CHAPTER 293: CHAPTER 293

Xiaohua’s expression went from astonished to shocked, and finally, under Chen Muxue’s nonchalance, turned to tears in her eyes.

Today, she was sullen in the carriage on her way to school. The driver who was sending her couldn’t get her to speak, and wondered to himself, what’s wrong with this little girl? She seemed so sad, could she have been bullied at school?

With tears in her eyes, Xiaohua went to school, surrounded by concerned classmates for quite a while. She forced a smile to prevent everyone’s focus but was still in a daze when she boarded the carriage home after school, pouting as she looked out the window.

Soon, she saw a familiar figure.

"Uncle, stop the carriage!" Xiaohua quickly said.

The driver stopped the carriage but worriedly said, "Miss Xiaohua, you cannot get off. If you get kidnapped, the Sect Leader won’t be able to find you."

Not mentioning the Sect Leader might have been better; at the mention of the Sect Leader, Xiaohua wanted to get off even more. She pouted, huffed with displeasure, and said, "It’s okay, look at that person; she is my nanny. Go back and tell the Sect Leader that I’m leaving with my nanny!"

Although the driver stopped the carriage, he didn’t dare let her out, quickly reaching out to stop her: "Miss Xiaohua, this is, I can’t explain if you go!"

Xiaohua became even more unhappy, stretching her neck and shouting, "Nanny! Nanny!"

The attention of the passersby was drawn, and Nanny Fang, hearing the voice, immediately put down the cabbage in her hands and ran over: "Miss Xiaohua!"

When Nanny Fang came close, the driver couldn’t stop her anymore. Moreover, being a servant of the Huo family, how could he go against the real family’s nanny? Seeing that the two indeed knew each other, and the nanny’s relationship was confirmed by Miss Xiaohua herself, the driver hesitated for a moment but let Xiaohua get off the carriage.

"What are you doing going to the Huo family every day?" Nanny Fang couldn’t help but ask the long-held question.

"The Sect Leader sent me to the Huo Family Academy to study..." Speaking of Chen Muxue, Xiaohua’s mouth pouted even longer as if you could hang an oil bottle on it.

Nanny Fang patted Xiaohua’s head, "Miss, you are amazing, going to other people’s houses to study at such a young age."

Feeling the nanny’s affection and hearing her praise, Xiaohua’s all-day-long grievances poured out. She hugged Nanny Fang’s leg, "Nanny, I miss mother, take me back!"

"But..."

"I know, mother has become a star, but I still miss her! I don’t like the Sect Leader anymore, hmph, the Sect Leader is not nice to Xiaohua!" The world of four-year-old Xiaohua is that simple.

"Is that so? Well then, nanny will take you home." Nanny Fang took Xiaohua’s hand, a red glow flashing in her eyes.

She neither hurriedly asked what exactly Chen Muxue had done to be "not nice" nor cared for the so-called "home" where there were men they all loathed, she just held Xiaohua’s hand and walked towards the Yin family.

Since the Holy Object was neither on her nor on Master Yin, and Mistress Shui was clueless, who else but Miss Xiaohua could possibly know where madam placed it?

Perhaps when Miss Xiaohua gets home, they might find some clues.

After Xiaohua went to school sullenly in the morning, Chen Muxue felt uneasy all day. She even took up a wok to try making a dish, added a bit of curse-breaking grass she bought outside, which supposedly has the ability to clear away evil spirits and heart demons, though its efficacy is minimal, its price is distressingly high...

Then, for the first time in two lifetimes combined, she managed to turn the dish into a lava-limited edition: coal.

Even a culinary novice wouldn’t directly cremate the dish!
