"It doesn’t matter!" Jin Luoyin hurriedly interrupted him, sniffing as she said, "It doesn’t matter if he’s alive or not, only by earnestly doing this can I find peace. My parents also said that my brother was taken by enemies and might already be gone, but they have persisted in searching for so many years. Sotis, not giving up is not necessarily about finding my brother but for our own peace of mind. If my brother is really gone, then his spirit in heaven, seeing that everyone is looking for him and hasn’t given up, would surely be happy!"
Whether or not she could find him, she had to try; only then could she be at ease. This was exactly what Jin Luoyin felt at the mont.
Zhu Yiping sighed helplessly, but after a mont, he suddenly thought of sothing. With a bit of excitent, he earnestly told Jin Luoyin, holding her shoulders, "Wait for here, don’t rush off yet, wait for to co back."
"Huh? Brother Zhu, where are you going?" Jin Luoyin asked anxiously.
After giving the instructions, Zhu Yiping had already run out quickly.
With trepidation and a hint of excitent, he soon arrived at the main courtyard of the owner’s residence.
"Father, Father, are you there? Father, where are you?"
Zhu Haisheng returned the hidden compartnt and rushed out of his bedroom.
Yawning, he said, "Yiping, what’s so urgent?"
Seeing Zhu Haisheng in his robe coming out of the room, Zhu Yiping was taken aback and only then rembered that it was napti, and his father had a habit of taking afternoon naps.
He quickly said, "Father, did I disturb your nap?"
Zhu Haisheng replied, "It’s no big deal, no matter, what’s the rush, just say it. A little less or more sleep doesn’t matter to your father."
Zhu Yiping looked sowhat troubled, but he had no choice but to speak.
He took a deep breath and, full of apprehension, said, "Father, I... I want to go out!"
"Go out? Where to?" Zhu Haisheng’s expression darkened.
Zhu Yiping said, "The Commandery Princess wants to go north to find her brother. She’s traveling alone, and I am really not at ease. I’ve stayed in the manor all these years, and I want to take this chance to go out for a walk. I wonder if Father would permit it?"
"You want to go?" Zhu Haisheng looked at him in surprise.
"Yes!" Zhu Yiping said earnestly, "I am not at ease with her going alone to the Barbarian Lands in the north."
Zhu Haisheng smiled and said, "What is there to be uneasy about? With the Commandery Princess’s status, King Ning would arrange countless Hidden Guards for her. Her safety is not for you to worry about."
Zhu Yiping looked conflicted and very disappointed. He knew his father wouldn’t agree. Never mind such a faraway place, even going to Yangguan City was like facing a formidable enemy!
He said no more but didn’t leave either, just stood there with his head down in front of Zhu Haisheng.
Zhu Haisheng raised his arm and opened his mouth, helplessly saying, "Do you really want to go?"
Zhu Yiping nodded slightly, saying, "I don’t want to be a useless person trapped in a cage. I must go!"
"You... fine, go ahead!"
Zhu Yiping was incredibly surprised, suddenly raising his head.
But Zhu Haisheng said, "You’re not young anymore; it’s ti to talk about marriage. I was thinking of waiting for warr weather to get a matchmaker to visit families with daughters in Yangguan City, to find a suitable one for you. I didn’t expect you’d already chosen soone. You’ve fallen for the Commandery Princess, haven’t you?"
