“Okay, let’s search again.”
Yu Yan’er nodded and followed Gong Cheng. She did not even remember what Qian Jiyun looked like. Although she had seen him before, she only saw him from afar. How could she even know him well?
She had to see Qian Jiyun today. Otherwise, she would not be able to explain herself when she returned.
“Yan’er, did you come here today because you fancy some young master?” Gong Cheng looked at Yu Yan’er and asked half-jokingly.
Although he and Yu Yan’er were cousins, they were actually not related by blood, let alone feeling any kinship.
Yu Yan’er’s mother was the eldest sister of his father’s concubine, who got along better with his mother.
He rarely met Yu Yan’er and did not have much of a relationship with her.
He did not expect Yu Yan’er to take the initiative to talk to him. He had a feeling something was going on. However, he knew what Yu Yan’er was like. She was not utilitarian, so he allowed her to follow him.
“No way.” Yu Yan’er lowered her head and denied it.
She had no interest in any young master. Her father merely wanted her to like one.
“I just wanted to come here to take a look. Father used to be strict with me, so I never came here to release lotus lanterns,” she said faintly.
Gong Cheng thought about it and agreed. Lord Yu was strict with her, but that was also because Yu Yan’er was a young lady and his only daughter from his legal wife.
“Let’s go. Let’s search again. If we really can’t find him, forget it,” he said and continued searching.
Soon, they found Qian Jiyun holding a child in his arms and pouring tea for the lady opposite him.
“Tsk!” He clicked his tongue.
No wonder he could not find him. He did not expect Qian Jiyun to be carrying a child!
Even if he had seen him, he would not have assumed that the person carrying a child was Qian Jiyun. He had seen him before, but he didn’t recognize Qian Jiyun!
“Yan’er, come here. He’s over there.”
He waved at Yu Yan’er, and they approached Qian Jiyun.
“Eat something to fill your stomach first. We’ll be returning home a little late tonight.”
Qian Jiyun pushed some pastries toward An Jiuyue. He picked up a chestnut cake and brought it closer to Qian Yizheng’s mouth.
“Zheng’er, eat. I can’t let you starve.”
“Thank you, Uncle Qian.”
Qian Yizheng took the pastry from Qian Jiyun and ate it slowly. His eyes lit up after taking a bite. He looked up at his mother and brother.
“Mother, this pastry is delicious. You and Rong’er should eat it too.”
“Alright, we will eat it too.”
An Jiuyue smiled and brought a piece of pastry to Qian Yirong’s mouth.
“Rong’er, eat slowly. I brought you some water.”
She took out two bamboo tubes and placed them on the table. Children should not drink too much tea. It was best to drink plain water or fruit juice.
“Second Brother, you’re here! I’ve been looking for you!” Gong Cheng’s voice interrupted Qian Jiyun.
“I heard from Yan Nuo that you didn’t even bring a guard with you. It’s too dangerous, so I chased after you quickly. This must be Miss An. My name is Gong Cheng. I’m Second Brother’s sworn brother. I’m the sixth brother.”
