, this Chuchu was just an orphan adopted by the old mistress. Who could be more noble than who?

She was the only one who put on airs every day. She looked more like a proper mistress of the prime minister's residence than anyone else! Yet, she, Magpie, couldn't stand to see something like this!

He followed behind her hatefully and headed towards the old mistress' room.

Hua Yuan happened to be packing for the madame, ”Madam Ji An.”

The old mistress' brows twitched, but her expression was much calmer than before. Hua Yuan, on the other hand, was not in a good mood. She heard the old mistress not making things difficult for her, but said, ”Stand up.”

Hua Yuan suppressed the strange feelings in her heart and stood up to thank the madame.

”He went to the Spirit Origin Temple today?” the madame asked.
