Freeloading

"I'm alright. I'm not very tired." After Chi Yang replied, she casually found a chair and sat down. However, she did not know what the etiquette of the ancients should be like. She felt that it was inappropriate to place her hands anywhere.

"Chi…"

Chi Yang looked up in surprise at Xiao Lianyi, who was covering her smile.

Beautiful smile, beautiful eyes.

To be able to marry such a beauty like Xiao Lianyi, her father, Chi Yi, must have something up his sleeves.

"Yangyang is still the same as when she was young. She hasn't changed at all." Xiao Lianyi smiled as she looked at Qing Zhu. She wanted to gain some recognition from the other lady.

Qing Zhu nodded with a smile.

"When I was young?" Chi Yang was curious.

Although she had transmigrated and obtained the original owner's memories, she did not have any memories before she was five years old. Moreover, some of the memories, after she was five years old, did not match her name.

"Yeah, you never sat still when you were a kid. You had to move your arms and hands…" After Xiao Lianyi finished speaking, she thought of something else, "Oh right, I also ordered someone to bring your favorite rose crisp. Try it."

Qing Zhu took out the rose crisp from the lunchbox and placed it on the coffee table beside Chi Yang. Afraid that Chi Yang would choke, she even handed her some tea.

In her memory, Chi Yang lived a poor life. Although her adoptive parents did not have a bad life, they preferred sons over daughters. If there was anything good, they would always give them to their younger brother.

This rose crisp must have been the Host's favorite before she went missing.

But surprisingly, it was the same as her preference.

"Thank you, Mother, and thank you, Aunt Qingzhu!"

Chi Yang thanked them with a smile and picked up a piece of rose crisp to eat.

The rose crispy pastry was just right, not too sweet, and mixed with the fragrance of a rose, it was very suitable to Chi Yang's palette.

Xiao Lianyi looked at Chi Yang, who was enjoying her meal, and her eyes couldn't help but redden.

If Yangyang had not gone missing, she would have been like this for the past ten years.

Seeing that the Eldest Princess was about to cry, Qing Zhu quickly interrupted, "Your Highness, we still have important matters to attend to."

Xiao Lianyi came back to her senses and wiped her eyes with a handkerchief. She then looked down at the little servant girl who was still kneeling on the floor.

The maids in the courtyard were all chosen by Yangyang herself after she came back. She had thought that she would pick more suitable ones, but she did not expect these servants to neglect Yangyang so much. Some even betrayed their masters.

Yangyang had never learned how to discipline servants, so she was the only mother who could do this.

"Xiao Cui! Who gave you this silver?"

Chi Yang, who was eating happily, nodded lightly. So the little servant girl was called Xiao Cui.

Xiao Cui didn't expect things to go south like this. If she was handed over to the Eldest Princess, she would probably die.

Xiao Cui endured the pain in her knees and crawled to Chi Yang's feet, pleading, "Miss, Xiao Cui knows her mistake. Little Cui won't dare to do it again. Please spare Xiao Cui!"

Chi Yang, who was interrupted from eating her snacks, looked down at Xiao Cui.

Well... She was a beauty.

Like pear blossoms that were drenched in rain, nothing more.

But...

"I'm not the one interrogating you."

What a joke! With professionals working for you, shouldn't you rest well? Moreover, there were such delicious desserts in front of the table.

Thus, Chi Yang turned her head and focused on eating the rose crisp.

When Xiao Lianyi and Qing Zhu heard this, they both heaved a sigh of relief.

If Chi Yang spoke up for Xiao Cui, that would be as if slapping Xiao Lianyi in the face.

Xiao Cui didn't expect Chi Yang to say such a thing. She sat on the ground, paralyzed. She was really done for.

No!

She still had her brother and mother to feed. She could not die!

Thinking of this, Xiao Cui hurriedly got up and kowtowed to Xiao Lianyi, "Eldest Princess, I will tell you everything. I will tell you everything."

"This ingot of silver was given to me by the young miss. Her personal maid Liu Li asked me to secretly observe the second miss' words and actions yesterday."

"I agreed because my mother was sick and urgently needed money. Your Highness, please forgive me this time.."

The "Dong Dong" sound made Chi Yang feel a faint pain in her forehead.
