Chapter 992: Chapter 995, Kindness and Love (4th update)
Chu Yu heard the words and remained silent.
After a while, he said, "Wait!"
"Yes!"
Anyi let out a breath.
Wait for the things ahead to be cleared, the carriage to be moved, then the road will be clear.
Chu Yu returned to the residence he bought in the Imperial Capital.
He went directly into the study.
Han Tianci immediately walked out, "Brother Chu!"
"Hmm!"
Chu Yu sat down, lifted the teacup, pinching the lid between his fingers, gently stirring the tea leaves, but did not drink.
Han Tianci watched, lowered his eyes.
In his heart, he still felt for Chu Yu.
Although he didn’t verbally express his anxiety, the conspicuous gray hairs at his temples revealed all his emotions.
Han Tianci never thought that Chu Yu valued his sister so much.
"There is no news of my sister for now, but I believe once Zhou Yunshen’s wedding takes place, my sister will surely appear!"
Chu Yu said nothing, put down the teacup, and played with the jade ring on his finger.
Han Tianci saw that Chu Yu remained silent.
He took a deep breath, "Brother Chu, I’ll be off!"
"Tianci!"
"Hmm?"
"Be cautious in your actions and take care of yourself!"
Jinnian is missing without any news; Tianci cannot go astray.
Han Tianci paused, nodded, and flew away without a sound, unnoticed by those hiding in the shadows to monitor Chu Yu.
Imperial Palace
The Empress looked at Zhou Yunshen and saw the joy radiating from the corners of his eyes and his brows. She sighed, "Feeling happy?"
"Replying to Mother, yes!"
"You’re not hiding it at all!"
He exhausted all efforts to bring the person to the Imperial Capital, ignoring all her advice.
Really...
The Empress sighed.
Fortunately, she was a modern person, more open-minded, and willing to fulfill him; otherwise, with the stubborn thinking of ancient people.
This son of hers would probably face hardship.
Zhou Yunshen stood up, saluted the Empress, "Thank you, Mother, for allowing it!"
"You’re my son, if I don’t fulfill you, then who will? All right, now that the person is in the Imperial Capital, the wise prince of Tianchu Country also chased after. Remember, do not rush!"
"Yes, I understand, Mother!"
"It’s good that you understand, go on with your work!"
"Yes!"
When a son grows up, has his own thoughts, and likes someone, it’s a good thing.
The Empress watched Zhou Yunshen leave, pursing her lips and smiling.
She shook her head helplessly, her heart full of affection.
Marquis Residence of Fuwei
Because the third house’s Nalan Bo returned with family and was to serve in the Capital City, the old Marquess especially favored Nalan Jinlian, this granddaughter, and the welcoming banquet was quite lavish.
A table full of dishes, the whole family sitting together, the large round table could seat thirty people.
Except for the concubines who couldn’t sit at the table, the illegitimate daughters could.
Nalan Jinlian sat beside the old Marquess, "Jinlian, tell the maid to pick the dishes you like for you, eat more. This is your home, no need to follow the rules!"
"Yes!"
Nalan Jinlian responded.
Though the dishes were indeed lavish, Nalan Jinlian didn’t particularly like them, feeling the taste was somehow off.
After a few bites, she didn’t want to continue eating.
"What’s wrong? Not to your taste?" the old Marquess asked.
"Perhaps I’m used to the border town, and not quite adapted!" Nalan Jinlian smiled, using serving chopsticks to pick dishes for the old Marquess, "Grandmother, you eat more!"
"Good child, slowly drink some soup, and instruct the kitchen to make some dishes for you, how about that?"
"Thank you, Grandmother, the chicken soup today is very good, I’ll just drink more soup and eat the meat, besides, living in the Imperial Capital from now on, I need to adapt eventually!"
The old Marquess agreed, "Mm, what Jinlian says is right, eat a little less each time, eat a few more meals daily, slowly get used to it. Do you have a small kitchen on your side?"
"Replying to Grandfather, there is!"
"Having a small kitchen is convenient. Every day let the big kitchen send some dishes over, eating whenever you want, it’s fresh!"
Benevolent, kind.
Nalan Mingzhu tightly gripped her chopsticks...
