Cheng Yuanjing and Zhai Yanlin were standing behind the dense vines and leaves, pausing their steps after hearing the womans voice not far away.

Both men were officials who had joined the court and held real power. People under them were practically different than typical household servants, especially those around Cheng Yuanjing. Seeing the master in front stopped, all the attendants also stopped without a sound. Some people in the garden saw the group coming, but before they had time to speak, Zhai Yanlins people gestured at them to keep silent.

Cheng Yumo looked around worriedly. She vaguely felt that the situation seemed to be wrong. If Cheng Yujin said something excessive, wouldnt she offend Duke Cai? But Cheng Yumo saw Zhai Yanlins cold face, and ultimately chose not to say anything.

In fact, as long as Cheng Yumo wanted, she had a way to let Cheng Yujin knew their arrival. Zhai Yanlins people could intimidate Yichun Marquis manors servants, but could they did the same to Cheng Yumo, this manors young miss? But Cheng Yumo remained silent. Her thought was simple. Anyway, it was Cheng Yujin who was standing over there, and it was also Cheng Yujin who spoke so boldly. No one was forcing her to do so. Therefore, if Cheng Yujins words offended Duke Cai, she merely swallowed the fruit she planted and couldnt blame others.

No one announced their arrival to Cheng Yujin. Summer vegetation was lush and exuberant. Separated by dense flowers and greenery, unless someone deliberately looked closer, they wouldnt notice anyone behind. Cheng Yujin didnt know that another group was standing nearby, so she didnt soften her hand when cleaning up this unruly bastard.

Cheng Yuanjing and Zhai Yanlin stood behind the flower bush, listening to Cheng Yujins gentle and skillful persuasion. But each of her words was like a knife. She mercilessly ordered the dog to be tied and threw out, suppressing Zhai Qings momentum, and finally made him cry in frustration and anger. In the capital, Zhai Qings name was widely infamous. Even Cheng Yuanjing has also heard about the spoilt little shizi of Cai Duke manor, who was avoided by many because of his lawlessness and unruliness. However, Zhai Qings threats didnt work now. Nothing he did could deter Cheng Yujin. Even when Zhai Qing brought out his fathers name, or when he sat on the ground and crying loudly, Cheng Yujin was unmoved.

A smile appeared on Cheng Yuanjings lips. Cheng Yuanjing gave Cheng Yumo a face just now and held back his chuckle, but he didnt need to save Zhai Yanlins face, so he didnt hide his smile. Zhai Yanlin noticed the change in Cheng Yuanjings gaze and was slightly embarrassed. But even so, he was more surprised.

What kind of temperament Qinger was, Zhai Yanlin knew the best. The boys spoiled and unruly behavior has become a great laughingstock outside. Zhai Yanlin tried his best to control his son, punishing Zhai Qing for his misdemeanor and even finding a strict teacher to give him discipline. But Zhai Yanlins mother loved this grandson too much. Every time Zhai Yanlin punished Zhai Qing, Old Madam Zhai would bring a large group of servants to cry and make a ruckus for her grandsons sake. Zhai Yanlin couldnt dissuade his mother, and also couldnt really hurt his son. In the end, he could only replace Zhai Qings servants one after another and arranged more caretaker mama and guards for him.

Zhai Yanlin consoled himself. Anyway, Qinger was still a child. Once he started schooling, his temperament would slowly recede.

However, Zhai Qing knew that his grandmother was backing him, and rarely took Zhai Yanlins reprimand seriously. Like this dog, Zhai Yanlin didnt agree to let Zhai Qing raising it, and Old Madam Zhai was also afraid that the dog might injure her baby grandson. However, Zhai Qing refused to listen, and the Old Madam was so distressed that she finally relented. When a dangerous situation happened, for example like today, Zhai Qing insisted on bringing the hound into other familys inner manor, Zhai Qings attendants could only find Zhai Yanlin quickly and ask him to come over to preside over the situation.

Zhai Yanlin felt a headache. Even the mama who specialized in teaching rules in the imperial palace couldnt make Zhai Qing obedient. Unexpectedly, this young Miss of a marquis household actually made Zhai Qing so helpless that he could only sit on the ground and cry in anger.

Zhai Yanlin was very much shocked, and for the first time, began to observe a woman seriously. Across the lush green leaves, he could see a slender figure standing on the stone steps. She was wearing a pale pink dress, and her side profile was so remarkable. Obviously, the girl was just standing there normally, but her figure brought upon unique charm others didnt have.

The green leaves swayed up and down. From Zhai Yanlins position, he could only see the girls side figure and was unable to see her face. But the neck that was exposed above the collar was exceedingly white. Coupled with her light-colored dress, it was as if she was shining.

Zhai Yanlin couldnt help but turn around and asked, Who is she?

Cheng Yumos lips moved, but didnt say anything. Cheng Yuanjing originally watched Cheng Yujin smilingly, but when he heard Zhai Yanlins question, he gave the man a sideways glance.

Suddenly, Zhai Yanlin seemed to guess who this girl was. Although a bit surprised, his tone was confident: This is Cheng familys eldest young Miss?

Zhai Qings cry over there concealed the movement on this side. Cheng Yumo sighed inward, and was about to nod when Cheng Yuanjing suddenly walked out.

Cheng Yumo was startled: Ninth Uncle?

What was Ninth Uncle doing? How did she feel that Ninth Uncle was deliberately reminding eldest sister of their presence?

Cheng Yujin felt something was moving behind. When she turned her head and saw Cheng Yuanjing standing behind the bushes, she was surprised: Ninth Uncle?
