  Chapter 12: The Cost

  Zhu Yuhuan lifted the curtain to take a look and saw that the horse carriage had already arrived at the gate of the Lan Mansion. Unfortunately, he saw another horse carriage parked at the entrance, but it was not waiting for anyone, nor was there even a coachman around, it was just parked alone at the gate.

  "Hey, there's a car stopped at our gate. Is it going to leave now?" He didn't turn his head and asked Lan Zixun while looking outside.

  "Blue Orchid hastily grabbed his arm, "No, no, no! I'm not going down here! Let's go out the side door we used last time when we left our house!" I'll enter from that door."

  Zhu Yanhuan nodded and said to the car driver, "Go around to the back." He then turned his head and came in. "Is that you I saw that one time?"

  Lan Zhi nodded with a silly smile, and said "yes" when she saw my seventh sister staring at me with wide eyes... I knew something was up at that time!

  Zhu Yuhuan hummed and turned his head away, ignoring her.

  Lan Zhi Xun's curiosity was piqued, and with a smiling face, she asked Zhu Yue Huan, "Everyone says that my seventh sister is very beautiful... they all went to propose to her first, why didn't you agree?"

  Zhu Yanhuan's face sank as he said, "How old are you?"

  "What?" Lan Zhi was taken aback by the sudden question.

  "Hey, I'm only 7 or 8 years older than you, can't you just call me 'Fifth Brother' or 'Fifth Master'? Why are you so stubborn and keep calling me by my name? Don't you have any manners?"

  Lan Zhi's body swayed back and forth as she smiled with her tongue out.

  The horse carriage stopped at the side gate, Zhu Yuhuan turned around and jumped off first, looked back and saw that the little maid was still walking far behind with her short legs. He shook his head and lifted the curtain to say to Lan Zixu "Come out".

  "Is anyone not skipping characters."

  Zhu Yuhuan looked at the door again and said, "There's no one there."

  Lan Zixun smiled and came out, sitting on the edge of the carriage preparing to jump down. As she sat down, she asked Zhu Yuhuan, "I really want to know, why didn't you agree to my seventh sister's marriage? If I had agreed, I would have become her brother-in-law. Such a good person as my sister's husband is actually quite good. In the future, if I need help, I can still ask for it."

  Zhu Yuhuan stretched out his hand and poked her forehead again, "You're thinking beautifully!"

  This time he used a bit more force, the blue quilt was poked by him and fell backwards, shouting "Ah! Hold me tight!"

  Zhu Yuhuan saw that she was about to fall and had already stretched out his hand to pull her, one hand grasping her arm, and was teased by her cry of surprise, "Haha" laughed and said that she reacted quickly...

  Lan Zhi finally sat down, complaining, "Why did you use so much force? My forehead hurts... This person is really stubborn! My seventh sister is so good, but not willing to admit it..."

  Zhu Yuhuan leaned against the car door frame, just blocking her way. He looked at her with a hint of a smile and said, "!!"

  Lan Zhi quickly shook her head and said "No, no!" She pushed him away and told me to get down.

  Zhu Yuhuan stretched out his finger to tap her forehead again, and just as he was about to touch it, her forehead really turned red where he had pressed. On her fair and delicate skin, a clear fingerprint remained! He subconsciously changed the tap to a rub, rubbing away the evidence with his hand, baring his white teeth at her with an evil expression: "If you dare mention that again, I won't let you off easy!"

  "I don't dare, I really don't dare anymore." Lan Zhi said with a careless laugh, but it was clear that what she was thinking in her heart was not so simple. She laughed and told me to go down."

  Zhu Yuhuan looked at the little maid who was panting and walking towards this side not far behind the carriage, and said, "Wait a minute, little maid. The two of you can't enter together?"

  Lan Zhi sat in the car and turned her body to look back, "Hasn't he come yet?!"

  That maid was still a bit far away, she leaned out of the carriage and almost fell off, luckily Zhu Yuhuan caught her in time.

  Lan Zhi was so scared that she quickly patted her chest and let out a startled cry! Her face looked like that of a frightened child.

  Zhu Yi Huan couldn't help but shake his head, "Can't you find a slightly bigger maid to follow her? That little kid, is she taking care of the maid or is the maid taking care of her?" He pointed at the short-legged, chubby maid who was now panting as she walked.

  Lan Zhi said as soon as she heard it, shaking her head. "Yuer and I are the best! No one is better than us two!"

  "Zhu Yan Huan burst out laughing, 'You little kid!' He waited for a while, then suddenly remembered and asked, 'Right, big brother... what kind of person is he? Is his temper not very good?'"

  As soon as he mentioned his brother, Lan Zhi's face showed a look of shock and fear, she shrunk her neck and said "he's scary, especially scary... I'm really afraid of him..." As she spoke, she subconsciously glanced at the side door, as if she was afraid that her brother would suddenly pop out from there.

  Zhu Yuhuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Is that... quite vengeful?"

