But when Zhou Qian'er ran to the punishment gate, Chen Shouye was no longer there.

She hurried towards her aunt's yard, but met Zhou halfway, and she was hurried towards the direction of the mansion.

Seeing Zhou Qian'er, Zhou's steps suddenly stopped, and his face, which had always been kind and gentle, was full of anxiousness.

"Auntie." Zhou Qian'er leaned over to salute, and before Zhou could speak, she asked anxiously: "Auntie, isn't your cousin with you?"

Zhou glanced at Zhou Qian'er and said impatiently: "Follow me."

"Auntie, we..." Although he is an aunt and nephew, Zhou Qian'er is a concubine and was not loved by Zhou before. She had been in contact with her for more than ten days when she lived in the Chen Mansion. She tried hard to pretend to be well-behaved, and her aunt was also acting kind and virtuous. She was used to Zhou's calm appearance. When she suddenly saw her so anxious, she couldn't help but feel a little more worried and curious.

"You have to go to the gate of the mansion to pick up people." Zhou explained softly and continued to move forward quickly. Zhou Qian'er followed her, but her doubts became heavier and heavier. Zhou was obviously less in a state than Zhou Qian'er. She didn't pay attention to her while walking and almost fell down. Zhou Qian'er saw it and quickly stabilized her body behind her.

"Auntie." Zhou Qian'er's doubts became even worse, but Zhou just smiled and shook her head.

When they arrived at the gate of the mansion, the magistrate Chen Jingchen was already standing there. Chen Shouye was standing beside him. The father and son were talking about something. Chen Jingchen's pale face became a little more smiling.

Such a scene of a kind father and a filial son hurt Zhou's eyes, and she couldn't help but shout, "Master."

"Madam is here." Chen Jingchen glanced at Zhou, greeted him, and continued to talk to Chen Shouye. Chen Shouye wanted to salute Zhou, but before he could turn around, Chen Jingchen said, "Your care, your mother and I know about it. There is no need to do this at the door of the house."

Zhou suppressed the anger in his heart, a little smile appeared on his face, and asked in a low voice: "Where is Shoucheng?"

"That bastard, who knows where he went to fool again? You, a mother, can't spoil him blindly, you..."

Chen Jingchen, who was in a happy mood, frowned again after hearing Zhou's words, and his brows had just been stretched, and there was a bit of helplessness in his words.

"Father, my second brother is still young, and he will become sensible when he is old." Chen Shouye quickly advised.

"I am seventeen years old, I am still ignorant. When will I be able to be sensible? You don't know this guy, every day..." Chen Jingchen said that Chen Shoucheng was full of anger. Chen Shouye wanted to persuade him but didn't know how to speak.

"Master, today is here to welcome people. Being angry is not good for your health." Zhou slowly walked to Chen Jingchen with a considerate look, calmly separated the distance between Chen Shouye and his son.

"That is your son, and I am also my son. I will discipline him well and wait for him to come back." Zhou said with a smile, and naturally stood beside Chen Jingchen.

Zhou Qian'er was very happy when she saw her aunt separating her uncle and cousin. He stood obediently next to Chen Shouye, but she didn't expect Chen Shouye to take a look at her and walked towards the other side of the gate.

"Big cousin, you..."

"Men and women are not allowed to share their feelings."

"But..." Zhou Qian'er spoke, but after she spoke, she didn't know what she was going to say.

"Miss Zhou is not young anymore, and it's better to be careful in the future. Don't go into people's yards randomly. If there are any rumors, it will not be good for anyone."

"Big cousin, I..., you know I..." Zhou Qian'er has been circling around Chen Shouye since she entered the mansion. Chen Shouye was perfunctory due to Zhou's face, which gave her an illusion that Chen Shouye had such an intention to him. However, today, he actually said such words, and he actually... The meaning of his words was that she was afraid that she would ruin his reputation.
