Chapter 100 Chunyu Han is leaving
"It can take anywhere from five days to three days."
Chunyu Han noticed the lost look in Yu Nian's eyes and glanced at her slightly.
Yu Nian's pupils dilated in shock. Three or five days?! She can't live without him, can she?!
"Um, although it might sound unreasonable, could I come with you?"
Yu Nian pleaded pitifully, saying that if Chunyu Han left, she wouldn't be able to complete her mission.
"cannot."
Chunyu Han refused very decisively. Official inspections are not like going on a trip. Every day he would be inspecting with local officials. What would it look like to bring her along? Besides, Yu Nian was not yet married into the family. Their relationship was not legitimate and would be criticized by those with ulterior motives.
"All right."
Yu Nian's face fell. It was the middle of the night, and the elderly system was already asleep. It seemed she would have to think of a solution tomorrow.
Yu Nian's dejected appearance, as if she had been abandoned, was strangely jarring to Chunyu Han's eyes.
Just when Yu Nian thought Chunyu Han was about to leave, she suddenly felt a slight weight pressing down on her head.
Chunyu Han gently stroked Yu Nian's head with his hand, his deep voice possessing a captivating charm.
"Be good."
[Ding~ Congratulations, host! Chunyu Han's happiness level has reached its limit for today, successfully unlocking the laboratory function.]
The system's automatic notification sounded in Yu Nian's mind, and Yu Nian couldn't help but want to smile.
Good heavens, is this what they call an unexpected bonus?! A happy accident!
No, no...
Yu Nian frantically told herself to stay calm, and that she absolutely couldn't let Chunyu Han see her smiling at this moment.
On a sudden inspiration, Yu Nian lifted the blanket and covered herself completely.
"I understand, sir. Don't worry, Yu Nian will wait for you to come back and won't cause any trouble."
Yu Nian looked as if she had been bullied badly. Chunyu Han breathed a sigh of relief. He wasn't afraid that she would cause trouble; he was just afraid that she wouldn't handle it well.
"Go to sleep."
Shaking his head helplessly, Chunyu Han left Nanyuan.
Hearing a noise at the door, Yu Nian cautiously peeked out from under the covers after a while.
His eyes scanned the room, and after confirming that Chunyu Han had really left, a big smile appeared on his lips.
"Hahaha, that's great! Heaven rewards those who persevere! And the mission is complete, this is truly a double blessing."
After Yu Nian's tireless efforts, she finally unlocked the laboratory she had been longing for! If she could, Yu Nian really wanted to set off two strings of firecrackers to celebrate.
"Miss? What are you laughing about in the middle of the night? It's creepy..."
Just as Yu Nian was feeling happy, Chun Tao rubbed her eyes and came out of the dark room where she was on night watch.
Yu Nian: "..."
What the hell? You were completely unconscious when it was really creepy, but she woke up after only laughing a few times.
Yu Nian even suspected that Chun Tao had been secretly bribed by Chunyu Han...
...
After unlocking the lab, Yu Nian was so excited that she couldn't sleep and had a great time playing in her familiar lab.
By the time she remembered, the sky was already turning a pale white.
Staying up all night is fun for a while, but you'll be in the crematorium when you wake up in the morning.
Yu Nian was so sleepy that her eyes were numb, and Chun Tao called her several times but couldn't wake her up from the bed.
"Miss, please get up quickly. The headmistress has been urging you several times already. You can't miss today's class."
"Hmm... good Chuntao, let me sleep a little longer..."
Yu Nian didn't take it seriously. Now that Chunyu Han was gone, she was even less inclined to learn so many rules.
Chun Tao really couldn't do anything about Yu Nian, but today Yu Zhirou was going to class with Yu Nian, and Chun Tao didn't want Yu Nian to fall behind.
Forcibly pulling Yu Nian out of bed, Chun Tao began to groom and wash Yu Nian as if she were a paralyzed patient.
Chun Tao's strong willpower finally temporarily defeated Yu Nian's drowsiness, and she successfully got Yu Nian into the small courtyard where she was taught in the mansion before the teaching nanny could lose her temper.
"She's late on her first day of class. The Prime Minister's eldest daughter has quite the airs."
The tutor who came to teach Yu Nian and Yu Zhirou was an old nanny from the palace. She had managed to live to this age in the palace, a place where people were devoured, and she had served the Empress Dowager. She was quite prestigious and naturally had a high status.
Especially since she was invited to teach etiquette, she was able to maintain a proper teaching demeanor.
"Don't be angry, Granny Wang. My cousin has been working hard for my eldest cousin's affairs lately, and she must be exhausted."
Yu Zhirou sat upright behind the low table, and compared to the haggard-looking Yu Nian, she truly deserved the description of being radiant.
"This is what the future Crown Princess should be like."
Yu Nian's mind was still hazy. She slumped onto the table, not caring what the two were saying. Learning the rules was just a formality for her.
Chunyu Han only cared about her usefulness, not how fluently she recited traditional female virtues.
Seeing that Yu Nian remained silent, Granny Wang felt somewhat embarrassed and her tone became even sterner.
"On the wedding day, you should get up and wash at the hour of Yin (3-5 AM). If everyone is as listless as you, wouldn't that break the rules?"
Granny Wang's words seemed to rouse Yu Nian, who rested her chin on her hand and asked with narrowed eyes.
"Granny, isn't it said that ordinary eunuchs are married at dusk?"
Yu Nian clearly remembered that Chun Tao had said this to her.
"As you said, he was just an ordinary eunuch. Chunyu Jianguo was a first-rank official promoted by the Emperor. You will also be a noblewoman of rank when you marry him. On your wedding day, you should naturally follow the rules for officials. The more grand the ceremony, the more it shows the importance you attach to the Emperor's bestowal of the marriage."
Otherwise, I wouldn't have been asked to come and teach you two manners.
After Granny Wang explained to Yu Nian, Yu Nian was no longer sleepy at all.
If she were to marry Yu Zhirou in the morning, wouldn't Chunyu Han have to come to greet her with the Crown Prince?
Yu Nian felt a headache coming on whenever she thought about the scene.
The official road is only so wide; if these two mortal enemies were to meet, neither of them would give way to the other.
Seeing that Yu Nian had perked up, Granny Wang thought that Yu Nian had gained attention, so she didn't waste any more time with her and began to teach.
Little did Yu Nian know that her mind was preoccupied with how to resolve the chaotic situation on her wedding day, and she was completely distracted throughout the entire class.
"Alright, that's all for today. These are some things to pay attention to before the wedding. Tomorrow I will teach you some wedding procedures and the rules for serving your parents-in-law after marriage."
Granny Wang was very satisfied with Yu Zhirou, who was poised, knowledgeable, and well-mannered, and studied very diligently. But Yu Nian just stared with wide eyes the whole time, and it was hard to tell whether she had listened attentively.
If the bride's manners aren't taught properly, her reputation as a nanny will be completely ruined.
So after the event ended, Granny Wang made a point of keeping Yu Nian behind.
"Fifth Miss, please wait. I would like you to repeat the most important points I have made today."
