Chapter 887: Chapter 889, Reluctance in the Heart (2nd Update)
Since everything is ready, why should she make herself extremely nervous and out of sorts?
After all, in her previous life, she had already been an empress.
Such composure, she should possess.
"Alright, then, I can’t argue with you!"
Shi Jiayu said, as she went to help embroider Yun Jinnian’s dress.
Originally, she thought the wet nurse, Mrs. Yuan, would return. But now that she hasn’t, Shi Jiayu asked Yun Jinnian with a smile, but received no response, so she dared not ask any more questions.
"Cousin?"
Xu Xinmo entered with a cheerful smile.
Yun Jinnian looked at Xu Xinmo, smiling, "Why have you come here?"
"Cousin, the day after tomorrow is your coming-of-age ceremony, have you prepared everything?" Xu Xinmo asked.
She glanced around.
Seeing Shi Jiayu and Ru Yue working on the dress.
"Cousin, why don’t you go to Jinshang Pavilion to buy a set? Beautiful and valuable!"
"Although the dresses at Jinshang Pavilion are good, I don’t particularly like them. Besides, Jiayu and Ru Yue said they wanted to make one for me by hand, so let them be!" Yun Jinnian said softly.
Xu Xinmo initially wanted to ask if she could be Yun Jinnian’s ceremony assistant.
"Cousin, have you prepared for the coming-of-age ceremony that day?"
"Everything is ready!"
Xu Xinmo knew that the people Yun Jinnian had invited were some of the most distinguished in the Capital City, and it was precisely because of this that she wanted more people to see her.
"So cousin, who have you invited as your assistant? And who is the master of ceremonies?"
"The assistant is Sister Chen, and the master of ceremonies is Sister Mi! It was decided long ago, and won’t be changed!" Yun Jinnian said gently.
She smiled at Xu Xinmo.
How could she not see through what Xu Xinmo was thinking?
But it was hard for Xu Xinmo too. After all this time, who knew what she was plotting?
"Oh..."
Xu Xinmo responded carelessly.
After chatting with Yun Jinnian for a while, she returned to Yicai Garden in frustration.
"Grandmother!"
"Hmm?"
"Yun Jinnian’s coming-of-age ceremony, we can’t let it go smoothly, we must throw some dirt on it!"
Granny Jin nodded slightly upon hearing this.
Despite having stolen Yun Jinnian’s fate, over the past few years, Yun Jinnian had been rising steadily, while Xu Xinmo had yet to encounter a single esteemed person; it was indeed strange.
Originally, she wanted to take some of Yun Jinnian’s used items from Niannian Garden last year, but Niannian Garden was like an iron fortress, impossible to get into.
Although Xu Xinmo could get inside, she couldn’t take anything.
"Xinmo, grandmother knows what to do!"
Since there were no proofs, causing a scene to make Yun Jinnian unlucky would also be good.
Study room
Yun Qi had waited for Mrs. Han for many days, but she didn’t come to find him.
In the end, he decided to go look for her.
When Mrs. Han saw Yun Qi, she smiled faintly, "You’ve come, sit down!"
Yun Qi sat down.
Mrs. Han then said, "I had intended to come find you, but I was afraid of disturbing you, so I waited for you to come to me!"
"Shu Niang..."
Mrs. Han smiled, "Hmm?"
"Jinnian is my child too, don’t worry, I will definitely attend her coming-of-age ceremony!"
"Then I must thank you!"
Resentment, hatred, they were all gone; now, they were just familiar strangers.
Yun Qi wanted to sit a while longer, but Mrs. Han didn’t pay any attention to him, nor did she drive him away, just tended to her potted plants.
"Did Jinnian send this?"
"No, it was Tianci!"
Although Tianci had not come to Yun Residence, he studied martial arts and literature at the Han Family, but he always thought of her, and bought things to send her.
Knowing she liked potted plants, he sent several pots over, all of them rare treasures.
Tianci...
Yun Qi knew who Tianci was, and whose child he was, knowing this made his heart ache even more.
"Shu Niang, why have we become like this?"
