Chapter 110 Reunion
Chapter 110 Reunion
These are flower dews collected in the early morning. It took several months to collect half a bucket. The other half is water extracted from dried flower petals.
All of this is for Zheng Jihua's arrival tonight.
This is also why the nanny didn't tell the truth about what was happening outside the door.
When she saw Yan Yun throw the stone into the room without hesitation, she knew that her daughter would not help them, much less be of one mind with them, after giving birth to this girl.
She would throw stones at the servants for their sake.
After that, she would no longer side with them.
The old woman felt a chill when she thought about this. Compared to her obedient and sensible daughter, Yan Yun seemed to have come for revenge and couldn't help at all.
The old woman sighed, then wondered why the concubine's belly was still showing no signs of pregnancy.
She has never stopped taking those medications, and she is getting older every day. Even if she becomes pregnant in the future, childbirth will be troublesome. Why can't she get pregnant?
Even the nanny was getting impatient.
"Granny, please take a look for me. There can't be any mistakes later."
"Yes."
Although Yan Yun did not see his concubine, he returned to his own courtyard with peace of mind. After making such a scene, they would not come to see him again, and they should not dare to harm those young maids again.
Qing'er was still guarding the door when she saw the old women and Yan Yun returning together, and she immediately went to greet them.
"Miss."
She was naturally worried that something might happen.
Fortunately, nothing bad will happen to the young lady in this courtyard.
When the steward led her into the mansion, he said, "You're quite clever to have Miss bring you back." Although the old woman frightened her, seeing Yan Yun stand up for her and demand an explanation from the steward, Qing'er knew that she had met a good person.
Yan Yun wiped away the tears on her face.
Why are you crying?
Qing'er and the woman who served Yan Yun helped Yan Yun to bed. She told Yan Yun that she would wait outside the door.
Do the same things as those maids.
Yan Yun knew that she wanted to do something, and if she didn't, her mind wouldn't be at peace.
If she's willing to do it, then let her do it; at least it will make her feel a little more at ease.
What's putting Yan Yun in a difficult position now is...
Because of Yun Yi, it became more difficult for her to go out freely. When she returned, she saw that the courtyard wall had been raised.
Although he and Jingyue parted on bad terms, he should have come to find him. There had been no news for a while, so Yan Yun didn't want to go to sleep and sat up again.
She opened the window just to take a look.
A sound immediately came from outside the window.
"Miss, there are more mosquitoes at night. You'll sleep better if you close the window."
Upon hearing the sound, Yan Yun immediately closed the window.
How come there are always people around?
Yan Yun's dislike for Yun Yi grew even stronger!
Just as Yan Yun was wondering what to do.
A voice came from the wooden window, "I'm here to relieve you. You should go and rest."
Although there were people guarding Yan Yun from several directions, they were all rotated. After all, people tend to get sleepy in the middle of the night, and there is a possibility that they might make mistakes because of sleepiness. In order to prevent problems, the rotation arrangement was made.
After the man gave a few instructions, the area outside became quiet.
The window that Yan Yun had just opened was pushed open from the outside in.
The person outside gently knocked on the wooden window and whispered, "If Miss wants to go out, please go out from here. I will stay here and guard you."
Yan Yun naturally wouldn't go out again.
Because the people outside actually told them directly that they could leave from here.
That means someone in the household must have known that I had gone out.
Yan Yun immediately quieted down, and his desire to go to Nan Yun Jing's residence vanished instantly.
She returned to her bed and looked at the open window.
The person outside the window knew to go out.
The voice sounds like a maid's.
There was a sense of familiarity. Yan Yun thought for a moment and realized that the person he had met that day was the servant named Shi Tou. It must have been the servant who told Mo'er, whom he was worried about, about his departure.
I had confidently declared that I would pretend not to see it, but today I've given myself such a big scare.
Yan Yun shook his head and pulled the blanket over his head.
It's all Yun Yi's fault. He made something that was simple so complicated.
Moreover, Jingyue wondered how he was going to get here. If he were discovered by those people, would he be arrested as the thief who kidnapped him last time?
Just as Yan Yun was still worried, a flying arrow struck right next to his bed.
Upon hearing the sound, Yan Yun immediately pulled down the covers. She reached out and lifted the curtain, instantly seeing the arrow piercing the edge of the bed.
Seeing the yellowed paper tied to it, Yan Yun immediately pulled out the arrow.
Take out the small roll of paper and unfold it; it says something on it.
The person you're looking for has already been taken away by Nan Yunjing, so there's no need to worry for now.
Although there was no signature, Yan Yun immediately realized that it was sent to him by Jing Yue.
What is certain now is that the woman is indeed Ru Qing's sister, and she is safe and sound, which puts Yan Yun at ease.
