Chapter 489: Chapter 490, The Princess Gets Jealous
The Han Family had shown him great favor, and he had promised Mr. Han to stay by Yun Jinnian’s side for ten years. If these ten years passed peacefully, he would retire with honors and return home to his wife, children, and elderly mother. If he couldn’t return, it would be fate—himself and his family were prepared for this eventuality.
For the life of dozens in his family, he alone came to repay the kindness. It was a profitable deal for his family.
"To the Zhuangyong Marquis Residence!" Yun Jinnian said, helped into the carriage by Shi Jiayu.
Bringing Shi Jiayu along not only exposed her to the world but also elevated her status. Doing so might help her remarry a suitable gentleman and lead a happy life in the future.
Hemei and Henuan knew martial arts and were brought along for safety.
No sooner had Shi Jiayu sat down in the carriage than she drew in a soft breath.
So comfortable.
"Miss, next time we should prepare a stove so we can brew tea!" Shi Jiayu suggested.
"If you like, go ahead and prepare one!" Yun Jinnian didn’t mind these things.
"I’ll talk to the wet nurse when we get back!"
The carriage clattered down the bustling streets of the Capital City.
Shi Jiayu lifted the carriage curtain to look outside, "It’s so lively!"
"When we have some free time, we can come out for a walk. Anything you like, I’ll buy it for you!"
Shi Jiayu smiled, "Alright!"
"Whoa!"
Suddenly, the carriage came to a halt.
Uncle Cheng frowned slightly at the sight of the carriage that had blocked their path.
Having been around the Capital City, he could naturally tell to whom the carriage belonged.
He said to the inside of the carriage, "Miss, it’s Princess Jinfeng ahead!"
Princess Jinfeng?
Yun Jinnian was surprised to hear this, yet delighted.
She lifted the carriage curtain, "Uncle Cheng, get the step stool. I’m going to pay my respects to the Princess."
"Yes!"
Uncle Cheng immediately prepared the step stool. Yun Jinnian alighted from the carriage and walked toward Princess Jinfeng’s carriage, which Leng Binghan was driving.
"Big brother Leng, how have you been recently?"
"Good!"
Leng Binghan replied coldly, jumped down from the carriage, placed the step stool beside the carriage, and then stood aside without speaking.
Princess Jinfeng’s joyful voice came from inside the carriage, "Sister Jinnian, come in quickly, let’s have a chat!"
Yun Jinnian smiled as she boarded the carriage, lifted the curtain, and entered, only to find Chu Yu was there as well.
"Princess, big brother Chu!"
Princess Jinfeng pretended to be upset, "You call him big brother Chu, but you call me Princess. You’re not being fair to me!"
Chu Yu started to laugh.
Yun Jinnian smiled helplessly, "Chu..."
"Don’t you dare call me Sister Chu, I’m not your Sister Chu. Call me Xiangxiang!"
She wasn’t foolish. Yun Jinnian would soon be her sister-in-law, her very own sister-in-law. She couldn’t count on her brother anymore, so she would need her sister-in-law to dote on her in the future.
Starting now, it was only proper to start flattering her well.
"..." Yun Jinnian was taken aback, "That wouldn’t be proper. How about I call you Sister Xiangxiang?"
Let the future take care of itself.
Calling Princess Jinfeng Sister Xiangxiang would certainly raise her own standing, a very dignified arrangement.
"Fine then, you may call me Sister Xiangxiang, and I’ll call you Sister Jinnian. By the way, where are you heading today?"
As Princess Jinfeng spoke, she glanced at Chu Yu and saw his eyes fixed on Yun Jinnian, secretly scolding him for being spineless.
Not only spineless but also cowardly.
To like a girl and still need her, his sister, to give him a helping hand.
"I’m off to the Zhuangyong Marquis Residence to visit the old Dowager, and in the afternoon I’ll head to the Duan Family, since old Mrs. Duan is not in good health. I’ll also drop by to see Sister Wanrong!"
Upon hearing this, Princess Jinfeng snorted, "Yes, one is the grandmother of your Sister Mi, and the other is the grandmother of your Sister Wanrong. And what am I to you? Despite my sincere affection for you, this is how you treat me!"
