“Your Highness, let’s go!” Xiao Liuzi stretched out his hand and pulled at Chu Liuxin’s sleeve. What was happening here was weird. Xiao Liuzi thought it was better to stay away as far away as possible from matters relating to the former emperor’s imperial concubines.

“Okay, let’s go!” Although Chu Liuxin was curious, he had no intention to stay and listen to the outcome. He turned and left with Xiao Liuzi in the direction the nun pointed at.

The nun who guarded the door heaved a sigh of relief. Though they were ordered not to let anyone in, that man was the fourth son of the Emperor. If he had insisted on going in to have a look, it would have been impossible to stop him.

It was best for him to leave now!

Checking around the area, the nun saw nothing suspicious and returned to her courtyard.

After she left, the side door opened silently. It was the nun who had cried. She stretched out her head and looked around. When she noticed Chu Liuxin who was leaving, she observed him carefully and then cautiously retracted her head.

Then, the side door was silently closed!

“Your Highness? Which Highness is this?” Her voice was so soft like the autumn breeze sweeping through the air. No one except herself, heard the sentence…

It was a small courtyard with only three rooms, which included the main room. The low wall was completely different from the high walls he had seen before. Chu Liuxin examined the courtyard in front of him suspiciously. Was this the place where Shao Wanru did her meditation? Though the Duke Xing’s Mansion no longer favored her, she was still the granddaughter of Rui’an Great Elder Princess. How could she live in such a dilapidated place?

Or was it possible that all the ladies who came here to meditate had to live in such an environment?

All of a sudden, Chu Liuxin felt that no ordinary Miss from an aristocratic family could withstand self-meditation. No wonder the ladies seldom practiced it. With such a living environment, Chu Liuxin felt that even he might not be able to survive it.

Not only was one unable to eat and sleep well, she had to be locked up all day. How could the little girl, who used to climb over the wall, bear with it? She could not have climbed over the wall at night, could she?

“Your Highness…” Xiao Liuzi called to remind him, as he stood there in silence.

“Knock on the door.” Chu Liuxin tidied his clothes and said. He had not seen that little girl for so many years. He had to leave her with a good impression now that they were meeting again.

Xiao Liuzi obeyed and went to knock on the door. After a few knocks, the door opened. Inside, a girl in a black robe looked at the master and servant outside the door in surprise.

“Who are you?”

She was a beautiful girl about 14 or 15 years old, wearing a fitting gown. Her black hair was simply tied up. At first glance, she looked identical to Shao Wanru. Even their heights were similar.

“You, we are looking for the owner of this courtyard!” Xiao Liuzi was stunned for a moment, but responded quickly and said this hurriedly.

“I am the owner of this courtyard. What can I do for you?” The girl examined the two of them vigilantly.

“You are the owner of this yard, how could you be? Where is Shao Wu? Where is she?” Chu Liuxin pushed Xiao Liuzi away and asked personally.

“I am the owner of this courtyard, and I have lived here for five years and never changed my abode. I am afraid that you two have found the wrong person!” The girl answered in displeasure. She reached out to close the door. Most of the people in the Yuhui Nunnery were women, and even if men came to offer incense, they would not come here.

Chu Liuxin reached out and stopped her from closing the door. He looked at the girl from head to toe and said, “Who are you if you are not Shao Wu’s maid? Did you claim to have lived here for five years? You are not going to say that you have lived in the mountain since you were young, are you?”

“Sir, I don’t know who Shao Wu is and I am not the servant girl as what you stated. As for what you said, believe it or not, I have lived on the mountain since young and you can ask the others in Yuhui Nunnery!” The girl answered angrily and slammed the door shut.

Chu Liuxin was caught off guard when the door closed and was forced to take a few steps back. He looked at the closed door in surprise and gasped, “She has great strength!”

Although he was caught off guard, he was still a man. The woman in the yard was really strong to be able to shut the door in his face.

But was it really not Shao Wanru who was inside? Chu Liuxin has his doubts.

He walked up to the door and thumped on it again. Then, he shouted, “Shao Wu, come out. I have something to talk to you about.”

His shouts were loud and so too was the thumping. Suddenly, the door opened. The beautiful girl inside the door stared at Chu Liuxin and said, “Sir, if you are looking for someone in here, please leave. I live here alone and the Shao Wu you are looking for is not in here.”

“I don’t believe it. I want to go in and take a look.” Chu Liuxin looked inside and saw a very simple courtyard which made him even more eager to take a look.

“What if the person you are looking for is not inside?” When she saw him sticking his head into the yard, the girl’s face turned pale and she asked furiously.

“If the person I am looking for is not inside, I will leave and never disturb you again!” Chu Liuxin answered indifferently.

His words were arrogant, but his frantic knocking on the door was indeed irritating and annoying. The girl had no choice but moved away and pointed inside. “Please leave as soon as possible after you have seen it. People who are meditating inside the mountain hate to be disturbed!”

