At this time, Ye Jiu's role naturally came into play, "Father, Wenyu could join in the capital city to receive rewards this time, he must have achieved something at the frontier border. He chose the military path, so it's naturally impossible for him to stay home forever. Look at those generals in the capital city, which one of them built their career achievements by staying at home..."
"That's right, it's a good thing the child is promising. We didn't have abilities in this life and can't help the child much. Now that we're old, we shouldn't hold the child back. Let them choose their own paths." He Shi also chimed in.
Although Ye Laohan still felt a bit uneasy in his heart, he didn't want to make everyone unhappy on this joyful day.
So, he followed the lead Ye Jiu and He Shi provided, and after giving Ye Wenyu a couple of instructions, he let them reunite properly as the second household.
Ye Jiu left the Ye Family gate together with Ye Wenyu. Ye Wenzheng was heading to a royal banquet, and Ye Jiu also wanted to tag along, but she was not sure how to get in.
With Ye Wenzheng's current status, it was impossible for him to bring her in, and it seemed like Prince Jing didn't want to take her either.
She could come and go freely from the palace gates, but after giving Sikong Mo the cold shoulder for over a month, to suddenly go where he was seemed undignified, like she was being overly eager.
On the street, Ye Jiu and Ye Wenzheng parted ways.
Ye Jiu originally planned to return to Prince Jing's residence first, but upon reaching the street, she suddenly saw a familiar figure.
Suddenly filled with curiosity, Ye Jiu turned to Ying Chun and Liang Xia, and said, "This Commandery Princess just remembered something I need to do, you two go back first, no need to wait for me."
"If the Commandery Princess has anything to do, why not let us servants handle it?" Ying Chun said.
"No need, this Commandery Princess just wants to take a stroll, I told you there's no need to follow." Ye Jiu intentionally put on a stern face, and after speaking, she turned and left, leaving them no chance to argue.
Ying Chun was still somewhat worried, but Liang Xia persuaded her, "Forget it, when did the Commandery Princess ever allow anyone to refute her decisions? Besides, after spending several years by her side, we know she's not some ordinary delicate lady without martial skills. Let's just listen to her and head back first."
With no other choice, Ying Chun could only follow Liang Xia and leave first.
The other young ladies of noble families, when going out, wished they could bring all the people from their residence to display their grandeur. However, our Commandery Princess liked to go alone, making us maids seem rather useless.
Ye Jiu followed that familiar figure all the way to the entrance of a teahouse, standing at the door watching inside, deep in thought.
Strange, could she have been mistaken?
Just as she was about to turn and leave, someone unexpectedly pressed up against her back, lifted her and leapt to the second floor.
The movement was so swift that even though Ye Jiu's martial arts had significantly improved, she had no time to react.
As soon as her feet touched the ground, Ye Jiu turned around suddenly, and forcefully pushed away the person behind her, "Where did this ruffian come from..."
However, before she could finish the sentence, she stopped herself.
Because when Ye Jiu pushed Sikong Mo, he gasped sharply, let go of her, and one hand clutched his chest, his handsome face contorted with pain.
"Sikong Mo, what happened to you?" Ye Jiu was frightened by his pained expression, hastily stepping forward clumsily, trying to support him.
"Nothing, I just wanted to see if you would care for me." Sikong Mo suddenly released the hand on his chest, then straightened up, eyes smiling as he asked Ye Jiu.
