When Chu Qing-Yan exited the door, she saw daddy squatted down at the side, and sitting in front of him was a shabbily dressed white haired old man. His face was covered with mud and also the clothes on his body. One piece of mud on the east then another on the west, you couldn't see the original shape of the clothes.

Bai Hu was standing on the side, and when he saw the little consort come out, he respectfully said. "Little consort, this person is that old beggar that refused to leave."

Chu Qing-Yan nodded. "You first withdraw to be busy with your own tasks!"

Bai Hu acknowledged and withdrew.

When she first entered the manor, this Bai Hu did many thing to make her look incompetent. But these days maybe after seeing the direction of the wind changing, he became more respectful to her. Now when he handled matters, she couldn't pick out any wrong. It could be he was afraid she would seize the opportunity to raise difficult questions. Chu Qing-Yan rolled her eyes. She didn't have the idle time to retaliate against people.

Chu Qing-Yan walked to the people staring at each other. She didn't size up the old person before starting to talk. "Old grandpa, do you have some needs that Prince Ying's manor could help with?"

Maybe this person came to pick fault, but one should honor old people like their own aged relatives and care for other children as one's own. With regards to old people, Chu Qing-Yan would always honor them.

That old man had already seen Chu Qing-Yan come out, using the corner of his eyes to size her up. She was earnest and virtuous with a pretty appearance, so his heart was rather satisfied. Now seeing her attitude to the housekeeper, he was even more satisfied.

"This old man can tell fortunes." the voice was loud and clear, full of energy.

Chu Qing-Yan blushed with shame, could it be another soothsayer had come? "We don't need our fortune to be told."

The old man seemed to not have heard her answer and speaking to himself, replied."Something big happened within your manor and it requires a person of high rank to help."

Chu Qing-Yan heard this and her eyes narrowed. Just now, she sent Earth Spirit and Fire Spirit to search for the person that could save Big Block of Ice. She couldn't help but open her mouth to ask. "Old man, the person of high rank you speak of is?"

One could only see the old man stroke his tangled beard, then he stood up and was taller than Chu Qing-Yan by several heads. One can lose to the person but must not lose control of the situation. Chu Qing-Yan retreated several steps, striving for a place she didn't have to look up at him.

Looking at her little movement, the old man didn't seem to mind a bit. Rather, he stretched out his arms and legs, and casually waved his hand at her to say. "This old man wants to take a bath, wants to eat, wants to rest!"

"Okay!" Chu Qing-Yan nodded without the slightest hesitation.

Xi Ning on the side was scared by her family's master being so forthright.

The old man tossed a glance that said 'consider you to be a tactful person'. Afterwards, he casually entered the manor and Chu Qing-Yan ordered Xi Ning to prepare everything.

Chu Qing-Yan watched the old man who had his hand behind his back as he leisurely entered the manor's gate. Although that appearance seemed comical, it couldn't make a person laugh out loud. At this moment, her daddy came close and said with uncertainty. "Cai Cai, I think I may have seen this person somewhere before, but can't recall it ah!"

When she heard this, her lips hooked up slightly, afterwards she said to her own daddy. "Maybe this time we found a savior!"

Daddy Chu heard this and was somewhat puzzled.