Although Jingyue and he had a disagreement, they had spent a long time together, and he wouldn't use this incident to deceive himself.
What Yan Yun couldn't understand was why, by such a coincidence, Nan Yun Jing and he chose the same time to go to Zui Chun Lou to find Ru Qing's sister?
After leaving Changgu City, why did Nan Yun Jing come to Yuanjing?
Yan Yun suddenly became somewhat interested in Nan Yunjing.
Because many things surround him like mysteries.
Moreover, Yunyi and Nan Yunjing.
Yun Yi clearly disliked Nan Yun Jing, yet he seemed to be following Nan Yun Jing around all the time.
Yan Yun had various doubts.
Thinking that the little dumpling and Nan Yunjing seemed to have a good relationship, she could ask the little dumpling tomorrow and surely get some information from her.
Yan Yun hid the arrow under the bed again and kept the paper Jing Yue had given him on his person at all times.
Having confirmed this matter, I can say that my worries have been put to rest.
Zheng Yuanli.
The preparations for Zheng Jihua's wedding have also become quite lively.
Yan Yun wrote a letter to Zheng Jihua, saying that there were too many people in the courtyard, she was not used to it, and she could not sleep well. She did not want so many people guarding her courtyard.
The steward came to the courtyard and took away many people, distributing them among the others. Because of Zheng Jihua's marriage, not only the old lady, but also Lu Yan and Ru Qing came from Changgu City.
When the old lady heard the news, she naturally found it absurd. If Zheng Jihua married Lu Yan's sister, then Lu Yan would marry her granddaughter. What kind of order would that be?
The old lady naturally did not want to see this marriage. After all, there are countless women in the world, and Zheng Jihua should not get entangled with that girl.
However, Zheng Jihua's letter stated that the matter was beyond saving, which dispelled the old lady's idea of opposition.
As for Lu Yan and Ning'er's marriage, Zheng Jihua said that he had already made other plans.
He did not intend for Ning'er to marry the physically weak Lu Yan.
When the old lady saw Zheng Jihua's words belittling Lu Yan, she would have written down all the anger in her heart if she hadn't been limited by the rule of not writing too much in a letter.
Now, the old lady naturally feels 100% love and affection for Lu Yan.
But now the relationship is complicated.
Zheng Jihua was no longer the obedient child he once was, and he no longer listened to his words.
Lu Yan, who was traveling with him, was also thinking about this. He hadn't expected that his third sister would marry Zheng Jihua in such a short time.
As the distant capital drew ever closer, Lu Yan felt an inexplicable sense of unease.
Ru Qing, who was standing nearby, handed over the pills she had brought.
"Young master, it's time."
The old lady glanced at Ru Qing, who was dressed as a man, and no longer disliked her as she had before.
It wasn't because she found her pleasing to the eye, but because of her scarred face.
Only someone like that can be placed by Lu Yan's side.
Ru Qing noticed the old lady's gaze, immediately lowered her head, put away the bamboo tube that Lu Yan had drunk from, and continued on her way.
Meanwhile, on Professor Zheng's side...
Although it is unknown what Zheng Jihua and Lu Mingyuan said, the mansion has already begun renovations. When Yan Yun went to the academy, he heard from the servants that the date had been set.
It's at the end of the month.
Judging by the time, it's only about ten days.
Yan Yun hadn't expected Zheng Jihua and Lu Lan's marriage to be so rushed, and she didn't want to know more, since it was none of her business.
Just as Yan Yun was about to leave the mansion, he remembered the maid who had spoken to him outside the window the night before.
Yan Yun looked around and saw that, just as she had expected, Shi Tou was standing not far away, sweeping the ground with a broom in his hand, but his eyes were fixed on Yan Yun's yard.
When he noticed Yan Yun looking at him, he immediately lowered his head.
That night, the clumsy cover-up didn't fool him. He knew that he had been leaving the manor all this time, and he even told Mo'er about it. Did Jing Yue and the others know about it too?
Keeping a secret is not an easy task.
Yan Yun went to the academy by carriage.
Even the usually peaceful Shi family residence was not spared from the news of a funeral.
Shi Yunjun is dead.
As for why he died, the servants in the mansion said he died from a sudden and serious illness.
The woman who was organizing the books came to Yan Yun's side when she heard the news from someone nearby.
Yan Yun was copying the damaged scroll.
She closed the door and knelt before Yan Yun.
Yan Yun immediately put down his pen, stepped forward, and took her arm, asking, "What are you doing? Get up quickly."
The woman wept softly.
He uttered three words.
"he died."
Yan Yun sighed. This person has been dead for a long time. "Didn't I tell you this already?"
The woman cried even harder.
Yan Yun, puzzled, asked her, "Knowing this good news, shouldn't you be smiling? Why are you acting like this?"
