"Unsuitable?" Chu Yu asked.
"Of course it’s unsuitable. If it were earlier, we could still demolish it, but at this point, it’s definitely too late!"
"Then we won’t tear it down. Pack up everything inside, and don’t let the maids and the old women appear before this prince. Clean up inside and out; don’t miss even the corners. Paint it all over again!"
"Yes, yes, all shall be as the Prince commands!"
Chu Yu glanced at Butler Chen and couldn’t help but say, "You’re getting old, and your health isn’t good. Have a few more people around you, let others do what they can, as this prince is counting on you to serve for a few more years!"
Butler Chen’s eyes immediately reddened, and he nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, all shall be as the Prince commands!"
"Alright, you may leave now!"
After responding, Butler Chen withdrew.
Chu Yu returned to the side courtyard and couldn’t resist visiting the main courtyard as well.
After looking it over inside and out, he felt quite satisfied, especially with the courtyard prepared for Yun Jinnian.
"This courtyard needs a name, but what should it be called?" mused Chu Yu.
He was definitely going to see Yun Jinnian tonight; perhaps he could ask her.
Wonder what she would name it, if she had a courtyard of her own to store medical supplies and herbs, as well as to see patients and practice medicine?
Keep it a secret and surprise her when they got married.
Thinking of this, Chu Yu couldn’t wait to see Yun Jinnian even sooner.
After getting ready and carefully ensuring that nothing was amiss, he prepared a gift to take to the Han Residence.
Luo’er promptly approached Chu Yu, "Your Grace?"
"Should I go to the Han Family’s home quietly or with a grand entrance?"
Luo’er pondered before replying, "Your Grace, you can make a grand entrance. Look, Miss Yun from the Yun Family, no, now she should be called Princess Yijia, she even saved you. The Commandery Princess and the Emperor have expressed their gratitude, but it seems you haven’t made any gesture yet?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Yu looked at Luo’er, "Go on!"
"You could prepare some things, maybe more, and send them directly to the Han Residence. If you send them to the Yun Residence, I’m afraid they may not reach Princess Yijia’s hands. Those people from the Yun Family, well..."
Luo’er didn’t even deign to mention them.
Truly disgusting people.
"No, now that you mention it, I think sending the things to the Yun Residence is a good idea. When the time comes, those Yun Family people will definitely be salivating with desire, itching for something Jinnian won’t give them. They will try every trick in the book to deceive her, then we can have someone watch and let them expose some secrets. That should give those Yun Family scoundrels something to stew over!"
"Your Grace, you really think too highly of those Yun Family people. They’ve got thick skins, and such a small matter wouldn’t shame them!" Luo’er said, and feeling it was not enough, continued, "Not to mention the ladies inside the house, but even the masters and young lords outside the house have no sense of shame. Yun Qi, Yun Chen at the top, Yun Zhen, Yun Yi, Yun Xuan below, each one appears so honorable and upright on the outside, but inside they are utterly shameless and unprincipled. I certainly don’t think much of them!"
That’s also why those Yun boys were unsuccessful in the imperial examinations.
Because people with principles looked down on them, naturally they would not be promoted, and even the Emperor’s desire to cultivate them would be in vain.
Chu Yu chuckled coldly, "In that, you and I think alike. We won’t prepare anything else, I’ll go see Jinnian myself!"
"Then will Your Grace go openly or quietly?"
Chu Yu gave Luo’er a look, "Why, does how this prince goes require your approval and nod?"
