On the morning of the second day, thrush brought Qing Tan here to help Chu Qinghuan wash up. Seeing the astonishment in Second Miss's eyes, thrush quickly explained: "Zhao Zi sent Nanny Lin back yesterday, and when she returned, she caught a cold. I was afraid that Miss would be infected, so I decided to let her rest on her own."

Chu Qinghuan nodded her head, "I'll look for a doctor." Suddenly, she felt a pain in her scalp, and Chu Qinghuan couldn't help but gasp.

Qing Tan who was combing her hair did not know, but her nose slightly wrinkled as if she was sniffing the air, her thrush was arranging her bed and did not notice anything strange, while Chu Qinghuan just lightly smiled without saying a word.

"Miss, this servant has just made some honey incense recently. Miss, would you like to try it?" She kept having the feeling that when she was brewing the honey incense that day, a person had vaguely appeared in her mind. Now, however, she had finally confirmed who that person was.

Qing Tan seemed to not have noticed her absent-mindedness, and only saw Chu Qinghuan's face in the copper mirror and couldn't help but suggest it. Ever since she came to the Zilan Academy, she had been quiet and unknown. After doing all the things that the thrush and Nanny Zhou had told her, she spent most of her time brewing powdered rouge.

Chu Qinghuan did not stop them, but she knew that because of the scented powder, Qing Tan had a good personal relationship with everyone in the Zephyr Guild.

"Why did you think of brewing the nectar incense?" She knew the way to concoct it, but it was extremely complicated. Even she herself only had a fifty to sixty percent chance of success, but she never thought that Qing Tan had actually completed it.

Qing Tan smiled bashfully, "To reply Miss, this servant is just bored."

Qing Tan did not notice that she had said something, but the thrush who was preparing the bed started to sweat for her.

It was so casually modulated and then given to the master? If it was any other master, Qing Tan would have been punished even though she had offered her a fragrant honey. Looking through the sizzling mirror on the bed, the thrush eyed Chu Qinghuan carefully.

"Go get it."

Qing Tan hurriedly nodded after hearing it, and did not care about her own hair that was just half combed.

Upon seeing this, Tou Mei was speechless, she then picked up the mutton fat and started to comb Chu Qinghuan's hair, "Miss, when we get back, I will definitely teach Qing Tan the rules."

The corner of Chu Qinghuan's mouth rose. It seemed like even thrush had been tricked, Qing Tan this girl, was really not simple.

But if it was said that shshewas careless, ordinary people wouldn't be able to smell the scent in the house, but Qing Tan could actually make the incense, so when she was brushing her hair earlier, he probably noticed the oddity, right?

It was rare for a person to know not to speak even if he had to endure.

Seeing that Chu Qinghuan did not speak, and only thought that she had tacitly agreed, Qing Tan quickly walked over with a small bottle of fragrant honey in her hands.

"What scented powder did Second Elder Sister use today? Why did it smell so good?" Chu Jinfu had already moved closer, she hated that she could not lie on Chu Qinghuan's body and take a bite, "It's a little sweet, but I'm not tired of people."

Chu Yunxi's eyes lit up. She liked all kinds of scented oils the most, but when she thought about yesterday's matter, she felt a little embarrassed to take the initiative to ask. Hearing Chu Jinfu's question, she said softly: "Could it be that Second Elder Sister used honey?"

Although Chu Yunxi's voice was soft, it made the few young misses look at Chu Qinghuan. Chu Changxi rolled her eyes, "How is that possible, even the aroma of honey is rare in the palace, two …"

"Fourth Sister has good eyesight, it was concocted by one of my servant girls. If Fourth Sister likes it, I'll have her give you a bottle later."

After all, it was the Old Mistress who had spoken.

Chu Yunxi immediately smiled like a flower, "Then I'll have to thank Second Elder Sister."

Chu Jinxiu could not help but frown. The events from yesterday had happened as she expected, but why did she suddenly change?

