"It’s good that you understand, and you’ve already tipped off the children about it. Fortunately, Mimi still has a few years before she gets married, so there’s still ti to prepare anew!"
The Marchioness nodded, "Mother, please don’t say that. Mimi is a sensible child and won’t mind these things. I’m thinking of taking so more things from my side, as the gratitude gifts cannot be lightened, after all, the child took a great risk back then, we can’t let her feel that we are stingy!"
The old dowager smiled, "Is it just because of this?"
The Marchioness laughed softly, "Of course not just because of this. Just thinking about if this could happen, I feel utterly delighted!"
"Indeed, if such a treasure really ca to our house..." The old dowager smiled and fell silent.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law shared a knowing laugh without saying a word.
The pastries made by Mrs. Qu, the second junior wife, were exceptionally delicious, and Han Tianci especially loved them. Yun Jinnian was afraid that he would choke and kept patting his back, also feeding him sips of clear soup to wash away the sweet richness in his mouth.
It was only after Han Tianci had eaten his fill and burped contentedly that he smiled at Yun Jinnian and said, "Sister, it’s really tasty!"
Mrs. Qu, the second junior wife, smiled very happily, "If you like it, co often in the future. I can also send so to you whenever I make them!"
Seeing her culinary skills appreciated, the second junior wife grew even fonder of Han Tianci.
She thought the child was extrely endearing.
Yun Jinnian checked Mrs. Qu’s pulse again.
"How is it?"
Yun Jinnian nodded, "Stop taking the dicine!"
"Oh my!" Mrs. Qu exclaid in surprise, rising to her feet and pacing in place a few tis, rubbing her hands together before grasping Yun Jinnian’s hand tightly, "Sister Jinnian, I really can’t thank you enough!"
In this way, the thank-you gifts sent to the Han Family beca quite substantial, with seven or eight chests, each one packed tightly with brocaded boxes. Han Xuzi glanced at them and said, "Send them all to the Chaoyang Academy!"
Yun Jinnian saved the old dowager of the Zhuangyong Marquis Residence, and the Marquis Residence sent over a heavy gift of gratitude, which was duly accepted.
After leaving the Zhuangyong Marquis Residence, Yun Jinnian went directly back to the Yun Family.
Upon returning to Niannian Garden, she devoted herself to reading books about Nanjiang.
Han Tianci sat at one side, taking a book on dical skills and earnestly morized it.
When Mrs. Han ca over, she saw the siblings sitting in a row, both of them looking extrely serious, and she could not bear to disturb them, so she just stood gently to one side, watching them.
These were her children, her dearest ones.
For dinner, Mrs. Han had many dishes prepared and ate at Niannian Garden with the siblings. Yun Qi was very aware of every move Mrs. Han made.
"Jinnian’s cousin?"
With Yun Jinnian’s temperant, would she be this fond of a cousin? Would her eyes light up like that, keeping her close by, taking such ticulous care?
Just look at how she treats the sisters of the Yun Family; it’s all just for show. As for whether they live or die, she doesn’t care at all!
However, Yun Qi also knew that Yun Jinnian and Mrs. Han were not fond of him, so he did not co over to disturb their happily intimate dinner.
He drank himself into a stupor alone, and in his drunkenness, he pulled a maid with him and spent a wild night together!
It was already late into the night
Mrs. Han was reluctant to leave her children, but sleeping over at Niannian Garden wasn’t proper, so she had to stand up and return to Qiyue Academy.
Just as she reached the doorway, she heard a thud, as if sothing had fallen into the courtyard.
Bai Que imdiately stepped forward, seeing an injured man.
Her brow furrowed deeply, "Madam, it’s an injured man!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Jinnian’s brow furrowed as well.
She didn’t approach imdiately, but turned and went into the study, opened the dicine chest, took out a porcelain bottle, poured so powder onto her finger...
