Chapter 84 More Difficult Than Ascending to Heaven
"Unlucky?"
Yu Nian hadn't thought about it that way. Would Chunyu Han really go to such lengths to find an unlucky place?
"Did something bad happen there? Or did someone die?"
Yu Nian was very curious, so she moved behind Yu Huaifeng and diligently massaged her father's shoulders.
"Don't worry, Dad, I'm very tight-lipped. I promise not a single word will leak out."
Yu Nian's flattery was very effective on Yu Huaifeng. Yu Huaifeng squinted his eyes in enjoyment, stroked his beard, and slowly opened his mouth.
"Actually, it's not a big deal. The older generation in Kyoto all know about it. It happened more than 20 years ago. It's considered unlucky because there was a house on that piece of land in the east of the city. The owner of that house committed a serious crime, otherwise his house wouldn't have been confiscated."
Yu Huaifeng gave Yu Nian a brief explanation. When Yu Nian asked whose house it was, Yu Huaifeng simply said, "You wouldn't recognize it even if I told you," and brushed it off.
"Father, that place is just sitting there anyway, so why don't you give it to me? Can't we just not put it in my dowry?"
Yu Nian changed her story and tried her best to fight for herself.
"This... I'm afraid that won't work. It's not just a matter of bad luck; I already promised the Emperor the day before yesterday that I would give this land to the Duke of Zhenguo."
Because he had been busy with Yu Ning's affairs these past two days, Yu Huaifeng had obviously forgotten about this matter.
Tsk...
Upon hearing this, Yu Nian realized that it meant there was no hope.
The Duke of Zhenguo is the Empress's own father; even if she tries to flatter him to death, he won't listen to her.
Why send it now of all times? Yu Nian is really unlucky.
As for why the Duke of Zhenguo chose that place, which even Yu Huaifeng considered unlucky, Yu Nian was too lazy to think about things that had nothing to do with her.
Instead of wasting time, she should be thinking about how to explain things to Chunyu Han.
To make Chunyu Han like her is as difficult as ascending to heaven!
Seeing that Yu Nian was not in a good mood, Yu Huaifeng took the initiative to push the remaining land deeds to Yu Nian.
“That place is nothing special, just a deserted and abandoned house. You won’t be of any use to it. Tell your father what you want it for, and I’ll find you a place a thousand times better than that.”
It is said that no matter how old a child grows up, they are always a child in their parents' eyes. Yu Huaifeng's manner is just like coaxing a little baby.
Yu Nian really wanted to say that this was something she wanted to use to make Chunyu Han happy; even if other things were a million times better, he wouldn't care.
"Father, since this land is gone, I have nothing left to want. Father has had a long day, so I won't disturb your rest any longer."
Yu Nian has learned everything she wanted to know, and is planning to go back and think of a way to get past Chunyu Han about this matter.
Just as she was about to leave, Yu Huaifeng suddenly remembered something, called out to Yu Nian, and said to her.
"By the way, tonight you should invite Regent Chunyu to our house for dinner. After all, your elder brother's matter wouldn't have gone so smoothly without his help, and our Yu family should thank him."
"And since you're getting married soon, I need to give you some advice to put my mind at ease."
Yu Huaifeng's words make sense, but his attitude has changed too quickly. Didn't he always talk about castrating dogs before? Now he's become the regent.
"Okay, my daughter will go and invite him, but whether he will come or not is uncertain."
Yu Nian first told Yu Huaifeng to prepare himself mentally, as Chunyu Han was a very strange person, and if he didn't want to come, not even the Heavenly King himself could move him.
After leaving the study, Yu Nian checked the time. Chunyu Han should be busy right now, so she went back to her room to deal with her own mess.
Yu Nian hadn't touched the sachet she promised to Chunyu Hanxiu yet, but now that nothing was wrong, she finally felt relieved.
Yu Nian felt it was necessary to deal with this first.
"Isn't it just flying wing to wing? What's so difficult about that?"
Before starting, Yu Nian cheered herself up, thinking that she could conquer the most cutting-edge research topics one by one, so why would she be afraid of a small embroidery?
Two hours later...
"Huh?"
Chun Tao, who came in to bring Yu Nian some snacks, tilted her head and looked at the sachet in Yu Nian's hand with a puzzled expression.
"Miss, what is the meaning behind your embroidery of two 'ten' symbols?"
Chun Tao had seen many patterns since she started learning embroidery, but this was the first time she had ever seen one in Yu Nian's hands.
Yu Nian: "..."
Is her embroidery really that abstract?
"Ahem, I was just embroidering for fun."
Yu Nianqing cleared his throat and could only laugh it off to avoid the topic. Chun Tao knew the original owner's skills, and if they delved into this topic, it would be easy to expose her.
"Miss, the Prime Minister told me to remind you not to forget to invite the Regent over."
"I understand, you can go now."
Yu Nian nodded, and despite the intense sense of defeat in her heart, picked up the scissors and removed the embroidery thread from her sachet.
She muttered to herself, "This is too difficult. At this rate, when will I be able to deliver to Chunyu Han?"
Huh? What is this?
When Yu Nian removed the stitches, she opened the sachet and found a small cloth bag inside.
Yu Nian held it to her nose and sniffed it, but couldn't detect any particular smell.
Strange, Chunyu Han always seems to enjoy the smell. Could it be that she has lost her sense of smell?
[The scent of the sachet is only effective on Chunyu Han.]
Suddenly, the system voice rang out, startling Yu Nian.
"Please don't talk like that so suddenly, okay? It's scary!"
"Sixth Master, I just couldn't stand seeing some people looking so stupid."
Yu Nian had no mood to argue with this old system. She looked down at the small cloth bag in her hand and was about to put it into the sachet case when she suddenly noticed a string of characters smaller than sesame seeds at the bottom of the small cloth bag.
Yu Nian held the sachet up to her eyes, squinting for a long time before she could make out the small string of characters.
"Expiration date: three months from the date of opening... What? This stuff has an expiration date?!"
This is from a legitimate manufacturer, not some unknown or counterfeit product. Don't make a fuss.
"Is that what I meant? What if Chunyu Han has another relapse in three months? Won't he tear me apart?"
Fortunately, Yu Nian discovered it early; otherwise, she wouldn't even know how she died when the truth came out.
【Then you'll have to figure out a solution yourself. Chunyu Han's nightmares stem from a knot in his heart. Unless that knot is untied, the sachet can only temporarily stop the pain, not permanently.】
Yu Nian's lips twitched. Why did she feel that the difficulty of this task had increased to another level? Before, she only told him not to do evil, but now she had to heal his heart as well.
"Phew... Alright, things will work themselves out."
Yu Nian exhaled her somewhat frustrated emotions and regained her energetic appearance.
It was almost time for her to invite Chunyu Han to her house for a banquet.
And there was still the bet involved. Yu Nian was pondering how to tell Chunyu Han the truth...
