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

(6) Unclear Future Prospects Makes it Hard for The Heart to Feel Secure

Without stopping for rest, they journeyed for half a month. Chu Qing-Yan felt as if her whole body was about to scatter from being jolted by the horse carriage. Mother also lightly hammered at her shoulder from time to time. Fortunately, Daddy felt that being jolted to and fro was very fun, his entire person bounced about vivaciously and didn't seem to ever be exhausted.

Only, Chu Qing-Yan's heart had some faint uneasiness. This Old Woman Li and group made all haste through the wind and rain, not even stopping to rest. They drove towards the Capital as if their lives depended on it. This made her feel somewhat incredulous, as if she and her parents weren't being picked up to be reunited with Chu family. Rather, they were being rushed to the Manor for a banquet set up to murder them, this thought made her tremble from head to toe.

Just at this time, the horse carriage came to a stop. Chu Qing-Yan raised an eyebrow in puzzlement. Immediately after, she heard the sound of horse's hooves approaching. Chu Qing-Yan lifted up the window curtain in the carriage, only seeing Wang Ting sitting straight up on the horse. When he saw her head stretching out to explore, he immediately said, "Ninth Miss, today, after going over this mountain top, we'll arrive at the Capital. This servant came to tell you this."

Chu Qing-Yan nodded her head, following which she let the curtain down.

Wang Ting saw that this Ninth Miss always treated people coldly and distantly with very few words. Before, he thought that this was because this little girl from the countryside didn't understand etiquette. However, in this short time of coming into contact with her, he discovered that the Ninth Miss didn't say much, but every time she spoke, she always hit the nail on the head. Knowing when to advance or retreat was more appropriate, really didn't seem like a person who grew up in the wild mountains and fields. Using that action from just now as an example, although she didn't say anything, that bright and cold gaze already made him, a person who was a servant for more than 20 years, feel a slight fear. Wang Ting thought about it, although Ninth Miss's entire family returning to Chu family could be said to be inauspicious, however. because this was what was called extreme sorrow turns into joy, maybe the Ninth Miss could fly to the top of the branches to become a phoenix (1). He should not be as rude as before, in any case, it's not like he would lose a chunk of meat for being a bit more polite. Just in case, when the time came, he could ride on her success and could also ask for a good job.

As a result, Wang Ting decided, he wouldn't be like Old Woman Li who was polite on the surface but secretly disdainful of this whole family.

Chu Qing-Yan didn't know that the careless action she revealed would bring about this kind of result. Although, following this, Wang Ting was a lot more attentive to her, making her somewhat suspicious. But all of her attention was focused on them about to arrive tomorrow to meet the family.

At that time, when Daddy became a soldier, going to war to bring honor to his family. They regarded Daddy as a hero in the family. However, when Daddy lost the war and was subjected to the censure of the common people, they didn't stand in front of Daddy to protect him. Instead, they drove Daddy who was seriously injured out of Chu family, even driving out her delicate mother and the her who was not even two month old.

This was called 'it's easy to add flowers to something already decorated perfectly. but difficult to find someone to provide help in one's hour of need'.

Chu Qing-Yan withdrew from her train of thought and turned around to look at her tired and napping mother and her daddy with his eyes opened wide. She couldn't help but to stop Daddy's hand that was just about to pull at mother's hair. Her expression became fierce to scare him and said.

"Daddy, Mother is tired, if you wake her up, then daughter will ignore you from now on."

Daddy Chu immediately retracted his hand and spit his tongue at his own daughter. Afterwards, he obediently sat there properly, a face full of innocence as he looked at her, "Cai Cai, just now, that large horse face said very soon, we'll arrive at the Capital. Isn't it saying that very quickly, I'll be able to see the inserted in backwards scallion?"
