By the New Year, every family is busy. Gao Manor is no exception. The servants swept the courtyard, hung red lanterns, and pasted the stanzas everywhere.
Qi Lin also glued a few stanzas. Not because he liked it, but only after that he was able to leave the study room openly.
Great Uncle was good at everything, but he always forced him to study.
“Aiya, I'm so tired!” Qi Lin was afraid that his great uncle would sweat profusely if he could not see him, so he specifically sat down before his great-uncle.
Gao Yuan was playing a game of chess.
Qi Lin was already used to it. This is the final game left by the prime minister of the previous dynasty. It had been passed down for hundreds of years and no one had broken it yet. Ever since he remembered it, he could always see his great-uncle thinking about this chess game.
Great Uncle was the most knowledgeable person in the Great Li Dynasty. His Majesty was still relying on him to finish this final game in his lifetime.
“Great Uncle, Great Uncle!” Qi Lin waved his hand in front of Gao Yuan's eyes and snorted. “Do not keep staring at the chessboard. It'll hurt your brain. You've been sitting here for six hours.”
These words are a little exaggerated. He just sat in the afternoon and not even at night.
However, Gao Yuan's consciousness returned to his body. He sighed softly.
Qi Lin vaguely felt that*******his great uncle was not because he could not finish this chess game. His eyes turned as he leaned against the table and looked at Gao Yuan. “Great Uncle, what do you think? Is this about Yan Jiuchao?”
Ever since his great-uncle told him not to provoke this person, he started to wonder about the information about him.
Unexpectedly, the background of this Young Master of Yan City was quite complicated. His father was once the Prince of Yan, and the current Emperor was his uncle. The richest city in the Great Li Dynasty, Yan City, was the fief of his family. Prince Yan died when Yan Jiuchao was seven years old. After that, Yan Jiuchao neither bestowed the title of crown prince nor inherited the title of Prince of Yan. It was not that the Emperor did not allow it, but he himself did not want to. Qi Lin did not know what was going on in this person's mind, but this was not Qi Lin's business.
Less than a year after the death of Prince Yan, Empress Yan remarried to the current dynastic Grand Marshal, Xiao Zhenting.
It was said that this Mister Xiao was very affectionate towards Empress Yan and treated Yan Jiuchao as hers. Unfortunately, Yan Jiuchao was unfamiliar with the climate in the Capital, so he stayed behind in Yan City.
Qi Lin scratched his head and said, “How old is Yan Jiuchao this year? Twenty-two? Twenty-five?”
“Twenty-three,” says Gao Yuan.
Qi Lin smiled evilly. “The Great Park really thought about it. By the way, I have news about him. Do you want to hear it, Great Uncle?
“What news?” Gao Yuan asked.
“Children born daughter of Yan family lost!” Qi Lin had asked about so many things about Yan Jiuchao, so he naturally did not let go of the most pleasant and exciting thing. It is rumored that she has erectile dysfunction, but she has three children at once. It was really a slap to the face of a lot of men.
“Great Uncle, why aren't you surprised at all? Last time, you said that someone would disappear two days later. Are you talking about Yan Jiuchao's children? The time just so happens to be right. Great Uncle, could it be that you sent someone to steal his children?
Gao Yuan was desperate to kill this child.
Qi Lin pursed his lips. All right, he's just spouting nonsense. Great Uncle is not such a person.
A pageboy hanging a lantern under the homepage said, “Young Master Qi, the news you mentioned earlier. Young Master Yan's children have been found!”
Not to mention Qi Lin, even Gao Yuan was shocked.
…
In the Lotus Flower City, the grand guard surrounded the White Jade Restaurant. A graceful young woman wearing a translucent veil and a pink robe descended from the carriage with the help of a servant. He entered the White Jade Restaurant with excited yet elegant steps.
“Nona, children are in the room in the backyard,” said a guard respectfully.
“Give him a gift,” Yan Ruyu instructed indifferently. The servant who accompanied him took out a reward money for the guard.
The guard was very happy.
Yan Ruyu and her servant went to Bai Tang's room in the backyard.
Bai Tang and Yu Wan were already waiting.
Bai Tang had sent someone to relay the news. Since he was living next to Bai Manor, it was easy to find him. It didn't take long for him to tell her.
Yan Ruyu rushed nonstop, but she was in no way in a sorry state. No matter when or where, she seemed to be able to maintain the modesty and elegance of a noblewoman.
This was the first time Yu Wan had seen the true face of a general's daughter. As expected of a woman who managed to lure the impotent Young Master Yan. She is very beautiful.
As Yu Wan judged Yan Ruyu, Yan Ruyu also looked at her.
This was also the first time Yan Ruyu had seen Yu Wan for the first time. At first glance she recognized that this was not the daughter of a merchant from Bai Manor. It was not her shabby clothes, but her calm and indifferent temperament as she did not move. It makes one think of an expression: one needs calmness to reach his distant goal.
Such a person would not be a female entrepreneur.
Such a village girl was as beautiful as a painting even when she was farming.
The middle-aged maid had bought the boiled meat of the Yu family before, so she quickly recognized Yu Wan. He smiled warmly and said, “Nona, is this you? Do you still remember me?”
“Aunt Lin, you know him?” Yan Ruyu was surprised.
Aunt Lin smiled and said, “Nona, the spice you praise is not inferior to the cuisine Madam Du bought from her stall!”
“It.... the village girl who was almost captured and taken away?” Yan Ruyu muttered. He looked at Yu Wan and revealed a gentle smile through the thin veil. “We are completely doomed.”
Yu Wan did not answer. He didn't even look at her. He just quietly stayed by the bedside and looked at the three sleeping children.
The atmosphere became awkward.
Aunt Lin smiled awkwardly and tried to smooth things out. “Last time, Miss helped Miss Yu. This time Miss Yu saved the girls. It's karma!”
Bai Tang did not like these words. It was as if it was because he had done such a good deed that his children were saved and had nothing to do with anyone else. Why doesn't he think any further? Even without him, Yu Wan might not have really been captured. However, if Yu Wan was not here, his children would not be able to return!
Do you know what kind of people they are? Robbers at the end of their rope! A cold-hearted killer! Which of them is easy to deal with? Yu Wan almost lost his life!
“You can't say that, Aunt Lin,” Yan Ruyu said gently. “No matter what, I really have to thank Miss Yu for this.”
Madam Lin smiled and nodded. “Nona is right. I'm too.”
“After talking for so long, won't you come and see how the kids are doing?” Yu Wan suddenly asked.
The expressions of Yan Ruyu and Aunt Lin froze at the same time.
