Early October, deep autumn has arrived.
Bai Zhi’er, with nothing to do, chose a day when the weather was pleasant to inspect the construction progress at Fengchao Mansion.
"Don’t place this here, it’ll trip the students!"
The little girl pointed to two pots of decorative kumquat trees beside the steps under the corridor.
The housekeeper behind her quickly commanded the servants, "Move them away quickly!"
After that, the housekeeper rubbed his hands, his beard splitting into two with a grin.
"Princess, please calm down. These kumquat trees are auspicious and are placed on either side of the steps; logically speaking, they shouldn’t trip anyone."
Bai Zhi’er puffed her cheeks, her round and pink face full of spirit.
"You don’t understand, so bookworms carry scrolls and barely look at the road!"
With that, she mimicked holding a book, shaking her head as if reading, and walked two steps forward.
Bai Zhi’er pointed at her feet, "Look, accidentally veering off, wouldn’t you just trip?"
The housekeeper was stunned, quickly smiling apologetically, "The Princess is right, it’s my oversight!"
Bai Zhi’er snorted, "Let’s go, let’s check over there."
The housekeeper followed behind her, a sinister look flashed in his eyes.
The master said, as long as sothing happens to Princess Cuicuo, then the construction at Fengchao Mansion will definitely stop!
The housekeeper took a round pebble out of his sleeve.
He seized the opportunity and suddenly flicked it towards Bai Zhi’er’s feet.
As soon as she stepped on it, she would imdiately trip!
But no one expected.
Bai Zhi’er suddenly paused, turned to the left.
Her voice was soft, "What is that!"
The housekeeper’s plan failed, anger flickered in his eyes, he hurriedly followed her.
Bai Zhi’er walked to the poolside, gazing at the scenery of the pool.
Artificial hills, flowing water, and a lotus pond complented each other, classical and elegant.
The housekeeper smiled and said, "This was designed by a landscaping master specifically hired from Jiangnan by the Fourth Young Master for the Princess."
Because Bai Zhi’er always liked such water scenes.
However, the little girl’s face now showed discontent.
"The pond is too small." She shook her head, standing at the pond’s edge, her hands on her waist.
Bai Zhi’er said softly, "In such a small pond, the fish can’t swim freely! It’s not pretty at all, expand it, rebuild it!"
The housekeeper stood behind her, agreeing verbally, "Alright, I will give the orders now."
A wicked thought moved in his eyes.
There was no one around; as long as he pushed the little princess into the pond here, she was bound to drown!
The housekeeper extended both hands, thrusting them towards Bai Zhi’er’s back fiercely.
Suddenly, a servant quickly walked over from the gate.
"Princess, soone is looking for you!"
Bai Zhi’er suddenly turned around, walked two steps to the right, "Who is it?"
The housekeeper couldn’t retract his force, and shouted "Aaaah—", he flailed his arms and legs, and with a "splash", fell into the pool.
Bai Zhi’er shrank her neck in fright, glancing back.
The housekeeper struggled in the water, "Help!"
Bai Zhi’er shook her head, "So clumsy, what kind of housekeeper are you. Soone, fish him out!"
A tall figure walked past her, extending strong arms, and pulled the housekeeper out of the water.
The housekeeper collapsed on the ground, having swallowed a lot of water, breathing faintly.
Repeatedly trying to harm the little princess, yet failing each ti.
Truly strange!
Bai Zhi’er’s big eyes had already turned to the rescuer.
"Ah? Brother Lu Wang, why are you the one looking for , did Brother Ce ask you to convey a ssage?"
Lu Wang bowed, his voice cold yet courteous, "Greetings to the Princess."
