Chu Yu soaked in the bath, his eyes closed.
His mood wasn’t good.
He knew that Yun Jinnian was angry.
He also knew he shouldn’t have allowed Qu Mianke to stay in his residence, but when he sent Yun Jinnian back and returned, Qu Mianke had already settled in, and he couldn’t just kick her out.
Chu Yu took a deep breath, "Tell me, was I wrong?"
Even though Luo’er was smart, he couldn’t answer such an abrupt question!
"Come up with a way to get rid of Qu Mianke!"
Luo’er immediately understood, "My lord, to get someone to leave now, it’s a bit difficult!"
Chu Yu glared at Luo’er.
Luo’er quickly added, "But, it’s not impossible!"
"What’s the solution?"
"Princess Mianke stays in the residence because her mother is not in the Capital City, but if her mother comes and she gets engaged, she won’t be able to live in the Prince Rui Residence anymore, will she?"
"Find a way to get her engaged quickly, no, find her someone she likes. Think carefully, among those prominent families, isn’t there a young man who is especially charming and handsome?"
"Yes, there definitely is!"
"Then find him, I want to make friends with him!"
Luo’er immediately grasped Chu Yu’s intent.
"Don’t worry, my lord, I will find someone swiftly!"
Chu Yu waved his hand, stood up, dressed, and decided to head to the Han Residence.
He had to see Yun Jinnian and explain.
Especially after seeing the look in Yun Jinnian’s eyes today, he felt uneasy.
After finishing the card game, they each returned to their rooms to rest.
Yun Jinnian returned to Chaoyang Academy, changed into her clothes, and cuddled up in bed with a brazier, having sent Mrs. Yuan, Hemei, and Henuan to rest early.
In the vast bedroom, she was alone.
The room’s heated floor was very warm; she didn’t need the brazier, but Mrs. Yuan insisted she keep it, fearing she would catch cold.
Sounds of fighting came from outside.
Upon hearing the noise, Yun Jinnian sluggishly got out of bed, dressed, put on her cloak, and then opened the door to her room.
She saw Chu Yu being attacked by several people.
He wasn’t at a disadvantage, but the Hidden Guard taught by the Wang Residence obviously weren’t to be trifled with.
Without a word from Yun Jinnian, the Hidden Guard wouldn’t let Chu Yu get close to Yun Jinnian; even without injuring Chu Yu, they could hold him off indefinitely.
Chu Yu wanted to speak several times but held back.
When Yun Jinnian thought it was enough, she took a deep breath, "Hold off!"
Hearing this, the Hidden Guard stopped.
"You may all go down!"
The Hidden Guard nodded and withdrew.
Chu Yu put away his sword and approached Yun Jinnian, asking cautiously, "Are you angry?"
"What do you think?" Yun Jinnian retorted.
At her words, Chu Yu grew nervous.
Seeing that Yun Jinnian’s expression wasn’t good, he asked softly, "I know I was wrong, and now I’m trying to find a way to remedy it!"
"Heh!" Yun Jinnian laughed out loud.
She turned and went into the room.
Chu Yu quickly followed.
Seeing Yun Jinnian taking off her cloak, he swiftly caught it and hung it on a nearby stand.
Yun Jinnian sat at the table, took a teapot from the small stove, poured a cup of hot water, and handed it to Chu Yu.
Chu Yu took it but dared not drink.
"Drink it, it’s cold outside; warm up with a cup of water!"
"I’m not cold, it’s very warm inside the room!"
Yun Jinnian looked at Chu Yu with his cautious and careful appearance and sighed softly, "Don’t be nervous. Although I’m angry, I’m not confused. Besides, you already know you were wrong. So now tell me, where did you go wrong, and how do you intend to remedy it?"
