Chapter 31: The Residence is Uncongenial Today

of water as soon as she wakes up. She weighed the teapot on her table, there was water, she drank it all, and it seemed like it wasn't enough, so she figured she would just make do for now. 。But wher...Chapter Thirty-One

The Ministry of Rites is unavailable today.

"Chen Engong..."

"Uh..."

Just when Chen Zixuan was feeling utterly dejected, the lovely Twenty-Nine arrived in a carriage.

"Wow, Twenty-Nine, you're so handsome! I haven't seen you in ages, it feels like years. Am I right Am I right" Chen Zixuan's eyes lit up as he prepared to embrace Twenty-Nine. "My dear Twenty-Nine, your appearance is so timely."

“Sister, young lady, the carriage is ready... Where are we going” Twenty-Nine always felt a chill down her spine when she saw Chen Zixuan’s eyes gleam. Young lady… please don’t come closer… don’t approach me…

"Where to Ka'er, you lead the way..."

"Yes, Master Chen..."

"You can still call me Miss, just like you did when I was twenty-nine..." Chen Zixuan pouted.

Ke'er hung her head and remained silent, her two small hands tightly clutching the silver.

"Oh well, never mind, call it whatever you like..." Ancient women are such a hassle.

"Master Xie, please take the carriage..."

Nineteen took the first step, using both hands to support himself as he got onto the carriage.

Chen Zixuan also braced himself with both hands, then fell down, ouch...

One more push...it fell down again....Damn it!

This time I'm using my legs to climb, one foot hooked onto the carriage seat. But the other leg just won't budge... You jerk... Can I curse you

Dear, you've been scolding... okay, okay, I'll shut up, I'll shut up... You continue, you continue...

Chen Zixuan was still struggling to climb onto the horse. Yaoer wanted to help her, but with her small frame, she could barely stand steady herself…

Twenty-nine... Twenty-nine, my heart was blooming with joy...

It's satisfying to see the girl humbled, Twenty-Nine feels complete…

"Twenty-nine, pull me up, you really are something else, you have no eye for detail, it's so adorable..."

Before Chen Zixuan could finish her sentence, Twenty-Nine scooped her up like a chick and carried her onto the carriage, then tossed her into the carriage...

It feels so good to be free and independent!

Chen Zixuan winced in pain as he was thrown into the carriage...

"Please excuse me, sir…" Ke’er watched Chen Zixuan struggle to get onto the carriage for a long time, she had already given up trying to climb on herself.

"Miss Caroll, I apologize..." Twenty-Nine grabbed Caroll's hand and with a gentle tug, she was on the carriage...

"Wow, seriously You're playing favorites, aren't you Friendzoned much Hmph, next time I'm not buying you clothes..." Chen Zixuan poked at Twenty-Nine's spine and grumbled.

Kao'er blushed when she heard Chen Zixuan's words. She shyly got into the car, her small hand clutching the silver tightly.

By now, he was used to Chen Zixuan's boredom. He ignored Chen Zixuan's complaints and just looked at Ke'er in the corner and asked, "Ke'er, where shall we go"

"Huh Um… the right back gate of the Prime Minister's residence."

"Drive..." Twenty-Nine concentrated on driving the carriage.

"Prime Minister's Mansion That Murong Yue, is she from your mansion" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Ka'er's face changed color, then after a while she nodded.

"She is the eldest young lady of your household, isn't she"

Ke'er nodded again...

Well… It’s a tragedy. She seemed to be there last time when I messed with Tianyu. She looked sinister and unpleasant. Ugh… Will I run into her again at the Chancellor's mansion That would be awkward.

"Ke'er... that, we will meet her, right" Chen Zixuan looked at Ke'er pitifully.

Ke'er lowered her head and after a while, she shook her head.

Chen Zixuan let out a long sigh of relief. It's good that he won't encounter it, if he did, he'd probably be devoured alive…

Chen Zixuan caught a glimpse of Ke'er from the corner of his eye. He saw that she had been keeping her head down and silent, her expression rather odd.

"Ke'er, what's wrong Where does it hurt"

Ke'er shook her head.

Chen Zixuan saw Ke'er's hands trembling slightly as if she was trying her best to endure something.

