Chapter 157

The sun rises and the noise of carriages and horses rustles.

People coming in and out of the Suicheng city gate can be seen from a distance, but when you get closer, there are still so many people, as if they won't calm down for a while.

Fortunately, the palace's carriage can go first, so there is no need to wait.

An Xiu handed the confused and blind child to the servants to take care of her, and then took her to the palace.

Going out of this door and into that door, the child always thought he was still on the street, but in fact he was already in the palace.

An Xiu handed her over to a servant he had just called over and said, "Take her to the Yanchi Mountain House to wait."

Then he said to her, "I'm going to see the prince. I'll come to see you later. You must behave yourself. Don't cause trouble, don't run around, don't talk too much, and don't talk back or fight with others. Remember?"

His expression as he spoke was completely different from usual, extremely serious. The child also became nervous and nodded, saying, "I remember."

"Go."

He gently pushed the child on the back, and the child followed his force and walked towards the servant.

Although his head was as confused as a pot of porridge, the child really remembered his words this time.

No matter how many strange and unreasonable things he saw on the road, he never asked any questions and just followed the servant obediently.

At first, he would look back at her from time to time, but later, perhaps because he felt relieved, he stopped looking at her.

Little did they know that the child was just walking obediently, but his eyes were not honest at all. Sometimes he looked at the sisters and maids who were wearing beautiful clothes, and sometimes he looked at the servants.

What interested her most were probably the sword-wielding guards who followed the two young masters and were dressed in very smart attire.

"Don't look around," the servant turned his head and whispered, "Those are the young masters of the mansion. They have bad tempers. If you provoke them, a beating will be the least of your worries. Go away."

He sounded like he meant well, but it didn't sound good.

Ever since he met the young masters of the aristocratic families with the surname Cui, the child has hated the word "young master" with deep hatred. He thinks that anyone with this word and a bad temper is a bastard.

Not to mention not letting her watch it, even if you let her watch it, she wouldn't want to watch it.

The child immediately agreed: "Okay."

Then he raised his foot and walked away.

After a while, they finally arrived at the so-called Yanchi Mountain House. When the children saw the scenery here, they probably understood what these words meant.

There is a pond with wild geese and a house built on the side of the mountain, together they are called Yanchi Mountain House.

There is actually a mountain in the palace...

The kids really couldn't fathom how big the place was.

Moreover, this so-called Yanchi Mountain House actually looks like a home, with white walls and green tiles, a gate and a wall, and it looks quite spacious inside.

The servant led her in, and the child saw a row of houses beside the door, with side rooms on the left, corridors and pavilions on the right, and a two-story building in the middle.

There is also a fish tank in the courtyard.

Ordinary families can't compare to Yanchi Mountain Villa.

The child heard someone talking in the house. There were several people standing or sitting in the corridor at the door. It was not cold here, but they had two braziers at their feet, and they didn't seem to care how much charcoal it would waste.

They were dressed better than the servants who brought the children, and their status was probably higher.

The child clearly saw that the boy paused when he saw them, and almost fell back to where he was. But he still took a deep breath and stepped in. When he reached a place a little closer to the water tank, he turned his head and said to her, "Wait here for a moment."

His voice was small, and the child replied in an equally small voice, "Okay."

Then he took a deep breath, forced a smile, and cautiously stepped forward to greet them, "Hello, brothers. Excuse me, which master is here?"

When the child saw him talking, those people either ignored him or squinted their eyes and glanced at him sideways, as if they didn't take him seriously. After he finished speaking, they stood there awkwardly for a long time before someone said, "You'll know if you go in and take a look. No one's stopping you, so why bother asking us? This isn't our place."

They laughed together, but the sound was not loud.

The boy looked a little embarrassed, not knowing how to respond. He said "Yes, yes..." twice before coming out.

"It's a pity to disturb you."

He turned around and ran towards the child in a panic, like a dog that had fallen and was running away with its tail between its legs.

He whispered, "Go, go, go, go quickly."

The child looked at those people who were still smiling in confusion, and didn't think there was anything scary about them, but he had no choice but to follow him out.

The slightly cool wind outside made his face wrinkle. He looked around but didn't have the courage to go in.

The child knew she had already promised not to talk too much, but at this moment he still wanted to ask, "Shall we just stand here and wait?"

His face wrinkled even more: "This...Right Chief Secretary doesn't mean this."

The child also thought that it was not the case. She hadn't caused any trouble today, so there was no reason for her to be blown by the wind. But seeing his expression, she still said considerately: "I'll wait here. We can still see the geese."

"That won't do. If someone sees us, they might ask questions." He shook his head.

Child: "How about we wait in the yard?"

"That's even more impossible. You don't know that this place is occasionally used by the adults in the mansion to rest and entertain guests. It doesn't belong to them..."

He mumbled and didn't speak clearly.

The children were all worried for him when they heard this: "This won't work, that won't work either. How about I go in and find a place to sit by myself, and you can go back. Didn't they say they didn't stop us?"

"Ah! That's even worse!" He raised his voice a little, which didn't scare the child, but made him shrug. This scare seemed to make him pay attention. "Yes, yes, come with me and wait in the back room."

The child then realized that the two rows of houses next to the door were called back houses.

He led the child in, and his expression still looked conflicted.

The child heard the group laughing again, and this time someone seemed to ask, "What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing, a servant and a little girl were afraid to come in, so they hid over there."

"Oh, what are they doing here?"

"I don't know. That kid seemed to have a ball of cotton in his mouth, and his words were unclear."

They were clearly being laughed at, but now they were speaking as if they were being innocent.

The man said, "Go ask."

Then there were footsteps coming, and the boy seemed to have heard them as well, his eyes widened. If he were a cat, all the cat stuff on his body would have exploded by now.

The door creaked open.

A narrow-eyed man asked, "Hey, what are you doing here?"

Seeing that the servant was almost trembling, the child could no longer bear it and simply answered for him: "It was Master An who sent us here. He told me to wait for him here and come find me after he saw the prince."

"Which Lord An?"

"Are there many Ans here?" The child thought for a moment and explained in more detail, "It's the Right Chief Secretary, and An Xiu is Anshang."

The man with narrow eyes narrowed his eyes, almost to a slit, but he used that slit to scan the child from head to toe, then turned and left without even closing the door.

It was just right that the child could vaguely hear someone in the other room talking about her——

"An Xiu Ze? Ah, it's time for him to come back."

"Who is that little girl?"

"I know. I heard it was a crazy alien. He felt sorry for him, so he brought him back."

"They really are bringing everyone into the mansion."

"That's perfect. Let her come and take a look. Let us also see what's different about these strange people."
