Chapter 451: Chapter 452, Chu Yu is Annoyed
Han Tianci nodded seriously.
"I will try hard!"
"Good boy!"
It was many years later that Han Tianci understood, Chu Yu was not only a great big brother but also a great brother-in-law and a great father.
But the him of now didn’t understand, he just felt that Sister’s feelings for Big Brother Chu were extraordinary, and that Big Brother Chu was trying to steal his sister, so he guardedly protected her from Chu Yu when it came to Yun Jinnian’s affairs.
Chu Yu caught Han Tianci and jumped down from the rooftop, sending him back to Yun Jinnian.
Seeing Yun Jinnian’s gentle smile, Chu Yu also smiled and said, "I have brought Tianci back!"
Yun Jinnian smiled, "Mhm, thank you for taking him out to broaden his horizons, he didn’t cause you any trouble, did he?"
"No, he’s been very well-behaved and sensible, I’ll take him with me again next time!" Chu Yu said, looking at Han Tianci, who now stood beside Yun Jinnian and was even a bit taller than her.
It was puzzling what kind of good food the child had eaten to grow so quickly.
Following Chu Yu’s gaze, Yun Jinnian looked at Han Tianci. Although Tianci was now taller than her, he was still her most beloved younger brother, willing to risk his life for her, apologizing with his dying breath that he couldn’t lead her out of the palace—her foolish younger brother.
Unable to bear Yun Jinnian’s doting on Han Tianci, Chu Yu felt a sourness in his heart.
"I have something else to do, I’ll go and get busy!"
"Alright!"
Yun Jinnian watched Chu Yu leave, looking at his tall figure, she felt a strange sense of familiarity, yet couldn’t remember where she had seen it before.
"Sister..."
"Mhm?"
"What were you just thinking about? You seemed distracted!"
Yun Jinnian shook her head with a smile, "It’s nothing. Sister Jiayu has prepared hot water for you, go wash up and put on clean clothes, come and have a bowl of Snow Lotus porridge and then go to bed!"
"Okay, I’ll do as Sister says!"
Han Tianci joyfully went to bathe and change.
By the time he returned, Yun Jinnian had already ladled the porridge out.
It was light and bland, without any accompanying dishes, but Han Tianci felt his stomach warm and very comfortable after drinking a bowl of the thin porridge.
"Sister, can I sleep here tonight? I’ll just sleep on that small couch!" Han Tianci said, pointing to a small couch on the side.
Yun Jinnian couldn’t help but laugh, "Sleep on the bed. It’s quite big, big enough for the two of us siblings!"
"Hehe, then I’m going to sleep!" Han Tianci said, and, fearing Yun Jinnian might change her mind, quickly took off his outer garments, leaving only his underclothes on, and happily settled into bed, pulling over a thin blanket to cover himself.
Yun Jinnian found it amusing and moved forward to take a fan and chase out the mosquitoes inside the bed, then she lowered the bed curtains.
"Sister, aren’t you sleeping?"
"I still have things to do, you go to sleep first!"
Tianci guessed that his sister must be going to meet Big Brother Chu and feeling that the inn was very safe, he fell asleep with a peace of mind.
Carefree.
Chu Yu returned to his own room huffily, washed his face, gulped down a mouthful of cold tea, found the taste unpleasant, and heavily set it down again.
Luoyi entered the room, "Master, everything has been arranged properly!"
"Hmm, what about the Governor’s Office?"
"It’s in our hands now, the person will soon be brought to the inn. As for the bandits in the mountains, we have people infiltrating and will soon be able to capture them!"
Chu Yu’s face remained stern, silent.
Luoyi felt that this was his true lord, the one who had been grinning beside Miss Yun certainly seemed like an impostor.
Such a big difference.
However, he also felt that the personable lord seemed truer and appeared more at ease—there was at least some liveliness.
Chu Yu said nothing, his finger tapping intermittently against the table, making a faint sound, causing Luoyi a bit of anxiety.
The master is in a bad mood.
Someone is going to be in big trouble.
At this moment,
In the Xiu Residence,
Xiu Bingsheng sat slumped on the ground, unable to recover for a long time, completely stupefied.
"Master..." Mr. Yi called softly, his heart also filled with trepidation and sheer panic, "What should we do next?"