Chu Liuxin teased her as he walked inside, “Well, well, once I have seen what I wanted, I will leave. Even if you ask me to, I will not stay. “

He was not that insane to go and meditate in the mountain for three years. If he did that, he would probably not be far from becoming a saint.

The courtyard inside was as simple as it was outside. Out of the three rooms, the door of the main room was slightly ajar. Chu Liuxin popped his head in and took a look. Then he smiled and left under the cold glares of the young girl. The two rooms on the left and right of the main room were empty, except for some junk stored there. One was like a study room and the other room could not be identified. In Chu Liuxin’s eyes, all he saw were just some junk.

There was no one in either room and only one person lived in the main room. It was obvious that the person was not Shao Wanru. He saw Shao Wanru with a servant girl just now and he had seen that servant girl before, so she could not be living with her master. Moreover, he heard that Shao Wanru brought more than one servant girl with her. Therefore, it seemed that this was not where Shao Wanru lived.

Chu Liuxin had to admit that he made a mistake, or the nun who had pointed the way for him, made a mistake.

“Are you looking for a very beautiful lady?” Seeing that Chu Liuxin was about to leave, the girl suddenly asked,

“Yes, yes, she is gorgeous, about 13 or 14 years old. Have you seen her before? She has been here for three years. You should know each other, right?”

Chu Liuxin’s hopes were revived. This time around, he was quick-witted and immediately caught the key point.

“She lives in a place far away from here, but there is a secluded room ahead and it belongs to her. I heard that she used to paint there, but she did not live there at the very beginning!” The girl told him briefly.

“Yes, yes, yes, it is her. Where is her room?” Chu Liuxin was overjoyed. Regardless of what the others might say, he just nodded repeatedly.

It had not been easy to get this information, so he must grasp the chance.

“It is in the opposite direction from where I live. If you go from here, turn left along the road. After walking for a while, turn right and you will see a big courtyard,” the young girl said.

The door was then slammed shut behind Chu Liuxin as if she was shutting out the God of Plague, but the girl did not leave. She frowned and reviewed the current situation, whether it was good or bad. In her current situation she would not let any untoward situation ruin her big plan. She hoped that she was just overthinking and that man would leave soon…

Chu Liuxin still had some questions to ask, but looking at the tightly closed door, he had no choice but to follow the direction given to find Shao Wanru.

It did not take him long this time to find the courtyard. Looking at this courtyard, Chu Liuxin felt much more assured. A courtyard this big was more in keeping with Rui’an Great Elder Princess’s work. The one just now was not up to her usual standard.

Again, Xiao Liuzi went up and knocked on the door.

When the door opened, it was Yujie who appeared. Xiao Liuzi was immediately overjoyed and said, “Master, come here. It is Fifth Miss Shao’s servant girl, come and see!”

Chu Liuxin strode over and saw Yujie dressed in a black robe at the door. He laughed in satisfaction.

Looking at the master and servant who were laughing happily at the door, Yujie was initially stunned, then she became expressionless. She looked at them, poker-faced, until the master and servant stopped laughing.

No one could continue laughing if he was being stared at and considered a fool.

When they stopped laughing, Yujie turned to Chu Liuxin and bowed, “What can I do for you, Prince Xin?”

“Is your Miss inside?” Chu Liuxin stretched his head out and wanted to look inside, but he was blocked by Yujie. “Miss is inside. She is now in self-meditation and it is not inconvenient for her to see the Prince!”

“Why is she meditating? She is not going to be a nun. I have something for her!” Chu Liuxin said carelessly.

“Your Highness, please leave. Our Miss is inside, doing her meditation and it is inconvenient for her to meet guests!” Yujie reminded him again.

“I know that she is in meditation. Even a nun has two or three old friends who come to visit, how could she not? Get out of the way, get out, it has not been easy for me to locate your Miss.”

Chu Liuxin said impatiently and was about to barge in. Yujie wanted to stop him but Shao Wanru’s voice drifted out, “Yujie, stand aside and let Prince Xin in!”

There, in the corridor, stood Shao Wanru. She wore a plain and loose robe that flattered her porcelain skin and gorgeous appearance. Just now, Chu Liuyue was too far away to see her clearly. However, now that he saw Shao Wanru, who was standing in the corridor, he saw her charming yet seductive temperament clearly. Her cherry-like lips were naturally red and glossy and her eyes were as deep as the ocean. He staggered and his heartbeat accelerated.

He was truly amazed by Shao Wanru’s beauty.

He had long known that Shao Wanru’s beauty would blossom when she grew up, but knowing was one thing, what he saw was another. Prince Xin felt that the weather was too hot. It was only autumn and already so hot. This was not a good sign. Was the autumn season going to be this hot the whole time?

That’s not good, really not good!
