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

(15) Unfavorable Time to Graduate and Met Being Plotted Against

The days passed, one by one. The entire Chu family was urgently and secretly preparing for Elder Chu's seventy years old huge birthday celebration.

If this was set in previous years, it simply wouldn't be this bustling and lively. Only, because the little Miss was bestowed marriage to Prince Ying, in passing, they received the benefit from this light. Normally, those high officials and nobles basically won't come to Chu Manor, now every one of them had sent an invitation card. They wanted to climb onto Chu family's new connection to royalty, this all of a sudden lit up Chu family's prestige. As a result, Elder Chu, with a wave of his hand, ordered this time's birthday feast to be arranged without restraint.

But also because of this reason, Chu Qing-Yan saw the certainty of this opportunity. Because she knew, on the day of the birthday feast, the entire Chu manor would certainly see an endless stream of horses and carriages. At that time, the chance of her and her parents slipping away would be greatly increased.

On the surface, Chu Qing-Yan seemed calm, in fact, her heart had gradually become impatient with the approach of time. She was looking forward to it, at the same time, slightly afraid, from the curiosity of the dreaded unknown.

However, fortunately, she was only a child, no one would notice her change in mood. Only, she could feel that the people guarding her courtyard seemed slowly to become more relaxed. She guessed that it ought to be because tomorrow was Elder Chu's seventy years old huge birthday feast. There wasn't enough manpower, so they were all transferred.

Even though this was what she thought, however, Chu Qing-Yan's heart felt faintly uneasy.

She lifted her head to look at the gradually darkening night, her heart had a feeling of wrongness that was unable to be clearly described. However, tomorrow was the opportunity for them to escape, no matter what unforeseen event occurred, nothing would change her resolve.

Consequently, she carried a bag on her back, and stealthily opened the window. She waited until there was no one around, stepped on a chair and, with great effort, climbed out. Tonight, she still couldn't escape, but she must deliver these disguises and clothing she had prepare these days to her parents' room. Otherwise tomorrow, there might not be enough time to wear it.

What Chu Qing-Yan didn't know was that when she left in the dark, a person hidden in the corner revealed a smile that harbored ill design. Afterwards, this person followed furtively.

"Honorable Fire Spirit, the little Miss from Chu family is being followed by someone." The black-dressed person on the roof looked at the group of people on the ground, and couldn't help but to report this to the person in front of him.

"What does it have to do with me?" Fire Spirit lowered his head to look at the little shadow traveling back and forth on the small path, revealing a disdainful expression.

A drop of cold sweat emerged from the black-dressed person's forehead. Honorable Fire Spirit, are you certain you are here to protect the little Miss from Chu family. Clearly, you promised the honorable Water Spirit that you would protect her well. Only then did the honorable Water Spirit allow you to come over to Chu family tonight. If there was a slip-up, I reckon honorable Water Spirit would cut your corpse into pieces!

As if he had sensed the strange expression from the subordinate, only then did Fire Spirit return to his senses. He actually went as far as to say what his true feelings were. He lightly coughed twice, then gave an order. "Chu Family's little Miss seems to be in danger, we should quickly follow and have a look!"

Another drop of cold sweat emerged from the black-dressed person's forehead. Honorable Fire Spirit's speed at changing his face was really too fast!
