But the meal was finished, and Yun Jinnian hadn’t said a word, nor had he given him the purse. Han Tianci was still showing off, flaunting the new purse Yun Jinnian made for him, asking one person if it looked nice and another if it smelled good.
Chu Yu’s face darkened. "Aren’t you supposed to follow and join the excitement? Why haven’t you left yet?"
Upon hearing this, Han Tianci immediately reined in his smile and followed Chu Yu eagerly.
Yun Jinnian watched Chu Yu with a solemn face and gently smiled. Yuwen Ya came up to Yun Jinnian and said, "You really are playing favorites!"
Yun Jinnian looked at Yuwen Ya and smiled without a word.
How was she playing favorites?
The fabric was already cut, and the pattern of the purse had been embroidered; it just needed the leaves added, and then it would be done. It was just that today was a bit rushed and there wasn’t enough time.
"Poor uncle, he must be heartbroken. I ought to go and comfort him!" Yuwen Ya said as he chased after the others.
Was that really to comfort him?
It was probably to ridicule and tease him!
Yun Jinnian didn’t point it out and after speaking a few words with Prince Yanjun, she returned to her room. She walked around slowly for a few circles before picking up the needle and thread to continue her embroidery.
"Big brother Chu!" Han Tianci called out submissively.
He trailed behind Chu Yu, following his every move.
Chu Yu extended his hand towards him, "Hand it over!"
"What?" Han Tianci feigned ignorance, his eyes rolling around but deliberately not looking at the purse.
"Stop playing dumb. The purse your sister made for you, give it to me, and I’ll take you with me to the Xiu Residence!" Chu Yu demanded Han Tianci’s purse with an even tone.
Han Tianci quickly clutched it tight, "This won’t do. My sister made it for me!"
"Then I’m not taking you with me!"
As he spoke, Chu Yu turned to pick up the Precious Sword.
Han Tianci eagerly followed him, "Big brother Chu, ask for something else then. How about if I give you the Eight Trigrams Mantras my master taught me?"
"The Lightness Skill Mantra then?"
"I don’t want that either!"
"How about Martial Arts Manuscripts? My master recently taught me a set of boxing techniques that are really powerful!"
"Heh, do you think I lack a Martial Arts Manuscript?" Chu Yu sneered as he searched through his pack.
He remembered that Yun Jinnian had also given him a purse, which he had never had the heart to wear. Where had he put it?
Chu Yu searched for a while before realizing that Yun Jinnian had never actually given him a purse.
It was all pills and medicinal herbs, she had never made him clothes, a hairband, or shoes.
Chu Yu let out a sigh.
Looking at Han Tianci became even more unbearable.
Yuwen Ya stood at the door for a long time, wanting to laugh but not daring to, struggling to hold it in.
Eventually, he burst out laughing, "Hahaha!"
Chu Yu glanced at Yuwen Ya coldly. "You seem to be having a good time!"
"Just average!" Yuwen Ya said, avoiding Chu Yu’s gaze as he went to tease Han Tianci, "Just give the purse to your Big Brother Chu; after all, your sister will make as many as you want!"
"No way, my sister made it for me. How can I just give it away to someone else!" Han Tianci resolutely refused.
Yuwen Ya found it increasingly amusing.
Chu Yu’s face remained stern. "Since you’re so spirited, you’ll be in charge of the jailbreak at the prison later!"
Yuwen Ya was utterly shocked.
Wasn’t it agreed that they would go together to move Xiu Bingsheng’s study?
What could they gain from a jailbreak?
"Can I... not go?" Yuwen Ya asked pitifully.
Inside, he berated himself, cursing his own loquacity and mockery. Now karma had caught up with him.
"What do you think?" Chu Yu said before leaving the room.
Han Tianci quickly followed him.
Together, they went to Xing Keshou’s room.
Xing Keshou had already taken his medicine and had a full meal. Among this group, only Shi Jiayu took care to deliver food to Xing Keshou and even fed him when he struggled to do it himself.
If not for Shi Jiayu, he genuinely would have gone hungry.
Seeing Chu Yu come in with Han Tianci, he promptly sat up. "Your Highness!"
"If you want me to help you seek justice, I have a demand!"
"Please speak, Your Highness!" Xing Keshou said aloud while feeling anxious inside.
Chu Yu looked at Xing Keshou and said indifferently, "Give me the Treasure Map that you have!"
