Chapter 333 The Republic of China's Double Detectives 7

But this child might not have come to deliver more than just something. Huang Muyan thought to herself, then looked at the 13-year-old boy who was nibbling on dragon beard candy, wondering what to ask him. "Don't ask me what kind of person I like again."

Huang Muyan opened the three solid wood boxes and looked inside. One box contained a pair of high-quality icy jadeite bracelets with floating flowers, another contained a gold hairpin, and the third contained a pair of gold earrings. It was clear that the Fourth Madam had gone to great lengths.

Huang Muyan thought for a moment, then took out all the ornaments and put them into a relatively light wooden box. Looking back at the little maid, she saw that she had already eaten all the dragon beard candy.

"Thank you, Miss." Lu Renkui finished eating the dragon beard candy and quickly said when she saw Huang Muyan looking at her.

"No need to thank me," Huang Muyan waved her hand, then asked the young girl, "Besides asking you to bring me these things, does Fourth Madam have any other message to convey?"

"Hmm, Fourth Madam asked me to ask how your grades are? Are you doing well at the school?" Knowing that Huang Muyan probably didn't want to hear about her fiancé or anything like that, Lu Renkui didn't relay Shui Qiu's words to her directly, but instead asked Huang Muyan about her life at the school.

Hearing that the girl in front of her didn't ask what kind of girl she liked, but instead asked about the school first, Huang Muyan was slightly surprised. She replied, "I'm doing quite well at school. I have two or three good friends; my grades are also pretty good. My teacher said that if nothing unexpected happens, I can get the opportunity to study abroad."

“Oh, okay,” Lu Renkui nodded, “Then I’ll go back and tell Fourth Madam that.”

"Okay, wait a minute, take this." Huang Muyan said as she picked up her light wood box containing the jewelry and placed it in the hands of the little girl in front of her. "Is this heavy?"

Seeing the little girl in front of her shake her head, Huang Muyan continued, "Give this to Fourth Madam and tell her that I really like the things she sent, but I'm busy with my studies and these things are just a burden to me. Tell her not to send any more."

"Yes." Lu Renkui bowed slightly, lowered his head, and slightly bent his knees to give Huang Muyan a greeting.

"Oh, right, there's no one around here. From now on, if no one else is around, don't call me 'Little Miss,' just call me Sister Huang." Huang Muyan patted the little girl's head and asked, "What's your name?"

“Replying to Miss… no, Sister Huang, my name is Guixi,” Lu Renkui answered honestly.

"This shouldn't be your real name, right?" Huang Muyan said, picking out a small piece of candy and stuffing it into Lu Renkui's mouth, who was inside Mu Wanqing's body. "What was your original name?"

"Ah, I don't know, I only remember my brother calling me Xiao Wan." Lu Renkui maintained the persona of Mu Wanqing, who didn't know her real name because she had been away from her parents for a long time.

"Alright, Xiao Wan, do you want to come here?" Huang Muyan smoothed the hair of the girl named Xiao Wan in front of her with her hand. Her aunts were all more difficult to deal with than the last, her biological mother was no pushover either, and her old, frail father was a lecher. If such a young child stayed in the fourth wife's room all the time, who knows what might happen.

"It all depends on Sister Huang's idea." Lu Renkui was delighted to hear this, but she still had to maintain Mu Wanqing's persona.

"Okay, you can go back now." Huang Muyan patted "Xiao Wan's" head again, then pointed to the door, indicating that "Xiao Wan" should go back.

Lu Renkui held the wooden box, her heart filled with joy—finally, she no longer had to worry about being noticed by that master, and could start preparing her escape plan.