Based on Chu Yunxi's character, how could she treat Chu Qinghuan well after getting beaten up by the Madame Chang? Furthermore, Chu Qinghuan was a vengeful person, even if it was Chu Yunxi, she would not show mercy. Why was she acting so intimate now, as though she was her own sister?

How was this possible?

"Second Elder Sister said that she is a servant girl, could she be the Qing Tan in my courtyard?"

Seeing Chu Changxi's anxious face, seemingly wishing for nothing more than to snatch Qing Tan back, Chu Jinfu laughed, "What are you saying, Third Sister? Qing Tan's indenture contract is in the hands of the Second Elder Sister, how can it be the people from Happy Garden? "

Chu Changxi's face immediately turned ugly. Back then, at Lingyin Temple, she was angry at Qing Tan for "taking advantage of the situation" and giving her to Chu Qinghuan. In any case, she would be buried along with her sooner or later, but who would have known that Chu Qinghuan would not succeed in her death?

This is fine, it's just a good-for-nothing maid. But Chu Changxi realized that she didn't know anything about Qingtan's background. She could actually concoct a fragrant honey …

If the aroma was used on him, even Chu Jinxiu would not be able to compare to him! Thinking about it, Chu Changxi's face became even uglier.

"Qing Tan is used to it. At that time …"

"Ladies and gentlemen, Old Mistress is a little tired and hasn't gotten up yet. This servant will decide for herself, the ladies should go back first." The Nanny Lin interrupted Chu Jinxiu and his gaze fell on Chu Yunxi's body.

She then brought up Qing Tan's matter that would arouse suspicion, Chu Jinxiu threw that topic away: "What happened to Old Mistress's body? Would you like a doctor to take a look? " Her face was full of concern, and it did not seem like she was lying. Nanny Lin could not help but exclaim.

If she did not know that her eldest miss' words had stirred up the relationship between Second Miss and herself, how could she have known that such a beautiful woman with a natural beauty would be so scheming and unfathomable?

"Young Master Yun came to see Old Mistress early in the morning. There are no major problems, I will be fine after a little more sleep.

The Nanny Lin was neither humble nor arrogant, Chu Jinxiu knew that she could not get any further information out of this old thing, so she stood up and said: "Since that's the case, then we should not disturb your rest."

Chu Jinfu was a little worried and did not want to leave, but this time, Nanny Lin did not have the slightest hesitation, "Fifth miss, Old Mistress just slept, you should come back in the afternoon."

Almost brought up by the Nanny Lin, Chu Jinfu looked inside with worry. In the end, she still pulled Chu Qinghuan and left, but they were still worried about him in their hearts, "Second Elder Sister, wasn't our previous grandmother still fine? "Why is it like this today?"

Chu Qinghuan was also confused, everyone knew that Old Mistress told him to come to Pear Fragrance Garden for dinner, and early in the morning the next day, she suddenly went to meet all the young misses who did not bother him, if news of this spread, wouldn't it cause others to think it was because of him?

Old Mistress had been smart her entire life, how could she be so foolish? Wasn't he afraid that she would really take revenge on Chu Yunxi by forcing him into a corner?

"Zhao Fen went to ask, we'll know in a while."

As expected, the moment the two of them went out, Zhao Fen rushed over, "They said that they came to Second Wife last night and only returned after a long time.

"Can aunty even make Grandmother angry?" Chu Jinfu was unclear about the cause and effect, and could not help but to exclaim out loud. However, Chu Yunxi, who was beside the two of them, had a change in expression.

Had his mother come to the Pear Fragrance Garden to plead for him?

Seeing Chu Yunxi's strange expression, Chu Qinghuan laughed in her heart, so Chu Yunxi was not stupid, and she even knew for whom did Old Mistress's "illness" come from.

"It's probably because of the Third Brother's marriage. It's really cold outside, you should hurry back and rest."

