Chapter 519: Chapter 520, Never Afraid of Him
"Enough, this once—and not to be repeated. Today it’s Jinnian pleading for you, but if there’s a next time, no one will be able to save you. Take good care of your injuries. Tomorrow, I’ll get revenge for you at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet!"
Daring to scheme against Princess Jinfeng is courting death.
Let alone a Wei Family, a Noble Consort of the Wei family, or a second Prince, if they really infuriate her, she’ll wipe them all out at once.
Uncle Wang is becoming more confused by the day. He doesn’t cherish his legitimate son but dotes on the children born of his second wife—each one more arrogant and overbearing than the last, and not a single good one among them.
Sooner or later, he will regret it.
Princess Jinfeng nodded repeatedly.
She looked up and smiled at Yun Jinnian.
Yun Jinnian also stood up. "Princess, now that your wounds are properly dressed, I’ll take my leave!"
"Jinnian..." Princess Jinfeng called out softly.
Yun Jinnian looked at her.
"I’ve taken to heart what you said. I won’t ever do something so foolish again. Can you believe me?"
Yun Jinnian nodded, "Mm, I believe in you, Sister Xiang!"
Chu Yu couldn’t properly see Yun Jinnian out, but he followed her for a while before grabbing her arm, every word deliberate and serious, "Jinnian, you’re the only one in my life!"
Upon hearing his words, Yun Jinnian looked up, gazing into Chu Yu’s gleaming dark eyes under the lantern light in the night, sparkling like stars, and she believed him deeply.
Ignoring Hemei and Henuan, and even Si Qin following behind, she reached out and wrapped her arms around Chu Yu’s waist, "I believe you. Just give me some time. Once I have settled everything, I will accept you, will accept everything you ask!"
Chu Yu was overjoyed at her words.
He held Yun Jinnian tightly, his voice trembling as he said, "Okay!"
With that, it was as if their mutual affection was confirmed, their hearts knowing each other’s minds.
Attaining a proper union was only a matter of time, and he, too, could rest easy.
"I can’t escort you out myself, so I’ll have Si Qin take you back to the Han Residence. Get some rest early tonight. Tomorrow, you will first go to Princess Jinfeng’s residence, and I’ll bring Jinfeng with me, so we can enter the palace together!"
Yun Jinnian nodded slightly, pushed Chu Yu away, and walked towards the outside.
Chu Yu stood in place, smiling like a fool, watching the figure of Yun Jinnian leave the Prince Rui Residence and vanish into the distance with the speeding carriage, unwilling to take his eyes off her.
He truly wished she were returning home, that he would be waiting here for her, watching her dismount the carriage, then taking her hand to walk through the door together, before heading back to the main courtyard.
That day wouldn’t be too far into the future, not too far at all.
In that moment, Chu Yu’s heart was full of joy, yet little did he know, the path ahead for him and Yun Jinnian would be fraught with countless tribulations and hardships...
In the carriage, Han Tianci looked at Yun Jinnian, who had her hands over her face and seemed dazed, wondering what she was thinking. Han Tianci felt curious and also a bit worried.
Luo’er had called him out to play, and Luo’er had taken him out, making him wait in the carriage. After a while, Yun Jinnian came out, but...
Looking at Hemei and Henuan with their heads lowered, Han Tianci furrowed his brows, "Sister, what’s wrong with you?"
Yun Jinnian shook her head, "It’s nothing!"
Her voice was hoarse.
Han Tianci didn’t believe her, "Is it really nothing?"
"It’s nothing, don’t worry about me!"
Han Tianci nodded, "Then okay, I won’t worry!"
The carriage clattered its way to the Han Residence. As soon as they dismounted, they saw a splendid carriage marked with the Yun Residence’s insignia. The doorman immediately approached, "Miss Cousin, Young Master, Yun Qi has come!"
The doorman called Yun Qi ’Young Master’ rather than ’Uncle Lord.’
It was clear where the doorman’s sympathies lay.
Yun Jinnian was taken aback.
Why had he come?
She turned her head to look at Han Tianci, "Tianci?"
Somewhat reluctant to let Yun Qi see Tianci, Yun Jinnian didn’t know why she felt this way.
"Don’t be afraid, Sister, I’ll go see him!"
No matter if he was his father or not, he had to meet him.
He, Han Tianci, was not afraid of Yun Qi.
