Chapter 9 Awakening

  After Chu Guifang returned home, she felt uncomfortable in her heart no matter how she thought about it. She handed over the clothes to her elder sister who was busy sewing and ran wildly towards the riverbank. Unexpectedly, what she saw was the scene of her brother kneeling by the river.

  "Brother, why are you kneeling here? Get up quickly, soon the sun will shine over and there won't be any shade left, people can get heatstroke!" Chu Guihua said while stretching out her hand to pull Chu Yan up.

  Ke Chu spoke up and stopped Ke Gui Hua's action, saying: "Gui Hua, it's hot outside, you go back first! Brother promised that gentleman to kneel until sunset. When the sun sets, brother will naturally get up."

  One must be honest and trustworthy in all dealings, this is what Chu Li Shou and Mo Shi have taught their children since they were young.

  After hearing this, Chu Guihua couldn't help but feel a wave of suffocation and hastily explained: "Brother, I didn't provoke that whatever dog fart young master, it was he who inexplicably came to find trouble with me. Brother, I wasn't wrong at all, you don't need to kneel here either!"

  "Crown Prince?" Chu Yan was taken aback and hastily asked: "Gui Hua, who was that gentleman just now?"

  "What's this nonsense about Ling Shizi! And it was that man who caught me who said it!" Chu Guihua tried to pull up Chu Yanian, but couldn't, so she sat down beside him with a plop. "Brother, we really didn't do anything wrong, hurry up and get up!"

  At this time, Chu Yan couldn't listen to anything else, he felt a wave of relief that he had just driven away Gui Hua, if his own sister continued to make trouble, wouldn't the entire Chu family suffer the consequences if they angered the young master?

  Sitting back beside Chu Yan Nian, Gui Hua thought about what had just happened and suddenly felt a strange sense of fear.

  I'm such a good kid, how could I have forgotten that we're living in a feudal society now?

  Crown Prince... what kind of position can be considered as Crown Prince?

  It doesn't matter what position it is, anyway this official is definitely someone you can't afford to offend.

  "Osmanthus..."

  "Brother..."

  The two siblings tacitly spoke in unison, their eyes looking at each other with the same gaze.

  "You go first, I'll speak after you're done." Chu Yan Nian was always doting on his own younger sister, so he naturally let her speak first.

  Chu Guihua didn't mince words either. Over the past month, she had grown accustomed to having this little brother dote on her. As soon as she opened her mouth, she began saying what she wanted to say: "Brother, today's incident was my fault. No matter who the other person is, just by looking at their clothes and attire, I knew they were not someone we could mess with. If it weren't for you being there today, Guihua might have gotten into big trouble and maybe even dragged our Chu family into it. Brother, rest assured, Guihua won't make this kind of mistake again."

  These words were spoken by Chu Guihua from the bottom of her heart. Although she didn't like the current Chu family, there were parents and siblings in this Chu family who had already taken a place in her heart. Even if it was just for their sake, Guihua felt that she shouldn't have been so reckless just now.

  After listening to Guihua's words, Chuyan Nian was stunned instead.

  He had just wanted to tell Guihua that she couldn't be so reckless in the future, or else the consequences would be unthinkable. Now it seemed like his own words had been said by Guihua first.

  "Brother, it's your turn now." The Osmanthus fragrans reminded with "good intentions".

  Actually, just now from Chu Yan Nian's eyes, Gui Hua had already thought of what he wanted to say to himself, now that he has said everything, his own brother would naturally be stunned.
