Chapter 143 Update 1
Zheng Nianru waited another day, but Zheng Haoyuan didn’t come. Could it be because there was a lot going on these last two days? Zheng Nianru hadn’t heard about any particular events, and Noble Consort Wen was busy with birthday preparations. He should have had both idle and bustling times.
Wen Zan went to wait at the entrance of the Hanlin Academy early the next morning, only to see the academy’s messengers coming out again.
"Second Young Master Wen, it’s truly unfortunate, but Scholar Ju is not here. He didn’t come to the academy and went straight to the riverworks."
Zheng Nianru frowned. By the time the message arrived, it was already afternoon. So, during these three days, had Ju Nanyi really not found any time to see Wen Zan?
Not to mention the Floral Design, which was still unknown whether it was completed or not?
No, Zheng Nianru immediately rejected this notion. The drafts that Ju Nanyi usually presented, based on her understanding, were never half-finished initial sketches. In her heart, there was already a finished product, and the content for the lower half of the piece had already leaped onto the paper. According to what she knew about Ju Nanyi, he would never start painting unless he had completely thought it through in his mind and ran through it dozens or even hundreds of times.
And once he started, it was impossible for him to only draw half and leave the other half unfinished. For him, it wouldn’t take that much time at all.
So, was it intentional?
If Ju Nanyi intended to deliberately do something, he would certainly make it so that no traces could be detected.
