_________________
The City Lord’s Mansion is very large. It is almost equivalent to a small city, with many buildings inside and countless pavilions and gardens, which makes it very troublesome to manage. It is not easy to find someone here.
Fortunately, soul guides have gradually developed, and there are communication technology such as mobile phones. Almost everyone in the high-level management of Baiyun City has one. As the housekeeper of the City Lord’s Mansion, the five maids naturally have mobile phones. Zhu Zhuqing also has their contact information.
As for why she didn’t call Ye Cheng directly, it was mainly because Zhu Zhuqing wanted to know who happened to be “Miss Ah Lan”. If she asked the person directly, it would be too embarrassing.
And from Zhu Zhuqing’s position as an apprentice, she was not qualified to ask about the master’s private affairs. So she could only get the news she wanted to know through other people.
Taking out her mobile phone and open the address book.
Looking at the names of the five triplets above, after thinking for a while, Zhu Zhuqing sent a message to Yotsuba. This Yotsuba is the fourth of the five triplets, and also the easiest to get along with. The relationship between the two is not bad.
After a while.
A girl with short red and pink hair came over with a brisk pace.
The quintuplets all looked the same, so in order to distinguish them, they all had different hairstyles. As the fourth child, Yotsuba had short hair and a ribbon that looked like rabbit ears on her head. With her bright smile, she looked like a lively little rabbit.
“Zhuqing…”
The lively girl waved at her from a distance, and then trotted over to her.
“What do you want to talk to me about?” she asked curiously.
“I want to ask, what’s the matter with the girl Ah Lan who appeared recently?” Zhu Zhuqing asked straight to the point. The two had a good relationship, so there was no need to make up stories, just ask directly.
“Miss Ah Lan…”
After Yotsuba heard her words, he tapped his chin with his fingers and said, “I don’t know much either~ I only know that she was brought back by the master and is very dependent on the master. Even the place where she lives is near the master. And this Miss Ah Lan is very strange…”
“Strange? What’s strange?” Zhu Zhuqing’s expression moved when he heard this, and he couldn’t help asking.
“It’s just… she looks very mature. But sometimes she gives people the feeling of a little girl who hasn’t grown up.” Yotsuba thought for a while and replied, “She is very ignorant about many things.”
“The master has been bringing her around recently, teaching her some things intentionally or unintentionally. It feels…” She frowned and thought for a while before she suddenly realized, “It’s like teaching a daughter! Oh, right! Do you think this girl Ah Lan is the master’s illegitimate daughter?”
“Illegitimate daughter?!”
Zhu Zhuqing couldn’t help but feel a little speechless after hearing her such a whimsical guess.
“No! Rather than saying she is an illegitimate daughter, it’s more appropriate to say she is a child bride!” Siye shook her head and denied it, and said another guess.
“Child bride!!!”
Zhu Zhuqing was instantly upset when she heard these words. She was not unfamiliar with this, because there were many nobles in the Star Luo Empire, who often searched for some talented and good-looking girls among the people… and trained them from childhood. It was common for those old noble men in their seventies and eighties to have a few of them around them.
But she never expected that one day her most respected teacher would actually do such a thing?!
Wait! If that’s the case… wouldn’t she be more qualified to be a child bride?...
Zhu Zhuqing suddenly realized something and her face turned red.
“Huh? Zhuqing, why is your face so red?” Siye was a little surprised. At this moment, a ringing sound suddenly came from her body. It turned out that her cell phone rang.
Siye picked up the phone and took a look. It was a message from other sisters.
“Oh, the master is back with Miss Ah Lan.”
“The teacher is back.”
Zhu Zhuqing didn’t care about blushing when she heard the news. She was eager to know who this so-called Miss Ah Lan was.
On the other side.
Ye Cheng took Ah Lan’s hand and slowly walked into the City Lord’s Mansion. Recently, he always took Ah Lan out to walk around. Of course, he hid his appearance. After all, his current fame can be described as “Who in the world doesn’t know you?”
People, being too famous is not a good thing.
Sometimes you just go out for a walk, and it seems uncomfortable. Because the eyes of the people around you and their attitudes towards you will greatly destroy your original leisurely mood.
So when he goes out for a walk, Ye Cheng will change his appearance to avoid being treated as an emperor incognito wherever he goes. Ah Lan, who followed him, was naturally given an illusion and changed into an ordinary and inconspicuous appearance.
Ye Cheng is like an old father, taking his daughter who was born not long ago and doesn’t know much about anything. To get to know the world and experience it.
Frankly speaking, this is also a rare experience.
Due to the contract, Ah Lan has obtained most of his common sense memory, although her heart is as pure and innocent as a little girl. But on the surface and in her behavior, she is relatively normal. At most, people will occasionally feel that this girl is quite childish in some aspects.
After returning to the mansion.
Ye Cheng took Ah Lan’s hand and came to the garden to rest.
There are pavilions, artificial lakes, rockery, and various precious and rare plants and flowers with exquisite layout. It is a good place for daily leisure.
There are stone tables and stone benches in the pavilion. The two came here to sit down. Ah Lan picked up a bowl of feed and threw it towards the artificial lake next to it.
In the clear lake water, colorful carps competed for food!
Ah Lan was very interested. For her who had just been “born”, everything in the world was so interesting. Full of freshness.
Ye Cheng sat aside, looking at her with satisfaction like an old father.
However, this scene, in the eyes of Zhu Zhuqing who came here, was completely different.
In the pavilion of the garden.
A man and a woman, sitting intimately together.
The woman had a beautiful face, and every move was full of indescribable elegance and nobility. Even the action of waving fish feed in her hands seemed so elegant and extraordinary.
Even Zhu Zhuqing felt ashamed when looking at this woman.
It was really that this woman had such a good temperament.
The man sitting next to the woman, dressed in white, was as handsome as a god, as extraordinary as a fairy, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. He looked at the woman gently and dotingly, as if he had infinite affection.
A man and a woman, they were simply a match made in heaven!
Zhu Zhuqing felt that she had no room to intervene at all, and even going over to disturb them seemed like a sin.
This feeling was really too…
