Chapter 475 - 473: Do You Need Someone to Be a Burden?
Having come out of Duke An’s study, Ye Xinyan went to Madam Yin’s courtyard to ask what kind of nonsense that little girl from the Han family was pulling, behaving so rudely towards her.
Madam Yin was drinking tea in her room when Ye Xinyan entered and first asked Nanny Huang, "Have Qi Jia and Sanshun returned?"
Nanny Huang smiled and replied, "Not yet. This morning, Master Guan took the two boys and Jiuhua out to enjoy the temple fair, where they happened to meet His Highness Prince Yu. They had lunch together at a stall in the temple fair. After returning to the mansion, they’ve been playing with a few guards in the front yard and haven’t returned to their rooms yet, perhaps by dinner time."
"Met His Highness Prince Yu?" Is Jinrong so idle? To wander around the temple fair and even eat lunch at a stall there.
The quality of that lunch... all sorts of snacks? On such a bustling day, the eighth day of the first month of the lunar year, she had wasted an entire day at Prince Fu’s Mansion and missed the opportunity to feast on the various snacks to her heart’s content.
Seeing the signs of her daughter’s salivation, Madam Yin chuckled and said, "Take off your coat and sit on the kang. Are you not satisfied with your lunch? The kitchen is currently baking crispy cakes, and Nanny Jin has also prepared some milk tea, which should be served shortly."
Cui Zhu and Jiuyue helped Ye Xinyan take off her coat. Once she climbed onto the kang, she snuggled up to Madam Yin and asked, "What’s really going on with that little girl from the Han Mansion? It’s as if she has a deep grudge against me. You know something, don’t you, Mother?"
Since there were no outsiders in the room, Madam Yin didn’t hold back. "The year before last, not long after you left the Duke’s Mansion, His Highness Prince Yu earnestly begged the Emperor, saying he was bored in the capital and wished to visit his fief."
