Chapter 156 Let's talk about something exciting.
"Miss, you really can't sleep anymore, or you'll miss lunch."
Helplessly, Chun Tao tugged at the blanket that Yu Nian was wrapped up tightly in in front of the small couch.
Yu Nian was somewhat relieved that she had married into the Regent's Mansion. If she had been in the Eastern Palace, she would have had to spend all her time showing filial piety to the Empress and the Empress Dowager, and the morning and evening greetings would have been enough to drive her crazy.
"Hmm...is it time for lunch already?"
Yu Nian rubbed her eyes. It was all Chunyu Han's fault. If he hadn't disrupted her biological clock, she wouldn't have stayed out so late.
"Where is Chunyu Han?"
Yu Nian sat up and found that the study door was ajar and not locked.
"I haven't seen the young master this morning. Miss, did you and the young master have a fight last night? Why did he send you to sleep here?"
Last night, Chun Tao wasn't on duty, and this morning she heard from the eunuch on night watch that Yu Nian had been sent out of Yu Garden by Chunyu Han in the middle of the night.
Yu Nian wrung out a towel to wash her face, and upon hearing Chun Tao's tone, she straightened her back and tried to save face.
Does she have so little status in this family?
"What do you mean he kicked me out here? I came here on my own because I thought he was too noisy and I couldn't sleep well."
Chun Tao suppressed a laugh as she helped Yu Nian change her clothes. Her young mistress's words were truly unbelievable; other men were afraid of their wives, but her young mistress…
After Yu Nian finished tidying up, she prepared to leave the study to have her meal. Before she could even step out the door, she was stopped by Sang Tian, who was walking in from outside.
"Madam, please forgive me. The master has ordered that you are not allowed to leave the study. All your needs will be sent to the Honeysuckle Pavilion."
Well, Yu Nian thought that removing the lock from the outside of the room meant it was over, but Chunyu Han actually found a way to imprison her.
Yu Nian guessed that Chunyu Han was probably still angry about that unfounded thing, so she didn't pay any attention to it.
"Alright then, did Chunyu Han say when I can leave?"
"The master said that you can come out when he returns from the autumn hunt. He also said that you must practice calligraphy for at least four hours every day, and he will check when he returns."
Sang Tian simply repeated Chunyu Han's words to Yu Nian.
Yu Nian frowned slightly, her expression as if she had heard something unbelievable, and her voice cracked as she spoke.
"Where did Chunyu Han go?! Autumn hunt?!"
Sang Tian didn't know why Yu Nian was so agitated, so he could only nod and agree with what Yu Nian said.
You bastard! You broke your promise! He's just settling a personal score!
He promised to take her with him, but he ran off without even saying goodbye.
Could it be that he was upset last night and left her here alone while he left early?
What a strange temper of his...
Tch, let him get angry if he's so quick to anger.
Yu Nian is now a person with a merit value of 10,000 yuan, so he won't die suddenly without her.
Yu Nian retreated to the study, and after dinner, she listlessly lay on the desk, gently biting the end of the pen.
After dawdling for half an hour, the ink in the inkstone had dried up several times, but he still hadn't written many words.
"Miss, please stop biting. That's a bad habit."
Looking at Yu Nian's pitiful appearance, Chun Tao figured she must be missing her son-in-law right now.
"Sigh, I'm not writing anymore."
All I do is make her practice calligraphy! She writes so well, is there a competition she's going to participate in?
"Chuntao, let's go see the truffles."
To make it convenient for Yu Nian to ride horses, truffles were kept in a stable not far from Yu Garden.
Yu Nian threw down her pen, stood up, and walked out.
"But Miss, the young master said you are not allowed to go out."
Chun Tao hurriedly picked up the pen and put it away. The young lady had had a hard time during the month or so that her husband was away.
"He wouldn't let me go out, but he also wouldn't let me go through the window."
Yu Nian not climbing over the wall to get out was already giving him face.
"By the way, Chuntao, there's a letter in my dressing table drawer. Could you deliver it to the Yuelai Inn for me later and say it's from Young Master Jin?"
Those two prime shops are still under renovation, and there's no need to meet with Li Mingjin right now. My second brother's shop is also being built according to the design drawings, so Yu Nian doesn't need to worry about anything for the time being.
Pushing open the window, Yu Nian gracefully leaped out, her embroidered skirt billowing out like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon.
"Madam, this..."
Sang Tian didn't know how to tell Yu Nian, since the adults hadn't said anything about not being able to go through the window.
"Sangtian, come on, teach me how to ride a horse."
Chunyu Han is such a loser, he leaves whenever he wants and can't be relied on. While he's away, Yu Nian should learn how to dismount first.
Yu Nian stepped forward and took Sang Tian's wrist. With Chunyu Han not at home, she felt more relaxed.
"What's the point of you standing guard here? Chunyu Han isn't here, so we can be more relaxed."
Yu Nianming's smile, reaching deep into his eyes, was pure and clear, like a mountain stream, making one feel comfortable just looking at it.
Sang Tian did not deny Yu Nian's words, and the master did indeed instruct that everything should be taken care of the lady, which should include the lady's mood.
Having arrived at the autumn hunting grounds, Chunyu Han looked back in the direction he had come from, but in the end, he still couldn't bring himself to lock her up.
Yesterday's reaction surprised even Chunyu Han himself. He wanted to calmly examine his own heart before getting closer to Yu Nian, but he just couldn't think rationally.
But she was so looking forward to the autumn hunt, and she wasn't brought along this time. She must be very sad these days.
...
Over the next few days, Yu Nian had more fun than ever before, and even persuaded Sang Tian to play cards with her and Chun Tao.
In Dazhao, there was also a kind of slender bamboo card. Yu Nian taught the two of them how to play it, and they used it as a playing card.
Before going to bed, the three of them sat around the round table in the study, eating sunflower seeds and playing cards.
Today is the 21st, and before we knew it, Chunyu Han had been gone for four days.
Yu Nian had a sunflower seed in her mouth as she chatted with Sang Tian.
"Sangtian, did you ever go on the autumn hunt with them?"
"No, every time, Master Mei takes Haiyan with him."
Yu Nian smiled. No wonder Hai Yan was so sarcastic when he saw Yu Nian. It turns out that he was Chunyu Han's "exclusive favorite" before.
"But please don't worry, Madam. The master must have left in a hurry because of something important. The fact that he asked you to stay in the study shows that he trusts you."
Even during a break from playing cards, Sang Tian didn't forget to chime in for Chunyu Han.
Yu Nian chuckled twice, not really agreeing with Sang Tian's words. Chunyu Han had asked her to come to the study so that she would be in the "homework" atmosphere as soon as she opened her eyes.
Yu Nian had already searched through his study whenever she had free time. There were no hidden compartments, just a small built-in drawer, which was locked.
After Yu Nian played out a set of cards, she only had one card left.
She was the landlord, and Chun Tao and Sang Tian were on tenterhooks when they saw that she was about to win.
Because the loser has to answer the winner's questions unconditionally.
"Chuntao, is it any of your business?"
Sang Tian didn't have many cards left, so he could only place his hopes on his teammate.
"Me? I can't afford it."
Yu read out a straight, but Chun Tao had only pairs in her hand.
"Since neither of you are coming out, I'm leaving then~"
Yu Nian threw down her last card, rubbed her hands together expectantly, and gleamed with a cunning light in her eyes. She looked at Sang Tian and Chun Tao as if they were lambs to the slaughter.
Yu Nian moved her chair closer to the two of them and spoke mysteriously.
"Shall we talk about something more exciting?"
