Yun Zuomo and the other two, upon hearing this, nervously and excitedly walked in front of the Commandery Princess of the Stabilizing Nation, "Greetings, Your Highness. We wish you health and peace!"
They respectfully knelt and kowtowed.
Yun Zuomo and the other two thanked the Commandery Princess and stood up.
The Commandery Princess of the Stabilizing Nation handed them three pouches, "Here, one for each of you. Take these to play with, and come to the Princess’s residence with Jinnian more often in the future!"
Yun Zuomo and the other two had mixed feelings in their hearts.
They were very clear about why they were able to come to the Princess Residence and receive gifts.
It was all because of Yun Jinnian.
If one were to say the Commandery Princess came to help Yun Jinnian, it would be more accurate to say she came to give meeting gifts to Yun Zuomo and the other two.
Yun Jinnian had saved the lives of the Commandery Princess of the Stabilizing Nation and Prince Yanjun, and Yun Zuomo and the other two were Jinnian’s younger half-sisters, coming together with her; the implications were self-evident.
"Alright, continue to play!" The Commandery Princess of the Stabilizing Nation said, noticing Qu Mianke still standing to one side angrily.
Sighing inwardly, "Mianke, let’s go!"
Qu Mianke hated Yun Jinnian deeply.
She had already felt that Yun Jinnian had ruined her relationship with Chu Yu, and now it seemed, because Jinnian had saved Prince Yanjun, the Commandery Princess had a different view of her.
She stomped her feet and glared at Yun Jinnian fiercely before following the Commandery Princess in leaving.
Because of this incident, everyone’s attitude towards Yun Jinnian changed. Their words were filled with more respect and fear.
Especially Yuan Siqian and Zhuge Xi.
Yun Zuomo, Yun Qingzhi, and Yun Qingqing also had more people wanting to befriend them, while around Xu Xinmo were those who were scheming and just wanted to take advantage.
Because in the midst of it, Yun Jinnian tasted a pastry and liked it very much. She immediately called Yun Zuomo and the other two, letting each take a piece, while Xu Xinmo was nearby but Jinnian did not call her.
The implications were obvious.
Xu Xinmo, however, was completely unaware of this, entirely immersed in the flattery and compliments she received.
Yun Jinnian turned to look—it was Chen Danyan.
The two immediately came forward.
After a period of time, Chen Danyan appeared much thinner. Her clothes were new, but she seemed somewhat spiritless.
"Sister Chen..." Yun Jinnian said worriedly.
"I’m fine!" Chen Danyan smiled faintly, but her smile was a bit forced.
The Elder of the Chen Family was in a critical condition, yet he took the old lady to travel. The other Chen family members started to prepare for a retreat, pushing Feng Wushuang to power.
They only hoped that after the mourning period, Feng Wushuang could still support the Elder Residence. Although it wouldn’t reach previous heights, it wouldn’t fall too quickly either.
Yun Jinnian held Chen Danyan’s hand, silently comforting her, and lightly patted her hand.
She led her to a quiet corner to sit.
"Is there any news about the Elder?" Yun Jinnian asked softly.
Chen Danyan shook her head, "Jinnian, do you think Grandfather might meet an immortal who could give him a panacea to bring him back to life?"
"He will!" Yun Jinnian replied firmly.
Chen Danyan smiled, leaning on Yun Jinnian’s shoulder, "Jinnian, you are so kind. I don’t even believe in your medical skills, yet you still comfort me!"
"Because you are my Chen sister!"
Chen Danyan smiled, "Alright then, you have to love me more!"
"Yes, as you command!"
Yun Jinnian rarely showed a mischievous side.
Watching this, Chen Danyan felt much more at ease.
"Let’s have a gathering someday, shall we?" Chen Danyan asked.
"Sure, how about at my Commandery Princess Residence? You and Sister Mimi have never been. I will also invite Sister Ruan, and in a few months, Sister Hu will return. We can all gather and you can taste the dishes I cook!"
Dai Hanmi asked, "Can you cook anything edible?"
