Listening to the noise in the house gradually fading away and the servants clearing away the dishes and chopsticks one by one, Zhou Qinghe hid herself behind a tree to conceal her figure.

She was sleeping soundly when she was called to turn on the midnight oil.

Qin Yaoguang would not really let a weak little girl do such heavy physical work.

But even though he was just helping out, Zhou Qinghe vomited up yesterday's dinner just by smelling it.

She caused trouble for the old woman who was pouring night incense and was scolded several times.

But she can't control it!

The stomach spasmed reflexively, and after vomiting, only acid was left, and tears were streaming down my face.

She had never been so miserable in her two lifetimes.

After finally waiting until the end and returning to the room, Zhou Qinghe didn't know how she fell asleep.

After waking up, she did not see the blue-clothed guard who was guarding her.

She went to the kitchen and asked for a bowl of porridge, and her upset stomach felt better.

The rest, couldn't eat anything.

Since no one was watching her, she asked about the whereabouts of the children, then ran to the hot spring and picked a bunch of wild flowers.

The unknown lavender flowers are small, and when you smell them up close, you can smell a faint fragrance.

Zhou Qinghe smelled the fragrance and thought about her next plan.

She hid behind a tree and watched the children leave one by one, until she saw the fifth child jumping out, then she moved.

After taking two or three steps, I saw the third brother following the fifth brother.

Zhou Qinghe hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and followed.

Lao Wu walked out of the yard with a clear goal in mind, heading towards the cypress tree where he had rested during morning exercise.

While walking, looking around.

But when he walked to the tree, he didn't see the little puppy that he wanted to play with so much.

I circled the tree several times without giving up, and then expanded my search area, but there was still no sign of the puppy.

Lao Wu's mouth flattened and the corners of his eyes turned red.

Weak, pitiful, and helpless.

How could the third brother bear to see him looking so aggrieved?

I just accompanied him to look for it for a while, but I really didn't find it.

"Third brother, does it dislike me?"

Lao Wu raised his head and said, "We clearly agreed to wait here."

How can it understand what you are saying?

When the third brother said this, he suppressed it and said, "It's still very young. It should go back to its mother."

"Well, let's go back and tell mother and ask her to help find it, okay?"

The third brother knew that this was the imperial estate belonging to his mother.

As long as the mother gives the order, the puppy will definitely be found.

Unexpectedly, Lao Wu shook his head and said, "No, we can't cause trouble for our mother. It must be nearby. Let's come back in the afternoon."

Although his ideas are naive, his logic is very clear.

Since I saw a puppy playing here while running, the person who raised it must be not far away.

Hearing this, the third child praised: "Yes, our fifth child is really smart!"

After receiving praise from his third brother, the fifth brother became visibly more lively.

They say a child's face changes in an instant, and his mood was no longer depressed.

This made Zhou Qinghe, who had been following along the way, very frustrated.

If she had known earlier, she should have stepped forward and comforted Lao Wu with flowers when he was sad.

Laowu lives a good life now, with food to eat and clothes to wear, but he still likes beautiful flowers, right?

After all, he was only a five-year-old.

But, the third brother is here.

Among her five children, she was most afraid of the third child, who was the most beautiful.

She had seen this type of person in her previous life.

He seems to be a "silent person" and is very scary when he gets crazy. She has long put him on the list of "people who should not be messed with".

When she used small favors to bribe the children, the one she had the least contact with was the third child.

Unfortunately, the opportunity was fleeting.

As Zhou Qinghe was hesitating, the boss's voice came from behind her.

"Miss Zhou, why are you here?"

After losing the bet with the second brother, the eldest brother took the responsibility of keeping an eye on Zhou Qinghe and keeping her away from the fifth brother.

But after breakfast, he looked around and didn't see Zhou Qinghe.

I thought that since this was the case, finding Lao Wu would be the same.

After asking the servants, he found out that the third and fifth brothers were indeed coming this way, so he hurried over.

Unexpectedly, I saw Zhou Qinghe.

The boss's face fell.

It was this little girl who looked ordinary but kept the second son awake at night and made him sit for a long time in the cold night.

The second brother's fear of her was indeed right.

Therefore, the boss asked this question in a very impolite tone.

Zhou Qinghe was shocked and her heart was pounding.

Did you not check the almanac before going out today? Why is everything going wrong?

However, the eldest brother is easy to please.

Thinking of this, she quickly adjusted her facial expression, put on a timid smile, and turned to look at the boss.

"Master, I..."

Zhou Qinghe bit her lip, avoided his gaze, lowered her eyes and said, "I poured out the night fragrance, but I always felt that my body was too smelly, so I ran out to pick some flowers."

Especially pitiful and particularly sympathetic.

Unexpectedly, the third brother walked towards her, looked down at the flowers she was holding, and asked, "Where did you pick them?"

Zhou Qinghe was stunned.

Of course she couldn't say that she went to the hot spring on purpose to pick them, as that wouldn't explain why she was there.

"It's nearby," she raised the bouquet in her hand, "just some wild flowers."

A cold smile stained the delicate eyebrows of the third brother, and he pointed out mercilessly: "This is a flower that blooms next to the hot spring."

Among the five children, no one can match him in terms of sensitivity and observation.

Zhou Qinghe's face turned pale, and she smiled weakly, saying, "They are just wild flowers, they can grow anywhere."

She still didn't believe it. In such a big place, could it be only next to the hot spring?

"Miss Zhou, what you said is wrong."

A female voice came from the treetops above everyone's heads.

When they looked up, they saw a slim blue-clothed guard lying in the dense canopy of the privet tree, looking leisurely and contented.

Seeing where she was, Lao Wu exclaimed, "Wow!" and clapped his hands, "Sister, how did you get up there? I want one too!"

A gust of wind blew by, and the Qingyi Guard stood in front of them, looking at Zhou Qinghe with a curled lip.

Zhou Qinghe, however, looked as if he had seen a ghost and took several steps back.

This person, didn’t she leave?

Why did it suddenly appear again?!

Could it be that she has always been following me and never left?

Thinking of this, her heart began to beat wildly uncontrollably and she felt anxious.

"Miss Zhou."

The Green Guard called her playfully and said, "I saw you go to the hot spring to pick flowers, and then follow the Third Young Master and the Fifth Young Master all the way here."

"Hey?"

Lao Wu glanced at Zhou Qinghe and then at the Qingyi Guards.

Then, he tugged at the corner of the third brother's clothes, pointed at Zhou Qinghe and asked curiously: "Third brother, why did she lie?"
