Chapter 57057 Dilemma

"ah-"

I saw that the dragonfly paper kite in the sky was broken. When the wind blew, the paper kite flew higher and farther with the wind.

"Ah! Ah!"

Qiniang's screams became more and more shrill, as if she had seen something terrifying.

Then, she pushed Chu Qianhuang away and ran away without looking back.

Chu Qianhuang was startled for a moment, then hurriedly chased Qiniang, and ordered: "Quick, Baoqin, take a few women to guard the lake. Don't let Qiniang get close to the lake."

She grabbed her skirt and hurriedly chased after her. Baoqin and others quickly went to guard the lake and pond, while some others followed Chu Qianhuang to chase Qiniang.

Qiniang's legs and feet were extremely flexible, and there were many flowers and trees, rockeries, pavilions, water pavilions, flower galleries, etc. in the small garden. In the blink of an eye, Chu Qianhuang could no longer see Qiniang.

"Search separately!" Chu Qianhuang frowned and then ordered, "Qiniang can't walk far as a child."

Qiniang did not go far.

She was still in the small garden, running and screaming on a cobblestone path among the jagged rockeries. To her, the high rockeries on both sides looked like beasts with teeth and claws, looking at her coldly.

She became even more panicked, squatting down, hugging herself with her hands and shrinking into a ball, shivering.

"It's you."

At this time, a figure in a violet dress knelt in front of her, and the girl's shadow fell on her body, making Qiniang feel that her eyes were slightly dark.

Qiniang shrank back subconsciously, hugged herself tighter, and her face turned pale.

A breeze blew along the path between the rockeries, blowing through their hair and clothes.

The violet-colored silk flowers on the girl's temples trembled slightly, and the fragrance floated on them.

A scent like falling snow and cold plums penetrated Qiniang's nose. The tip of her nose moved. She felt that the scent was very familiar and slowly raised her head.

A bright and charming face with a clear smile caught Qiniang's eyes.

Qiniang stared unblinkingly at the pair of smiling phoenix eyes in front of her, her little shoulders hunched tightly, and her face full of wariness.

"Why are you here? Are you alone? Where is your mother?" Chu Qianchen asked softly, knowing that she would not answer and not caring.

Thinking of the woman who was guarding the door just now, saying that Princess Jingjun had come to the house, Chu Qianchen could more or less guess the identity of the little girl.

She should be Gu Zhiyan, nicknamed Qiniang, the only daughter of Prince Jing and his wife.

Princess Jingjun is the sister of her aunt, the Shen family, so Gu Zhiyan is actually her little cousin in name.

Chu Qianchen had heard something about Gu Zhiyan. Gu Zhiyan was abducted by a kid when he was a child and became a little silly after he came back.

Later, Chu Qianchen also heard that because the clan thought she was stupid, after Prince Jing's death, they imprisoned her in Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing, and there was no news about her since.

At this time in her previous life, Chu Qianchen couldn't protect herself. She didn't know much about the outside world, and she had never met Gu Zhiyan.

Unexpectedly, during a casual visit to the doctor, she saw her aunt's niece.

"Don't be afraid." Chu Qianchen raised his hand to touch the top of the little girl's soft hair.

Gu Zhiyan shrank back again like a frightened little animal, and Chu Qianchen's touch was empty.

"Do you remember me?" Chu Qianchen smiled and gently covered the bottom of his eyes with his palms, looking at her softly.

Gu Zhiyan's eyes widened slightly, and his black and white eyes suddenly became a little brighter. Her little body relaxed a lot, and her eyes blinked slightly.

Those eyes seemed to say, it’s you!

"You recognize me?" Chu Qianchen smiled.

This time, Gu Zhiyan did not shrink back, and Chu Qianchen successfully touched her head.

Three days ago, when Chu Qianchen saw Gu Zhiyan for the first time, he noticed something was wrong with her.

In Chu Qianchen's opinion, Gu Zhiyan's appearance was not that of being stupid, but that he seemed to be frightened in some way, and that he was wary of everyone and everything around him.

Her performance at this moment further confirmed Chu Qianchen's guess.

She thought for a moment, took out a crescent-shaped sachet from her purse, and said, "Smell it."

The spices in this sachet were specially formulated by her to calm the mind and calm the mind. In the days after her rebirth, she would have nightmares from her previous life from time to time, so she made a sachet to carry with her.

What exudes from the sachet is that elegant fragrance like falling snow and winter plums.

Gu Zhiyan brought her little face closer and sniffed it like a puppy. The corners of her lips curved slightly, her eyes gradually calmed down, and her body became less tense.

"I'll give this to you. Put it under your pillow when you sleep at night."

Chu Qianchen tied the sachet around Gu Zhiyan's waist with his own hands, and was about to say something else when she heard hurried footsteps behind her, followed by Chu Qianhuang's voice: "Qiniang, second sister. "

Chu Qianhuang came in a hurry, panting, with a blush on her face, as delicate as rouge.

Seeing that Gu Zhiyan was there, Chu Qianhuang breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Fortunately, the second sister found Qiniang."

Chu Qianchen stood up, helped Gu Zhiyan up as well, and asked, "Sister, what's wrong with her?"

"I don't know either." Chu Qianhuang frowned slightly and shook his head, "Just now the string of the paper kite was broken. Qiniang was very excited when she saw it and suddenly ran away... Fortunately nothing happened."

Paper kite? Chu Qianchen thought about it, handed Gu Zhiyan's little hand into Chu Qianhuang's, and then left.

"Second sister."

Chu Qianhuang stopped her, and Chu Qianchen turned around and met her eyes.

Chu Qianhuang's face looked a little complicated, and he hesitated and said: "Aunt Jiang's matter, hey, don't blame mother."

Chu Qianchen was startled. She originally wanted to respond with a few words, but when the words came to her lips, she suddenly sighed quietly and said: "Sister, hey... I know that my mother punished my aunt, so it must be her fault. First…"

"But when I think of my aunt being beaten, my heart goes..."

"I don't know what to do and I feel very embarrassed."

Chu Qianchen frowned slightly and bit his lower lip with his jade teeth. His full lower lip turned slightly white, looking worried and about to cry.

"Second sister," Chu Qianhuang sighed again with an unbearable expression, "You are also in a dilemma."

"Big sister still understands me." Chu Qianchen's long and curly eyelashes fluttered, Ruyu's face drooped slightly, and her expression became darker.

The sun shone slantly from the rockery next to her, illuminating her face half brightly and half darkly. Half of her face was as white as jade in the sun, and half of her face was as fragile as a delicate flower in the shadow of the rockery. She has a pitiful softness and beauty that makes people fall in love with her just by looking at her.

Chu Qianhuang stared at Chu Qianchen's little face and comforted: "Second sister, why don't you go to your mother to beg for mercy? Mother always praises you for being good and filial. I live in the palace these days, thanks to you. Cheng Huan is by my mother’s side, and my mother really likes you.”

"If you ask for mercy, mother will definitely agree."
