Feelings are never a one-sided affair; it's never a one-sided act by one person towards another.

Lu Wujiu made sacrifices, and she also sacrificed for this relationship, perhaps even more than him.

"Let's go see Chu Yuyan."

"Oh!" Xiao Ya followed behind Su Jiaoniang, taking a few steps at a leisurely pace. She didn't want to look at that woman.

When Futu heard Chu Yuyan's name, his eyes went blank for a moment.

He glanced towards the study, sighed softly, and felt a bit amused. It seemed some things needed to be explained.

He led Su Jiaoniang to the courtyard where Chu Yuyan lived.

There wasn't even a handrail inside.

As you walk in, you can still hear the brainless old woman shouting loudly.

"Girl, my dear girl, the Regent is old, while you are still a delicate flower. Why should he leave you here and ignore you? We can't wait like this. Let's go to the Empress Dowager and let her judge. He's the one who brought you to the mansion, and now that you're here, he's just going to leave you alone!"

"Don't worry, Granny. Some things take time to resolve. Rushing is the most useless thing to do."

"Oh my, my girl, you are too naive. You have no idea how badly those people in the kitchen have spoken of this old servant. They say things like I'm freeloading, shameless, and that I'm not a princess or a concubine, so why should they serve me?"

...Chu Yuyan remained silent.

The foolish old woman continued her incessant chatter.

"Hey girl! What's wrong with you...?"

"It's nothing. What they said makes sense. We're not princesses, after all! Although it's only a matter of time. By the way, how's the matter I asked you to inquire about? What kind of aromatherapy does the Empress Dowager like best, and from which channel does she usually buy it?"

"Aromatherapy, huh..."

The old woman hesitated.

During this time, she lived a life like a fairy in the Prince's mansion.

I'd forgotten about it.

Chu Yuyan stared at the old woman.

"Since it can't be done, go back home. Your son and daughter-in-law are still there. I heard they had a baby a few days ago. You can go back now and help take care of it!"

The foolish old woman finally panicked.

He immediately said, "This old servant will go find someone to ask right now, right now!"

What home?!

If she really goes back, her daughter-in-law will bully her to death.

If she can bring income to the family, her daughter-in-law will respect and coax her; if she doesn't, she'll be someone who's summoned and exchanged for favors.

"Oh, really?" Chu Yuyan stared at the old woman.

They're already prepared to give up on the person.

Of course, we can't just give up on something so useless.

Even waste should be put to good use.

Chu Yuyan watched as the nanny walked out.

I looked down at the flower arrangement in the room.

The flowers are very vibrant because they are supported by water.

On the Empress Dowager's side...

The Regent said that nine years ago, the Empress Dowager imprisoned Consort Xian, who had just given birth, faked her death, and took the young emperor to raise. It is said that Consort Xian is still alive, but there is no news of her for the time being.

The Regent said that as long as she could find out news about Consort Xian.

That would be enough to get one thing done for her.

Things that do not violate principles.

...

She's going to be the regent's wife.

It shouldn't violate any principles, right?

After all, that position is still vacant.

Su Jiaoniang became sensitive to the mention of aromatherapy, feeling that it was more than just a simple fragrance.

She pushed open the door and entered Chu Yuyan's room.

Face to face with Chu Yuyan, their eyes met.

Upon seeing Chu Yuyan, Su Jiaoniang was utterly speechless. Based on her experience reading novels, her meeting with Chu Yuyan shouldn't be this simple.

It must have been on a special occasion.

Something suddenly happened.

Chu Yuyan was accidentally hugged by Lu Wujiu.

Or it could be due to misalignment or angle.

She thought the two of them were kissing. Then she was shocked and felt extremely upset. She couldn't eat and angrily fled from this place that had hurt her.

Then began the process and outcome of her fleeing and his pursuit, both of them finding themselves trapped.

And that's how we ended up meeting.

There wasn't the slightest bit of ups and downs or twists.

That's so undramatic!

"It's you?" Chu Yuyan's eyes flashed with surprise when she saw Su Jiaoniang.

I don't know how Su Jiaoniang suddenly appeared here.

Su Jiaoniang chuckled, "How have you been?"

"What are you doing here?" Upon seeing Su Jiaoniang, her first reaction was not joy at the long-awaited reunion, but rather wariness.

Aside from meeting on the road and traveling together for a while, the two had nothing else between them. Logically speaking, if they saw each other, they could have greeted each other, asked about each other, or even caught up.

But when she saw Su Jiaoniang, with her short stature, slightly pale face, and clear, all-seeing eyes, she felt uncomfortable, as if her carefully crafted schemes were being looked down upon.

She longed to be as carefree and content as he was.

But that won't work! That would mean losing a lot.

"I was just passing by and have a past connection with the young master!"

Su Jiaoniang pointed to the pagoda behind her.

Fu Tu nodded, indicating that she was right. As for Chu Yuyan, he didn't even give her a second glance.

There are some things that can be solved without Chu Yuyan.

Having this person can speed things up.

I used Chu Yuyan's to save time, but who knew she was so useless.

Fu Tu said, "You two talk, I'll be back in a bit!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

Su Jiaoniang looked at the little girl and said, "Are you going to stay here, or go out for a walk?"

"I want to go for a spin!" The little girl's eyes darted around.
