Chapter 474: The Heartless Regent King vs. the Scheming Princess 19
When they saw Lu Zhihuan's appearance clearly, everyone looked at Madam Yu at the same time.
Even Mrs. Yu raised her hand to touch her cheek, but when she saw that her mother looked unhappy, she quickly put her hand down.
Madam Yu's personal maid stepped forward to help Lu Zhihuan up, calling softly, "Miss, wake up."
A monk brought over a bowl of water.
"Let me do it!" Mrs. Yu pinched her sleeve with one hand and took the bowl of water handed to her by the monk with the other hand. She squatted slightly and fed her the water.
"Cough cough...!" Lu Zhihuan slowly woke up, opened her eyes and saw Madam Yu. Her eyes were instantly filled with tears.
Her lips trembled slightly, and she asked softly in a weak but expectant voice, "Are you... my mother?"
As the words fell, crystal tears slid down her cheeks, wetting the hair by her ears.
There were some scratches on the little girl's face and hands, which looked really distressing.
Everyone looked at each other, and Madam Yu's cloudy eyes were full of inquiry.
Madam Yu handed the bowl of water to the maid and smiled kindly, "Miss, you have the wrong person."
Lu Zhihuan seemed to have just regained consciousness. He quickly sat up, bowed slightly, and said, "Please forgive me, Madam. Zhizhi recognized the wrong person."
"Zhizhi?"
"Your name is Zhizhi too?"
What a coincidence, her daughter is also named Zhizhi!
Madam Yu glanced at the old lady but didn't say anything.
Lu Zhihuan stood up and bowed to everyone: "I am sorry for being rude."
She looked up at Mrs. Yu again before turning and leaving.
Madam Yu's personal maid helped her down to her knees again. "I never thought there would be such a coincidence in the world."
"Yeah! He actually looks so similar to me."
Madam Yu closed her eyes and spoke in a stern tone, "There are many people in this world with ulterior motives. Please don't mention this matter again, otherwise any gossip will spread and it will be detrimental to our Yu family."
"Yes, mother."
She watched Lu Zhihuan's back as she left, her voice and appearance all in her mind.
If you don’t know, you might think they are mother and daughter.
Lu Zhihuan returned to her own Zen room. When she met them for the first time, she observed the original owner's mother and grandmother.
Madam Yu is a meticulous person with a shrewd look on her face. She is not an easy person to get along with.
Mrs. Yu is a gentle and kind person, but she is like a little lamb in front of the old lady.

The next day
In the morning, each family came to the main hall to worship Buddha. At this time, the snow at the foot of the mountain had almost been cleared.
The mountain gate was wide open and a lot of refugees rushed in.
All the pilgrims were relatives of officials, and this was an important Buddhist site, so everyone had to donate some money to the temple.
This delay lasted until noon.
Lu Zhihuan had no money, so she donated the medicinal herbs she had collected in the past few days to the temple.
That’s good. She didn’t have to carry it with her when she went down the mountain. It was quite heavy.
After lunch, it was time for the pilgrims who had been here for a few days to go home.
When Lu Zhihuan left, the Yu family was loading the car and seemed to be preparing to go back.
Lu Zhihuan felt relaxed and was the first to go down the mountain.
This way, I could run into the Yu family on the way, and it would be even better if I could get a ride.
She strolled down the mountain.
She looked up at the time and said, "Xie Zhao should be back in his body by now!"
--------
Lanyue Palace
The person on the bed who had his eyes closed suddenly opened them.
Xie Zhao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the familiar place and pulled the rope beside him.
The next moment, Tu Ying walked in and said with some surprise, "Your Highness, you are finally awake."
Xie Zhao's voice was hoarse as he spoke: "Ask Steward Xu to take people to Ning'an Temple to pick up... Lu Zhihuan."
This was the first time he called her name.
Tuying understood that the prince might have become something different in these seven days.
"Yes." Tuying thought for a moment and said, "Now that Tuying is back, there should be some progress in Miss Lu's case."
Xie Zhao sat up straight and said, "Let him come over."
--------
"drive……!"
Lu Zhihuan had already walked a long way. When she heard the sound, she turned around and saw three carriages coming towards her.
There was a sign of Yu Mansion hanging on the carriage.
Just stop, there will be someone to pick her up even if she doesn’t stop, it doesn’t matter.
Madam Yu's personal maid was sitting on the edge of the carriage. Seeing Lu Zhihuan, she turned back and reminded him, "It's the girl who fainted yesterday. She's walking alone in front!"
Madam Yu opened the window a little and sighed, "It's freezing outside. I wonder where this girl is going?"
She turned to Madam Yu and said, "Mother, can you..."
Madam Yu had originally closed her eyes to rest, but upon hearing her daughter-in-law's words, she suddenly opened them and frowned slightly as she said, "As the head of the family, you must act prudently and have the ability to distinguish right from wrong."
Mrs. Yu lowered her head and nodded repeatedly.
The old lady narrowed her eyes. This girl is very good-looking. It would be great if she was born in their family.
Her family is mostly made up of boys, and there is only one girl who can be married off.
Look at that girl, she's smart.
However, her little tricks couldn't escape her discerning eyes. She probably came from a poor family and was waiting for this opportunity in the temple.
It would be better to... complement each other and get what we need.
Thinking of this, she changed her words again: "Forget it, why not let that girl take a ride!
When Mrs. Yu heard the old lady speak up, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
The corners of his originally tense mouth lifted slightly, revealing a faint smile, and he said softly: "It is mother's kindness."
Their carriage had already passed Lu Zhihuan, and Mrs. Yu quickly called for a stop.
At this time, Butler Xu's carriage also arrived and stopped in front of Lu Zhihuan.
Butler Xu quickly jumped off the carriage and said respectfully, "Miss Lu, you must be freezing! Get in the carriage quickly."
Lu Zhihuan knew that Yu Mansion’s carriage had stopped and was looking at this side!
She quickly bowed deeply to Butler Xu, and the two of them exchanged many polite words before getting on the carriage.
Butler Xu's carriage did not have the palace's logo, but Old Madam Yu knew him, Butler Xu from the Regent's Palace.
She had seen it several times and there was no doubt about it.
She quickly got out of the carriage and said, "Help me down."
The old lady got off the carriage, and Madam Yu naturally had to get off as well.
Lu Zhihuan's carriage turned back and Butler Xu was sitting outside. Now she saw it clearly.
"I wonder where this girl comes from. Who is she from the Xu family?"
When the carriage approached, Lu Zhihuan stuck his head out and greeted Madam Yu, "Madam? It's you, I'll be leaving first!"
Mrs. Yu was amused by her and waved back.
Butler Xu knew the old lady, and he nodded slightly and gestured.
Then he also noticed Mrs. Yu's appearance.
She was so similar to Miss Lu that he looked away after just one glance.
The carriage went further and further away.
The old lady frowned, and now she even regretted not bringing the girl with her earlier.
……
Lanyue Palace
Xie Zhao leaned back on the bed, listening to Butler Xu report what he had just seen.
He coughed lightly twice before asking, "Did she ask about me?"
Butler Xu looked up at him and then told him the truth: "No."
"No?"
