Zhou Jin was stunned and heard that someone was coming. The man had already arrived at the corridor outside the house and was about to get up, but Xu Shu was moving faster than him. She quickly loosened her hair bun, took off her coat and threw it aside, pulled the quilt to cover herself, and only one head was exposed. When she turned her head, she saw Zhou Jin still stunned by the bed, and she growled, "Why don't you leave quickly!" If she doesn't leave, she will be caught in a straight face.

When Xu Shu heard the sound of the door of the main house being pushed open, she was anxious, "It's too late! Hidden! Hide... hide!" In the end, Xu Shu wanted to throw Zhou Jin out of the house.

"Where to hide?" Xu Shu was so anxious that Zhou Jin seemed a little panicked, and she felt embarrassed to be caught. Even when life and death were at stake, her heartbeat did not be so fast.

"Whatever!" Xu Shu was so panicked that she didn't care about Zhou Jin. Listening to the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer, Xu Shu realized that it was Mrs. Zheng Si's footsteps. It was Mrs. Zheng Si who came. She immediately put down the tent, closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.

She couldn't imagine that there was a man in her room by Mrs. Zheng Si. Even if Mrs. Zheng Si's love for her would not do anything to her, she would be ashamed. She really felt sorry for Mrs. Zheng Si's love for her wholeheartedly.

Seeing that Xu Shu ignored her, Zhou Jin glanced at the bed, then looked at the bottom of the bed covered by the curtain, and finally made a choice.

When he arrived at the door of the inner room, Mrs. Zheng Si stopped hurriedly, took a breath, calmed down, and gently pushed open the door. The room was dark. Mrs. Zheng Si walked to Xu Shu's bed in the moonlight, gently lifted up the tent. Seeing Xu Shu breathing evenly in the quilt, Mrs. Zheng Si breathed a sigh of relief, and still called out softly, "Xiao Jiu?"

Xu Shu opened her eyes in response, looking sleepy, "Mother? Why is Mother here?" Xu Shu immediately raised her head, grabbed the little jacket beside her and put it on, and Mrs. Zheng Si gave the cloak to Xu Shu again.

"I'll see you!" Mrs. Zheng Si chuckled and rolled up the tent, sat down beside the bed, and helped Xu Shu clean her sleepy hair bun.

"When is it?" Xu Shu asked while instructing someone to take the lights.

Mrs. Zheng Si said, "It's already three minutes!"

"It's still so early? Didn't my mother go to see the lantern festival? Why did she come back so early? The streets must be very lively today!" Xu Shu yawned, looking like she was sleepy. Although it was common sense that this time was getting late, but today is the Spring Festival. People in the city were attracted by the lively lantern festival and there was no curfew. There were many people all night long, so it was indeed too early to come back at this time.

"If something happens, come back first!" Mrs. Zheng Si sighed, "After coming back, I think you are staying in the house alone today, so I will come to see you! Fortunately, I didn't take you there today!" Mrs. Zheng Si was very glad. If Xu Shu also went there, if today's chaos affects Xu Shu, Mrs. Zheng Si would regret it.

"What happened?" Xu Shujiu asked casually without knowing it.

Mrs. Zheng Si shook her head and sighed, "It's all bad things. It's just that you'll get dirty if you say it. It's okay if you don't know! But in the future, you must stay away from Sister Li!"

Xu Shu was shocked. Could it be that Mrs. Zheng Si also knew that Zheng Wanli had taken action today?

"Sister Li is already unreasonable... If you see her in the future, you will walk around!" Mrs. Zheng Si reminded.

"Okay!" Xu Shu nodded.

"Good boy!" Mrs. Zheng Si touched Xu Shu's head, and suddenly felt something. She took it down and saw that it turned out to be a pearl flower.

Xu Shu's face turned red when she saw Zhuhua. She had just taken off her makeup in a hurry, but the jewelry on her head was unable to be taken off.

Mrs. Zheng Si shook her head and laughed, "Yuzhu and Yinzhi are not here, so you will go to bed with carelessness!" Mrs. Zheng Si handed the Zhuhua to Yuzhu, "Take it and put it away!"

Yuzhu reached out to pick it up, but accidentally dropped the bead flower on the ground. The light in the house was not good. After the bead flower fell on the ground, it was instantly invisible. Mrs. Zheng Si immediately ordered, "Go and get the lamp to look for it!"

Yuzhu went away, and Mrs. Zheng Si lowered her head and wanted to lift the bed curtain, "Where can this fall?"

Xu Shu suddenly exclaimed, "Ouch!"

Mrs. Zheng Si immediately stood up, "What's wrong?"

Xu Shu took off a hairpin from her head in embarrassment, "It seems there is still!"

Mrs. Zheng Si shook her head and called Yuzhu, "Hurry up and take off all the hair buns for your lady, how can you sleep peacefully with the jewelry on your end!"

Yuzhu combed Xu Shu's hair again and took off all the hair accessories that Xu Shu missed. Mrs. Zheng Si checked it again and confirmed that there was no missing. Then she waved her hand to let Yuzhu retreat. When Yuzhu retreated, she also brought Xu Shu's clothes that were scattered by the bed.

Seeing the bed in a mess, Mrs. Zheng Si couldn't help but sort out the quilts stacked together while she said helplessly, "You are also very careful on weekdays, why are you so careless today? What if you are hurt by the gold and silver wires on the beads?"

Xu Shu lie, "I was so sleepy when I read the book, so I had no intention of caring about these things. I just wanted to rest quickly!"

"Then you go to bed quickly. I'm back too. I'm just here to see you!" Mrs. Zheng Si patted Xu Shu on the shoulder, and after watching Xu Shu lie down, she reminded Yin Zhi and Yuzhu, "Today your lady is willing to go out to watch the lantern festival. This is a great grace. You must remember it in your heart and serve with your heart!"

Yuzhu Yinzhi responded in unison, "I will definitely serve Miss Jiu with all my heart and dare not be tired and lazy!"

Mrs. Zheng Si nodded and then went out. Yuzhu Yinzhi tucked the quilt for Xu Shu, then blew out the lamp in front of the bed, took the lamp on the table and went out. When she went out, she found Mrs. Zheng Si was still standing at the door. Yuzhu couldn't help but ask, "Why haven't Madam..."

"Shh!" Mrs. Zheng Si raised her fingers and then put her ears against the door, as if she was about to listen to the movements in the room. Seeing that Yuzhu was still holding a lamp in her hand, she quickly blew it out, and waved her hand again, signaling them to retreat.

Yuzhu was very curious and looked at Yinzhi, not daring to stop Mrs. Zheng Si, nor could she remind Xu Shu, but she didn't know what Mrs. Zheng Si wanted to listen to such an eavesdrop.

Not long after, there was a rustling sound in the room, as if it was the sound of fabric rubbing, and then footsteps were heard, and there were even whispers. Mrs. Zheng Si could no longer help it, so she opened the door and went in.

Xu Shu was standing by the table wearing a wardrobe, holding a teacup to drink water. When she saw Mrs. Zheng Si who suddenly pushed the door in, she was surprised and said, "Why is my mother back?"
