It was a bit too dark in the Etiquette Phoenix Restaurant.

However, it was still enough for the Grand Princess to clearly read the words on the scroll.

She looked at him closely, not sparing any of the Grand Princess's subtle expressions. Her life had been boring, and she believed that the best thing that could happen to her was to see Xie Zhangshen in trouble. It would be better to peel off his skin and pull out his bones.

The second matter was right before his eyes.

The Grand Princess's good upbringing over the years did not allow her to lose her composure in front of others. Even so, her meticulously groomed face was inevitably darkened.

The aroma of the tea filled the entire room. Holding the pure white tea lid with two fingers, she gently sniffed the tea and smiled slyly, "Aunt's tea is really good."

The Grand Princess's face softened. When she opened her mouth again, the two's courteous distance from each other had already disappeared, leaving no room for calculation or sharpness.

"You have a good plan. I'm afraid you want to borrow my hand to remove that thorn in your eye."

Even though he didn't understand why Yao Zhi wanted to get rid of Xie ZhangShen, he could see through Xie Zhangzhen's intentions with a single glance.

Ye Zichen thought to himself, she normally looks like a heartless person, but she was actually underestimated.

Yao Zhi put down her teacup and stared at the Grand Princess with her innocent eyes.

"Aunt, why do you say that? Aunt, you might as well think about it. Just who is the threat to her survival."

She continued with an innocent tone, as if she was talking to herself, "I wonder what Nine took so much trouble to find her for?"

A strange sound came from the door, as if someone was provoked by his words. They took a few steps back in a disorderly manner and bumped into the door.

It was as if Yao Zhi didn't hear him, she stood up and bowed to the Grand Princess, then left.

When he passed by the flustered Xie Zhangyi standing outside the door, he smiled. He didn't stop and directly walked past her.

On the other side, Zhao He was being carried out of the Luo Mansion smoothly by his cheap younger brother. The moment she stepped out of the Luo Mansion's doorstep, she sincerely repented from the bottom of her heart.

Young Master Luo, I'm sorry, but I also have to thank someone for giving me a free exam slot.

"Mother, where are we going next?"

Chu Huai Nan took a good look at the little expression on Zhao He's face, and did not disturb him. After admiring it for a while, he pulled on Zhao He's sleeves with a face that said, "Quickly bring me home."

Zhao He felt a headache coming on as he lowered his head and corrected the little person. "You can't call me mother."

Chu Huai Nan wanted to see how worried she was, but he couldn't bear it, "Why?"

If I don't call you mother, how can I chase away the messy man beside you?

"Because I'm not married yet."

"Then what kind of person will mother marry in the future?"

Eh, isn't this topic jumping a little too much? Zhao He thought about it seriously. In her entire life, she had only met two men.

One was Chu Huai Nan, and the other was Liao Qingshan.

Thinking this way, it was best to become a nun and always be with Lord Buddha.

"I don't care." Zhao He reached out to pinch Chu Huai Nan's face, and from her hand came a soft and soft feeling unique to children that made her jealous, but her strength unconsciously lightened a little.

"You are not allowed to call me big sister in the future, otherwise I will leave you behind."

"Zhao He?"

A gentle voice called out to her. Zhao He turned around and saw Li An carrying a medicine box towards her.

"Didn't you tell me to wait for me at the teahouse?"

The bell in Chu Huai Nan's heart rang loudly. It's my birthday, and I really met a adulterer. Zhao He did not notice that the small person had already taken a step forward, vigilantly blocking Li An's approach.

Li An stopped in his tracks. He looked at the little hedgehog like child with his clean and plain brows, and then looked at the stupefied Zhao He.

"Who is he?"

"His name is Chu, it's me …"

What do you mean, taken from the Luo Residence? Zhao He's mouth was wide open, but there was no way for him to tell everything.

"It's her little brother. Is there a problem?"

Li An rubbed his nose. He didn't really understand this kid's indescribable hostility. He squatted down and fished out a bag of candied fruits from the medicine chest, which he had originally intended to buy for Zhao He.

With a gentle smile, he said, "So you're a relative of Zhao." When her eyes saw the bloody whip mark on his back, she showed a trace of pity and stuffed the candied fruit into the little person's hands.

"Let's go home with big brother."

Zhao He was moved to the side, her face full of tears. She had brazenly picked up a small person, afraid that Lee An would be unhappy and kick her as well.

Chu Huai Nan silently looked at Li An and suddenly smiled. Holding the candied fruit in his hand, he could be considered to have accepted it.

"Thank you, big brother."

The child's soft voice was extremely sweet even without any special intent.

The corners of his eyes had a smile, but his eyes were clear. This person didn't look like a bad guy, nor did he seem to have any ill intentions towards Zhao He.

Li An rubbed his head, then stood up and looked at him coolly.

There seemed to be something else in that look.

"Doctor Li, you really are a good person!"

This was the first time Zhao He wanted to use flattery to please a person.

"As a person, my luck has always been good. Every time I go out, I must pick up something."

For example, last time, it was a thousand-year-old ginseng in the mountains. The last time it was Zhao He, and this time it was Chu.

Who knew if this was a blessing or a curse.

Li An smiled helplessly. He walked in front while Zhao He and Chu followed behind. It looked like the scene was very harmonious, just like …

"Oh, Doctor Li, you're back."

As they neared the village, many acquaintances began to greet them. Of course, there were also some who spoke.

"Doctor Li, it's only been a few days since we left, why are you still here?"

Of course, such a statement couldn't stand up to much scrutiny, so it was a good thing that people started to understand.

"This child looks so old. He must be Doctor Li's illegitimate child from a few years ago in Yan City."

"That little girl is naturally the mother of an illegitimate child?"

"Of course. It really does look like it. "

Zhao He touched his face, then looked at Chu.

Chu did not pay much attention to this. This was the first time he had ever been to a place like this one. He calmly glanced at the people's affairs of Yan Kingdom.

On the other hand, Li An's face was thin and his ears were burning all the way.

Dr. Li's house had a total of two green-tiled rooms, one for medicinal herbs, the other for reading. As a bedroom, it had been dominated by Zhao He for many days.

Looking at the silent child beside him, Doctor Li coaxed, "How about you and Big Brother stay in the Medicine Hall?"

"Not good."

What he received was a neat rejection, and in order to comply with this rejection, Chu Huai Nan even moved closer to Zhao He, his small hand grabbing onto the corner of the person's clothes.

Zhao He felt quite helpless as well. This child that he had randomly picked up was rather sticky to her.

The little person rubbed his face against Zhao He and said weakly, "Big sister, the wound on my back hurts so much. Can I live with you …"