With fox fur clothing, Chu Jinfu looked like a blissful child. Her entire body was furry, but compared to her beautiful appearance before, she was more adorable.

"Going back is boring. I might as well go to Second Elder Sister and eat some tea and read some books. Second Elder Sister, you can't be hating me, right?" Chu Jinfu asked mischievously, looking just like a cunning little fox.

Chu Qinghuan laughed helplessly, "Alright, let's see if I can stop your small mouth after drinking so much tea."

Seeing Chu Qinghuan and Chu Jinfu's deep affection for each other, Chu Yunxi, who was standing at the side, did not understand why a person who had such a high opinion of the Fifth Sister would willingly be together with him.

Even though she only called Chu Qinghuan her big sister, she still addressed him as "Second Elder Sister". She was more like a sister than a sister who came from a womb.

Looking at the dazed Chu Yunxi, Chu Jinfu asked: "What is Fourth Sister thinking? It would be better for you to come with me to eat and drink at Second Elder Sister's place. Don't worry, Second Elder Sister is very rich, we won't be able to afford it. "

Chu Yunxi forced out a smile and was about to refuse, but after thinking about the earnest words her mother said last night, she still agreed, "Alright, as long as Second Elder Sister doesn't mind … "I'm fine."

"How could that be?" Chu Jinfu did not understand, but held both of their hands and said, "Fourth Sister is so gentle and kind, Second Elder Sister would definitely not dislike you."

If it came to this, Chu Qinghuan would not know what Chu Jinfu's intentions were and would have been useless.

She had even said how Chu Jinfu could not have known about what had happened yesterday. She had only pretended that she did not know and wanted to use this opportunity to persuade them.

"Yeah, Fourth Sister is overthinking it." Chu Qinghuan said indifferently, at the side, Chu Jinfu felt that she finally did not fail her mission, and heaved a sigh of relief, Chu Yunxi's face also revealed a faint smile, as though she had been relieved of a heavy burden.

However, before they even returned to the courtyard, they could already hear the clamor coming from inside.

Chu Qinghuan could not help but frown. The people of the Zilan Academy had always been very well-behaved and never made a ruckus, so the Madame Song wanted to grab hold of his weakness but she couldn't do anything about it.

"Third Miss, please let go …"

Chu Qinghuan's soft and weak voice transmitted over, causing the space between her eyebrows to loosen slightly. She asked what was going on, but it turned out to be Chu Changxi who had come to cause trouble.

"You're my servant girl. Did you forget my old kindness when you found a new master?"

Chu Changxi never thought that she would actually disagree after she returned to find Qing Tan. She really had the guts to eat him up, did she really think that she wouldn't dare to do anything to her?

"Third Sister, if you have something to say, then say it. Chu Jinxiu stood at the side and spoke, but did not have any intention of stopping them.

She did not care about Chu Qinghuan's sweet smell, but was glad to see that Chu Qinghuan would lose her reputation. She did not expect that she would lose her hand against him, causing Chu Jinxiu to be furious.

When Chu Changxi heard this, she immediately let go of her hand. She was caught off guard and fell backwards, thinking that she could make contact with the stone floor intimately, but an arm wrapped around his waist, firmly supporting her. That cool voice was beside her ears, but it was an indescribable warmth.

"Be careful, if you break your skin, won't you suffer?"

's expression was excited, but in the end, he stood behind Chu Qinghuan.

Chu Changxi never thought that Chu Qinghuan would actually return so suddenly, a look of awkwardness flashed across her face, but she quickly said with a smile: "Second Elder Sister, you said that Qing Tan left my place at the very least, but now that I let her go back and take a look, I am displeased.

"Third Sister, don't talk about formalities!" Chu Jinxiu was slightly angered and she couldn't help but keep quiet. She looked at Qing Tan with contempt, as if her one word or gaze could determine Qing Tan's future.
