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

(10) Older Sister Hasn't Even Grown up Before Being First to be Married Off

"Cai Cai, is it because you are overthinking it?" Mother Chu thought it was because daughter had just arrived from Mao Village and wasn't used to the new environment, so she would have these thoughts. She couldn't help but to pinch her nose and smilingly say.

Chu Qing-Yan shook her head, her face was all seriousness as she said, "Mom, daughter isn't overthinking things. Just now, daughter heard some clues from Shan Cha's mouth. As a result, daughter felt that something huge must have happened in Chu family."

Mother Chu, having heard what was said, couldn't help but ask, "What kind of huge thing happened in Chu family? What relationship does it have with us?"

Chu Qing-Yan immediately became disheartened, "This is also the area daughter can't understand after much thought."

Mother Chu couldn't help but to smile, and she stroked daughter's long hair, "If you can't understand it after much thought, then don't think about it. Since we have come, we should make ourselves comfortable."

Chu Qing-Yan took a deep breath and, for lack of a better option, could only nod her head.

And at this moment, Daddy Chu shifted over to get closer to them. His huge eyes were opened wide as he slapped his chest to say towards the mother and daughter pair, "Mother Dan, Cai Cai, don't be afraid. I will protect you guys."

Chu Qing-Yan and Mom exchanged a glance, and couldn't help but be amused.

Perhaps because of several days running, her mind was stretched taut, Chu Qing-Yan felt somewhat sleepy. Mother Chu, seeing this, urged her to hurry and return to rest.

When Chu Qing-Yan was about to leave, she took a glance at the place where her parents lived. She secretly decided in her heart, she must fight for the proper treatment her parents ought to have.

Shan Cha felt that since Ninth Miss came out of Eldest Madam's room, her expression seemed to have changed, but she couldn't say what changed. She mulled it over, should she report Ninth Miss's abnormality to Older Sister Chun (1).

Originally, she thought it was hard to fall asleep in an unfamiliar environment, yet unexpectedly, she slept through the entire night, dreamless.

Chu Qing-Yan woke up really early, and Shan Cha had already arranged breakfast on the table and was waiting for her.

She had changed into the brand new clothes Chu family had prepared for her. She sat down on the chair in her fresh and cool clothing.

Shan Cha turned around and was about to call out to Ninth Miss, but was stunned by how she looked right now, all dressed up. It was not because Ninth Miss now had what kind of a devastating beautiful appearance that would startle a celestial being. Rather, it was because yesterday, the clothing Ninth Miss wore returning to the manor was very ugly. It was as if all the radiance on her entire body was covered up. And now, dressed in a charming yellow-colored springy garment that enhanced the skin on her entire body, suddenly, she was changed beyond recognition.

Chu Qing-Yan didn't miss the stunned look in Shan Cha's eyes. She felt somewhat joyous and sad at the same time in her heart. Joyous because a horse depends on the saddle, a person depends on their clothing. She felt sad because if she was still in the modern world, she simply did not need to worry about food and clothing. However, she merely let these thoughts die away in the blink of an eye. After she calmly and quietly finished eating, she then told Shan Cha that she wanted to go out and walk around to familiarize herself with the surroundings.

She took note of Shan Cha's clearly hesitant expression, however afterwards, she still compromised under Chu Qing-Yan's incomparably sincere gaze.

Chu Qing-Yan's expression was one of cheerfulness, but in her heart, she started to rebel and feel apprehensive. When she walked out of the door, she discovered that overnight, a lot of people appeared outside the door to her room. Each and every one of their gazes never left her body, as if she was a prisoner they were guarding. This perception completely bewildered her, but on the surface, she still pretended as if nothing had happened.
