The servants of the Loyal Prince’s Residence, upon hearing this, hastened to say, "These past few days, the Commandery Princess has worked hard!"
Mrs. Han waved her hand dismissively, "How is your young master faring now?"
"Madam, the young master has improved a lot!"
"Since your young master has gotten much better, then after the sixth day of the new year, let Jinnian come over again. After all, during the New Year, should one not stay home instead of going elsewhere to attend to someone?" Mrs. Han said, pulling Yun Jinnian forward.
Her own daughter, after all, must be cherished by herself.
The people of the Loyal Prince’s Residence cherish their legitimate eldest grandson, but have let her daughter grow noticeably thinner, her complexion worsened, and dark circles formed under her eyes.
With so many maids and old maidservants, why should her daughter suffer?
The face of the Loyal Prince’s servant turned very ugly, feeling that Mrs. Han was somewhat unreasonable and also a bit overbearing.
But it was widely known in the Capital City that Yun Jinnian had saved the life of young master An, after all.
Not to mention her, even the Princess Consort of the Loyal Prince had to be polite to Yun Jinnian, otherwise, it would be considered ungrateful.
Saving a life is greater than anything!
"Madam, this... I have no say in the matter, I beg you not to make things difficult for me!"
The one who had brought Yun Jinnian this time was the butler Momo, a person with significant status in the Wang Residence.
On ordinary days, everyone who saw her would flatter and fawn over her, thinking it was a privilege; little did they know Mrs. Han was such a person.
"I know you can’t make decisions. When you go back, tell the Princess Consort of the Loyal Prince that, just like her, I also dote on my daughter. Look how much my daughter has thinned after her time at your Wang Residence. Don’t you have any maids or old maidservants?" Having finished her piece, Mrs. Han led a somewhat dazed Yun Jinnian into the Han Residence.
Yun Jinnian was still shocked by Mrs. Han’s anger.
In the Loyal Prince’s Residence, she hadn’t done much; it was all about ordering the servants, but indeed, she had trouble sleeping soundly at night.
With restless sleep and unappetizing food, naturally, she lost weight.
"Jinnian, don’t think that Mother is making a fuss over nothing. But in this matter, the Loyal Prince’s Residence has acted improperly. If they truly valued you, they would not have just sent a servant to escort you, nor simply an old carriage. You should have been brought back by the vehicle that the Princess Consort of the Loyal Prince uses, accompanied by the second son on horseback. Their behavior clearly shows disdain for you!"
"There are such protocols?" Jinnian asked.
"Of course. Think about it carefully, when you saved the Commandery Princess, who escorted you back? It was the Commandery Princess’s own sons and daughters who brought you back, along with Prince Rui!" Mrs. Han continued, pausing for effect, "Even from the palace, the Empress fetched you in the Phoenix Carriage, and when you were sent back, it was also the Phoenix Carriage that took you!"
Yun Jinnian thought about it and indeed it was so.
"Mother, I don’t really mind these things!" Yun Jinnian said, holding Mrs. Han’s hand and walking on.
"Mother knows you don’t mind, but Jinnian, you must establish the rules and make those people respect you. Also, don’t readily hand out your medicine to just anyone!"
Yun Jinnian nodded slightly, "Mother is right, ’A man with no guilt in his heart still can be guilty if he carries a jade.’ It’s just that people often say saving one life is better than building a Seven-Level Pagoda, and I always wanted to accumulate more blessings for our family!"
And for Momo’s sake too!
Moreover, the gratitude gifts she received were quite generous, enough to make up for the Snow Lotus Pills.
"You!" Mrs. Han couldn’t help but feel helpless.
Yet inside, she was also proud of Yun Jinnian.
Her daughter, so kindhearted it was painful to watch.
"Mother, it’s New Year’s Day today. I’ll go freshen up, change into new clothes, and then come back to join you!"
"Go ahead, go ahead. Mother will also check the kitchen. I’ve prepared quite a few dishes that you and Tianci like. I wonder if they are ready yet!"
