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

(14) To Scout out Chu Family's Old Friends at Night

"Cai Cai, quickly tell us what is your idea?" Mother Chu's face was full of being pleasantly surprised, she couldn't help but pull at daughter's hand and smilingly ask. Daddy Chu felt the whole family's elation and also pulled daughter's hand, waving it around.

Chu Qing-Yan was infected by her parents, so her mood became joyful. But very quickly, she calmed down, cautiously looked left, then right. After she was certain no one was eavesdropping, she leaned close to mother's ear and said in a low voice.

"Mom, isn't Great Uncle's seventieth birthday celebration in a few days? At that time, the manor will be very bustling and lively, with gifts and food materials coming and going. We'll take advantage of this chaos to escape from the back door. Daughter already found several sets of male and female servant clothing, after dressed up in that disguise, we won't be discovered."

Mother Chu's pair of eyes lit up after hearing what was said, she immediately nodded, only, she was still somewhat worried, "This idea is good, only, don't know if it will be this smooth when the time comes."

Chu Qing-Yan smiled faintly, "Mom, if we don't try, how will we know whether it will go smoothly or not? As long as there is a chance, there will be hope. Moreover, the current situation is already the worst. Would being captured be worse than how bad it is right now? Chu family needs me to become their scapegoat, they would not dare to move against me rashly. Unless they are willing to part with their delicate-as-flowers and refined-as-jade daughters and push them into the tiger's den."

Hearing daughter's solemn words, Mother Chu's heart finally relaxed a little. Only, looking at her clever and sensible daughter, a burst of sadness once again rushed out from Mother Chu's heart. She lifted a hand to lightly caress daughter's cheeks that had slowly already become fairer and tenderly said, "It's because mother is useless. A girl at your age should live a life that is carefree and without worries, and not to be drawn into this kind of crisis. Worrying about everything day and night, when his Highness Prince Ying was young, he wasn't like this. Afterwards, don't know what happened to cause the news and comments nowadays to be this bad. Mother also wouldn't dare to let you face this danger if mother was able to protect you, you would unlikely have to eat this bitter hardship!"

Chu Qing-Yan knew Mother was once again blaming herself, she grinned and smiled while shaking her head, "Mom, life is just like this, not to oppress one person, it would feel uncomfortable. Moreover, daughter never felt that this kind of life isn't good. Having riches and honor also might be trapped and distressed. All of this is not important. The most important thing is that our family is together."

Daughter was so sensible, Mother Chu was full of gratitude.

Daddy Chu lifted a hand to wipe away the tears at the corner of Mother Chu's eyes. He said in a deadly earnest manner, "Mother Dan, you mustn't be anxious. If someone was to bully you guys, I will certainly not let them off! I am the mighty great tiger! Awoo——"

"Pfft——"

Chu Qing-Yan and Mother laughed so hard that they rolled together into a ball. Don't know why, everytime, in the most serious setting, her daddy always had the ability to make people laugh.

After probing out more details with each other, and after deciding on the time to escape, Chu Qing-Yan then softly and quietly left the room. She walked towards her own little courtyard.

Fire Spirit glared at Chu Qing-Yan, furiously whispering, "This little girl doll is too undiscriminating. She actually dares to flee this marriage?"

Water Spirit watched with great relish, upon hearing what Fire Spirit said, she couldn't help but to shoot him a glare, "You didn't sense that this little girl doll's age is young but handles matters with tidiness. Her thoughts are meticulous, completely unlike a ten-year-old child. I think as long as she was further cultivated, suppose after a time, her prospects would be limitless and immeasurable!"
