Chapter 293: One More
"Yin He, quick, keep up—" Xing Yu was the most excited, pulling Yin He along as they entered. When Yin He came close to Zheng Nianru, she shyly looked down at Zheng Nianru.
She was treating her as one of her own. In Yin He’s view, Fu Dong, Nian Xia, Nanny Yun and the five of them were Zheng Nianru’s own people. Now, she felt that she was also one of them, and this realization made Yin He somewhat happy. Look, she didn’t call for Elder Can.
Elder Can naturally had his own affairs to attend to, especially these days, busying himself with having Ghost Shadow lure members of the Fire Order Squad and doing so without anyone noticing, quietly directing the evidence towards Zong Yunqian. All of these tasks had to be done smoothly and flawlessly, which was no easy job.
But Elder Can did it with pleasure, and the same went for Ghost Shadow and the other three, who worked with due diligence.
"Princess, today we’re going to eat a whole sheep. Nobody stop me," Xing Yu started shouting as soon as she sat down in the private room.
Yin He hurried to pull out a chair for Zheng Nianru, dusting it off and wiping the table again.
"No respect, making a joke in front of others—" Nanny Yun slapped the back of Xing Yu’s head.
"Nanny Yun, let her be reckless just this once today. I promised, and as the Commandery Princess, I always keep my word. Fu Dong, you sit down too," Zheng Nianru said with a smile, intending to compensate Fu Dong and the others for following her all these years in this life.
Xing Yu originated from the Prince’s Mansion and had spent some time there, so she felt more at ease in the mansion than the others. In contrast, Fu Dong, Nian Xia, and the others, though personally selected by Prince Duan for Nian Ru, were bought from traffickers and sent straight to Qishun Building, fearing the Empress Dowager’s concern.
