But when he thought about how the Duke Zhenguo and the Princess treated Lin Ruoxuan very well, he didn't say anything more.

"By the way, Eighth Miss asked you to keep Third Miss under guard. It's best not to let her leave the house during these days."

Lin Ruoxue's eyelids twitched when she heard this.

She looked at Qi Zeshen and then at Song Zhennan.

"Is there something you are hiding from me?"

Qi Zeshen said quickly: "We didn't hide it from you. It was the Eighth Miss who said she didn't want you to worry, so there are some things we can't tell you."

Looking at the expressions of Song Zhennan and Qi Zeshen, Lin Ruoxue nodded.

"Then tell me, will this matter threaten Sister Xuan?"

The two hesitated for a moment, and it was Qi Zeshen who spoke first.

"It's possible, but this matter has already become a foregone conclusion and cannot be changed. After all, when marrying the old city, it was the Eighth Girl who went first, and General Gu followed in order to find them."

Lin Ruoxue opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know how to start.

Thinking of Lin Ruoxuan's previous recklessness, she couldn't help but sigh and didn't ask any more questions.

"Since Sister Xuan doesn't want me to know, I won't ask any more questions."

"But no matter what happens, I want you to protect Sister Xuan. If you need my help in the future, I will definitely not refuse."

Lin Ruoxue was serious about what she said, and she did not take it for granted that Qi Zeshen and Song Zhennan would do things for them just because of her marriage to Qi Zeshen.

Qi Zeshen wanted to say something but was stopped by Lin Ruoxue.

"No need to say anything else, just come to me when the time comes."

Qi Zeshen and Song Zhennan glanced at each other, and Song Zhennan looked at Lin Ruoqiao again before nodding.

They understood Lin Ruoxue's character and knew that if they refused at this time, Lin Ruoxue would not regard them as her own.

It's fine for Qi Zeshen, after all, Qi Zeshen and Lin Ruoxue are already engaged, but Song Zhennan is different, his relationship with Lin Ruoqiao is not confirmed yet, and he doesn't want to ruin his marriage because of this matter.

Lin Ruoxue had no idea what they were thinking. Seeing that it was getting late, she didn't want to keep them and let them go back first.

Although the two were reluctant, they knew it was not a good idea to stay any longer, so they just said goodbye and left.

Early the next morning, Zhao Xiaozhi, who had not slept all night, came to the door.

When the doorman saw a strange carriage arriving at the gate of the mansion, he immediately stepped forward to inquire.

"Who are you?"

Chang Shou delivered the visiting card from his master.

"We are here to see the Eighth Miss. Our Master has something important to discuss with her. Could we please deliver the visiting card to her?"

The doorman looked at Chang Shou and suddenly remembered that this man seemed to have been here some time ago.

But seeing that the other party didn't seem as arrogant as before, they didn't get into a conflict.

"You came at an unfortunate time. The Eighth Miss is not in the mansion."

Chang Shou was stunned. He thought that Lin Ruoxuan would refuse to see their young master, but he didn't expect that Lin Ruoxuan was not at home.

"This... don't lie to us."

The concierge waved his hand impatiently, "The Eighth Miss is indeed no longer in the mansion, so please don't bother her!"

Zhao Xiaozhi, who was in the carriage, heard the noise and then lifted the curtain of the carriage.

"I wonder where the eighth girl went?"

"I don't know that."

When Chang Shou saw the doorman's attitude, he became so angry that his face turned blue.

"you……"

When the doorman saw Chang Shou's appearance, he also widened his eyes.

Ever since the concubine in their house was driven away, they can now stand up straight and live their lives with dignity.

Although they are servants, they don't want to hear anyone talking behind their backs.

There was once a concubine in charge of their house, and they were often gossiped about behind their backs, saying things like the master favored the concubine and neglected her. Even the servants like them were implicated.

Now that the mistress of the house has finally taken charge of the household again, how could they possibly put themselves in a difficult position again?

What's more, they are the face of the mansion, how can they be bullied by others at will?

"What do you mean by 'you'? We are just servants in the mansion, not the master. Wherever the master wants to go, how can we stop him?"

Chang Shou was immediately so angry at the sharp-tongued doorman that his face turned red and his neck became thick. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to start, so he could only glare at the other party fiercely.

Zhao Xiaozhi looked at the doorman's expression and knew that he was not lying.

Since the doorman didn't lie, where did Lin Ruoxuan go?

Thinking of Lin Ruoxuan's purpose of looking for the thousand-year-old snow lotus, Zhao Xiaozhi's expression couldn't help but darken.

Although he himself didn't want to admit it, he had to suspect that Lin Ruoxuan was now in the Gu family.

Seeing that Chang Shou still wanted to argue with the doorman, Zhao Xiaozhi immediately lowered the curtains of the carriage.

"Changshou, gone."

When Chang Shou heard his master's order, although he was reluctant, he had no choice but to get on the carriage.

"Sir, that concierge is really going too far!"

Zhao Xiaozhi did not speak for a moment before he said, "It's not that they are too bullying, but that they don't take us seriously."

How could Zhao Xiaozhi, who had lived his life again, not know that when he was weak, there were bad people around him?

But he didn't tell Chang Shou these words. The biggest reason why he wanted Chang Shou to serve him was that Chang Shou could do things that he wanted to do but couldn't do.

Just like when he faced the doorman today, he wanted to curse him. But his status and the reputation of the Zhao family did not allow it.

But Chang Shou was different. Although Chang Shou was a servant of the Zhao family, he was just a servant.

If it were to be worn outside, others would only say that Chang Shou was a man who protected his master, and would not say anything bad about the Zhao family.

Chang Shou had no idea of ​​Zhao Xiaozhi's thoughts. He just watched his master fall into silence. He didn't say much and just drove the carriage obediently.

But when I think about why my young master has become what he is now, isn’t it because of Lin Ruoxuan?

Thinking of this, Chang Shou no longer had any good feelings towards Lin Ruoxuan.

When his son was tricked into going to a teahouse before, he felt that the people of the Lin family were unreliable.

Now it seems that her young master was really drugged by the young master of the Lin family, and he is so devoted to her.

Chang Shou had seen Lin Ruoxuan before. Lin Ruoxuan's appearance was not the most outstanding in the capital, but her eyes seemed a little different.

Chang Shou didn't know if it was because of this difference that he attracted the attention of his own master.

But no matter what, my young master is now completely bewitched by the eighth girl from the Lin family.

Chang Shou wanted to persuade his own son, but others didn't know, but he himself knew it very well.

My young master has an extremely stubborn temper. Once he has made up his mind about something, it is not easy to change it.
