The small hall at the second gate.
Yun Jinnian asked Yun Zuomo and the other two to go back and rest.
It was only then that Mrs. He sluggishly ca out, "Jinnian, where are Mu Si and Mu Lan?"
"They t the eldest sister at Huiquan Tower, and they went to sit with her. The eldest sister said she would send the eighth sister back but hasn’t returned yet."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. He slightly nodded, "That’s good. It’s getting late, you should go back and rest too!"
"Yes, Aunt!"
When Yun Jinnian was about to leave, she still courteously bowed.
Watching Yun Jinnian’s departing figure, Mrs. He asked the old maid beside her, "Mama Zhao, can you see through her?"
There had been several changes to the old maids around Mrs. He; Mama Zhao was newly purchased, but she was respectful and efficient, earning Mrs. He’s trust.
"I really can’t see through her!"
"Indeed, she has now beco a Commandery Princess, yet she still speaks and acts politely. By logic, she should be arrogant and displeasing. This way, she’s really hard to figure out!"
"Since she’s hard to figure out, Madam shouldn’t try to. We don’t need to do anything; soone else will handle it!"
Hearing this, Mrs. He turned to look at Mama Zhao.
Mama Zhao leaned towards Mrs. He’s ear and whispered, "Today, a ssage ca from Yicai Academy that it seems the cousin prepared sothing to deal with the Commandery Princess, but seeing the cousin’s and the Commandery Princess’s current state, it seems it hasn’t succeeded!"
"Is there such a thing?" Mrs. He asked urgently.
Her two daughters were involved too; what if sothing went wrong?
"Madam, rest assured, upon hearing this news, I had people secretly protect the eighth and ninth young misses!"
Mrs. He let out a sigh of relief, "If sothing like this happens again, make sure to inform imdiately!"
"Yes, I’ll rember!" Mama Zhao responded respectfully.
Yun Jinnian had planned to go to Qingjue Academy to speak with Mrs. Han, but Bai Que ca over, "Commandery Princess, Madam said that if there’s nothing urgent, you should go back to bathe and rest; you can co over tomorrow as well!"
"Is mother asleep?" Yun Jinnian asked.
"No, Second Master is there!"
Yun Jinnian suddenly understood.
She wouldn’t interfere with her parents’ matters.
Whether they end up separating or reconciling, it’s their choice. She would only give her blessings.
As for her father, she was genuinely disheartened, no longer holding any expectations or feelings.
Her father, much like the Yun Residence, was just a title, nothing more.
Returning to Niannian Garden
Yun Jinnian took a hot bath, changed into clean clothes, and then had Hei extinguish all the lights in the room, lighting up the "Nine Phoenixes Dance" golden jade treasure lamp instead.
As soon as the lamp was lit, the room seed to have divine phoenixes dancing gracefully, too beautiful for anyone to dare to blink, fearing they would miss the spectacle.
"So beautiful!"
Hei exclaid.
Henuan, Hongxiu, Hongdou, Hongye, Shi Jiayu, and Ru Yue were all stunned.
Even Nanny An couldn’t help but sigh, "So exquisite, it must have taken a lot of effort to make such a lamp. Can there be a second one in this world?"
Afraid not!
Yun Jinnian smiled, thinking of what Chu Yu had said.
Thousands of words, endless talk, it couldn’t be told or finished.
Love, just like this.
"It’s getting late, you should all go to sleep!"
"Miss, what about you?"
Yun Jinnian pondered for a mont, thinking Chu Yu might co tonight, "I’ll wait a bit longer. Nanny An, tell Yaniang not to sleep yet. I might need a bowl of dumplings or have her prepare a pot of dumplings to bring over. I’ll cook them myself later!"
After speaking, Yun Jinnian thought Chu Yu might prefer the dumplings she made herself, "It’s better if Yaniang brings them over so I can cook them myself!"
