Chu Zhaowei and Chu Renzhi suddenly felt an urge to faint.
"But, little aunt, your expression is a bit too flattering and insincere!"
Do they take us for fools?
"Heh!" Princess Jinfeng scoffed, "You two here badmouthing brother, you don’t know how he would deal with you if he found out!"
Chu Zhaowei and Chu Renzhi looked at Princess Jinfeng in shock.
To turn their face so quickly, this little aunt was really too unkind!
"Little aunt, I have matters to attend to at home, I must go!" Chu Zhaowei said before running off, and Chu Renzhi hurriedly followed.
Princess Jinfeng watched them and chuckled.
But thinking of Yun Jinnian’s silent nature, "Brother wants to win the beauty’s heart, it’s going to be tough!"
Si Qin and Si Ju remained silent.
It was not their place as subordinates to comment on their master’s affairs.
The carriage stopped at the mansion Yun Qi had purchased.
Mrs. Han looked at the sleeping Yun Jinnian, unsure of what to do; she couldn’t bear to wake her but couldn’t lift her either.
"Let me carry Jinnian!" Yun Qi said, lifting Yun Jinnian from Mrs. Han’s arms, while Mrs. Han quickly covered Yun Jinnian with a cloak.
Puzzled and somewhat confused.
Yun Qi carried Yun Jinnian out of the carriage, where the coachman had already placed the step stool, and after Mrs. Han also got off, he led them through the front gate.
Along the way, maidservants, old women, and servants saw Yun Qi carrying Yun Jinnian back and stared with wide eyes, thinking she was ill or injured, until they later learned she had merely fallen asleep; each one truly dared not underestimate her again.
Mrs. Yuan saw Yun Qi carrying Yun Jinnian back with Mrs. Han following behind and was so astonished that she couldn’t utter a word.
Yun Qi did not bother with Mrs. Yuan, and went straight into the bedroom, laying Yun Jinnian on the warm bed while Mrs. Han took off her shoes and covered her with the blanket.
After lowering the bed curtains, both left the bedroom.
Yun Qi remained silent.
However, Mrs. Han said to Mrs. Yuan, "Have a maid stay in there to keep watch, a grand household must follow the rules of a grand household!"
Mrs. Yuan immediately instructed Ming Yang to watch by the bedside.
Wanting to say something, Mrs. Han had already left with Yun Qi.
Yun Jinnian opened her eyes.
In fact, she woke up when the carriage stopped, but she was a bit too fond of the warm embrace of her mother, so she pretended to sleep and refused to open her eyes.
She had not expected her father to carry her back.
The feeling was complex; Yun Jinnian couldn’t quite explain it—only that her heart felt sour and swollen.
A bit uncomfortable, yet somewhat comforting.
She sat up, pushed aside the bed curtains, and Ming Yang immediately approached, "Miss, you’re awake!"
"I wasn’t asleep!" Yun Jinnian said, getting out of bed and putting on her shoes before heading to the chamber pot room.
After relieving herself and washing her hands, she sat on the Arhat bed.
"Would you like to read some books, Miss?" Ru Yue asked.
"Are there books here?"
"After Miss, Master, and Madam left, butler sent over many books!"
Yun Jinnian thought for a moment, "Just fetch me a Medical Book."
Not planning to stay long here, Yun Jinnian didn’t plan to look around, fearing she might grow fond of it and pine for it later.
Mrs. Han wandered aimlessly, Yun Qi followed quietly behind, not speaking, not disturbing, just silently accompanying her.
After a long walk, Mrs. Han suddenly didn’t feel like walking anymore and turned to ask Yun Qi, "Where is the kitchen?"
"?" Yun Qi inquired silently.
"I’m going to cook something for Jinnian!" Mrs. Han paused, "I don’t know what she likes to eat, and today at Huiquan Tower, I didn’t see her favor any particular dish!"
