On a tiring late summer afternoon, the sound of yawns could be heard one after another in the west attic. The Left Prime Minister was not at home today, so Feng Zhanye looked up and saw several concubines' daughters sleeping on the table.

A boring day of classes ended, and everyone else left. Feng Zhanye stayed behind to hand in the essay he had copied yesterday to the teacher, and stayed until the teacher finished marking it.

He woke up Wu Fang, who was nodding his head in sleep, and was about to go downstairs, but he noticed a pair of eyes staring at him in the corner.

"Brother Ye!"

Again.

Feng Zhanye had almost become immune to this voice. He turned around with a blank face and greeted her, "Miss Zuo San."

"Brother Ye, what do you do after class? I heard that the Victoria amazonica in the North Courtyard has bloomed recently. Do you want to go to the lotus pond together to take a look?"

Zuo Lanxin smiled brightly, her beautiful eyes full of hope, and when she looked at Feng Zhanye, there was some of the naivety that only a young girl could have.

Feng Zhanye shook his head in a very unromantic way and said apologetically, "Sorry, I have to go first."

He was about to go downstairs when the little girl suddenly grabbed the corner of his clothes.

Feng Zhanye froze for a moment, resisting the urge to frown and turning back, he saw Zuo Lanxin's eyes were red, as if she was about to shed tears in the next second.

"Brother Ye, did Lan Xin do something wrong to make you angry?"

He looked at Wu Fang, who had not gotten enough sleep and was still in a daze, and got so angry that he kicked him hard.

After being kicked like this, Wu Fang almost rolled down the stairs, and was frightened awake.

When he came to his senses, he saw that Feng Zhanye's sleeve was still in Zuo Lanxin's hand. He didn't know what was wrong with his brain, and he said, "Oh my God! There's something dirty!" and suddenly reached out to pull back the half sleeve in Zuo Lanxin's hand.

The three of them were stunned for a moment, and Wu Fang hurriedly tried to find a way to make up for it.

"Ah! That! Miss San, you misunderstood. The master really has something to do. There are cats to feed at home. We will go back first. Please stay! Please stay!"

After saying that, he grabbed Feng Zhan and fled downstairs at night. It was not until the two of them ran to the door that they heard angry voices coming from upstairs.

"You! You! Who are you calling dirty?"

The sunlight is just right after noon, and according to the cat's habits, now is a good time to bask in the sun.

Gu Qingzhi felt sorry for Xiaohua because she had to stay indoors due to her lame leg, so she simply carried her for a walk in the yard.

It was still a little hot in late summer, but with Xiaohua resting on her shoulders, she felt comfortable sitting there.

Seeing Wu Fang dragging Feng Zhanye and running towards them not far away, Gu Qingzhi looked at the two of them suspiciously.

"You guys are running so fast, are you being chased by wolves?"

Feng Zhanye was being dragged to run and was so tired that he was out of breath. He waved his hands and could not speak. Gu Qingzhi could only look at Wu Fang.

Wu Fang panted and touched his chest: "Hey! Oh my god... Wait a minute... Take a breath... I tell you... The thing chasing us is much scarier than a wolf!"

After hearing what he said, Gu Qingzhi became even more confused.

"What could be scarier than a wolf?"

Wu Fang finally caught his breath and pointed at Feng Zhanye, saying, "You don't know how charming our master is. The Third Miss has been pestering him every day like a madman. Her eyes glow green when she sees him. If you don't know, you would think she has been hungry for so many meals. How terrifying! Hmm..."

"Don't listen to his nonsense." Before Gu Qingzhi could react, Feng Zhanye covered Wu Fang's mouth.

Gu Qingzhi looked at his handsome face carefully, and remembered that Gu Fengping was also very popular with girls in the clinic, so she felt that what Wu Fang said was right.

"That's normal. I heard that most princes get married very early. You are good-looking and at the right age, so it's normal for you to be liked by women."

Hearing Gu Qingzhi say this, Feng Zhanye seemed a little embarrassed. He secretly put some powder on the tip of his ear, tugged at her sleeve, leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Sister, please stop making fun of me."

Wu Fang, who was standing by, was just about to express his dissatisfaction with the two people for whispering without him, when he saw a familiar figure not far away.

"Oh my god! Why did she chase us here? Brother Gu, please help hold her back. I will take the master away first!"

Before Feng Zhanye could refuse, Wu Fang grabbed him, pushed him and ran away.

Gu Qingzhi sighed, turned around, and saw a maid supporting Zuo Lanxin walking towards her anxiously.

"Miss Third." She bowed helplessly.

The little girl looked her up and down, and seemed to recognize that she had seen her before. She murmured, "Are you the guard who competed with the second brother on behalf of Brother Ye at the banquet last year?"

As if she suddenly realized that she was the master, she took a posture and pushed the maid beside her to speak.

The maid knew her temper very well, and glared at Gu Qingzhi with a bully-like attitude, "Hey! Our young lady wants to ask you, where is the Third Prince now?"

From what Wu Fang said, Gu Qingzhi thought that it would be useless to just tell Feng Zhanye that he didn't want to see her, so she simply denied it.

"The Third Prince has not returned from the main residence. Perhaps the class is not over yet."

"Nonsense! The Third Prince just said that he had something to do and left first. You, a lowly slave, should not play tricks on the young lady. It is better to tell the truth honestly."

The maid looked arrogant and refuted her without even thinking.

Gu Qingzhi looked at her expressionlessly, as if she didn't hear her insults. Her tone was as cold as ever: "I'm telling the truth. He really hasn't come back. Why don't you go to the main mansion to look for him?"

"You!" The maid didn't expect that Gu Qingzhi was not afraid at all, but would retort to her. She was so angry that her face turned purple, and she turned back to ask Zuo Lanxin for help.

Zuo Lanxin knew that Gu Qingzhi was obviously trying to stop her maid with words, so she didn't refute him. She sneered and said, "It's okay. Just tell me where his room is. When he comes back, I will tell him how you bullied me."

It was really unreasonable. Gu Qingzhi didn't even understand where Zuo Lanxin's word "bullying" came from.

Wu Fang was right. This little girl was indeed clingy and refused to leave, so she had no choice but to threaten her.

"The Taoist priest who exorcised the Third Prince once said that although the evil spirit on His Highness has faded a lot, the house he lives in is not something that people with weak fate can enter at will. Are you sure you want to go, Miss Third?"

After hearing what Gu Qingzhi said, the maid was the first to show her fear. She looked at her with a hint of vigilance and took two steps back imperceptibly.

Zuo Lanxin was, after all, afraid of the rumored evil spirit, and her heart was beating fast, her eyes were wandering.

"Miss, how about... let's go back and look for it first?" The maid pulled Zuo Lanxin's sleeve and persuaded her.

She was a little scared to begin with, and the maid just gave her a way out, so Zuo Lanxin nodded and said, "Okay."

"Goodbye, both of you." Gu Qingzhi completed the formalities and finally got rid of this hot potato. She breathed a sigh of relief, hugged Xiaohua in her arms and left.

Zuo Lanxin behind him kept shouting, "Wait!"
