Chapter 711 - 709: The Discussions It Provoked
Nearing the Zi Hour, Jiang Yifan finally escorted Ye Xinyan back to Duke An’s Mansion.
The carriage hadn’t yet entered the gate when they happened to encounter a messenger from Marquis Zhongyong’s Mansion, who said that the boys were enjoying themselves so much that Zhao Gang had taken them to Qushui to enjoy a boat ride. They estimated that it would be very late by the time they finished playing, so they would first rest for the night at Marquis Zhongyong’s Mansion, have a good sleep, and then return the children the next day after lunch.
Ye Xinyan listened with amusement and smiled at Jiang Yifan, "I was worried that Qi Jia and the others wouldn’t have fun without me, but it seems the little ones are enjoying themselves even more."
Jiang Yifan also chuckled. At this rate, in the future, wouldn’t Qi Jia and the others find it dull and restrictive to play with them? It was a bit hurtful.
Ye Xinyan thanked the person from Marquis Zhongyong’s Mansion and said, "It’s late now, you should head back. As for Grandfather Qi, I’ll send someone to inform him."
After sending off the person from Marquis Zhongyong’s Mansion, Jiang Yifan said to Ye Xinyan, "You go back and rest. I’ll go to inform the old master now and check on him while I’m there."
Ye Xinyan thought for a moment and nodded, "It’s good for you to visit Grandfather. After the visit, don’t delay too long. Hurry back home. I’m sure your aunt must be waiting for you. If you return late, it would be unnecessary worry for her."
When everyone discussed going out to see the lanterns during the Lantern Festival, Qi Younian had already said that with his old arms and legs, he was too lazy to squeeze through the crowds and had made plans to drink with the neighbor, Old Man Li.
