Yun Jinnian smiled without speaking, focused on making the sachet in his hands.
He planned to make one for Tianci, and another for Chu Yu. Yun Jinnian knew that these few days he probably wouldn’t be able to leave Yangxi City, and not wanting to read Medical Books, he could only find something to pass the time.
"If Miss is bored, you could go out and have some fun. I’ve heard there’s a theater in Yangxi City with really good plays!"
Yun Jinnian looked at Shi Jiayu, "If you want to go, take Hemei and Henuan with you. Go early and come back early, that will do. You don’t need to attend to me all the time, go out and enjoy yourselves, and you can also invite Nurse Qian and the others!"
"Then we’ll go tomorrow, and stop by the vegetable market too..." Shi Jiayu said, then fell silent.
She sneakily watched Yun Jinnian, seeing him calmly embroider the sachet, and only then felt slightly eased.
Thinking about arranging to meet with Nurse Qian and the others that night, to go together the next day for some mutual support.
She couldn’t practice martial arts, after all.
Chu Yu was jumping across rooftops with Han Tianci, "Your footsteps need to be light. Not making a sound even when you land on a tile, that’s what makes a first-class expert!"
Han Tianci huffed, focusing on his footing.
The moment his foot landed on a tile, it made a crackling sound, and Han Tianci’s face immediately flushed red.
"What’s with the blushing? When I was your age, I made even louder noises than you!"
"Really?" Han Tianci asked with delight.
"Why would I lie about such an embarrassing thing!" Chu Yu said, continuing to move forward.
Han Tianci felt less ashamed and quickly followed.
Although he still made noise, he felt less anxious inside and gradually relaxed.
He didn’t notice that the sound of his footsteps on the tiles was getting quieter and quieter.
The two of them eventually reached the Prefectural Governor’s Office.
Luoyi and Luo’er were moving stealthily in the shadows, having arrived earlier. Seeing Chu Yu and Han Tianci arrive, they quickly came out, "My lord, Xiu Bingsheng is not in the Governor’s Office!"
"Then he should be in his private residence!"
"However, we saw a woman in the backyard of the Governor’s Office, quite a beauty. Not sure if she’s the Second Lady of the Xin Family," Luo’er said.
Luoyi, always indifferent, didn’t say much.
Chu Yu looked at Han Tianci, "If it were you, what would you do?"
Han Tianci raised an eyebrow, "Me?"
Han Tianci thought seriously for a moment, "First, I’d find out the woman’s identity. If she is the Second Lady of Xin, we’d hide her away, then go to the jail to question Second Master Xin, and tell him the Second Lady is in our hands. He can speak out if he has any grievances!"
His voice still had a hint of childishness, but his words were lucid and sensible.
Chu Yu ruffled his head, "Let’s follow your plan. Luoyi, go and confirm it. If she is really the Second Lady of Xin, knock her out and bring her back to the inn and keep watch, don’t let her meet anyone from Xiu Bingsheng’s side."
Luoyi departed promptly.
"Tianci, come on, let’s go on an adventure!"
"Yes, let’s go see what we can find in Xiu Bingsheng’s study. There might be some useful things!"
A Magistrate’s study in the Governor’s Office would certainly hide some things.
But what’s most important, Chu Yu still wanted Xiu Bingsheng to panic first. Only in panic would he reveal any flaws.
"Alright, Big Brother Chu, I’ll surely follow you closely!"
Chu Yu laughed, pulling Han Tianci towards Xiu Bingsheng’s study.
Along the way, they encountered several patrols, but Chu Yu with Han Tianci easily evaded them. He was very composed, as if he was used to it.
Han Tianci, on the other hand, had a heart pounding excitedly, his young face flushed with the thrill, extremely adorable.
