Yun Jinnian was taken aback for a moment, then nodded slightly, and spoke softly, "Tianci, your sister can’t bear to part with you!"
Just hearing her say she couldn’t bear to part with him filled Han Tianci with contentment.
He also knew that going to Nanjiang would be greatly beneficial to him, where he could learn more and make faster progress.
"Hehe, I can’t bear to part with sister either!"
It was true, he couldn’t bear to part with her. Once he left this time, who knew when he would return, and whether his sister would still remember him when they met again!
Yun Jinnian really couldn’t bear it and thought for a moment before saying, "Then I won’t go!"
Han Tianci was startled and suddenly burst into laughter, "Sister, how can you also go back on your word!"
He hadn’t really wanted to go, but now he was actually eager to leave.
Without parting, there would be no reunion.
Only by parting could they cherish their reunion all the more.
"Sister just can’t bear to let you go. This trip back and forth will take half a year, and I don’t know when I will see you next. Even if I want to visit you, I might not be able to leave!" Yun Jinnian said while tousling Han Tianci’s hair.
"Sister, jade must be carved to become a fine piece. I will become someone great in the future, so I have to work hard and carve myself. Sister, believe in me, I will be your pride in the future. When others talk to you, they will say you have a good brother, the best brother in the world!"
At that time, he would be his sister’s pride.
Yun Jinnian was profoundly moved, and she could no longer voice her desire to keep him, "Sister believes in you!"
Believing that he would become the best brother in the world, her pride.
"Then I will return to Nanjiang with my master the day after tomorrow. Sister, you must take care of yourself in the Capital City, and whatever happens, make sure to protect yourself first!"
"And don’t marry so quickly, wait for me to come back first!" Han Tianci emphasized once again.
Yun Jinnian couldn’t help but laugh and cry, "All right!"
The siblings talked about some other things, all of which were Han Tianci instructing Yun Jinnian to be careful in everything, to take good care of herself, and not to rush into marriage – mainly to guard against Chu Yu.
Now that the Emperor had found a way to detoxify Yun Jinnian, there was no need for her to stay outside the Imperial Palace for long. Before leaving, she visited Chu Xinchun one more time, instructed Mo Li a few words, had a conversation with Chu Yu, and then returned to the palace with Hemei and Henuan.
Han Tianci accompanied Yun Jinnian to the gates of the Han Residence, watching as she got into the carriage, and smilingly waved at her.
Yun Jinnian lifted the carriage curtain and waved back at Han Tianci.
Once Yun Jinnian was far away, Han Tianci turned and went back to his own yard with reddened eyes, lying on his bed, sighing deeply.
Chu Yu entered the bedroom, leaned against the bedpost, and looked at Han Tianci, "What’s wrong with you?"
"I’m leaving for Nanjiang the day after tomorrow, and I don’t know when I’ll return. I’m feeling blocked up inside, and I can’t let sister know I don’t want to go, sigh..."
"If you don’t want to go, then don’t go!"
Han Tianci sat up, and said earnestly, "But I don’t want to disappoint my sister!"
"Your sister will never be disappointed in you, no matter what you do or what mistakes you make. She is always the sister who loves you the most!"
"So I can’t let my sister be disappointed!" Han Tianci said, suddenly feeling reinvigorated.
It’s just a trip to Nanjiang, after all. When he came back, he would be a little man of honor.
Chu Yu snickered to himself.
This kid was very clever, fortunate his mind worked so fast.
If he were any slower, and had really kept him from leaving, the one who would suffer would still be himself.
But he had completely failed to realize that Han Tianci had already arranged everything with Yun Jinnian in advance. No matter how Chu Yu flaunted himself, he was just happy for nothing!
When Yun Jinnian returned, the Empress was not there, so she first returned to her side palace.
