Even if it was noisy, even if it was noisy.

Things that had changed would eventually pass.

A day's time passed in the midst of the wind and rain in Tranquil Heart Pavilion.

Ever since Amma ran out of Tranquil Heart Pavilion, no one knew where she went.

He had looked for all the places he should be looking for, but none of them were there.

In a short time, the entire Washington started to spread rumors of the plague that had just subsided.

Just as night fell and Hua Jin Ge was making dinner with A Qin in the Tranquil Heart Pavilion's small kitchen, a series of footsteps sounded in the courtyard, interrupting their conversation.

The people who had come this time weren't as aggressive as the people who came the previous few times.

On the contrary, he was very respectful.

"Third Miss."

The person who came was Washington's butler, his name was Chen Shu. He was a middle-aged man in his fifties, but his entire body was filled with energy.

Standing in the courtyard, after seeing Hua Jin Ge following A Qin out, he bowed to him without the slightest bit of neglect.

"Old Madame returned home from the buddhist hall in Linan County, planning to stay at home for a few days. Master set up a feast, but Third Miss did not go, Old Madame ordered this old servant to invite Third Miss to take a seat."

After Chen Shu finished speaking, his gaze faintly discernable as it swept across the two shabby dishes that were placed on the stone table behind Hua Jin Ge and the others. A trace of pity seemed to have flashed across the depths of his eyes.

Hua Jin Ge naturally recognized this Chen Shu. In the past, when she was bullied by the servants of the Washington, he would always appear and berate her, and give his some sweets and pastries.

For some reason, Hua Jin Ge had the nagging feeling that when Chen Shu looked at him, the light in his eyes was different.

It was as if he was waiting for something.

Now that he thought about it, Hua Jin Ge really didn't know what was worth looking forward to of him back then.

Old Madame of the Washington.

Hearing Chen Shu call her by that name, Hua Jin Ge felt the scenery in front of him become blurry for a moment.

A light flashed before her eyes, intermixed with images of time.

The sun was setting, and three jagged figures were running happily in the afterglow of the sun.

And the child's unbridled laughter.

After thinking for a long time, he finally knew that he would never be able to return.

Only then did Hua Jin Ge slightly stabilize his gaze.

He was thinking more.

The's old Madame, Guo Yiwei, was the older sister of the current Prime Minister Guo Diling, who was three years old.

When she was young, the Guo sisters were legendary figures in the Great Yue State.

A woman is a woman, valiant and fearless in killing the enemy, a man is a scholar, can identify all the emissaries of the world, no one can be a match for her mouth.

Because of these two descendants, the Guo Family had risen rapidly in the Great Yue State's imperial court.

Furthermore, Guo Yiwei had a close relationship with the crown prince of the imperial court. The civil and military officials had often seen him in the palace as a couple, inseparable from each other.

The crown prince's wife had been missing all the time. They all said that Guo Yiwei was the main wife of the crown prince. After all, they had all seen her close relationship with the crown prince.

But later on, Guo Yiwei, for the first time, married a poor scholar and refused the royal marriage.

This action made all the officials who had already guessed that Guo Yiwei would become Great Yue State to be shocked to the point that their jaws dropped.

After that, Guo Yiwei calmed down and accompanied the scholar to live a peaceful life.

It was only when the scholar became the top scholar that his path to the throne became even smoother, until he became the same Prime Minister as Guo Datong.

That scholar was the old prime minister of the Washington, Hua Mo'an.

A few years ago, he had passed away due to a serious illness, but now that he had passed away, Guo Yiwei became even more depressed.

Ignoring family matters, later on he even ran away from home, walking between temples in the world, begging for buddhism, rarely returning home.

The only time she returned home in recent years was when Hua Xi Er married into the imperial family.

She stood at the entrance of the palace for a moment, watching Hua Xi Er enter the deep palace walls before turning and leaving.

That time, no one else saw her, but Hua Xi Er did.

Moreover, in those aged eyes, she saw very complex emotions.

With regards to this old granny, Hua Xi Er's memories of her were not shallow.

In the past, before his grandfather passed away, the two of them loved each other dearly.

Grandmother was very serious, but Grandpa was very lively and adorable. Grandmother would always take the ruler to admonish Hua Xi Er, so Granddad would always protect Hua Xi Er, and get chased and beaten up by Grandmother.

Those memories belonged to the three of them. Others had never heard of them, nor would they know.

At that time, Hua Jin Ge did not understand why such a healthy grandfather would suddenly pass away from sickness.

Furthermore, he did not understand why his grandmother, who loved her grandfather so much in the Washington, would be able to let go of everything and leave as soon as she was gone for many years.

Why was it that when he was getting married in his previous life, he didn't show his face even when he came back?

Even though she had experienced so much, betrayed and harmed so many things, even though she had been reborn, she still did not understand these things.

The light in his eyes gradually shifted.

He shifted his attention to the stone table beneath the big tree and gazed at it for a long time before Chen Shu opened his mouth once again and pulled his thoughts back.

"Third Miss, the dishes in wutong house have already been laid out for a long time. If you don't go now, I'm afraid you will have to eat too much."

Ever since the Old Master of the Washington passed away, the Old Granny's personality had become very strange. For example, after dinner, she could not eat anymore, and her supper could not have more than five dishes.

What was even weirder was that previously, the Old Madame really liked the two children of Madame. However, after the Old Master passed away, not only did she not like the two children anymore, she also disliked them.

Thinking about it, Chen Shu looked at Hua Jin Ge and could not help but sigh.

Hua Jin Ge blinked his bright eyes, revealing a look of helplessness as he nodded his head heavily.

Chen Shu followed him out.

Before leaving, he even asked A Qin to stay in the courtyard obediently, he would bring her delicious food when she returned.

Hearing Hua Jin Ge's extremely kind and warm words, Chen Shu couldn't help but curl his lips. From the bottom of his heart, he felt that this Third Miss was the same as the Great Miss;

Back then, when the Great Miss was forced to marry into the Imperial Palace, he had felt heartache.

Only, the Third Miss was about to marry into the Southern King's Manor again.

Everyone knew that Emperor bestowed the Third Miss to him for the sake of slapping him in the face. Even if the Southern King wanted to marry the Third Miss, he would definitely not treat her very well.

Third Miss was also stupid, and didn't know anything. If he went to Southern King's Manor, wouldn't he be bullied?

Thinking of this, Chen Shu couldn't help but feel excruciating pain in his heart.

After thinking about it for so long, Chen Shu lowered his head, yet didn't notice that behind him, Hua Jin Ge's eyes, that were bright and resplendent amidst the dark night, were actually so clear and bright.
