Zhou Ji looked at the smile on Chu Nianhe’s face and felt a little chilled for a moment. He stopped talking for a while, and finally he pushed back his words to say.
Chu Nianhe looked at his expression carefully. She walked back to the chair a few steps and sat down. Her gentle tone was decisive: “Do you think I’m too cruel?”
“I…” Zhou Ji grunted for a while, and still gritted her teeth and said, “The old lady has sent the second lady to the countryside to live. Why should the eldest lady be so obsessed with her?”
Chu Nianhe was not afraid that Zhou Ji would have doubts about what she did. After all, she was just a fifteen-year-old girl in the eyes of others. She really seemed a little more scheming when she was doing it. It’s just that people are the slaughter and I am the fish. If I stop moving forward, wouldn’t I become the one who can be slaughtered?
“Xiao Ji, one day you will understand the principle that if you don’t advance, you will retreat. Although Chu Leyan is my real sister, she is too ambitious. If I didn’t walk ahead of her every step, let alone this palace, even the Chu family wouldn’t have a place to stay.”
Chu Nianhe had no expression on her face, but there was a few cold light in her eyes, which made Zhou Ji feel a little awake. He suddenly remembered the incident of Xiaomu being instructed by the Su family and daughter to report Chu Nianhe. Their ugly faces were still vivid in their minds, and he even spoke to them. He was really heartless.
“Miss!” Zhou Ji walked forward with some regret, and then thumped
Kneeled down: “It’s Zhou Ji who is confused. After following the lady for so long, he even feels sympathy for the evil people. It’s really inappropriate.”
Chu Nianhe didn’t care about Zhou Ji’s words, so Xu helped him and said, “It’s good that you have good thoughts, but there are too many things in this world that can eat people and not spit bones. You must be alert.”
Her expression was very calm, but there seemed to be a trace of sorrow hidden between her beautiful eyebrows, which was unpredictable. Zhou Ji looked at her for a while. When he recovered, he quickly changed the subject and said, “Miss, I wonder if you have heard about the imperial examination in the palace this year. The second young master should have taken the exam.”
“Oh?” Chu Nianhe pinched the corner of her clothes and looked at Zhou Ji thoughtfully and said, “Did you hear that the chief examiner is and who is the examiner?”
Zhou Ji knew that Chu Nianhe would want to know these details, and had already found out the matter clearly. At this moment, he said everything like offering treasures: “The chief examiner is Zhang Qingbao of our Jinyun City Government Office. It is said that Your Majesty intends to train the Seventh Prince this year, and the review of the Seventh Prince has been handed over to the Seventh Prince to do.”
Zhou Ji is well-informed this time. It seems that she really needs to go to the Seventh Prince’s Mansion in person.
When the medicine shop came out, it was already dawn, and the people in the market began to set up stalls, just waiting for the customers to come to visit. Chu Nianhe quietly got on the carriage and tookXiaochan and Xiaoling rushed to the mansion.
Before he arrived at the door of the mansion, Chu Nianhe saw that Xu’s mother was standing waiting for her. When she saw her carriage coming, Xu’s mother hurriedly walked forward a few steps and watched Chu Nianhe walk out of the carriage with a smile.
“Miss has worked hard all the way. Come to Jinglan Pavilion to meet the old lady.”
Chu Nianhe also looked at Xu’s mother with a smile and said, “How is grandmother doing recently? Nianhe is very worried.”
Although her relationship with Chen was also established step by step, Chen was her grandmother after all, and she gave her the opportunity to enter the palace to meet the princess, so her greeting was very sincere.