  Lan Zhi thought for a moment, nodded and said "Anyway, whoever provokes him will have to give in, he has to vent his anger." She remembered something and pouted, saying "In May, he took a concubine. The concubine came to me and said she liked the handkerchief I embroidered, so I gave her one. As a result, my sister-in-law was unhappy and told my brother that I didn't respect her, and my brother scolded me for a whole day!"

  "She grumbled unhappily about what was going on in their house, why drag me into it!"

  Zhu Yuhuan is gone, and I'm left thinking that Lao Da isn't just hot-tempered, but also doesn't distinguish right from wrong. He quarrels with his wife, yet he goes to scold the innocent. It seems like there's no day when he'll turn enemies into friends.

  He sighed and saw that the maid had finally walked up to the carriage, then said, "Let's go." As he spoke, he stepped aside.

  Lan Zhi saw that he had finally let go, and only then did she jump off the car. Zhu Yuhuan subconsciously stretched out his hand to support her again, saying softly, "Slow down."

  Lan Zhi smiled and bowed to him, "Thank you for seeing me off, Zhu Yuhuan!"

  Zhu Yan Huan was taken aback by her solemn bow, and was stunned for a moment. When he heard her call out his name in full, he felt both annoyed and amused, saying "Hurry up!"

  The little maid, Lan Zhi, smiled and looked at the side door with a smile, the two of them went to the side door together, Zhu Yuhuan smiled as she entered the door, turned her head and bowed again, ran in, and then got on the carriage and ordered "Let's go!"

  His carriage is gone too.

  Zhu Yuhuan didn't expect that the person sitting in the carriage he had just seen at the entrance of the Lan Mansion was actually Lan Zixiang! Lan Zixiang was waiting for her maid to come out and leave with her, but the coachman was still waiting at the corner because the maid hadn't arrived yet.

  When Zhu Yuhuan stuck his head out to look, Lan Qixiang saw him in the carriage at a glance! Seeing that he had arrived at the gate of the mansion, Lan Qixiang was very surprised. The matter between them had already ended, and Zhu Yuhuan... would have nothing to do with her from now on!

  She couldn't help but feel curious, seeing that his carriage didn't stop in front of the gate, but instead went around to the side door. She quickly stuck her head out and quietly called to the coachman, instructing him to follow, stopping at the corner where she sat in the carriage watching Zhu Yuhuan.

  When she saw that the one who came out of Zhu Yuhuan's carriage was actually Jiumei, Lan Cixian was so shocked that she almost cried out! She stretched out her hand to cover her mouth, staring at them with a pair of big eyes in shock.

  She saw Zhu Yuhuan reach out to affectionately touch the forehead of Jiu Mei, as if... as if they were so intimate and natural with each other! Then she saw him hold her hand and smile happily, Jiu Mei looked up at him with a face full of playful annoyance, he... he leaned against the carriage, for an instant, looking languid and charming!

  Lan Zhi Xiang's heart stopped beating, her nose felt sour and astringent, but her eyes grew wider and wider! She stared at the two people on that side with wide eyes...

  She saw with her own eyes that Zhu Yuhuan gently rubbed Jiumei's forehead with his hand, smiling at the corner of his mouth as he looked at Jiumei... Her tears finally fell uncontrollably, a sob echoed in her throat, she hastily covered her mouth with force, her trembling hands holding a handkerchief hastily wiping away her tears, wanting to see clearly again...

  Two people not far away seemed to be still talking, both with a smile on their faces. Lan Zixi's heart was like a knife, watching Jiumei say goodbye to him, watching Zhu Yuhuan stare at Jiumei as she entered the mansion gate, before finally sitting in the carriage and leaving with a sigh of relief. She finally lowered her head, covering her mouth and bursting into tears...

  ……

  The Chu Mansion.

  Zhu Yichan wandered aimlessly in the courtyard, seemingly searching for Zhu Yihuan, but actually trying to test his luck. It would be great if he could bump into Chu Keqian. Little did he know, Chu Keqian was already on the embroidery building, having seen him wandering around that courtyard earlier.

  Smiling as he turned the eighth lap, Chu Kei finally went downstairs and out the door. Nowadays, the old lady is bedridden, and Chu Gao's servant is attending to her. With fewer people watching this side, she saw Zhu Yucheng like a headless fly, wanting to see him, thinking about it for a while before deciding to go in a straightforward manner.

  Coming to this side of the garden, I saw Zhu Yuchen still standing on the corridor of the garden, and coughed with a smile.

  Zhu Yichan heard her laughter, his whole body suddenly became alert, and he turned around abruptly. The smile that walked towards him was not the one he had been thinking about day and night, Ke'er. Who was it?!

  He was overjoyed and hastily went forward calling out "Keke!"

  "Second brother..." Chu Ke looked at him with unbridled joy, and couldn't help but blush slightly. When he walked up to her, she whispered, "You're here again? Looking for... brother?" She turned her head to look back, and the maid, seeing the two of them approaching, tactfully stood under the corridor.

  Zhu Yicheng nodded, "en" a sound, but did not, just looking at her happy smile, a bit silly. (If you like this work, welcome to subscribe and reward on Starting Point Website, your support is my greatest motivation.)
