"I told you to stop, are you deaf?"

This time, he couldn't pretend he couldn't hear her, he had already blocked his way. Zhao He looked at the long white hand, and then he stroked it along the golden silk gown, looking up at Luo Zixian's handsome face.

At that moment, he was frowning impatiently.

Zhao He calculated in his heart. It really was fated to meet three times a day.

As for Luo Zitong, he looked at the maid who raised her eyebrows and felt that she was unfamiliar, but that was nothing as he had always called for people and never looked down on them.

"You, follow me to the Winter Insect Courtyard."

This... Not good.

The Luo Residence's Ming Zhu was confused as she did not see that her identity as a maid was being mixed up in the Luo Residence. However, if it was seen by others, it would most likely be life-threatening.

Zhao He didn't want to go, so he couldn't move.

Luo Zi let out a strange "heh", as if he had never seen such a disobedient servant girl before.

He reached out his hand to grab her collar and dragged her away.

"Let's go. There's a reward when we finish."

Passing through three to four corridors and four to five corners, Zhao He closed her eyes in despair. Although she was gifted with photographic memory, her attainments in the area of memorizing roads were rather low … As the saying goes, a person with no sense of direction.

He didn't know how long he had been dragged along, but indeed, he stopped in front of a unique and quiet garden.

"Young Master, is there another courtyard in the manor called the Xia Grass Courtyard?"

Luo Ziteng glanced at her and snappily asked, "You don't know if there is one or not?"

Zhao He laughed dryly. "I just arrived, I really …" "I don't know."

"So much nonsense." Luo Zi Xun climbed the stairs and pushed open the door to the main chamber. Seeing that the person had not followed, he turned around impatiently.

"What are you standing there in a daze for? Follow me!"

Zhao He acknowledged him with an "oh" before cautiously following him into the room. She constantly scanned the surroundings with her eyes.

If one did not look carefully, one would not be able to see the particular details. One would only feel that the room was elegant and simple, and there was even a refreshing fragrance coming from the furnace.

However, if one looked closely, the furnishings of this room, although not very old, were exactly the same. The bookshelves made of gold silk and zhennan wood, the small incense stove with six feet of gilded metal, and even the flowers by the window were carved from beautiful jade and made of gold and silver.

True... Luxury.

At that moment, the extravagant young master was not ashamed at all. He was taking care of his own clothes.

Zhao He's eyes began to search for items that could knock someone out with a single blow, and he pretended to be calm as he asked, "Young Master, why are you undressing?"

When Luo Zi Xun saw her flustered eyes, he knew that she was thinking of a wrong idea. For a moment, she had the intention of teasing him. She undid her knots as she paced back and forth towards the others, her tender lips curling up into a playful smile.

"What do you think?"

Zhao He took two steps back and leaned his waist against the table. He reached back and found a candle lamp on the table. He wondered if he would beat someone to death with this. Luo Zi Xun had already taken off his outer robe and threw it against the young maid's chest, sneering, "Of course I'm going to let you sew clothes."

The Prime Minister was a very inflexible person. He had never been strict in disciplining his son because he was afraid that his son would have too many red sleeves and have a bad temper. Although there were many maids in the Luo Mansion, as the Young Master, he didn't have a single maid in his room.

The rest of the work was fine, except for the red needle and thread, which the men in the hospital could not do on their behalf. When there was an emergency, it was not the first time that Son of Luo had called for a maid to rescue him.

Behind him, Zhao He loosened his grip on the candlestick. He wanted to throw the robe back to his face, but at this moment, a jingling sound was heard, as if some jade artifact had crashed into the ground.

It had fallen out of his robe. It was a jade the size of his palm. On one side, it was carved with the word "learning" while the other one was engraved with the word "preparation". Before Zhao He could see clearly, Luo Zi had already taken the plate away.

"Young master, what is this? It didn't break, right?"

Luo Zi put the jade token back into his sleeve and patted his chest, "Luckily, if the jade token was broken, my dad would definitely skin me alive."

Luo Zi Xun rolled his eyes. Although he was impatient, he still replied, "This plate is the proof of the Imperial College Entrance Examination. Without this plate, you won't be able to take the test."

The descendants of eunuchs and those recommended would all be given one. On the day of the exam, they would also enter using the jade medallion.

Zhao He seemed to have thought of something and understood. Her hand went back to the candlestick.

She suddenly called out, "Young Master?"

Luo Zi looked up at Zhao He's smiling eyes and said, "I'm sorry."

Just as she wanted to ask what she was sorry about, a candlestick was thrown at her at lightning speed. Before she could finish her sentence, her body went limp and she fainted on the ground.

Zhao He took out the jade token from his bosom and patted Luo Zixian's pretty face. Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!

"Thank you for your jade token."

This saved him a lot of trouble. The prime minister's wife did not need to look for him, and he did not need to take the recommendation letter. Before Zhao He left, he carefully covered the door of the room and walked out of the Winter Insect Courtyard with light footsteps.

However, as soon as she left the Winter Insect Courtyard, she felt a bit lost. She was led around a series of twists and turns by Luo Zi Xun, and she really didn't know how to get out.

At this moment, a sound came from the bushes beside him. Zhao He became alert and asked in a loud voice, "Who is it? Come out!"

He saw a child half grown up crawling out of the grass. This child's hair was disheveled and his clothes were torn to shreds by the whip. Zhao He recognized him. Wasn't he the little servant who had just been bought into the house by Luo Zi Xun?

The child's black eyes stared straight at Zhao He. She pursed her lips and cried out in grievance. She threw herself onto Zhao He's body, hugging him tightly.

"Mother!" While crying, he buried his face into the soft flesh on the young lady's waist and chuckled to himself.

Zhao He froze in place, his face turning dark. He wanted to use his hands to push away the child, but his eyes met the numerous whip marks on the child's back.

Chu Huai Nan rubbed against Zhao He's body again, and only after eating enough tofu did he raise his head. His pair of wet eyes stared at Zhao He until his heart softened, and he said while sobbing, "Mother, don't leave Chu behind any more!"

Zhao He took a deep breath, squatted down, and looked the little person in the eye. As gently as possible, he said, "I'm not your mother. Don't call me that." Chu Huai Nan was very understanding and quickly changed his words, "Then I'll call you my wife!"

Zhao He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He acted like a child who didn't know anything and pretended to be fierce. "Even a wife won't do. Call me big sister!"

No way, right?!

It's okay, it's okay. There's a long way to go.

Chu Huai Nan smiled with an "obedient" face and opened his mouth, "Elder Sister!" This time, she directly threw herself into his embrace, burying her face in his chest. Her heart couldn't help but feel that it was too beautiful.

Instantly, Zhao He's face turned completely red. She consoled herself with the thought that the other party was just a child, a pitiful child at that. She could not be as fussy as he was.
