Rong Yi looked over at Yin Jinye.
Yin Jinye said, “Let’s go inside and talk about it then.”
Everyone walked into the hall of the old lady’s place. Aunt Xian immediately handed Rong Yi the prepared tea and said, “Xiaoyi, welcome back.”
“Thank you.” Rong Yi sat down. Then Yin Jinye briefed the whole thing about Rong Yi’s disappearance, “It was the jade pendant Bai Yunchen gave me sent me to a strange place, and I didn’t come back until half an hour later. But half an hour there equals three years here.”
Old Lady Yin was marveled, “Xiaoyi unexpectedly encountered this kind of adventure? As long as you are fine. That’s the most important thing.”
Qi Lan snorted, “Bai Yunchen, it’s Baiyun Chen again! We have been looking for him for so many years but got no clue.”
“We met him.” said Yin Jinye faintly, “in Dai town.”
Qi Lan stood up excitedly, “Why didn’t you catch him back?”
“His cultivation is already above mine.”
Qi Lan froze there, “It’s him, Bai Yunchen must be him, otherwise his cultivation wouldn’t have soared so fast!”
“I also think they are the same person and he should show up again, but it’s very difficult to catch or kill him.”
Qi Lan, “…”
Old Lady Yin interrupted them, “Xiaoyi has just come back, don’t talk about fighting or killing.”
So Yin Jinye tried to switch the topic, “Mom, I plan to pick a date and hold a ceremony with Xiaoyi, then we’d be real partners.”
Everyone was frozen there.
Rong Yi held Yin Jinye’s hands, pleasantly surprised, “Daddy, are you serious?”
The corner of his mouth curved, Yin Jinye pinched his palm gently, “I already said it. What do you think?”
“Hee hee~” Rong Yi smiled like a child, both happy and particularly silly, too happy to express his feelings now. It had not been for the presence of others, he really wanted to pounce him onto the ground right here right now.
Old Lady Yin couldn’t help smiling looking at this scene.
Bu Qi immediately congratulated them, “Congratulations, shifu. I feel so happy for you.”
Rong Yi said, “Remember to prepare the red envelope.”
“Yes, yes, sure thing. Xiang Lv and I will definitely prepare a big gift.”
Old Lady Yin and Aunt Xian felt really awkward for them, “You kid! How can you directly ask someone else to prepare red envelops? Shame shame shame!”
Rong Yi grinned. “It’s only justified that the master shifu asks his disciples to prepare red envelops.”
Bu Qi nodded repeatedly, “Yes, yes, that’s our obligation.”
Old Lady Yin said to Aunt Xian, “Xian, you pick an auspicious day for them.”
Aunt Xian smiled while nodding smilingly, “I will definitely pick an auspicious hour on an auspicious day for Xiaoyi and Ye’er.”
Qi Lan suddenly rose to his feet and said, “I object…”
Everybody was stunned by his behavior.
Old Lady Yin gently frowned, “Lan’er, why do you object?”
Her question made Qi Lan stoned there. He also had no idea why he would object. But as he heard Yin Jinye was marrying Rong Yi, he just felt uncomfortable and didn’t want it to happen.
“Three, three years ago, I said I would marry Jinye, and then because of looking for Rong Yi , it has been postponed till now. Since Rong Yi is already back, it’s time we get married. Aunt Xian, please pick an auspicious day for us.” He then left the Yin Mansion with such a far-fetched reason.
Everyone looked at each other, and didn’t know what to say.
Aunt Xian wrung her eyebrows, “I thought young master Qi has already forgotten about it. Over the past three years, he has never mentioned a word of it. Why did he suddenly bring it up now? Not in the mood?”
The old lady also felt Qi Lan was acting weird today. Apparently he doesn’t have feelings for her son, besides, in the past three years, their relationship has been eased a lot, and he even slowly opens his heart for them. Why did he suddenly say he’d marry her son again?
Rong Yi said glumly, “is it possible he still holds grudge about what I did to him before?”
Yin Jinye said to Aunt Xian, “Aunt Xian, sorry to trouble to pick an auspicious day for us.”
Aunt Xian nodded.
Old Lady Yin said to Yin Jinye, “When Lan’er feels in the mood, you go visit him.”
Yin Jinye responded with an ‘hmm’.
Aunt Xian smiled and said, “Xiaoyi, I just ordered the servants to prepare some hot water with peach leaves to remove the bad luck. I told them to carry it to the bathroom in Jinye’s room. Now you can take a bath and I will prepare a table of dishes and some wine to welcome you back.”
“Thank you for being so thoughtful, Aunt Xian. I’ll take a bath and get changed now.” Rong Yi was still smelling of alcohol, so he could take a bath to get rid of it.
Yin Jinye stood up and said, “Together.”
Rong Yi smiles happily, “OK.”
The children, who were playing at the entrance of the hall, shouted, “We also want to take a bath, too, with daddy!”
How could Yin Jinye ever allow those little kids to disturb their sweet private time, so he asked whole casting a glance at them, “Did you finish the five hundred runes?”
Jing Mu answered, “Yeah, all done.”
Yin Tao, “Done.”
Yin Sensen, “Done.”
Yao’er, “Not done.”
Jiang Yu, Yin Tao and Yin Sensen turned to look at Yao’er in silence.
“We are, indeed, not done,” Stammered Yao’er.
