Ghostly Masked Prince Xiao: Pampering and Spoiling the Little Adorable Consort

(4) Making It Difficult For a Weak Mother and a Foolish Father

Seeing these two people remain silent, the tall and thin man was immediately dissatisfied. He clenched the reins, hoisted up the horsewhip to scare them and said, "Hey, in the end, do you guys know this person or not?"

At this time, Daddy Chu slowly stood up, putting the rope in his hand behind his back. He wanted to imitate Landlord Li stroking his beard, but he didn't have a beard. He could only stroke his chin, then making a show of being serious, said, "May I ask what matter do you people have, to seek this humble person?"

Chu Qing-Yan was on the side, and couldn't help but want to clap her hands and cheer. Daddy's imitation was really like Landlord Li!

"What, you, you are Chu Huai-Yuan? Wasn't it said that you are an idiot?" The tall and thin man stared until his eyeballs nearly fell out.

Having heard what was said, Chu Qing-Yan immediately narrowed her eyes. This person spoke without some degree of respect, with his dog eyes looking down on people. He also spoke words of slander, seems like he came without good intent.

"Cai Cai, is Daddy's acting good?" Father Chu turned around to ask his daughter while smiling happily.

The tall and thin man originally was immersed in shock, now, seeing Father Chu grab the little doll-like girl's hand and jumping a meter high, he couldn't help but be enraged. This idiot actually toyed with him for fun!

Chu Qing-Yan saw the man getting angry and about to flare up, and she took the lead to step out, "My father is Chu Huai-Yuan, don't know what matter you people have to seek us?"

With her reminder and also a burst of urging sounds coming from the horse carriage not far away. The tall and thin man recalled the real business he was here for. In a great rush, he put away his angry expression.

As a result, inside Chu family's thatched cottage, it welcomed a group of unexpected guests.

"Eldest Master (1), Eldest Madam (1), this old woman's last name is Li. This is Wang Ting, the two of us are both servants under the Second Madam. Because recently, Elder Chu longed to see Eldest Chu's whole family, so the Second Madam especially appointed this old woman and Wang Ting to come to Mao village, specifically to ask you all to come back to Chu family." The old woman had a mole at the corner of her mouth and was about thirty years old, with mouth opened, exposing yellow-colored incisors. She said it very fluently.

"This——"Mother Chu looked at this group of people bewilderedly and with uncertainty. As if meat pies were falling from the sky, but also with disbelief.

Chu Qing-Yan looked at the old woman that spoke. That woman's eyeballs roved around, fingers continuously wringing that handkerchief, as if saying thing she didn't mean it. Or perhaps to say that she was just being perfunctory. Chu Qing-Yan couldn't help but to narrow her eyes. This Elder Chu (3) didn't think of this earlier or later, but only came to pick up people after ten years. This unaccountable, solicitous person was definitely hiding evil intentions. However, she turned around to see that Mother's expression seemed to be somewhat happy. She clearly understood, it might be assumed that Mother also had the thought of returning.

Seeing Mother Chu hesitating, Old Woman Li glanced at Wang Ting. Wang Ting immediately understood and took a step forward, saying to Mother Chu, "Eldest Madam, you and Eldest Master living here is really too difficult. Look at this room, it could be described as a room with four bare walls. How could it give Ninth Miss a stable life? Our Madam said that as long as your family of three returns with us, all of you will be able to enjoy high position and great wealth. You don't have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your lives."

Chu Qing-Yan stared at Wang Ting and his insincere speech. When he said the last sentence, his tone even seemed to float up. Just hearing it, you could tell that these were empty words. Before, when she was in the student union, she had recruited administrators for several class years. With regards to seeing through people, she was rather insightful. Therefore, it might be assumed that these two people came to swindle them.
