Chapter 356 - 341: First Update
It was late at night, yet there had been several scares, and everyone in Prince Duan’s Mansion had gone to bed early. Fu Dong and Nian Xia attended to Zheng Nianru as she bathed and dried her hair. They lit scented incense, and the little courtyard became utterly tranquil, a stark contrast to the upheaval of the previous days, now as calm as the aftermath of a storm.
Nanny Yun, feeling uneasy, came to check in. The number of guards at Prince Duan’s Mansion had obviously increased, almost tripling since their arrival. But Nanny Yun was still not reassured and had come personally. Nian Xia happened to come out, as it was Fu Dong’s turn to keep watch tonight.
"Nanny Yun, she has already gone to bed," Nian Xia whispered, even her movements much gentler.
Nanny Yun nodded, blocking the storybook that Xue Liu had sent over. Zheng Nianru had suddenly wanted to read it before sleep. This newest storybook was chosen for its appealing content.
"Why haven’t we seen that young lad Yin He today?" Nanny Yun suddenly asked. Since Yin He had timely intervened recently, his status in their eyes had significantly improved. These past few days, Yin He had been flaunting himself in front of the Commandery Princess, and even Prince Duan seemed a bit more tolerant of him.
So, it was quite odd not having seen the lad for much of the day, Nanny Yun suddenly felt.
Nian Xia glanced at Nanny Yun. She didn’t know about the afternoon’s events, though she was outside, she could vaguely guess some of it.
However, Yin He was not Nanmen Yu, who dismissed the Commandery Princess. Nian Xia didn’t want to think it, but it seemed as if the Commandery Princess had frightened him.
Indeed, these things still depended on the person. Although Nanmen Yu was also young, he had spent years in the palace and was accustomed to some of its darker aspects, which he naturally knew a bit about.