"Ke'er, are you really alright"

Kailani shook her head again.

Chen Zixuan still wanted to ask something, but the carriage stopped.

"Miss, we've arrived at the Chancellor's Residence."

"So fast Well..."

Chen Zixuan jumped out of the carriage, "Oh, the Prime Minister's residence looks very impressive! It seems like they are very wealthy."

"Kailin, are you alright" Twenty-Nine reached out to help Kailin, but Kailin just stood there in a daze.

"Caroll..."

"What's wrong, Ca'er We've already arrived at the Prime Minister's residence." Chen Zixuan shouted towards the carriage.

Ke'er came to her senses and stepped out of the carriage.

The guards at the gate stared in astonishment as Miss Seven emerged from the carriage.

"Isn't this Miss Seven How did she get into a carriage"

"Yeah, who are those two"

The guard looked at me, and I looked at him, then shook my head.

"Guard captain, would you be so kind as to make an exception I'd like to bring this young lady into the Prime Minister's residence."

"Miss Qi, it's not that we are unwilling to accommodate you. It's just that the side gate of the Prime Minister's residence does not receive guests from outside. If the mistress blames us, we can't afford it."

"Guardian Brother, I promise I won't let Sister know."

"Seventh Miss, perhaps we should allow this young lady to visit through the main gate. It would be just as effective in getting her into the Prime Minister's residence."

"But, but... I... Ke'er begs you, Captain..."

"Seventh Miss, we sympathize with your situation, but our duty is to protect the peace. We can't let her leave. What if something happens at the Prime Minister's Residence"

"No, no, she's a young lady, nothing bad will happen."

Who is she

"She's a friend of Ke'er, could you please be accommodating, Sir Guard I had to leave in a hurry today and I... I don't have the silver right now. Could you lend me some and I'll repay you in two days Please help Ke'er, Sir Guard..."

"Miss Seven, what are you saying Are we the kind of people who are blinded by money Miss Seven, you know Miss One's temper, please don't make things difficult for us..."

“This…”

Chen Zixuan saw Ke'er grinding there with the guards for a long time, and couldn't grind out anything. He was getting a little anxious: "Twenty-Nine, can you hear what they're saying"

"They won't let Miss Seven take you in." Although Twenty-Nine was a dark guard and somewhat cold-blooded, he couldn't help but feel sympathy for this seventh young lady of the manor.

"Miss Seven You're saying Ke'er is the seventh Miss of the Xiangfu Then how could she be beaten like that Could it be that her mother is not favored, so they beat her Or does the Prime Minister have a violent tendency By the way, since she's a miss, wouldn't it be easy for you to take me in Why..." Chen Zixuan stopped talking when he saw Ke'er walking towards them.

“Mr. Chen, I'm so sorry, but the family is inconvenient today, so I'm afraid we can only reschedule our meeting. Asking you to accompany me on this trip today was a burden, and I feel really bad about it. All I can do now is thank you, Mr. Chen. If there's ever anything I can do for you in the future, please don't hesitate to ask.”

"Oh, Aier, you're here again. I didn't ask for anything in return when I helped you, and besides, I haven't really done much to help anyway! You don't have to keep thinking about repaying me. If you want to repay me, just take good care of yourself and your mother..."

Ke'er lowered her head, but Chen Zixuan saw the unwillingness in her eyes, more of it was helplessness.

Ke'er, why won't they let me in Is it necessary to come here in advance or something to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion

Ke'er hung her head and said nothing.

Chen Zixuan was frustrated, again...

"Come on, talk to me! You're making me anxious just standing there..."

"The guard said it was the young lady's orders," Twenty-Nine explained to Coralie.

"Miss Murong Yue Why Did she know I was coming today It shouldn't be, I just met Ke'er today. Could she have foreseen this…" Chen Zixuan mumbled to himself, suddenly as if he had figured something out.

"Ke'er, your injuries weren't inflicted by her, were they Is she the one who has been bullying you all this time in the manor"few steps back."Then just throw her into the river while it's still dark!" Murong Rou waved her hand impatiently."Muranghou, Muranyue, even as a ghost I won't let you off! I will come for you every ni...
