After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

Xiao Jinzhi looked at Yun Chen, noticed the flash of hostility in the other person's eyes, and smiled, "Is this Miss Chu's guard?"

Chu Huanyan nodded, and then said to Yun Chen: "This is His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Yun Chen has met His Highness the Crown Prince." Yun Chen bowed his head and saluted, his tone was lukewarm.

"Get up." Xiao Jinzhi looked at Yun Chen, thought for a while, and said with a smile, "Guhui will send your young lady back, you can go first."

Yun Chen stood there, not responding, but also not leaving.

"What, do you want to disobey Gu?" Xiao Jinzhi's tone was low, and suddenly there was a bit of displeasure and dignity.

Chu Huanyan frowned.

But Yunchen still didn't say a word, just raised his head and looked at Chu Huanyan.

"I only follow the lady's orders."

Xiao Jinzhi raised his eyebrows, "Miss Chu, this guard, has quite a personality."

"Your Highness, please forgive me. He has just entered the palace not long ago and doesn't know the rules yet." Chu Huanyan glanced at Yun Chen and continued to say to Xiao Jinzhi, "Since the palace's carriage has arrived, I don't dare to bother Your Highness, so I will leave first." ."

Xiao Jinzhi didn't stop him, nodded, and watched Chu Huanyan walk towards Yun Chen's carriage.

The moment Chu Huanyan passed by him, Yun Chen gently curled his lips and stretched out his hand to help Chu Huanyan get on the carriage.

"Be careful, ma'am."

Chu Huanyan didn't say anything, just opened the car curtain and walked in.

Xiao Jinzhi watched the carriage go away and spoke lazily to Qin Li.

"What do you think this Yunchen looks like?"

Qin Li thought about it for a moment and replied seriously: "With handsome appearance and extraordinary temperament, he doesn't look like an ordinary guard."

"Junyi?" Xiao Jinzhi glanced sideways at Qin Li, "You have been following Gu all day long, and you still think someone else is handsome. These eyes are really hopeless."

Qin Li: "..."

"My subordinate made a mistake. That Yun Chen is naturally not as handsome as His Highness Fengshen, who looks like an immortal."

"That's pretty much it." Xiao Jinzhi stood up straight and looked at the direction in which the carriage disappeared. Thinking of the way Yun Chen looked at Chu Huanyan just now, he felt inexplicably unhappy.

"Qin Li."

"My subordinate is here!"

"Since you think that Yunchen doesn't look like an ordinary guard, let me satisfy your curiosity. Go and find out his origins."

Qin Li: "..." Actually, he wasn't that curious.

"What, is there a problem?" Xiao Jinzhi looked at Qin Li.

Qin Li was excited and said hurriedly: "No, my subordinates will go check it out right now!"

……

At the gate of the Hou Mansion, Yun Chen stopped the carriage.

"Miss, here we are."

After Chu Huanyan got off the car, she did not enter the mansion immediately. Instead, she stood beside the carriage and looked at Yun Chen.

"Miss, what's the matter?"

"Yun Chen, I kept you in the mansion in the name of a guard, but after all, you didn't sell yourself to the Hou Mansion. If you..."

"Miss, you want to drive me away?" Yun Chen looked at Chu Huanyan, his eyes darkened instantly.

"That's not what I meant." Chu Huanyan shook her head, "I said before, unless you want to leave, no one can drive you away, and neither will I."

In the bandits' den in the previous life, after all, she owed Yun Chen the grace of saving her life. Unless Yun Chen really did something to hurt herself and the Hou Mansion, she would not drive him away.

Chu Huanyan collected her thoughts and continued: "What I mean is, if you don't mind, I can recognize you as my adopted brother and no longer stay in the Hou Mansion as a guard."

"Why?" Yun Chen looked at Chu Huanyan.

"Because...if you were just a guard of the Hou Mansion, under the circumstances just now, I would have made you kneel down in front of His Highness the Crown Prince and admit your mistake."

A mere guard from the Hou Mansion was rude to the prince. Regardless of whether Xiao Jinzhi cared about it or not, she would not let such a thing go unnoticed.

But after all, Yunchen was different from the guard. She couldn't ask him to kneel down in public.

But equally, she didn't want what happened just now to happen again.

"I don't want to." Yun Chen said in a deep voice.

"Why?" Chu Huanyan frowned, "If you are my sworn brother, although you are not blood related, you are still the master of the Hou Mansion in name. Occasionally making a slight slip of the tongue is not unforgivable."

Yunchen knelt down on one knee, lowered his head and said, "I won't do it again next time. I... don't want to be the young lady's adopted brother."

Chu Huanyan looked at Yun Chen and saw that he had a determined look on his face. After a moment, he looked away and said.

"In that case, it's up to you to get up."

"Thank you, miss." Yun Chen stood up, his eyes slightly lowered, and he looked relieved.

As soon as Chu Huanyan entered the front yard, a servant reported that the third lady was back.

"Miss, didn't you just come back from Sanchao a few days ago? Why is Miss San coming back again?" Xian Yue felt strange.

Chu Huanyan raised her eyebrows. It had only been a few days, and it seemed that Chu Wanyan could always spend money faster than she imagined.

In the lobby, Chu Wanyan paced back and forth with an anxious look on her face. When she saw Chu Huanyan coming in, she quickly stepped forward.

"Sister, you are finally back. I have been waiting for you for almost half an hour!"

"You have just gotten married. If you are not familiar with the Zhou family's affairs, what are you doing here?"

"Something big happened, that phoenix crown is fake!" Chu Wanyan said hurriedly.

"How is that possible?" Chu Huanyan asked in surprise.

"It's true! I took the phoenix crown to the pawn shop, and the people in the shop said that it was not gold at all, but gold-plated, and the ones on it were not gems, but dyed stones!" Chu Wanyan was anxious and angry. Dao Liuye's eyebrows were almost twisted together.

Chu Huanyan frowned and said, "Then go to that jewelry store and ask the shopkeeper to return it."

"I've already been there, but the shop has been closed a long time ago. I heard it was sold, but I don't know who it was sold to!"

Sold to whom? Of course he sold it to himself!

Chu Huanyan suppressed the smile in her heart and looked sad, "Then what should we do? After so long, I'm afraid the person has already disappeared without a trace."

"Sister, please think of a way quickly, that's ten thousand taels of silver!" Chu Wanyan urged urgently.

"At this point, we can only report it to the official."

"Okay!" Chu Wanyan said immediately, "Sister, please stop delaying and report it to the official. If you go to the Yamen in person, maybe you can pay more attention to it!"

"It's not impossible for me to go in person, but..." Chu Huanyan glanced at Chu Wanyan, "Once reported to the official, this matter will definitely make a fuss. By then, I'm afraid everyone in the entire imperial city will know that you bought it. I wore a fake phoenix crown all day on the wedding day..."

Chu Wanyan's face turned pale instantly.

"Alas." Chu Huanyan sighed again, "But now is not the time to talk about this. It's better to report it to the official first. Although the world is huge and we may not be able to recover it, even if there is a glimmer of hope..."

"No!" Chu Wanyan suddenly had a sharp voice, and changed her tone of approval, "I can't report it to the official. If I can't find him and cause a fuss, then I will be embarrassed and be laughed at by everyone! "
