Protagonist:

Yan Qianqian

Thus, her care for Qianqian became increasingly meticulous, and she resolved to spend her life protecting Qianqian, no matter what happened, she would stay with the young miss.

Hongdou happily went to Qianqian's courtyard, preparing to help her pack her luggage.

As for Qianqian at this time, she knew nothing of all this. The other yatou and servants in the courtyard, ever since Qianqian moved in, had never once been subjected to Qianqian's bullying.

On the contrary, as long as someone performed well at work, Qianqian would always give rewards.

Everyone felt Qianqian was a master extremely easy to serve, very satisfied with their current work, and naturally all served wholeheartedly.

After Ouyang Chengren left, Qianqian silently thought alone.

She realized that returning home this time might be a rare opportunity that must not be easily missed.

However, she also clearly knew that she was very likely to become Ouyang Chengren's soft spot.

After all, someone as sinister and cunning as Ouyang Chengqi would very likely use her to threaten Ouyang Chengren. In that case, her trip this time was indeed full of danger.

Despite this, Qianqian was not consumed by fear. She calmly analyzed the situation and thought of countermeasures.

Finally, Qianqian ordered Hongdou to tidy the Qiji Garden for her to pack luggage, while she also packed things she would carry on her person: poison prepared by Yan Jie for Qianqian, Hundred Poisons Invulnerability Pills given by Liu Yeye of the Dark Guard Camp, and some hidden weapons.

Qianqian hid all these things on her person, again fearing she might have missed some important items.

After a while, Hongdou walked over and asked softly: "Young Miss, everything is packed, is there anything else to bring?"

Qianqian quickly nodded and said: "Yes, yes!"

Hongdou was somewhat puzzled and asked further: "What things?"

Qianqian answered with a beaming smile: "My picture books, to read when bored on the road."

Hongdou suddenly understood and then asked: "Then which ones to bring?"

Qianqian thought for a moment and said: "Go to the Shufang and take a look, take several more."

No sooner had she finished speaking than she impatiently strode out of the room, and Hongdou, seeing this, hurriedly followed behind her.

The two entered the Shufang, and Qianqian went straight to the bookshelf. Standing before the bookshelf, she carefully selected picture books, handing each one she picked up to Hongdou behind her, muttering: "This one too, this one too, and this one..."

Hongdou silently took the books Qianqian handed her, stacking them one by one.

Before long, the books in Hongdou's arms were piled as high as a small hill, even blocking her line of sight.

However, Qianqian completely failed to notice Hongdou's situation and continued to focus on selecting picture books.

Until a book fell to the ground with a "pa" sound, making a crisp noise, did Qianqian get startled and quickly turn her head.

When she saw that large stack of books in Hongdou's arms,

Qianqian complained with a full face of annoyance: "So many books, you can barely hold them, why didn't you make a sound!"

While speaking, she quickly reached out to take the books from the other's hands, then carefully and neatly arranged them on the table.

Hongdou explained somewhat wronged: "There really are too many, I dare not move around, afraid that if I move they would all fall down."

After hearing this, Qianqian showed a trace of guilt on her face and quickly said: "Aiya, it's my fault, I was too absorbed in taking books just now and completely failed to notice you."

Hongdou hurriedly shook her head and answered understandingly: "It's all right, Young Miss. It's just that do all these books need to be taken away together?"

Qianqian looked at the pile of more than twenty books stacked like a hill on the table, thought for a moment, and then said: "Chunding City probably sells picture books too, so let's bring fewer, just enough to read on the road."

Hongdou nodded and then asked: "Then specifically which ones to bring?"

Qianqian thought for a moment and answered: "Let me choose." After speaking, she plopped down on the chair and began to carefully choose.

After careful selection, Qianqian finally chose seven or eight books she particularly wanted to read and placed them on the other side of the table.

Seeing this, Hongdou asked curiously: "Young Miss, just bring these few?"

Qianqian still held two other books in her hand, seeming somewhat hesitant. She agonized for a while, and finally reluctantly put down those two books, saying: "Mm, just these few."

After hearing Qianqian's instruction, Hongdou quickly took action. She skillfully walked to the bookshelf and neatly packed the picture books to be taken into a small baofu.

These picture books were Qianqian's most treasured possessions, and Qianqian had not even read them yet. Hongdou carefully wrapped them up, as if they were the most precious treasures in the world.

While tidying the bookshelf, Hongdou's gaze happened to fall on those two books that had made Qianqian agonize.

She couldn't help but think of how Qianqian had paced back and forth hesitating before these two books just now. However, after a brief consideration, Hongdou still decided to put those two books into the small baofu.

At the same time, Qianqian sat quietly at the writing desk, watching Hongdou's busy figure.

Her thoughts had long since drifted away, and various possibilities of going to Chunding City kept appearing in her mind.

This journey was full of unknowns and uncertainties for Qianqian. She did not know what awaited her, feeling both anticipation and worry in her heart.

Time quietly passed during Qianqian's contemplation. The next morning, sunlight streamed through the window into the room, gilding everything in warm gold.

Qianqian had slept a little late because of last night's thoughts and was still immersed in sweet dreams at this moment. However, Hongdou had long been up; she had not only ordered the kitchen staff to prepare a sumptuous breakfast but also arranged everything in perfect order, waiting only for Qianqian to wake up and enjoy it.

Finally, Qianqian slowly woke from her sleep, stretched lazily, and then slowly put on her clothing.

When she called for Hongdou, Hongdou immediately came in carrying a basin of warm face-washing water.

Hongdou attentively served Qianqian washing up, then began to comb her hair.

Considering they might need to hurry the carriage on the road later, Hongdou specially combed a simple hair bun for Qianqian, so that even if Qianqian wanted to nap a while in the carriage, her hair would not get in the way.

Qianqian had always been careless about hairstyles and naturally had no objections. Then she saw Linglong come in carrying breakfast.

The breakfast was not varied: simply crystal diejiao, spinach meat floss rolls, a small bowl of white radish pickles, and a bowl of steaming hot red bean porridge.

Qianqian had just woken up and was still groggy. She lazily propped her chin with her hand, slowly picked up chopsticks with her right hand, picked up a diejiao, put it in her mouth, and chewed slowly.

Half-asleep as she was, she completely failed to notice Ouyang Chengren had already walked in. Ouyang Chengren stood at the men kou, quietly watching Qianqian. Seeing her hair somewhat loose and disheveled, it instead added a languid beauty to her, making one unable to resist wanting to draw near her.
