After going through the plan over and over in her mind and finding that it was generally correct, Yang Zhen no longer had any thoughts of continuing to deal with Zhou Yuan and returned directly to Zhao Mansion.
Zhou Yuan did not follow him back home, otherwise his intention would have been too obvious. He gave up tracking Yang Zhen at the entrance of Baiyun Lane and left on his own.
The first thing Yang Zhen did when she returned to the house was to find her grandmother.
When I arrived at Ziqiang Courtyard, I saw the grandma, madam, Caiyan Caiyun and Zhao Yueer all in the room.
The little girl was held in her arms by her grandma and rubbed hard until her hair was rubbed like a chicken coop.
"I've reached the fifth level of Qi training so quickly. In a few years, I'll catch up with grandma. If you don't bully me now, you won't have the chance in the future!"
Grandma smiled maliciously, and the two maids next to her also covered their mouths and chuckled. Qin Wan watched all this happily.
The little girl screamed and struggled desperately, but to no avail.
When she found Yang Zhen coming in, she seemed to have grasped at straws and shouted: "Brother Shitou, come and save me!"
Yang Zhen clasped her fists in salute, shouted loudly, and raised her fist to hit her grandma on the arm.
He used pure physical force. In front of the Foundation Establishment Perfection monks, his cultivation level is simply not enough, so he might as well not use it.
Grandma didn't move at all, nor did she use any magic power, just letting him hit her arm with his fist.
"Ouch!" She showed a surprised expression: "The brute strength is much greater than before!"
She turned to look at Yang Zhen: "That [Five Elements Body Training Technique], have you been practicing it, right?"
Yang Zhen nodded honestly. Grandma has seen this technique before and knows that it can be practiced all the way to the spiritual stage.
"This technique is indeed very powerful," grandma praised, and then sighed: "It just costs too much spiritual stone."
With such skill, Zhao Yue'er had broken free from her clutches, her face was red, and she looked at her grandma angrily.
"Hey, I'm angry!" Grandma didn't take it seriously. She straightened the little girl's hair with a smile, and then hugged her in her arms: "I haven't seen my Yue'er in almost a year. Grandma wants to You!"
Zhao Yue'er's eyes, which had been angry just now, suddenly turned red, and she cried, "Yue'er wants to be a nanny too!"
At this time, the eyes of the lady next to her also turned red, and the two maids silently wiped away their tears.
Yang Zhen touched her nose awkwardly, feeling that she came at the wrong time.
After a while, grandma pulled Yang Zhen to her side and looked at it carefully: "Hey, look at our little stone. He is also one year older!"
Yang Zhen looked at her beautiful and caring face and couldn't help but feel a little sour.
"Mommy." He called out in a low voice, paused, and then greeted Madam Caiyan.
During this year in the sect, except for the time when he returned to Xuyang in March, he came back to Zhao's house three times. They were all in silence, trying not to disturb the Zhao family.
He didn't know if grandma knew all this, and he couldn't help feeling a little ashamed at this time.
After a while, he finally made his intention clear:
"That Zhou Yuan, I feel like he's sneaky."
"Oh, what's going on?" Grandma looked serious.
"I can't explain it, I just feel it." Yang Zhen spread her hands.
He was applying eye drops in advance and of course he would not provide any evidence.
"Children, don't talk nonsense." Grandma scolded softly.
"Yes." Yang Zhen lowered her head and responded, then asked: "Mommy, when will we return to Changshan?"
"The day after tomorrow, the New Year's Day, it's the same as usual."
"Well, should we take the teleportation array or the flying boat?" Yang Zhen continued to ask.
"With so many people here, and Yue'er's grandfather here, he must be on a flying boat!"
"Oh, that Zhou Yuan won't also go to Changshan with us, will he?"
"This..." Mammy said hesitantly: "Grandpa Yue'er will make arrangements."
Well, Yang Zhen's goal has been achieved.
He stayed in the house for a while and secretly gave Zhao Yue'er a hint when he went out.
What he didn't know was that shortly after he left, his wife called the maid who was serving Zhou Yuan and asked her what the guests had asked her in the past two days.
The maid's name was Caidian. After listening to Madam's questions, she replied that Zhou Yuan had asked her some questions, such as how long the Zhao family had been on this mountain, whether you were a member of the Zhao family, and when Yang Xiaolangjun came to Zhao. Home, etc.
"The madam had previously told the slave not to talk nonsense, so the slave ignored him." Caidian said at last.
"Well, you did a good job. When this is over, you will be rewarded." Madam praised her and asked her to go back and continue to serve Zhou Yuan. It doesn't matter if he answers some insignificant questions.
After Caidian went down, Madam and Nanny looked at each other, neither of them saying anything.
…
As for Zhao Yue'er, after receiving Yang Zhen's hint, she took Caiyun back to Shuihengyuan less than a quarter of an hour later and found Yang Zhen.
"Little Shitou," the little girl asked enthusiastically, "What do you want from me?"
Yang Zhen pulled the two girls into the room and whispered: "I want you to do something for me..."
He began to describe the plans he had thought up on the way.
"Why do you do this?" Before Yang Zhen could finish her words, the little girl had already jumped up: "Caisi..."
"Shh-" Yang Zhen quickly covered her mouth: "Listen to me."
"I went out this morning, and that Zhou Yuan was following me secretly." He looked serious.
He couldn't tell his grandma about this, otherwise she would definitely wonder why they were following him.
But telling the little girl is different. On the one hand, the two of them are closer and can share some secrets. On the other hand, the little girl has full trust in him, so some things don't need to be explained too much.
For example, the little girl immediately asked: "Why is he following you?"
Yang Zhen spread her hands and said that she didn't know anything.
"How did you find out that he was following you?" The little girl asked the next question.
After all, the other party is a foundation-building monk. If he follows him for a period of Qi training and is noticed by him, it will be ridiculous.
"I went to Uncle Wu to buy sesame cakes today," Yang Zhen explained: "He later told me that after I left, a man came to him to ask about me. I heard him describe the man's appearance, which was very similar to Zhou Yuan. "
He could only tell Zhao Yue'er this, but he couldn't help but think about it with his mama and his wife.
The little girl believed it immediately, with an angry expression on her face.
"I'll tell grandpa." She turned around and walked out.
"Don't!" Yang Zhen quickly grabbed her and said, "Mommy criticized me just now. This Zhou Yuan is your grandfather's confidant. Let's not talk nonsense without evidence."
"We can call that Uncle Wu over to confront him!"
"No!" Yang Zhen was really afraid that she would be more serious: "Not to mention that Uncle Wu is just a mortal, why let him get involved in our affairs. Even if Zhou Yuan admits that he is inquiring about my affairs, so what? Is this enough to Want to drive him away?"
"Then what are you going to do?" the little girl asked.
"That's why I asked you to cooperate with me!" Yang Zhen continued the statement just now and told the follow-up of the plan.
