Chapter 103 Auspicious Wishes (21)
【Hello Yiyi, I am the Smart Micro-Client Portable Computer 1. I will assist you in completing your tasks until the main body returns.】
A short while after the cerebellum's voice disappeared, another voice appeared in the brain.
The voice was still the same, but it lacked tone, becoming cold and lifeless, like an inorganic substance.
Okay, second brain.
She tried a clever trick to test the waters, but received the reply: "I didn't understand what you meant. Could you please say it again?"
Yi Yi closed her eyes in sorrow, thinking: Well, this time a real artificial idiot has arrived!
"It's alright. Continue monitoring the plot. Report any errors that affect the plot to me immediately." Presumably, this function should still be working, so Yi Yi gave the order directly.
[Okay, the plot prediction function for the day after tomorrow has been activated.] The artificial intelligence quickly responded to Yi Yi's command, and then asked, [Is there anything else I can do to help you?]
[Change the wake word to 'Cerebellum II'.] I don't know if its wake word is the full name, but if it is, it's too troublesome. So I'll give this 'Cerebellum Cold and Ruthless' version a convenient name.
[The wake word has been changed to 'Cerebellum II'. Is there anything else I can do to help you?]
That's all. Please enable background mode.
After Yi Yi finished speaking, Cerebellum II gave a simple "Okay" and then fell silent.
Yi leaned against the car window, watching the Zhu residence getting closer and closer, her thoughts drifting: There can be a big difference between data, you know?
-
The people in the carriage did not actually fall asleep, and the carriage soon returned to the Zhu residence.
Even though Red Sparrow was waiting at the door with an umbrella, and even though three or five servants surrounded her with large cloaks and helped her out of the carriage.
But the moment the car door was opened, the wind and snow that rushed in were still not blocked.
Not to mention……
Yi Yi turned her head and looked at Zhu Qianxiao, who had opened the car door from the back and gotten out.
She was wearing a dress meant for indoors, and now, suddenly standing in the cold wind, she naturally started shivering.
Yi Yi gave Hong Que a wink, and Hong Que understood.
He handed the oil-paper umbrella, cloak, and hot water bottle to a maid and asked her to hold the umbrella for Zhu Qianxiao.
Yi Yi and Zhu Qianxiao were still awake, but Liang Churen was already awake.
Contrary to expectations, Yi Yi merely glanced at him indifferently before instructing the driver to take him home safely.
Then Yi Yi led Zhu Qianxiao, who was wrapped in a cloak, back to the Zhu residence.
Entering through the main gate, the two did not exchange any words on their way to the courtyard where Yi Yi lived.
One walked ahead, surrounded by servants, while the other followed quietly behind, with only a maid holding an umbrella for her.
For a moment, there was only the sound of footsteps on the bluestone slabs.
As they approached the courtyard where Yi Yi lived, she turned to Zhu Qianxiao and repeated, "Go back and rest early. I won't accompany you to the backyard. Come to my room first thing tomorrow morning."
Zhu Qianxiao remained silent, and Yi Yi didn't expect an answer from her.
He gave her a deep look, then turned and went back to his own courtyard.
Back in her room, Yi Yi sipped the ginger soup that Hong Que had brought her.
Thinking of her troublesome younger sister, she instructed Red Sparrow to send a portion to the eldest young lady as well.
The reply they received was one that the cardinal had anticipated.
Perhaps she had caught a chill, or perhaps it was because it was late at night, but her mind was a little foggy.
It wasn't until Hongque saw her change her clothes, soak her feet, close the door, and sit on the edge of her bed that Yi Yi realized what was happening.
She was puzzled, then heard Hongque speak up: "The head of the family cares so much about the eldest young lady, why doesn't he have a proper talk with her? Every time you try to have a heart-to-heart talk, you always steer the conversation toward arguing."
Yi Yi was taken aback, slowly raising her gaze from the ginger soup to look seriously at the maid she had always thought was just a background character.
"Master, please don't think I'm being nosy. I've seen your actions, but I can't understand them."
That's right, Yi Yi isn't some genuine feudal patriarch, and her daily actions are naturally completely different from the persona she presents when arguing with Zhu Qianxiao.
Thinking of this, she lowered her head again to look at the rippling ginger soup and remained silent.
"Homeowner..."
Seeing Yi Yi remain silent, Hong Que wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by the noise at the courtyard gate—
"Something terrible has happened! Master!" A maid seemed to be shouting something outside the courtyard, but she was stopped by the guards at the gate.
Noisy.
Yi Yi glanced at Hong Que, and the two of them quickly got up, one of them getting dressed, and went to the door to see what was going on.
It was getting late, and Yi Yi couldn't be fully armed, so she just let Hong Que pick out a cloak and covered herself from head to toe before going out.
Upon arriving at the courtyard gate, Yi Yi recognized the maid who was anxiously trying to enter as Zhu Qianxiao's personal maid.
Chao Hongque gave him a wink, and Hongque immediately stepped forward and ordered the gatekeeper to stop obstructing them.
The maid stumbled and knelt before Yi Yi.
Yi Yi took a half step back uncomfortably, just as she heard the maid say, "Master, something terrible has happened! The eldest young lady has run away again while she's taking a bath!"
Yi Yi was slightly taken aback. She knew the plot would definitely get back on track and the female lead would soon run away from home again to develop a romantic relationship with Liang Churen, but she didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
Yi Yi felt her head was a little throbbing, so she reached out and rubbed her temples. She waved her other hand and said, "I know. Considering you reported it immediately after you found out, I won't punish you."
"As for the young lady..." Yi Yi thought for a moment, considering how to reasonably keep Zhu Qianxiao in a state of running away from home. After a while, she said, "Let her go. She's probably already disappeared by now. If she's so capable, then she shouldn't come back to this house."
Having said that, he ignored the maid behind him saying "Thank you for not punishing me, Master," and turned to leave.
Red Sparrow glanced at the kneeling maid, then at Yi Yi.
Seeing the two nurses looking somewhat uneasy, he waved his hand and said, "Considering that you were doing your job and didn't intentionally obstruct the news, I won't punish you."
After saying that, he followed Yiyi back to her room.
When Red Sparrow returned to Yi Yi's room, she had already hung the cloak on the wardrobe.
Seeing Red Sparrow open the door and come in, she only said, "Quickly close the door, it's quite cold."
Red Sparrow did as instructed.
The brief interruption gave Yi Yi some time to think. She watched as Hong Que slowly sat back down on the bed.
After Red Sparrow thought she wouldn't get an answer and wasn't going to press for an answer, Yi Yi spoke up: "Don't you think that I didn't completely deny Xiao Xiao's point of view like I do every time we argue?"
Red Sparrow was delighted and sat down beside Yi Yi's bed.
