C3 The Art of Voodoo Gu
Xiaochan, who had been standing at the side, looked at the Eldest Miss with a happy expression on her face. She had always felt that the third young miss of the Shen family wasn't a good person, but since the eldest young mistress was fond of her, no matter how she tried to persuade her, she wouldn't listen.
But now, just a few words were enough to humiliate Third Young Miss. It was truly satisfying!
"Xiaochan," Chu Nianhe asked, holding onto the exquisite cloud embroidery on her sleeve, "where is father right now?"
Xiaochan exclaimed and stomped her feet. "This servant actually forgot to tell Master that you're awake!" For the past few days, because the Old Master was worried about the Young Miss, he stayed in the Residence and did not go to court. "
Chu Nianhe's heart skipped a beat and she headed to the study room.
After passing by the lush birch forest, Chu Nianhe quickly arrived at her father's study, following a path paved with jade-like pebbles.
She was Chu Pingke's most beloved daughter, and she even surpassed her brother, who was also born to her, Chu Yinqin, in her father's heart. Not only because she was naturally beautiful and proficient in music, calligraphy, and painting, but also because she was proficient in the art of war and was an official of the imperial court.
Chu Pingke often said that if she was a man, she would definitely establish a great service and honor the Chu Family, bringing honor to her ancestors.
He recalled his father's tragic death in his previous life … Chu Nianhe's nose twitched as she knocked twice lightly on the door before entering the study room.
Chu Pingke was reading with his head down and did not notice Chu Nianhe standing behind him. Chu Nianhe's heart ached when she saw a few strands of white hair growing from his temples as he bowed with his back.
"Father!" Chu Nianhe's tears dripped down as she kneeled on the ground and cried out sorrowfully, "My daughter is unfilial! Your daughter is unfilial! "
Chu Pingke turned around and was surprised and happy to see her. He quickly helped his daughter up and said, "Nianhe! When did you wake up? "Your body is so weak, yet you still walk around. You should take care of yourself!"
Lili nodded, suppressing her emotions, "Nianhe made father worry. She's really unfilial."
Chu Pingke didn't know that there was another meaning in Chu Nianhe's words. He just assumed that his daughter didn't want him to worry.
He patted his daughter on the shoulder and said, "I didn't inform your mother about this because I was afraid she'd be worried. Now that you're awake, it's good!"
Chu Nianhe wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and said mournfully, "Your daughter will be filial to her parents. I won't worry about you anymore."
"Good!" "Alright!" Chu Pingke smiled lovingly and said, "It's all because of Seventh Prince sacrificing his life to save you that you are able to remain safe and sound. You should go to the palace and thank Seventh Prince another day."
Seventh Prince! Yan Lichen!
The flame in Chu Nianhe's chest once again started to blaze.
"Yes!" She lowered her eyes, hiding the hatred and anger that leaped in them.
When he came out of Chu Pingke's study, the sky had already darkened. Chu Nianhe was about to go back to her yard to eat when she heard a soft voice coming from her side.
"Big sister!"
Not far away, a little girl wearing a golden cape and fur was looking at her with a pair of sparkling eyes. It turned out to be Chu Nianyi, the fourth miss of the mansion, and the daughter of the fifth concubine.
In his previous life, after his mother focused on paying her respects to Buddha, Fifth Aunt's Madam Lin had always been extremely good to her.
Later, after Lili had been confined by Yan Lichen, she had heard Maidservant at court say that she had spoken boldly to Yan Lichen and begged him to forgive her sister.
This caused her to feel a trace of warmth in that cold and desolate abyss.
"Nianyi, come here." Chu Nianhe had always liked this glutinous rice ball like little sister the most. After not seeing her for a long time, she couldn't help but want to pinch her soft little face.
"Big sister, quickly go save my mother," Chu Nianyi said in a tearful voice as she trotted over. "Third Madame wants my mother to kneel on tiles again!"
Chu Nianhe frowned. Since Second Aunt died a long time ago and her mother didn't mind, Third Aunt Madam Su regarded herself as the head mother.
Now that he was acting so arrogantly in the palace and no one cared about him, he was becoming more and more ignorant.
Chu Nianhe asked her, "Why would your mother be punished to kneel?"
Chu Nianyi raised a hand to wipe the tears from her eyes and said in a sobbing tone, "Third Aunt said my mother used an aversion to winning …" Big Sis, what is this technique? "
When Chu Nianhe heard this, she inwardly thought things weren't good.
Not to mention that the Fifth Madame had never had any enmity with anyone in her life, her antics were the most taboo thing in the dynasty, so her father was naturally very wary of her as well.
If Father found out about this earlier …
Chu Nianhe calmed herself down and walked toward Madam Su's courtyard with Nian Yi.
Before he could even enter the courtyard, an eyesore dashed out and screamed at Chu Nianyi, "You little hoof, I was wondering why I couldn't find you. I went to get reinforcements!"
He then looked at Chu Nianhe proudly and said, "I don't know which courtyard you are from, but it won't be that easy for you to enter."
Chu Nianhe had never seen such an insolent woman. With a frown, Xiaochan walked up and ruthlessly slapped her in the face!
The woman did not expect to be beaten, and with an expression of disbelief, she shouted, "You dare to hit me!"
Xiaochan snorted out, "Do you know that the person in front of you is the young miss of Prime Minister's Mansion?! If you still dare to be so presumptuous, it will not be as simple as hitting you! "
That old woman was not afraid at all. She instantly squatted on the ground and started crying loudly, "You hit someone!?" At my age, if I get beaten up by a little girl, I won't live anymore! "
Inside the room, Madam Su was proudly reprimanding her Madam Lin. Hearing the shouts outside the door, she hurriedly came out to see. With a glance, she saw her mother's face was covered with a red five-finger print, lying on the floor and throwing a tantrum.
Madam Su's heart ached and she was angry when she saw her mother's appearance. Why did she cause so much trouble for her when she came to the residence?!
"Eldest Miss!" Madam Su's willowy eyebrows slightly raised, looking charming and enchanting. She did not seem to be in her late twenties at all. "I wonder what business you have in my courtyard?"
As Chu Nianhe walked into her courtyard, she asked, "I heard from Nian Yi that you call Madam Lin the art of hating victory?"
With a glance, she saw Madam Lin kneeling in the front hall, his hair had already been scattered, and his face was slightly swollen.
Madam Su saw that Chu Nianhe seemed to want to speak up for Madam Lin, and thought hatefully to herself: "Since you also want to wade in this muddy water, then die with Madam Lin!"
On the other hand, he said in a very detailed manner: "This morning, the little girl beside Madam Lin came over to report that she was arranging a bed for Madam Lin, and found this under her pillow."
Saying so, Maid handed over a box carved out of rosewood. Two little people with very rough needlework laid inside the box. Surprisingly, the box was filled with silver needles!
Chu Nianhe was secretly shocked, who didn't know, that Noble Consort in the imperial court was reprimanded for taming this villain, causing everyone in the Jinyun City to know about him.
Now that such a thing had appeared in the Chu Mansion, there might be someone who wished to put Madam Lin to death.
Without batting an eyelid, Chu Nianhe picked up the figurine and started scrutinizing it.
Madam Su did not hold back, and without even inviting her to sit down, she turned around and sat in the center of the hall in a chair, using the posture of the owner as she shouted at the Madam Lin: "Today, there is no one who can protect you anymore! If you know what's good for you, you should quickly admit your mistake. I will plead for mercy from my lord and leave your daughter here with an intact corpse! "
