Chapter 369 - 368 Still Not Going Home
Anshun’s Household was mulling over matters as they looked around the inside and outside of the Second Branch family’s courtyard. Within less than a year, the Young Lady and Old Master Qi had brought such wealth to the family. It was all due to the Young Lady’s capabilities.
Actually, there’s nothing wrong with the way the Young Lady is now. Those accustomed to wearing fine clothes and dining extravagantly soon find it nothing special, devoid of interest. But the Young Lady currently does as she pleases. At home, everyone is supportive and accommodating, and even outside, not to mention the employees and hired workers, even Sixth Master, as a prince, often gives leeway in front of the Young Lady. And Lord Jiang, who has always been on bad terms with the Young Lady, is now especially careful around her.
Thinking of Jiang Yifan, Anshun’s Household recalled the scene of the Young Lady and Lord Jiang talking in the courtyard the previous evening. Observing their expressions, they noticed the Young Lady was quite direct with Lord Jiang, not nearly as receptive as she was with Master Guan. On the other hand, Lord Jiang spoke carefully, always mindful of the Young Lady’s reactions.
Still, no one knew what they discussed. The Young Lady occasionally checked her surroundings, which suggested the topic at hand was not for others to hear. Could it have been about their past?
These matters should be reported to the Duke so that he can make early arrangements.
Anshun’s Household followed Ye Xinyan back to the rear courtyard, deep in thought. Just as they were about to enter the main house, Ye Xinyan turned around in surprise, "Nanny Qiao, aren’t you going to rest?"
That’s when Anshun’s Household snapped out of it, stepped back with a smile, and said, "Look at this foolish servant, lost in thought and not even aware of it. Young Lady, please go and rest. I will also take a short nap."
Madam Song pushed Qi Dong into their house. As soon as the door closed, Qi Yourong sat up straight on the kang and asked, "How much silver did you bring back?"
