Chapter 877: Chapter 879, Obedient on the Surface but Opposing in Secret (5 Updates
Is Madam Xi here to attend?
Mrs. Han thought for a moment before saying, "We should go see him. There are only ten days left. No matter what, he is still Jinnian’s father. Both parents must be present for Jinnian’s coming-of-age ceremony!"
So, she was willing to step into that filthy place and face that filthy person for the sake of her daughter.
Saying things she didn’t mean.
"Yes!"
Bai Que accompanied Mrs. Han to the front yard study.
From a distance, they could hear Madam Xi singing a little tune.
Bai Que didn’t know what tune Madam Xi was singing, but Mrs. Han did. She had sung this tune to Yun Qi in the past.
Only she would deliberately sing out of tune each time, and Yun Qi would never say a word, just looking at her with a smile and deep affection.
It all seemed to have happened yesterday, yet it also seemed to be a lifetime ago, as if it were from a previous life.
"Let’s go back. It won’t make a difference this short time!"
"Yes!"
The two of them came quietly and left quietly.
Yun Qi knew that Mrs. Han had been to the study. He stood alone by the window for a long, long time but in the end did not go to Qingjue Academy.
Qingjue Academy, Qiyue Academy.
Two extremes!
Prince Rui Residence
Chu Yu was winding gold threads, making a phoenix coronet for Yun Jinnian.
The feathers from the nape of a kingfisher, the most vivid and beautiful, required the dispatch of three groups of people to obtain them.
He wanted to personally make a phoenix coronet for Yun Jinnian as a coming-of-age gift.
With countless treasures in hand, countless good things, he still felt it was not enough. Even if he gave them all, he couldn’t express his love.
So true, so deep.
"Master, Princess Ning’an has arrived!"
Chu Yu’s hand holding the tweezers paused slightly, and he asked nonchalantly, "What does she want?"
Princess Ning’an, Qu Mianke’s mother.
Chu Yu’s little aunt.
When Chu Yu was young, he did indeed stay by Princess Ning’an’s side for two years and did have some affection for her, but compared to the Grand Princess of Zhenguo, it was completely incomparable.
"Commandery Princess Mianke is with her!" Luoyi said.
"Let them wait!"
After saying this, Chu Yu continued with his work.
Luoyi, seeing this, turned to report to Princess Ning’an.
In the hall
Princess Ning’an sat to the side, drinking tea, while Qu Mianke sat next to her. On a nearby table were gifts for Chu Yu.
"Mother!" Qu Mianke softly called out.
Princess Ning’an glanced at Qu Mianke, who immediately lowered her head in guilt.
She knew she was wrong.
If she hadn’t acted recklessly and allowed her cousin to catch hold of it, her mother wouldn’t have had to lower herself to apologize to her cousin.
Princess Ning’an also felt uneasy.
She had been here for two hours, and Chu Yu still hadn’t come out, clearly showing he didn’t regard his aunt highly.
Two hours later.
Princess Ning’an had drunk three cups of tea and visited the lavatory several times before Chu Yu finally appeared.
"Aunt, my respects!" Chu Yu said, cupping his hands slightly in a salute.
Princess Ning’an forced a smile, "Ayu, what were you doing, making your aunt wait so long!"
"I happened to be busy with something very important. My apologies!"
Princess Ning’an shook her head, "It’s fine, as long as you weren’t intentionally avoiding your aunt!"
"Haha, Aunt is not a monster. Why would I avoid you?" Chu Yu said, laughing loudly.
"Ayu!" Princess Ning’an called out heavily.
Chu Yu looked at Princess Ning’an, "Aunt, if you have something to say, please feel free!"
Not a word about Qu Mianke, not even a glance in her direction.
Just like before, when he allowed Qu Mianke to stay in the Prince Rui Residence, it showed he was kind to her.
If Qu Mianke had not stirred up so much trouble, he would not be so disgusted with her now.
