After leaving the study, Xing Minzhi sent Chu Han back to the backyard, and just now went to the front yard with the book.
At this time, most of the guests had already been sent away. Seeing Chu Han came back, Su Yan asked her, "What did you do?"
Chu Han whispered in Su Yan's ear, "I went out with my uncle."
Su Yan didn't know that the little girl had a thin skin, so she didn't ask any further questions.
Chu Han searched around in the room, and asked Su Yan wonderingly: "Concubine Mu, where are my cousin and sister Jiu'er?"
Su Yan said: "Your cousin is a little tired, so I asked Jiu'er and her to rest in your yard. That's fine, you can't do anything here, so go find them two to play."
These words were exactly what Chu Han wanted, she immediately responded with a smile, turned around and led Qing Zhi and Qing Yun back to her courtyard.
On the way, Qing Yun couldn't help but ask Chu Han: "Girl, what book did uncle and master just look for?"
"They said they were looking for someone to treat the flood, what's wrong?" Chu Han didn't know why Qing Yun asked this suddenly.
Qing Yun found an excuse at random and said: "It's okay, but the servant girl thinks that the prince never lets others into the study room. Will the prince be angry if you bring uncle and master in?"
Chu Han wondered: "I don't move around or take things randomly, why is he angry? Besides, didn't I ask you to ask for a warrant?"
Hearing Chu Han's words, Qing Yun's eyes flickered slightly, and she just lowered her head and said, "Yes."
At this time, Qing Yun felt that the jade pendant in her arms was very hot.
Chu Han felt that Qing Yun was abnormal today, so he asked, "What's wrong with you today? It's weird."
"Is there?" Qing Yun was taken aback, blinked her eyes and said: "Perhaps the servant girl didn't sleep well yesterday, so her mind is not clear today."
Chu Han's mind was very simple, and he didn't think about it when he heard Qing Yun say this, he just frowned and taught: "I think it's true, I told you to rest, but you didn't listen, what if you're tired ?”
What he said was a lesson, but it might as well be that Chu Han cared about him.
For a moment, Qing Yun couldn't tell what it was like. In short, she had mixed feelings, and the soreness of her nose was very uncomfortable.
"My maidservant is fine." Qing Yun shook her head: "Go back quickly, Princess Ronghua and Miss Xia will be waiting in a hurry."
Seeing Chu Han turn around, Qing Yun bit her lip, and walked behind Qing Zhi with a frowning expression.
Back in his own courtyard, the first thing Chu Han did was to ask the mother-in-law in the courtyard if Princess Rongyang and Xu Lu had left.
The mother-in-law said: "Let's go. After Princess Rongyang woke up, she took her cousin and left."
On the other side, Xing Minzhi returned to the front yard after seeing off Chu Han, just in time for Chu Mu to send the guests out.
Seeing Xing Minzhi coming, Chu Mu gave him a very secretive look. Xing Minzhi nodded unobtrusively after receiving it, and helped Chu Mu see off the guests as if nothing had happened.
In Chu Han's courtyard, Chu Han entered the room and talked with Xia Jiu'er and Princess Ronghua. Afraid that Qing Yun would feel uncomfortable, Chu Han asked Qing Yun to go back and rest for a while.
Qing Yun went out with a heavy heart, and her heart skipped a beat as soon as she opened the door of her room.
She hastily entered the room and closed the door, and asked the man in the black robe in surprise, "Why did you come here in broad daylight?"
The man didn't answer Qing Yun's words, but instead asked, "How's it going?"
Qing Yun said: "The young master went to the study, he should have succeeded."
"Did you see it with your own eyes?" the man in black asked again.
Qingyun was depressed, she nodded and said in a low voice: "This is the last thing I will do for you, after it is done...don't forget what you promised me."
The man said impatiently: "Don't worry, as long as you do what I say, your parents and two younger brothers will be fine."
Hearing the assurance from the man in black, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of Qing Yun's mouth.
From the moment she was born, she has never been free.
But now it's all right, soon, soon she will be free, and no one will be able to force her to do things she doesn't want to do.
After the man in black left, the tears that had been in Qing Yun's eyes fell down.
Qing Yun has been sitting in her room for a whole hour.
It wasn't until she heard the sound of Chu Han going out outside that Qing Yun suddenly got up, put away the things that the man in black had just given her, washed her face and chased her out.
At the end of Shen Shi in the afternoon, it was time for the family banquet in Prince Jin's mansion.
The people who participated in the family banquet were very simple, there were only four members of Su Yan's family, Princess Jinyang, three members of Xing's family, and four members of Xia family. In the past, Princess Rongyang's family, Chen Lingfei and Chen Pinxi would also participate, but this year Chen Pinxi went to other provinces to become an official, and Chen Lingfei followed, so they didn't come. As for Princess Rongyang, there is no need to say more about the reason.
Princess Ronghua was in poor health and couldn't stay outside for too long, so she had gone back earlier. When Chu Han and Xia Jiu'er arrived at the dining room, everyone was already there.
Looking at Chu Yan who was sitting in the main seat, Chu Han immediately smiled and went over to greet Chu Yan: "Happy birthday, Father!" Speaking of which, this was the first time Chu Han saw Chu Yan today. No, to be precise, Chu Yan hasn't shown up in front of her much these days, and he doesn't know what he's busy with.
Chu Yan looked at Chu Han, and only hummed lightly.
This attitude frightened Chu Han a little. She didn't seem to have made any mistakes today, right? Why is her father so serious
Chu Han quietly gave Su Yan a look, originally wanting to ask Su Yan what happened to her father, but Su Yan kept talking to Zhong Ning and didn't notice her at all.
Chu Han pouted, rolled his eyes, and pulled Chu Yan's arm just as he wanted to act like a spoiled child, when Chu Yan pulled his arm out of her hand unexpectedly, his body was a little stiff, and he raised his head and said to Chu Han: "Go back to your seat and sit down."
That bluntness was a bit blunt, similar to Chu Yan's usual tone of voice when speaking to outsiders, and completely devoid of the usual pampering towards Chu Han.
Chu Yan was so cold to herself for no reason, which made Chu Han angry. She pouted and went back to her seat to complain to Han: "Grandmother, look at my father, I did not mess with him , he was born like this."
Mrs. Han glanced at Chu Yan, who had a serious face at this time, and persuaded softly: "Your father may be in a bad mood, so don't get angry with him, you should try this braised pork ribs, which my grandmother specially made for you." .”
Chu Han nodded and glanced at Chu Yan, but he was still not very happy.
Xing Minzhi glanced at Chu Han who was full of disappointment, and clenched his fists under the table slightly, but he pretended to be relaxed and said nothing.
Princess Jinyang was not happy anymore, she said to Chu Yan: "You said you too, the other child kindly celebrated your birthday, why are you sombre, even if you get angry outside, you can't bring your temper home no?"
Regarding the lesson taught by Princess Jinyang, Chu Yan slightly nodded and said, "Mother taught me that."
Princess Jinyang was very displeased with Chu Yan's attitude. As soon as she was about to speak, Chu Mu stood up and said for Chu Yan: "Father has been busy with flood management for the past few days. I haven’t slept all day, and now I’m in a bad state.”
After finishing speaking, in order to prevent the topic from continuing, Chu Mu hurriedly changed the subject and said to Chu Han, "I heard that you bought a saber for your father outside, so you can show me it?"
Chu Han pouted, glanced sideways at Chu Yan and said angrily, "What are you giving, I won't give it away."
