C59 (2/2)
After casually strolling around for another two rounds, and seeing that it was already past lunchtime, Chu Yuehua brought Du Ruo out of the main entrance of the White Horse Temple.
He sat in the carriage and waited. Soon, he saw that the Luo Family's carriage had also come out. He greeted the carriage driver and followed.
Although the White Horse Temple was in the suburbs, there was still a stretch of road that was not very smooth. Just after walking there for a while, the carriage in front of them started to feel a bit strange.
”Now is the time. We will naturally move forward a bit.”
As expected, the carriage driver listened to her words and approached her.
When there was still a shooting point, the carriage in front stopped, and Chu Yuehua could clearly see that the axle was broken.
Afterwards, Miss Luo came down from the carriage. Who knew that her dress was hanging on a protruding piece of wood at the side of the carriage. Immediately, a piece of wood was torn off.
Chu Yuehua alighted from the carriage and asked kindly, ”Is there anything inconvenient about it?”
Because they were halfway down the road, Miss Luo didn't have the time to put on her hat. When she saw that the person who came was a young master, her face blushed a little, but when she saw that he looked one or two years younger than her, she felt slightly relieved.
Plus, after seeing him argue with the middle-aged scholar, he knew in his heart that he wasn't a bad person, so he didn't run away immediately. He only said with embarrassment, ”Thank you for your concern. The car is broken!”
Chu Yuehua looked at her surroundings, and said: ”Miss's dress is torn, it's not a good idea to stand here. If you don't mind, you can ride back with me! I just so happen to have a clothing store that can help Miss out. This time, I'm heading into the shop. ”
Hearing this, Miss Luo's expression changed. She frowned and said angrily: ”What are you saying? Men and women are different. Moreover, you and I are not related so how can we ride together?”
When Miss Luo's maidservant heard her young miss' words, she hurriedly protected her behind her and looked at Chu Yuehua with an expression of vigilance.
Hearing this, Chu Yuehua was stunned. She actually forgot for a moment that she was dressed like a man.
Du Ruo hurried forward and greeted him with a blessing, ”Miss has misunderstood, this … This is our young lady! ”
Her voice was naturally different. After all, she was already fifteen years old, so her voice was different.
A trace of awkwardness was revealed on Chu Yuehua's face as she smiled and said, ”I was originally carrying my family members when I came out, so …”
”Pfft …” Seeing how small her ears were, Miss Luo finally believed her. She couldn't help but laugh, ”You really tricked me.”
Listening to her words, Chu Yuehua knew that she wasn't just someone who followed the old ways. Inwardly, she had a good impression of her. Chu Yuehua laughed, ”Then can we go together?”
Miss Luo looked a little embarrassed. She smiled and said, ”Thank you, sister.”
In the carriage, the two of them exchanged identities.
Naturally, she was Grand Preceptor Luo's granddaughter, Miss Roland. If it weren't for her, Chu Yuehua wouldn't have put so much effort.
As for Chu Yuehua herself, she didn't mention that she was the young mistress of the loyal marquis' house; she only said that she was from the south and was born in a merchant's family. She now owned a clothing store in the capital and had been living there all these years.
Roland didn't ask any further questions and instead smiled: ”Originally, I thought you were a twelve or thirteen year old little gongzi, but now I see that you are a talented person. Who would have thought that you would actually be a girl, I really admire you.”
