This time, it was really an unexpected disaster. Yu Feng did not blame Yu Wan. Instead, he blamed himself. If he did not buy the scallion pancake, he would definitely be with Yu Wan when she was imprisoned.
A girl was suddenly captured by a group of officials and sent to such a place. She should be a little afraid, right?
However, when Yu Feng looked at Yu Wan, he realized that not only was there no sign of survival on her face, but there was also… a faint smile.
This was not a pleasant experience. Did his sister become stupid from sitting in jail?
“Ah Wan, Ah Wan!” Yu Feng called out nervously before pulling Yu Wan back from her wandering state.
The carriage swayed as the light from the oil lamp flickered.
Yu Wan turned around in a good mood and smiled. “Big Brother, what’s wrong?”
“I should be the one asking you this. Did you suffer in prison?” Yu Feng asked.
Yu Wan shook her head. “No.”
She really did not suffer. The people from the Young Master Manor arrived in time. Before Miss Yan’s brother could interrogate her, she was saved from prison. Of course, she understood what Yu Feng was worried about. She looked happy and didn’t look like she had been imprisoned before.
She was thinking about the three little fellows. They were so soft and cute. They were really too likable.
Yu Feng originally wanted to investigate further, but he suddenly thought of something serious. His expression turned serious as he said, “Ah Wan, where’s our cloth? It can’t be still in the Magistrate Prefecture, right? Then-then, before we leave the Capital, we should hurry back and take it! Since we’re fine, it means that we can keep the material!”
“The material…” Yu Wan lowered her eyes and stroked the creases in her sleeves.” It shouldn’t be in the Magistrate Prefecture anymore. ”
“Then where is it?” Yu Feng asked.
“…Young Master Manor.”
Yu Wan got into the carriage before Uncle Wan. She did not see Uncle Wan’s actions afterward, but that did not mean that she did not know how to guess. The magistrate did not even dare to breathe loudly in front of Young Master Yan. She was taken away by Young Master Yan, so the magistrate would definitely not dare to detain her things. The fabric was most likely already in Young Master Manor.
“Then why didn’t you bring it out just now?” Yu Feng said with a headache. “Don’t tell me you forgot?”
Of course, she hadn’t forgotten. She had originally planned to ask, but just as she was about to speak, the figures of the three little fellows suddenly flashed across her mind, so she swallowed her words.
Yu Wan smiled. “It’s fine. I’ll go get it another day.”
Yu Feng revealed the same resentful expression as Yu Song. “We’re going to the Young Master Manor again…”
… .
On the other side, Yan Jiuchao and his servant also talked about the cloth.
But it was not Uncle Wan who mentioned it.
Uncle Wan had long known that the countryside child he met that day in the Bai Manor was Miss Yu’s younger brother. Speaking of which, it was fate that he could always meet Miss Yu or the people around her.
He had been so tempted by the fragrance of the scallion pancake and meatballs that he had forgotten to return the cloth to Miss Yu.
Uncle Wan said, “The material is still in the manor. I’ll send it to her tomorrow.”
The yamen had a record. Miss Yu lived in the Lotus Flower Village of the Lotus Flower Town. If they rode fast, they would arrive in two hours.
“Why is Young Master suddenly asking about this?”
Compared to the material, Uncle Wan was even more curious as to why Yan Jiuchao would ask about the material. Young Master had never asked about his job. Could it be that he had lost the Little Masters this time and made Young Master unhappy, causing Young Master to start doubting his ability to do things?
Uncle Wan was extremely shocked!
“Young Master, I…”
Yan Jiuchao interrupted him indifferently. “Does she know that the items are in the Young Master Manor?”
Uncle Wan was stunned and opened his mouth in confusion. “She knows, right? She was in the courtyard this afternoon. She probably saw the box being moved into Young Master’s room.”
Although Uncle Wan did not guess everything, he was almost right. Although Yu Wan did not see it, she guessed it.
Yan Jiuchao snorted coldly. “She knew but didn’t ask for it and she left just like that?”
Uncle Wan felt that Yan Jiuchao was implying something.
As expected, Yan Jiuchao did not wait for Uncle Wan to answer and continued, “When I asked her to come to the Young Master Manor, she obediently came to the Young Master Manor. She was so obedient that she even went against my mother. Then, she deliberately left her things in my room…”
Yan Jiuchao narrowed his eyes. “As soon as she heard that the chef had applied for leave, she immediately cooked a meal for me. I ate alone. Is there a need to cook so much?”
She was cooking for the entire courtyard!
Uncle Wan felt bitter in his heart. So you ate all the delicacies on the table because you thought that it was your dinner alone…
Yan Jiuchao paced to the window and looked at the wintersweet in the courtyard. He said meaningfully, “She even treats my sons as her own…”
Young Master, what are you trying to say?
Yan Jiuchao smiled coldly. “Can’t you tell what she’s up to?”
“What-what she’s up to?” Uncle Wan was stunned.
Could Young Master be suspecting that Miss Yu had ulterior motives?
Although he did not have a deep relationship with Miss Yu, he could feel that she was not a spy of any faction, nor was she a despicable person who fawned over the rich and powerful.
Uncle Wan was about to say that Yan Jiuchao had misunderstood. Unexpectedly, the little fellows who couldn’t sleep and were holding a big meat bun in their hands, as well as the little snow fox that the third brother had dragged along by its tail, slipped into the room.
Almost at the same time, Yan Jiuchao said indifferently, “She clearly has her eyes on me. In order to stay by my side, she really used all kinds of methods!”
Uncle Wan, who was speechless: “…”
The confused little munchkins: “…”
The little snow fox, who was no longer sleepy: “…”
… .
The night was deep.
The carriage arrived at the dark Lotus Flower Village. It was already past midnight, and everyone in the village was asleep. The village fell into a deathly silence.
Yu Feng jumped out of the carriage and handed his hand to Yu Wan before helping her out of the carriage.
Yu Wan was not in a hurry to go back. Instead, she opened her purse and took out two hundred copper coins. She handed them to the coachman and said, “It’s the New Year. Thank you for your hard work.”
Originally, they should have returned the carriage to town before dark, but something happened and they were delayed, causing the coachman to run around on tenterhooks for the entire day. From the beginning to the end, the coachman did not complain at all. Yu Wan felt that just for this, he should be paid for his hard work.
The coachman did not put on any airs and happily accepted it.
Yu Feng looked at the heavy copper coins and hesitated.
After the coachman drove away, Yu Feng said painfully, “Why did you give him so much?”
Yu Wan smiled. “Let’s go home, Big Brother.”
“You!” Yu Feng sighed.
Yu Feng sent Yu Wan back first.
Unexpectedly, there was someone standing outside Yu Wan’s house in the middle of the night.
It was an extremely young man wearing a long white robe. He was tall and handsome, as if he was waiting for someone. His every move exuded the aura of a scholar.
This was none other than Yu Wan’s fiancé—Zhao Heng.
