Chapter 642 - 640: Can’t Bear to Watch
Ye Xinyan had originally intended to add a few more strokes to the draft, but upon hearing words like those from Song Ping’s household, she found herself unable to continue writing. Seeing Ye Xinyan stop, Song Ping’s household spoke tactfully, "The old servant and Jiu Yue, Jiu Yu have been following the young miss and will not let the young miss breach propriety." It was difficult for her indeed, to urge the young miss to do something inappropriate came with great risk.
In the past few days, Ye Xinyan had felt somewhat anxious, and whenever she thought about getting married, the prospect of wedding in this era filled her with an uncontrollable panic, even more so than when she had fled from home upon her initial arrival.
She didn’t know if it was the fear of the unknown future or a subconscious bashfulness within her. So, when she heard Jiang Yifan say he needed to see her, she thought it would be best to avoid him, to give herself some time to calm down.
"Alright, then I’ll go have a look." Since she couldn’t avoid it, she decided to go and see, believing she wasn’t someone who dragged her feet.
At the corner gate of Duke An’s Mansion, Ye Xinyan saw Jiang Yifan looking as frantic as a fire, which filled her with surprise. What could be so urgent to make him act in such a way?
By this time, Jiang Yifan had already been let in by the old woman servant guarding the gate and was standing beneath the courtyard wall. Song Ping’s household and Jiu Yue, Jiu Yu stopped about seven or eight steps away from Jiang Yifan.
As Ye Xinyan approached Jiang Yifan, wondering what could be so urgent, she turned to instruct Song Ping’s household only to find that there was no one behind her anymore.
