Chu Qingwan didn't plan to stay at the princess's mansion any longer, so he got up and went back to the mansion after giving Roujia instructions.
As soon as I left the room, I saw a little palace maid running away quickly, with a very hurried back. After running for a few steps, I looked back at her, with a panicked expression.
Chu Qingwan frowned, grabbed the person beside her and asked, "What did that palace maid do just now?"
The palace maid in question glanced at the man who was walking away and said, "Back to Doctor Chu, she is serving the princess in dressing up. She was scolded by the princess this morning and she just finished crying."
Chu Qingwan said "Oh" and walked forward.
Zhao Xinyu walked with her in tandem and asked her after leaving the princess's residence: "Doctor Chu think something is wrong with that palace maid?"
Chu Qingwan nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "Miss Zhao, can you please do me a favor?"
Zhao Xinyu is very talkative: "Well, you tell me."
Chu Qingwan said: "I have heard that Miss Zhao has some friendship with the princess. Now that the princess is like this, the servants in the mansion may not dare to persuade her to ventilate frequently. Why don't Miss Zhao send a useful servant over?"
Zhao Xinyu was smart and understood the meaning of her move after just a moment's thought.
——The palace maid just now was acting suspiciously, and the princess palace was in ruins because of Rou Jia's disfigurement. No one had time to pay attention to a palace maid who was also a servant. She sent someone to take care of Rou Jia, and to keep an eye on that person.
Zhao Xinyu responded and couldn't help but smile: "Doctor Chu really has a delicate heart."
Chu Qingwan slightly curved his lips.
The two walked to the carriage, Zhao Xinyu said goodbye, and Chu Qingwan stopped her: "Miss Zhao, wait a moment."
Zhao Xinyu turned around: "What's wrong?"
Chu Qingwan got into his carriage and took a box and handed it to her: "I took some pills myself. They are for beauty and vitality. If Miss Zhao doesn't mind, take them back and try the effect."
Zhao Xinyu looked at her skin that could be broken by blows, and his eyes were full of joy: "How can I dislike it? Thank you so much, Dr. Chu."
Chu Qingwan smiled and watched her carriage leave before heading back home. Unexpectedly, she saw Liu Chuan at the door who was supposed to be studying in the academy.
He did not move around, but leaned against the wall, looking depressed. Chu Qingwan walked up to him and called him: "Chuan'er?"
Liu Chuan raised his head when he heard the sound, his eyes were as red as rabbits. He had obviously cried. When he saw Chu Qingwan, he forced a smile: "Sister."
Chu Qingwan pulled him in: "It's not the time for monthly leave yet, why are you back?"
Liu Chuan's lips moved but he said nothing.
Chu Qingwan paused: "Did something happen in the academy?"
Liu Chuan's eyes flashed and he shook his head: "No, I, I just miss my sister. I took a leave of absence from my husband and came back to see my sister."
Chu Qingwan didn't believe a word of it, but seeing that Liu Chuan didn't want to say anything, she didn't pursue any further questions.
The weather was hot, so she asked Yanran to get some iced fruit: "Eat two pieces to relieve the heat. I just came back from outside and sweated a lot. You sit down first while I go change clothes."
Liu Chuan did not doubt his presence and ate the fruit absentmindedly.
Chu Qingwan winked at Wei Zhan, who followed her to the side.
Chu Qingwan ordered: "Go and find out what happened to Chuan'er in the academy, and then send someone to inquire about his parents to see if they know that Chuan'er is back."
Wei Zhan received the order and went to do it immediately.
Chu Qing went back home at night, washed his face, wiped the sweat off his body, and changed into a thinner skirt.
When he returned to the front hall, Liu Chuan was looking at the ground in a daze.
"Chuan'er," Chu Qingwan looked as usual, "Why are you so listless? Are you tired from the journey? Do you want to take a rest?"
Liu Chuan didn't want to tell Chu Qingwan the truth, but he didn't know how to cover it up. He was worried. When he heard this, he felt like he was being pardoned, and he nodded hastily: "Okay."
Chu Qingwan asked someone to lead him to the side room, raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brow.
