The visitors were a man and a woman. They were of medium build and looked to be less than forty. They were all dressed in coarse cloth. Their skin was dark and their outstretched hands were rough. They looked at Chu Qingyue with excited and anxious eyes.
It was none other than Chu Qingyue's biological parents - Liu Chang and Zhang.
They shouted and wanted to pull Chu Qingyue away, but Lu He quickly stopped her: "How brave! How dare you two call my lady by her maiden name!"
"Get out of the way! We are Yue'er's parents, and we have something urgent to do with her!"
Mrs. Zhang said and pushed hard, Lu He fell to the ground and screamed in pain.
Chu Qingyue frowned and asked in a bad tone, "Why are you here?"
Five years ago, when Chu Qingwan was found, Mrs. Chu sent someone to send Chu Qingyue to the countryside, with the intention of letting her recognize her ancestors and live with her biological parents.
Chu Qingyue only lived in the countryside for one day before she couldn't bear it anymore and rushed back to Chu Mansion overnight.
Before entering the house, she bruised herself all over and lied that Liu Chang and Zhang asked her for money, but she didn't have any, so they beat her.
Mrs. Liu and Chu Huai'an felt sorry for their daughter, whom they had raised for more than ten years, and allowed her to stay in the Chu Mansion despite the old man's objections.
Chu Qingyue cut off contact with her biological parents and sent someone to warn them that she was the eldest lady of the Chu family, not a country girl, and they should not try to have any relations with her.
From the bottom of her heart, she disliked these shameless parents, but she couldn't go too far in front of the Chu Mansion.
Ms. Zhang came closer to her and said with a smile: "Yue'er is more beautiful than before. Otherwise, the fine clothes and food in this city can nourish people."
Chu Qingyue took a step back, as if she was afraid of being stained by dirt.
Mrs. Zhang's face stiffened and she felt a little embarrassed.
Upon seeing this, Liu Chang said: "We came all the way to see you. We have been traveling for several days and haven't had a full meal. Please bring us something to eat first."
Chu Qingyue instinctively wanted to refuse, but when she mistakenly saw that Chu Xiao was about to come out, she immediately changed her words: "Okay, you come with me."
After saying that, he quickly got into the carriage and asked the driver to rush towards the restaurant. Liu Chang and Zhang ran to keep up.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Chu Qingyue simply ordered a few dishes.
Seeing Liu Chang and Zhang devouring their food, she became more and more disgusted and said impatiently: "Didn't I say that I have nothing to do with you in this life? What do you want from me?"
Mrs. Zhang chewed rice in her mouth and said vaguely: "We have come to join you."
Chu Qingyue was displeased: "Swallow your food before you speak."
Ms. Zhang chewed hard, and the squeaking sound was irritating.
Liu Chang ate quickly and had already finished his meal.
He casually wiped the oil in his mouth with his hand, wiped it on his coarse clothes carelessly, and said: "The bandits robbed my house, and the house was demolished. We have nowhere to go, so we can only come to look for you."
Mrs. Zhang swallowed the mouthful of rice and continued: "We have no business and still owe money to the medical clinic. If we don't find you, we will starve to death in Kyoto."
Chu Qingyue was puzzled: "I owe the medical center money?"
Mrs. Zhang nodded: "Chuan'er is not in good health. He fell ill on the way here and is still detained in the hospital."
Chu Qingyue only felt her head hurting.
Liu Chang added: "We have been sleeping on the street for a few days. It was not easy for us to ask the Chu Mansion to find you. We will go back with you later."
Chu Qingyue said without hesitation: "No!"
She is a young lady from the Chu family, with a rich body, supreme dignity, and the Chu Mansion is a high-class mansion. How can she be defiled by people like them!
Liu Chang frowned: "Then we should continue to sleep on the street? My daughter enjoys glory and wealth, but her parents and younger brother are left to sleep in the open. How can there be such a truth in the world?"
Mrs. Zhang asked: "Yue'er, do you think we have embarrassed you?"
Chu Qingyue was noncommittal.
Liu Chang's face darkened: "A dog doesn't mind the family's poverty, so what are you doing?"
"I'm telling you, we don't plan to go back to Kyoto after we come to Kyoto. If you don't let us go to that big mansion, we will eat and drink in front of the Chu Mansion. It's up to you!"
